[Electric Turahk]

Didn't realize Pichu was a bit of a rarer spawn. Should've caught one I saw it last night but passed because I wanted a different electric type on my team. Ah well, I'll get Alolan Raichu eventually.

Didn't make much progress at all since I started so late. Spent some time soft resetting for a Jolly or Adamant Litten (would have preferred the former, got the latter eventually) and then just grinding in route 1. Mostly because it took me a while to find a Grubbin before I looked it up and realized they were annoyingly only in a few of the spots of grass.

So my team is currently:

Kagami the Grubbin (Yes I unashamedly stole this only because I don't like reusing nicknames and have something else named Gatack)
Kane the Litten
Beak the Pikipek (Okay so... I couldn't think of anything)
Linlin the Alolan Rattata
Gordon the Yungoos

Realized a little while later that Linlin would have been a muuuuch better nickname should I want to try and get a female Munchlax, but still undecided on if I want to use that in my team just for early Z Moves or still just stick to my plan of only new things.

Also want to echo how much I hate the bottom screen now too. It's pretty much useless and from what little I saw (barely went farther than unlocking it), is as disgustingly hand-holdy as I feared. Can't even turn the damn hints off ugh. All the menu options should just be available from the touch screen like the past few games, not having to press a button first. It's asinine. (Though could give some credence to the "Stars" Switch port rumor by having minimal use of the bottom screen making that port easier.) And yeah I'll miss Super Training...
