Pokerus should have no impact on breeding if my memory serves me right. So for breeding purposes pokerus is not needed.
It will be helpful later if EV training is desired.
Yay! Ditto caught! Let the breeding begin!
Starting with Evee because god fucking dammit that Espeon is going to haunt me. But let me know if anyone wants a Popplio.
I've done that.
For one hour.
A stupid prehistoric fish in that time.
But no lapras.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
This is useful. I'm only Lapras and Vanillish away for getting all wild Pokes.
! (and technically Lucario, Dragonite and Politoed)
You can only get the fish by fishing I believe(how I got mine), Lapras is surfing, I got it in 20 encounters, I can breed you one if you really need/want it later.

Nah, unless you want to help me trade evolve. But I'm still hunting metal coats, king stones and the dubious disk. I used knock off instead of thief for the one metal coat that I saw. I felt so dumb.

You using Compound Eyes? Should make the job 4x faster.

Have it, but as I'm hunting the razor claw as well, skarmory and jango-mo are rare-ish.
BTW, I'd really like it if Vegard Aune could breed her HA cutiefly for us. :)
…I really should see if it's possible to have my nick changed to Lord Starfish here too. Seriously, I thought that I was done being mistaken for a girl after I went through puberty but apparently to the rest of the world, my name looks like a girl's name.
Also certainly, I can breed the thing. With luck they might also have perfect Speed and Special Attack. (The one I'm actually training up for potential competitive play does.)
Rebattled for Ilima for fun, and caught a few more pokemon. Maybe I should advance a little bit for some more trainer battles, because grinding on wilds is not very enjoyable.
@Vegard:

I'll admit I've mistakenly saw you as Vegard Anne in my early days ^^;
This might be because I specialized in Ghost, but Kahuna Nanu trashed me.
He ended up downing all but 2 of my Pokémon, Gengar and Decidueye. When his final Pokémon (Persian) hit my Gengar and ALMOST downed it too, I was finally like "I'm done". I used Curse, which killed Gengar, and then I just kept feeding Decidueye Super potions…
That was a hard fought battle, and I love it.
Alright, I've bred some Sweet Veil Cutieflies. Five to be exact. Two males, three females, all with perfect Sp.Atk since that's the one power item I have so I was able to guarantee that… None with perfect Speed however. But...
!
Were it not for the fact that this one only says "Fantastic" and not "Best" on Speed and Sp.Def, I would've sworn this one had four perfect IVs. But no, I guess it just has two perfect ones and two that are, like… 30? 29? Close enough anyway. Were it not for the fact that I've already put so much time into getting my last Timid Ribbombee up to lv100 so I could use Bottle Caps and max out his stats anyway... I would be tempted to just keep this one.
Huh, the scarcity of battle point items migth make a market for them..
Still haven't gotten to the tree, pokedexing before endgame.
I've currently got 4 perfect IVs on an Adamant Wimpod with Aqua Jet and Spikes (the latter isn't really the best fit with adamant, but can easily be bred into a different nature), but I'm breeding both for the 5th (doesn't need SpAtk) and to get the things in beast balls (the original line was Ultra Balls, which aren't nearly as cool). The work on Wimpods will slow down a lot until my school work actually finishes, and I still need to secure a Destiny Knot, but I've almost brought the project to completion.
Calm HA Mareanies with Haze will probably be next, unless someone monopolizes that first (I already got the basic components, just need to breed in the beast ball and IV grind at this point).
Oh? Just hatched a Rowlet with an Adamant nature.
Isn't that supposed to be a good one for this mon?

Depends on the build. I've seen a lot of mixed uses, running both offensive and defensive sets on him. Adamant is nice for pure physical offensive, but I've seen people trying to run special attack sets instead, haha. Rowlet has a variety of useful natures depending on the purpose.
God, I really hate the call for help feature. It makes catching pokemon way too tedious.

