co-sign. adding Dark type also made Muk crazy-better. It is only weak to Ground type moves, and offensively counters Psychic and Ghost types.

Its pokedex says "Its body can't be harmed by any sort of attack, so it is very eager to make challenges against enemies." so actually nobody can kick its rear end and it definitely isn't one of the pokemon that has the most weaknesses in the game.

Depends on your definition of harm, I guess. Maybe what it really means is "Tyranitar is suicidally overconfident because it can't feel pain and won't realize when its armor is being shattered."

Eeeek, I got the “error has occurred, please hold the power button” message while fighting the elite four.

I’m not sure what is causing it. I do have a third party SD card and a downloaded Nintendo Store game without cartridge, but the SD card is compatible and this has never happened before. Fortunately, all of my data seems to be in place.

Is the “repair game” function safe to use, or will it just delete my savegame? Are there any other ideas to prevent something like this from happening while I am saving and wrecking my game?

Try playing the game with the wifi switched off. If it works, your wifi card has dislodged on the inside of your console and you either need to mail it away for repair or do it yourself.

These are great! As a kid I remember being the only one of my friends who preferred collecting the Topps cards over the TCG because of how they depicted pokemon using attacks from the game.

These are really good but the Google Translations of the attacks are amazing and deserve to be shared.

Ivysaur: "Hot-cutter" (Razor Leaf)
Wartortle: "The rocket squirrel" (Skull Bash)
Caterpie: "Let's leave" (good advice, also, String Shot)
Weedle: "Talks" (Poison Sting)
Pidgeotto "Maid" (someone's fetish, also, Mud Slap)
Rattata: "A big deal" (top percentage, Tackle)
Raticate: "Towards an aquarium" (Super Fang)
Spearow: "Parrots feed" (Mirror Move)
Arbok: "Sow tuna" (Coil)
Sandslash: "Midget scratching" (Fury Swipes)
Nidoran-F: "Nonsense" (these translations, but also, Growl)
Nidorino: "To have one" (Horn Attack)
Nidoking: "To be spared" (the opposite, Thrash)
Clefable: "It is rare" (I guess it'd be a good way to get others to Follow Me)
Vulpix: "Long distance" (Howl)
Ninetales: "Snack" (personally, I wouldn't eat a Will O' Wisp)
Zubat: "Custody" (Leech Life is not the best way to get it)
Paras: "Sexual intercourse" (jesus christ, Growth)

I'd continue but I don't think anything will top that one. You could make a whole new Vietnamese Crystal with these though!

how can we not talk about family
when family's all that we got?
so I'm 4 shinies into my Eevee breeding program and I was looking for ways to speed it up; tried swap breeding, which I must have hosed up because it didn't work. maybe I used a bad guide or skipped a crucial step or something, cause it seems like a pretty surefire method from what I can tell. idk if I'm gonna try it again because it requires way more conscious attention than regular breeding, although I gotta say running through 210+ magikarps went by in a blink compared to the same number of Eevees

Saving, breeding something with a ludicrously short hatch rate, noting the number of the egg that hatches shiny, then loading back to the save and breeding the pokemon you want, tossing away all the eggs except the one you know will be shiny.

Has anyone done the math on shiny breeding in the Crystal port? I read somewhere that since shininess is IV-based, you can get a much higher rate of shiny hatches once the parents are shiny, but I dunno how it stacks against all the QoL life changes and things like being unable to breed for hidden abilities. Plus I guess you can’t breed female shiny Eevees.

Yeah, I've bred a ton of shinies and I dislike swap breeding. It's just a *little* too much focus for me when I could just regular breed while watching something or listening to a podcast instead.

Well, yes, and no, and yes. It's complicated.

+All pokemon transferred from the virtual console crystal port to Generation 6 have their hidden abilities.
-Pokemon with a ratio of 7/1(Such as eevees and Starters) Can never be both Shiny and Female, due to the way that their IVs are used to determine gender.
-Pokemon inherit their IVs, and thus their propensity for Shininess from their Opposite Gendered Parent, combined with the previous point you can't breed for shininess with 7/1 ratio Pokemon. Also...
-You cannot breed two shiny pokemon together as their Defense and Special IVs would flag them as related.
But.
+++Ditto is considered the "opposite gendered parent" in generation 2. If you can get your hands on a shiny Ditto, it's children will always have a 1/64 chance of being shiny.
