So I went Megastone searching and of course didn't find a single one. The annoying thing about it is that you are told that your Mega Ring will detect these stones. Well that's not true. It doesn't detect anything. It just makes it so when you go to the right spot between 8pm-9pm your time (the time on your 3DS) it will be there. Also looks like there is in fact only one stone per game which in itself is very annoying because it means I can not get the megaform of houndoom unless someone is nice enough to trade it to me. So with that being a bust I figured I'd move on to some more aspects of the game.
Hordes: I've touched on this before, but I thought I'd mention it again. As I've said before Hordes can happen naturally or they can be created. Some Pokémon will not appear unless in hordes. For example you can't find geodude in the wild except in hordes. Hordes have you face off against 5 wild Pokémon. These Pokémon can even have their hidden abilities. There is also a higher chance you'll run into a shiny Pokémon this way. You can still run into them normally but obviously your chances of having a shiny increase with 5 wild Pokémon. Now I will say that these are a lot harder than they sound for capture purposes. You have to knock out the other 4 Pokémon before you can even use your pokeballs. Now this of course is easy if you have a Pokémon that you want that has water absorb or fire absorb and you use an attack all move of those elements. Anyway to make a horde appear you have to use honey or the move sweet scent. I will say the smart way to go is to have a few timer balls. By the time you get down to 1 Pokémon and get it low enough to capture 5 or more turns will have passed making a Timer ball the perfect one to use.
Pokémon Amie: I again touched on this yesterday, but you will need to use this system at least once. Eevee will only become Sylveon. Eevee needs to bound with you fully on that system (5 hearts filled). It also needs to know at least one fairy type move. The quickest way would to be capture one on Route 10. Those already know baby doll eyes. Next one will take some time. To get hearts you need to pet and feed Eevee. Feed it pokepuffs which you win from games. The better you do and the higher the difficulty the better chance of getting better pokepuffs which of course Pokémon like more. Feed Eevee until it's stuffed then play a lot of games. Feed it again and pet it and continue until it fully bonds. You'll know you've gained a heart when Eevee lets out a cry and it unleashes a barrage of hearts. Once done you just use a rare candy or take it into battle and level it up. The other benefits are as stated before. You can recover from status conditions. Just yesterday my Lucario was put to sleep by hypnosis and before the turn was over it woke up because it bonded with me. This also works on poison, burning, paralysis, and confusion. There is even a chance your Pokémon will survive a move that would knock it out. For Pokémon normally in your party this is a good thing to do. You don't have to sit there and do it endlessly, just play every now and again and they will eventually grow and bound with you.
Style: In this game "style" and status actually play a decent part in this game. In Lumoise City you need to be considered stylish or cool to do or access certain parts of the city or get discounts. You'll also get new hairstyles and styles for your Pokémon Furfrou which can be styled in different ways. Note that it will change back if you put it in your box. Everything you do will get you invisible style points. Some will do more than others. The super high point givers aren't available right away, but you can do things such as getting your hair cut, riding the gogoat shuttle, or making a PR video will help. Then from there shopping stores, working in hotels having Alexa show you around, or going to the battle institute will help those points rise higher. You'll for sure want this so you can get discounts at stores like the pokeball store that sells specialty balls or getting the mega stones for the other starters which are not cheap. The other aspect of this is learning skate tricks. In the Lost Hotel you won't be able to meet the "boss" until you learn 4 of the 5 skate tricks. Then you'll be able to meet the boss and learn the final trick.
Wild Items: This is one I'm honestly not an expert in because I only have one Pokémon that will be able to do this in my party. When you are facing wild Pokémon and sometimes trainers you'll notice certain things behind the enemy Pokémon. These include grass, Trees, Rocks, Snowpiles, Sandpiles, etc. If you use the correct move then they will interact with these items and you'll get an item at the end of the match. For example if you see a Tree and use Air Cutter, Twister, or Blizzard then you'll get a berry. On Grass use Pedal Blizzard (the move my Venasaur knows) or Razor leaf and you'll get herbs. Now the big one that you'll want to be aware of is when you see a Boulder. Usually they are in caves, but can be found in Routes. If you use Rockslide on these guys you can get a Water, Fire, Leaf, or Thunder stone. Now that last one I know cause I looked it up. I don't have a Pokémon in my party with Rockslide so I can't confirm it myself, but I can do it with the berries and herbs.
Restaurants: The last thing I'll touch on are Restaurants which can be found in Lumoise city. There are 4. A one star, two star, three star, and a high roller sushi bar. These restaurants are of course not just for eating (seeing as your character doesn't really eat). You go in and will choose to either double battle, triple battle, or rotation battle depending on the restaurant. They do get pretty spendy, but in the end you get exp and a gift of berries, mushrooms, or even nuggets. The goal is to win the match in a specific number of turns. There are 4 courses I believe. The wait staff (or owner) will tell you how many turns. They will say something like this dish is best eaten after two turns and then the battle will begin. In some cases this is very easy in others not so much. I know the one star likes to use a compination of the 3 monkey's evolutions (Pansage, Panpour, Pansear). If you have moves that take two turns this is usually a little easier. The better you do the better prize you get. Like I said these are also good for getting free exp. They'll also give you style points.
That's all for today. Tomorrow I might touch on Avengers Alliance.