Just paralyze them and they'll stop calling.
But given the calling is how you get hidden abilities in this gen….
Well, I've decided that once the pokedex is done I'm not going to breed or play competitive, or APs tournaments, I'll breed a few eevees and whatever HAs I got ( I think pancham and snorunt) and go into maintenance mode.
I'm more interested on trying to code the battle system myself, as pokemon showdown is open source: https://github.com/Zarel/Pokemon-Showdown
Its a nice adventure, but I've already ran in circles on a bike enough in pokeparis.
Is anyone hunting/breeding HA Slowpokes? Cause I plan too once I finish this hunting TMs.
Beat the story, really enjoy it.
Now I'm rich by only breaking rocks in Poni Island.
Someone confused Weavile for a Trade-Evolution mon, and I got into the wonderful tier of trade-evolution mons, already halfway there with the ones of Alola, seriously considering ignoring it for the scan mons.
Got Muk, so now it's a race to get Slowbro. I'm also right near the Ice Stone and Vulpix just learned Ice Beam, so yeah, happy teams.
Also considering putting Kangaskhan to the side? Granted I haven't been creative with the TMs yet but it seems Snorlax gets a lot more mileage out of being the Normal type of the team: she's bulky and hits ungodly hard.
And congrats Rising Star Mikey, you're not the most annoying trainer anymore. Dancer Mirielle trapped me in a Roost-Teeter Dance loop for over 10 turns.
Getting close to the end of the game now.
! Finally evolved my Crabrawler. Was NOT expecting that.
! Oh, and since I'm having such a frustrating time finding (7th gen) Pokemon with diverse typings, I've added Solgaleo to my party. Go ahead. Hate me. Ridicule me. I don't care.
Totem Lurantis wasn't too bad. Sure, I was one-shot by Solar Blade a few times, but since she summoned a Trumbeak first I wasn't dumb enough to kill it off so she could bring out Sunny Day Castforms. I got through Olivia (love Konikoni City's nighttime music) but I'm getting stomped by Lana in her post-trial battle. I don't really have a good counter for her Chinchou (Mudbray can't stand up to a Bubblebeam of course, and while Fomantis completely resists it she can't take much of a hit and I can't do much about Chinchou's Thunder Wave anyway) and even when I get past it her Araquanid crushes what's left of my team before I can even see her Shellder. I really hope some of my guys start evolving soon because my team just does not have much bulk to it right now.

What's your full team look like? If you need anything let me know, a new pokemon teammate or even just advice! Cheerin you on!

Why'd you keep it around that long? It must have been dead weight.
I did the same with Crabrawler and Vikavotl Nobodyman :P, you are not alone, I liked both so I stuck with them.

Because I see things through, darnit. And he was more useful than you might think.
I actually kept it until the early 30s before I caved in and looked up how it evolved. Then it was promptly boxed.
I kinda find it hilarious how the conclusion to Crabrawler's desire to be at the very top is only reached upon literally reaching the very top. Genius.

Kinda strange though that he goes from Rocky-style boxing champion wannabe to…
! Crab Yeti
it's because there's a real life species of crab
called the
! yeti crab
What are you talking about? It always did…
Well I'm just now getting around to inviting people in this thread there. :P
Visit a Pokemon Center on your birthday for a small surprise. Don't know if it'll work if you change the clock, though.
Also keeping my Crabrawler around until the end. The thing has been pretty much useless since I got to Ula'ula, barely do any damage unless it is SE (and even so) and is killed by anything (ANYTHING!)… but, you know, alola means family and family means no one gets left behind. Or something like that.
A little boon for the fashion aficionados: if you level the castle to lvl10 you get the ability to obtain the clothes of the visitors of your plaza.
I'm not defending the mechanic, I don't like the way it is, I just got my arcanine beach ensemble and my team flare glasses and stayed that way, and I think that is too much efforts for something so superficial, but hey, you have A way to get your clothes.
Honestly I like having the map in the other screen better than the TSS/amie/training I found the TSS annoying when not in use.
Got Slowbro. Really hope I can get Waterfall or something on it, because its special is not so hot.
I ended up with a box full of leftover geodudes in heavy and premier balls. Most of them got their HA.
There, finally beat Lana! My solution to Chinchou ended up being to slap an Eviolite on Mudbray so that it could tank a Bubble Beam then one-shot it with Bulldoze. While Aranquanid still wrecked face I got lucky and Lana never healed the statuses I threw on it or tossed it a Super Potion. Then my Grimer just outlasted her Shellder, and victory was mine at last!
Now to catch a damn Feebas…
I said that I didn't Want to keep playing, but I want to climb the damn tree so bad.
I seriously underestimated how long it would have taken to to finish the Alola dex.
Still at it. Tapu Koko down, and and I'm done with one island dexter
Huh, catching Feebas was surprisingly not terrible. There turned out to be a bubbling fishing spot right at the entrance to Brooklet Hills and it only took five minutes of soft resetting for one to show up, a female one with a not-terrible nature at that.
Is there a way to reset EVs or is that something you're kind of stuck with till you can breed and stuff?

Some berries, and some functions in the festival plaza can do it. Serebii's page on EVs has some of the specifics:
Berries are probably the easiest way, and if you grow them in Poképelago after maxing out the isle I think you'll start producing them faster than you'll ever need.

Friendship Cafe and Friendship Parlor sell food that reduce EVs, but you can only use them once a day.
