>>58438780
if you can't find them it's usually because they're a Day/Night exclusive, otherwise I think they might just be rare/only show up in a specific spot

I'm starting to realize how lame it is that you need a mega evolution pokemon for the big rogue battles. Feels like the only mega evolution I even want to use is my starter, and if I have any favorites on my team, none of them have a mega evolution OR I have no access to their mega evolution stone yet.

Isn't that kind of gay and lame?

What are the best megas to have on my team early on just after unlocking mega evo? I have Emboar, Greninja, Absol, Gardevoir and Lucario rn, I’d like to use Scolipede, Hawlucha and Ampharos but their mega stones aren’t available yet…

where do you get the apricon balls, do they progression unlock in the ball emporium?

>>58438939
Mega Camerupt helped me A LOT

>>58438911
you don't. Move + system makes it so any pokemon can face rogue battles like megas do

>>58438939
You can check in Quasar or the stone boutique for which early megastones are up for sale and decided. Scolipede, Hawlucha and Ampharos I believe are not with the initial batch, but Lopunny, Lucario, Gyarados and plenty others are as well as Charizard and Blastoise but not Venusaur.

>>58438911
I've been using Plus moves over Megas for half of them due to type matchup

Any other unlocks from side content like the flabebe thing?

So the best Canari doll to upgrade is the mega shard one right? If you wanna buy all the stones ASAP anyway. It seems to be the only one where I can see a noticeable difference.

most likely, in cutscenes that require specific pokemon it works that way, same with alpha size.

In case you guys still haven't gotten around to using them, exchange your colorful screws for the blue plushies. It's so much less frustrating to catch some stronger/rarer things now.

Any config tips when emulating the game? Playing at 17fps is killing me inside lol

It sucks how you're pretty much stuck using megas. I want to use delphox but she's pretty useless in boss battles without her mega stone.

>>58439415
>game about Lumiose city
>"is the game in Lumiose city?"
Its understandable if its not what you want, but a lot of the complaints for the game (while many are fair) feel like very apples to oranges things. Its a JRPG set in Lumiose city about stuff happening in a city, it can feel like getting mad that Wind Waker doesnt have ranked online shooter multiplayer or something.

>>58439415
They said it would take place in Lumoise City the very first infodump

I fucking hate exploration in the game. Everywhere looks the goddamn same.

A surprising number of people still thought Lumiose would just be the main hub of the game and you could explore its surrounding areas.

So I just realized I can just buy the fossils at the Emporium, where do I take them after that? I feel like I've ran all over the goddamn place. I'm sure I've missed it a thousand times too.

once you get the ability to use coffe shops, about 3-5 drinks does the trick. The 100k is a TOTAL scam tho

>the museum
HOLY KINO SOVL OVERDRIVE

>>58439496
as you move the plot forward, you will get a sidequest inside the lab that teaches you that you can buy fossils there and puts you in a fetch quest to do just that and revive the pokemon. After that you can use the service whenever you want. Relatively early side quest.

I haven't bought the game yet, have semi liked what i played so far on emulator but its not a real experience. If I used a voucher to pick up another switch game with it, what game do I get? Alternatively I'm tempted to order the japanese bundle with Air Riders but the total will come out to ~$170 with shipping + customs.

>>58439492
its those damn shorts and exposed tumny of hers that are doing it for me. I bet even Lida would look hot wearing something like that

I'm surprised the main story had a segment where you can just catch a Gengar and not have to worry about the trade nonsense. I failed to catch them (because I was retarded and wasn't thinking about it at the time), but I reloaded before the autosave kicked in and you can catch one. That's pretty neat.
I wonder if there's a thing like that for Alakazam or Machamp later.

Trying to cycle through the balls quick enough to catch things in what I want is a pain in the ass.

I don't know how to feel about how Wild zones are implemented.

I didnt expect it to ACTUALLY only be Lumiose City. I thought that was going to be most of the game but was hoping that surely you can go to at least a few other areas. But no. Slap the city together using primitive shapes in google sketchup and print it. Fucking fortnite creative mode shit.

There's plenty of shit you can complain about in ZA but this particular angle is fucking asinine.

shineys dont despawn unless you have more than 10 of them, so if you find somewhere where you can enter and leave a zone quickly with a loading screen, ideally by just holding down the joystick it rerolls the odds every time you reload it, so if you did it for hours eventually all of the spawns (up to 10) would be shiny

>>58440638
Starmie would give you Water and Psychic.

>can hold down joystick to leave and re-enter lysandre labs
if I save once a shiny has spawned will it persist after reloading? the game only autosaves when the catch is successful so could just quit if I dont catch it...

Does resting at benches refresh spawns? Do i have to catch/kill and then rest? This fucking Pancham does not want to spawn in Area 3.

Say I want alpha falinks (not shiny). He’s in area 16. Does simply reflying to area 16 reset it? Or do I have to fly to a bench, rest, and fly back and hope its an alpha?

>>58440747
have a watch of some youtube videos, there are loads about shiny hunting

>>58440684
Thank you for the confirm, ended up getting it after 4 more rests.

You fucking piece of shit.

