I feel like im more interested in Alpha pokemon than shinies idk the size difference is kind of cool
how the fuck to beat mega babaracle
>>58470597your dark souls practice?
>>58470569see if you can delet ei made one but name dit badly and its too late to delete that one >>58470078
>>58470590I got shiny alphas, they're super cool especially for mons that are usually small
>>58470619just let that one die.
>>58470590Depends on the Pokémon, I think most look better normal size. The only alphas I've used across both games are Steelix, Lilligant (I think) and Gyarados.Does anyone have a picture of an alpha Metagross, he must be a big lad, kind of wanted to farm for one but it's so close to the end of the game it seems a bit pointless
>>58470603yep fuck dark soulshow the hell do yo have fun getting fucking destroyed every 2 seconds
>>58470597Kill the adds immediately and take potshots at it every so often, otherwise never stop running for your life. That faggot makes Noble Electrode seem fair and balanced.
>>58470663gitting gud and overcoming is the fun part
urbain is a chud he just hates her for no reason gotta be because shes a nigger>>58470634can try lol itll probs get bumped
>>58470671is that the only bs boss like this or are there worse
>>58470597>>58470671>>58470681just use mawile, bro. she solos everything.
>>58470675Cute trainer
>>58470681Nothing else comes close, Barbaracle is an anomaly.
>that goofy ass jump and throw corbeau does when you battle himlel
>>58470651I just happened to find one
I didnt think barbaracle was that bad
>>58470716he's not. he just catches you off guard at the beginning.
GIVE ME MY ALPHA FOSSIL ALREADY YOU GODDAMN ZAGGOT AAAAAAAAAAA
>>58470692new outfit just changed a second ago picking out clothes is so hard lol
>>58467310I just like to fuck around a lot and not progress the story. I.E. I haven't finished the first 3 side quests and I explored most of the city and almost cleared out all 6 zones, >>58467363>>58467306Thanks>>58468692Making a note of this too.
also just noticed different shoes make a different step sound a nice detail
>>58470736I feel like Corbeau’s Gyarados was harder than any mega desu
>>58470663you know how it charges for a while? you can whack them really hard to stun that shit or otherwise dodge a lot of times once the charge animation ends
>>58470758Losing respect quickly
>XL Gogoathow? am I supposed to somehow roll an alpha because any regular gogoat seems to always be M, not even L let alone XL
>>58470854yea, all alphas are XL by default.
>>58470854Can easily find a alpha goat in the snowy wild zone
Stall is basically non-existent in online but I suppose that makes sense when it's a 1v1v1v1 scenario. Has anyone out there tried a competitive singles format with this battle system yet?
>>58470822cooldown either gets me or i lock onto the fucking binacles
>>58470663Anon unless you are a paraplegic it is piss easy. Just hold away from him and when he is finishing charging his "your life ends in 30 minutes" attack recall your mon and run in a circle. If you are still struggling to to the construction company and buy the "mons to less damage to the PC" plushies
I was a faggot and pumped Xerneas up with Vitamins and a Modest mint for the final Zygarde fight and I regret nothing.
>>58471018I just spammed ice beam and water shiriken from 10000 feet away with base gren
only 3 mins or so with no mega were taking 10-12 before, my braixen is a bit over levelled tho i guess kekhttps://cdn.lewd.host/5Srzug7n.mp4
>>58471018I just used my starmie and spammed ice bean and psychic. It wasn't a hard fight the issue is he has a billion HP. The 3rd phase he is so slow I had 0 chance of getting hit it was all just his bulk taking forever to chew through
Is there anyone out there who'd be willing to get me a Metal Coat early? I'm baffled I can't get one for a while and I have a Scyther that needs to evolve. I'd appreciate if someone would send one over with a random shitmon you don't need. ICan give something in return but I don't know what to really give. Code 2426 2436
>>58471022Heracross did it faster at a lower level with shadow claw
>>58471022>>58471043I just realized you said braixen not Delphox kek I kneel. Based waifufag
What happened to the emu gen thread? Trading and battling works now on ryubing ryuldn mode on
>>58471050is there online with ryuldn or only local wireless? wonder if i could do some funny private battles with my friends
>>58471022I'm assuming you're intentionally trying not to use Plus Moves?
>>58471035>he thinks scyther evolves like in PLA Oh no no no
Question, because I haven't bothered paying attention. Does the game auto-save after fossil revive or can I just reset for a shiny, or is that shit hard locked the moment you buy it?
>>58470703i found mawile and banette harder than barbaracle
>>58471065no i am using them
>>58471059Emu to emu anywhere in the world, latest ryubing canary releaseDo people not know? I wanna play more 1v1 battles
>>58471068I know i still have to trade Evo it. Unless it works differently in this one too. The problem is you get the side quest for Metal Coat after main stroy 35 via two side quests and you can just buy it post game, but i'm on main quest 15, and don't feel like waiting that long.
>>58471073Did you have a bunch of plushies? Barb legitimately one shots you if you aren't careful about some of his attacks. The rest you can facetank and just mash till you win
>>58471085Where can you buy it? I'll send you one
>>58471100Thanks anon!you can get it from here.
>>58471004i have the plushies
>>58471050do you know what the issue was?
