I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Okay, I need a loving Magmar or Magbii, is there a way to reset Mirage locations in ORAS quickly? I have no idea what my options are in Friend Safari because I haven't tried it yet but I can probably get a more immediate answer here.

e: I've answered my own question and immediately gotten Magar, but I'd still like to know about the Mirage locations. I didn't get any by going online earlier.

The best part is that a Punk Rock-boosted Overdrive is better than a Technician-boosted Shock Wave anyway. Not to mention Boomburst and all that :v: I guess maybe you could abuse a 60 BP Acid Spray?? Maybe???? Or if Toxtricity becomes meta somehow and Throat Chop/Soundproof start appearing everywhere, it could be a fakeout set??????????

Shock Wave/Acid Spray/Taunt/Toxic works fine.

Punk Rock is definitely better, though.

I bought Ultra Sun since I’m on a bit of a Pokémon kick after putting 100+ hours into Shield. I named my kiddo Yennefer and plan to only dress her in the least appropriate clothing for the climate.

Got a Jolly Litten on my first try, praise Arceus. I am gonna trade a Jolly Rowet over from Moon and they’re gonna be best buddies taking down all the baddies together.

Don't forget to collect your ranked prizes for last month and do a battle for ranked prizes this month too.

I just got myself a cool 100 BP, 2 Ability Capsules, 2 Adamant Mints, and 2 Modest Mints just for doing like one battle each single and double last month.

They will 100% have an NPC to do this and there's equal certainty that said NPC will ask for payment in the form of gold bottlecaps gigamax pebbles. These items will, of course, be even more annoying to get than searching for gigas normally.

please understand.

That's because it's the first of march!
The first day of every month has the same weather across the entire wild area, and the prompt with the + shortcut is the prompt that tells you about blizzard or thunderstorms "somewhere in the wild area". Because the weather's all the same, that prompt isn't there today! :downs:

Had a big :psyduck: moment today when attempting to take down a toxitricity with friends

after the first turn, there was a big lag spike, but luckily, I didn't get dropped from the raid. ...This didn't mean that I wasn't disconnected, though. For whatever reason, despite the fact that 99% of the time the game just kicks you out... this time, the game transitioned me into an instanced version of the raid??

Though, amusingly enough, my friend's Eternatus had cosmic power as one of its' moves, and apparently the AI cannot resist using that move, it's not limited to Martin.

What do you mean instanced? I know if someone disconnects they're replaced by an AI. Maybe just everyone disconnected but you?

She means the games were split. She was an AI in the game her friends were playing, and her friends were all AIs in the game she was playing. The players started off playing in the same instance but the game was silently split into two different games in response to network issues. She knows this is what happened because she was discussing the raid with her friends and they were seeing different things happen in-game from what was happening in her game.

I'm not surprised that's something the game does. I've never seen a disconnect within a max raid after the opening cutscene starts. Plenty of disconnects up until that point. If they weren't silently replacing players with AIs/splitting raids into instances when one player disconnects, I would imagine you'd see it at least occasionally.

I beat one last Mewtwo last night. And finally got an Ability Capsule for my troubles. We had Grimmsnarl, two Marshadow and my Togekiss. It was a near thing, we had 3 faints and the Mewtwo would have destroyed us after the final attack.

For me, that option is available when docked, but it disappears when I'm undocked and playing in handheld mode. So it depends on what configuration you're playing the Switch in.

If anyone faints we immediately send them over to Prof. Oak so... I'm kinda scared of the endgame here

We're partial to Victreebel & Mr. Mime. After that I think she'd like to keep Graveller. Beyond that we're pretty open. I feel like we can't go wrong with a Charizard and some big electric badass. Help

My eyes have deceived me. My doggo is fine then, crisis averted.

Edit: it would be really dumb if it did go off of defense. But Body Press would be cool. I wish it had a better moveset in general. Not much in the way of fighting moves.
