>43 hours on save file>completed pokedex>did all side quests except for the one you get after 20 reward matchesHave a few mabel requests left to do, really not looking forward to 1000 trainer grinding for shiny charm. 3/10 postgame at best.
>Az gives you Korrina's Lucario after you beat the gameFor what purpose? What do I do with it?
pkhex update when
NPC: "I want to make a sick tea using Pansage leaves, Pansoak water, and Pansear heat."Me: ".... please no."NPC: "Let me pluck some leaves off your Skiddo so I can make a perfume."Me: "WHY?"NPC: "Bring your Budew over here."Me: "please don't do anything Fucking Weird with it."
>>58488766When? I beat the game and I didn't get a Lucario.
>>58488774Whenever I feel like it.
>>58488791>I've heard Budew saliva is great for penis enlargement.
Is there anything I can do to try and get XS or at least S size Pokemon consistently? It feels utterly ridiculous that I reset a zone and get 3 fucking Alphas of the same Pokemon spawn at once but no smalls ever.
>>58488805it's in your room
>>58488766why the fuck does he have Korrina's Lucario? is she dead or something? lol. im pretty sure she gave the other to Calem.
>>58488842He said she gave it to him to be his bodyguard because by ZA he's old and sick.
Is there really no way to check the form of your Pumpkaboo through menus?
>>58488766>>58488842its the same one you fight mega Absol with, and its not like he has a use for it anymore
>>58488766You hold onto it so you can then Mega Evolve it into Mega Lucario Z during the Mega Dimension campaign.That's the clear intent behind giving you Korrina's Lucario despite the fact you can also catch Lucario from Zone 20.
>mfw my team gets swept by earthquake spam
>>58488852It literally says what form it is
>>58488852There is. Go to summary and press down
>Xerneas and Yveltal don't have rogue mega-style boss fightspretty disappointing, what was the point of Vinnie making me practice rogue mega fights before catching them again?
>>58488867Probably didn't want to give them too much fanfare and have people expecting them to Mega.My understanding is GF doesn't want to give them anything until they eventually make an XY remake, which will probably also be the next time we see new megas after Mega Dimensions, probably a decade from now.
>>58488861Eelektross without levitate just feels wrong
>>58488863nta but i looked at the summary pages up and down and didn't see a single thing about its forme
Best way to farm bottle caps?
>>58488899Only way to get them is Infinite Royale rewards, unfortunately. There'll probably be an easier method in the DLC, there's a lot of conveniences that are notably absent or in extremely limited/tedious quantity.
>>58488867same as most sidequests, its a tutorial to tell you they're offering rogue mega refights
>>58488894(You) play as a stinky Frenchie, just pretend Neutralizing Gas is always in effect
these shiny fletchlings keep disappearing on me. god fucking damnit
>>58488917The MC is a tourist so they could be from anywhere
>side mission 66 is a quest where a police officer wants you to catch him a Shuppet because it can detect negative emotions so he can 'catch crimes before they even happen'Thoughtcimes? WTF is this dystopian city.
Why couldn't they just give is Linking Cables and call it a day
>>58488950I guess because they focused on multiplayer this time so they felt it wasn't needed.
Did they increase the odds for freezing a pokemon in this? My Glalie is freezing everything
>>58488939Joke's on him that ghost is with IA.
>>58488950Gotta push nintendo plus subscriptions
>>58488950Because LZA isn't a singleplayer-focused game, in case the FOMO Mega Stones tied to PVP didn't clue you in already.
>>58488939ZA is part of the PKD megaverse??
>>58488982>he doesn't have friends he can trade with in person
>yakuza loan shark and player character team up in a 2v1 battle to curb stomp a protestor who is just asking a ceo to explain why they're ruining parislmao what the fuck is this game
>>58488939... at least get an Absol?
is there XS in legends ZA?
>>58489043i mean to be fair the protestor was the one who started the fight
>>58489043Pokemon is atoning for its prior Anti-Yakuza stance with Team Rocket by painting the Yakuza in a better light through the Rust Syndicate.
whats the best mon to counter the 15 garchomps in every ranked battle
>>58489100There is but it's very rare
>>58489110that was the mafia, very different, please understand
>>58489123Garchomp
I have caught a Salamence and named it Cynthia.
>>58489123One of the gay fairies
>>58489123probably gyarados LOOOL
>>58489110Rename to Like A Trainer when?
