>>49241495>smeargleWould actually be a really good pick.
Not just for the contests where you can make the optimal movesets to crush them easily, but could function decently in the frontier.
Unfortunately, though I do love its design, the tedium of teaching it moves has, prior to this conversation, turned me off from it being my pick.
>togetic, and metagrossI actually don't much care for either of them but I understand their appeal.
I've considered Noctowl but the frontier would be too much.
Houndour is something I may very well go with but I also want to get something that's in SwSh.
If XD didn't shiny lock, I'd probably have already chosen Duskull.
As it stands, I'll likely have to just settle for Quagsire which I'm not unhappy about as it's an excellent shiny, I just wanted something a bit more, well, me.
Yeah, the IV situation is really no good.
I could, in theory, take the time to do it legitimately but I don't have -that much- time to waste.
Honestly surprised it took them until gen 6 to even make breeding not a chore.
What are you planning on doing with your Ralts?
Also, do you care if it turns out to be male?
I doubt you'd be waiting until finishing gen 3 to evolve a Gallade nor would you want to use a Kirlia in the battle frontier with subpar IVs.
