Should've had a male Pokemon in front with Cute Charm to force a 67% female encounter chance. Got me my Salandit easily.

This is implying I do what these games want me to do and catch more Pokémon than just who are required for my planned team.

True, though Igglybuff are found outside the Battle Royal, so it's pretty easy to then bring one to Wela Volcano. And yeah, if you're trying to Synchorize, then you can't Cute Charm, but such is life.

I always use Sylveon as my Cute Charmer for female Pokemon since it's relatively easy to get. Eevee has a high chance of being male, you get one as an egg from the ranch, and evolving him into Sylveon is pretty easy.

How useful is Pokémon Refresh? It seems quite tedious and is one of the only things that uses the stylus.

It doesn't have to be tedious. 2-3 rainbow beans and some pets will max out affection. You can get a full team from 0-5 hearts in under 5 minutes.

Yeah, iirc its 2 rainbow beans and 2 pets gets you 0-5. Don't take a toxic heal fella above 3 though, otherwise they start curing themselves of the status and that is annoying!

Hoenn sucked the first time around, and OR/AS was a regrettably faithful remake. If Gen 3 didn't introduce double battles and so many good Pokémon, I would have no qualms about calling it my least favorite.

If there was an easy way to do that, I never figured it out. Put the stylus on the right side of the bar, between and slightly above the beans, swipe it left really fast, and you might not pick up a bean after the third or fourth try.

Annoyed me too. I finally figured out I could get a consistent scroll at the top edge of the screen, stylus sliding against the frame.

Ok I finally figured out why Flying Press isn't used a lot for Hawlucha sets.

When it says it does fighting/flying damage, it means it always does dual damage, not just one or the other :doh:

That really gets in the way of things at the BT when you're taking on a mon with dual grass/poison typing that have the bulk to take those hits. Ah well, it was fun while it lasted!

Yeah, the effectiveness of dual-typed moves isn't the better of the two types, but the product of the two types.

I GOT FLAT FEET JUST LIKE MY HERO MEGAMAN
Total Clam
Just got the master ball in Gold, proceeded to duplicate it a few times because catching Ho-Oh was bad enough. Turns out that item duplicating in 2nd gen while maintaining a living dex is just tedious enough to never do it past a bunch of master balls.

Now that Celebi is available in VC Crystal and isn't shiny locked there, is it possible to catch a shiny Celebi and import it to bank still shiny? Or would that tag be stripped since shininess is calculated through DV's in 2nd gen and those are randomized for IV's during transport?

They cure themselves and then it reactivates so you don't get healed by it.

I like as someone who played the TCG in the WotC days some of these cards seem all bonkers OP. I also like that they made Dark and Steel proper types / have basic energy cards.

I find myself tempted to buy boosters on so many occasions but I realize that's a dark hole to go down.

As far as I'm aware, shiny Pokémon that were generated in a VC game remain shiny when transferred to Pokémon Bank. So Celebi can be shiny hunted and remain shiny.

I haven't looked at the TCG since the jungle/fossil days and always wanted to just come back, but I don't have local places so it's just for collection.

It's a nice looking card but it's a secret rare so good luck cracking one.

I think only one GX move is allowed per game which leaves it to be a bit balanced, but I haven't seen the meta which im assuming is even more bonkers.
