>>49987107I recently got back into Pokemon after having dropped it shortly into SM. I began playing Sun again and was trying to remember what caused me to drop it; the frequent cutscenes and fast-pace were annoying but bearable.
Then, I got to route 2. I caught a charging Makuhita and placed it in the back of my party. I was then challenged by Beauty Krystal, who had a Gastly with mean look.
I remembered what made me quit the game. In my old save, I put Makuhita at the head of my party and spammed sand attack while under the effects of mean look. I was essentially stuck, with Makuhita being unable to damage or escape and Gastly being unable to hit.
