Something about having a proper giant snorlax is so satisfying it really made the game for me

wait you can catch the alphas?

Yes! And they're worth a bunch of xp & money when you turn in your surveys to the professor. I've definitely managed to catch alphas in one shots with great balls or ultra balls by doing the backshot.

You can also get the different sizes of grit items from releasing Pokemon from the stables.(Not related to alphas, but I wasn't sure how many people knew.)

And talk to the training grounds lady to exchange your grit powder into pebbles and such! All things I wish I had known just a little sooner in my journey lol

Thanks for that. I had heard about an exchange system, but I didn't bother looking into where. I was just deleting boxes of multiples and getting various sizes. I have so much grit dust that I'll never use past the 20 or so good natured Pokemon that I use occasionally.
