Heya, almost at the end in ScaVio, been avoiding the thread because of spoilers but besides legendaries and Paradox mons I think I've seen all the new ones. It's been a blast, if they fixed the performance absolutely the best Pokemon game yet. Now I have to build a Team for the E4 and others and man, it's hard to choose from only the new mons. I wanna bring Skelledirge, Clodsire and Brexcalibur for sure. I love Lokix but Bug/Dark has some serious overlap with Skelledirge, and I know I need a Fighting type, but Annihilape overlaps, Pawmot is a no and WaterTauros haven't found one in the wild yet. Maybe one of the Treasure Legendaries is a good option...?

1st Stage Midboss posted:One thing worth keeping in mind is that these games do let you access your boxes between Elite Four fights, so if you have a bigger team of favourites than you can use at one time, the option's there. Only the ones in your party at the end get the ribbon for it, though. Why did you tell me that, now I gotta level 40 pokemon to early 60s, thanks a lot /s /s I'd still like to have a balanced team for any non typed challenges anyways. Stux posted:use the power of terasteralising to cover elemental gaps Raids and random teras have been dusty old Pokemon so Teraing would be more to remove secondary typings which tbf can cover defensive gaps. Thinking about adding Kilowattrel, Paldean Water Tauros and Kingambit as my final 3, kinda iffy to only have 1 Ground and Psychic resists but at least they're inmunities.

HopperUK posted:Kilowattrel kicks rear end. I've been using one with a Dragon tera the whole time just because it was the first Wattrel I got in the game. According to the size-judging lady it's absolutely tiny. I've liked them from what I've used mine, but the lack of anything to hit Ground types besides Hurricane (which is iffy with no rain) bothers me. There's not many Grass types though, only Toadscruel, Arboliv and Scovillein (all who either copy type or is not very llamative in the case of Arboliv) Also went catch a Tauros and spent 10 minutes trying to find the Water breed and getting pingponged between them 10/10 would cause a protest.

Haha, very funny game. Not only did I not realize the E4 are the types of the Titans since they needed specialists of each type, not only did I get bamboozled by Larry despite having been spoiled, but also turns out the Super Champion is not a Rock type specialist!? I still pushed through with the team, but man, I'm seeing the problems with Clodsire now. Also the fact tgat this gen is filled with lots of new Fire and Ghost types but barely any grass types kicked me for my starter choice.

Finally finished the game. Absolutely the best story in a while since BW but I can see someone who has no feelings for the main trio would think otherwise. Now I have the gym rematches. At what level are they? Thinking of using endgame Chanseys to build tailored teams again, and also getting the chance to use Paradox mons. Two more questions. Is there someone to sell treasures or can you just sell them at the shop? And what's the best way to farm money to make your friends comp viable from the getgo?

Also outbreaks, found a bunch of them before the Psychic Gym. I just found out 6 and 7 star raids don't appear until you beat a school tournament so drat I gotta level my mons fast of I wanna try out with different teams each if I don't wanna miss the Charizard. I find it also funny how money went from being useless to letting you ingame P2W, enough cash and you can turn any mon into competitive, besides HA and reducing EVs because the drat berries are random in the action. Quick question, are there any specific areas good for EV training with power Items, and is Chansey Murder still the best way to level to 100? Since I've seen the best mon for the Charizard raid is Azumarrill and also Sylveon is good for money grinding at the tournament...

Also I though 4* and up raids had diferent icons in the map, but I see none right now? Am I doomed to have only 3* raids until the day passes or I do some of them?

MacheteZombie posted:4-5* don't, 6* and event raids do Oooh, they were probably event raids then. I knew something weird was going on when they were all Florges and Mimikyus. Also for EV berries, the three best sources are apparently the Marinada auctions if they have them, the Alfornada minigame which gives multiple of them and sparkling points on East Province Areas 1 and 2 (each has 3 types of them)

Man, it's kinda wild that now, as long has the correct ability since that's the hardest thing to change, you can pretty much turn any Pokemon into competitive viable just by paying 640k money (520k for vitamins, 100k for 5 bottlecaps, 20k for mint) and getting them to 50. Since GF refuses to change how IVs work this is the next best thing. Instead of trashing our old partners and doing 3h of eugenic crimes, we can just load them full of

I'm really wondering if raids are really the ideal path to levelling right now. To 100, sure, but they only give like 1 XL and 5 L candies which are a few levels on 1 mon but between the glitchiness of raids and trying to find them and complete them it feels it'd be better for me to farm Chanseys at endgame using the Normal Encounter which makes them spawn a lot.

junan_paalla posted:Doing random raid roulette is chill, you don't need to run around the map, it has way less problems connecting to a room than when you pick one from the catalog, and you get a ton of treasure, ability patches, mints and HMs on top of the XP candies. But chansey genocide is still pretty good if you have multiple mons to level up at once. Well, I wanted to try out Paradox/More new mons on the rematches so yeah I need to level a lot of mons. But in just 30 min I got enough mons for 2 gyms. Just a bit more to clear the rematches, try out a new team for my first Tournament and then level ASAP a Tera Fairy Azumarril/Flutter Mane for the Charizard raid before it leaves. Granted with the lv 100 requirement I'm gonna need to do a lot of raids...

