(+) Yeah! (+)

If I beat the E4 + Champion will I be able to do the Charizard Tera raid event this weekend? Or will I need to complete other stuff as well?

Tandemaus has a 4% chance of evolving into the three family form.

I never knew that.

I have a nearly complete dex. Anyone here willing to quickly touch trade their koraidon for my miraidon?

I'll do it let me turn my game on is there anything else you need like the four ruins?

Nope, I've traded for every other exclusive and I actually have a near complete living dex, minus Koraidon.

But I don't need him other than dex completion.

Great, I'm ready when you are

OK, the code will be 082493

Man I hope they fix the online soon. All these errors

thank you much!

You're welcome always happy to help when I can with pokemon

In one sandwich, I managed to get six more shiny Iron Hands last night. The first four were Electric Tera type, then I finally found one with a Fighting Tera type. After I caught it, I only had a minute left on the sandwich boosts, so I went to leave the cave, but I got lucky and caught one more shiny on the way out and that one also had the Fighting Tera type. I was hoping that I would get the Fighting Tera type early so I could use the remaining time on my sandwich to maybe get a shiny Iron Thorns, but it didn't work out.

I got my two to use for raids, and now I have five extra shiny Iron Hands that I can trade away if anyone wants them, so make your offers. I'm looking for shinies or useful hidden abilities that I don't have or an Ability Patch. Whoever makes the best offer gets the one with the Fighting Tera type.

Actually it's a 1% chance (1 in 100). Serebii reported it was 4%, but has since changed their report based on new findings. I don't think they fixed the new forms page, but if you check Tandemaus/Maushold's Scarlet/Violet Pokedex page you'll see it's been updated to the 1 in 100 thing.

The exact same scenario is true for the Three Segment Dudunsparce, right down to the numbers.

EDIT: Turns out they DID fix the page on form changes, so now it does say 1% everywhere.

I feel like an idiot but is there a way to tell how much meal power is left? (for non shiny sandwiches, i dont have those yet, just beat the main story tho so i should be able to get them shortly)

ive never seen a countdown timer or anything anywhere. or is it just permanent until your next picnic?

Press right on the d-pad

Think I'm just about done with what I can do on my own with 1 copy. Still need to unlock and catch the legendaries. Hatch 2 eggs, and make Chansey into a Blissey. Then unless I'm missing some sightings from my Pokedex the rest are all in Scarlet and the other starters.

you know what that means. Time to EV/IV train your perfect team. I'm saving the school tournament and the gym leader/team star leader check ups for that. I hope HOME comes soon, I'm missing one member of my core team through I'm stuck trying to decide if I want the shiny one or the regular one.

Give Chansey like 15 medium candies. Mine evolved like that. Which was more than Eevee. Eevee took 5 medium candies for Umbreon and Sylveon

Eh, I don't do competitive stuff. I just shiny hunt mostly. Still ev train them and stuff, but beyond that I don't really have a set team.

Ah, right. I forgot the candies make them happy. That shouldn't be a problem then.

Excluding the legends, I'm still missing 25 Pokemon. Which looks like it's just about right for all the exclusive evos, and trade ones I don't have. Time for Blissey and Stake hunting I guess.

saving the school tournament

The school tournament isn't a one-time thing. Not only can you do it over and over again, it's one of the best ways to farm money (by giving your overleveled lead an Amulet Coin) and to level up lower level Pokemon on the side. So I wouldn't save it.

I'm trying to hunt down the last catchables before I start leveling up stiff to evolve. Fomantis is annoying to find.

My stupid snail dragon finally evolved. Sure enough, the dex has a hint for how to evolve it...IN THE EVOLVED FORM'S ENTRY. Fucking hate when they do that useless shit. Also what's the FUCKING point of having it evolve in the rain and then letting it naturally learn Rain Dance if that rain doesn't work? That's Haunter with an everstone level trolling.