>>58489123Mega Clefable
>>58489131>my garchomp and there garchomp both dragon rush each other at the same time>they both miss
Made it to K rank using non min maxed Gardevior, Excadrill and Gyarados. Hell, I didn't even advance far enough into the game to be able to mega Excadrill but his drill attack destroys anything it's weak too.Mainly got first and second place with one third place.Overall, nice variety of pokemon online ATM.
Why do some clothing items randomly cost 100k
>>58489129Only in localization, because NoA knew the easiest way to translate the concept of a yakuza clan to westerners was to make them a mafia group, seeing as how Americans were very obsessed with mafias ever since The Godfather.
>>58489162I think it's the ones that are part of NPC outfits, you can buy Canari and Gwynn's shoes or Corbeau's glasses.
Just got to the first triple mega mission in the main game. When and where do I get Aron?
>>58489177An area you probably haven't unlocked yet
I caught an Alpha Whirlipede a few days ago holy fuck Alpha Scolipede is enormous.
>>58489162Rich Asshole line. Similar reason IRL to ugly ass clothes going for $500 for no reason.Especially jarring when its shoes that are otherwise the same as other shoes by the same company.
Do I give the top one an adamant mint, or do I go for the based option?
>>58489127Damn, 10 espur and i've got 2 smalls, but both were male.
>>58489166Did Giovanni's original art in Japan look like a Yakuza and not a greaseball from New Jersey?>>58489177Wild area 14.
>>58489123In my 10 matches so far, I've only seen 1 person use garchomp and promptly destroyed it with my Gardevio
>>58489221Honestly his artwork felt more like a rich douchebag rather than yakuza or mafioso.
Am I seriously supposed to get more than 1 Furfrou to fight this bitch with her 6 Furfrou, I can only beat like 4 before mine gets worn down.
>>58489275just catch multiple alpha ones it takes like 5 minutes
>>58489123Run away and snipe with icicle crash
My hero
>>58489123I'm having a lot of fun with Avalugg.
>>58489305marriage
>haha fight me with a pikachu with light orb or whatever the fuck>it has digWhy? Why is this even allowed?
>>58489356just put dig on your own pikachuhe will always protect at the start which will whiff against your dig, then use double team, which has a long enough invulnerability to dodge his dig
Game freak does not like their adult fans
>>58489356>complaining about the enemy using a move that you yourself can use
>>58489356You can avoid dig by using dig yourself.
>>58489286OK I managed to 2v6 them by abusing plussed Giga Impact to oneshot them before most of them could do anything and swapping to the other Furfrou between every KO to skip Giga Impact's cooldown.Funny fight, I kind of like being forced to find a way to cheese with a shitmon.
For the budew contest, is there different dialogue if you have an alpha?
Can you change your name?
>>58489523No
Can you actually pay off corbeau
Is there any better way for 1000 battles? I'm going insane.
Glacia?
>>58489585Le Nah
>>58489590T-that's what I'm doing...
>>58489593I'm sorry for your lots. I'll lady to rest when its over.
nigger fuck this 10 round shit with no healing what the fuck
>>58489593If you have a turbo controller, just stuff your team full of high-level fire types (that way you can't be burned by the Fire Trainer), equip them with Rocky Helmets, get the controller to turbo on A, and let the game run for the day while you do other shit, then when you come back tomorrow, you should've made considerable progress if not 1000 battles accomplished outright.This unironically works, I used it to skip most of my final 500 battles so I could spare myself from the misery of the grind.
>1000 battlesFor the restaurant, does the sushi place count 3 battles per person since it's three Pokémon? Or just 1 since its one person
>>584896091 person.I'm just going around one shotting everything with dragonite at night and getting like 35 every night cycle because I don't know how to ideally route and it's only less painful because of how fucking silly the mechanics can get. Still need 250 more though.
>>58489609Per person
I really like Aurorus' design, it's a shame it's got the worst typing in the game.
>>58489609The fastest one is restaurant le nah. It's 3 battles of level 30 Pokémon, which you can kill in about 30 seconds. You can AFK it if you have a turbo controller too, and you go money positive from it so it'll run indefinitely.
I've rested at bench about 50 times trying to get a S or XS Mawile and I've gotten none.But in that same time I found a shiny and about 10 alphas (at one point all three Mawile were alpha at the same time).This is stupid.
