Basically giving it the same EXP boost that a Pokémon you got in a trade would get. That, and fully evolved Pokémon need more EXP to gain a level.

I think that chatot quest, the stunky camp quest, the spirtomb and the chimchar quests are the only ones that don't get triggered by catches? Does the Alola Vulpix not activate if you don't have a regular vulpix? Cause that's a gift pokemon like your starter so it wouldn't have counted as a catch either but it would have been late into the game. Spirtomb would have also taken awhile however because you can't really complete it until you get braviary.

I found it interesting that another Poketuber did something similar, but he only counted how many balls he used on Pokemon. To him it's totally fine to evolve Pokemon to get more dex entries. And yes, he only caught Geodude and Ryhorn for his challenge. Afterhe beat the game, he only used a whopping 13 balls in the whole game, including all forced catches like the starters and the origin ball. As a result, I'm fairly sure that Chatot is totally not necessary. You should be able to get enough research points with Geodude and Rhyhorn.

A detail that I think has gone unmentioned in these pla videos is that having a wild pokemon use certain moves on you also counts for the "Seen it use x move" tasks. You can speed up the research considerably by battling Pokemon of the same species so you get more chances to see it use the required moves :)
@Kahadi2 жыл бұрын
Since it doesn't need to be a mirror match, that really helps for weaker Pokemon. But when you start getting stronger than the wild ones, you start killing them too fast for it to really help. Well, except for Magikarp. Not a good option for this challenge, but in a normal or completion playthrough, facing a horde of Magikarp using your own will definitely help with seeing Splash enough times.