>>58471114>Buy "a" metal coat>Meaning 1Welp
>>58471129As far as i know there are three i guess if you can only buy one from them. 2 are unlocked via side quests, this one is just bought from the store it mentions. I suppose you won't be willing to part with it then?
>>58471114Got it>>58471129You can buy multiple
>>58471129I just bought 3 from the guy to check.
>>58471124That will do it. Doing damage to him is piss easy the problem is him ganking you with his lunges. I wouldn't be shocked if it gets patched to do less damage
>>58471129>>58471137You can buy as many as you want, just 1 at a time.
>>58471143>>58471147Good to know for future reference
>>58471082I haven't managed to get past blocking the nintendo DNS in console, just eternally spins in connecting in game. I see 7 hosted games though so I am connecting to something.
>>58471143>>58471152I'm a retard and fucked up my code to give to you. IT's 2436 2436. Not 2426 2436.
>>58471176Well I gave one to someone
>>58471180Might have been the dude who is also trying to help me on the trade general. Unfortunate timing that I am both using the wrong code, didn't say my name, and am on a different code because I fucked up.
>>58471184God bless you you cute desperate retard
>>58471184lol yeah, we just traded metal coats
>>58471191If you sent me the Simisear, then thank you! I'm ready to throw Scyther acorss the pond and re-recieve him
>fucked up my favorite pokemoni don't want to use eviolite doublade but holy shit king's shield is useless.
11 min buneary v altaria same level, i didnt notice until half way throguh the iron tails werent hitting because altarias in the air though probably would have been faster if i had different moves https://cdn.lewd.host/u3HFWBy9.mp4
>>58471204I did, that's what was sent to me the first time. I can help you evolve it if you want
>>58471217I got the metal coat from you and the other anon who was out there on the wtg/ thread also helped me evolve it. Based double-general help. thank you anon!
>>58471226No problem, glad I could help!
Guys I don't know if I can do another 750 battles to get that shiny charm. Why did they do this
>>58471245padding
>>58471245Gamefreak likes fucking with people if the Frontier cockteasing 3 games in a row that went nowhere didn't tip you off. I'm just not bothering, I got Eternal Floette and a complete dex so I'm out aside from when the other starter mega stones are available via PvP.
>>58471251this, same as getting it in PLA, just mindless busywork
>>58471245To give mentally ill shiny hunters something to do. 1k battles is nothing compared to doing thousands of checks for each mon
I just realized there's a lot of colorful screws, I already got 6 of them, should I avoid collecting any more until the end game so I can follow a guide and not get stuck missing one?
>gengar's portrait pic has it licking its itemkek
>>58471286That's retarded. Pick them up as you go. Upgrade your catch rate/exp/mega shards/bitch mode plushies to make the first 30 hours more enjoyable
>>58471286No, collect them as you see them. You'll need the Canari charms.
>>58471245just use cheats
>>58471286Pick them up as you go, its better to get the plushies as early as possible.
>>58471286They are extremely helpful to collect during the story because you can buy +xp or +catch rate items with them.
>>58471299Can't, playing on switch 2
>>58471286Collect them and get the catching boosts ASAP.
>>58471303>>58471301>>58471297>>58471295>>58471309Is there a way to keep track of how many screws you've collected if you buy stuff with them, and where the remaining ones are?
How long do stat modifying moves last in this game? Also is it traditional 6 staged each way?
>>58471312No but catching and exp is all you need if you're just going to do the actual content then move on.
I feel like I'm in fucking bizarro world when I go to Youtube and it throws me like 50 videos of people crying about how ZA is the worst thing ever like the game isn't even bad, it's alright. I dunno what the fuck people are on about that the game doesn't innovate when it revamped the whole battle system but okay.
>>58471293fitting name
>>58471312If your going to 100% the game you are going to check all the spots manually anyways just get them as you see them. Also if you plan on 100% the game get shard ASAP because you are going to spend hours grinding shards to trade for mega stones so you might as well get it while doing the main story
>>58471329Normalfags are retarded and the cultural zeitgeist right now is "Nintendo and pokemon bad". Games is a solid 6-7/10
>>58471337It sucks the best shard spot (outside the tower) disappears in the post game
>>58471329they're grifters doing everything they can to shit on the game because gamefreak is trying to take palworld down. everyone else liked the game.
>>58471346theres an alleway between what i think is the furfrou cafe? that is fucking loaded with mega gems
>>58471329It's alright, people are just rightfully angry that Nintendo priced them out of a new toy. Let's be honest here this game is 40 bucks at most with free dlc, not 70+30.The game is just ok but people have some bizarre expectations of what open world should be, this is why I never wanted open world games in this franchise.
>>58471332She's my best good friend.
I've found like 4 Alpha Chikoritas (Male), but only one Alpha Charmander (Female).
>>58471314>How long do stat modifying moves last in this gameit depends on the movesthere is only 1 stage up or down, traditional 2 stage buffs like swords dance or nasty plot just last longer. the 1 stage buffs like work up or bulk up barely last like 3 attacks lolhonestly i wouldn't use even the 2 stage buffs unless it's a rogue mega since that is the only time you have a punching bag where you can get full value out of the buff. against trainers, a ton of the buff duration is going to be wasted during the downtime when you ko something and are waiting for them to send out the next mon and you will probably be trying to juke alphas since they hit like a fucking truck, so that's more buff duration wasted
>>58471346Without spoilers, What spot is that and can you reach it early in the game?
