Finally did all those catch 50 type objectives. Now to release all this shit...
>>58460857Any way to trigger rain that isn't just resting on a bench over and over?
>>58460892There's ONE side quest where you battle someone in the rain and you can interact with her to trigger the rain. That's about it though.
>>58460904As in, after the sidequest you can return to her at any time and interact with her to make it rain? Or doing that sidequest is the only time you're able to actively make it rain?
>>58460915The latter.
>>58460922I was trying so hard to will the former into reality. Thanks for the info, anon.
So are ribbons/titles not in this game at all?
>>58460857imagine using non shinies, pleb
i love alpha mega starmie so much. giant sentai man running along side me posing psychic blasts as stuff is so fucking awesome.
>>58460857>tfw you'll never get to ride a Metagross in a game
I just found a way to bypass the need to do link trades for completing the dex and for getting the shiny charm on the emulator with cheatsFuck you too, Gamefreak
>>58460976I havent been able to encounter a SINGLE shiny within a Wild Zone, I've got like 6 that I just found randomly in the streets, but none in wild zones at all. I really want a shiny Venipede but have had zero luck, I probably need to beat the game and fight 1000 trainers first.
Is Mewtwo in the game? Can you catch it? Or is it like an event?
>>58461010No.
>>58461010Yes.
I found a shiny Vanillite by accident.This is actually my first shiny in any game kekWhat's the shiny chance in this game, btw? Is it the standard 1/4096 or are they more common? I found a shiny Weedle right after.
It feels like I'm constantly faced with a lack of training items.Going to need tons for the last 20 side quests it looks like. These type/specific pokemon missions are the bane of my existence.
I havent tried ranked yet.Whats the meta thats forming?
>>58461191Standard 1/4096 and the only way to change it is the shiny charm, there are no shiny hunting methods
Does anyone know what the fuck the speed stat does? Google says it affects cooldowns while agility description says it affects movement speed. Which is it? Or is movementspeed like a separate stat now?
>>58460857Just in case anyone hasn't grasped it yet, the best way to make use of Roto Glide is to just step off of the roof/ledge. Do NOT roll. You can't glide until your animation resets, so you'll lose a ton of height. The extra distance is never worth it.
I can't believe she isekai'd herself into some gigachad's dojo harem
>>58461191Standard rate, but because of how the game handles spawns they end up feeling more common since the game is constantly spawning Pokemon. This game adds a ton of QoL features regarding shinies too, the most important of which is making it so that they never despawn the way other Pokemon do when you leave a location. Because of this you can just fast travel to the same Wild Area over and over and accumulate shiny spawns, since they'll never vanish once they've spawned.
>>58461208Training as in EXP? You can farm them easily by giving in max shards. In post-game you can swap for Medium and Large EXP Candy
>>58461191The rate feels higher in Legends and SV just because you can encounter Pokémon much more rapidly. I also found 2 shinies within about half an hour of each other
I-I just wanted to take a cute picture of me and my bros hanging out in my room, why are you denying me gamefreak?
>>58461294>brosI know what you are.
mawhile is a fucking demon in this game
>>58461313They're all male btw
>>58461313BASED
>>58460990how?
>>58461344>male gardevoiryeah sure
>>58461239Speed absolutely affects cooldown times. It's really obvious when I use Hydro Pump on my Starmie vs Fire Blast on my Drampa. The latter actually has a shorter cooldown but it still takes way longer to charge up.I don't think it has any effect on movement speed, which seems to be entirely based on the Pokemon's locomotion on a purely animation level. For instance, if I'm just running (not dashing) around the city, my Scizor will never fall behind, while Starmie will despite the latter having a way higher speed stat.As an aside, the size of AoE attacks also scales with the Pokemon's size. At first, I thought alpha Pokemon would be a total liability (bigger target), but all their attacks will also be harder to avoid.
>>58461314I never really cared for mawhile becore but something about her really clicks this time.
>>58461344alpha females actually
>>58460857Is it true I can't get my boy Metagross until the postgame? So far I found Dratini, Larvitar, and Goomy, but I really want to use Metagross...
>really like metagross and have been hoping to get one as soon as I can all game>finally run into a side quest with 4 beldum >you cant fucking catch any of them>the random construction worker you help catches them and keeps themFuck that dude. At least wait until the area that gives you beldum opens before teasing my cock with them in side quests god damn it
is there any type of post game item that makes mega evolution last longer? i want to run around with my mega more
Jesus christ does the yapping never stop? Modern pokemon game tutorials NEVER END
>>58461492there's a tunnel in the story you have to run through that has beldum, you won't be able to miss it
>>58460976I have like 8 shinies, I just haven't found a Shiny Beldum/Metang yet.
>>58460857Does anyone know how Wild Zone spawns work?Is there a way to refresh them without leaving them at all (I have heard people are shiny hunting by abusing fast traveling)? Been trying to find a 5% encounter for a while now and it's a real bitch.
>>58461466You find it in the last "dungeon" before the game ends. So technically not end game, but might as well be.
>>584615188 litleos or is it skiddos? ;)
>>58461524they refresh if you go 50 meters away from the pokemon
How do I unlock the post game Taunie questline?
>>58461541I don't know
Completed the dex and got Floette last night. Don't care about catching like 400 more Pokemon for type grinding or 500 more trainer battles to get the shiny charm. At best I'll muse on grinding to level 49 when the Mewtwo event releases for the Masterball. Here's hoping the Hoopa DLC counts towards main game research.
>>58461541Visit Hotel Z. If you've done all that then you gotta beat the Infinite Royal 15 times to wrap her story up and get Floette.
>>58460990howpretty please :)
>have a bro team that I carry over between games>the ace has stayed the same for 20 years and always will>has survived dexit so far every time and did this time too>rest of team varies, changes every so often and when necessary due to dexits>finish Z-A>check who made it>literally just my ace, all five of the rest of my team aren't inWhelp. Not sure how to feel but I guess I've got a few months to think about it
>>58461533Neither. I'd honestly prefer those to what I've got.
