Larryb posted:Also how does the auto battle function work for that matter? Auto-battle works by facing a pokemon and pressing R to send your pokemon charging at them Your pokemon can take damage during them depending on what it's facing, and type effectiveness is taken into account, which leads to some utterly bizarre instances of your pokemon losing to a hoppip that only knows Splash when actually battled, but since it's Grass/Flying, it can deal with water and grass pokemon surprisingly well (conversely, you can get the jump on higher-leveled pokemon without having to battle them for some nice exp the same way) Your pokemon won't faint during AB, it'll wear itself out and come back to you Be warned, if you press R while running at a pokemon, you'll slide before sending out your pokemon, which can lead to bumping into them and triggering a regular battle, and sometimes other pokemon will run into you and start a fight Also, your pokemon will not attack Shiny pokemon during an Auto-Battle

Countblanc posted:where do you get evo stones (specifically thunder stones) Tera raids tend to have them as prizes - see if there's any Electric dens on the map Three badges unlocks them as items at Delibird stores, and there's spawns for them in Levincia by the sea, and atop a turbine in West Province's Area One

Neo_Crimson posted:I heard you can change a Pokemon's Tera-type? Is this true? You need to gather 50 Tera shards of a specific type - you'll get 50 Normal shards if you go to the Treasure Eatery (the place where the swap occurs by talking to the chef) in Medali after beating the gym leader there, and 50 Rock shards by completing the Math academy course They can also be picked up from beating Tera pokemon and on the ground in the crater

Borsche69 posted:although iirc some of that gets ruined since i think you're unable to catch something that's a higher level than you? is that true? There's no penalty for catching high-level 'mons, they just aren't likely to obey you until you get enough badges (one badge starts at level 20 and then each subsequent one is +5 levels, with 8 unlocking full control)

Vandar posted:Terastallizing is going to be fine and fun in PVP where you can play mindgames and have to try and work around it, but in the singleplayer it just kind of sucks. It doesn't give the same dopamine rush as going Mega or Dynamax or even throwing out a Z-Move. You can recharge the Tera Orb by interacting with Tera Dens and then backing out - a little sound effect and particle effect will kick in as the menu pops up You also get LP for doing so, like getting watts in SwSh

Eiba posted:I always go with new pokemon, but this time I got to use a Mankey on a technicality. It's great. Mankey is one of my favorite pokemon that I've never gotten to use because it was always a version exclusive to the wrong game. Houndstone's bone cracking cry scared the hell out of me the first time I met one in battle

The sports chanting really doesn't work when there's like...three people watching the fight At the same time, turning the music off lets you hear the various sound effects, like the sarcastic "woooow" when a Pokemon faints, or the awkward clapping from the few NPCs watching the fight, and the tinkly Tera effects on Flying-types when they flap their wings

MacheteZombie posted:The glide not working similar to Arceus's was a bummer and lol the drop off of your path if you glide for too long. It's really funny if you glide off the highest point on the map, because not only will you eventually lose all forward momentum, you'll eventually just go into a free-fall Koraidon's ability to absorb terminal velocity forces is pretty drat impressive  Say what you like about the game, but its NPC design is fantastic I want those gloves, dammit

I did like how Larry (hindsightedly) foreshadows his involvement in the E4 with his Staraptor, which you'd dismiss because he turns it pure Normal I'm curious if the DLC will play around with adding fights where the opponents will Tera into something that's better defensively/offensively instead of into their type, or at least have several potential Tera types to pull from like how Battle Tower-esque opponents can have a pool of potential teams to pull from

I didn't know using your bike was an option until my second playthrough, but it greatly speeds things up I also wasn't expecting it to make all those noises, which contributed to it taking far longer than it needed to

Kirios posted:Sounds like it'll go on your permanent record. Every trainer battle now starts with the opponent going "Oh wow, aren't you that person that only got four questions on the final right? Boy am I glad II never went to the academy if this is the education's results." And then you send out a very angry bike that punches them in the face

Neddy Seagoon posted:Even just the camera getting out of bounds shouldn't be too hard to stop, depending on how their engine works. (The very quick-and-dirty way, as they clearly have physics tools with the Olive Rolling, is to just make the camera a physical object with a collider and rigidbody so it bops into the ground/wall and stops). It sorta already is though, and I wonder if the fact it clips into the ground and walls during battles is due to it not being (as) restricted during battles so it can be used to show off cinematic angles for attacks, since there's the "rotate camera during battle" aspect, but then I've had the camera reset to the traditional angle with dramatic attack zooms after a pokemon breaks out of a poke ball

I vastly preferred SwSh's climactic boss fight from a spectacle standpoint, since the big drat heroes moment in SV was even more painfully scripted (plus you can't do stupid goofy setup builds to one-shot the final boss or set it up so Hop's sheep gets the killing blow) SV's character writing is leaps and bounds better though

I stumbled my way into the Dark base first and had an absolutely miserable time, so I thought Mela would be easier since she was on the "recommended" path Then it turns out she's even stronger 10/10 trolling trailers tricking you into the wrong path (Which is a very Dark-type thing to do; are we sure ol' Dark & Moody didn't cobble those trailers together?)

Shiny777 posted:I remember the tutorial for the first one warning me that Team Star would heal their mons if I wasn't fast enough. I kept expecting it to happen and slow/undo my progress at some point in the later bases, but it never did. They also mention that you'd have to defeat Mela's grunts, not pokemon, in order to draw her out since they were all busy keeping her calm, so I wonder if there were going to be more mechanics in the Star Bases but were scrapped for all using the same Star Barrage gimmick Also, Star Bosses sending out their car to run you over overrides any stat-ups you would've gotten at the end of the turn; used Aqua Step with a Moxie Quaquaval to take out Mela's torkoal and I didn't get the Speed or Attack boost before she sent out Revaroom Vinylshadow fucked around with this message at 23:15 on Dec 2, 2022 |
