Oh man I was so close to dumping Toxel from my team for not learning a single move and having no idea how to evolve it but wow is Toxtricity worth it.

So story time: I've had a truly horrendous week capped off with needing to take my dog into the ER for internal bleeding. Needless to say I craved a distraction from all the poo poo currently consuming my life, caved and bought the game. I told you that story to tell you this one. I caught a flawless toxel in game with a golden aura and the right nature to be amped up but get a +10 in special attack. Needless to say this thing is my precious child and it is murdering everything in it's path with no trouble. The end.

Send this pupper my best! I’m guessing the daycare Toxtricity comes pre-amped cause Docile doesn’t seem like the kind of nature that would get you amped up (but it does like to thrash about?)

Mercifully Jessie is going to be ok. The wound in her stomach has finally closed and she's no longer vomiting/passing blood. Goddamn vet scared the hell out of me telling me she could go septic and I didn't sleep for two days trying to keep an eye on her so I didn't miss it if she started developing a fever/ the shakes. From what I read the nature of the daycare toxel is random, truth be told I just wanted to put my good boi in a quick ball to match their coloring but I got extremely lucky on my first go, like ridiculously so. I'm keeping this one forever btw all he needs is a little hyper training and he's perfect.

Okay so, what are my friend and I doing wrong with trading?

We're both selecting link trade with passcode, using the same code, and then either never getting a hit or getting hit after hit from other people presumably using the same code. But no matter what, we just can't seem to connect to each other.

What are we missing? Surely there is a way to just see that a friend is online and select from a list of actions what you want to do with them? Or is everything literally just shouting out into the ether and seeing who responds? Surely not.

https://www.serebii.net/pokedex-swsh/toxtricity/

Toxel evolve at level 30 and the form of their evolution is determined by their nature. That page I linked should show you what nature determines whether they're low key or amped up. Differences are mainly cosmetic but they have slightly different movesets. Personally I prefer the amped up appearance but most of those natures don't add to toxtricity's most vital stat: their special attack. I got lucky because mine was rash.

It's so good.

Speaking of how common are the tea pots? I found one by luck on the ground and used it on the first teacup I got but they have a kinda lovely nature (Special Defense + Speed - is kinda redundant when they can only have the weak armor ability). Am I gonna have to be more careful about who I use other ones I find on or is there a vendor or something later?

Yeah, I saw him making trades and I kept getting them too - just not with each other. I can guarantee I was online, not 100% about him, but I have no clue how he'd be getting trades or how I'd be seeing his stamps if he wasn't. :/

But it must be something, if no one else is encountering this.

Kabu very nearly pushed my poo poo right in, holy crap, this game isn't screwing around none.

Quick question regarding Poke jobs: When I send dual-types out does it matter whether the type in question is the primary or secondary one? Like, if it needs fire, do Charizard and Litwick function the same, for example?

Funny story, I heard Kabu was in fact the local shitpusher and I went about trying to prepare for him. I literally have no pokemon with a type advantage and no moves that can do major damage to him. That's where toxtricity came in clutch. I had him murder his ninetales while my good boy linoone finished off her friend. Gave me enough time to get my poison boi dynomaxed and ready to finish off his spicy danger noodle.

Also gently caress his challenge, they sent me in there without a chance to heal up my pokemon.