>>58461377In the cheats file there is a cheat that lets you spawn any Pokemon so you can use that to spawn any trade evolution, I used that to catch Scizor thereAnd then I search gbatemp a little more and found a cheat that gives you 99,999 points when you complete a task for Mable's research, so when you're on the last possible task (probably the 1000 battles) just activate the cheat and it's as if you completed every request
ZAMNBack in my days, pokemon professors were all middle aged or above ugly men
>>58461574>shiny lopunnynice
>>58461583That and the (Mega) Beedrill are the only ones that I think are pretty alright. I tried hunting for a shiny Charmander and a Shiny Beldum, but I just don't have the patience to do hours of resets.
my date fucking sucks man...
do you only get one galarian slowpoke?
>>58461579Gen 5 broke that trend long ago
>>58461620Yeah, I was gonna mention Juniper to him too.
whoa this is actually pretty cool
>>58461633Can you catch it?
So do they just... not fix Prism Tower after the story? Seems like that'd be the first thing they'd do instead of turning it into a Wild Zone.
>>58461568Gyrados?
>>58461579juniper, sycamore, kukui and the gen 9 profs are all hot
>>58461649Technically gen 8's professor too since the old bag retires at the end.
>>58461649What part of "back in my day" don't you understand
>>58461662Gen 5 was over a decade ago so was that not apart of "your day"?
>>58461662i dont know you
>>58461394Alpha Camerupt with Earthquake and Lava Plume is gross.
>>58461579>be hot>avoid prisonmany such cases
>>58461633Come on man use spoiler tags. That said the fight was extremely underwhelming
>>58461648Gardevoir
>>58461772yea my bad i swear i thought i clicked the spoiler box
>>58461562see>>58461576
how do spawn mechanics work?I know clearing a wild zone makes it so anything can spawn. Is it just like SV in that I need to keep clearing things to get new things to spawn, or is it more convoluted than that?
>>58461576what cheats file are you referring to? the one linked in /emug/?
>>58461930>I know clearing a wild zone makes it so anything can spawn.After you defeat/capture something, it's actually just a timer. Otherwise, if you want to respawn something to reroll it, just running outside of its spawn radius (you'll see it fade out) and back is enough, or you can reload the zone via a bench/fast travel, but this is slower.Re-rolling alphas in zone 20 for instance is really easy since leaving the area from any gate and walking a bit is enough to despawn them and immediately respawn them when you re-enter.
>>58461932>the one linked in /emug/?Yes, to spawn any pokemon just do this >>58460377For Mable's request just add this line at the end of the cheat text file, then the next time you gain points it's gonna be 99,999 points[07# Mabels Research x2]040A0000 007D3E80 0B000813It's a little annoying, but it 100% works, just don't forget to back up your savefile just in case
>>58461963Oh, and if you want to circumvent the auto-save if you want to save scum for something you want (like a rare alpha or shiny) just make sure you exit the game before they can disappear after escaping. I just have my thumb hovering over the home button while they're shaking in the ball.
>>58461963There’s more to respawning than just them fading out. I haven’t tested the radius completely yet, but there’s spots where they’ll fade out but are still spawned in.
>>58462015It's right at 50m. Put a pin at the edge of the spawn point and walk away from it till you get to the desired distance
Spark is surprisingly useful in this.The fact that it's a charging attack means it can get in to use more move, or pass through the opposing mon to possibly avoid some attacks.
>>58462084I’ll take your word on 50, but I’ve been trying to do the Fennekin spawn and can tell you it’s more than just “can you see it.” Standing next to the bench which has a clear view of the spawn and is within 50m does not fade it in (though I am still unsure if it’s spawned) and it is not despawned if you’ve moved to part of the roof that has it visible. Stuff seems to fade out when either there’s a fence between you and it or you’re near a bench. You can test this by walking to the fence, making it visible, then eventually it’ll move from its spawn point, then making it fade out by going to the bench. When you defade it, it will still be in the same spot it moved to.
>>58462123>area 13>15 pokemon spawning around the alpha pokemonAIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>58462150>area 17
>>58462164have yet to see it, I hate these areas as much as I hate real time battling
>>58462174You'll learn to fear it and hate it quickly
>>58462174>Worst wild area mon to catch by far>Absolute fucking clusterfuck of a battleHope you have AOE
this game may have been slop but this ending sequence was definitely the coolest thing pokemon has done in a game (low bar whatever)
>>58462149Yeah, just tested it a bit more it’s not 50 or there’s more at play than you think. You can go to the fence, wait until the Fennekin goes to a new place, run a bit over 60 units away from the pin and it will still be in the same place meaning it didn’t respawn, was just faded out.
I genuinely have no idea what they were thinking with Area 17. It took me 3 hours to try and get Skarmory because of all the stupid ass Pyroar.
>>58462224what the fuck?
I guess I have a shiny alpha Salamence now, thanks Fennekin lol
>>58462231are you joking? its a couple of weak pyroar just hit them with any ground or water move then catch the fucking skarmory. took me 90 seconds tops.
>>58462251>a coupleAlso bullshit that you caught the skarmory in one try. Fuck you.
>>58462251>Even knocked out and an ultra ball with your catch bonus plushy maxed skarm caps at 2 arrowsYeah man sure. Ebic
>>5846214950 meters from the edge for in her case the edge of the wild zones. That's the number shiny fags have been using and they always have this shit down to a science day 1
>>58462258>>58462260first ball first try, if skarmory has a bad catch rate then im just lucky
>>58462274Hmmm, then the question is when is it spawned, because I’m not sure it’s spawned in if it’s not faded in (she won’t fade in if you don’t touch the fence next to the bench), since I haven’t gotten it to move to a different spot by just being afk at the bench for a little.
What's the best method to grind out the 1k win request? Extreme speed spam in restaurants?
>>58462309Probably after doing your infinite 15 tickets yeah
>>58462305I neglected the most important part like a retard. You fast travel/rest in that >50m radius point
doing 100 battles is far worse than just catching every pokemon like in previous games, what were they thinking?
