Re: Golett's evolution. Cofagrigus just points doooooownward, with all four arms, indicating it's quite a ways down. He makes blinking gestures with his fingers - look for a light, he's saying.

@Mika- you can add 10 XP to the cost of Perish Song since it should have been learned in a prior evo.

Cofagrigus just chuckles about the curse and turns away without a handshake.

Gorged on the spirits of those slain by the ancient Genesect, Luna begins swelling and glowing with sourceless eerie light! She grows and stretches out new limbs, absorbing others, and solidifies into her new form!
Congratulations! Your Drifloon has evolved into Drifblim! In this form, a human can easily be flown around with perfect maneuverability.
The nature of her spirits means she sometimes might sense ancient tombs and battle sites, which she's doing now. She drifts down into the Kingdom of Genesect/Cofagrigus.

Hundreds of Yamask follow, a steady stream. Including the three who might go with Heart.

By the light of your Pokemon, you see a wonderful, kingly chamber the size of a warehouse. Nathan has read about an upper-level room where the Kings or early League members hosted honored guests. All the luxuries are magically preserved by an ancient Audino statue imbued with the preserving power of that Pokemon. Even the plush, thick, purple carpet is in great shape despite the dust covering it and the occasional claw mark. Small thrones or cushions of similar design are everywhere, most of them toppled or broken. There's a fountain, still running, with a crystal-clear wading pool completely ignoring the dust. The walls are set with golden statues of Glameow, Aegislash, Nidoking, Slowking, Helioptile, and Charizard. There are even a few Golett statues, but nothing about Golurk.

One golden Golett steps forward and claps twice. Two of the Golett statues come to life, bringing you purple robes and golden goblets filled from the fountain. Then they all three retire back to their niches, after bowing to you.

Cofagrigus is delighted and quickly begins setting things aright. This is his claimed Kingdom that he has joyously regained. Your attention is drawn to a strange feature of the room: the ceiling has collapsed in several places, dumping sarcophagi and lesser coffins to the floor. Cofagrigus lovingly puts a few statues in a certain niche, his own tomb.

The Yamask are streaming into the room, each hoping to find its own burial items and thus earn evolution. There are a dozen bursts of light as new Cofagrigus evolve, and soon the room echoes with celebratory cackles and HORRID wailing on the part of the failures.

@Spirit - Your three Yamask are here. Two of them have managed to find their tombs and become mighty Cofagrigus. One of them is forlornly searching to no avail. You can recruit any one of those three to travel with you out of respect to your bloodline.


Tunnels lead off in all directions, but Cosh insists downward is still the way to go - through a SECOND orichalcum door in the floor, covered in hexagons. Each hexagon contains a keyhole. There are about a hundred keyholes here.

Firstly, Spira swaps Noire's Spell Tag with the Banettite.
His reaction to Luna's evolution: "We did it girl! Finally!"

Once the group gets into the room, Spira stares in awe at the lavish design of the room. He politely declines the robe but does accept the water, offering it to Nubi (assuming of course it does work [read heal] like a Fresh Water) and drinking some himself.