>>58471394So life deer spamming geomancy was just wasting time? Based retarded AI
>>58471378Is gengar worth using?
>>58471399The entire city is opened up after Emma's side quest shit anon
>>58471402Parish song is actually really fucking good in this game until you in post game. Poison+ghost+gengars God tier coverage you can hit whatever for super effective damage. It's pretty good
>>58471402Not him, but I like using my Alpha one. He came with Dazzling Gleam.
>>58471365Half the comments on these videos are just people saying shit like "i never got what people liked about pokemon crap anyway lmao", I'm so exhausted of this outrage culture stuff, people jumping on the bandwagon to get angry about things they have nothing to do with. I think I'm just getting old.
>>58471394They're worth it in online since online is all about big hits. Makes defensive buffs worthless though.
>>58471245what is 750 battles i havent finished the main quest yet, like 750 night battles or online or what?>>58471307if you have a switch1 you can always transfer your save back to edit it ive done it with bdsp>>58471378cute
>>58471403I've reached that, but just want to know the general spot
>>58471402everything is worth using if you love it enough, anon. >>58471410I'm torn on alphas having unique moves and being over all larger because i'm in love with the idea of finding pokemon and rasing them and not just catching something that's already hard eolved.
>>58471394I'm already done with post game I was only using swords dance for mega boss fights. Games enough of a 1 shot fest as is. Is xerneas allowed online? If so I can see long attack/speed/defense boosting being God tier
>>584714401k battles is required for shiny charm
>>58471445xerneas, yveltal and zygarde are banned from online. yes az floette is legal
>>58471442Alpha's 'unique' moves are just moves they learn by TM, they're special in that you can catch most of them before you get the TM but otherwise it can be taught.
>>58471442From what I understand the unique moves are just random TM moves so you can just get the TM later. I have a dig TTar which is sweet even if EQ is going to be better 90% of the time
>>58471460not all are tm moves, alpha ralts is icy wind for example. game will even tell you it can never learn the attack again if you overwrite it
Do you have a group shot of your pokemon, anon? Here's a shot of my neerdowells and also ampharos.I wish you could move around during youor group photos. being taped to a bench for group shots, or special shots is bad.
>>58471413Pokemon is just the new CoD in that it's the go to mainstream game to shit on if you want everyone to agree after how dumb Scarlet and Violet looked from the outside.The actual fanbase has criticisms of the games, rightfully so, but there's also just an army of people who haven't touched the franchise in a decade plus and scoffs at literally everything the franchise does no matter what. The fact Legends Z-A released and still gets people saying "lol is the whole game just one city??? wtf happened to the whole adventure thing?" as if the entire point of and marketing of the game isn't specifically that it's a city on a scale bigger than the series has done before.People just want schadenfreude and there's no consequences to it being based on incorrect information or without context. Case in point: "the entire game world is one model" is going to be still getting posted for months despite the fact we know that's not true and any level of critical thinking or experience with the game would show that.
>>58471472>female trainer>houndoomI know what you are
>>58471472Yeah. I wish Milotic was in this game...
>>58471471Icy Wind is a TM move. That's the message you get when you try to overwrite a move for a TM you didn't receive yet.
zygarde's shiny anus
>>58471329Shitting on Nintendo and Pokemon is part of the new YT algorithm meta after they totally bent over backwards for election tourists.
>>58471448>1k battles is required for shiny charmyeah what type of battles do you still have the night battle zones after compacting the game? you can get throguh 20 of those in a night 750 shouldnt take too long
>>58471496
Retard question Do mons need less XP to evolve if I keep them in their first form while feeding them xp share.Example: should I wait to evolve my Froakie until he is ready to become Greninja? He's just here collecting XP, not fighting. Is it beneficial to "skip" his middle evo? I am going through my boxes and leveling up mons for research and evolving them, even if they aren't for my story team
>>58471475>but there's also just an army of people who haven't touched the franchise in a decade plus and scoffs at literally everything the franchise does no matter whatyeah i have a bunch of friends who love the older games and pokemon in general but just wont pick up the switch games for some reason despite having switches they say the games look shit and call them shit when theyve never played them. they have tonnes of flaws but are still really enjoyable for me atleast especially sv/pla/plza
>>58471501It's just any trainer battle
>>58471481White girl memes are cringe and Fluffy is a good dog. Speaking of houndoom is he doomed to be trash? I wanna make him viable for later parts of the game but shit is just killing him super fast.
>>58471507As long as they stay in the same exp growth bracket it's fine to evo immediately.
>>58471507they have the same exp growth so no it won't matter
>>58471521idk how i typed compacting i meant completing i need to sleep i think lol and okay how do you view the amount youve had so far?
Started listening to the ost on youtube now and was surprised how many good themes there are.Like Corbaeu, and other of the "gym leaders".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHsUAuArezc
>>58471527half the late game is smashing stuff with a bulky close range brawler and the other half is playing really slow touhou from 30 feet away. i dont know how his moves are for the second
>>58471527everything is viable in single player my team is mostly 1st and second stage evos
>>58471527I know what you are
Are shiny pokemon easier to catch?I only use red balls so I'm worried to knock them out. Is there any way to change the weather and increase catchrate outside the plushies?
