All right, gotcha. If you're available to trade now, hop in the Festival Plaza and send me a trade invite. My trainer name is SIlver.

I'll idle there the next 15 mins or so.

Oh hell. I have the worst news. THE ABSOLUTE WORST.

Friend Ball Shroomishes are blocked from wi-fi trading. This includes Wonder Trades and normal Link Trades.

This is BULLSHIT. I call foul. This is Apricorn Ball discrimination. GET ME MY LAWYER! :mad:

Have you checked if they even bothered to give those balls unique animations.

This whole bank update is really half-assed. I'm pretty disappointed. All that time spent making a living dex and it doesn't even matter in S/M.

Someone tell me an easy way to get a Cosmog/Cosmoem, Type: Null/Silvally and Lunala for my livingdex please.

Because my current plan (Wonder Trade) is not working that well, unsurprisingly. I did get a lot of Pokemon in different languages though!

You could try the GTS, though you'll have a harder time with it now that Bank is updated. Put something difficult to find, like a version-exlusive Ultra Beast, on offer and ask for one of those in return.

Alternatively, pop into the Discord room and ask someone with a green name to clone you one of theirs.

This is the first game I've played since Gen 2, so I don't have anything in the bank. What's the best way to pick up a bunch of pokemon from the older gens? Just start firing up Wonder Trades now that the bank is out?

Every apricorn ball is available in S&M, albeit one of each, so yes they are fully programmed in and functional. Even sport ball scyther etc. works, which is HGSS exclusive

:wooper: EDIT: Hooray! They actually fixed these! :wooper:


RE: What Bank poo poo is not yet tradeable online in Sun/Moon

Hypothesis: You cannot trade Pokemon species that were introduced in Gens 3 or 4 that are in Apricorn balls online in Sun/Moon. (Except the ones natively obtainable in Sun/Moon.)

Gen 1 and 2 Pokemon species (Larvitar, Kanto Diglett) in Apricorn balls are fine. Just Gen 3 and 4 'mons (Ralts, Buneary, Shroomish) are banned. Specifically the ones in Apricorn balls. Sport and Safari Balls are okay.

(Hypothesis based on discord goon testing.).


...But that's not all! Oh no. GameFreak hosed up in a more baffling way with this next part:

Hypothesis (2): You cannot trade fossil Pokemon species that are obtainable in Sun/Moon online if they have their HA--

IF they were hatched in Sun/Moon.


You can trade these exact same HA fossil Pokemon--

IF they were hatched in XY/ORAS.


:psypop:


(Hypothesis 2 based on reddit testing and it seems like it may actually include any Pokemon species that is obtainable in Sun/Moon but not with their HA, such as Porygon. I've only personally tested the Cranidos and Shieldon, see above spreadsheet.)

Note: Both these are negated in local offline trading. Anything goes for local. So it's likely a server-side problem.

I didn't bother trying Battle Royal until now and good lord is it some bull poo poo.

My Max IV, Max EV Adamant Infernape using a Iron Fist boosted Thunder Punch could not even do 1/3rd of an opposing Vaporeon, which had no hold item that would affect it, had no ability holding it back, and having Infernape be the first move of the turn.

Like it has all the normal bullshit you'd expect from a battle facility, but i'm not sure how it's calculating things to so heavily gently caress me over like this case.

Any info for Gen V mons ? I've heard that Island Scan mons with HA and in apricorn balls are not tradeable. But I just tested sending a HA Love Ball Gothita in WT and GTS and both went through.

edit: Just read the reddit link and it mentioned that HA Gothita is not tradeable. Odd...

Maybe GameFreak underestimated the lengths their playerbase will go to in the name of fashion?

But really they should have expected it. There are already several people who replayed Colliseum just so they could Fashion Ball the Johto starters.

I remember when you couldn't trade a Cofagrigus on the GTS unless it was nicknamed, because its species name has "fag" in it. Sometimes they just make mistakes. They might fix it or they might not...

I used a Silvally with Swords Dance and Explosion to cheese my way through the Battle Royal ranks. I think Garchomp was my second; I just wanted something fast and strong to try to increase my kill total. I would probably use Metagross if I did it again because it has a +priority move which Garchomp doesn't. Third was Celesteela to just stall until someone ran out of Pokemon. Toxapex was used in the reddit post I found with the Silvally idea.
