I've actually got a Level 100 Kingambit, but he's Supreme Overlord. Worth using an Ability Capsule on him, or should I train up a second?

Ability Capsules are cheap and plentiful, I'd just pull the trigger.

Does scarlet/violet just not have an endgame? Was horrified to discover that the all-star school tournament in the post-game stays at a static level forever

Does the dlc help with that? I need a Pokémon sword-style Battle Tower or something

It seems very likely to be in DLC part 2, but for now all you've got is Area Zero.

Managed to snag myself a shiny Halloween tree tonight. I even got so lucky for it to have the crafty mark too. I’ve currently named him Wolf Willow, but I may change it to Samhain.

Curious if Nemona and the others will be involved in the plot this time since Indigo Disk apparently takes place after the main story (if so, I kind of want her to meet the Teal Mask siblings)

Huh, I didn't get Teal Mask because it didn't appeal to me much but it would be kinda lame that I had to get it to get Indigo Disk.

last time the stories were separate from one another but this time Indigo Disk is a continuation of the story started in Teal Mask, so they have to come together. (you can burn through the Teal Mask plot stuff in like four hours or less if you’ve already beaten the game, so it’s not a huge deal.)

the genies all got Jet Balls hurled at them from smoke-bomb-cover in my Legends Arceus run.
:colbert:
Everything else i kept from that game was in a pokeball or heavy ball, but those genies are air spirits so... i aint got the time to megacreep up behind that terrible terrapin lady in the mudflats all day just to complete my dex.... so let's just use our finest sniper-ball from max range! :widowsnypa:

e: the real answer is she requires both stealth spray AND smoke bombs if you want to get close. She is the final dex entry before Arceus and the only open-world-spawned encounter that requires such

Oooh, I will get crafting and try those things. Even smoke cover hasn’t been helping me a whole lot, but maybe I just need a whole lot more smoke bombs.

- the swamp area has a lot of tiny little wisps of grass that count as cover if you crouch while standing in the same place. It is ridiculous because they are so tiny, but if you find one and crouch on it, she can't see you while she is un-alert
- you can engage her in battle by throwing one of your pokemon at her (you can do this with all the genies but I point this out because I didn't know it until someone pointed it out to me when I was trying to catch her)

Enamorous has a lower catch rate than the others in Legends I think - the best way to catch her is to engage her in battle, rather than try to catch her outside of battle

Reminder that Gigaton Balls always have their 2.75x modifier active in battle, which gives them a better rate than Ultra Balls

I finally managed to get her. I was trying to engage her in battle the whole time, but like the other genies, she requires her shield to be broken 3 times before you can start a battle. It was just so hard to break that shield and I swear I had to hit her 6 or 7 times before I was able to start a battle.

I managed to catch all but one of the genies in a single ultra ball. Thunderus needed 2 ultra balls.

There's plenty of poke ball goodies on Etsy, from knitted, to 3D-printed, to Poke-themed

I really wish the raids had a way to party up with specific pubbies at the end. I had one who was running a great support Milotic while I was trying my damnedest with Azumarril. The other two on our team had their ride-ons and were 0 help.

Honestly, I keep trying to think of ways to make the raids not terrible, but... I think it's just inherently a bad idea to make cool stuff reliant on a team of two grumpy 30-something grognards and two excited preteens who just love Charizard. I think the idea of raid bosses itself is cool, but let me control a team of 3 or 4 of my own pokemon, or at the very least pick my AI supports, and balance around that. Without completely overhauling the system and introducing something like Elo, I'm not sure the pubbie experience can be unfucked.

Pick 4 Pokemon of your choice for Raids and have manual control over one of them. Done.

Deeters
Aug 21, 2007


Yeah, I wouldn't mind being able to pick the AI teammates. Swap them out as a real player joins in. Having the option to stick with a random group has been around since early Xbox live, so I didn't think it would be hard to implement for Pokemon.

I even kinda like carrying pubbies if it means the 10 year old who loves Charizard gets another cool pokemon.

It’s especially dumb since the generation that introduced raids also introduced trainer cards that you can collect from NPCs that “supposedly” let you call them when you need them. But then you can’t actually call these NPCs to help you out in a certain raid. Like, “Hey Pierce, come help me in this raid against a ghost Pokémon.”

I would love to be able to call my besties, Arven, Penny and Nemona to join me in raids since I know what Pokémon they have.