>>58489636>special-oriented rock/ice>can't learn a single goddamned special rock move because the only one that exists in LZA is Power Gem>the move it historically couldn't, and still can't, learn for the life of it
And bench and 50 yard methods for shiny hunting, they don't actually respawn pokemon right? They only reroll current spawns?i'm at like, 30 espurrs, 3 males have been small but 0 females
Is there a better site for working out IVs than Serebii? I fucking despise them locking judging behind story completion.
>>58489700what kind of autist gives a shit about ivs before the story is over
>>58488894It feels wrong that Pokemon that are floating but not a flying type can avoid spikes but they'll still get hit with Earthquake.
Zygarde’s 50% form felt more dangerous than his 100% in his postgame boss fight.
>combed the entire city for screws>99/100
>>58489700You get an IV checker after you beat the game.
>>58489733This is why I'm avoiding collecting any more screws until the end game to avoid this sitution.
>>58489000I'm an adult with adult friendsThey don't play games for children
>>58489721It's always felt wrong to me that mud shot etc. can't hit flying types or levitating pokemon despite it explicitly being a projectile and not the ground itself being manipulated.>>58489733It's literally just a big Canari plush doll for your room at the hotel which you haven't been back to voluntarily ever.
>>58489585Cheat

>>58489585My man, just wait for the battle zone to spawn where the city council building is, warp there, and run around it while slamming out trainersThe route is quite simple, you walk in, go counterclockwise around the building until you hit the scaffolds, run down the back alleys to the staircases, then go up the ladder and do a few fights that drop you off back at the startYou can easily do 40+ battles like this, not even being optimal, and you get both a shitload of money and progress toward matches
I don't know why it didn't occur to me that I can just visit Quasartico in the middle of the night, do my challenger ticket and farm up another one sooner. Your Pokemon's HP even gets restored before and after the battle so it's even a convenient way to top up your party. I was able to do 3 fights and get 3/5ths of the way to the fourth.
>>58489777During the main game I always tried doing my challenger fight before morning came because it ended everything off with this cool black screen showing your winnings instead of the usual luminose high-view.
>>58489733found it, hiding in a fucking closed off flatiron building
>just realized you get evs for ko and catch so with a bracer you get like 20 evs per monwell that would've saved some time
kinda thread related, the code for the trenchcoat comes with every physical copy of the game?
>>58489830noi went to gamestop and picked it up and specifically asked and they said it was on a physical card that they had run out of already
>>58489818Not like getting EVs is hard when every alpha comes with 252 hp already and you end up with infinite money for other vitamins if you've done a few royales.
>>58489834megaFUG
>>58489840it's not like it matters, you can get a nice coat anyway
>>58489834classic gamestop xd
>>58489842I loved the original Black coat back in XY, please tell me it (and/or every other clothing piece from XY) is back
>>58489849I got a long ass black coat pretty early, there's plenty of colors for each clothing piece

Is your team themed?
>>58489588Lorelei actually
>>58488711erm is that a freaking Jojo reference
>>58489928I made my character based on Kuonji Alice from Witch on the Holy Night and themed my team based on her Ploy familiars.Will be nicknaming my Zygarde 'Flat Snark'
>>58489928Yes, it’s a me theme, all pokemon I like
>>58489834Your store lied to you, My receipt had the code on it
>>58489964If he's in a different region they might do distribution differently. But yes they lied to him because that shit always gets put aside by the staff to resell later online.
>>58489975Honestly, they probably thought he meant the miraidon/koraidon codes
Oh boy got a gold bottle cap, they actually exist...
>>58488931save before you go near them you can close the game fast and they wont dissapear
>>58489830i didnt get one from amazon preorder
How do you breed pokemon in this game?
>>58490055there isn't breeding in this game
i've never used breeding in games, cuz i dont want to get cucked by ditto. im autistic.
Have been trying to spawn a female alpha Fennekin for an hour...
>>58489943>Witch on the Holy NightI ended up hunting down a physical copy for the switch right before they totally sold out. Considering it doubled in price, it was worth it.
>Medals cap at 9999laaaame
Anyone having any issues with certain moves or certain pokemon using certain moves? So my starmie knows Surf, Ice Beam, and Power Gem. When it uses Ice Beam or Power Gem it will do the animation but will not actually shoot the beam out and does no damage. When it uses surf it will summon the wave, the wave will go like two or three inches and then vanish, again not doing any damage.At first I thought it was stuff getting in the way, however I've used it in the middle of a street and it still does this. Anyone experience something similar to this?
should i put the last 4 evs in def or spdef
every time i hear an XY remix, i unironically basedface. i know people hate it, but XY was my first pokemon game. lol.
