I continued playing through Pokemon Ultra Moon today. I made it all the way to the second island. I spent a lot of time systematically going through each route on the first island and clearing the dex of all the base forms i could find to help go towards my goal of a complete national dex in Pokemon Home, but overall today was very slow, so i didn't do many screenshots.
I also managed to snag a Everstone for my Litten after spending an hour searching for a Roggenrola in a cave. According to the wiki they have a 50% chance to hold one. I didn't have any open slots in my party to check though, so i just kept grabbing multiple after multiple. After all that work though i can safely say i kept my Litten from evolving.
I also revamped my party a bit. This probably won't be my final layout, but i have Kiva (my Litten), Bill, a Hawlucha a traded a Spearow for (which feels like a little unfair towards the person i traded too), A Butterfree i evolved after catching it on Route 1 (Which i need to come up with a nickname for), Uncle Tony, and Ash's Greninja from the Demo (which i'll probably also swap out for someone else, they're just kind of keeping the seat warm)
I also picked the cute cat when I first started the game blind and had no idea what it was gonna evolve into, that it’d go from kitty to wrestling star was not on my mind lol
It was a surprise to be sure. It seems like Gamefreak always makes at least one starter per a generation become bi-pedal
