I did finally start moving on.  Things I got from GTS trading that I probably should not have at this point just thanks to having the patience to catch a female starter and a female bagon.

• Magmar (flame body)
• Water starter (female)
• Fire Starter (female)
• Rufflet (i'm playing moon and can't get one)
• Lycanroc sun form
• Salandit (female) (currently using one as a team poke for story. I bred a box full)
• Turtonator (female)
• Vulpix (female)
• Jangmo-o (female)

and I'm about to throw another bagon up on gts for a dratini.   Pokemon breeding is a hellova drug.

Ah, hee.  Is this the first time they've offered an in-game trade of a trade-evolution Pokemon since that infamous Haunter in Sinnoh?

And unlike said Haunter, it isn't holding an Everstone this time.

Well, you can trade for a Machoke all the way back in Yellow, which of course immediately becomes Machamp... but technically that's before the Sinnoh Haunter, so yes, I guess?

My first day with Sun:

Took 8 save-scums to get a female Popplio. Given that starters have a 12.5% chance to be female, this is within expectations of probability.
Three of the four Pokemon I've captured so far - Pikipek, Caterpie, and Yungoos - are all female as well. Only the Wingull I caught is male.
Nearly got wiped by a wild Slowpoke just outside my house. Didn't expect it to have Curse. Wasted at least three balls trying catch before deciding to just kill it and get the EXP. That was also a pretty severe difficulty jump between walking left/right from my front door and walking a bit south.
Decided to sleep in the bed in my room, was woken up by Mom's Meowth handing me an Awakening. Pretty funny.

Why are people going so crazy for female Bagon? Can't you catch them on like, Route 3?

ETA: ALSO! Zygarde Cube! What's the deal?

[Greiger]

You can catch bagon at route 3.   But they are a 1% chance to spawn. 

My best guess is that a lot of people rushed to endgame and did not thoroughly search every patch of grass and would rather trade over a late game poke for a hard to find early game one.

Update: Just traded a male bagon for a ditto.  Would have searched for one sooner had I known they are actually on the alola dex, and don't need pokebank.

[Sirus]

So, no one knows what the deal with the Zygarde Cube is?

Unrelated: Whoa, shiny Miltank over the Wonder Trade system. Not bad, considering I tossed in a Grimer, got an Abra, tossed that in for another Abra, and then got the Big Blue Cow.
It doesn't count as my shiny, but it's kinda nice.

You get access to a facility later in the game where you can put the cells together.

Found Youngster Joey in the Trainers' School.

He had a Metapod.

I am extremely disappointed.

[Sirus]

It's a top-percentage Metapod though

Went back to my house and noticed something: why the hell does your garage have a wall in front of it?

To keep dad from coming home?

>go bagon hunting on route 3
>find and capture one within minutes

After capturing it, I went back and found another after maybe five minutes of searching. Unfortunately my Petilil critted and killed it when I only wanted to weaken it enough to call for help >_<
Back to searching for me. I think that 1% encounter rate Greiger mentioned was just slightly off.

Might be.  The 1% was quoted from seribii.  I found my first one by accident, when I went back to catch a female it took 40 minutes.

[Sirus]

I just chained until I found a female I wanted. Might have kept going in hope of a shiny, but my team was getting beat up and half of them were burned.
