>>58442942Sidequest bros, can anyone tell me if they level you up much? I'm really enjoying doing sidequests, I'n at the wild area 5 part where the game lets you off the leash. Do sidequests overlevel you much? If so I'll just swap my party out
Battle zones and the "stealth" system are some of the most fucking miserable things to play in a videogame. Grinding points is gradually breaking me down, i'm a single thing happening away from just fucking calling it quits.
Mega Shards capping at 999 is really annoying they cap fast when you have all the Canari doll upgrades.
>>58442948So just quit
Why did they make it Rank K for the mega stone?
Did they seriously make it so you can't go back into the sewers? I wanted to catch a decent Litwick
>>58442953What do you use them for?
>>58442959K for Kek
I just wanna say i really like the way the pokedex looks in this game, it makes me wanna collect every pokemon, but the best part is megas getting their own dex with icons that have their respective mega stone below, can’t wait to complete it and hopefully they’ll add the missing megas in the DLCOnce im done playing Z-A i’ll go back to my older games and catch every pokemon with a mega in their original region just so i can move them up to ZA when it becomes compatible with Home
>>58442959When you get there you get to join the Kool Kalos Klub
How do trade evos work?I would like a Slurpuff.
>>58443053Gotta use Link Trade
>Day/Night cycle interrupting what I was doing>Aegislash feels terrible to use>Climbing the rooftops got boring/tedious really fast\>Construction zone jungle gyms are wack as shit>Real time combat makes fighting in narrow areas annoying and busy>Battling multiple mega evolution pokemon at once is a visual clusterfuck>Final boss was lameThose are the things I didn't like. Outside of all those little things, the real time combat's fun and the game's got a lot of modern Pokemon conveniences that make playing it less of a chore. I really like how catching pokemon works in general, it's just so fucking quick and snappy compared to the turn based games. They also let me catch a Gengar so that was cool. I dunno what else to say, it had things that annoyed me but it was still fun and enjoyable. Kind of like every other Pokemon game.
>Unlock Wild Area 15>Already caught everything but the Pumpkaboo line elsewhere in the cityVery anti-climatic
>>58443063Yeah I think they toned catching down in favour of battling a little too much in this game. I wish they kept in the LA style catching as well as making wild areas a little bigger. Wild Zone 6 is a good size though
>>58443058>gotta pay for online to tradelol fuck that. can you catch wild ones anyway?
>>58443092>can you catch wild ones anyway?Lol
I hate the purple banners on the side of buildings, every time I see one from the corner of my eye I think it's the light from of the Colorful Screw items
>Overleveled my team in my many attempts to catch Alphas
>>58443092>can you catch wild ones anyway? lol, lmao even _no [/spoilers]
So you need to do all of mable’s stuff to get 50, right?
I got a female charmander and have to reset my entire save file if I want a male one. Fuck you gamefreak, genuinely hope theres a fire or mass shooting in their office. Worthless sub human filth work there. Im so fucking done with this shit. Mandatory auto save is disgusting
>>58442947They just give you a lot of money and useful items
>>58443132Autism
>>58442947They give a pittance of XP. Most of the time, they give you items, money, a small laugh, and also sometimes a new Pokemon.I am also doing a lot of the sidequests as I can... and I AM overleveled by about 6 levels. Then again, I'm also destroying every Mega Crystal I can find, and my sidequesting has me running circles around the city sometimes mauling and/or catching stuff along the way. But sidequests won't make you LAUGHABLY overleveled. Some of my party members still actually faint even when faced with the NPCs' pkmn.>>58442942Does anyone know how to reliably get a 'new' Pokemon to spawn in a wild zone? I want to shiny hunt Absol. M-Maybe even the alpha one (though I found its location in the rentry). Is it as simple as whalloping the current one and coming back after some arbitrary period of time?I got the Litleo Alpha to respawn after going into the building at one end of the park it spawns in and then coming back out. Does going into buildings in general re-roll the pkmn?
>>58443132Uh oh, tantrum!
>Yfw AZ Floette is treated like Spiky Pichu and Cosplay Pikachu and isn’t allowed in HOMEHow mad are we all gonna be?
>>58443148>>58443141Thanks bros
Anyone looking to do the trade evo request?
>>58442994You can get in from another spot, there'll be a sidequest guy right at the new entrance
>>58443116I kept a rotating roster of like 15 pokemon and I was still above the curve
>>58443132No? Never mind the wild ones, you’re just wrong.
Is Slurpuff the only Pokemon you can't find in the wild? I know you can find Gengar and others in Wild Zone 20.
Holy fuck a trainer just swapped a Pokemon on me. I never see that in the mainline titles>>58442915Fuck didn't even consider how they made stance change function in this game. Maybe I should swap my Honedge out or keep it Doublade.
Do I have to complete the dex to get Zygarde, honestly I just want to drop this game and forget it exists until the DLC comes out.
>>58443250No, just the story.
>>58443215YOUR wrong nigga.
>>58443272You have a back up save RETARD. You don’t need to restart.
Pretty sure the Charmander is gender locked anyways.
>>58443166Please tell me they wouldn’t actually do this?
