Also: Mother of Arceus! Now that what I call a jackpot! Bulk Up is a excellent Boost Move, and it was one of the moves who was in my Move Wishlist.

A Delta Ripley can learn Bulk Up, but if any of you people want to learn if capable, tell me okay?

Around Boost Moves, the only ones a Delta Riolu can learn is Bulk Up, Work Up, Nasty Plot and Ominous Wind. Bulk Up, Work Up and Nasty Plot by Level Up, and Ominous Wind by move tutor.

I do wonder how much they're worth if you try to sell them to the Kecks or wholesaling them to another team, though, as I distinctly recall that Treasure Boxes in EoT/D/S could be sold for a decent amount of Poke (I believe it was $500?) , so that should translate to your game in some fashion me thinks. Until we start ranking in the Poke, it probably be for the best to sell Boxes early on to build up resources for future expeditions or miscellaneous problems.

Eh, it's the game you play with them no matter which version of PMD you're in that has Treasure Boxes.  No telling what's inside until they're opened!  At least you know you're going to get something useful/valuable from them if you do open them, though, and it's rare for the contents (of these ones, anyways) to not be worth the small amount of money put into them (as long as you don't get an Apple, Big Apple, Oran Berry, or Sitrus Berry, you've saved money!).  Again, it's not viciously sucking your wallet dry like most gachas when you're trying to get something good. (though those rarer drops are definitely worth pursuing : D Don't worry, though, there'll be other ways to obtain those drops if you aren't lucky with the loot boxes/decide to sell them off.)

Treasure boxes are definitely semi valuable selling items (being some of the better selling items in the series, in fact), but that's partially because the contents can easily be worth far more than the box itself (want to find out how much gold bars sell for?  Just go ask Cofagrigus).  Pretty easy to turn a profit if your luck is good.

Given how the system works, I'll definitely make rarer treasure boxes sell for more in this case.  They usually sell for 200-300 in the games.

The difference with this specific gacha system is that it's somewhat weighted in your favor and not designed to suck your wallet dry : D

That was a Common TM.

Either Pyra or Kogeki can both benefit from that moves. And in terms of defensive boosts, it's for now the only since it can't learn Iron Defense. Sorry my mistake @Lord Windos

Hmm...well, Pyra acts as a solid enough Defense Boost for the party via Intimidate, so don't feel as if you need a dedicated Defense Buff unless you want to not Level Up VIT. 

Thinking about it, I want Bulk Up now for Pyra, as I don't want to work on VIT and STR for her until she's Evolved and conserve XP for DEX, Channel, Brawl, Insight , Knowledge/Social Specialties , and Infernal Blade . By having it she has a means of artifically increasing her Stats whenever she needs too, so if its possible I'd like to get it. Only thing I have of value to trade for it would be the 2 Gold Bars she has, so I could give you one of them in exchange for it and help pay off her 'debt' to the group (based on how much more Poke its worth over Bulk Up) . Hows that grab ya, mate?

I accept the Gold bar you offer. I might make a post reacting to all this situation when got time.