>>58460857I found the elevator that sends you to the part of Wild Zone 15 with the Larvitars and I decided to try for a shiny one. Do I have to travel to a Wild Zone to get the spawns to reroll? It seems like whenever I warp to a Pokemon Center of cafe the Larvitars don't respawn.
>>584623681000*
>>58462353You mean less than or am I misunderstanding? Right now, I go bench, rest, walk to fence, back to bench, repeat. This 100% will respawn, not denying that. My question really is if I can cut out the bench to optimize it. I think the lower entrance where you get fast traveled to is too far away to spawn it and it takes more time to run to where it 100% spawns than to just bench reset again.
>>58462468>My question really is if I can cut out the bench to optimize itWith current known info? No. If you haven't gotten the shiny charm get it if you plan to hunt more than 2 mon because 2k less checks is going to be hours
>>58462484I have it. Maybe I should ask in the EMU thread to figure out when exactly it spawns since it seems like I need to touch the fence to get it to spawn rather than just holding back to immediately bench again. I figure one of them is going to have something that will let you see which mons are spanwed eventually.
>>58462251>A coupleShut the fuck up
I ONLY WANT TO EXPLORE THE FUCKING CITYSTOP ALREADY WITH THIS BULLSHITI DON'T WANT TO FOLLOW YOU, I WANT TO EXPLORE
>>58462600Just finish the fucking tutorial you mong, after that you will be free to do whatever you want
Canari's biggest fan is so happy to finally meet her!!
>mission against the metronome lady>first use brings out earthquake against my raichu (thankfully iron tail hit first)Random my fucking ass.
>>58462614>Just finish the fucking tutorialThe whole game is a tutorial
>>58462224Really feels like the guy who directed that final battle was a fan of Zeta gundam/CCA
the lumiose city theme is burned into my head at this point idk why they make this on a constant 2 minute loop i feel like im going crazy
>>58462662this is a blatant lie
>>58462632it's random, I also was expecting some insane pulls like Lusamine's Metronome but that never happened so I killed each of them after 10 or so move calls
>>58462662nah, the tutorial is very long like 5 hours or so but after that it's actually open world
>>58461574Trade me one of those spinny boys and I’ll give you a litleo or skiddo anon….
>>58462765Sorry bro. I'm playing on a hacked Switch.
Anyone know where to find the clothes in pic-related? Can't find it anywhere.
>>58462662Nigga you are an hour in and like 3 minutes from being able to explore the entire map. Shut up and play you whiny twat
>>58462614Nigger the tutorials are brutal and there's no fucking reason it should take 2 hours to get through them.
>>58462805Fate has cruelly intervened. Alas, I will continue the spinny boy hunt, good luck in your future hunts!
going around with no pants... she's a savage
>>58462822>>58462837You do not need to try this hard buddy
r8 my binch, /vp/
Are alphas better than ordinary versions?
>>584629293IV and 1 special move that could be MT or not that if they forget they can not learn it again like Beedril with Outrage or Magikarp with Hidropump
>>58462929pretty much, they come with a good move that the pokemon normally can't learn and have one stat at 31 IV
>>58462955>>58462958Cool, thanks.
>>58462890sucks off old men for medals/10
>>58462662Its less than an hour
>>58462972thank you, thank you.
Can the Larvitar in zone 15's rooftop even be Alpha? everything below keeps spawning as alpha with rerolls except them. They just change level and gender
>>58463060Had to complain here it seems, it can be an alpha just fine.
How do I say this guy's name? Is it like "as" or "ayy zed"?
>>58463122>easy
>>58463122aziz
Is it a dumb idea to rotate the pokemon I want to use in and out? I have like 11 or 12 pokemon I want to use, but I’m worried that if I rotate them too much everybody will end up too underleveled in the long run (they’re all around levels 46 to 48 atm)
>>58463122>zed
>>58463122Ay-Zee
>>58463179I've got 12 on the go. I'm rank B and maybe 5 levels behind the NPCs at worst but it's not too bad.
>>58463179If you don't, and you are doing side quests, you'll end up overleveled by late story. So if you want challenge, go for it. If not, then up to you
>>58463122Watch the video from Pokèmon Day where they reintroduced him
>>58463181>france says zed>japan says zetto>four of five english majority countries say zed>country with world's largest english-speaking population says zed>comes from zeta>majority of foreign languages call it some variation of zet or zed>americans can't remember their letters unless they rhyme>zee
>>58463263I'm with americans on this one, zee makes more sense to me
>>58463122ass
I usually don't care about shinies but damn do I want a shiny Dragonite, the mega looks so pretty
>>58462510it is literally 5, how shit is your team that you cant surf or earthquake them all to death in 1 hit?
>>58463241I want the game to be easier, actuallyBut I’m just having trouble deciding on a fixed team to use
Have you guys been using non-Mega pokemon at all?All of my team can mega evolve
>>58462258>>58462260>>58462510just went back to time myself killing every pyroar and catching another skarmory and it was almost exactly 90 seconds from teleporting to area 17 and having another skarmory in my box. i also caught both alpha pyroars cus its incredibly easy.
>>58460857>see shiny inkay>save game>accidentally an ultra ball>close game and open>game saved with it caught in ultra ballFuck man, I wanted it in a nest ball, this is awful, what the fuck is the auto save required to be on for? Shiny Malamar belongs in a nest ball, having one in an ultra ball is like not having one at all, maybe worse.
>Rock Tomb drops a targetable rock on the field>Substitute can be hit by your own movesSo is there some gimmick to these or whatI noticed you could potentially do things like use self buff moves even if the enemy is waiting to switch mons because you can target something, which you can't do otherwise
>>58463354I've been using Tyrantrum and Raichu.
fuck it. im just gonna have 2 mawile on my team
>>58463403They basically don't expect fans to be this autistic.They figured since they let you max out IVs and change natures now, people have no reason to rest for anything and any reason they would have is too autistic to matter (proud of its power lucario tier-shit)
>>58463354My highest level is a Raichu.I'm also using a Florges and sort of using a Meowstic.
