    all those psychics would turn at the same time when you sprinted

    it's kind of annoying

    the move set you catch petilil is

    Growth
    Sleep Powder
    Leech Seed
    Mega Drain

    So I accidentally left a few Pokerus'd guys in my party overnight two nights in a row now, and last night I even had the game on when midnight came about, yet none of them seem to have lost the infection

    I thought it was supposed to cure as soon as midnight passed while they were out of the PC/Daycare?

    hustle is pretty neat

    it's not great, but a 50% Attack boost is nothing to sneeze at, even with an accuracy loss

    Every time i see a trainer running back and forth doing twirlie-whirlies it reinforces my theory that the pokemon world is in fact a massive insane asylum.

    Well, that and every time someone opens their mouth. I yearn for a pokemon game with remotely half decent dialogue.

    wait

    since when does Pokerus cure?

    By cure I mean have the "Pkrs" symbol get removed, gain a little smiley face thing in the status page, and cease to be able to pass it on to other pokemon (although it keeps the doubled EVs)

    I didn't realise the larvesta Gary gave to me was pokerus'd till shortly before midnight.

    Only two other pokemon caught it before it was cured: Jellicent, who i plan on not using nearly as much once I've trained this oshawott, And an oshawott egg i was raising which turned out to be basically the opposite of what i wanted.

    WAIT nevermind Elgyem is the only thing that appears on the top floor

    Also. The most eye-poppingly hilarious moment in the whole game for me was:

    "Would you have guessed... That this gym... Is... A ROLLER COASTER!?"

    If it can actually survive setting up its defense and/or Toxic + Venoshock, then it could be fun.

    man and petilil's evolution has a better special attack

    grass starter, you are not making a good case for yourself

    I have like 20 backups infected, since I was breeding Shellder two days ago and the Larvesta I was using as a Flame Body had it, so I figured I'd just get into fights in the grass near the daycare until all the eggs I picked up caught it too

    This went on for about 30 eggs