>>58488711I've just taken down Rouge Mega Amphoros, finally nice to get the mega stone for my own.My team is around Level 60, I'm hoping I'm not too over-levelled for this part of the story, I still get killed by Alpha's however.Alpha Avalugg is a beast.
I made the mistake of continuing to battle in ranked after reaching K since I've hit the autistic battler zone where if you don't min max, you're ending up in 4th.
>>58489729I loved Zygarde's design until they made dog and robot. Those are not dragons.
>>58490100What's the size on them? I had a size S Clauncher that couldn't use some moves, I think because it was too close to the ground. It stopped being a problem when it evolved and started floating.
>>58490127You don't have to minmax. I had a dead weight on my team up to A.
>>58490151Tell me your ways, all my matches now have my opponents always managing to attack faster than me and my attacks leaving them with a sliver of health where they immediately switch out on me. I assume if I min maxed, I'd get that extra amount of damage to get the kills.
>>58489729His final form is more dangerous to me because I have no idea how to dodge the Z laser attack.
>>58490180level adp
>>58490144It's am M size. I was thinking it could be a size thing too. I installed the 1.0.1 update and it seemed to stop.. Not sure. Something to keep an eye out for.On a side note I hope they patch the bug where pokemon using range moves will move out of range of the attack to attack. Cannot tell you how many times i've seen my pyroar run to its range spot only for the flamethrower beam to not reach the target. This is unware out of combat targets mind you.
Is there a trick to finding Drampa in zone 19 or is it just really rare?
>Use Floette's Light of Ruin on an Alpha Pangoro in Wild Area 20>Takes 100% recoil and dies>Didn't even kill it
>>58490180There’s safe triangles on the edges
>alpha pyroar on the ground>alpha mawile on the roof>skarmory has an abysmally low catch rate
This is my teamcept Dratini is now a Dragonair, they're level 44 now and I don't know if I shouldcontinue to farm mega shards, money and generic items to make more money, but more mega stones and complete maple's tasks, finally buy some fasion even through I like what the starter clothes represent, you're wearing your friends stuff, Naveen gave you the hat, Urbain gave you the jacket, I didn't get anything from Lida but that probably comes later.I'm currently at the point where it wants me to fight Mega Slowbro and I don't feel confident that whichever one of my partners I choose can beat it yet, they're all rather big so they aren't as nimble as Lucario at dodging attacks and as far as I can remember the mega pokemon work like terrilization and dynamax raids where you have to utalize the gimmick yourself if you want to win.unrelated, is Zeraora, heatman and darkrai really confirmed for mega?
>>58490239>as I can remember the mega pokemon work like terrilization and dynamax raids where you have to utalize the gimmick yourself if you want to win.Even if your preferred mons don't have Megas, you can still use Plus Moves to deal Mega-like damage, they'll just take up one chunk of your Mega Bar per move.
>>58490163Don't initiate unless you can secure the kill in 2 (at worst 3) quick hits because someone will come and kill steal. Something like mach punch is good as a finisher.If you see a 1v1, try to kill steal.If you deal 3/4ths damage, they will switch out. Delay your attack or disengage.Theres a lot of attacks that have long windups and obvious tells. You can switch or Mega evolve just before the attack is active to not take damage.It's okay to just walk around and not attack. Try looking for openings.These are just general tips. Team comp wise I was just messing around with jank which is why the last sentence is the most important. It probably too me longer than the average person to get to A.
>>58490100are you using mods
>>58490222sit on the benchit spawns in the morning so it will be there if you go straight to the zone after using the bench
>>58490239You can use plus ( + ) moves instead of mega just fine. Mega slowbro is easy, without spoiling anything. it telegraphs its big phase change moves so you can evade even with fat mon.
>>58490259Why are people such bullies online, I was starting it out for the first time and brought a bunch of random mons I caught into it,My opponents had uber mons like evolved starters, shiny alphas and large area of effect moves, I was terrified, I was just running around with my Pichu trying to get away from this guy chasing me with his mega evolved Charizard while the other two duked it out in the back ground, is this really the only way to get Mega Greninja's stone?