Is Chesnaught just a jobber mon for the story? Kills itself with Wood Hammer, next best grass move is like, Bullet Seed. CC is alright, but you’ll almost certainly get yourself killed. Doesn’t seem to get Synthesis like it should have. Not sure it even gets Body Press
>>58460857Anyone here try the online?
What I'm loving the most about the game is that it finally gives you a reason to mega evolve. XY and ORAS were so fucking easy that there was no reason to mega evolve, you one-shot everything anyway so megas were just aesthetics, but in this game some battles can be quite challenging so I have a reason to mega evolve.
I just want to catch a fucking eevee in a luxury ball, should I try paralyzing or is it gonna get mad in 2 tries? Obviously is breaking out after the knock out chance
>>58463452I played for 20-30 minutes or so to get up to rank K, but felt like I need a consistent anti-gyarados strategy if I'm going to play any further.Problem is who to pick.
>>58463452Pretty easy, you lose 10 points by getting last place, but you get a lot of points for just doing stuff, so you're always positive
>>58463475Paralyze it, lower its health, and wait for it to actually get an attack in after escaping the ball before throwing another one so that it doesnt enrage.
>>58463354My story team was>Meganium ("Diddle") with Meganiumite>Garbodor ("Goblin Fron") with Quick Claw>Meowstic-F ("Scripps") with Wise Glasses>Absol ("Wandersnatch") with Absolite>Altaria ("Robin") with Altarianite>Floette [shiny] ("Yumina") with LeftoversI wasn't using Plus moves for a while and was wondering why they made Megas so much better for a lot of stuff, especially the boss fights, but then started using them and was like "oh right Plus moves are just so everything can do it".
>>58463488I owe you my life
So what are some quirks of the new battle system that you guys have used or noted? What does a utilitymon (such as a mon made for making catching easy) look like now etc.
Holy shit after tens of hours of wandering the same city, actually seeing a different area and hearing different music is refreshing even if its just a fucking sewer.
Can an alpha eevee spawn on the roof? I've been trying a lot and nothing to show
>>58463452I had fun with it. Bring a good spread of mons and you'll move through fast. Positioning is key
>>58463531just beat the game and area 20 can spawn 2 guarantee alphas. some which are eevee evolutions
One thing I really wish they had done in addition to what the game has is basically the BBQs from the second Scarlet and Violet DLC. I like the idea of four people running around Lumiose doing odd jobs. It's a fun mode in SV and could've applied to this game well. Maybe in the DLC
What the fuck, I just noticed the tower is completely covered now
>Lose battle>Get teabagged
>>58463416Target rock can obstruct target button, substitute is fine if your own attack doesn't follow a path, like psychic moves etc that just land on the monster directly
LITWICK SCARED THE SOUL OUT OF MY BODY! WHAT THE FUCK!
>>58463593Get spooked, doofus!
>>58463550yea i just caught an alpha vaporeon there and it was probably the hardest thing ive done in the game so far. it constantly was healing itself and never wanted to get caught.
>>58463550>area 20I'm not waiting till postgame
>>58460857When can I get a Beldum or Metang?
>>58463531just find an eevee and go back and forward despawning and spawning him till you get an alpha
cuddling with my alpha lopunny must feel so comfy
>>58463653lysander labs
can someone post the yoga master location
>>58463734thanks for the spoilers asshole, fuck you
>>58463742you talking about the one who was up in the tower in wild zone 3?
whats the biggest alpha poke i can get?
>>58463754that was it tysm!
>>58463734Oh okay. I was already spoiled about Lysandre Labs earlier.
>>58463755Whatever is already big. Off the top of my head, Gyarados seems like it would be pretty fucking huge.
YES IT HAPPENED I was wondering when one would show up while I was just walking around
>>58463734>>58463767>play xy>where the FUCK is Lysander Labs?!>play legends ZA>where the FUCK is Lysander Labs?!glad nothing changed for my dumbass
>>58463354Late game, I started using megas less/more as a get out of jail free card because the transformation makes you invincible when you’re about to get fucked on a switch in a trainer battle. Sticking mainly to + moves instead.Solo’d the post game final boss with Greninja lmao
Spawn works like this based on all my experimenting so far, I might stand corrected>SlotsZones have variable and fixed spots. Slots can be rerolled to what is desired (alpha/shiny) as long as the slot is active. To reactivate fixed slots a real life cooldown is put into action once a mon is killed/capture. Moving the day/night cycle might refresh the fixed slots. Defeating all monsters in an area might refresh all slots sooner, in the order of how things were defeated in the same area. A fixed spot is the natural spawn of an Alpha like Pyroar in Zone 17's upper segment, a variable spot is any other slot that spawns a non-alpha monster in the same place but instead has a chance to become alpha.>RerollAll active slots can be rerolled by reloading the screen. A reload occurs when you quicktravel to a location or when the in-game day cycle changes. Getting away from the area by walking might not reroll slots properly and some slots like fixed slots might refuse to change values unless the screen is reloaded.>Example #1Froakie might spawn in a single variable slot in area 16. It will spot you and flee. If Froakie despawns, you need to reload the screen until another spawns. If it spots you but you reload the screen before it despawns Froakie will reroll and be there again. You can reroll Froakie until an Alpha spawns, this one will not flee on spot like the normal version.>Example #2Pidgey Alpha in area 1's rooftop is a fixed slot that will always spawn there in a first cycle and will return to the same place after a while.
>>58463777that malamar has a trainer, please don't steal pokemon...
>>58463476I saw a lot of Gardevoirs and Gyarados. Seems like priority moves and sniping moves are best. Meganium didn’t seem terrible either.
