something I just learned: unlike literally every other instance of online stuff, inviting people into your raid does not save the game.
What does this mean, you ask? It means if you fight a gigantamax pokemon with friends, and it breaks out of the ball, you can reset the game, and your friends still have a chance to catch it. While the host can only get it once, your friends could feasibly capture the same gmax pokemon multiple times. :eyepop:

So host a room, let friends join and once the fight starts the host leaves via closing the game and reopening it?

Thanks. Weird that it takes until the postgame for Hop to finally shut up about type advantages (though to be fair his brother does it too).

Marnie is best girl though and I feel bad for crushing her dreams so easily (and hope she makes it into the anime eventually). I also like that Team Yell wasn’t evil and was just a bunch of unruly fans, it was a nice change of pace at least.

no, the host has to stay online for the raid to play out
I mean, after the raid (I did it on the rewards screen with the candies and TRs), the host can reset without affecting the other players - my friend has the gmax pokemon on her game, but for me, the raid hasn't triggered yet.

also just FYI, I have autosave off, that might affect things

I think it's hilarious that raid mons stats are fixed so you can game the system with friends. Find a shiny or high IV pokemon and reset the game. Invite some friends, do the raid again, they catch you reset and repeat as many times until your group has enough to pass around.

Good to know if you find a high IV ditto.

on the one hand, I'm not holding out any hope that this'll be a thing for more than a couple weeks, but on the other hand, it'd be amazing if they never patched it
gamefreak usually only really patches out stuff like the lumiose save bug or exploits that third party stuff uses. (:rip: pkhex QR codes, too good for this world)

besides, it's no worse than stuff like emerald's cloning glitch

Set your text speed to slow, save right outside the Ditto Den, throw a wishing star in, and you can see the color before it starts to save the game. Reset if it's the normal color and not the rare color.

How much hell is it to get a 5-6 IV ditto though? 4 perfect IV base is great but 1/32 chance at a 5 (and I'm guessing 6 is impossible) sounds like a special kind of hell. I miss the perfect ditto a goon gave me back in Pokemon Y. :(

They'd have to patch that the game saves for the host as soon as the fight starts and that it wipes the lair as well, or something to that effect. Could they do it? Sure, but leaving it in and making use of it means you're (presumably) playing with a bunch of friends and interacting which they kinda want Pokemon players to do so :shrug:

probably a lot, but honestly, only a couple IVs matter for most pokemon

like, if you got a ditto with perfect att/spa/spe that's perfect for basically every glass cannon sweeper

I asked my Tsareena and Hatterene to play together. Tsareena wanted to race! She made it across the camp in about 3 seconds.

It took Hatterene about 2 minutes.

They like each other a lot. :kimchi:

Meanwhile, my Weezing told me she's scared of Hatterene. That's loving adorable.

Any time an episodes ends on a fight with no Giant robo ratings go down.

Net balls are better than ultra balls so going to ultra balls was a downgrade.

Unless the capture mechanism and ball strengths changed for sword and shield. Which seems unlikely.
