>>53575982Playing ultra moon for the first time, only played the original Moon on release.
Trying to use mons i like but never use, it took a lot of willpower to not use Alolan Sandslash again.
Hugely underleveled, i’m at the Necrozma fight (lvl 60) and my mons are 48~49
Stoutland is there because it was a random shiny, but its pulling its weight.
Ariados is kind hard to make it work, but after 1 swords dance, sucker punch and shadow sneak hit hard and with priority. Also the “new” Leech Life really helps, although the guy is made of paper
Turtonator was the mon i was most looking forward to use, but i had to get it from a trade with a friend because i later found out it was a sun exclusive. Really enjoying it too. Charge Beam really gets it going.
Palossand is not being of much help, unfortunately. Doesnt hit that hard and dies a surprisingly high amount of times.
On the contrary, alolan Muk is really good. Poison touch + poison fang is almost guaranteed to poison.
Togedemaru is useful, nuzzle is pretty good and having a good electric physical attack in Zing Zap is refreshing. Had to use BP to teach it Iron Tail, since it doesnt learn any steel move otherwise. Pin missile is cool i guess.
Really enjoying this playthrough, I remembered the alola games with a very negative light, but they are truly great games despite the flaws