>>58443166>>58443300I don't think you'll be able to transfer Pokemon out of Z-A for whatever reason.
>>58443313We already know that it'll get HOME integration next year, the only ever said that pokemon brought in to ZA can't go back to previous games.
>>58443324Oh okay
>>58443324Do we know if Az Floette is programmed into home? Can we use its mega freely? Would be a huge waste if it was stuck in the game
>>58443335No idea on that.

>>58443287Theres no save file settings. It auto saves immediately when you get the kanto starter, I cant
>>58443350Not spoon feeding you any more because you act like a whiny retarded niggerfaggot
>>58442942just found a alpha larvitar, i'm already using tyrantrum but i'm tempted to swap him out
When's Eviolite?
>>58443392Pretty late in the game behind a starmie sidequest
>>58443389What level you at? You'd be stuck with a hopping silver turd until level 55.
>>58443382Your so full of shit
>>58443402highest is 52, the larvitar is 35
>>58443400Damn, might swap out Doublade for Scizor or Excadrill, in that case, if anons saying Aegislash is clunky are to be believed.>>5844340852 is pretty close to 55, maybe keep using Tyrantrum for another 3 levels and swap?
Can you get an alpha tyrunt/tyrantrum? I'd guess if there is one it's in area 20.
>>58443430The one you revive can be Alpha, but its a low chance and saves immediately after you get it, so no Soft Reset. get a lot of money, back up your save, or use an infinite money cheat and buy hundreds of fossils.
What are some good moves for mega greninja? Is mixed attack the play in this game? It feels nice to have a range of close and far-range moves.
this game makes you have to break a lot of learned pokemon behaviors. like wdym solar beam is actually good in this
>>58443429Doublade does fine even without eviolite, eviolite just makes it better. The problem with aegislash is that it plays its swap animation every time it changes stance so it eats way more hits than it should.
>shiny quest isn't a gimme like in arceusOkay I like that its not a freebie and therefore technically worthless but how the fuck do I fish for a Shiny Mareep when only 2 spawn at a time?How do I refresh spawns faster?Arceus threw shinies at me like they were con merch, but 16 hours in I havent seen or heard a single oneI was hoping shiny hunting would be harder in this one and I wont be able to enjoy the laborious grind of doing so until I finish this fuckshitass quest
>>58443471Go to the rooftop for the freebie bro
Is it autistic to name my guys after characters from my own book?
>>58443486yes but who cares, its your game and freedom of expression is based
>>58443474fugggyou saved me from the funniest solution of getting a genuine one the hard wayIm surprised I haven't bumped into it already by this point
Alphas are a total liability in the online mode. Yes please, just make yourself a bigger target for my beams and AoE moves.
>>58443471from what I hear, the Shiny Charm is the only way to actually increase the odds, with the main method being to reload an area over and over because shinies are remembered and not despawned when you do that.>>58443486Yes, but a based sorta autistic.
>>58443471no way you tought you had to shiny hunt a mareep for the quest
>>58443463>outrage is free>dragon rush is good>stone edge is good>fucking fly is good>earthquake is good as alwaysIt's like they want me to use the pseudos and nothing else
>>58443494Nintendo's greatest enemy fixed this issue by giving Alphas more HP.
>>58443510>Fly is goodI kinda figured that 2-turn moves would be a lot better in an active battle system, I imagine its basically a tech to dodge and damage?
>>58443521Yes, and since you become untargetable the opposing Pokemon can't use a move to defend themself.
>>58443500no way I thought there was a roof to go on in the first wild area. To be fair they made getting shinies easier every game, so I thought this was the games way of saying "just go grab me one real fast okay thanks"I thought the game was just cool like that>>58443499does flying to the area entrance reset everything? I'm guessing its still 1 in 4000 nu-gen statistics like other recent games. I'm also guessing that I'm locked out of shiny charm until I do online trades for evos too, right?
>>58443510yeah i've been running bounce gyarados which is crazy because its just fly with para chance
>>58443521It has a bit of a slow startup but yeahDragon rush, bounce, heavy slam, and flying press also launch you high enough to dodge attacks but their animation is much shorter so the timing is tighter
>>58443536Didn't even consider the AI had the same restriction the player does in that regard, Damn, so the opponent's only option is to run or swap.
>>58443548or protect, detect idk
>>58443538shiny charm comes from completing all of the pokemon research missions
>>58443538Yes, flying back to the same area will reset everything inside the area, except shinies, those will persist. So people will keep flying to the same zone for like 10-60 minutes, check in side for any shinies, then repeat.
>>58443547>>58443536Once I realized 2-turn moves could be good, I realized Gyarados can actually use Bounce without Z-Moves again.
>>58443552so yes, fuck. suppose i'll have to link up with some anon in a thread then in order to finish it.Arceus had items to get around this and I thought they kept that mechanism
>>58443566you don't need to link up with anyone. i'm at like lvl 30/50 research just playing through the game and i'm only d rank
>>58443572There's a mission that requires you to get a trade evolution via trading. If all missions are required, you need to link up.