>>58463776i guess ill just shiny farm the fixed alpha magikarp then, alpha dragonite would be pretty big too right? dont think i unlocked its zone yet tho
just figured out you can save when you ko a wild mon and have the chance to throw a ball with the best chance to capture it. as long as you're only in combat with that one pokemondont know if it's common knowledge but i think its pretty helpful
>ending sequence is a shitty fight and some scripted shit this fucking sucks>AZ just also kicks the bucket offscreen with barely any buildup>guess I'll do postgame stuff, fuckall happened in this bland story-massive fucking spoilers do not open until you've caught Xerneas and Yveltal, holy shit this might be my new fav music for the final fight in any Pokemon game. The Pokemon choices also tell a story, Garbodor and Florges particularly, Pokemon choice is such a good fucking way to characterise a person and I'm glad they knocked it out of the park here. This was the Volo fight I felt was missing till now
>>58463354Seems pretty clear that the game is designed for your story team to all or mostly be Megas. The game expects that you'll want to play around with the new toys, which is why it drip-feeds you other held items even slower than it drip-feeds Mega Stones.
how to get into fancy end boutique? is it post game
>>58463746you asked retardyou are welcome :^)
>>58463403You can revert to a previous back up save in the main menu
>>58463844i did not ask niggerfaggot
>>58463822I actually happened to get a random Alpha Dratini. Dragonite's pretty big, though not super huge. It's comparable in size to Alpha Abomasnow.
>>58463488>wait for it to actually get an attack in after escaping the ball before throwing another one so that it doesnt enrage.Wait, is this how you avoid enrages? Fuck
>>58463860Im honestly not actually 100% sure, but its what I've been doing, sorta waiting for the pokemon to do its thing before throwing another ball, and its worked out for me, could be PURE luck though.
>>58463831Yeah that music was fucking sick
>>58463855oh you are just on 4chan reading a thread about a game you dont want spoiled, tower is a monster final boss az created that is malfunctioning causing the mega evolutions, dont you think thats a bit silly?
>>58463870aww, did that make you feel good?
is the shiny charm worth it? cuz i've been trying to get this shiny alpha mawile for hours and it doesn't feel like im getting any closer.
>>58463879:^)
>>584638874k to 1k, make your own decision. I knew I was was going to do a bit in this game so I got it first thing.
>>58463860>>58463868Honestly upon further testing, it seems more like you just need to wait for several seconds between throws to avoid enrages. I tested with 8-10 second intervals and was able to throw 10 balls at a pokemon without any enrages.
>>58463831>>58463869I am legitimately struggling to think of a less memorable final boss theme in Pokémon.
>>58463911I haven't run into a single person who likes Leon's music
>>58460857is there a tier list of best mega?
>>58463905Enrage is there to stop ball spam to be a tactic, nothing would stop you from just throw balls until one hits. It is annoying but is a balance mechanic. You still have 100 of them in your bag, just have some patience. My issue isn't that but the fact that the 1HP move isn't in the game. So you have to inflict an status while not really being able to chip damage unless it is some bulky shit because you might kill it and then you're down to 1 chance.
>Taunie calls Jacinthe a nigger and tells her to fuck off and leave the meeting roomAnd thats why Taunie is the best
>>58462621I know you used naveen to get in there fraud
>>58461314>>58461395Just proof a good typing can make all the difference.
>>58463354I exclusively used new Mega's. Felt bad catching a Alpha Salamence and not touching it but rules are rules.
>>58463452Played it for 30 minutes to get Greniggerite. It's neat that I don't need to go full autist to win but I don't give a shit about Pokemon PvP.
>>58463354I’ve been gradually swapping over. Medicham is nice but I’m trying to find Drampa.
>>58463995what cheat did you use to get all those shinies?
>>58463919People overhype Toby Fox so I'm going to assume you mean the Champion song.Sure, the baked in crowd noises are obnoxious, but I remember the song. Just taking the Hall of Fame theme is painfully uninspired, but it does fit Leon's whole "he's the champion and he's the best champion and he's the best" bullshit. I think of the battle and I instantly remember its soundtrack.Can't say the same with this. I remember some of the instrumentation, but can't recall a melody. It just wasn't doing anything interesting enough to remember.
>>58463452To anyone who has tried it, is it possible to create private rooms with less than 4 people? e.g. do a sorta 1v1?
>>58464015Only the Medicham is shiny. I found it in the area with the Houndoom.
what level did you do the furfrou league at?
How the hell do you get bottle caps in this game?

How do I take my mon out of mega evolution after a fight? It just sits there draining the resource gauge like an idiot
>>58464184I don't know how to manually cancel it, but you can just put them back in the ball if you want to stop draining the gauge
>>58461576Can I do that on switch?
So I want my Pokemon to NOT be alphas online right?
I just want a shiny Pikachu. Instead I have four female litleo, seven skiddo, one espurr and two flabebe. I just. Want. Pikachu.
>>58464216you can't, the gauge has to stop. You can change it out and use plus moves from other pokemon to drain it faster if you wanted to.
>>58464034
>>58464184Gauge will stop falling if they're in their ball. You can't undo Mega otherwise, you just gotta wait for it to run out if you want the Pokemon to un-mega
>>58460857Little girl dress up simulator is fun
>>58464225with cfw yes
>>58464255once again girl has all the fun/cool options, I dunno why I thought it would be any different this time around.

I get it's more of a gameplay thing to make the player involved but Taunie needs to shut the fuck up about this "I'm the leader so I'm good as you" shit, fight all 3 rogue megas too or shut the fuck up you lazy bitch
Jacinthe is a rapist
>Step in Wild Zone 17>instantly get mauled by the lionsis this normal? What am I doing wrong?
>>58464260its gender neutral you can use them too
>>58464382It’s the PLZA rite of passage, protip Skarmory has a difficult catch rate so make sure to clear the area and status/weaken it
>>58464382Its a classic experience, search "Wild Zone 17" on twitter for some laughs.Waiting until night is your best bet.
Croconaw is kinda shit. Might replace him with Binacle.
Having a lot of fun online right now, my only concern is that eventually the 3 pokemon limit and how the meta developers will be super limiting. Like I love bringing Scolipede I've had a lot of fun diving into fights with megahorn and scoring double kills, or following up with earthquake if it wasnt enough, but hard to justify bringing him When I need to be able to deal with Gyarados, Garchomp, Gardevoir, etc.
>>58464348>bro just make your star bigger for no reason so it can eat more food, need more space, etcShe doesn't battle; she is a dancer.
>>58464382i don't have 17 yet, but 15 gave me that experience with the two alphas plus minions trying to eat me
I did it
>>58464407I doubt the meta still be as set in stone as mainline, combat is too fast and its 4 players so you can always use weird strats like kill stealing
How good/viable is Mawile in this game?
