I'm getting rocked by ground and rock types and need a strong water type. Who's good?

The dolphin seems pretty good.

or the duck starter.

I chose the fire starter.

Where is the dolphin, and does it evolve?

the more i play the more I wonder how exactly the game ended up in this sorry ass state

Prob spent half their time just trying to get the online stuff to work and then didn't have time to finish the actual game. Should've delayed it till next year or something at this point, but you know, holiday sales and all that.

@PerseusRad okay I've got everything now including the spoiler mon

I'm searching on 1155 5555

It' a violet exclusive and I don't know it's value but I'd trade an ability capsule for it.

It's basically just a better Gallade.

@Tyranthraxus The @ you edited in didn't ping me, I'll be there

Not sure what's happening.

Not sure either, let's try it again

Am I supposed to wait on the big box or not?

It says I'm waiting for the other person's decision

Ah there we go

Looks like this thing is really touchy about timing

lol I like how we had the same type of ball for the last one. Thanks much.

I like to save master balls for roaming type legendaries. Stuff that stays put that I can definitively try to catch over and over again I'm not concerned about splurging 30-40 PokeBalls on them.

Fun fact, I once caught a 100% HP Rayquaza after I'd been resetting for an hour because it kept destroying my team I said "fuck it" I used hypnosis and then threw a regular PokeBall and caught it in like 30 seconds total and was dumbfounded.

Yeah, I saved my Master Ball as well, even though there's no roaming in this game iirc. I guess if a shiny shows up maybe I'll use it then. Or just keep it.

Was totally unprepared for the fight outside the northmost star base. Only barely won. Bright side, my Mareanie evolved! Woot!

Can anyone help me evolve my scyther? Also looking for a larvitar too

In a lot of game, I try my best to catch Legendaries in Premiere balls. I think in X, I catch Mewtwo in one

Do premier balls even do anything special?

Pokmon is a 3 year series. Theres too much tied to the franchise in terms of merchandise and cards and shows to not maintain the 3 year schedule.

Gonna replace Lucario with Gallade to finish up the game whenever I feel like farming for/breeding a male Ralts/Kirlia with Trace. I usually don't include grass Pokemon in my team but I never dump my starter Pokemon into a box until endgame, and I'm also kind of a Meowscarada fanboy now tbqhjsimho. Easily top 10 Pokemon for me.

You could probably go to the area between the lighthouse and first pokecenter. The first time I was there, I found exactly two Ralts. One male and one female, an caught them both. You may be able to find on there

So picnics are the new way to breed?

Oh yeah I forgot I already had a Ralts and even posted a pic of it (getting destroyed) earlier in the topic lol. So just as soon as I leave the office it's time to finalize the team.

MedeaLysistrata posted...

Yup. What you want to do is to just keep the two pokemon you plan to breed in your party, start a picnic, put your bike pokemon back in its pokeball (might not be necessary), make a sandwich that boosts egg rates like a Jam Sandwich (this also might not be necessary but doesn't hurt), and then just wait. Check on the picnic basket on the ground by the table and you can get eggs from there. Also the basket only holds up to 10 eggs at a time so you'll have to check every few minutes.

I actually enjoy this process a lot more than SwSh since I can just afk for like 5 minutes, grab eggs, and then afk again. Did that last night while watching Sunday Night Football and got like 24 eggs.

Oh that sounds better than the old way.

Oh yeah they also made Egg moves a lot easier to transfer over too. First is the regular breeding method, second is

However, another way to pass the Egg Moves is by using the Mirror Herb. In order to get it, you will have to buy it in Delibird Presents in Cascarrafa for 30,000 pok dollars.The Mirror Herb is used for battle, but also can be used during picnics to pass moves. You will have to place it on the Pokmon you want to teach the move to and go for a picnic with it along the Pokmon that possesses the move you wish to teach. This method has the advantage over breeding because neither Pokmon needs to be in the same egg group for it to work.

Trying to do 5 star raids and nobody looks at the Tera type.

Can also do it basically anywhere instead of having to pace outside a pokemon daycare

No its not an MMO.

Debating on replaying the main story on my Lite just to have an extra Koraidon to trade off. I already have the endgame one, but I'm worried about transfers later down the line. You can't get rid of the ride Koraidon so I'm afraid of getting stuck without one later on <_<

It's open-world, and you can play online with a few other players in your lobby, but it's not an MMO.

Nope. Its an open-world Pokmon game. But it does have coop