>>58440758
I can give a fuck if it’s shiny, did you even read the comment?

>>58440734
I thought I would keep meeting meaningfully named NPCs that had their names match the Rank letter, but the F rank girl has different names with different letters in each language and it was way more of a mood kill than the rank skip itself. I actually felt robbed. The fact that your team partners are low tiered and the rival that was "climbing the ranks" was just rank V... oh man. But otherwise I still like the game.

>>58440739
Nobody would complain if they made up win streak bonus bullshit that only applied to MZ for being good at stopping rogue megas

Why do I need to roll like it's Dark Souls 3/Elden Ring to avoid Earth Power? That's hilariously precise timing.

>>58439026
Its also awesome when you are in the middle of fighting an alpha and when this mandatory loading screen comes on it resets all your progress made with the battle.

>>58440761
reminds me of when I was fighting an alpha dragonair and a small swarm of shit birds kept using random moves at my trainer to the point I had to break off dragonair to kill them all

The museum has a bunch of references to PLA. And if you read about Volos final boss outfit it states the one who wore it donated it to the museum, basically confirming Volo is a time traveller.

Do I sell the tiny mushrooms or are they for something?

>>58440823
Are you also getting molested by their ranged attacks in Zone 17? Yeah I have no idea how to handle it outside of killing everything slowly one by one.

More interesting and engaging than any mainline game. I think it falls short from PLA though.

Theres no point in having an interconnected open world if you're only going to unlock the functionality of half it through progressing in the story.
At that point you might as well just create entirely new unique areas that unlock as you progress in the story. You know...like Legends Arceus

>>58441071
A lot of people will only get to that once they're in post-game, and there's eventually going to be a public code for that purpose.

is there a true ending like in arceus? do i need to have ALL pokemon?

My balltism is going to be the death of me in this game. I just want to catch a Dratini in a regular Pokéball and the little fuckers will not stay in. Has anyone managed to catch one in something other than a Quick Ball? I have lvl 3 Blue Canari plush to max catch rate, and it’s still just not enough, especially with them fleeing after the initial attempts.

The tower you can climb that has an alpha fletchling at the top has a transition that resets spawns.
Hold down on the joystick to go up and down the tower with like a rubberband or something and it'll afk get several shiny spawns an hour.

>>58441148
I'm pretty sure he explicitly says he doesn't want an Alpha one tho

>>58441190
aren't alpha the only ones that can be XL?

>>58441167
>>58441184
I looked it up, and wow, that's pretty crazy.
The shinies that spawn in the area are saved too?
I saw this dude mentioning that he found a few in the Area 3, and then entered the area and the shinies were still there?
Pretty crazy. Thanks Anons.

>>58441190
I gave him an alpha one and it worked.
>>58441165
Wild zone 20 can have them and 12 can spawn them after you have registered every pokemon in the zone in your pokedex

>>58441198
no. but an alpha works for the quest. as long as it's XL.
(I have an XL kadabra thats not an alpha)

>>58441201
Yeah, the game saves 10 shinies across the map at once and as long as you don't KO it or spook it in the case of mons like Pichu, Espurr, etc, it'll aways stay until you do deal with it or spawn past 10 shinies.

>>58441214

So uhh this entire game takes place inside the city right? I'm like 15 hrs in and I'm already getting tired of seeing nothing but the same scenery over and over again. At least in PLA you go to go to different environments. In PLZA its just the same shit over and over again...

The Litwick sidequest has a really amusing ending scene.

First jumpscare in Pokemon

>>58441461
It genuinely made me laugh.

if this game brought back the roller skates from XY and turned travelling through the city into a jetset radio game, then it would've been kino.

>>58441431
The problem is that Gamefreak just isn't the kind of developer who can pull off making a singular city feel good. They could have made the city more lively by having NPCs doing more stuff in the background. There could have been basic traffic going on. The districts could have been more unique by having say a Chinatown or something or at least creating economically diverse districts like having a poor area that is more rustic buildings and houses while a high end area could have been more modern looking buildings.

so, i assume you can't get Calem or Serena's clothes in this game? it'd be cool if you could recreate them both.

Just finished the Camari promotion and she felt like a souless version of Iono, pretty disappointing. The twist was a bit funny though.
I didn't see anyone post it yet so I made a mini-walkthrough for the quiz.
Entry password: Let's Go DYN4MO!

Round 1 is true/false, stand in the box and hit A. Just follow the fat guy who talked to you.
Q1: Am I good at falling block puzzle games?
A1: True

Q2: Are macrons my favorite food?
A2: False

Q3: Electric pokemon are my favorite type
A3: True

Round 2 is a fetch quest, just go to the marker on the map

Round 3 is part battle part quiz.
For the battle part, you fight the fat guy from before.
Helioptile lv. 34
- Swift
- Parabolic Charge
Not sure the last 2 because Clefable OHKO'd it kek

Emolga lv. 34
- Wing Attack
- Nuzzle
- Charge
- Spark

Raichu lv. 35
- Thunderbolt
- Spark
- Brick Break
- Quick Attack

Quiz part is a freebie but if you missed it it's option 4. After that you go to the contruction company and fight the construction guy

>Capture most Alpha Pokemon first try
>Alpha Houndoom has escaped me 7 or 8 times now

>Mega Barbaracle loses Water typing and becomes Rock/Fighting
Yeah thanks remove Water from the Water Pokemon I wanted to use, cool

>Getting to it is impossible
Cool softlock.

