:stare: is there another way to get BP

yeah in bank you just rack up either miles or bp by having dudes in there and i never took any so i have 1000+ bp waiting. hoping it doesnt wipe it all out when they update it

pay attention to the poke pelago stuff, specifically the berry tree.

the rainbow berries will make your pokes affection shoot up to 2/3 hearts instantly, which gives them a big permanent XP boost. more affection also gives them a chance to survive fatal hits, auto-cure status ailments in battle and increased crit chance

yeah it takes like 3 rainbow beans to max out affection which is sick. you can just max it out as soon as you get a poke. they love them drat beans

Evil Eagle posted:

Chains use the SOS mechanic. The higher you go the better IVs get and you get a chance at hidden abilities. The event Snorlax is my go to chaining Pokémon because he learns hold back and can be tutored recycle so he can have infinite pp with 1 leppa berry. Bring something that can check abilities if you want a hidden one. I use an exeggcute with worry seed.

If you want a certain nature your synchronize user needs to be able to battle, leaving them ko'd in slot 1 doesn't work. They need to be in battle when the Pokémon you want to catch is called in. So get a high chain with Snorlax then swap into a Kadabra once you're ready to catch.

Having and using Ditto to beat the e4 would be badass

ditto is one of my favorite pokemon and ive done this multiple times. i traded my starter at the beginning of heartgold to my copy of platinum and used ditto as my starter instead. imposter ditto being easily obtainable has only made this easier and better to do. i love ditto

someones been digging into how the gen 1 to 7 transfers work and theyre funny if your an idiot nerd

quote:

-IVs: Random.
-EVs: Zero.
-Natures: EXP % 25.
-Abilities: Hidden.
-Gender: Random.

Pokebank's IV calculation algorithm: Completely Random, with three perfects, five if Mew.

Pokebank uses DVs to calculate shininess (incorrectly, G1->G2 shininess uses the ATK DV whereas G1->G7 shininess uses the DEF DV) and then completely disregards them for all else.

Pokebank seems to use a Yellow-based move whitelist, not Red/Blue-based. E.g., Mewtwo with payday (Red/Blue TM) won't pass.
