I haven't played long enough to get to the school yet. But I made it half way and have like, 20 pokedex entires. And I gotta say. I'm glad even my rival didn't pick the duck. The duck deserves to get stuff in a locker at the campus. Love my pal Fuecoco so far though.

Pretty sure I had a toy as a kid that did exactly this. It has taken me multiple hours to reach the treasure hunt. But I finally made it. My only regret is the Pachirisu that ran up a tree when I started a battle with a trainer, and me not knowing how to catch it up there. I still haven't seen another one. My completion. My 1% spawn probably.  And so on.

Scholtz posted:Spawns are a lot easier to game out now that you can eat food that makes certain types appear Oh, right. I read something about that when I was looking at the new shiny manip stuff. I'll probably unintentionally run into another one somewhere before needing that. But that'll be nice when I eventually get down to the last few things in the dex. Dhelmise took me forever to get to show up in Sword.

I to this day have no idea what beats Fairy, or what Steel beats, aside form Ice. It's a nice feature for being lazy about generations old new types.

Today a Scyther with a tera diamond on its head wiped my entire team. (it was 5+ higher than 5 of them and spammed a boosted double hit move tbf.) I still have no idea what type that was supposed to be. But that's the first time I've lost a pokemon battle outside of online since RBY. Game is pretty good. Also I got a bunch of great stuff from the raids that I'm excited to use. But they aren't new to this region. So I'm trying to hold off, and enjoy the new guys for a while first. But the tera gimmick is really fun so far.

I've been playing since launch, and still only have 3 or 4 badges. This game is great. It reminds me of how the first season of the anime felt. Just kinda walking around finding pokemon. And eventually I happen to run into a gym, or a not-gym with a car pokemon.

I've only had the issue where the board will immediately give me a "You can no longer join" message even if I click a posting as soon as it shows up. But if I try it again, it will let me play. The matches themselves run just fine for me though. I've done tons of them, and never had any problems past getting one to let me join. I don't know if the model of Switch matters at all, but I'm basing this all on an OLED in handheld mode.

Just ran into my first few Zorua today. I appreciate the little things they put into the game like this to make the pokemon feel more alive. Now I'm wondering if Ditto is doing something similar, since I still haven't seen one when it's picture shows up on the map.

So, I love the SV and all. But as someone who reads all the dex entries as I try to fill the whole thing out every game, I'm noticing that about 80 of the 100+ that I caught so far are described as "Pizza Boi: Some dude died, there was a pizza nearby, and now this happened." It was fine for a few ghosts now and then a few gens back. But I swear half of these aren't even ghosts either. edit: I guess they really went hard on the "A literal child is writing these" joke.

Trying to rush my way through the last few gyms and Titans (team star is so boring I'm skipping them for now), so I can get far enough to do some duping before I update for the second pass of the Charizard event thing. The mountain on the way to the ice gym took me a while. But it was nice they had at least one area that felt like it was meant to be similar to the old 'dungeons'. Just a huge slog with alot of new stuff to run into on the way. I hope the next game has a way to work more of that into it, and a few less open fields between every other landmark.

FAT32 SHAMER posted:I was literally just trying to Google this to understand why I’ve seen people spend hundreds of hours to breed perfect IV Pokémon The only reason to actually breed one is just for the sense of "I made this" kind of thing. But anyone telling you it takes more than an hour to get a 5-6 IV pokemon is just grossly exaggerating. And as proven by last thread, they're usually basing their nonsense on gimick youtube videos they saw, and have never tried the process themselves. Either way, the items do the exact same thing. The only difference is the menus will say you used items.

I was going around trying to find some trainers to get the TM rewards. And I found a tera Umbreon in a cave. I like how this is the one pokemon that just turns into its single type as its special tera type. At least it already has most of my egg moves I put on Eevees ready to transfer around.

I'm sure this is probably common knowledge by now. But if you don't like your outbreak spawns for the day, you can just reopen the game and it changes all of them. I just found out when I accidentally made Frosslass extinct, and thought resetting would keep everything down to the natures like it always does for everything else.

BitBasher posted:Right, that's kind of my problem. They aren't the same so I didn't want to trade one permanently. Looks like I may pick up and shotgun through Violet. This is the only reason I haven't updated yet. I didn't know you get 2 of them until a few days ago. But all the info I kept seeing is so conflicting that I decided to just wait and clone one so I don't have to regret anything.

snohax posted:Can confirm this is correct. Only the ride Ko/Miraidon can be cloned, and it's only really useful for duping items. After learning about the glitch I tried sending a clone to my friend with Violet, but trying to select it gives an error message that your buddy can't be traded. That sucks. But I guess the ride version probably has something different in the code to prevent losing it anyway. I'll just do a touch trade for now, and then wait for shiny Miraidon in 2-3 years to keep for the living dex.

BitBasher posted:On a related note my Moriadon took a combination of 40 Ultra balls, and a few others to catch, while at 1 HP and asleep for most of the throws. I was down to one use of spore before he finally caught. I thought it might have been bugged. My Koraidon struggled to death before I could catch it on the first attempt. They have the old legendary catch rates. The annoying part is when I got 3 shakes, and then couldn't get a single shake for the next 20 throws after that. I ended up just using the master ball. I never use them in any game anyway.

Pretzel Rod Stewart posted:it’s like a critical hit but for capturing Pokémon. they added ‘em in gen 5, and it basically means that instead of rolling three or four dice to determine whether a Pokémon is captured the game rolls one die. if it’s a yes, then it’s a yes. (in-game this looks like the ball performing one confident shake instead of a handful of iffy ones.) I think critical is still 2 checks instead of the standard 4. Which get shown as the shake and the seal. Unless they've changed it between SM and now.

I completely forgot about that idea. Maybe some day I'll find a den on the map and can host that one. It's the only way I'll get a Ditto in a rando raid.

I've never seen a Ditto at any of the dens, or I would probably try it offline too. But I also don't check many of the dens anyway. But I did find another online tonight. I forget what it turned into, but one person on the team basically did 80% of the bar in one hit, so it worked out this time.  It has 4 IVs, and it's missing both attacks, but whatever. Good enough to get a decent start whenever I finally figure out what I even want my team to be this gen.

It took about 4 tries hosting the Cinderace raid. But I finally found a group that didn't bring a Koraidon to help Cinderace. Or a purple Megaman to just stand there and not do anything. Or a Taurous that would instantly die the second it spawned with no attacks going off every single time, because the net code is good. I know you're out there somewhere, 2 Slowbros that got healed by me the entire time them until 1 of them 1-shot the boss.