>>58443555does it make a sound like the other games when it renders in? Areas are small so it shouldn't be too much trouble combing the grasses and alcoves
>>58443577theres probably an ingame trade for this
>>58443563Corbeau spammed it on me.
>>58443566PLA was a game made with online as an afterthought and no plans for DLC, LZA is a game made with day one DLC and content locked behind seasonal pvp rewards
>>58443578It will make a sound, but only if you're close. This is theorized to prevent you from hearing a shiny on the rooftop that you can't even reach yet. That's why people enter the areas every so often to check.
>reach rank A in online>no special rewardwow thank you gf
>Rogue Mega Barbaracleanime tier fight
>>58443617I heard the shiny noice through the building where there was a shiny Fletchling on top of a lamp post. Sometimes you hear them far and sometimes only from close its weird.
>>58443599"Day 1 DLC" is kind of a farce since you just get some costume bits and the actual DLC doesn't come out till next year. Announcing DLC before the game is out feels like a shitty move though.>>58443617well thats considerate at least
>>58442942Can someone tell me if there's an easy way to level during the story? I found a Cleffa I want to evolve and use but its' Level 13 and I'm at the point in the story where everything averaging the mid 40s- early 50s
>>58443644Probably go to area with lot of mons and just catch them all or kill soem high level alpha. And farm the mega rocks and sell them for the xp candies at the mega store.
>>58443644Just grind exp candies by killing alphas.
>>58443644there is exp power ups but it makes the game way too easy.most people should max capture and megastones first since people want to explore and have a balance exp/party
>tfw when urban development planning has decided your street will be a designated Pokemon shitting streetI don't know how there public weren't making more of an uproar over this.
>>58443617I heard the shiny jingle and I felt like I was losing my fucking mind until I found that it was a Weedle sitting on a tree branch a block or two away, it feels inconsistent as hell
>>58443644Just chuck it in your party and they'll catch up quick, done this with a couple of shinies. Repeatedly losing a difficult fight certainly helped too seeing as you keep exp and don't lose money anymore
>>58443657if you keep playing you will understand
>>58443657I mean, we meet several people who're either annoyed by or outright don't like Wild Zones specifically because of that in quests, like the Lady who's upset she lost her ring because the Cemetary got turned into one. I think most just understand that because of the surge of Wild Pokemon showing up it's basically the only way to stop from just overrunning Lumiose wholesale
>>58443657I mean they tried to storm city hall but you told the patriots to stand back and stand down
The wild zone with the alpha houndoom is actually really funny in context>yeah we made a nature reserve but we let some pitbulls run free inside it
>>58443676Lol
>>58442948The stealth system for trainers is miserable I agree. Im not sure why they couldnt have just made it so you start on neutral ground if a trainer spots you rather than when how you get caught they gain priority.
>>58443681This nigga got bit by a velvet fire hippo skull emoji
>>58443599>PLA was a game made with online as an afterthought and no plans for DLCBro, PLA had DLC.
>>58443659I heard it outside of the building the has the poison/paralyse side quest and could not for the life of me find the source. I theorise that it was a Budew on the roof that fled. Seeing as shinies are persistent maybe someone will make a tool to show any that have spawned in your save
>>58443657>power grid infrastructure gets overtaken by a bunch of aggressive metallovores and super molesI'm sure nothing bad will happen
>>58443684Zygarde is in control. -L
>>58443224What are you chatting about? Trainers withdraw Pokemon and send a new one in all the time in the mainline games?
Does Drampa spawn in the day or night?
>>58443717I've only seen it during the day, at night there's a bunch of clefairy instead
Has anyone noticed that if you get close enough to a wall that your character disappears, you'll stop making footstep sounds? What a stupid oversight.
If your pokemon and an opponent's pokemon both use quick attack at the same time, they'll both dodge each other and no damage will be done kek
How the fuck do I get up here
how do i find higher rank people than me in the battle area? is it just random?
>>58443688He means paid DLC, not a content update
Two things bother me about the battle system in this game: not being able to roll while locked on and not being able to use moves unless targeting something. I understand why the second one is the way it is but it still feels clunky especially when you have AoE moves around your Pokemon that don't need a target.
>>58443720Literally after I pressed send I got Drampa during the day lol. He just refused to spawn for my entire playthrough.
>>58443727Later in game you unlock rotom swing jump
The last Froakie scaffolding challenge was so bad I yelled nigger out loud at 9AM. I hope my neighbors didn't hear meWhere do I find other Flabebe colors? I can only find the red one in Wild Area 3.
>>58443731Higher rank trainers seem to hang out on the rooftops
>>58443717In Wild zone 19, he spawns during the day inside the gazebo
>>58443743>skip half the course with a floaty jump>dont even make the landing, just fling myself at the barriers>get close enough to trigger the finishhahaha eat shit and git gud, I did it first time
I'm rank D and im almost done with all the research lol only Battles, megas and pokedex left.
>skipped all the way from V to F ranko-okay...
hot take: I like these experimental games more than any of the mainline series and I wouldn't be sad if it stayed like this
>bad guy mad about loan of 100k>my character makes that amount every night this whole section of the story felt like it was written by AI
>>58443778Yeah but he charged interest as well.