>>58471527Just go fill ranged move set with nasty plot and it will be fine
>>58471535>eSo you're telling me my team primairly comprised of fast glass cannons is going to be smashed later on unless they are at a supreme type advantage.
>>58471552Just save, if it fails reload until it doesn't
>>58471552Yes actually.
>>58471552>Are shiny pokemon easier to catch?Catch rate wise? No >I only use red balls so I'm worried to knock them out.Use weaker mons since I don't think false swipe is in the game and be prepared to wait them out spamming poke balls for awhile. Hope you don't want to hunt any low rarity mons> Is there any way to change the weatherPass time>increase catchrate outside the plushies?Use better balls lmao. Other than that no
>>58471560you can't rely on type advantage in the end segements. everything has solid coverage or you're up against multiple enemies in the big fights
can you change a pokemons pokeball?
>>58471560Bulk is king in this game. Glass canons don't do nearly as well as traditional games since you are going to have to take some hits eventually.
>>58471569>Use better balls lmao.They ugly though. Only in HGSS I'd ever use other balls
>>58471570More importantly everything has a shit load of health. You know assuming we are talking about the real fights aka megas. Trainer battles yeah it's fine
>>58471534The OST is fucking nuts and the sound direction is perfect. Pokemon has never had music this good aside from Tawada
>>58471578This would be the singles greatest addition to the game so it'll never come
>>58471588Can't say I disagree more but opinions and all
>>58471560speed is almost worthless in za, it only affects cooldowns not animation speed pr casting speed. and you will usually 1 - 3 shot everything not an alpha or rogue mega so cooldowns barely matterit’s kind of funny how the legends games always make a stat useless. in legends arceus, your atk/spa was nearly worthless, a weedle had about the same attacking power as an alakazam
What are these enhanced + moves or whatever they are called? I got them after they introduced mega evos but I don't know what the difference is.
>>58471378>>58471527>punk slut hangs out with dogs and rapist pokemonImagine my shock. The Trainer thread is a fewthreads down. Go post your whore there for attention
ok gamefreak im done with za now make a new ranger game thank you
Does Ttar have a mega
>>58471607they hit a lot harder and some moves have special properties when plussed, plus solarbeam ignores the charged time for examplei believe plus moves also pierce rogue mega’s resistance to non-mega attacks so you can clear them easily even without a mega
>>58471620Yes, i think you get it in a main story mission
>>58471607They are called plus moves yes. You press + to cast them manually and it eats a bar of mega energy. They do way WAY more damage during mega fights and in general they do something like ~3* more damage instead of 2* more for super effective attacks. When you mega evolve every attack is automatically a + move as long as it has the icon
>Alpha Slowbro has red eyes on the tail shell as wellheh
>>58471620He's a story mega It's literally the last batch in the game
>>58471624>>58471629Cool, thanks.
>Finally done levelling my Dragonair to level 55 so it evolves>Find a Alpha Dratini right afterI swear this game sometimes...
>>58471643remember you have to press + every time you want to use them on something that hasn’t mega evolvedif you want your tm moves to be able to be plus-boosted outside of mega, you can farm seeds of mastery from alphas and trade them in later in the story at the dojo
>>58471607+ moves are basically just enhancements of normal moves, the primary thing being when done super-effectively, they deal even more damage.The primary reason the mechanic exists is so you can make use of the mega gauge even if you're not using Pokemon capable of mega evolution. Also so things like the Mega fights that want you to mega evolve your mons to do big damage can be done otherwise.
>>58471638fucking GodDAMN itWhat am i going to fight with him at the end of the game??
Are there specialty buyers for stuff like mushrooms, or can you just sell everything to random pokecenters?
there is a mystery gift btw
>>58471663Thea couple major trainer fights then final boss and post game content
>>58471672You made me think there was a new one you asshole
>>58471472I'm not very far in the game, i think im going to be swapping out feraligatr and absol by the end.
Do screws show up in future story segments/after a zone gets turned into a wild zone? I have 2 screws left but haven't finished the story, no way am I searching the whole city again.
>>58471669Nope, it's just the lazy bastards refusing to update the item description. There hasn't been a dedicated Mushroom guy since Gen 5.
does the final big canari plush do anything or can I ignore it?
>>58471710Ignore
I just got my first shinyIt was a Kakuna
So is there no previous game save bonuses this time?
>>58471708That's what I thought, but you never know for sure, thanks
>>58471712congrats anon!
>Hey Mr. help me battle this Honedge, just use a pupitar!!>Honedge level 53holy fuck i want to beat the shit out of this kid.
So how many Emma's ass shots have you seen on trainer cards in ranked bros?
>>58471746I stopped doing those 1v1 matches after the Pikachu and Raichu quests.
>>58471746There's a lot of sidequests that they backloaded into the lategame-postgame that boil down to this, it's genuinely not worth worrying about them until you can farm the shit out of Alphas for Large and Medium Candies (no renewable XLs I'm afraid, seems like they're saving those for DLC) since your Mega Shards are better put towards buying all the stones.
>>58471784I just wouldn't do them. The Raichu one is the only one with a notable reward.
team flare did nothing wrong
So what's the deal with mythicals? Future events? PLA gave you all the mythicals in the base game
>>58471816Future events.