>>58490283it's ranked idk what to tell you. nobody in their right minds are going to sandbag for you just because you brought a pichu
Does mega dragonite kind of suck or is it just me. I'm honestly not really feeling the ATB feel of things quite yet
>>58490222It spawns in the pavillion during the day so if there's a dog there kill it.>>58490236Imagine this but you have balltism so you're determined to get it in a standard pokeball.
>>58490236I don't like the catch rates in this game at all. Even outside of my pyschopathic need to catch everything in the O.G red and white pokeballs. It hurts seeing a pokemon only get three arrows with no health, a status effect, and ultraball in hand.I guess gamefreak took it personal when everyone said ultraballs in Legends Arceus were masterballs.
Do you think we’ll have to collect Gimmighoul coins yet again in the DLC?
>>58490283Without mega raichu being available yet, its prob suicide to field anything from that line, except for opportunistic kill steals. Raichu can learn Surf, which is hilarious how easily they serve it on a silver platter to you nowadays.
>>58490290i don't like it in za. in the cartridge, you can probably just mega turn 1 and run full spa but you use your pokemons outside of mega a lot in za and the atk/spa swap for mega dragonite sucksgarchomp is the king of pseudo dragons in this game, ground is a vastly better stab and its shitty speed is irrelevant in this battle system
>>58490300>found a shiny Falinks>only default or ultraballs are passable but ultra is lame and default seems like a waste>online says moonball is in the game but its behind IZABalltism was a mistake. At least it wont feel like a complete waste since i can do 1000 trainers at the same time.
>>58490259Any good pokemon and moves to look for more than mach punch?
Do alphas have a bigger hitbox and a bad idea to use or am I tripping
Is pokemon really fomo dlc preorder bonus bullshit? Or can you still get everything just by playing the game?
>>58490346they have a bigger hitbox but their moves are also bigger
>>58490302Outside of balltism (I really think they should just let you change ball post capture, even if it's for a cost), I am ok with it, by end game I'd solved it by using quick balls from the back without being seen and in ideal controllable circumstances this gets you like 20% catch rate at worst, maybe a little less for alphas
>>58490273>>58490300Thx. I finally have the final member of my squad
>>58490347Pokemon Legends Arceus is the only game they've ever released where you can just play the game and not miss on stuffFOMO bullshit has been the way they've operated since the nineties
>>58490335Would be nice if you could change the Ball for any of your 'mon, maybe you need to trade in something precious, like a bottlecap for the service.
>>58490363Arceus totally has some early purchase mystery gift shit.
>>58490346The real debuff is not seeing a good chunk of your screen, depending on which alpha we're talking about.
>muh balltismdon't care lmao
>>58490355they really fucking hate letting you customize mystery gift mons; there's no way in hell they'd let you swap out the cherish ball for something else. i guess they could limit it to pokemon whose ot is you
I feel autistic playing this game.
>>58490381I was chucking Ultra Balls until since I didn't want to risk any scenarios where I'm getting mobbed and potentially accidentally KOing the point of interest before I can actually focus on getting it, then when I learned their catchrates are inflated I swapped to Premier Balls like I normally do for my shiny catches.
>>58490355Why there isn't a fucking machine in the professor's lab every game that you put a pokemon and an empty pokeball in to transfer is beyond me. Probably some wank like "we want people to form a history with their pokemon" as the excuse to not spend the fifteen minutes it would take a programmer to implement and three hours of testing it would need to be debugged.>>58490368Just make it so that the ball the pokemon is already in breaks when you do, that's the cost. If you want to use ultras for the better catch rate and then battle with pokemon in normal balls you can, but see above re: dumb design goals and philosophy.
Anyone have two trade-evo pokémon they'd be willing to send me to help me do Mable's rsearch? I can send trade evos in return
This 1000 battle objective feels a little egregious even if you're speed killing battle zones. What really makes it feel like a kick to the shins if that you'll do every single other objective and be a mere 100 points off the Shiny Charm just to require a 2k point objective cap it off.
>>58490394Because you are.
>>58490381Youre dressed like that kirby girl.
I hate Heavy Slam the AI always dodges shit with this move, more than they do with the actual dodge ones like Double Team.
>>58490420What is egregious is that the shiny charm will be locked out if you don't play online. Even if you use Home to complete the dex once compatibility is added you'd miss out on the fat research rewards for trade evos.
>>58490420To finish the main missions, you need to win the final royal 15 times.To unlock the final side mission, you need 20.Going for that, that's already a very large chunk of reqs
>>58490436I just hit the 15 streak and I'm at 452 battles.