I was a little bummed out because I wasn't gonna be able to 100% the game because of link trades but now that I found a way to get around it I'm really excited to do absolutely everything there is to do in the game
>find a mission from a kid who wants to have a pikachu only battle>oh this will be easy I caught a lvl 40 alpha>his is lvl 66>it has a light ball and digLISTEN HERE YOU LITTLE SHIT
is there any way to hunt shiny pika without all the other zone 3 getting shiny instead
I like how the rogue-mega's are like mmorpg raid-bosses, mechanics wise. Stuff like Venusaur spawning brambles which if not destroyed will heal him, or mega-Frosslas using the hide-behind-the-safezone-pillars mechanic seen even in Monster Hunter, and other games. Mega-Banette having a bloodborne Wetnurse boss phase change moment, ect. Of course its all very easy, and the one thing Dynamax / Gigantamax raids did better, were the additional consumables rewards at the end.
>stop playing to go do something else>back to playing 15 minutes laterI actually love this game. I wonder if the DLC will release before or after transfer from Home is made available. Also I saw a rainbow in game earlier but was trying to get a good shot and didn't manage to it before it disappeared.Still trying to decide what to focus on, just doing a bit of everything post-game for now. Got my Greninjite at least
>>58460857Reminder the draft of the game looked like this
>>58464249Knew it was coming but still got jumpscared with the sound in game!
>>58464529I want Iridia in present day.Arceus, can you fling her over here in this time period for me?
>>58464529Okay, I remembered. Now what?
It really is a lot more fun for me to complete the Pokedex and stuff when I know I can't just get lazy and use Home to do it right now.
>>58464490You were CHU'd
Is it better than Arceus?
>>58464586i don't know i didn't player arceus
>>58464586The battles are better in ZA but the areas is slightly better. It gets kinda samey after a while seeing small as fuck wild zones.
>>58464490>wait until it uses dig>use dig yourself
>>58464529Considering the switch 1 version (aka the actual version of the game), is 30 with dips with current terrain, and the sewers and interiors look as well detailed as you could want from the system, I legit think it was a "we scaled back the environments to preserve framerate" situation.Blame GF's shitty graphics engine (which is apparently getting replaced for Gen 10), or blame the fact that the character models are probably too high poly / high texture res for their own good compared to other games on the system leaving little room left for the environments, or blame both.
I have a thought, why the fuck does Koga get promoted to E4 anyway, he's certainly not the strongest Kanto Gym Leader, even discounting Giovanni, he couldn't have even been the second choice considering Blue turned it down, there's no way. With that said, I think people are being way too harsh on Z-A, it's not perfect exploration wise and it definitely could have had all the letters, even if some were silly team wide triple battles to skip through them faster, but it could have easily had them spread apart properly, but I at least get it. Oh my big complaint is actually why the fuck the plushy guy isn't on the map, forgot where he was for the longest time. Also what are the odds of every starter I've gotten being female, is it just hardcoded based on your gender pick?
>>58464586If you liked Arceus for any reason other than "explore empty green botw wilderness" and "Sinnoh fanservice", you'll think this game is good. Its weakest elements are its outdoor building visuals (but you dont have a lot of distracting repeated textures anymore so its a sidegrade), and the story, which has appealing characters but since its based on XY's nothingburger, is also a nothingburger compared to PLA's additional lore of an already beloved bit of pokemon lore.
>>58464586It really depends on what you care about more in Pokemon. People who like catching are going to enjoy Arceus infinitely better but if you care more about battling (which Arceus had minimal of) you'll probably like this one better. Its hard for me to say which is better, despite being in the Legends lines they focus on completely different things.
>>58461314So is Clefable
>>58464625>it definitely could have had all the lettersUnless you're going to tie a rank up to each of the Rogue Mega fights I think people would have complained about padding and filler.
>>58464490>use any attack to bait the protect>wait for dig>use dig yourself>use protect to block iron tail >do this once again to win the fight you're welcome There is a quest afterwards that requires a solo raichu
>>58464625>why the fuck the plushy guy isn't on the maphe is, you can fly to racinte construction after meeting him the first time
>>58464586Arceus was much better but this is fun too
>>58464633I think what you do is something like, X/Y are a cosplay duo of Calem/Serena and you just get ranked up beating them back to back. Then you can do like say R, S, T is like W, it's just a Chef Callback to Gen 5's first gym leaders. You can either have it be like Naveen/Lida are taking on two of them and you take on R, and you go a different route with their stories a tad, or just do it back to back. They don't all have to be a rank up individually at night thing. That way it reduces the padding a bit in places, keeps the levels more consistent, and still gets you the rank ups.
>>58464640Oh I'm aware now, I just forgot he was the construction guy and at the site, and went running all over town to try and find him again like midway through the game when I remembered he even existed. So I never bothered thinking "oh it's construction guy, I'll fly here". Was more like "construction, must be some random shop or just neat locale".
>a ten fight gauntlet with no allowance to heal and mons who attack stupidly fast
>AZ's Lucario is revealed to have originally been Korrina'sNo wonder you can Mega Evolve it the second you meet it in the story, just like XY she trains those things to be whores
>>58464657kino
>>58464657Im honestly happy they brought back any sort of endurance challenge to the series.Series constantly heals you between every fight now, and since series has lacked any sort of dungeon since SwSh, it really has felt like all difficulty was encounter by encounter basis, not just Pokemon either, basically every series across the board has been doing away with this sort of thing in favor of focused challenges where you only need to do one encounter at a time, so having an endurance challenge again is nice.
>>58464678It is until you realize that you can either cheese most of them with certain moves or are pushed to use wish and shit to not get worn down fast.
>>58464657Gotta learn to recall Pokemon when needed and just use a turn on an item. Also figure out where the placement of moves are, you can cheese between mid range->close->mid->close. And they really can never hit you in most cases. Fairy into Normal moves seem pretty consistent typically speaking in that regard.