>>58471816PLA didn't have plans for post-launch support in the same way the games usually do, while this does (to some degree) since it has online multiplayer seasons. It's likely that they're coded in to be given later as events, which is what they did in Sword and Shield and Scarlet and Violet with a few mythicals (IIRC Magearna was coded into SwSh from even before the DLCs)
>>58471816Either they'll be a part of the PVP rewards, or they'll get dedicated events added in the Mega Dimension content update.
Just finished the game on 1.0, is there anything noteworthy to do or do I need to get the dlc?
>>58471746I did it with a level 33 pupitar, just kite and bait iron head, hit him and keep kiting, healing as necessary
>>58471879Get the legendary trio and Eternal Floette. That's it.
ok i finally caught and trained up my alpha mawile, what moves do i use for barbaracle? i have iron head play rough crunch and she came with stone edge
holy fuck, his scizor destroyed my team...if it weren't for health items, I would have lost for the first time in this game lol
I beat the X trainer a few days ago but I can't bring myself to keep going. Somehow I'm 10+ levels higher than the trainers in the battle zones or whatever they're called and I only have a 27 Houndoom, Ariados and Honedge. It's so boring.
>>58471822>>58471841>>58471860I see, so they're not obtainable even in the post-game, I guess I can just cheat them in then
I remember seeing a credible Champions leak that knew about VP currency before it was announced that there would be exclusive held items you could earn through limited time events. This is a lot more credible now that they've now done this with the Kalos starter mega stones in ZA.
>>58471879Catch the legendsComplete sidequests Complete PokedexComplete research tasksMake a team for online battlesAfter that it's make your own fun, with shiny hunts if you wanna do that and stuff like that.
>>58471879also FYI the DLC, despite what people are saying, is not day 1 DLC and is not available yet. It'll be out in a few months.
>>58471952the random scizor and not his mega skarmory?
>>58471993yeah, his scizor killed almost all my teamhis skarmory was easy to kill with mega emboar
>Alpha female ralts with special atk up and atk downMeant to be
Is there a 100% reward for doing all side missions?Do you ever get to go in the other locked hotel rooms?
>>58472049Natures are pretty meaningless with how easily available mints are
>>58471746>get to that side quest>just so happen to have a level 54 alpha pupitar that i was levelling on my team>still had to heal mid-battle several times to scrape byWhat the fuck were they thinking?
How do you unlock the Boutique Couture with the furisode girl blocking the entrance?
>>58472182Story
>got a Master Ball from the Infinite Royale on my 6th rematchDamn. I don't even have the one from rewards yet
>>58471704I see a lot of people using Arbok in this, is it actually good or is it just a meme i am unaware of?
>>58472184is it postgame?
>man we're all gonna die if we fuck this up>lets battle to see who should be the one to try and stop it>oh i know i lost, but i'm gonna go in anywayConsidering how shady she acts all game i was really half expecting Taunie to betray everyone once she got in the control room of ultimate weapon 2.0. like "oh btw, i'm gonna use this power to revive my dead mom or whatever"
>>58472193No
>>58472194Urbain/Taunie is such a shit character. Already bitched about it earlier but they are completely selfish and self serving. As much as they say they want to protect Lumiose they don't actuallyg ive a fuck unless it makes them look good.
>>58472193It's when you're Rank C
>>58472194I do think it's neat that the story still progresses (more naturally I might add) if you lose that battle but I don't know how the fuck you lose against that crappy team.
>>58472194>>58472199>>58472203KEEP MY WAIFU'S NAME OUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH
>>58472194>thorn tentacles start popping out of the toweroh, that's why they sent Taunie in i guess, can't wait for the fanart.
>>58472209>I love AZ so much I'm going to do everything to help him out>oh no AZ died i'm going to make sure to look after Floette and fufill his wishes>....>oh i found my grandma lol i can't look after floette anymore you do it lmao
>Legends ZA>the entire premise/gimmick is climbing from rank Z to rank A to prove you're the best>skip from rank V all the way to rank F
>>58472225you have peopel bitching about having to do 1000 battles and you expect people to be able to fucking stomach doing the climb
>>58470716yeah my gogoat raped it with horn leech and zen headbuttLida's pokemon cleared out the binacle for me, I just ignored them
>>58472225No the whole point is to find the strongest Mega Evolution user AZ literally says this in the first 30 seconds of the game's intro, there's no point keeping you in the bottom ranks where no else Mega evolves when you can be competing against others. The whole point of the bottom ranks, as it turns out, is for Quasartico to find competent people who could possibly be the strongest Mega evolution user and give them mega stones anyway.
>TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE THERE"S MORE AND MORE OUTBREAKS WE CAN'T HANDLE IT>ok just tell the fucker to rank up so he can get his mega stone we're not going to bother until he doesI mean
>>58472219I'm sure the old man will be happy to know that as soon as I can, I'm taking her far away from Lumiose City and letting her rot in boxes across games indefinitely in order to be a living trophy.
>>58472262If they even let it into Home
It's funny because Jacinthe is also a seflish bitch but at least she owns it and doesn't pretend otherwise
Does Emma ever take off her jacket?Does her special suit actually do anything?
>>58472285No.Yes. Not relevant in this game though
>>58472285No to the jacket, yes to the suit doing anything, but it's purely there for fanservice and to inspire coomer art (see: the very deliberate ass shot when she's introduced). The most you get is a throwaway line about how she would've activated the suit in a situation in case it turned dire.