>>58490436I've finished 23 Infinite Royales and I'm barely at 600 wins.
>>58490448>>58490449Do you stop the night fights once you get the ticket or something?
>>58490460you cash in the ticket and then continue battling through the night. why waste points?
>>58490433The shiny charm has always been impossible to get without online thanks to trade evos and version exclusives, PLA was the one exception
>>58490467>why waste points?It synergizes with Magnolias busywork you have to do anywayStopping for the reward match means less zone fights means less cash out at the end
>>58490426Adoline? Is she in the new game?
>>58490460No, you just do your reward match and continue farming during the same night. You can still reasonably hit around 35-40 wins a night while simultaneously farming points for reward matches.It's not like doing more battles per night actually makes the process faster since time gets paused whenever you're in a battle, menu or cutscene. >>58490483>Stopping for the reward match means less zone fights means less cash out at the endNot really. I've hit the medal cap with 42 battles, in which I had 3 reward matches. Some bonus card payouts are pretty huge. The important thing is hitting the 3x multiplier, which is trivial.
>>58490483>less cash out>can buy out every clothing store for less than 5 mil and still have a fat bankroll for vitaminsMoney is a joke in this game and shit is locked behind online battles/trade to make you pay more.
>>58490363Not really. You could get everything in the previous games, sure you had to trade but there weren't mega stones locked out because you were offline
>>58490502>here weren't mega stones locked out because you were offlineRemind me, how did you get Mega Blaziken in XY before ORAS launch?
>>58490502>there weren't mega stones locked out because you were offlineWas that not the case with charizard and mewtwo X/Y? It's been a while
>>58490517Also Blazikenite till ORAS
>>58490483you don’t really lose much time because it’s just a short run from the quarsatico inc fast travel and time is paused during the ticket fightgetting the apricot balls is a far better reward than the meagre cash from maybe missing 1 or 2 fights and you’ll also get vitamins or nuggets which sell for more than what you’d miss from a battle anyway

Has there ever been a pokemon game with more fuckable characters? Canary and Lida are great. I like the stupid little dance Lida does everytime at the start of the combat.Also, who is Zita's mother and why is the evil-aura company boss not relevant at all?
>>58489609Autobattle would come in useful here
>>58490283>, I was terrified, I was just running around with my Pichu trying to get away from this guy chasing me with his mega evolved CharizardKek
>>58490420Maybe you're supposed to wait for the dlc
What will the new overworld collectible grind for the DLC be? Gimmighoul coins? Even more colorful screws?
>>58490259>Delay your attack or disengage.We are using delay tech in porkymon za? So what do I do if I’m in the corner both of us have full mega meter? Do I wake up with a flaming sky uppercut or predict and tech the throw?
Anyone remember where you can find an orange and blue flabebe? I swear I never find these things when I'm actually looking for them
>>58490694Mega Sharts
>>58488861earthquake has been restored to gentoo level OP
>>58490694I'm honestly surprised the base game didn't have you collecting Zygarde cells and instead just said "here's 99, btw you already had one"
>>58489123THE DAILY DOSE
>>58489585>ha can't become zen with the grind you are unworthy
>>58490698Perfect just frame cancel your mega into boosted low mid espeed
>>58489781I think you can get the same black screen if you end the night manually by sleeping at hotel z
>>58490708>>58490726But there will have to be a way to evolve Gimmighoul in this game, right? Since you won’t be able to transfer it to SV to evolve it with coins there?
>>58489356This was literally one of the only interesting side quest battles in this entire game.Took me a few tries but I had my alpha pikachu hold evolite, use reflect, charm, play rough and some other offensive move. I didnt have the dig tm.
special moves fucking suck against rogue megas because your pokemon for some reason has to run to your side to use the move and you have to move around so much you're almost always far away from your pokemon
love how corbeau hits the peggle 2 jump when he sends his mons out
so when the fuck does the game open up? the second wild area only had 4 shitmons
>>58491084You are open all of the time to play the game.
>>58491088the fruity tootie short shorts bitch won't let me explore
>>58491084You are officially off the leash once emma tells you to go do some sidequests
>beat the game>have to wait until next year for dlcWhat now?
>instead of normal pokemon combat you now just have to spam whatever moves arent on cd like it's xenoblade
yesterday i found a shiny dratini in a roof i couldnt access yet
>>58491130>spamWhy do people do this? Just press it when it goes online.