>>58464694>use an itemAnon, you can't use items during the restaurant battles.
>>58464701Well not with that attitude you can't
>skorts only have a skirt facade on the front, they look like shorts from the backI understand the no pantyshot mandate but come on, at least have a skirt facade on the back tooBack to the coat I guess, shame as this is nice from the front
Wanting big Pokemon is easy with how many Alphas there are but wanting small Pokemon is miserable, especially for the ones that don't spawn often
I have a mind to get a gengar and a scizor in this game. How the fuck do I do without the linkcable thing like the old one had?Do we have any groups for just exchanging trademons to and back to eachother? My trainer as payment for the information.
are there rotom phone cases in this like in SV
>>58464720You can get a gengar if I recall correctly, but yeah scizor gotta trade still, same with steelix
>>58464720There's a mandatory Gengar fight during the story where you can catch 2 of them and an alpha spawns in the last Wild Zone post game. You're shit out of luck with Scizor though.
>>58464734How do you get gengar normally without trade in this? Are the only things that need to be traded the ones that require held items?
I’m so fucking horny for Odette, imagine the pheromones >>58464720/wfg/ or ask here, you do get a Gengar as a story encounter in late midgame
>>58464739I'm playing on switch 2, so I don't mind trading. I just need to find a fucking scyther first and get a metal coat.
>>58464740Some of the trade evos are just out and about, I know Gengar has a mission for it.
>>58464586>Arceus(You) have to stablish the pokemon culture in the region, there's a lot of primitive shit so it feels completely different to the usual pokemon experience. Boss battles are just okay. There's minimal TRAINER battles, there's a lot of wild battles where things gang on you. You create the pokedex from 0 so research tasks want you to check the most minute annoying bit of a pokemon. You get to explore land no one wants to put a feet on out of fear of pokemon.>ZA(You) are just another trainer. It feels like a modern take on a regular pokemon game. Boss battles are actually really different from each other and can either be slow and easy or some kingdom hearts tier fast paced rumble. There's ALOT of trainer battles, with a whole segment dedicated to becoming rich out of it but you don't need to engage on it more than desired you can go in and out of that mode at your own pace. Your research tasks just want to see how many pokemon have made it into the city so they are just simpler chores like catching and evolving, less of a slog but not as involved. Your exploration is limited to the city, but it actually has a lot of stuff to climb or find because there's pokemon everywhereI like both about the same, I think Arceus had a funnier side activity with the unknown and the will-o-wisp thing but getting the passive rewards of getting the scattered item in ZA is not bad either. It also encourages you to explore the whole city and find hidden places/pokemon/items that otherwise you'd miss by playing regularly.

Alright, I just got to rank D and here's my 7 mon rotation so far, plus nicknames if you're interestedFeraligatr - SteveTalonflame - GarudaRaichu - NessHeracross - Bois(Duh)Gardevoir - TitaniaAbsol - NephtysGarchomp - SekolahAny suggestions on stuff to add? I was using that Quilladin which I named Quinn but it kind of fell out of my rotation. i think I need a steel or poison type to cover fairies better. Maybe Excadrill?
>>58464775Excadrill is pretty legit in this game, you can’t go wrong with it
>>58464785The Mega is dumb as hell but it obliterates everything, feels good to use.
>>58464740The gen 6 ghosts are super common Gengar and Steelix appear in the storyAlakazam is a random spawn in area 20You get a galarian slowpoke and the items to get slowking (counts for the dex but there is no wild regular slowking)Haven't seen Machamp, Scizor and the gen 6 faires though
>>58464775A Heracross named Bois is by far the best thing about Z-A.
Realistically speaking should I just wait to evolve Staryu and Clefairy until they learn shit like Surf/Moonblast seeing as how Mable's research is like Lv. 29-30 for Surf and shit? Like I imagine it'd be faster to just level it than hitting those right?
>Spend 20 minutes doing an Infinite Royale>>>>>>>1 (one) singular Friend BallAHHHH GIVE ME MORE YOU FUCK
>>58464792It’s one of the few that goofygrew on me, it looks stupid in its static art but in motion it works, plus it’s ExcaDRILL so I can at least respect giving it a bunch of fuckhuge drills, it’d look better if they only came out when it attacked though
ive been to paris for a week a couple years ago and ZA was literally my experience, just switch wild zones and pokemon with you know who, specially at night, gamefreak made their research, never ever again
>used to hate Spewpa as some stupid looking shit >get to the Museum side quest>see the Spewpa trying to be a PokeballAlright you got me you little shit, that's funny and adorable, you're alright now.
>>58464810There is absolutely no reason to wait on evolution in this game, pre-evos don't learn moves earlier and stone evos don't stop learning movesThe one exception is doublade because aegislash has the functional equivalent of truant and sucks dick
>>58464830Its pretty clear there is definitely an 'invasive' theme going on here with some people screaming about how you'll just accept it and the other sides demanding to remove them and clean things up. Where you see a lot of women getting harassed in the story because of it. Ultimately it leads to no holds bar 'purge/battle' zones to vent out frustrations in these alleyways, while everyone else is lauded over that if they participate like the rest of the riff raff they might get a 'wish' too, well "within our power' of course.
>>58464835Ah, so how/when they learn moves is different, ok that's good then. I wasn't far off anyway, like Lv. 31-32 and I think they learn it at like 42-44.
>>58464834

They should have made this more like a fighting game where you get to pick a character and then fight through random opponents in the battle royale
Question. Going for a slight theme of dark type/mean looking pokemon that a dubious person might use.So far my idea is>Gengar>Ttar>Sharpedo>ScizorHoundoomAnd I have my starter - Bacon - until I find a 6th.I'd like to toss a question out there of what should my 6th be? Perhaps my working team is a bit too "oh the coolest pokemon are all in my party" so maybe a weirdo would be nice. Perhaps ice of dragon overage since that's something I'm missing.
>>58464921She has no respect for anyone, I find her completely unbearable by the end. She has good intentions and wants to help people but does it in such a self-absorbed way, she has a major main character complex despite repeatedly hoisting all the main character stuff onto the player and then pulls rank when people give you the appropriate credit as the capable one over her.
