I wish I didn't spoil myself about Enamorus' existence. I would have been FLOORED upon its reveal in the game.

Youve found FEMALE Combee?? I've looked at every single combee going and non have the red checkmark for Female :(
Literally second time I spoke to the pasture lady she gave me that info :| I found it super early on. Do we get more boxes later in the game because it feels like for a catch-a-thon style there's not enough pokemon boxes.
Its OK, there are plenty of people out there who haven't hit any at all *cough*me*cough*
I think at extreme rages, the ball actually just goes through Pokemon, or bonks like you said. I've had to move closer a few times for it. No idea how the range works, but the Feather Ball *definitely* shoots "high" compared to the other balls. Its the one I've missed with the most.
I literally played FFX over December and I was surprised how similar the battle mechanics are. I'm more annoyed at the game just straight up ignoring the turn order sometimes (me/me/them suddenly being me/them/me) So I'm sometimes getting attacked out of sequence and I'm not entirely sure why. Perfect accuracy on the moves is really nice (I like Agile Hypnosis on Wyrdeer a lot).
Satchel guy is a money grabber in a game with tight money restraints.
I also ended up with an odd glitch with an Invisible Golbat... Haven't been able to recreate it since though.
I think I hit a similar glitch when I couldn't see an Alpha Ursaring despite hearing loud footsteps close by.
I've found several!
Boxes in this game work like every game since BW1: you start with a limited number of boxes and then they quietly expand based on how many you've put into.
Small shiny hunting update: my Zorua outbreak has continued past midnight, so I must have just screwed uo my last Zoroark encounter and saved after the game decided the outbreak was over but hadn't broadcast the message yet. I am being more careful with Zorua now, hovering above with braviary to avoid triggering the outbreak found message and only engaging to catch shinies. (I've triggered the outbreak found message without it ruining the method, but I figure may as well try to be a little but extra careful).
I must have gotten relatively lucky with my Zoroark encounters, because in a similar timeframe that I got 7 Zoroark shinies I've only gotten 3 Zorua (and I have perfect on Zorua's dex, though that only adds one extra shiny roll).
How long is it going to take me to get a shiny alpha Zorua?? ;_; I appreciate my full odds shiny alpha krucketune a lot more now.

I've managed to burn through a number of Pokemon. Only 30 normal Pokemon left, plus Giratina & the wind folk.
most of these wont be too bad. I'll have to grind out some Merit to get some Razor Claws and a Razor Fang, though.
The real problems will be:
-Pichu/Pikachu. I dont even know where these can spawn consistently on Nature's Pantry, it's not a very intuitive area, and I've still yet to see them in either the Floaro Gardens or the Golden Lowlands either. It's getting exponentially more frustrating.
-Munchlax. I think my best bet here is the hotsprings, rather than the deer tracks.
-Magnemite, Magneton. The ONLY rift Pokemon I have left and that sucks. Little weird they're in the coastlands. I guess I'll jsut go there and just. Sit around. For hours.
-Happiny. Of all things...I've actually seen a bunch of Chansey & Blissey all over but the happiny aren't spawning.
-Spiritomb. I've got a little over half so its just following a guide. more tedious than anything.
Is there a moss rock somewhere in the game or do I have to use a Leaf Stone? That's more merit to build up if not.

Is there? because i've flown all around the area and i just never see one. I have to be missing it, is there an image, with its location marked, anywhere? I just see nothing but paras & kricketot as far as the eye can see.
Thanks for the tip!
My savior, it really blends in with the kricketots. I'll check it out later, thank you
This is what I did. Serebii says it's a rare spawn rate (about 3%) but the hot springs is basically right next to the second camp and has all its spawn locations bundled in one clear spot, so it's far easier and quicker to check.
Did you get all the Unown? I had to use a guide for both those and Spiritomb. ... well, I guess I didn't have to but I didn't feel like spending ages following clues lol
typical, first time i go to that spot and there wasn't a pichu or pikachu anywhere. Maybe I scared it off on the approach. Ah well, at least I have a dedicated spot to look for.
Arceus only cares about captures not completed research levels, thankfully.
I mean I'll still probably go for it but, Still.
Not yet no, but you only need one Unown (I have like 4 now tho) to count as a "capture".

