Pokémon Setting Sun and Waxing Moon

A NEW LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY

Pokémon Setting Sun and Waxing Moon takes the challenge to a whole new level. Remember the Elite Four from Rising Sun and Waning Moon? Well, in this game, they make their debut appearance at a whopping level 90s! But don’t fret, by the time you face them, your Pokémon should be in the 90s-100s range. And to make sure you’re not stuck grinding for hours, the game designers have made lucky eggs available for purchase. So, while the game is tough, it’s not unfairly so.

CATCH ‘EM ALL (ALMOST)

One of the most beloved features of any Pokémon game is the ability to catch a wide variety of Pokémon. In Setting Sun and Waxing Moon, trainers can catch all Pokémon across the four islands, with the exception of a few elusive legendaries. So, whether you’re a collector or a battler, this game has got you covered.

BUFFED AND REVAMPED POKÉMON

Ever felt bad for that weak Pokémon with a low Base Stat Total? Well, in this game, many such Pokémon have received a much-needed boost, making them viable options throughout your journey. And it’s not just about stats. Pokémon like Farfetch’d, Volbeat, and Noctowl have undergone type changes. Plus, many Pokémon now boast revamped movesets and new abilities. For instance, Vespiqueen and Nidoqueen now have the Queenly Majesty ability. Talk about a royal upgrade!

EVOLUTION MADE EASIER

Trade evolutions can be a pain, especially if you don’t have a trading partner. But in Setting Sun and Waxing Moon, all Pokémon that previously evolved through trade now have simpler evolution methods. Whether it’s leveling up or using a held item, evolving your Pokémon has never been more straightforward. And speaking of evolution, all evolution stones are now available for purchase. Convenience at its best!

ALOLAN EVOLUTIONS WITH A TWIST

Alolan evolutions added a fresh twist to the Pokémon world. But in this game, there’s an added layer of flexibility. Want a regular Raichu instead of its Alolan counterpart? Just level up your Pikachu while holding a thunderstone. Using the stone will give you the Alolan version. It’s all about giving trainers choices.

AND THERE’S MORE…

The features mentioned above are just the tip of the iceberg. From swapping out less impactful abilities for hidden ones to numerous other tweaks and changes, Pokémon Setting Sun and Waxing Moon promises an experience like no other. So, trainers, are you ready to embark on this epic journey?