>>58464922Same reason Rintaro the (W)aiter at Rank W doesn't have a W name like Warren or Wayne.
>>58464921Taunie is based for hating Nigcinthe

>>58464953You can have Gwinn lil bro
>the end boss is just fighting two flowerswhat the fuck, I wanted to fight the tower plant monster from a rooftop or something with it towering over me
>>58464967Yep, fucking trash, especially compared to Volo.
Am I the only one who gets a sort of like Persona Mementos vibe with the game? Just like one of those multi-floored persona side dungeons. That's what the entirety of this game feels like.
>>58464976In fairness, Volo is postgame, Ange is the equivalent of fighting Origin Dialga/Palkia.
This is a legitimate humilliation ritual and it has lasted 2 years, holy shit

Just when I thought I got used to Jacinthe's design she spends a long period of time as a hologram and when she appeared properly after her design looked jarring all over again.
How the fuck do i get here>>58464943Not bad options. I suppose i could use a grass type.
these clothing options are all ass
>>58465077play the game, you unlock hover jump
>>58465083They're both nice but extremely limiting. the color system sucks ass and the stuff i like doesn't have uniform coloring.
>>58465077You can roll to the lower segment but to glide you need a plot upgrade. Or if there's a nearby roof you can climb, you drop down.
>>58465087>>58465096thanks.
>got the ev training items for attack and defense from side quests ages ago>still haven't found any of the others
>>58463451Chesnaught doesn't get Body Press, it's not in the game so you'll have to stick with Close Combat or Brick Break. For healing while it doesn't get Synthesis it does get STAB Giga Drain via TM, but I don't know how effective it is off 74 SpA in this game.>>58463919I did think Gen 7 and 8 were both pretty weak for final boss music.
>>58465164You can buy them all with Mega Shards post game anyway
Is there any reward for Dex completion?
>>58465195You need to do it as part of your research rewards so it's part of getting the shiny charm.
Got to Rank A online via Starmie and Excadrill so I'm out until the next mega stone is available.
The first few hours of the game really give a bad impression but it actually might be one of my favorite pokemon games in like a decade. It certainly has the first cast of characters that I genuinely like in that long
>>58465206How did you build Mega Starmie?
>>58465164the others unlock with side quests too eventually. Don't worry. You don't really want to EV train too hard before EV reset unlocks at rank C anyways
>>58465245theres an ev reset?
>>58465254You can reset your EVs in Rust Syndicate's lobby.
I bet no one used Taxis until that sidequest and that how I learn they will hint people about places and events going...
Mega Mawile destroyed Mega Scolipede
>>58465212The game has problems but it genuinely has a lot of nice callbacks and gameplay loop with the battles->side missions/story etc. Could it be improved, for sure. But it's a fun attempt, especially in spades, always keeps the city feeling fresh and explorable because you never remember where anything fucking is.
>>58465245I've only EV trained my Skiddo because ATK and DEF were the ones I wanted to boost anyways and it can't mega evolveButchering the spinarak on that wall in the graveyard wild zone made it go by fastI would really like the special attack item for glalie since he doesn't hit quite as hard as I would like but that seems hours away>>58465312I'm enjoying the game but I get burnt out fast when I play for too long. It's definitely more enjoyable when you do just a little every day, I don't think I could spend a weekend playing through the whole thing start to finish
The multi-player in ZA needs workNeeds to be top down, and you need to be able to at least turn the camera when you're deadThe camera follows whoever killed you last, and if they die while you're dead, the camera stops, meaning you can lose sight of the action and get spawned back in completely clueless and disoriented Additionally, getting killed because you didn't see someone run up behind you, or because a giant Pokémon is taking over your camera isn't fucking funALSO, not being able to dash or roll during trainer fights fucking suck, especially when you your spawn point is on the opposite side of the map away from all the action
>>58465336>I'm enjoying the game but I get burnt out fast when I play for too long. It's definitely more enjoyable when you do just a little every day, I don't think I could spend a weekend playing through the whole thing start to finishThat's been me, it's been a pretty enjoyable experience. Which is how I'm taking it, it's a different Pokemon experience, like it's intended to be, which is what Legends is, not a set formula, just different formulas that the regular.I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Legends Mew ends up being a MGS3/BotW style survival game in Guyana/Fairaway Island.
>>58465220BoltBeam, Surf, Psychic. Surf's is a bit poop online here but it's a great pick off build. Modest nature. Max sp.atk and speed. People say max HP and offensive is better for this game but I don't really care since I am more involved games for this kind of multiplayer, just good enough to mega the mega stones.Excadrill is a good butt raper with swords dance and the expected moves like Iron Head.
>>58465336I mean Vitamins unlock around the time you get 2 more EV items so might as well pay for it instead of training. The whole 26 vitamins is about 1 night of battles at that point of the game.
>>58465353*good enough to get the mega stones.
I wanna know the sick freak at construction and city planning thought hiding screws in asinine places for magical plushies was a good idea. Fuck them.
>>58465353for naturally fast pokemon, speed EV do make a noticeable difference than for slow bulky mons, regarding the charge time of attacks.
>Try trading Scythers online>Get a Chinese person offering one with an EverstoneNice try, fucker

I beat those pyroars pretty easily but I wanted a shiny skarmory and I think I gotta kill the pyroars again if I wanna catch it since earth power spam targets you wherever.
Is there a downside for evolving with a stone early in this game?
>>58465594no
>>58465594Theres no downside to evolving anything everAll stages learn moves at similar levels now
I just played a ranked match where someone went apeshit with a Beedrill. All I can do is respect him.
>>58465594None, all stone evos can learn level up moves like prevos now.Only downside is Aegislash, because of its ability it takes too much time to do anything.
Does female mega pyroar look the same as male mega pyroar?
>>58465636All megas are unisex
Where do you get bottle caps from?
>>58465644Sad. Male Pyroar looks really lame and the mega SUCKS. Was hoping the female would be better.
>>58465625Dunno how he'd manage to survive, I feel like super fast and made of paper candy do shit in this game.
