I'm apparently way too crap at the Battle Tree to get more than one win, so I gave up on trying to get enough BP for the Up-Grade and just traded away a Scizor for a Porygon2. It's nice that there appears to be some misconception about how difficult it is to get one of those because it makes it easy to trade. And with that, I just need four trade evos to finish my living dex of normal Pokemon. Hooray.

So I'm starting on the legendaries. Went and caught Tapu Koko first. Was easier than expected, only took seven Poke Balls. And I went and stocked up 500 of them in preparation...not that I mind. And the synchronizer worked the first time which is nice.

Three to go. And then some beasts.

edit: Decided to push my luck and went after Tapu Lele. Was harder, took 15 Poke Balls, still not too bad. Synchronizer worked again, so that's something.

Onto the bull.

edit: Bulu took 14 Poke Balls, though it was harder overall since it has 4 offensive moves instead of 3 and a status like the others. Also that it hits like a damn truck. Unfortunately synchronize didn't work this time, so he's Calm instead of Adamant. But I guess it's not like it matters, since I'm not even into competitive or anything. Also I don't really feel like resetting. So meh.

edit: and I got Fini. I accidentally killed her twice so I had to soft reset, but I struck gold on my third try. I got her at full health on my second turn! Friggin sweet. And the synchronizer worked! (The synchronizer also leveled up 19 levels)

3/4 ain't bad at all. Total number of Pokeballs spent between these four: 38. Not bad.