>>58443767I feel like that's not even a hot take anymore.
Finally got the Orange Boy for NPC quest
>>58443778Breh were you going to shell out 1 mill right there?
>>58443767i liked arceus more because i liked the act of discovering wild pokemon a LOT and this game has less of it and in a less satisfying way because theres no real natural ecosystem.when i first found togetic in the wild in PLA it blew my mind
>>58443767I prefer the mainline games. Getting swarmed by hostile pokemon in the legends games is cancer.It's a nice change of pace but I would rather replay scarlet or shield than ZA or Arceus
>>58443795>the act of discovering wild pokemonThat's literally all PLA had, I consider it the most unfinished Pokemon game of them all. I don't give a shit about catching Pokemon if there's nothing to actually do with them. Going long chunks of the game without actually using any of my Pokemon bored me to death.
can alphas spawn outside of the guaranteed ones? like there’s a map of the alphas, like sharpedo is always in his little river, but can anything randomly spawn as alpha? I really want an alpha drampa.
>>58443813Yeah should be 1% or something but i feel like it's upped.
>>58443657>be a lumiose city resident>last week my dad got hit by falling rebar from one of those retarded construction worker's dipshit onstacle courses>try to go to the hospital to visit him but the way has been blocked by 5 giant boulders and 3 piles of toxic sludge>as I head home I find that my apartment has been designated as a zone for giant sentient trashbags and aggressive hellhoundsI have to fucking get out of here man Im going to fucking lose it
>>58443810thats fair, for me the exploration and discovery are by far my favorite part of pokemon so having an entire game based around catching and surveying natural ecosystems was heaven for me. it felt like a non-rail pokemon snap at times
>>58443747thanks
Forgot florges was a stone evolution...lol
Why is the catch rate in this game so low? I just spent 10 minutes trying to get a level 16 Eevee, and then the day changed.
>>58443841You need to boost it with the Canary dolls
Do Starmie only spawn in area 16 after completing that one sidequest but before picking up the item? Fucking weird they're listed as normal encounters if that's the case
>>58443826At the end of the day it's just how I feel, I'd be fine if they made another PLA even if it wouldn't interest me personally since I know other people would like it a lot. I think there could be a really great game that had PLA's catching/discovery system with a healthy amount of battling mixed in, though it'd have to be something far less intrusive than ZA's battle zones.
Is there a way to find an Alpha of the Kanto starters? I know they spawn in Wild Zone 20, but I've never seen an Alpha version of them.
I did not realise clefairy could fly
>>58443813here is an example. Dritini is on a roof, it can be alpha. hang close by. when night or day is about to change, save before the time changes. when you reload, the dritini can be alpha. reset till alpha. save before engaging alpha. captured? nice. failed? restart. same with a larvitar on a roof
>>58443795PLA made catching pokemon fun to me when I usually got bored of it pretty fast in older gamesZA did the same for me with combat, catching feels only a little better than PLABoth games feel like "Wouldnt it be cool if we made a game like this? I really want there to be an area outside of the city that is wilderness but I know its not the case. If there was the rest of Kalos in this quality it'd be Kino. All it needs to make me not sick of the city is change the music the further you get into the game.
is there a rooftop bagon? i saw rooftop goomy, larv, dratini
>>58443841Carryover from Arceus where catching was the entire game, and had a whole set of balls with higher catch rates that aren't in this game
>>58443851SHould be. Everything in the wild should have a chance to be alpha.
>>58443841You need to use better balls. You can also attempt catches without bringing them to zero HP, the rate STILL goes up the lower they get/if they receive the usual statuses that increase the likelihood of capture.[/spoiler]Also, if you got this game digitally, check your e-mail. There is a Mystery Gift code in there for 100 fucking Pokeballs.[/spoiler]
holy fuck Corbeau is a fucking manlet lmao
>>58443866Hanging myself! I haven't fucked up a spoiler in three years.
>>58443755I didn't have floaty jump yet, I'm only rank W.Anyway where are the Flabebe colors?
>>58443743on roofs
>>58443841Its annoying but I like itI like that I can use failed catches to stall out a fight or cancel their attack if I want to give a move another second or two to charge
>>58443861Bagon is area 18 pretty late in the game, along with a fixed alpha salamencePoor beldum is only available near the very end in lysandre labs but at least they buffed its catch rate to not be complete shit
Do the cafes increase friendship? Because I can't imagine how Cafe Ultimo would justify that price.
>>58443866>You need to use better balls.Muh balltism
>>58443881yes. i keep trying to get umbreons but they all end up evolving into sylveons
what the fuck?
>>58443886Unlearn their fairy moves
>>58443767Completely agree. Legends Arceus and this game are easily the 2 best Pokemon games by Switch and it's not even close>>58443863Is that true?
>>58443886Take the fairy attack off
Trying to trigger rain sucks ass
Simisage just doesn't learn any physical grass attacksI don't feel good about dropping him from my team but there's more to life than vine whip and leech seed
>>58443843I have the level 3 one, that was the first one I maxed out. It doesn't help in the slightest.
