Pokemon Moon Namelocke Episode 5: Encounters of a Random Kind

Current Party:

Kitten the Alonan Meowth - Level 16

Misgender’d the Illumise - Level 25

POOPERMAN the Farfetch’d - level 22

Kyuubi the Vulpix - level 23

Patrick the Panpour - level 22

Capricorn the shiny Skiddo - level 25

As the title suggests I was still thirsty for those encounters so after Zigzagoon was acquired I decided to comb around the first location on my Lapras for some more lovely mons while leveling up Kitten at the same time. Kind of feels like a waste of time, but dark type will eventually come in handy and fake out will help me catch some of these mons.

I went all the way back to that cave by the meadow so I can surf around outside of it and discovered it’s Kala’e Bay on the map, which is a new location so went for my encounter there.

The grass on the outskirts of the area I ran into a female Donald Trump.

Named it Stephanie, because why not? Now let’s see what it’s Bold nature will buy me.

The second shiny to show up in this locke. We have ShakeDatBooty the Oddish. I’m kind of torn about this.... I already have my shiny Capricorn, who is my starter.... and I’m not the type to really consider replacing a starter, but the thing is the Chlorophyll ability would work great with Vulpix’s drought.... but in order to pull that off I’d have to switch out and then in and a grass type really wouldn’t be the best to ever switch into anything unless you are an impish tank like Capricorn. Even though I’d like to Shake that Body so I don’t hurt nobody he will have to remain on stand by.

The Mememe sea right by the H’aoli Beach Front is also a new location where I caught myself another irrelevant 4th gen Pokemon (Finneon) This Pokemon really disappoints me, because they could have done a lot more work with the design for the type of fish it is.

It had a hardy nature, which isn’t that big of a deal anymore since my last few trips to Wonder Trade helped me stock that box a little.

..... I don’t even know what to call this little bug I got in exchange. For right now it will just have to be The Symbol Master. Already got my VIP bug on the squad so in the box it goes.

Now with those encounters out of the way it’s time to continue the journey. Got Kitten leveled up so hopefully I won’t be losing anymore Meowths before getting a Persian.

Once the irrelevant rock tree got out the way (I really dislike sudowoodo blocking paths as though it’s a Snorlax or something actually useful) it was time to hit up the next route for yet another encounter.

Jade is the only name acceptable for a female Lillipup since that’s the name of my Yorkie who was sleeping on my back when I caught this little fellow. The exchange for this Pokemon in the quiet box was a...

I traded a dog for a DOGE. I’ve never actually used a Furfrou before, so this is something to consider for the future.... especially since I don’t think I’ll be taking advantage of Farfetch’d normal type that much, but in the box it goes. Seems kind of lame I know, but my team is fine the way it is really.

What’s most important though.... DID SOMEBODY ORDER A SCRIPTED BATTLE / MINI GAME THAT I’LL NEVER REVISIT?

I don’t know why I’m complaining I’d take Battle Royal over gen 3 contests any day and Misgender agrees. She was actually pretty good in it using struggle bug which attacks everyone on the field though only thing we accomplished really was taking Hau out of the game.

Now back to the actual story, which always leads to more encounters I took a small stroll in Volcano Park where I caught a Fletchling that I named Cinder.... inspired by RWBY obviously and then went to battle some swimmers and explored some hills where I caught MC DigDug the Diglett as a Route 7 encounter.

During the trainer battles Capricorn leveled up and due to the disappointment of Worry Seed not destroying a Schooling I the move for bullduze to give myself some coverage against steel and poison types though Capricorn will obviously not be making any appearances in the upcoming totem battle.

I’m still feeling comfortable with the team.... only regrets is I feel like Pooperman isn’t getting enough attention.

Before going any further it was time for another exciting round of exchanging Pokemon:

I think this is my first trip to the Bashful box and since the Diggersby is too high of level it was tied between 3 level 1s.

When it came to these three I was rooting for Absol, because I could see actually replacing Meowth with it to be honest because it’s probably faster and is one of my favorite Pokemon, and I could also call it EL much like #11 from Stranger Things, but when it comes to a tie the rules state I must use random generator.

2 means Guy the Litten is welcomed to the Back up Brigade. Really if one of the Alola starters had to be a Guy Fieri it would be Litten I guess. Not a bad Poke to have on stand by.

With that out of the way I still have to exchange the Diglett.

I feel like Brave and Timid are the most visited boxes in this game thus far, but there is no tie breaker here. I only have one choice for exchange.

Welcome to the box there Flower.... I was never a fan of using you in Kalos, because you never really packed a bunch and I felt like the game was forcing you on me to understand Fairy Types, but I can’t hold that against you I guess. I also hate the gen 5 elemental monkeys, but I have no complaints about Patrick at the moment.

Of course there is no place for Flower cause the next totem is not a fan of Fairy Types.

Speaking of which it’s time to get into it at the peak of the volcano my Trial does lie.

Lately in battles I’ve been leading with Kitten to get that Fake Out attack in, but I’m just going to throw Patrick right out there hoping for a victory. I promised him if he could win it for me I’d make sure to buy a Water Stone as soon as possible and admit I was wrong about the elemental monkeys.

In my opinion this is one of the hardest battles in the game, because despite it being a fire trial poison is used to it’s full potential here, but at the same time that Hiker Photobomb is still hilarious.

Kyuubi is a huge consideration for this battle because of extrasensory, but I don’t want the enemy taking advantage of that drought ability.

Finally time to take on the ugly fire lizard. I beckon Patrick to use taunt to save me from toxic, but he is too slow.... luckily I fed him enough beans today so he shrugged it off. Not wanting to suffer from that again I just straight up unleash the Water Z move, which leaves the enemy with 10% before sucking up the damage I receive and finishing him off with a scald.

The totem’s ally Pokemon was the most dangerous tbh with the poison gas venoshock combo I was close to losing Patrick. I had no choice but do the thing I said I wouldn’t do.... let Kyuubi finish the battle. She got hit pretty hard, but was faster, so with two extrasensorys the battle was over.

Kyuubi’s eyes say it all. She is the strongest member of my team and she knows it. She knows I’m considering using Pooperman in the grass Trial, but is making it clear that she is my crutch as she always brings me the victory. To not use here and celebrate these moments would be a complete insult to her reputation.

I feel like she’s the one in charge tbh... but this is the first episode where no one died and this means I owe Patrick an apology and that water stone.
