Something weird happened because I can no longer X -> + to access the world map in sword/shield. The buttons themselves are working fine. Am I going crazy?

I think what has happened is the Wild Area weather news box wasnt showing up in the menu, and the Press + to Fly is tied to that box. I'm not sure why that box didnt show up, but my watch updated today and I havent had any problems since.

The good news is every month or so there's a set of Gmax with boosted spawn rates and actual sane catch rates. They've been rotating through them so there's only a matter of time before any you don't have get rotated in.

I agree it's utter bullshit though. Def hop into the Discord and profit from us abusing the system! It's great fun.

OK. I already went to "online competition" yesterday and it told me "the competition is over" and unlocked my battle team, but I guess I needed to wait a bit and go in a second time.

I’ve been having success with leading Torkoal Venusaur if I know the other team has no easy weather stuff

People assume you’re gonna Dmax venusaur and do everything in their power to kill it

Then trick roomer comes out sets up trick room for Torkoal and the Snorlax in the back to clean up :getin:

Does Home's room trade have a minimum number of users? Every time I've tried to use it with two people, it just kicks us out.

I don't think GTS is on a cool down. My friend and I, who live too far apart to friend trade, used the GTS to trade some legendaries. (Player A puts up a crappy Pokemon like Seel and demands a legendary for it. Player B accepts. Player B puts up the same Seel and demands the other legendary for it, Player A accepts)

My friend was able to see and accept the listing within seconds of me posting it.

I did have to close and reopen the app to see the completed trade, though.

The problem with GTS has always been that there's so much poo poo to sort through that it takes forever to find good trades. When you list a good trade, it's one in a sea of millions of "give me a legendary for this bidoof" trash listings.

So, Pikalytics updated and yeah. The Champ is back with vengeance. However, he is still getting edged out by Togekiss. Not really sure what to make of that. Also, Venasaur and Milotic skyrocketed in usage with Milotic utilizing Coil+Hypnosis.

Wow, that's awesome. Togekiss has been right up there as one of my favorites since I first laid eyes upon its glorious form.

I just picked up shield a couple days ago after not having played pokemon since shortly after sun and moon first launched, so I'm way outta the loop hahah. I just got to the first gym and uh... wow they really just let you put 420 on the back of your shirt, huh? This game owns.

I'm what the kids call: a big nerd
the worst part is there's no longer a point to it

previously, GTS trades like that were understandable, it was how you traded items between games - put a trashmon up for a very specific rare type of pokemon, so you can trade yourself for it

but with it being run through home, the only reason for trades like that is being a dumbass and/or troll

milotic was attainable before, why's it skyrocketed now? neither of those moves are transfer-exclusive.

I finally bred a shiny noibat. I think I'm gonna make a team with him, purrserker, arctozolt, and eldegross so far cause why not. Don't know who else I'll add but I just wanna make a weird rear end team.

Currently on my other team my strategy is to send out my barreskuda and clefable. Dynamax while fable follows me and try to just murder as many of my opponents Pokemon with my fish cannon as quickly as possible.

If I had to guess, its a counter to the champ. Generally speaking as well, her hidden ability is super useful in current meta.