>>58443909do you not have the bullet seed tm? multihit moves are pretty good in this
i miss her, bros
>>58443863I caught everything in Arceus with a regular pokeball, and it was totally doable. The key difference is that backshots don't give a higher chance anymore. It doesn't feel like hurting or statusing a Pokemon does anything. I'll get something paralyzed and down to a sliver of health and it'll still be at 1 chevron. Even if it's a Pokemon 60 levels below me.>>58443866>You need to use better balls.shit game design desuIt's always been easier to use better balls, but you could still reasonably do everything with a pokeball. But now, it's nearing impossible to get anything outside of the starting area with one.
>>58443920I don't. Have you seen what they did to the Furisode Girls? She was spared.
>Garbodor FINALLY learns poison jabIve waited years for this moment
>>58443926the only balls worth a damn are quick balls, repeat balls, dusk balls and ultra balls
>>58443932But then the catching is too easy and you can just pitch one at any Pokemon to immediately get it. There's no good middle ground and none of the other Pokemon games were ever like this.
>shell bell is better than leftovers
>>58443927lmao nigga what are you doing
>>58443952This guy has been spamming for years.
the ice wild zone was some of the most stressful shit in this game so far for mei'm just trying to catch a delibird without it running away and theres a giant abomasnow up in my ass and tons of snovers all using icy wind at the same time
>>58443959That Zone is the only time I actually blacked out from the trainer taking too much damage
I have seen literally nearly every shiny spawn at and around area 3 besides the one I'm looking for.
>>58443872dont hunt for them, just keep an eye out, you will get them all eventually
Froslass is my favorite new mega, I got an XL one and it's like having a Dynamax pokemon, it's fucking huge
Got an Alpha Squirtle
>>58444083Is it shiny doe
Is there any new Ribbons?
>>58443926>The key difference is that backshots don't give a higher chance anymoreThey do. You can see ^^^ going one more when mon is not looking at you
Why the FUCK does Mega Chandelure have heterochromia it ruins the whole thing for me
>>58443727You can angle your roll from the left platform onto it. I don't think its intended but it's cool
>>58443929Not only Poison Jab but also Metal claw.
>>58444088Unfortunately no. I used up all my luck getting 7 shinies relatively quickly. I'll probably use PKHex to make some of my Pokemon shiny though.
Wifi General is slow so anyone need a touch trade for a trade evo? I mostly care about the research so I need you to send a trade evo as well.
Post trainersI feel the need to keep the MZ jacket on at all times.
LETS GOOO
>>58444097Only outside of battle, and only on some Pokemon.
>>58444127Grats anon, please rub your luck on me I want a shiny Absol...
Emulator fag here. I have 220 mons and I'm missing a few trade evos. I've found an alpha Machamp (Zone 20), Steelix (Zone 5 during a Mable's Xerneas sidequest) and a two Gengars (one during story and another one in Zone 20).Does anyone know if Scizor, Slowking and Alakazam spawn as well?
>>58444132I do believe you're fucked. They don't spawn in the wild.
>>58444127hey anon lemme help you evolve it :^)
Anyone done with all th Eeveelutions and wouldnt mind touch trading them all with me? This Eevee aint spawning and even when it does it doesn't stay in the ball.
>>58444170ill do it for a shiny
>>58444176I have an extra Skiddo
>>58444132I was wondering the same thing but honestly I'm not too hopeful, and as far as I know even if you add a pokemon through PKhex it doesn't count as a caught, right?
>>58444169I do wish I didn't have to link trade it. All my friends aren't autistic so don't have the game
>>58444132feels good not to be poor. imagine caring this much, playing this much, but not having $70 for a game
>>58444191you get the link cable post game just finish it
>>58444180It does. I used it in SV to complete the dex and it works just fine, but I don't know if PkHex is compatible with ZA
>>58444176Gross behavoir
>>58444196I'm from Venezuela, what do you want me to do? I didn't choose to be born in this shithole.
>>58443823Even if your home isn't assimilated into a wild zone you still have a chance of your street turning into a warzone every night.Why the fuck would anyone live in this theme park of a city jesus christ
you already know there are going to be doujins about Taunie "paying off" her debt

Is there breeding in this game? I'm not spending half a day grinding encounters to find a female eevee like BW2.
>>58442994>Did they seriously make it so you can't go back into the sewers? I wanted to catch a decent LitwickYou can get into it from area 5, there's a side quest there
>>58444216No.
>>58444216yes
>>58444216maybe
>>58444216i don't know
>>58444216Can you repeat the question?
YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME NOW
>Society of Battle ConnoisseursAre they poking fun at compfags? kek
>>58444132>>58444148Alakazam definitely spawns in the wild. I saw one in Area 20.
How do I get bottle caps?
Current team. Would've used Abra but the fucker teleported.
>>58444297I see Quilladin is as ugly as ever
>>58444216Brown Hex MILFs need BWC breeding
do all the trade evos spawn in wz20?
>>58444318Looks like it.