>>58472288>>58472292Words cannot describe my disdain for GameFreak
>>58470709Isn't that Alpha the normal size of MEtagross?
>>58472285>Does her special suit actually do anything?it shows off her ass really really well.
>>58472231I think jumping a few ranks here and there would have been fine, skipping them all at once made it feel rushed
>>58472301https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRvEVpdr8x8
>>58472188i've always loved arbok, and the alpha one is huge which made me want it more. I just wish it had a variant spooky face for the region. Not sure why everyone else is using it
Can anyone help me out by doing quick trades to evolve my Kadabra and Haunter?
Ok fuck it, I wanted a shiny Dratini because shiny Mega Dragonite looks gorgeous but this little faggot never shows up, I'll just settle for an alpha Dragonair
>>58472339Go to >>>/vp/ they have a whole general for that shit
>>58472142Take the Protectpill
>>58472348We are in /vp/
Oh hey, this game even has its own Data Organization XIII fights
>>58472304heres a comparison between the two
why the fuck is normal onix so SMALL
>>58472262I'm still assmad they killed AZ and kept her immortal. They either should both died or lived
is there anything after catching zygarde?
>>58472465The question is if it's going to be another Spiky Eared Pichu / Starter Eevee / Starter Pikachu / Story Miraidon / Story Koraidon style situation where they're trapped forever.
>>58472500I hope we get to keep it, it feels neat to finally get something that's been in the data but unobtainable officially for like 12 years.
Does the gift lucario have predetermined ivs?
>>58472528I don't know if its guaranteed which stats but like all the other gift pokemon its probably guaranteed 3IVmine has max HP, Def, and SpDef
>what if we made skarmory insanely obnoxious to catch for some reasonfuck you niggers
>Pyroar #10 used Earth Power!
>Alpha PikachuCool, I wish Evolite was available earlier
>>58472558Welcome to the club. The fag who claims it takes 90 seconds will pop up eventually ignoring the fact you aren't even fucking favored to catch it under optimal conditions so you will likely have to do the song and dance multiple times
>Unlocked new hairNice
I've been sitting here farming a shiny ralts for 2 days instead of playing the game...
>>58472312I feel like the formula was starting to wear out its welcome already around Jacinthe, I feel like at most they could have squeezed in 2 more rank up promotion match storylines max before it turned from fun to tedium.
>>58472675It shouldn't take that long, are you sure your shiny slots are freed? It took me 10 hours for a shiny rat
>>58472680I've been finding shinies and did get an Alpha male but I need the girl ralts...
Does the infinite royale unlock something beyond the side mission at 20 wins?
>just get casulaly oneshot by zygarde?Where the fuck was the safe spot, rolling did fuckall
>>58472665is it even possible to catch this nigger in a pokeball, the rest of my team is in them so i dont wanna have one odd ball
>>58472708Interrupt it with super effective plus moves
>>58472708Core enforcer? In the triangle made between the Z, on the edge of the circle
>>58472715Of course. It's just very unlikely
>>58472490completing the dex?
What makes a Pokemon good in this game? Just bulk and coverage?
if youre trying to catch the x y legos, dont kill it. just get it low and spam your balls. when it gets frustrated or upset (immune pokeballs), just wait it out and balls again. cutscenese are wayyy too long.
>>58472772Either hit hard and bulky or hit hard and fast. Needs some decent coverage and/or good STAB. Mons capable of running good support moves like dual screens are also nice.
>managed to get all the Colorful Screws>get some shitty ass Canari plush in my room>tfw GF didn't even think about giving you the option to costumize your roomMore wasted potential
>>58472772Bulk but not put bulk. So mons like TTar that can take and dish damage are premium.. speed is a mostly wasted stat so glad cannons a la mega Beedrill suck
Half the Fairy Megas aren't even Fairy type until they Mega evolve, it's kinda weird.
>>58472778Legitimately awful advice. The cutscene is like 10 seconds long. Not that it matters since their catch rate is super high
i cant remember where the fuckin fruit stand is to buy mints
>>58472842In the rouge district, there's a market corner west of wild area 3 that sells all the mints and berries
>>58472842>>58472851
>>584728311 fight 12 pokeballs vs12 cut scenes
>>58472864From first off catch rate skyrockets when knocked out. Second off the catch rate at full fucking health is high as shit let alone low. Lastly again it is completely irrelevant. Maybe the difference between a 30 second fight and 2 minutes. Legitimately not even worth mentioning
>>58472344fuck it, cause i love alpha dragonair too
>got a female fennekin from the questbros what is Gamefreak trying to do to me...
>>58472203I lost to her. Granted I didn't know you could use items in battle.
>>58472888Kalos starters' gender and nature are fixed. Still don't understand why they made Chespin female for its quest.
>>58472891Literally how? Every fight before that in the tourney is much harder. Do you just wipe constantly?
>>58472225Postgame makes you fight 1000 trainers and it's the most hated part, skipping ranks was a sane decision
>>58472917Nope, sweeped the entire game aside from her and Lysandre. I was distracting a bit to be fair.
>>58472918I went for the elite strategy of simply not caring for the charm.
