Alright so yesterday I tossed together a quick puzzle and the general consensus seemed to be that it was too easy. Hopefully this next one is a little tougher. Instructions: Each 3 pokemon long ROW, COLUMN and DIAGONAL of the attached image shows 3 pokemon that are in some way related/connected. For example, a column with Froakie, Bulbasaur and Turtwig would have 'starter pokemon' as the connecting factor. Your job is to figure out the connecting factors for each row, column and diagonal. If the first person to solve each row/column/diagonal posts a friend code they will also receive a prize. There is a limit of one prize per player. Prize list is as follows: -Each correctly solved ROW gets an adamant (gale wings) Fletchling. -Each correctly solved COLUMN gets a timid (solar power) Charmander -Each correctly solved DIAGONAL gets a modest (drought) Vulpix. Unless otherwise stated, prize pokemon will have 4 perfect IVs in relevant stats.

>>15766443 Correct. Technically their evolutionary lines received the evolutions but you've got the same idea.