Is it possible to get an Alpha Buneary or do I need to catch the Alpha Lop?

How do you change focus on another mon?

>>58441721
You can get an alpha Buneary. For random pokemon in wild zone to be alpha you do need to register every pokemon in the zone in your pokedex first though.

What's the most reliable spot to complete the research quest for catching dragons? I mean like a reliable way to catch 50 of them fuckers.

Holy fucking shit Wild Zone 8 is fucking miserable I hate this place so much

I was fighting Mega Starmie with Vsync turned off on the emulator which made that huge water blast that it does basically unreactable unless you're using an appropriate patch. I had to redo the fight twice because I kept getting my ass blasted with water. Mega Starmie truly is the most powerful mega evolution.

>>58441787
Noibat in the sewers or Dragalge in wild zone 20 might be good places to try.

>>58441733
How do I reset areas, just keep fast traveling away and back to them?

>>58441658
I honestly liked her more than Iono. Her battle theme was great too. Iono is far too LoL so random XD for my taste where as Canari is just a smelly shut in making a livelihood.

>>58441860
that or changing the time of the day

i don't understand how the plus move system works

i went into a battle royale and i got a card that asked me to use plus moves 3 times

however, none of my plus moves actually counted for the card until i used them while mega evolved. this indicates to me that the plus doesn't actually do anything until the pokemon is mega evolved, which makes no sense

>>58441895
press start and use a move to actually use a plus move. you probably skipped the tutorial like a dumbass.

>>58441895
>this indicates to me that the plus doesn't actually do anything until the pokemon is mega evolved, which makes no sense
No? when mega evolved all moves are just automatically plus moves.

When not mega evolved you have to manually pick toggle on a plus move (at the cost of gauge)

>>58441895
You press the start/plus button to activate it when in non-mega form. The plus moves are used automatically in mega form which is why you were getting credit there.
There's a tutorial for it and you can go back and read it in the tourist tips in the status menu under help and settings.

>>58441895
It's literally in the name, you have to hit + before using the move. RTFM, there's literally a popup that appears and it's in the trainer tips or whatever

>>58441658
Had the opposite reaction, Camari felt more honest and human, Iono felt extremely fake.

is Hisuian Goodra in this game? i swear i saw it in the leaks

at what point in the story do I unlock the sewers?

>>58441895
How to use Move+ manually without megaevolving:
1-Aim to target, pokemon or not
2-Press + button, you will see the system is activated because the icons now glow for the moves that are now Move+ tier (they have that one icon)
3-Use move, it will eat a segment of the megaring bar

How to use Move+ while megaevolving:
1-Press the Megaevolution button
2-Any move currently in the move slots becomes Move+ regardless of mastery
3-Aim to target, pokemon or not
4-Use move

While megaevolved, all moves will automatically use the Move+ system but any pokemon that has them can make use of the damage boost. You do not need Megaevolution to do the Rogue battles, what megaevolution gives is their regular stat boost and that all their moves become Move+ otherwise anypokemon can damage them with a boost using the system

>>58441972
i don't understand what's the point of plus status moves

the rogue megas are all unaffected by them and it's not like the status gets any stronger against regular mons

>>58441868
>Iono is far too LoL so random XD
In what way

>>58441988
Status move plus have a stronger effect

>>58441932
>home transfer only
fuck you, gamefreak

>>58442023
it's the same para, burn, your stats go up by 1 stage regardless etc., how do they get stronger?

>>58441988
For one it makes attacks larger, normal bubblebeam is slow as fuck and misses half the time but chargeup is almost instant and it's huge when used as a plus move
Plus Metronome always gives me good moves but that might be RNG

i bet this game is fun as fuck with a randomizer

>>58442045
I was curious and did some testing and it seems that Calm Mind lasts ~3 seconds longer (~12 vs ~15s) and Wish heals about .1X more max HP (.33 vs .433). No changes in intensity.
For temp status moves and healing moves the length/health buff should also apply but I don't see anything outside of faster chargeup for permanent status moves

>>58442166
I think it's more because all moves become Plus in Mega so they had to get some sort of minor bonus as opposed to being something you're supposed to manually Plus

>>58441760
>>58442106
I'm glad Shania finally got away from that BITCH who bullied her.

Are there alpha fossils available reasonably early? I was thinking of using Tyrantrum but its default size is a bit small, so I might just be cringe and use Garchomp instead.

I'm curious
in a big zone, if I do a whole lap (including rooftops) and the pokemon change (different pokemon, alphas that weren't there before), does that mean that I can make new pokemon spawn without having to fly over or do the bench method?

>>58441052
Seems to be the case for a lot of the non-cute Pokemon. My Alpha Gyarados looks exactly what I expected a normal one to look like.

Why the fuck is Onix so tiny in this game. Mega Froslass is huge so they could have made it bigger if they wanted to
