No, only for your birthday, or if it's specifically stated. Otherwise, they are not claimable in horoscopes

Okay thank you. Secondary question: How orange and black do items need to be?
Muscle Band - Is this more yellow than orange?
EXP Share - Is this considered black or grey?

The majority needs to be the color. It's always good to ask, since some can appear different, depending on the computer : ) I'd personally say Muscle Band is yellow, Exp Share would probably be categorized as grey. That seems to be the consensus for now, at least

What exactly counts as a "ball" item. Does it have to have "ball" in the name or does it just need to be round to qualify?

Horoscope

* [ Ball items include; Non-event Pokeballs, Iron Ball, Light Ball, Tm Shadow Ball, Tm Gyro Ball ]

So the word "ball" has to be in the name meaning Life Orb doesn't count ... even tho it is a ball.

OrbA spherical body; a globe.
Synonyms: sphere, globe, ball; ext

Thank you for your comment, but we gave our answer, and it was stated in the horoscope. I'm not really sure what else to say when you try and start arguing this despite the fact that we probably have our own reasoning. It honestly comes across as though you don't respect our decision (since our statement and reiterated answer weren't enough), don't respect us (we obviously know our synonyms, providing it just comes across as condescending), and are just upset that the item you wanted doesn't fall into what we decided the list to be. I understand you want us not to be unnecessarily restrictive, but we needed clear lines to draw to keep it from getting so broad, it exceeded the idea behind the list/idea to begin with. In the future, please try and keep this in mind when you receive an answer to your question. It's very hurtful and frustrating to feel as if we're being talked down to, while having our authority questioned at the same time.

Im sorry, I didn't mean for that to come out the way it did. In all honestly I wasn't wanting the life orb I was just trying to understand due to past grey area's / oversights in past giveaways. I had also intended for the . at the end of the sentence to be a ? because it was a question, not a statement but i was on my phone so I assume I either hit the wrong key or it auto-corrected without my notice. Im sorry for any miss understanding this caused and I didn't intend to question either your authority nor talk down to you in any way.

Thanks for your answers. Another question though. I'm going to work towards posts to get a ghost memory so was looking around Alola, There's Aether Paradise but no Aether House. Why is that? Is it just not available?

Helllo, I saw your question and I has answer.

While the Aether House specifically isn't on the list of locations,Route 16 is. You can obtain memories posting here. You can also access Aether House for plot/general purposes on Route 16 as well.

Thank you for the clarification. Hopefully this will help us better understand the tone and meaning of each other's messages, and how they might be received, in the future : )

can you please make a list of the orange items for people who are color blind?
I thought I could get away with ctrl F Orange but there weren't any items with the word orange in the name. if you can't I'll just take a black item then but I'd appreciate it thank you.

Much like the event thing I don't quite understand postable shards. Could someone explain it to me? I passed on the event because I really don't understand this one.

Oh those shards, I saw shards and thought it meant shard shop ones. Thanks that clears that up. The event I was thinking about was Contest Bonanza at Coordinator's Corp. I'm just not sure what's going on there.

Contrary: Inverts stat modifiers, causes all effects that would lower a stat to increase it instead, and vice versa
Eviolite: If held by a pokemon capable of evolving (but has not reached its final stage), their Defense and Special Defense are raised three stages each at the beginning of battle.

So this would decrease defense correct?

Nah, contrary just activates for things that occur during the battle, not hold items that effect the stats before, or for a battle. The wording for eviolite does make that a little confusing, since it says at the start of the battle, but it basically means before the battle has really begun, so contrary shouldn't effect it, according to what we've found, and decided on.

When I catch the celebi summoned from the summon item I got from the Unown achievement, do I need to battle it?

And it's okay to swap the party around for the post to get the average level up, right? (lol)  

[JadeRabbitEmperor]

Because lucky eggs can only be posted in gym cities doesn't that make them an area specific Item?

You have the option of battling the pokemon or just adding it to your team, the choice is yours!

And yes, you can swap the party around.

~Lucky Chant: Damage done to user is reduced by 30 for 5 rounds. Prevents Critical Hits.
ç•Counter: If the user was last hit by a physical attack, using this move will counter back with 2x the damage taken (Priority -5) [Note: If hit with Triple Kick, it only counts the last of the tree attacks]

Would Lucky Chant's -30 damage effect the damage dealt by Counter?
