Campaign Update: So with @Hades0918 help, I got all the Violet exclusives for the regional and Kitakami Dex, the latter of which had a bunch of Trade Evolutions so massive thank you from me on that. I bred a Dreepy from Dragapult and then grinded it to 50 to evolve it into its 2nd stage. I also evolved Gulpin, Aipom, Sprigs and Quaxly so I’m now at 400/400 and 200/200 on each Dex after battling Ursaluna and beating him down with Gallade’s Aqua Cutter. Might continue doing other side quests, if any, that are left before I make my way to Blueberry. The Blueberry Dex Exclusives are as follows: For Scarlet, it’s Alolan Vulpix(which I will catch and breed on demand for anyone that wants one. Shiny not guaranteed), Cranidos(Fossil Pokémon so either it’s walking or has to be revived), and the three variants of the Johto dogs or Gouging Fire, Walking Wake and Raging Bolt. Violet, which I’ll have to trade for in due time, has Alolan Sandshrew(got an Ice stone all set for it), Shieldon, and variants of the Unova trio or Iron Leaves, Iron Boulder and Iron Crown. I’ll eventually get around to doing BBQ’s but story and catching/evolving what I can comes first. I might leave catching Kiraidon until I can boost the chance of it being shiny via Meal Powers. I know a shiny Box Legendary would get a nice haul.
PS: @Hades0918 Yes those were shiny. Got them while grinding the Dex.

Eh figured they wouldnt go so far but I guess there's some logic to that. In any case, I'll simply use the Master Ball on it. Treasures of Ruin and Loyal Three are already done and I figure against the Blueberry "Wild Three", I'll use typical tactics, even if I have to use Trapping tactics if they happen to run like they always do in Gen 2.

Campaign Update: So I've made it to Blueberry and I'll save character impressions until the very end. Lacey has you go to the Coastal Biome first but given you start in Savannah, I scanned the Biome and caught what I could before moving onto the task Lacey had before me. Caught what I could in Coastal Biome before doing the required task and found out I had already completed it so… yay me lol. Then went to the Polar Biome and made it my mission to get an Alolan Vulpix, even if I already have an Alolan Ninetales at level 100 :D. Finding a male for easy breeding is going to be a pain but at least I have Ditto to play the role of the father. Just have to get an Ability Patch eventually to swap its ability and then breed HA Alolan Vulpix to my hearts content. Finding Beldum is going to be a royal pain it seems without Meal powers. More to follow…

Campaign Update: So I'm up to the BB E4 part of the story and as far as Dex completion is concerned, I have everything done but Trades, Hydrapple(which I'll get the TM for from Drayton), Terapagos, post-game catches(like Gouging Fire + Pecharunt) and Violet Exclusives. So if anyone wants to trade Shieldon + Alolan Sandshrew and post-game exclusives, ill appreciate it.

You don’t have Shieldon or Alolan Sandshrew? It’d take you all of five minutes and some Quick Balls. Shieldon is in Canyon Biome(at least that’s where Cranidos was for me on Scarlet), while Alolan Sandshrew is Polar Biome and up high on a cliff away from the water or exactly where Alolan Vulpix is for me. I caught a Male and Female Alolan Vulpix so I plan on breeding the snot out of them once I get an Ability Patch for the Mother so I can breed the Hidden Ability. I do have to train up a couple Fighting types for Drayton’s trial seeing as the three Trial Trainers all have Fighting weakness. Speaking of Fighting types, getting Hitmontop was a royal pain in the bleep. Whoever thought of that Evolutin mechanic(ditto Malamar if I didn’t bother to look it up) ought to be beaten by Hitmonchan and kicked by Hitmonlee while they’re down. Once I beat Drayton’s Trial, Kieran shouldn’t be too hard since my team is level 100. I know I’m Overtuned a tad level wise but I don’t necessarily have the ideal Nature, IV or EV spread because I don’t really care about Competitive all that much. The level difference should be enough to steamroll him. Then I can go do Terapagos afterwards and finally the Pecharunt quest in Kitakami. The rest of the Dex is just catching regional starters and the 6 “Paradoxes” with three in each version. I’m not asking you to go crazy on the Paradox Swords of Justice but it’d be helpful if you did. I might go a tad nuts just doing regional starters since Chimchar is already done. Got him as an Egg in Kitakami.