I don't care much about shinies so it's not a big deal but damn I haven't had any luck with shinies in my 50 hours of gameplay, I only found 2 shitmons, spinarak and bunnelby
>>58444297Type composition sucks but I have an autistic need to only use Pokémon with new Mega's for my first run, otherwise I'd use Bois over Scolipede. Elecktross and Victreebel are on the chopping block if I find a Dratini/another bro with a new mega.
>>58444325Go to the alpha litleo stairs and make something hold your button to go down and do that for 30 mins while afk
>>58444148>>58444132Keep re-spawning the alphas under the tower, because I just saw Alakazam there myself.
>>58444263>>58444408so only Scizor and Slowking are unobtainable on emulator so far?
>>58444445Google said that Slowking can spawn there, so i guess everything can.
>>58444445I'm gonna keep cycling and see what I find. It feels as if anything can spawn under here.
>>58442942Guys am I not playing the game right? Because catching Pokemon feels AWFUL in Z-A. I have all three dolls that boost capture rate and I STILL can't catch anything.Even when the chevrons ^ are at 3, the Pokemon breaks out the vast majority of the time.In battle, you can only throw 3 Pokeballs before the wild Pokemon becomes resistant to them (X).And if you reduce its HP to 0, you have only 1 chance to capture it. 1.Why do we only get 4 total chances to capture a Pokemon when the odds already feel so low?And again that is WITH the charms! Like am I missing something?I've tried paralyzing with Thunder Wave, but I genuinely believe it doesn't impact capture rate.What am I doing wrong here? What am I missing? Why does nothing stay in the ball?
>>58444502sounds like a regular pokemon game to me
>>58444502Did you get the Canari charms? I prioritized the catching boosts.
Aside from the shiny stone in the OP, I also found a shiny stone right here on the rooftop, is it RNG?
>>58444502You do know the resistance wears off after like 20 seconds rightI don't know, it seems to vary drastically between Pokemon, I don't know if maybe progressing through the game is giving a hidden boost. If there was a shiny or alpha you really wanted I could see it being frustrating I guess.
>>58444541>If there was a shiny or alpha you really wanted I could see it being frustrating I guess.You can just save and exit as soon as they break out of the ball.
>>58444132Alakazam can spawn in area 20, and I think the Galarica Crown is just a use stone when you get the Galarian Slowpoke.Scizor and the two gen 6 fairies are still unobtainable, though
>>58444559Scizor can also spawn in zone 20

How do you force non-wild zone pokemon to respawn? Been sitting at a bench and teleporting across the map but the spot I'm trying to farm is still empty.
>fight 10 cunts in a row with no items allowed>well done, here is your reward >$2000I'm going to circumcise someone with my fucking teeth
>>58444664Feels like no one knows yet
Jesus fuck Mega Excadrill murders everything.
>>58444664Try killing a bunch of shit since that's how you force stuff to spawn in wild zones.
>>58444699nice man
>>58444699male?
>>58444664From my experience "expired" Pokémon (ie fainted, fled) can't be forced, you just need to wait real time, 5-10 minutes it feels like. Otherwise the Pokémon will be rerolled by fast traveling and walking back, have done that to get certain genders/sizes
Gen 1 trade evos feel pretty common under this tower but the gen 2 stuff must have really low odds.
>>58443851I saw an alpha Charmander but forgot to save before trying to catch it
Can you not charge phone color?
can you mega evolve more than one pokemon per battle?
>>58444737yes
>>58444737no
>poison-type specialist sends out a GyaradosTHAT IS NOT HOW IT WORKS, I WASN'T PREPARED FOR THIS
>>58444518the post literally says anon got all three dolls that boost capture rate KEK wtf
>>58444703Thx bro >>58444704Yeah
>Trying to catch skarmAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
How the hell do I send my entire party out at once for a Photo?
>>58444800Sitting at a bench is the only way afaikWeird regression from Arceus
>>58444799Just deal with the pyroars, climb the ladder and throw one single ultra ball after knocking it out, that's all I did
when do I get AZ's floette?
>>58444817You got lucky, the catch rate is low.I was also trying to get an Alpha one under the tower. Just caught it though.
>>58444593I must have resetted 200 times and not seen a single scizor, or any trade item evolutions for that matter
>>58444851Might be false info then.
>>58444851joe merrick's website says that the only way to get scizor is to evolve scytherI'm not sure is this accurate or not
EV training seems super fast. I get max attack evs with the power item within like 10 minutes of random battles.
>>58444882Is there a way to reset evs?
>>58444888You can mass buy the reducing berries at a stall.
>>58444888Yeah supposedly in the post game you can spend mega shards on an item that wipes evs.
>>58444872information there is usually correct, which sucksguess I'll wait for pkhex
How will you handle team prep for the DLC? >Catch new team in DLC>Stop playing once story is over and carry on with it>Be autist and competitive prep your team to sweep it on launch.
>>58444938Depends on how the DLC works. if its designed to take place after the main story, keep my party and make small tweaks. If its more like Isle of Armour and expected to be done alongside the main story, probably restart.
This Sushi high roller quest is gonna fuck me up isn't it
Where do you get the other two starters' mega stones?
>>58444938If the DLCs are formatted like the previous games, just use my current team as there’s not enough battles and story to warrant making a new team
>>58444970pretty sure its from the stone emporium in the post game.
