After 6 days of hunt since my shiny Dialga… This time I saved my Master Ball and caught it after just a couple of Dusk Balls. Which should I shiny hunt next? (I was planning Palkia but I don’t have an SP yet). So far: Arceus (2) ✅, Dialga ✅, Giratina ✅.

Just replaying this game, and took a moment to look at their little descriptions…

BIDOOF A MOUSE?!
I beg your finest pardon…
That is a beaver and I shan’t hear anything else…
Also less of the plump… that’s just a big built BEAVER.

That is all.

This was the stressiest shiny ever since i was in a double battle with an npc, i really hoped he wouldn't knock it out

This is the last Pokémon I need to complete the pokedex, I’ve given up trying to fish for feebas so now im here asking if anyone can help me out😭 If anyone has one and wouldn’t mind sharing it please reach out. I’ve never done anything online on the game so not sure how it works too well. I got a warning saying no trading trying to post but I’d give it right back if it can work like that.

The Harvest + Trick method really works like a charm! Caught another shiny legendary without having to worry about it running out of PP and Struggle itself to death 😂

Need a bdsp shieldon and 2 cranidos if anyone can help.

Thank you

I'm looking for a lucky egg so that I can up from level 46~48 to 55 (I'm about to enter the Victory Road, and I want to grind for the league)

but it has been 2 hours and just 4 chanseys, one of them holding a... oval stone 💀 5% chance of Chansey appearing, +5% chance of it hold a lucky egg...that's 0.052% chance. Should I just ignore the lucky egg and just grind without it?

Edit: LOL I just realized that the ONE chancey I caught just for dex purposes had a lucky egg 😭 I still want to know your thoughts tho, might be helpful for those who come after

Is there anyway to reroll swarms without locking yourself out? Just need Spinda for in game dex thanks to Home.

​

How do I make a lot of poke dollars in the game? I’m constantly running out of money just from buying a bunch of pokeballs

Now I Just need Crown Tundra, Isle of Armor, and Fire Red / Leaf Green.

Let's be honest, using ALL berry patches in game, makes it a tiny bit of a chore.

There are a few that I refuse to use because they're either A: Too far from a fast travel point or B: tucked away weirdly or C: Both. Usually what pushes me to not use a berry spot is C, sometimes A.

I know that certain stickers go with certain traits and are somewhat helpful for your end score.

But beyond that I don't know much. I haven't dived that deep into this mechanic.

Just got Shining Pearl and I want to use Houndoom in my play through. However I can’t decide between Piplup and Turtwig as well as the rest of the team. Any suggestions or recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Dialga's going to take a bit because I'm gonna shiny hunt him. Everything else will come with a bit of effort.

Before anyone mentions National, this is all pokemon Home Needs for the Sinnoh Dex. And that was the whole point too. I'll probably 100% the Ranmas Gardens for both games though

Totally not on purpose too! Was looking for my daily pokemon in the garden (happily) and BOOM! Shiny Modest Mine Jr!!! I could cry hahahaa

Yesterday’s cultivation was a success! Time to harvest the rewards.

Probopass was my MSN profile pic in 2006 before Pokemon Diamond was released in North America. I thought the design was so cool and goofy. I was disappointed by how weak it was in gen 4. I’m glad I found a way to give it the spotlight.

Hand's player a bottle of fresh water.

I've always logic-ed Fresh water in pokemon as being like, that 'sports' water with the vitamins and stuff in it? Cause that's the only thing that makes sense to me. Lemonade etc make sense, but normal water doesn't lol So that's my head canon.

Hi! I'm here to find out how you guys are managing to solo the Elite Four, if anyone has actually managed to do so. Currently, I'm using a 2-Pokémon strategy, so it doesn't really count as a true solo run, but it's the lowest number of Pokémon I've managed to use so far, and it works almost perfectly.

My main criteria are that the strategy must not rely on luck, meaning no reliance on Critical Hits, chances of inflicting a specific status condition, or even whether a move will actually hit its target or not. I also can't rely on having any other Pokémon in my party, for example, to revive my "solo" Pokémon, since the goal is to use as few Pokémon as possible. The idea is to have the most predictable team possible while also keeping battles as fast as possible to speed up multiple runs against the Elite Four.