Three mons left to get, and I'm basically just grinding Merit Points at this point. Anyone have any tips on getting satchels to steadily spawn?
For some of these rare mons, I found it useful to just look up how to get them on YouTube. There are lots of short videos out there showing exactly where to find specific mons.
Well thanks to help here I know where Pichu/Pikachu spawn so that's jsut a matter of rolling the dice.
And I know where Magnemite & magneton spawn but that's not just rolling the dice, but rolling the dice while waiting out the clock unless someone's found a way to trick spawns of rifts ( iwish you could at least increase their rate with dialga & palkia)
Munchlax spawning at the hot springs has a very limited area anyway
Spiritomb's full guide, of course.
I guess I could see if Happiny spawn anywhere special, though I figure it's near where blissey & chansey sometimes spawn on the Slopes.
Do *all* one time stationary encounters respawn if defeated?
EDIT: Also a requirement I haven't seen mentioned anywhere. The Sea's Legend requires you to reach a certain point in the story, but you also have to be Fifth Star rank. This makes sense, given Manaphy will stop obeying you after levelling up once unless you've reached that rank.

Found Pikachu (& by extension got Raichu).
While doing rounds for Pichus (wish breeding was in this game....) I looked up the specific spots where Happiny spawns (its ON TOP of oreburow!) and on the way there I felt so teased. The ambiance can, I guess, play any pokeon that can spawn there as cries and i kept hearing chansey & happiny but didn't find them on the past couple attempts. Typical, right?
Meanwhile, away from the fieldlands loops (which I need to add munchlax into, if i'm going to keep being here for a while), I want to talk about the most comical one of these at coronet: Bonsly.
Bonsly is actually super easy to get in theory: in celestica ruins it will very routinely (if not guaranteed) jump out of shaking rocks. So of course now that I want them, I never see the rocks shake! Logically it's just bad luck, but emotionally it's the game spiting me, specifically.

Not counting the Ponyta from the request, I finally got my first shiny: a female Hisuian Basculin! Really glad being able to save in front of shinies is a thing because trying to catch Pokemon in the water is a horrible experience. Messed this one up about 3 times before finally catching her.
Ignoring the clutch shiny catch, is this the first time Gardevoir runs on its own two feet instead of levitating? In SwSh, the whole line (minus Gallade) walk when slow, but float when speeding up, but in P:LA, are always on the ground. Compare this to the Abra line that always float in the wild, including Kadabra and Alakazam.
Having pacified the fifth noble, I have 183 Pokémon seen, 119 caught, and 30 complete. I've filled out enough of the Pokédex that I can infer the lines I haven't seen yet (Cherubi/Cherrim, Pachirisu, Spiritomb, Misdreavus/Mismagius, Rotom, and Zorua/Zoroark). As such I assume there isn't much of the main story left.
Though if my counting is correct, it there isn't enough room in the Pokédex for the Regis to be present. I wonder how you get Regigigas in that case.
In addition I have caught two more shinies, a Snorunt and Aipom. The Snorunt is male so I don't have to worry about what I should evolve it into. Already this game has quadrupled the amount of Shiny Pokémon I've ever caught, the first being a Spearow in Ultra Sun.

The space time distortions are the worst part of the game. The one Shieldon I caught during the story maxed out at research level 9 so now I have to go sit around the Highlands for another few hours. 
Still not seen a Pichu or Happiny, but I did see an incredibly small Chansey and more importantly a Munchlax.
A rift formed since I was taking so long on this; sadly I already had the pokemon from it but I did pick up a few extra sneasels and got a couple or protectors so rhyperior is no need for merit.
Also here's a fun thing: Eevee mimicked Dark Void and used it against me. Guess siince they didn't need to worry about it they removed the "only darkrai can use" flag
I'm going to put pichu on hold and hunt for happiny in cobalt coastlands so i can fish around for space time rifts

Any tips on the Enamorus encounter? I am really struggling
Beat the aggresive mons in the area first (like alpha Skuntank), so they dont disrupt the fight.
Hide behind a rock and try to take the first few shields with a wing ball from a safe distance (try to hit and run if she still attack you), for the last shield charge with Wyrdeer and throw something right next to her so you can quickly send out a mon to fight before she can recover, you may need some luck as she loves to use hurricane where you are standing, try using evade as soon as you leave wyrdeer if you have too much trouble.
