Hello me and my broke brain have been staring at the purchase screen deciding between Eevee and Pikachu. On the one hand I think I'd prefer Eevee as a mon but on the other hand I think I prefer shoulder riding to head riding. This is ridiculous.

Help.

Pick Eevee so you can fit an Alolan Raichu into your team

I've been running around in circles on route 14 looking for a pinsir for like 40 minutes now and havent found it. I've seen a video of pinsir appearing on this route, and I have Eevee version, are there some other conditions I need to meet? Are there pokemon that dont appear until after certain story events??

I’m not 100% on this but starting chain on the route will increase the odds of rare spawns in the route.

Yeah. It’s how you get Charmander to spawn in his route. I think the same thing applies elsewhere. You need to hit 10+

Currently clearing out Silph Co floor by floor and oh boy did I pick a bad team to switch my team.

Additional info from serebii:
- to max shiny chance you need a chain of 31
- a chain of 31 also gets you at least 4 perfect IVs
- a chain of 70 for 5 perfect IVs and 110 for 6 perfect IVs.

The only way to break a chain is either catching something else or the Pokémon escape. So if you really, really don’t want to lose a chain it’s better to run away from the Pokémon if he breaks free the first couple of times to avoid risking it running away.

Ah I wish i knew you could run away from pokemon before they escape and keep the chain. Would have saved me a lot of hassle catching Dodou

anyway i got a chain of weepinbell going to 10+, and now i'm seeing a lot of chansey but no Pinsir. I swear there must be some kind of story requirement for pinsir or something, this is ridiculous

No they're two separate things. The main difference is that you have to talk to them in order to fight them and they give you useful items afterwards.

Starting a rare pokemon chain suuuuuuuucks. Losing the chain just as you get past the rare spawn hump sucks even more.

So chaining makes rare Pokemon appear more often and also increases the stats of the Pokemon caught?

You gotta improvise, Lisa: cloves, Tom Collins mix, frozen pie crust...


Plaster Town Cop

Right, but after 31 chain if you're only chasing shinys, you may as well just run into pokes and run from them (to clear them quicker) rather than using up 700 pokeballs and levelling your party to 100

Happy Noodle Boy

Another bonus of chaining: you get a gently caress ton of candies per catch. I’m going to end up with a ton of 4-5 perfect IV Bulbasaur if anyone wants one.

Anyone know a good strategy for combo'ing for shinies in viridian forest? I'm trying to get a shiny pikachu and have gone over the 31 combo threshold, but there's so many spawn points and a million pikachu show up at once. I'm worried a shiny one is gonna spawn but I wont see it because it'll be slightly offscreen or in another spawn area away from where I am. Is the best way to stay still in one spot? Walk around a specific area?

I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG, BROTHER!
Does this game do the move releaner or whatever? I accidentally hit not to learn Flamethrower (why the hell is the no option at the top??) on my Growlith when I was comparing moves

edit: Nevermind I'll just use a new Growlithe that's a few levels below and relevel that to get the move again