The two Pokémon I'm using are:

• Rayquaza
  • Nature: Adamant
  • Ability: Air Lock
  • EVs: Atk and Spd
  • Max IVs: Atk, Spd, and HP
  • Held Item: Amulet Coin
  • Moves:
    • Aerial Ace
    • Outrage
    • Dragon Ascent
    • Dragon Claw
• Mewtwo
  • Nature: Modest
  • Ability: Unnerve
  • EVs: Sp. Atk and Spd
  • Max IVs: Sp. Atk, Spd, and HP
  • Held Item: Twisted Spoon
  • Moves:
    • Energy Ball
    • Ice Beam
    • Shadow Ball
    • Psystrike

My strategy is as follows:

Aaron

• Yanmega: Rayquaza > Aerial Ace
• Flygon: Rayquaza > Dragon Claw
• Vespiquen: Rayquaza > Aerial Ace
• Heracross: Rayquaza > Aerial Ace
• Scizor: Rayquaza > Dragon Ascent
• Drapion: Rayquaza > Outrage

Bertha

• Whiscash: Rayquaza > Outrage
• Nidoking: Mewtwo > Ice Beam
• Gliscor: Mewtwo > Ice Beam
• Hippowdon: Mewtwo > Ice Beam
• Mamoswine: Mewtwo > Energy Ball
• Rhyperior: Mewtwo > Energy Ball

Flint

• Ninetales: Rayquaza > Dragon Claw
• Arcanine: Mewtwo > Psystrike
• Houndoom: Rayquaza > Aerial Ace
• Rapidash: Mewtwo > Psystrike
• Infernape: Rayquaza > Aerial Ace
  • Note: Infernape holds a Focus Sash, which means it can't be defeated in a single hit. It usually responds by using Thunder Punch on Rayquaza, which may leave it paralyzed. I then use Aerial Ace again on the second turn. I haven't been able to work around this issue with a different move and/or Pokémon.
• Magmortar: Mewtwo > Psystrike

Lucian

Note: Against Lucian, I change Mewtwo's held item to Spell Tag or Spooky Plate, since this is the only way to OHKO Bronzong with my current team.

• Mr. Mime: Rayquaza > Dragon Ascent
• Espeon: Mewtwo > Shadow Ball
• Alakazam: Mewtwo > Shadow Ball
• Bronzong: Mewtwo > Shadow Ball
• Slowbro: Mewtwo > Shadow Ball
• Gallade: Mewtwo > Shadow Ball

Cynthia

Note: Against Cynthia, I switch Mewtwo's held item back to Twisted Spoon.

• Spiritomb: Rayquaza > Outrage
• Porygon-Z: Mewtwo > Psystrike
• Lucario: Mewtwo > Psystrike
  • Note: The same thing happens here as with Flint's Infernape: Lucario holds a Focus Sash, so Mewtwo gets attacked after the first hit, usually with Meteor Mash. I then use Psystrike again on the second turn to defeat Lucario.
• Milotic: Mewtwo > Energy Ball
  • Note: This is the biggest problem with the strategy, as Milotic is the only Pokémon that can actually throw the entire run off. Neither Mewtwo nor Rayquaza can defeat it with a single move, allowing it to use Mirror Coat against Mewtwo's Energy Ball and knock Mewtwo out. In these cases, I usually restart the game and try again. Fortunately, Milotic uses Scald most of the time, which may inflict the Burn status condition on Mewtwo, but that doesn't interfere with the strategy.
• Garchomp: Mewtwo > Ice Beam
  • Note: Mewtwo's Unnerve ability prevents Garchomp from using its Yache Berry, which would otherwise reduce Ice Beam's super-effective damage. This guarantees a one-hit KO.

So, that's my strategy, and it's the best I've come up with while sticking to the criteria I mentioned above.

I'd love to hear about your strategies for trying to solo the Elite Four!

I think I can get most of them via importing and breeding. Dialga is waiting at spear pillar.

If you wanna know why I'm only doing Regional and not National, it's cause I'm doing this living dex for Pokemon Home which only want's the Regional Dex (Thankfully)

I didn’t know how bad it was with spirit tomb only having one weakness

Cynthia and I are on good terms right now so instead of battling we decided to start a farm together! Spiritomb didn’t contribute much but that’s ok. The crops will be ready for harvest tomorrow.

I just started and im trying to figure out how to trade globally. does anyone know how i can or what i have to do to be able to
