My favorite Pokemon are not in Scarlet or Violet but they do at least have a lot of new interesting friends.

They also created the most insane move ever this gen Population Bomb, 30 base power Multi-Hit move that hits between 1-10 times. And there's a held item that skews it to the upper end. And the Pokemon who gets it has Technician and a version of Dragon Dance that clears entry hazards. I did some calculations on it and if you high-roll you can just delete literally anything that doesn't have an immunity or 4x resist.

Down by lakes to the Southeast. They're a stronger but slightly slower Hawlucha and get good STAB at low levels, they're kinda monstrous in game. Almost literally 'what if we swapped Hawlucha's Atk and Spd and gave it Scrappy'

Klawf is also single stage and kind of a monster early game since you can pick it up near the Titan Klawf and a ton of the early game goals are weak to rock. I also had good experiences with Maschiff, the new dark dog, and weirdly Cyclizar who shows up with no real fanfare. Right now I'm rocking Fuecoco's evo, Klawf, Nymble, Flamigo, Wooper-P and Cyclizar.

Scromit Comet posted:The thing that I remind myself of to avoid paralysis is that this game absolutely shits exp on you. The new raid system is way better and faster and always gives candies and the exp share is always on so you totally can have a 'back bench' you work from. The evo is solid. Decent stats, good typing and some really good move access.

Also if anyone is curious, this is the list of the level order of all the Badges/Titans/Team Star bases Cortondo gym (bug) Stony Cliff Titan (rock) Artazon gym (grass) Open Sky Titan (flying) Team Star Dark Crew Levincia gym (electric) Team Star Fire Crew Lurking Steel Titan (steel) Cascarrafa gym (water) Team Star Poison Crew Medali gym (normal) Montenevera gym (ghost) Quaking Earth Titan (ground) Alfornada gym (psychic) Glaseado gym (ice) Team Star Fairy Crew False Dragon Titan (dragon) Team Star Fighting Crew Its bizarre they point you at Fire Crew first when they're about 6 levels over Dark Crew.

Larryb posted:How’s the Wattrel line (assuming it evolves) then? Wattrels good, its Electric/Flying and roughly what you'd expect from that. One evo. There are 3 Storylines in the game. 8 Gyms, 5 team bases (that are basically equivalent to gyms) and 5 Titan Pokemon (basically totem fights from Sun/Moon). Each has some capstone at the end, the Gyms go the the E4. You need to finish up all 3 storylines to get everything as the Team bases lock a lot of TMs, the Titans lock your movement options and the Gyms raise the level Pokemon you catch will obey you at.

The new way to pass egg moves onto Pokemon already in your party is fantastic. Gave my Cyclizar Power Whip and it took all of 3 seconds. God I hope they keep this going forward.

They're weak to steel because fairies can't stand cold iron and they're weak to poison like Tinkerbell drinking the poison in Peter Pan. They're also strong against Dark and Fighting and resist Bug/Dark/Fighting. Also resisted by Fire/Poison/Steel.

Countblanc posted:How does this work exactly Have a Pokemon in the party with the egg move you want to pass on, does not need to be in the same egg group Have an empty move slot on the Pokemon you want to learn the egg move Have the Pokemon you want to learn the egg move holding a mirror herb (which you can buy in Cascarrafa if you don't have one) Then just start a picnic and the Pokemon instantly learns it. You can just quit out immediately. I just shoved some candy into a Stenee to evolve her, had her remember Power Whip as its a level 1 move for Tsarina and then deleted U-Turn on Cyclizar and gave it the mirror herb.

Does anyone know if time based evos go by system clock or by time in-game? In-game seems to cycle pretty quickly through day and night now, not matched to real world time.

I ended up with a team of Skeledirge, Vavaroom, Lokix, Baxcalibur, Toedscruel and Pawmot. Shoutouts to Flamigo, Maschiff, Cyclizar, Klawf, Wattrel and Frosmoth who cycled through before I finalized the team. All of them were also incredibly solid

Framboise posted:Eeeeee, my very first Tandemaus and it became a Maushold of four on my first try I think Maushold of four is the 96% chance, three is the rarer one. Also lol, it does not need Skill Link because the way Population Bomb works is it keeps attacking until one of them misses. So throw on a Wide Lens and laugh at your 300 BP STAB nuke Then in the post-game get the HA item to switch to Technician and laugh even harder at your 450 BP STAB nuke.

Eiba posted:You're right that it's a pretty intensive affair, but you realize anyone can breed their starter with a ditto and have infinite eggs so they'll be happy to give them away, right? You don't have to do all that complicated swapping to other accounts- just find someone who started with a different starter. You could in X/Y if you got lucky with Friend Safaris. I think that's it though.

Yeah, but in R/B the item duplication glitch was pretty widespread knowledge. Being able to dupe rare candies and vitamins made training a complete breeze compared to literally any other game.

Echophonic posted:Is it possible to cross-train egg moves like it was in Sw/Sh? I'd like to get sucker punch onto my starter. Yes. Have another Pokemon with Sucker Punch in your party, delete a moveslot on your starter and give your starter a Mirror Herb to hold (you can buy them for 30k in Cascarrafa at Delibird Presents if you don't have one). Then just start and exit a picnic.

I also have a big lol at the end of the Team Star storyline Where Penny reveals she's been hacking the league to give you the LP and turns herself in. Then the followup convo where she's confused that they're not punishing her but are instead incredibly insistent that she works for the League part time now. And will also be working for them upon graduation. Team Star in general rules as another take/expansion on the same themes Team Skull had.

worms butthole guy posted:Some questions about the game and I'm not trolling, these are informing my purchase: 1) Not super long? Maybe about half an hour if you power through to when everything fully opens. For about half of that you have control and can gently caress around catching stuff or whatever. 2) Relatively common? There are like 20 spread out over the map and you get drowned in healing items on the ground + there's a button you can hit that auto-heals you from the inventory now 3) No

The end of the game goes incredibly hard They kill the professor like 3 different times in the course of 10 minutes between the reveal of the original's death, the AI getting shutdown and taken over and then the AI committing suicide to destroy the time machine. Its honestly kind of impressive. Also Jesus, poor Arven. Like holy poo poo I think he takes the cake for 'most hosed up Pokemon childhood' by a mile. Not only abandoned by one parent then neglected by the other, the one in his life dies and gets replaced by a robot that fucks with him and ultimately goes on to suicide in front of him

Unlucky7 posted:Just started. I think I am digging it so far, despite issues that others have probably elaborated on better than I could. I will say that I wish throwing a pokeball to instigate a battle was a little more instantaneous. For low level route 1 Pokemon? Yeah, you've basically always been able to chuck a ball at a level 2-5 Pidgey and catch it immediately. Level and species make a huge difference to catch rate, and most early game Pokemon are towards the higher end of the scale.

Last Celebration posted:Pokémon is the biggest franchise on the planet and a relatively small amount of that revenue comes from the games, so the dev cycle is kinda beholden to fueling the Pokémon cash cow with new Pokémon every few years without much in the way of leeway. Or at least, that’s how I understand it! Just throwing more people on last minute doesn't actually help that much. You'd need to integrate the bigger team from the beginning (hire more people Gamefreak)
