Also, why do some of my Pokémon have their moves blanked out while others don't? These guys lost all of their moves:

Zangoose with Swords Dance and Last Resort.
Ursaring with Facade, Brick Break, Protect, and Faint Attack.
Houndoom with Dark Pulse, Flamethrower, Sunny Day, and Solarbeam.

Home tends to not display moves/abilities/stats for monsters that aren't usable in certain games. For example, all the listed monsters aren't usable in Sword and Shield, and for some reason that's the default setting when you're just moving stuff within Home itself.

They still have those specific attacks when in BDSP. However I assume that once SV opens up in bank, they'll be reverted to what the Pokemon should have at that level in the wild.

I haven’t linked to Pokemon Go, but I did purchase the DLC… Kinda wondering if I just shouldn’t play at all until a patch comes out?

Someone in the comments does note that the fact one guy's specifically only lost shinies, and a few other examples of how it works and that it's only hit a conspicuously small part of the community (nobody here has reported this, for example) suggests this might just be corrupting hacked saves.

I've been trying to trade starters and exclusives in Sword/Shield to complete my dex but I can't seem to find anyone who uses the link trades. I use the established 4-digit link codes, duplicated. Is the game just dead or are there any tricks for getting it to work? I am connected to the internet.

You get them in Pokémon Go and can add them to ScarVio. When you do they temporarily change all Vivillon in the game to match the postcard's location.

I'm not sure if the game itself is dead but I'd expect those dex-completion link trades became obsolete once Home came along and reintroduced the GTS. That'd be the place to go (if you've got a subscription).

Literally never heard of this and have bought the DLC same as you. Played the game a little bit today and didn't notice anything was wrong but I could check again.

edit: Does the save corrupt immediately after purchasing the DLC or is it a lingering possible issue? I spent some time breeding up premier balls zoruas after I got it and didn't notice any problems.

Thanks, that's a solid hint. Even without trying the GTS I have already gotten the other starters just from linking the game. Could have saved myself some time there :D

if you’re looking for guys in Sword and Shield some of us can probably help too; I use my Switch every night to do Animal Crossing dailies (lol) and check my Porto Marinada auctions and it would be trivial to catch or hatch something if anyone needed it

PSA: the event Hisuian Zoroark knows Happy Hour, a move that doubles your earning. This stacks with Amulet Coin, so you can get about 50k from each battle in the Academy Tournament. I have found that a fully-optimized build's Shadow Ball one shots just about everything, and Tera Blast is actually a surprisingly good normal-type move for those few normals (Sawsbuck, Oranguru) and darks (Mabosstiff) in the tourney. If scared, tera Fairy. That is all.

I sort of like how each of the shiny forms for Tatsugiri now resemble different kinds of sushi. Curly form goes from a prawn to a something dipped in soy sauce, Droopy goes from being tuna to being squid, and Stretchy goes from being egg to being sashimi.

They also have Lechonk keychains.

You're welcome! Let me know what you think.

My current favourite of the Pokemonalikes is Coromon. I really like the existence of a 1/35 chance 'potent' mon that has a different colour scheme. Though I don't really love the idea of colour being tied to stats; I kinda prefer how Pokemon does it these days, when shininess does not denote effectiveness, but you can make any given Pokemon battle-worthy if you want.

Only tried Nexomon briefly and couldn't work out how to nickname my mons which is a dealbreaker, though I think they do have that now and I probably just missed it.

Temtem doesn't appeal at all.

Has anyone been playing Emerald Rogue? i just started this last week and it's been fun, though I think i had some massive beginner's luck because I won my first run and haven't come close since. my most recent failure was on Gym 4, where a Tough Trainer the spot before took out my one steel type and then I bumped into Sabrina with a team half-weak to Psychic and the others just not too great in general (even the Kyurem i caught just beforehand lol)

I've played a few runs. Seems to be very difficult. Overall I enjoy it less than the roguelike feel of doing a Nuzlocke.

I was about to come in here and complain that Iron Leaves was kicking my rear end. 4 tries and it kept murdering my support Grimmsnarl and everyone else.

Then I have a round where someone with a Chi Yu spends 2 turns setting up, and kills it with one hit. Thank you, random pubby

it's definitely difficult though the game gives you ample meta-progression if you like that sort of thing, and you can adjust the difficulty to Easy if you want something a bit easier.

for me its less the difficulty (though i do enjoy that part) and more the pace. i love that a full run takes like 3-4 hours instead of a nuzlocke which obviously is just playing a full rear end RPG. if anything i think Emerald Rogue could have a bit of fat trimmed from the runs still, some of the longer routes are a pretty big pain to navigate.
