Been spending some time breeding and training Pokemon for a Battle Spot doubles team. Probably won't have it ready in time for the VGC-style online competition this weekend, but wanted to make a start on this.
Strangely, a lot of the species I use in-game are actually competitively viable this time round. I'd already caught a Timid Tapu Koko during my play through, so EV trained it in Spd and Sp Atk in the Festival Plaza for an easy start. Missing a couple of TMs, but I'll go get those later.
Then went back to Melemele Island and caught myself a Timid Growlithe and Modest Pichu with the help of two of my Synco Abra. Unfortunately, I didn't have an Adamant Abra, so wasn't able to catch the Grimer I wanted. Instead, I returned to the Ranch on Akala Island and bred my Adamant Exeggcute that I caught during my play through with a Phantump, then bred that with Grimer. Still needed Shadow Sneak, so bred the Adamant Grimer with Mimkuyi to get the egg move. With all that breeding done I started EV training. Both are about half way done so far.
On a side note, also very close to completing my Melemele Dex now. After a few trade evolutions, I've now just Muk, Slowking, Shelgon and Salamence to go.
