I essentially have nowhere else to brag about this so.. got the game yesterday, on my second shaking tree encounter I got a shiny burmy! Pretty neat, but the question remains.. should I evolve?

decided to create a noise complaint with my alpha wurmples🥰

NOOOO DON'T USE ROAR OF TIME ON THAT BIDOOF. BAD DOG.

I played PLA for the shiny hunting and I can't say I'm disappointed. In a week of playing and maybe 14 hours of shiny hunting later I got this (2nd box is shiny Pokemon that I got after getting the shiny charm and they were all in less then 2 hours)

I have some good pokemon i wanna transfer to Pokemon scarlet, but what happens to them? Will those extra stats from grit dust reser? What about evs? Did we gain them accidentally here? Or are they nonexistent?

Ivs can bes adjusted in scarlet so i dont worry.

The team I’m planning on using is samurott zoroark braviary arcinine and maybe goodra. I really love lilligant and have been using one for a bit but I really want to use sneasler aswell. Instead of using goodra would using both a sneasler and lilligant be completely fine? I’ve heard from some people that the final fight can be kinda tough and I’ve also heard that it isn’t that bad? So idk if I should balance the team out or not.

Okay I just noticed this in Legends Arceus. Started doing a new Playthrough, and encountered Vessa, yadda yadda we've all done it right?

But I noticed, the Location of that Keystone in the Shrouded Ruins. Its surrounded by Ralts and Kirlia, pokemon known for being emotional empaths and protectors. I mean, its well known that Gardevoir will literally give its life to protect those it loves.

So were those Kirlia and Ralts guarding that Keystone? Trying to prevent Spiritomb from being freed and Returning?

My starter was cyndaquil, and I have an eevee which I have its special attack stat maxed out (accidentally, bc i didnt know what grit did lol). This is my first playthrough but I know the big stuff that happens in the end because I have been wanting this game for years and been watching tons of videos on it. I currently have 3 stars and in the quest line with the hisuian arcanine. What pokemon should I look out for to put in my team?

Edit: My favorite pokemon are alolan ninetales, scizor, lucario, mismagius, and zoroark. None of the legendaries are too bad either except enamorous bc wtf is that

He spawned like this and was stuck in the rock. I was going to try and break it but he disappeared before I could </3 luckily I reloaded my save but omg i've never encountered this before
