Trying not to start it while I finish up the post-story stuff to do in Arceus. Lots to do in the post game, including a real motivation to complete the pokedex!
Was working on that, then I thought to myself... I should have an alpha Gengar. Because:
Took a bit to find an alpha Ghastly, evolved him up, found a link cable in a space-time distortion, and bam alpha Gengar!
Also found out that shiny rates are much higher in outbreaks and there's a way to basically guarantee a shiny from an outbreak if you keep going with it long enough.
Plus there's still post story quests I haven't done because I keep getting distracted by oooo look there's an alpha Goodra brb.