>>58444949They said it was a post game storyI don't know what I'll do. If it's post game I don't know if starting a new team is reasonable, but I'd like to use Raichu X and Meowstic. I'm using an Absol so maybe it'll get to come along
>>58444989Don't know why I didn't think to check there, thanks
>>58444989I mean I ran around a corner while exploring outside the wild zone and got immediately jumped by 3 level 20 Scraggy and a level 40 Scrafty hanging out in a back alley so it's dangerous in general.
>>58444938My only team prep will be having two alpha shiny Raichu on hand for both megas. Everything else will come as it does.
I'm not convinced the gen 2 trade evos can spawn under this tower. I haven't even seen Steelix.
>Get mandatory quest to fight wild Gengar>Leave and come back at night>Catch both in Duskballs.Now if only I wasn't a new mega only autist.
What is the point of giving pseudo legendaries three stages of evolutions if you only ever get to catch them at the very end of the game in every single game they show up in?Why won't they let you get beldum early for once goddamn it I want to use it for the campaign
>>58445107>What is the point of giving pseudo legendaries three stages of evolutions if you only ever get to catch them at the very end of the game in every single game they show up in?Scarlet and Violet had them very early on
My first shiny of the game! I named her Yumina and she'll take the sixth slot in my story team
>>58445128That's a good one, enjoy.
How the fuck do you catch the area 16 frog. That FRIGGER runs the moment it renders in
>>58445148Just don't run up to it. Walk slowly.
So, is the game fun?
>>58445148Theres a free quest for a Froakie doe
>>58445166For a bit but I've been having trouble forcing myself to continue playing it for the last 3 days. Guess I'll boot it up right now and just start playing again though.
>>58442999buying stuff at quasar, mainly megastones and then exp and so
>Catch Goomy in rain>Day about to change >Pour lot of candy into getting it a Goodra quick>Immediatly run into Alpha Goodra after and catch it>Go into rare candy staff for Alpha Goodra just before time changeMy impatience costed me.
>>58445166I think so. Its not as fun as Arceus which seems kinda crazy but it still has its charm, and the new battle system is really something new and interesting.If you absolutely despise being railroaded through tutorials and stuff though I would avoid it though, its pretty egregious with that
>>58442942Does anyone know how to make the Ryujinx connect locally with another switch?
>>58443129yes, the best level you can get with single player only is 46-47 (which gets you all the TMs at least)
>>58445179Did the initial excitement of a new game wear off, or is it something else with the game?>>58445195Could the new battle system carry the game? I imagine the railroading ends at some point, right? Although I'm not sure how much a game taking place in one city can really open up. Even if they can be fairly interesting settings.
I guess the screws are limited and you have to find them all just to unlock the plushies so later i have to check a guide and 1 by 1 check if i got that one or not.
>about to throw a ball to catch the alpha Pyroar at wild zone 17>BATTLE ZONE DEACTIVATED>my character stops crouching so they all start chasing meI FUCKING LOVE THIS GAME HAHAHAHATHAT MECHANIC ISN'T ANNOYING AT ALL
>>58442942Serebii days bottle caps are available in quasartico and za infinite. I assume both are endgame things but does that mean you can trade bottle caps for mega shards?
>>58445284No, it means you can trade mega shards for bottle caps.
>>58445052I got a Steelix, just not from area 20
>>58445292Thanks anon
>>58445297Yeah it's a story catch
>>58445246I wouldn't say the new battle system carries the game but it does save it from being excessively mediocre
Best way to farm seed of mastery? Any ideas?
Who do I put last? I've been rotating Tyrantrum and Excadrill.I really wanna use more Kalos Pokemon but it's hard to find a good fit. Excadrill covers electric and fairy types pretty well... Tyrantrum is cooler.
>>58445340area 14just earthquake everything
>>58445166If you’re an open world normalfag no.If you’re a person that actually likes video games yes.Its still insane to me how anyone can think PLA was a good game when every moveset was exactly the same for every pokemon and there was virtually no battles to use the half baked battle system on.In short, most of the complaints are from people mad that its not an open world game since the size of the zone is probably about twice as big as the size of one zone in PLA but way more labyrinthe like.That being said, as someone who prefers turn based games this games battle system is not only new and a unique take that plays like old mmorpg pet jobs but it is far more interesting than PLAs slop turn based system. I absolutely hate anyone who praises PLAs battle system because coming from any traditional pokemon game would tell you how much it fucking sucks.
>>58445363Thanks anon
I need advice, I have this team right now but I still feel like I’m getting bodied by alphas and online matches, any suggestions for how I could switch up the team, especially for the megas? I have other mons around the same level like Hawlucha and Goomy and the story Absol; plus the alpha Sharpedo and Manectric and access to the alpha Magikarp for Gyarados
>>58445148Go to the other entrance where you can directly run up to it and chuck a ball as soon as you can
>>58445340Alphas
>>58442942Are there EVs in this game or did Grit come back? Or is there some other system?
>>58445475EVS
>>58445475E.V's are back but its the damage system from Arceus with speed barely doing anything so it's a bulky build meta.