>>58470651I think the problem is most Pokemon are relatively the same size, so something like Heracross looks way too big as an Alpha, but a Tyrantrum or Gyarados looks way too small if not Alpha.
>>58472918it's more like 700 by the time you get there
Trying to get Alpha Scyther in Area 13If no Sythers spawn, should I skip to the next night?
finished the game, did a decent amount of the infinite royale, all of the restaurants, most of the dex, all of the colorful screws. this was my final team. overall had fun, even though the game clearly sucks.
>>58473041>no waifussoulless...
when I find this I think I'll just leave it where it is
>>58473055Starmie's right there bro
>>58472878big difference.
>Wanted to make mono Fairy team>Most of the Fairy types in the game are mono typeLame
Guys, do alpha pokemons have a bigger hitbox than the normal sized one? While they have guaranteed 3IVs, I feel like it's easier for them to get hit. Or is this just my imagination?
How do I get to the tm on the school roof?
>>58473102Yes, the hit box is bigger.
>>58473102Yes they are physically fatter.
does charizard really take damage from the rain or am I insaneI did not test this with other fire mons because rain is super rare
>>58473108Get to the top of the roof.
>>58473092>Mega Clefable is Fairy/Flying>Mega Altaria is Dragon/Fairy>Gardevoir is Psychic/Fairy>Mawile is Steel/Fairy>Carbink is Rock/Fairy>Klefki is Steel/Fairy
>Get all the Canari plushes>"hmm theres still 22 more screws out there"What the fuck where
>>58473132Oh yeah and>Dedenne is Electric/Fairy
>>58473127Yeah I get that, anon. But from what adjacent building do I glide over from? Or am I missing a ladder access? I got the screw but I cannot for the life of me figure out the route for the tm.
>>58473112>>58473115So there might be some advantages of using normal pokemon+hyper training then? Do AoE move scale with pokemon's size?
>>58473137I can't imagine Dedenne living for 2 seconds in this game
>>58473066Do NOT Starmie
oh I just realized the reason the first rogue mega is absol is because it's a warning. makes sense that it would want to join you after. this game is kino.
>>58473152that's why I forgot about it at first lol
>>58473147Of course. If you don't want to get hit by more attacks, use a non alpha. And AFAIK, no, the moves don't scale.
>>58473147AOE/hurt box does get bigger with size. My alpha TTar stone edge is fucking massive. In general not missing and more importantly getting multihits is probabaly worth more than maybe dodging an attack every now and then >>58473163Wrong. Pick any mon and test it.
>>58473132theres also audino and meganium if you're counting ones that turn fairy during mega
>>58473185yeah, those too, so no reason to not make a Fairy team
>>58473163You aren't going to be dodging shit anon alphas are strictly better. Look at the size difference between XS and alpha earth quakes.
how the fuck do i breed pokemonswhere is ditto
>>58473199You can'tIt isn't in the game
>>58473205What the fuck??
>>58473199take them to your hotel room
There are no alpha Eevees until endgame, feelsbadman
>>58473199Why do you want to breed? Just hypertrain.
I regret finishing the first few side quests, now I can't just explore the city without the day night cycle happening.My pokemon are lvl 25-30 so it's not a problem, but still.
>>58473271Yeah, and even then they feel rare, I reset that area so many times and I finally came across one. Meanwhile like 90% of the time I go in there it's a fucking alpha khangaskhan instead.
Has anyone found Eviolite yet/is it sold anywhere? I don't want to evolve my darling Clefairy...
fuck whoever decided 1000 battles was a good idea
>>58473426Racince Constructions. Not sure when that unlocks, I'm in post game.
>>58473460You did it in less than a week.
>>58473426I got it from a mission.
>>58473452I'll do the touch trade. Post code!!>>58473466AUGHH. Well, time to stop putting off the main missions I guess.
Why does Zygarde's big mega cannon have a butthole drawn on the front of it?
>>58473426One of the late quests, late 90s or early 100s
>>58473483Are they tradeable I can just offload one
where do i get soft sand? can't find it on google
>>58473494Side quest. If not racine constructions post game.
>Struggling to finish pokedex because beldum won't stay in the fucking ball
>>58473484It's an X and Y overlayed.
>50 hours>Only at early post-endingAm I having too much fun?
Wish me luck.
>>58473523glhf ganbatte
>>58473531Couldn't have done it without you.
>>58473545Nice capture anon. I didn't know it was a shiny.
>>58473509No like actually what the fuck no pokeball on this planet increases the chances what the fuck is this Crit capture also does fuckallWHAT IS THIS
>>58473561anon learns about beldum's catch rate and loses it. many such cases.
>>58473509>>58473561Skill issue desu.Beldum has always had a despicably low catch rate.
>>58473509>Caught beldum on my first trynot gonna pretend like i earned it, i was really shocked too.
>>58473578Yeah, I caught my Alpha Beldum in one catch too. I knocked it out though.
>First shiny outside of the free Mareep>EeveeIs Umbreon good in this game's battle system its the only shiny one I actually like
>>58473610wish is good and umbreon has a lot of HP.
Love this guy like you wouldn't believe. I wish he got a Mega.
>>58473610he was unironically my mvp, go full defense on him and give him toxic to kill anything not poison immune. he has dual heals with wish and moonlight, he can cleric with wish passing to frailer or injured teammates and also set up dual screens if you drop toxic or moonlight. just a really good support mon that can still kill easily with toxic
>>58473622Also what did he mean by this?
