Does synchronize not work with Ultra Beasts or do I just have bad luck? I've been using it for the totems but I've caught clown dandelion 8 times now with a timid synchronize abra in my first slot and no luck.

if you flip tails 8 times in a row the chance the next coin will be heads is still 50/50

assuming its a 50% chance for synchronize, i dont remember off the top my hea

So I've hatched seven Farfetch'd with First Impression, Leaf Blade, and Quick Attack in Safari Balls, and they all have 31 IVs in all stats. They're all Adamant. I know, I know, it's Farfetch'd, but my intent was to create the best Awful Duck I could, and I figured I'd see if anyone here wanted a few of the good ones I don't intend to raise.

The one I hatched for myself is Jolly, but I sadly was never able to get any of him with the right potential to offer here. Also, if anyone wants a nickname, feel free to ask.

Its a 50% chance but synchronize doesn't work for roamers so I wasn't sure if the UBs counted as 'roamers' or not.

i would think not since they're stationary but gamefreak gamefreaks a lot so i'm gonna guess the answer is actually they're counted as roamers due to a programming error that will remain unfixed 20 years from now

I was able to get synchronize to work on them in the first game, when they were *sort of* roamers? So, unless they hosed with them between games, it should be fine.

e: speaking of old things kept around for no real point, when will these games let me nickname traded 'mons? :argh: I've got two Blacephalons, and both of them are from different countries.
Sidenote: thanks for whoever originally posted that trading away SOS pokemon is still gts gold.

Just make event 'mons have the downloading player as their OT. Its literally that simple. They even did it once for a celebi giveaway one time. There is literally no good reason I shouldn't be bale to nickname 'mons I get from an event giveaway. :colbert:

They do this a lot though? Like the current event rockruff has the player as their OT.

Its usually only pokemon that 'belong' to someone else (Ash's Pikachu/Greninja) or certain legendaries that don't give you the OT.

I've heard horror stories about the various trials and so far the Totems have all been evaporating before me

Doesn't help that the Trials give you an easy way to cheese them right before entering, such as Brick Break, Hawlucha and Noibat (Although Aquaranid and Marowak both fell afoul of my Duskroc's Rock Tomb, so...)

I suspect my Torracat is gonna make short work of the Grass Totem, especially if its helper does something stupid like use Sunny Day

I don’t care what the consensus is, the electric totem is by far the hardest.

I had no idea there was a Discord.

But I'll be around for the rest of the night. My FC is 4854-6464-7680.

EDIT - also, I checked, and god I'm inept. Only four of the ones with good IVs have Defiant. So there's only that many to go around. Sorry guys. I should be able to cover everyone who's wanted one so far though.
