Oh poo poo I didn’t realize Strong Jaw boosted Fishious Rend. I need to make another Dracovish with that

He gives you something every time you do the Champion’s cup. Also postgame go talk to him outside Motostoke’s gym.

Oh, okay. I have't even caught Zacian yet. I should get on that, but the Wild Area is too much fun. :sweatdrop:

Please don't trash talk Togepi. It may not always attack, but it seems to never die and heals really well. Instead, replace the Togepi with Salazzle, an actual piece of trash who dies to the wind blowing too hard.

What the gently caress is even the point of Wobuffet. Like, it's one thing when the other Pokemon just aren't effective with their typing or attack, but Wobuffet is the worst one because all he does is use counter. And he never ever ever actually counters anything. I can at least respect Clefairy trying to take all the aggro from me instead of attacking. Wobuffet is doing NOTHING

I hate that loving Wobuffet.

The npc raid trainers exist only to make me suffer.

I've done raids all evening thinking to grab the G-Lax but I've only seen two and they've both escaped. Doesn't seem worth it to chase these, even the ones that are meant to be generally available.

I have a spare G-Max Snorlax I can trade you if you're interested. I'd prefer a Dracovich, Aromatisse, or Goomy if you've got it but I'll take whatever

Did this new Snorlax event screw up the spawn locations for raid battles? I finally got around to going giant ditto hunting, but now they're now showing up in what I thought was the ditto hole, and a bunch of not normal pokemon are showing up in there.

They can replace other encounters yes, but no other spawns have changed. What pokemon are you seeing in the Ditto hole that aren't supposed to be there?

I thought that hole only generated normal type pokemon, and I only saw normals when I was there a few days ago feeding wishing stones into it. But now I've seen several gigantimax Centiscorches, some kinda moth, and a few Corviknights there, along with all the Snorlaxes.

I was really enjoying this game up until about the 5th badge. Woah boy it's kind of startling how little effort was put into exploration or the world. Every time I pick up a TM or elemental stone, I get flashbacks to Gold/Silver, where at least they wrote a two line NPC that gave them to you. Or put some effort into making them jive with the environment you found them in.

Just got surf and am floored that every area you unlock with it is just empty space with a big mon and a TM rinse and repeat. No new floors, quirky characters, or interesting trainer battles. Might be the worst in terms of satisfying meandering.

The safari zone is keeping me playing, but woof, hope that now that most of the 3d models are done they actually start putting more resources back into those things. It makes the whole thing feel so lifeless, and that's a shame given how wonderful the catching / gameplay mechanics are.

Been a productive night. Caught a 5-star Gardevoir, another longtime favorite. Harassed the Skill Digger dude until he gave me the harder to find fossils, then went and made each of the abominations and kept making Dracovishes until I got an Adamant Strong Jaw one. I'll raise it later. I also caught a 5-star Gigantamax Snorlax, so that's another one down. I'm getting frustrated trying to get a Max Raid Mimikyu to show up though. :smith:

All I have on my map right now to do are loving Centiskorches and I'm honestly really tired of fighting them, so I'll leave that for tomorrow.

also I forgot to post this

I think #1 on my wishlist is the ability to leave raids now. I'm trying to get candy to level up this Togekiss and no one's joining my raids and the NPCs are consistently sabotaging it. Why yes, two water pokémon and a ground pokémon is a great idea to bring to a grass fight.

The raids themselves have been infuriating too, like this Vileplume that just heals to full every turn with strength sap, giga drain and grassy terrain :negative:
