battle - trade - raidold >>58420662
is absol good online? its carrying my ass in the story. I heard bedrill is good in the story as well
>>58441793 pls>>58441805Eh it’s a mega you can’t go wrong with any of them if you just want K rank. It’s kinda a fodder mega though compared to the others, my scolipede eats them.
>want to try some little cup battles with my early team>99% of online is mega supermove spam...
>>58441799no raids in this game retard
pls tell me they add wonder trade after beating the story
>>58441829sv
>>58441829This isn't a ZA thread.
>>58441829hop on sword ‘n shield!
>>58441829this is a wifi general, za is not the only switch pokemon game with wifi
>>58441829which is retarded because ZA would have been perfect for Raids
>>58441844This so fucking much, the mega battles would be perfect for raids
>>58441848>>58441844Small indie company, please understand
Anyone want to give me a metal coat and help evolve my scyther? Let me know what you want in exchange. I’m at the part where I battle meta beedrill.
>>58441854whats a meta beedril
>>58441858Mega
>>58441858UU’s top bee.
What do the green checkmarks on some of the pokemon mean when you're in a Link Trade?
>>58441939im not sure
>>58441939whoops, I meant the green thumbs-up icon on some of the pokemon.
>>58441994SV had "excited" icons jumping up and down which indicated that your trade partner did not have those Pokemon registered, this is to help others complete their dexes via trades. I assume this works the same, either it means they are candidates to help your trade partner or it means they already have those species ergo the thumbs up
>>58441939Just that the person you're trading with doesn't have one or needs it for research.
>>58442018also they put the thumbs up on the 1st one of a pokemon in the box
>>58441854trade code?
>>58441805I just used Victreebel, stuff like Sludge Wave that does an AoE effect can be pretty strong in online if you use it right since there's multiple opponents
>>58441844>>58441848Most likely cut since it'll be Legends Galar's main selling pointRemember when they cut following pokemon from Alola because it would make the Let's Go games feel less special?
PLZANeed someone with 10 min of spare time to touch trade evolve: >Scizor>Machamp>Alakazam>Slowking>Aromatisse>SlupuffI have all held items ready to go and we just need to go through the process of trading. I need the tradee to trade at least ONE middle stage trade evolution pokemon to me for the research (IE: Kadabra, Machoke)LINK CODE: 4488 5588
>>58442050And now followers are in all the modern games. This company makes the most bad decisions of any I’ve seen in gaming that hasn’t gone under.
>ranked mode>gardevoir gardevoir gardevoir gardevoir gardevoir gardevoir gardevoir gardevoir gardevoir gardevoir gardevoir Why?
>>58442097waifu
>>58442097>not running excadrill and one shotting everything
>>58442097Special Attackers are really strong online since you can stay out range and stuff
>>58442103dash -> AOE is broken for physical attackers
>>58442097You get her for free from mystery gift. She's pretty good. She's beautiful.
>>584420280903 9999
>>58442028I’ll give you the scyther, then you slap on the metal coat, if that’s ok
>>58442103>>58442110>>58442111I guess. I stopped playing it at Rank I. Seems like kind of a cluster fuck now, in that you can snipe two people with something like Hydro Pump. Wonder if this mode will actually have any longevity.
>>58442126The most consistent strat I’ve found is to just jump inbetween other players with an aoe or snipe the weakest one from far way with a special attack or dig. Dig is an insane move, you cannot run from it and the digger will come out from under its target no matter what. The guy with a Garchomp usually wins, it’s a very powerful mon and the speed stat doesn’t matter as much anymore so the mega is basically just a beast. Bring something with ice just in case.
>>58442065Still looking?
Anyone available that can do some quick trade evos?
Online play feels like a third person MOBA with like 2010 era netcode. Very laggy, things update oddly visually so you feel like you're reacting and acting towards things that the server decided went differently 2 seconds ago.It's impossible to lose points and go down in rank as long as you mega evolve as soon as you can, pick up items as you see them, and attempt to score kills. I got to A rank with a slowbro that spammed surf an psychic. As long as you have a fully evolved pokemon that has a 70+ BP move, you can simply go from lowest rank to max rank in a few hours.This combat system will not approach the capacity to replace the current system anywhere in the next 10 years.Your reward for A rank is 300 mega shards.
>>58442210on par with the masterball rewards desu
Anyone later in the game willing to catch and trade a Drampa? I wanna use it but don't wanna wait till endgame.
Anyone tried mega-victreebel in ranked? How does it fare?
>>58442372Dies to Gardevoir
>>58442377:(
How tf do you catch the area 16 froakie?
>>58442536masterball
>>58442101Sounds great till I set up a SD and brick(buck) break you.
>>58442575whats sd and whats brick im new
>>58442103>>58442097My experience is my ranged attacks missing constantly, like they will even "hit" the other poke but not register.
>>58442602 >:))))
>>58442552It runs away so fast. I can barely get to the second row of hedges
>>58442097>not responding with Metagross Metagross metagross
>>58442820im not late game yet so i can't catch one, nor do i want to rush it
kill stealing makes me seethe
My teams around level 25 and I'm having fun just exploring and doing sidequests. Wanted to try online to break it up. If I go online to try and get Greninjaite am I just going to get destroyed?
>>58443009Most likely. Everyone else already has 3 fully evolved mega mons playing there. Everything scales to 50 though so once you unlock your starter mega you can play and its really easy to rank up to get the greninja stone.
>>58443017Around when do we get our starter mega in the game? Really having fun just dicking around but don't want to miss out on Greninjaite since I love Greninja haha. Do we have 3 weeks or so? Don't wanna rush my experience :(
>>58443023Ends november 5. I dont remember anymore when you get the mega but its somewhere where your started would evolve. I wouldnt sweat it though its really easy to rank up there.
Do we know what rank we have to get to in order to get the mega stones for the gen 6 starters in ZA?
>>58443041K
>>58443041A
Anyone willing to trade / tradeback my team's Pumpkaboo? I'm annoyed that trade evos are back when Arceus got rid of then.
I did it, boys. Let me tell you, having 2x with electric weakness did not make things easier.
>>58443101I can help you, gimme the link code
>>584431187855 7855
>>58443118Thanks anon, you're a real one
Not sure I like these battles bros
>>58443044Thanks, just got it>>58443052Lies!
>>58442097She’s a free mega, good stats etc
Anyone need a ZA touch trade? I got a Kadabra to evolve and want the trade evo research too so I need you to evolve something.5369-8523
>>58442050Yeah I can see Raid Battles being back for Legends Galar, it looks built for it
Remember to catch your friendship evolutions in luxury balls.
absol is carrying my sorry ass rn
Would a kind soul be able to trade me a Drampa?
anyone try battling 1v1 bringing a team of 6 mons in the private/link code match thing?
Anyone know why local link trade won't work in ZA? Both switch just endless search for someone
>>58444783Not much info really given here.
>>58444794Both are offline and running the game on separate accounts. Can they really tell I'm trying to trade between the same digital copy?
>>58444821>same digital copyi thought thats impossible
Anyone up for helping evolve my slurpuff 2245 - 2245
>>58444828it's only online. if you start on one and then disconnect it from the internet you can still play on another. I can't tell if somehow local trade is blocked or if it's a separate issue
>>58444853thanks needed to evolve my alpha one
>>58444857>it's only onlineIt is not if it is literally the same digital copy.It's not working for SV either
>>58444853Tried your code found nothing>>58444102Tried your code found nothing :(I also have a kedabra to evolve
>>58444894I mean It only stops them from playing at the same time if they're both online. So I thought local trade would work. This is the only Switch pokemon game I own digitally so I never tried with other ones. I'm confused since there is a bunch of posts about local trades not working for the other games so I don't know if it's the issue or not.
Anyone wanna trade spare shinies? I got a second shiny Fletchling
I saw a guy trading a lvl 100Shiny skarmoury. Is hacking out already?
>>58444950I think i just saw you on 1111 1111. You didnt want my pokemons :’(
>>58444996kevdog already has a bot up
>>58445027I haven't gone online at all
>>58445037proof?
First time playing a legends game and just realized pokemon don't have any abilities. What makes a pokemon strong in these games? Is there a list of whats meta? i'll still be using my favorites just curious
>>58445100mons are still just sacks filled with stats, so stats, typing movepool, cuteness,...
>>58445100Anything that hits hard either naturally or after one buff. It also needs to be able to take a hit or two OR be fast as hell. Special > Physical since the former doesn't need to be up close usually. Some moves like Protect, Spikes and screen have some pretty crazy utility, so test stuff out.
Emboar is broken. One bulk up and those heat crashs are doing massive damage
>>58445290He's also just hard to get rid of.
Why did they bring trade evos back? Being able to evolve with just the item was one of the best things about PLA
Why didn't they just give me a free Mega Lati@s 30 minuts in like they did in $PreviosuGame?
>>58445608long time to still be mad about oras
Is it worth buying this game for the online component?
Do I need to buy this game for Champions?
>>58445427I don't think online trading was possible in Arceus
>>58445864It was.
>>58445858doubtful>>58445864PLA had online trading and trade evos like machoke and kadabra would evolve still
Z-A is so much better than Shartceus
>>58441329>>58441351The leak shows it was planned, and with minigames added too, I have no idea why they removed it, it would have been perfect
>>58445993we didn't deserve it after the leaks
why is there no shiny hunt general? i always thought they get revived every time a game releases
>>58446077you could make it!
>>58442155>Me with the extra powerful ice move, trying to stop the Garchomp from running rampant>I get targetted instead and die before the attack hits chomp>Chomp kills both idiots afterwards
Is there any way to respawn Pokemon faster. I just wanna do some EV training.
>>58445031Where that bot? I'd like to see
>>58445100
>>58446145How do you keep track of EVs in this game?
>>58446172the guy who wrote that is long dead
>>58446176Summary > stats > right stick down
>>58446182He died for our sins...>>58446103NTA but I guess i'll make it, gonna check the archive to see what the last shiny hunt general was like
Can anyone trade me a mon to help me get to k rank in those online battles? I know everyone and their ma has one but I can offer a shiny skiddo
>>58446227Even if you lose you'll steadily gain ranks just by doing objectives. It took me half an hour to reach rank k and I hadn't even beat the story.
>>58446227Sorry is the free mega gardevoir and mega starter not good enough for you??? do you need more handouts you little baby???
>>58446272I’m really low level & and constantly in 4th and even running around getting items doesn’t seem to be raising my rank. I can’t really grind up at the moment and just have stupid fomo, thank you though I’ll keep at it
>>58446277You cant mega evolve till you get the bracelet, otherwise you're just fodder
>>58446277I can’t progress super far into the game at the moment to level them up ; hence offering a shiny for some random beefier mon in the hopes of making a dent
>>58446287Yeah I just get chased down- obviously I am a very easy target
>>58446282>I’m really low levelEveryone gets set to level 50. Just get some fully evolved mons you can get fairly early and you're probably in a good spot.
>>58441828cool epic chungus
>>58446227Would you be happier with a 35 alpha staryu? It'll scale up, then you can evolve it with a water stone
Can someone help me evolve my Kadabra? I've got code 5893 6541
>>58446392Searching for you
>>58446392Your Josef has successfully evolved.
>>58446427Awesome, thanks a bunch!
>>58446446I'll bother you later to evolve my Kadabra and Haunters (still trying to get this shiny hunt thread)
>>58445754definitely not
>>58446103>>58446219Oops I made one. Sorry I didn't look at the archive for the format. Maybe you can do it next time anon
>>58446457I dunno if I'll specifically be the one to catch you if you show back up later, but I'll keep an eye out for helping me
>>58446477I have both Gastly and Abra but havent leveld them yet. It'll be like you, trade and trade and trade back
I’m ready to trade haunter’s anyone online?
I don’t know what I did, but I just put 12345678 and my trade went through.
Anybody have a male Chespin they would trade me? I'll trade you a Shiny Venipede in return.IGN is Pondman.Link code is this post's number
Is the Rank battle mode fun?
>>58446847It's fun for 15 minutes until you get matched with all the Gyarados spammers.
>>58446847It's fun yes, but the meta is evolving rapidly. You still can climb with 3 random megas, but the gap is getting bigger
>>58446750Respectfully bumping this
>>58447349Despite the odds, the Chespin I have is female
>>58447370Yeah all the mons you get from missions are Nature/Gender/Shiny locked for some reason and they decided to make Chespin female
>>58447370the kalos starters at the start are gender locked, female fennekin, fem chespin, male froakie
>>58446863Just get a mon that can use Thunderfang and you'll send them back to Brazil, or just use your shiny Ampharos/flaffy
Are the online battles actually fun or a clusterfuck? I find the gameplay pretty janky so I'm wondering if I'm missing out. (besides the mega stones which I don't care for)
>>58447570If you have the right moves, fun. And try to kill trainers too
>>58446750>>58447349I have one, at level 21 though. Do you want it?
>>58446863I welcome all the Gyarados.
>>58447654>Actually faced youFuck you (i wasnt in that battle)
Do you guys use regular sized Pokemon or alphas in battle royals? The big size seems like a detriment honestly.
>>58447677I'd say it depends on the mon but yeah, having an alpha starmie (no mega) has been quite bad for hitboxes.
>>58447696>depends on the monGoing to be rough figuring it out for each and everyone of them
>>58447631Yes please! I'll open the room back up. Code 5844 6750
>>58447714Psybeam is the wonkiest hitbox i've seen so far, so having a big mon would just increase your chances to get hit.
>>58447631>>58447718Thanks mate
>>58447741No thing bud, thanks for the shiny Venipede
Need to swap Flare Blitz out on Emboar. It hits like a fright train, sure, but it just fucking dies immediately after. It's like it has innate Reckless. Is Fire Punch or Heat Crash the best option?
>>58447776Heat Crash
>>58442820*runs away from you*
>>58447654This mode made me realize just how shit Raichu actually is. Won’t one shot Gyarados. Glad it’s getting a mega.
Would anyone please help me evolve my Haunter? Link code 4444 8888
>>58448658xister....I'm not gonna steal your haunter I'd give it back.

>>58448743>>58448728Lol, did my post inspire multiple haunter trades? Z is willing to return Yade's Gengar at 4444 8888
>>58448728>>58448764Okay, I can't find you. Respond to this post with a new code if you want to trade Gengars back
>>58448764Both 28 and 43 are my postsDon't know who I saw there with the level 26 gengar I didn't look lol.Assumed the original guy thought I'd steal his level 40 haunter so he canceled and quit
>>58448797Oh, haha. I was the original poster here >>58448658 . I traded a lv 25 haunter for another lv 25 haunter, and then that guy disconnected immediately and kept my gengar

>>58449270Thanks good sar now i can have my mega genigga
>>58449279I couldnt find anyone in your lobby, unless you got the other person first.
>>58449284If you mean me, no, I'm still waiting at 2478 9652
>>58449296Okay trading with you now, you needed both alakazam and gengar right?
>>58449306Yea
>>58449314That premier ball is quite something
>shiny flaffy while exploring>game gives a free shiny mareep anywaydoes anyone want it?
>>58449320Lol, thanks. Also thanks for the evo help
>>58449337If you give me a minute i'll need your help with my haunter (gonna feed it some exp to evolve)
>>58449343K, sure
>>58449349Okay, im on! Thanks for the help l
Why does everyone online have a Gyarados? Do people actually like it?I mean whatever, I'll take free kills by using the same amount of electricity that is formed by taking off a sweater.
>>58449359Thanks again
>>58449362rofl. Main reason is because fang moves are exceptionally busted, plus it has a considerably good SPDef (not that it matters much vs static mons) hehe
>>58449362Gyarados has always been one of the strongest mons that you can easily get. Ever since Gen 1 it’s been super powerful, and it still is here. Since abilities don’t exist anymore bar a few exceptions (aegislash, huge power adjustments, etc) Mega Gyarados is better too as it takes away the 4x weakness which was the Achilles heel of the base form.
i really want to play with Chikorita and Tepig, could someone who have already reached wild zone 20 please give me one male Tepig please? ;(
I don't think so, but do types double up for progress on the "X-Type User" Titles? Can I run 3 Ghosts and get the Ghost Type User gold in 34 matches?
>>58449451No, its counted by number of matches theyre present in
>>58441799>>58442065For trade evolution, just follow these link codes. They are still very active but be aware of some dicks not holding evolution items.
WAITwhere do you get a snorunt? I just remembered froslass is a core part of my team’s theme.
>>58449694Area 12
>>58449762Thanks. My cool japanese team will be complete with her even though mega emboar is a Chinese three kingdoms warlord
>>58449880Man i cant believe how low gible' catchrate is, holy fuck
>>58449961Yeah, all of the pseudo legendary have relatively low catch rate.
>>58450137and yet I caught Beldum with one Ultra Ball. Was I just crazy lucky or do Pokemon have different catch rates in this game?
>>58449497There's no expectation of touch trade for these is there? I have been quitting out immediately. Anyway Austin is based for setting this up.
Up
>>58441799can you trade pokemon holding mega stones online? I suck at battling people so I'm never gonna reach the rank to get the mega stones for my pokemon
>>58446913I got to K rank despite only being at X rank in the main story. Did it with a regular Gengar, Alpha Starmie and Pidgeotto krk
>>58451262Nope.