Speaking of Eevee, is Sylveon good in this?
>>58473610One of the best support mons in the game with Wish and screens, can attack with Toxic too. Don’t bother building offense on him, just use Toxic and Wish + Moonlight to kill anything not Poison or Steel (or Rogue Megas, but he’s still useful for screens, or you can also use Screech to make your physical mons hit a lot harder)
>>58473654My Sylveon hard carried my ass through everything. Fake Tears+Moon Blast or Draining Kiss and it just didn't die
>>58473654Yeah, I'd say so. I found an Alpha one and it puts in work.
Why’d the hate Venusaur fans so much
Can you get the fossils as alphas?
>>58473676Yes
>>584736761/100 chance, yes
>>58473634How do you get your screenshots to look non crunchy
>>58473734are you uploading them to discord?
>>58473734I have an app that I can take the screenshots from my Switch and add them to my phone without scanning twice.
Holy shit fucking nothing learns Toxic in this game
>>58473758Bellsprout
>>58473758Scolipede
Why do the D4G guys who work for Tarragon all wear the shirt that has the one picture of Canari in the whole game where she has a different hairstyle
>>58473761>>58473767Yeah I know poison types learn it as opposed to the entire fucking pokedex before, now you need to have that shitty useless STAB on your team
>>58473769I'm guessing it's because it's like one of the only two pics that have her front facing with her mask off. The other front facing is the one on her monitor but she's at an angle. It could also be because her twintails in the other arts take up too much space and wouldn't look as good if the whole image was smaller on the shirt. They should've drawn more art of her to use that's more shirt appropriate.
>>58473773umbreon is pretty much the best toxic user in the game and he isn't even poison
Should I use Flamethrower or Heat Wave for a special Fire STAB? Flamethrower has more DPS based on the move stats, but Heat Wave has a wider area of effect and (I think) more range.
>>58473773>Umbreon, Houndoom, Watchog, Simisage, Stunfisk, MewtwoWhat you don't want to use the grass monkey?
>>58473773Skill issue
>>58473773What does it matter poison sucks fucking ass in this game. It isn't good for damage since it takes too long to kill big bosses are unaffected by status and it isn't even good for catching.
>>58473817toxic kills fast and destroys alphas
>>58473810Flamethrower range is ass but I'm not so sure about heat waves range either.
>>58473810Swap between them when you go into major fights >I don't want toThen flame thrower
>>58473822>>58473810I personally use Flamethrower, but idk Heat Wave might be better.
>>58473819>toxic kills fast Not even a little bit. Even if we are talking cheese I would rather parish song and murder everything at once after running around for a bit >and destroys alphasSo does clicking moves. Alphas stop being a problem I certainly you get some megas
Big man Charizard. Hopefully I can find a shiny one soon.
>>58473810>>58473822>>58473824>>58473825It looks like Heat Wave has almost double the range.
>>58473853>Just tried to flame thrower without getting closerAnon your mon is retarded what the hell? This is why I use heracross and ttar 90% of the time. Fuck it go full range
>>58473853>Lvl 77 BraixenI know what kind of man you are
>>58473853I had a feeling Heat Wave had more range, but that's insane. That seems way more beneficial than the tiny DPS advantage that Flamethrower has. Thanks for showing me that, I'm definitely going with Heat Wave now.
>>58473859I thought ranged attacks were done by the players side and physical contact attacks like Tackle and Fire Punch made the mon get closer.
>>58473870Heatwave is not a ranged attack like flamethrower that just puts something that causes harm if touched. It is a tracking attack that will most likely hit a target even in movement. Those moves are, in my opinion, better than just throwing a beam.
>>58473874my pokemon adjust themselves to the distance of the target and if they are far from it get closer, it is in cramped spaces that ranged attacks become lamer since the thing is in attack range while their animation finishes
>>58473853Psyshock > Psychic for the same reason
>>58473862I'm glad you can get multiple Kalos starters because I really don't want to evolve her, but also I can't be living without a Delphox.
>>58473885but psychic isn't a beam it also just drops an aoe under the target's feet
>>58473879its the same reason i really like Play Rough, it's the melee version of the same thing, doesn't matter how much they're moving, once its locked on its gonna hit. way fucking better than Iron head which will miss unless they're also trying to attack you back.
>>58473676*head smashes you*
>>58473901Iron Head and Thunder Wave are the two shittiest attacks in terms of range in this game. Thunder Wave is so slow it’s like Whispy Wood’s air bullets except those are probably faster. But paralysis in general just sucks in this game, meanwhile burn and toxic are pretty great.
>>58473879>>58473901Thanks for the extra info, anons. Greatly appreciated.
>>58473884It depends on the attack. Mid range attacks will adjust while long range won’t.
What level is the final boss?
>>5847402784
>serebii finally adds a ZA pokedex page>clicking it just brings you to the SV oneJOE!!!!!
LEFT NUMBER RED
>>58473853based braixen enjoyer
>>58474015I don't disagree, my Pyroar will adjust himself if he is out of range but if he is within range it will just aim up or down, they have to be really really close for it to not hit which is extremely rare
>>58474264>>58474264>>58474264cock
