Does the Leek boost Sir'Fetch'd too, or only Farfetch'd? e: also, apparently all my favorite pokemon are in Shield, I picked the wrong version  I have a spare Farfetch'd if anyone wants to trade it for a Solosis or Larvitar

You're the only other person I've ever heard that does this Ms Adequate posted:Are the people finding Swoosh unusually easy (Even by Pkmn standards) running a single team they don't change around much? I'm curious because I'm switching most mons around all the time aside from my starter and Gyaradeez and this is honestly the 'toughest' Poke game I've played in ages. Yeah the EXP is unfortunately too generous as predicted but if you just catch dudes who you want to use and cycle them around constantly to keep level parity the game gets real good. Hopefully they patch in an EXP toggle though.

Bleck posted:don't Trust me that's the long term plan Also, more relevant: I'm extremely surprised at how well balanced the game has been so far around the exp sharing. I could definately see how someone could over level, but you'd have to put effort into it, and at that point why are you doing it if you dont want to be over leveled?

Pyrotoad posted:I ran into that same onyx with my own sobble, god bless the RNG for making it use Screech twice instead of attacking. If you go absolutely apeshit fanning the flames your curry burns, and if you spin too fast it starts spilling. It's easy to spill it on your own but I've only managed to burn it when I was cooking with another player.

It's easy to spill it on your own but I've only managed to burn it when I was cooking with another player. The very first time I cooked curry with a random player, they immediately burned the curry and spilled it everywhere during stirring, but we somehow still got Milcery rank curry. I have a hunch that the only thing that matters is the final "put your heart into it" minigame, since I've only had bad curry the one time I missed the cue.

That'd be a positive change, making it inline with Static and Magnet Pull's overworld effect. Wonder if other abilities got that type-attracting perk.

Kite Pride Worldwide posted:You're the only other person I've ever heard that does this That is likely the very reason why they made exp share permanently on and made it much easier to pull Pokémon out of boxes when needed; to force gamers out of their comfort zone and manage a larger team than they otherwise would have. Because of that I highly doubt the toggle will come back.

So far the only things I really don't like are the weird loud honk in the wild pokemon battle music and the lack of GTS. And maybe that none of my current team can learn false swipe, but that's more of a "me" problem. seriously tho why is GTS gone

ImpAtom posted:Pokemon is easy pretty much no matter what so being over leveled doesn't significantly change the experience. If you want challenges it's better to do things like Nuzlockes. Yeah this is what i do, approach every game with a gimmick. I ran a ghost-type team in Moon, and now in Sword I'm running a Steel team. It's actually pretty fun and thematic. Working within these constraints gives me a few big weaknesses I need to plan around, and a limited set of tools that I can use to deal with them; for example, one of Steel's big weaknesses is to Fire, so I run a Coalossal with Steam Furnace to deal with that specifically. And Coalossal's biggest weakness is to water (Scald!  ), so there's a natural spot for Ferrothorn to cover him. For my ghost-type team in Moon, one of Ghost's most common weaknesses is Dark, so Mimikyu became a real MVP alongside Mismagius as a setup-sweeper and Trevenant as a leech/drain focused build. Running monotype is thematic, too, what with most gym leaders and many trainer types focusing on a specific type or theme, and you often wind up having some trouble with the one or two gyms that focus on your chosen weakness.Has anyone discovered the secret to cooking good curry? How are you supposed to fan the flames, is it just button mashing?

It has been nice to be able to swap stuff out on the fly, and it’s encouraged me to use tons of different Pokemon, rather then settling in with just six or so. I’ve been keeping an ever growing rotation of at least 12 at any time, which has helped keep it from feeling too easy. Hell, I even got wiped by a gym leader yesterday, which I don’t think has happened to me since Ruby.

It's not really that baffling, it's a subtle way of adding complexity to the pokemon formula without being explicit about it. It's probably the wrong approach though given the fanbase.

Not sure where the this is the easiest game yet thing is coming. I am playing on Set and swapping out some new pokemon once in a while. But other than at the start I have never been particularly ahead of the Level curve and things have been decently tough.

I couldn't connect to any raids yesterday but I a manged to join two today, so keep trying I guess? Restart your Switch. Also it occurs to me that the catch formula was probably changed so that players couldn't meander into the Wild Area and Quick Ball their way into something thirty levels higher than everyone else.

Only time I was able to join a raid was when a friend was hosting them, and even then on the two we did we were the only ones there. People are either backing out too quickly or there's something wonky going on.