>>58451280Fuck, I hate this company
>>58451262You can do it eithout megas. It took me around 1 hour to do it. But you will need final evos and a decent moveset
just got my za copy, at what point do raids become available?
>>58451262my tip is run 2 pokes with electric moves and one with poison, avoid things weak to electric, fairy and grass
>>58451306You bought the wrong game.
>>58450295No, it's not touch trade but mainly for dex completion. I think the Japanese Pokemon community has been also using the same link codes on their own. Therefore you don't have to wait long to match up with somebody.
does anyone know where to find white and blue flower floette? I need them for a quest
>>58449362>Alpha Magikarp with hydro pump above the evolution level is an early game sidequest>Gyarados is available in the first batch of stones>the game basically forces you to use megasBy the way the people who abuse Gyarados in every Pokemon game are the ones who whine that they’re too easy
>>58451350Blue is near city hall, I think
Is it me or does Aegislash kind of suck? Should I go back and stay with Doublade with an eviolite instead?
>>58451381Aegislash seems like it’s total jank made for stealing kills in multiplayer rather than the single player mode doublade with eviolite is still eh though
>>58451402Sucks, one of my favorite mon and it's barely playable now with that new battle system, shame
>>58451314what do u mean
>>58442536just bushcamp it and wait for it to respawn if you mess up i got it in a quick ball
>>58451419There's no raids in this game.
>>58451435what is the coop format then?

What does substitute do?
>>58452109in za
>>58452109It creates a substitute doll that can be targeted. It seems pretty useless. Don't know if npcs fall for it. Maybe it can act as a wall? Haven't tried it yet.
>>58452164grim
>get to rank s>every match is -10 then +10 meaning I can’t level up >been at this 4 fucking hours I hate this fucking system I’m not rushing the game. If I even try my ass off there’s people stealing kills. I genuinely just think I’m too stupid.
Just reached rank K with my free mega absol, a fletchfinder and a meganium with no mega stone.
Can anyone help me evolve my kadabra?
>>58452422Use this bot instead, i tried it with a Spritzee and it worked.
>>58452280skill issue
>>58452478I don't think these are bots just general codes for people to do the same evolution mon.
>>58452486>>58452478Those are NOT bots, I got scammed using it, its humans, double check if they are sending the item
>>58452478Are you supposed to trade back when using these or keep the one they sent you?
>>58452501keep it if its shiny
So are the rogue megas just for the story? You can't repeat them in postgame like swsh/sv raids?
>>58452547was meant to be the new coop raids but gf scrapped it because of switch 2
>>58452422You still need someone? I want to evolve mine too.
>>58452280Bro how?There were matches where I'd get just 3 KOs and still get lots of bonus points. Others where I'd get nearly 200 points and 10 KOs.
>>58452854I usually just get 1 ko 10 points So I end in 4th, -10 If I run around picking up items it doesn’t count many points. Sometimes I get 10 points in the 0 to rank up but lose them again I’ve never had more than 30 points. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong- I don’t know what mons or moves to take, I am genuinely disabled so maybe I just don’t have the hand eye dexterity. Idk. Upsetting. I keep seeing people say how easy it is but I’m not seeing that.
Can someone help me evolve my spritzee? Link code will be my post number
>>58453143You have to pay me in sex first.
How valuable is speed really? Thinking I should just give everything 252 Hp and Atk/SpAtk unless the cooldown becomes instant Im not sure its worth the investment. Can anyone attest otherwise? Grinding out vitamins for a Froslass right now, and I know I'm gonna get 1 tapped if I go into Speed.
>>58453297Okay, where should we meet? I really want my fat pink bird pokemon
>>58453345Right outside Lumiose City.
>>58453376I wasn’t sure which fat bastard you were, so I just blew them all. Ready to trade?
>>58453433Wait how did you get outside the city? I can't figure it out. You blew everyone except me you dumb whore. Now you'll never get your bird.
How do u get an alpha Gogoat, im not seeing it in Zone 12

everyone's a tough guy until you have 5 floettes coming at you all at once while using moonblast
>>58454198I suppose it's better than 5 Florges coming at me wanting something else

Well, that was easy. Also fuck you Gyaradosniggers.

>>58455075He is barely visible on the ground honestly. I could sneak up on people and Earthquake+Thunder them (got Def EVs on it too so I won't die immediately) And yea Mega Starmie is Physical, Mega+Aqua Jet for guaranteed kill on low HP enemies.