>getting cucked out of the big tournament with all of the previous leaders for more mega raidswhat the FUCK NOOOOOOOO
>>58445567You get to play it afterwards since she keeps harassing you
>>58445128>go to eat after this>almost immediately hear another shiny sound>it's a Patrat>so surprised I just watch ti for a few seconds>try and approach>it dodges the first ball>try to throw a second but then it runs away and despawns
>>58445626Shinies get auto saved in this game so you could've just closed the game there
>Flabebe stylist lady gives you a quest later one where all five of her Floette fight you at onceThey should've done this more in the story honestly, multi-mon trainer fights were more common in PLA desoite that game having a fraction of the trainer fights
>game is called Z through A>skips more than half of the alphabet
>>58445642Good to know but considering it was a Patrat I'm not too bothered about the loss.Considering how easy shinies are to get these days losing one doesn't even feel that bad so I'll probably not even reset in future
>>58445456>alphasWill-O-Wisp/Toxic>OnlineFast charging moves like ExtremespeedArea moves like Earthquake
I thought Mega Falinks looked dumb but then I noticed the lower middle one is struggling to hold up the big one and now I find it kind of endearing.
Man, taking or being given AZ's Floette is gonna feel even worse than cucking Kieran out of Ogerpon.
>>58445733Middle guy is this meme
So what's the deal with shiny hunting in this game? Is there a set distance where spawns reset or should I be killing wild mons? Planning to farm out a centipede and wondering what the tech is.
>>58445782fly to the zone over and over for an hour then check the spawns
What’s the best way to deal with these poison looking piles around the city?
>>58445816water moves
>>58445816Water moves
>>58445782Depends. You can bench reset, do this if it's applicablehttps://litter.catbox.moe/d9lk3k.mp4Or just keep reflying to the area and hope you get what you want
>>58445816psychic works as well
>>58445832nta but does that really work for shiny hunting?I've been trying to get a shiny venipede in that zone with no luck and I was wondering what is the fastest way to do it
>>58445862it rerolls the gender so yeah it works
>>58445862It works, it's how I got mine. Every time it disappears and reappears it's a brand new alpha. I regret not saving the video but I got so excited my brain just shut off.
>>58445866I see. I'll try it later thenthanks anon
>>58445870this gives me hopethanks anon!
Found while Scyther hunting
>>58445889That's a big tree.
>bench resetting for mawile>nearby carbinks' cries sounds like the shiny effectMindwrecking
Honestly Meganium feels REALLY strong. Setting up teamwide Screens rocks, and having access to an HP draining STAB is more of a boon than ever on top of Fairy just being a generally good type all around.
>>58445889Damn you even caught him in a premier ball im jealous
>>58445832To add on to this you can just leave your game open while you AFK and let the game reset for you every 8 minutes as it goes through the day/night cycle.
>>58442942can you do anything in cafes? or are they just places to stop time talk to NPCs and pick up items in? just went into cafe le wow and didn't have any idea what to expect.
man what the fuck is a good dark type pokemon I don't want to deal with absol but I feel like I have not run into ANY dark types
I got in this guy's cart lol
>>58445963I don't know, houndoom? sableye?
>>58445832>>58445870damn, I feel like an idiot reflying to the area everytime. With or without shiny charm btw?
>>58443743where is the last froakie location? I just did the second one and it's about to be night time.
>>58446004Without.
>>58443743>The last Froakie scaffolding challenge was so badbro just don't run all the froakie things are completable by walking. there's one mandatory roll on the last one.
>>58445963Tyranitar
Just got to rank C and finally caught a Dratini so swapping in a new bro at end game. Haven't found the power anklet yet but I got a Bracer from a sidequest so will catch him up that way.
>>58446064I completely forgot that fucker turns dark.
>>58443900what is rain for?
>>58446137Goomy spawn and Goodra evolution
Ok i just learned if i want alphas to spawn i need to catch 1 of every species in the zone, anyways where can i get a king’s rock? I wanna catch another one and evolve it into slow kingWill there be any way to get more galar slowpokes?
Skarmory is rough to catch
>>58446281Literally 10x harder than it should be when Pyroars are sniping you with earth power from below
How many trade evos do you need to get to complete the trade evo research tasks?
>>584463471/3/5
anyone figured out how vivillon patterns work yet? just evolved a spewpa and it had the marine pattern instead of meadow
>>58446379Do you need every research task to get the shiny charm?
>>58446380Is it not based on your location
>>58446389Maybe? I don't know how long the winning battles and smashing crystals tasks go on for by right now it looks like it
>>58446398Should be, I got the same pattern I got in X.
Alphas are huge, damn
>>58446398nope, just tested with two more spewpa but this time they were both meadow, they also had different natures but were in the same location where i evolved the first one. irl location wouldn't have made sense anyway, unless they changed them, since i'm in the UK and we had the garden pattern in XY.
E.V spreads after item usage are inconsistent, do we not get non item E.V's from battle if the Pokemon didn't do the fight?
you can just fight this npc over and over without mega evolving if you want to farm exp when you get to this part in the story where they get a new outfit after meeting Lebanne
