It has been discovered today, in the game code, that
catching Beldum in a Heavy Ball is simply impossible in Sun and Moon, so it has been removed from my wants list. Two things come to mind:
- I'm very sorry to anyone who spent time trying to catch one for me, especially
YourKingSkeletor whom I know actually spent hours trying and even got a shiny in the process. To
YourKingSkeletor, I offer any 5 Pokémon from my collection as a compensation, and I offer one to both
Ninjacole3 and
jedirb whom I misinformed about the possibility of catching it.
- I'm glad that I asked for proof of legitimacy and refused everything that didn't meet those standards. Several people offered me Heavy Ball Beldum coming from various sources I couldn't check, all of them with good intentions of course, but as it turns out, none of them were legit (now we all know!).
Yay! I like Gallade and I'll be glad to add it to my projects list. I'm not sure yet about getting a shiny one, but I don't exclude the possibility. The one downside is that I would RNG it in gen 4 or 5, so it would not be usable on ranked Battle Spot, let me know if you mind because then I will simply not bother :P
Honestly, I avoid actively trying to make any game come down to RNG with confusion moves because confusion is very unreliable, so I will probably never have Teeter Dance on any of my sets. However, if anyone wants this, it's pretty simply to take my Modest Battle Tree set, change the item to a sash, use the move reminder to teach it Teeter Dance, and there you have it! :P
