As you finish off your pokedex recommendations get less helpful. It has to be a pokemon you've seen AND the conditions have to be right for it to appear. So if you are just missing a bunch of rare weather pokemon they won't show up unless their weather has also spawned. Granted it could just be not showing anything to be dumb, but that was my experience as I got up to like 350 pokemon caught.

On the other hand this means it tells you when a certain Pokemon is currently available due to the weather.

On refreshing raids, something I've noticed is that occasionally after completing other people's raids online, it'll force my own raids to start despawning, or refresh entirely if it despawns the last one. I'd have to test it further to see if there are any further conditions; my friend suspects that it despawns lower-star and common spawns first, but I don't know where wishing piece and event g-max spawns rank on that. Still, it's been helpful in clearing out garbage quick if my friends and I are throwing raids at each other.

I love how the main hook this generation, dynamaxing, is getting suspect banned to Ubers right away.

Eh I don't think it'll be a big deal, it's a hook for non comp players like me but I can absolutely understand why people interested in most kinds of PvP wouldn't want anything to do with it Probably it will end up having a place in the meta but one we don't know yet. Does GF usually do a bug and streamlining pass after release, or is what we've got at release what we're gonna get? I'd really love for raid matching to get a pass, it's such a great thing to spend an evening doing while listening to podcasts or audiobooks but it is really frustrating at times

So I have yet to connect to a single person with any of the online features. As far as I can tell, my Switch is just looking for any local players with whom to connect, as I don’t have a Nintendo Online subscription. Is any and all online communication locked behind a paywall, or can I still train and raid with friends?

Framboise posted:Yeah I realized there are some that are still catchable that I've already sought out. Drampa is a loving insult to completing this. 2% appearance in one place during one type of weather. What is this, Sinnoh? It'll still give you recommendations in the wild area based on weather, it also won't give you sub 5% appearance rates elsewhere in the world.

Counterpoint to Dynamaxing being not a big competetive strategy: giving a weak pokemon a ton more health so they can get off a Shell Smash or Quiver Dance safely can be a really big deal and lead to wild sweeps

They've been consistent about that since gen 3. welp maybe they'll have it sorted out for Pokemon Gun, it seems sensible to put some effort into it since it's a new platform and everything going forward is going to be built off the base they've developed in this game buuuuuut

I'll be done with the dex in the next couple of days, and then I'm waiting on Home to make it easier to move stuff around to try some Monotype runs.

I admit that I think Dynamax getting banned right away is really stupid. The game isn't even a month old so like, there's been absolutely no time to even give it a chance. I'm also colored by the few pvp videos I watched all the comp high rank players are saying "Nah it's not as bad as people are making it out to be." and have been showing counter play and how it can be a total waste easily. E: And just to be clear I'm not a comp guy, I'm casual and I just like watching it so my opinion really doesn't go that far.

I think what's gonna happen is that it's going to be allowed in the lower tiers and then once it turns out it isn't some gamebreaking thing but rather just another strategy it'll get incorporated officially somehow

Watching the COALTRAINBABY in Dynamax form getting one-shot by Excadrill leads me to believe that there are going to be some hard counters to some of the Dynamax main contenders. Immediately banning it to ubers seems a little excessive and short sighted.

I did some wonder trading last night and got a Chinese Dreepy with Adamant Nature, absolute perfect IVs, and Pokerus. ... am I safe to use this competitively? Saves me time breeding my own, but I have a nagging feeling it could have been hacked.

ThisIsACoolGuy posted:Fully admit I misread and thought it was already banned, still think it's kinda dumb though and feels like 'new thing scary' The analysis that's going on in the suspect testing thread is very insightful and even playing around myself (I'm nowhere near the required rating to vote, but) it's pretty obvious that it doesn't have a place in a competitive 6v6 singles environment. Which is fine, not everything is 6v6 singles, and that's why you do tests and have different tiers. I personally disagree with the idea of total banishment to Ubers - I think making "Power Spot OU" where it plays off the in-game lore that you need a ~special place~ to dynamax/gigantimax is smarter - but man it's oppressive. There's an argument to be made of "well don't let these mons dynamax" but I heavily agree with our own OFS's reasoning in the suspect testing thread: quote:How many times do we lop off the top of the metagame? Is Dynamax so worth preserving even though it'd just make the rest of SWSH OU a treadmill of suspects? Would TDK eventually just write "learns Bounce" as the OP? Dracovish's ability to OHKO about anything with Fishious Rend is really gross, but we'd only get around to examining it in 2025 when Diggersby finally gets its loving due, because the Airstream/Knuckle/Knuckle fun time is very common and fundamental to the exploitation of Dynamax.