Anyway, the shiny charm is mine now so I can go play the Monster Hunter and Splatoon updates instead of using it.

Chien-po is the cutest of the four terrors go get him first but before you do, make sure you get in good with the history teacher she marks their location on your map once you get close enough.

Arugh, so many pokemon to make teams of yet it's soooo difficult to decide who to use when to use why to use.

There's usually a bunch right next to the fairy star base. Like right up against the fence.

I found a bunch of them in the fall looking area

I noticed theres a bunch of like hidden areas Not really hidden, but definitely out of the way

Just found a shiny cubchoo. My first actual random one. All my others were from outbreaks after knocking 60 out.

So, that's...
2 Noivern.
Golduck.
20 Varoom(from the cloning glitch). Still available if anyone wants one.
A Noibat... Yep.
And now the random Cubchoo.

So 5 species down so far. Not bad.

Anyone know where Pawmi and it's evolutions spawn the most? I think I'll try for a shiny one

Six star raids are rough. u_u

Any good support builds to shoot for? Maybe a hazer or healer?

If you can wait until later tonight, I'll trade you one of my shiny Iron Hands for one.

Sure, that sounds great. I've got ones in luxury, premier, and regular poke balls. Just let me know which you'd prefer.

I took a look at the shiny colors and I think the Luxury Ball colors match the best, so let's go with that one. I'll be back at my Switch in like 3 hours, so we can do the trade then. If not, then we can do it tomorrow.

Yeah the map design in this game is surprisingly decent. Very rarely does going off the beaten path feel wasted

@KogaSteelfang I'm available to trade now if you want. Just let me know and I'll set it up. Also, do you want the Iron Hands with the Fighting Tera type, or does it not really matter? I never got any other offers for them, so I'll let you pick if you want that one or not.

So whats the betting that this will just address the RNG thing for online battles and remove item/pokemon duping and not do a thing for performance

that reminds me I got stuck in a wall today lol.

Placing bets on if this actually addresses perfomance issues in a meaningful way, or if it just hits the current cloning glitches >_>

@calwings I'm ready when you are. Sent a pm as well.

Thank you!

Thanks for the trade, Koga.

I'm not even going to bother installing the update if it does nothing for game performance. I've already completed the dex so I don't need to do any more trades, and I don't do anything else online so not having online access won't matter to me at all.

If anyone wants to do item duplication stuff before installing the update that might patch it, use this video below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=staa9Fv0Rwo

I would recommend going into your Switch settings and turning off auto-update, then only updating your game once you have all of your duplication stuff done. If you happen to have an Ability Patch from a 6* raid, duplicate a bunch of those. Not only is it just a really great item, it sells for a fuckton of money.

Shit I don't have fast enough reflexes to do that

Shit I don't have fast enough reflexes to do that

It's not that tough. The A-B press to do it the first time is like half a second between them, and you only have to do that part once for the initial setup. If it helps, put your controller down on a flat surface and use two different fingers on your hand (or one from each hand) to hit the buttons rather than trying to slide the same finger to hit both buttons.

Since the competitive starts in the same day as the update, its probably for the RNG thing

So I put on the newest Jrose11 solo run to listen to while I duplicated Ability Patches, and by the time the video ended, I ended up with slightly over 300 Ability Patches. I only needed to sell about 70 of them to reach the maximum amount of money you can possibly carry (9,999,999 btw) so yeah... I think I'm set for a while.

Did the patch fix anything?

It's not out yet

331 Pokmon caught.

I really like Kingambit's design. My team is still heavy on physical sweepers, but it's better than it used to be.

I really like that wild Pokemon just sit by and spectate whatever Pokemon you're fighting lol I do miss how multiple Pokemon could attack you in Legends of Arceus.

Going to hold off on the patch to get a few more ability patches tomorrow. Really want to do a Charizard raid tho. Not sure how many Patches I'll actually need tho. I can't see myself needing more than 10.
