pro-tip for people wanting to get all of the G-max mons, see if you library has copies of Lets Go to check out. I got my Pikachu by checking it out, creating a save file, then returning it

I can't say I've seen games at my library. Edutainment pc games maybe in the late 90s, but sure as hell never console games.

I have a 2 6IV Males if you want, I think one is Adament and one is Jolly. I also have a Female with maybe 4IV’s. I’ll check back here later since I don’t have access to my Switch right now

The adamant would be great. I'm doing moving stuff atm so the waits fine. I got an eiscue through wondertrade so some babies from thats probably the rarest thing I can give you back.

Is there a Sword/Shield thread or is this it?

Either way fun game. It's nice to be back since Diamond.

Wingull is my new best pal, but I hate Pelipper, he looks like a doofus. I figure Everstones keep the guy from evolving, but is there any mechanic that will allow them to not evolve and yet earn the potential benefits? Or am I just clippings the wings off of my Wingull?

Not a fan of Pelipper.

You could give an eviolite which would raise wingulls defenses but you'd have to cancel the evolution manually each level. That's it really

Okay I have a real dumb interface question in Shield. How do you actually sort Pokémon in the box? The X button has a "sort Pokemon" option but that just lets you manually arrange them but not sort them by level or type.

Also how do battle groups work? Can't seem to just swap my party, and it looks like they can only be in one group?

You can only sort them manually, there is no auto-sort of any kind

Okay I've got a fish with FISH BUTTON and choice scarf, am I going overboard by making a baton pass ninjask to give him speed and extra attack?

I don't ever see myself doing PVP I just wanna hit masterball. If doubles is separate I figure I'll train up a Peliper for fish button boost

Eidt - also what's so great about Whimsicott that I see it all the time in doubles now
If you can baton pass, you should baton pass, because baton pass is always good as hell

also, whimsicott is cute + has access to Prankster and tailwind, why NOT use one?

If you're just doing BT do not baton pass. It takes too much time already to get through the tower to get BP adding in pointless turns for set up and Passing is just gonna make it longer. Just push the fish button, swap to Dragopult if they die, maybe throw in a wall that can toxic to finish off anything left/swap to to get rid of your Choice Scarf Choice.

If anyone in the U.S. is looking to order something from the Pokemon Center website, I have one free shipping code available that I guess I'll just post here, since I haven't had any more takers elsewhere. They gave me a bunch of codes as an apology for messing up an order last year, way more than I can use myself.

This code can ONLY be used on the U.S. site and expires at 12:01 A.M. Eastern Time on December 31, 2019 so grab it while you can! If you do, please post here to let me know that you used it. Also keep in mind that if your order is over $50 you wouldn't need this since you'd already get free shipping on it.

The code is:

You could always roll the dice with surprise trades. I got all three starters that way. They’re pretty common thanks to the breeders rejecting anything not perfect.
