i haven't seen it happen in this game yet but it definitely could happen in sw/sh, it's dependent on the star ranking of the battle tho and i haven't done anything past 2 stars

yeah I lost a not insignificant number of Shinies in SwSh raids (mostly in the last month lol) so rn it feels "off" having a 100% catch streak on just regular Pokeball in a way I cant explain. my brain is saying, like... is the Pokeball just a cosmetic now?

the Home app said in unambiguous terms there was a banwave for "altered data" but as best as anybody can figure out they actually meant weird url spammers and particularly egregious hacks. and I still havent heard of somebody getting banned

Have you listened to it on youtube? There's a bug where it repeats the first few bars instead of playing the whole song.

I listened to the Elite Four song online before attempting in case I got hit by the bug and I did! wooow... bugged out its kind of like a worse version of the SMT3 combat preamble but it doesnt ever get started

you cant be a Master Trainer unless you say no to drugs. I can live without being a Master Shiny Hunter too by not having this stuff memorized at a glance. relatively minor in comparison, I think.

Two Q's:

Is there a place anywhere that Annihilape be caught in the wild? I evolved one manually and I love him and want more.

Whats a good build for Dachsbun for raids? I mained mine for the story, it was great!

wizard2
Apr 4, 2022

Kyrosiris posted:

From what I saw on streams, people were using Dachsbun as a mix of support and damage, yeah. Body Press for its main offense even if it isn't SE because all the fire damage is free defense boosts, and then Helping Hand and Misty Terrain to enable the Azumarills.

Makes sense! Any suggestions as to where to put my EVs? I have a bit of cleaning up to do, but when I could,I put my stat+ feathers in Attack and Speed, but dunno if Speed is needed for raids or what.

Umbreon doesn't sweep for poo poo, if that's what you're asking.

I tried on a Shiny Umbreon once. Tried and tried. Managed to get its Special Attack to a massive 240! This reminds me, tho, I can easily just wipe its EVs now and wait for Home support. Thanks! 🎉

I raised my little Sweeper Umbreon along side a Sweeper Sudowoodo. I dont know what Sudowoodo's reputation is as a Sweeper, but he was a loooot more fun an oddball mon to mess around with.

Diet Poison posted:

Absolutely. I coulda just used, like, one little side-quest per area. Just rip off the PLA ones. I liked having to go find that girl who was constantly getting lost. That would push the player into the more obscure corners of the world. My biggest beefs with this game were that it didn't force me to go places and both times I played I felt like I missed out on areas/content that isn't as fun when you're already done the game and have a strong team, and that there's not near enough NPCs in the game that actually do anything. The human population of Paldea should have been doubled.

yeah, Im back on Crystal on 3DS for a little bit as I type this to catch a Gen 2 Azumarill to train up and punt to Home. what caught my attention bc of your post just now is the deliberate(?) design choice(??) in Gen 9 of having to almost... freeform scavenger hunt down weakling opponents in a zone for a little treat at the end vs the regular JRPG constant onward and upward. kinda a bizarre direction to go in for npc trainer battles, IF its even on purpose.

best advice I got from here

I cant speak for anybody but myself but i never once found myself in a position where I couldnt proceed since the game just bumps you back to Pokecenter vs something like THE THREAD OF PROPHECY HAS BEEN SEVERED BLAH BLAH

How often do y'all decline to catch raid mons?

Ive passively filled up 16/32 boxes with neat but mostly useless mons just playing the game since release which is exciting but A) ive just begun to genuinely EV train my 3rd pokemon so its pretty crowded for not much gain, B) I dont actually have a general idea which Tera Type combos are worth keeping or not or what i should be striving for

I will knock out a second save once I start my perfect organized LivingDex bc forget going through all these boxes. God Bless This Mess!!!!

on the topic of whats good or not, does anybody have a Tera Type calculator? I found a 2 type calculator with the option for a 3rd type on type but it doesnt allow for doubling up on typings/the Tera Type bonuses

ya you get a second dino, basically for trades, LivingDex, in the future Home, whatever, in addition to your dinocycle bro from the plot that is always bound

I noticed that my Scarlet dino from the plot was Tera Dragon but the second dino was Tera Fighting (which is more advantageous if you like Collision Course)

I actually fell on my sword and gave away the second dino to my best PokéBro irl for his long term LivingDex, no real ideal way of going about it