The game already insulted my country's food choices anyway. Why are all sausages in sausage form when we, with the exception of blood and creole kinds, we eat them sliced in sandwiches? Where are the squid, octopus, omelette and breaded chicken leftovers sandwiches? Gamefreak must answer for this.

Finally unlocked 6* raids. And cleared my first one because it was Clodsire and it turns out it can't do much to Corviknight even if 50 levels lower  I also finally finished levelling a Flutter Mane for the Charizard raid next wekk. I guess I should get a few more good raid mons to 100 and then I'll focus on finishing the dex for the Shiny charm before doing any other thing. I do hope I can get a Patch for my starter so I can breed them...

Is Annhilape a good option as well? Lots of mons have debuffs you can Defiant, Ghost/Fighting is a good typing, it's bulky and Rage Fist will eventually become 300 BP which is nuts. Man I really wish you could change item when selecting a mon so you could put on like Cover Cloak or Pure Amulet or Safety Goggles based on the raid you searched for...

Got a HA Sylveon from a 6* raid  . Now I just need to EV train it and I can farm money of the academy tournament since I had just enough candies to level it to 100.The same raid gave me an Ability Patch so I can start breeding HA Fuecocos too, so I guess I should also start going for the Shiny Charm as well.

From what I've checked out it's going with a LV 100 mon with amulet coin solo with Amulet Coin(to prevent the switch message) and most recommend Sylveon/Flutter Mane since I guess Fairy is the least resisted?

Sylveon is also great for mindless academy farming, with maxed out Sp. Att and enoguh Speed EVs to outspeed Meowscarada it one shots everything with Hyper Voice which has a fast animation to boot. That said I'm not sure if it OHKOs Amoongus and Swalot which would be the two biggest problems since one has Spore and the other has Toxic/Protect.

Honestly the world surprised me. Even after finishing the game I still find nooks and crannies I didn't notice the first time around. All I say it's missing is a bit more unique rewards? TMs end up feeling like you've got then twenty times after a while. Maybe some evolved but on level Pokemon, or rarer ones in fixed spots. By the way, I've noticed something about auctions. If you make an initial bid NPCs will start raking up the price but if you pass on the first bid they will just do 500 increases? Or so it felt to me, the weak point is if you pass when a NPC gives up you lose.

Wile E. Toyota posted:Whoever told me to eat a steel sandwich to find leader Bisharps, that was a pro tip, thanks. I didn't use sandwiches during my playthrough because there was no need but they are pretty great for the more grindy postgame stuff. The sandwich menu sucks though; no way to search by effects, right? And how do you know what making a custom sandwich is going to give you? Trial and error? Yeah, ingridients have different tastes, powers and types assigned to them all which factor into the power of the sandwich. So more ingridients==better effects. But ouside of using Herba Mystica (farmed from 5* raids and up) you'd need multiplayer for that. People have pretty much settled on 2 ingredients I can't remember + 3 of the type you want + 2 HM, which gives you Sparkling (more Shinies), Enounter and Title Lv3 for a single type.

Honestly even if a lot of them are shared they put a lot of love on Pokemon behaviours. Like how Ditto and Zorua are recognizable even disguised because they will get them wrong such as a docile Tauros or a Pineco existing. My favourite is still Cetoodle walking up to you and following, even more when it's a group of them. So adorable

Almost done with the dex! All I have left now are the Scarlet exclusives (will get through trade codes, although I have to wait for a trusted friend for Koraidon), the Ruinbringers and Goodra because it stopped raining which is BS, in northern Spain it's always raining, so innacurate. Funniest thing however was going into raids for EXP candies for some evos and finding a Scizor raid, the only problematic mon left to catch lmao.

Also, as a note, is it me or are the Lake+Flower biomes extremely hosed? Even with Encounter sandwiches Flabebé took ages to find and I did not find a single wild Hattrem near any lakes. And the only place the Flower biome works is the North Province near the Fairy Star Base.

I managed to catch a Goodra on raid and evolve Hydregion, and after catching the TunakTunak Quarted and the rear end in a top hat Dragon I only need to tradeback a Koraidon for the shiny charm. Given I've also found all flying points and TM recipes (somehow I missed Take Down till now lol) I'm pretty much done. All I have left is grinding more raid mons and doing special raids, cause hilariously despite all the advancements the "520k+ entry fee or 30 min of beating mons in the laggy OW" is still way too much of a fee for me for making a competitive team.

Last Celebration posted:So just to make sure, for the guys whose evo is the “walk 1000 steps in Lets Go mode” is that all at once? Or cumulative? I’d assume cumulative but it’s already kind of a bad evo method to begin with since my Pawmo is the fastest member of the squad and is still struggling to keep up when I’m on foot. All in one session of letting it out, but they can stop moving. The easiest way is to just run up and down the academy entrance stairs 4 times and Rare Candy them, as long as you don't go so fast they reenter the ball you should be good.
