I’m interested in SOS chaining all the alolan forms for pokemon home (plus an extra pichu so I can have a alolan raichu for gens 8-9 and 10+ each). I was wondering whats the fastest way to prepare. I watched different vids on it but I wasn’t sure which would be the best. I also only have one copy of ultra moon thats currently on ula ula island. I’m not gonna chain until the post game but if there’s anything I can do along the way that would be great.

edit: Also would it be faster to get the shiny charm and do all these hunts or do all these hunts full odds? I would be completing the dex from scratch and my friend with another 3ds/game I won’t see until the holidays (to trade). I do have a cooy of sun but it’s basically at the very beginning of the game (I also have copies of pokemon y, alpha sapphire, moon, but I wiped all of them back in 2019, Y and moon have some progress but at first badge/second island). I do have pokemon bank to transfer mons.

Hello I want to shiny hunt poipole and null. Currently on the fire trial right now and I wanted to know if I gotta worry about filling my boxes during the story. I’ve heard people say before poni island or before you talk to wicke but honestly I barely remember when these things happen (this is my first full replay). So could someone tell me if I can fill boxes post game or do I have to do it after a certain trial? I think poipole is during the story but null is post game (I rather do it all at once though).

I recently cut off two friends. One of them I want to talk about today because there was a behavior of their’s I felt was odd and wanted to see what others would think. First some context:

I cut off this friend because the basis of our friendship was gossiping, they consistently befriended people that hurt me or people I warned them about, treated me horribly when they were with their ex-boyfriend (insulting digs, ignore my vents, let him talk poorly behind my back, ditched me at lunch in high school, rude), only hung out just the two of us once and that was senior year (other time we ever hung out was freshman year with the ex-boyfriend), never took accountability when they had situations (except for their relationships), easily tell me other stories about their friends and share my personal stories on accident (I didn’t mind at first but it made me wonder what were they saying behind closed doors) and they would call my interests cringe which caused me to have a lot of shame that I’m still trying to undo.

Now I want to clarify I’m not entirely innocent. We became friends in middle school and I was an unempathetic person who tended to be grumpy. These behaviors lasted until freshman year. I honestly didn’t really respect them because of a situation that happened the year we met. They essentially were mean and bullied a kid online. So while I tried looking over it I think I subconsciously couldn’t see them the same. Of course, I eventually realized I needed to become a better person. So I admitted it upfront to the friend and I apologized and started doing better. I showed up to their events, supported them, and basically always lended a ear. This guilt I had for the poor treatment was why I never communicated the issues or tried to cut off the friendship because I thought I deserved the poor treatment. Now I know if they were an actual good or healthy person they would have cut me off when they were dating their ex. Another reason why I cut them off was because after they broke up with their ex it was just us two at lunch. They would start to make excuses to sit on their own and eventually they started sitting with my old friend group that mistreated/excluded me (part of the befriending people who did me dirty reason). This made me detach and lose all trust essentially. But I still didn’t communicate out of fear I was overacting and maybe I deserved it.

Anyways, my main question is gonna be related to a behavior of their’s I’m gonna describe. They basically would laugh whenever I talked. Like not even making a joke, a normal conversation they would burst out laughing. It didn’t hurt my feelings but it always left me confused. Sometimes I would also notice when we talk I would not talk at all and they would just keep talking for a while. They would never give me their honest opinions (I think they’re a people pleaser even though they claimed to get over it) and if they were confused by what I was saying they would never try to clarify and just keep silent. It’s really weird like I’m not sure how to describe it but with them it never felt like a conversation. It felt like I was talking to a wall or they were talking to themselves? I think part of this feeling might have to do with the disconnect I felt with them but it just never felt like we were on the same page. Anyways thoughts? Am I valid for feeling weird over the talking issues? I also want to ask if I deserved all the poor treatment listed. I know for sure the friendship had to end because we both were basically holding on to hurt/judgements about the other giving each other “grace” and I do understand once you hurt someone they don’t need to take you back. And for a little additional context, for the entirety of high school since sophmore year I was on my own during lunch and never attended any social events (besides extracurricular performances for this friend) because I made the choice to be on my own due to poor treatment from my friends (claimed I was studying a lot). I used to ask this person to come to performances but they always were busy which looking back was probably an excuse. But yeah I can’t really think of anything else and thanks if you read this far. Definitely learned my lesson to be a better person and leave at the first red flag. I may make a post about the other friend I cut off because their behavior changed and I’m still trying to gain some insight on why.

I used to test as isfp but changed to infp. Anyone know what exactly changed? The only thing I could think of is I used to be confrontational and more insecure. Now I’m less insecure and I try to avoid conflict if I can. I’m kinda wondering what else could’ve changed that I didn’t notice and if what I listed here is reflective of the mbti change.