>>58491118do 1000 battles?
>>58491118Have you tried playing another game
>>58491118Have other interests like a normal human being
>>58491118Your shiny livingdex? Your shiny alpha livingdex? You are not even CLOSE to done kid.
>>58491130Play ranked. And see how that works in the top ranks
How difficult will the Rogue Mega Tatsugiri battle be if it still has a gimmick with Dodonzo and Dodonzo is part of the fight?
>>58489366Good, I wouldn't either.
>>58491118Shiny Hunt or do all the side quests.Build and experiment with teams.Breeding isn't a thing, but you can still unlock the ability to track and judge stats so you can try to get the perfect pokemon of your choice.

>>58490357Based team. Who's getting replaced?
>>58490100I've only had that happen when there's something in the way, are you sure you aren't getting blocked by a lamp post or something
>>58491145skill issueapparently shinys don't despawn though (unless you scare them off or fail to catch)
>have a Shiny and an Alpha of the same pokemonWhich one should I use?
>>58491652The one that looks better
God I love Dazzling Gleam and its fast animation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7k6ilm5QJwtl;dr - speed gives you a flat cooldown reduction that scales linearly to the speed stat, however there's a cooldown floor of 3 seconds, so you can't make a cooldown faster than that.So, if you've got enough speed to reduce cooldowns by 4 seconds, it'll reduce ALL cooldowns, by 4 seconds, but you can't make a cooldown faster than 3 seconds.
>>58491693Yep, feels pretty useless since you should be two tapping shit and maybe bust out as third move to finsih the job
>>58490011no they didn't, i asked about it and checked my receipt just in case
>>58491702I wouldn't say it's useless, it certainly makes high power, high cooldown moves more viable on faster Pokemon since you have the capacity to reduce their cooldown to something more reasonable. At high speed, it's easier to cycle between two STAB high power super effective moves without sacrificing downtime. However, in an online setting it's better to prioritise coverage.What actually complicates things is that because you can't reduce activation and recovery times (besides using quick claw), hitting the cooldown floor won't be important for most moves since they take more than 3s to execute anyway.
>>58491773In general though, I wouldn't bother investing into it. If the pokemon is naturally fast you can play into it, but in this game just putting EVs into HP + main attacking stat is a lot more reliable since it'll have more universal coverage for whatever you up come against.
>>58491773>cycle between two STAB high power super effective movesThat's pretty niche, but cycling between strong stab and SE move should still do the job or at least bring you close enough to finish with whateverBulk absolutely feels way more useful
>didn’t want to use a waifu team>game decides I should
>>58491773>it certainly makes high power, high cooldown moves more viable on faster Pokemon since you have the capacity to reduce their cooldown to something more reasonablethere's like almost none of that. stuff like outrage and earthquake all reset fully by the time the next pokemon is sent out. the only shit that doesn't fully reset between kills is like giga impact and equivalent
>>58491901Post shiny alpha waifu team
>>58492012These are all female, so I guess they count. Just having really mixed results since Froakie was the only one of these I was actually hunting.
>>58492068Whoops
early mon pool is pretty dogshit actually
>>58492071ZAMN
>>58492097I feel like they could have easily doubled the dex here.
>>58492097idk if you mean variety because if you meant power, there are some stupidly broken shit you can get before they even let you off the forced handholding section
>>58492109how many mons are in the game? seeing nothing but kanto johto and kalos mons so far and its pretty disheartening given all the "praise" the game is getting
>>58492117Dex is 230
>>58492117>how many mons are in the game?Unlimited, but dex is 230
>>58492119>230is that a fucking joke what the fuck
>>58492097I actually enjoyed the limited selection for the first time in a while, made the early game difficult instead of letting you get a fully stacked team from the start
>Jynx isn't inSad!
>>58492117>pretty disheartening given all the "praise" the game is gettingOnly autists haven't gotten over Dexit.
>>58492143swsh had double the available mons BEFORE dlc
>>58492153Then go play that.
>>58492153Bloated.
>>58492132you can get an alpha gyarados and lucario basically the moment they let you into into the first 2 - 3 wild areas, i found riolu on the rooftop near hotel z. these 2 mons will pretty much shit on everything in the early game by themselves
We're off to destroy the Eiffel Tower
How am I supposed to use Smokescreen effectively when targeting a wild pokemon with it aggros them even if they're usually docile? Just hope there are some targetable rocks around if I want to stealth?
>>58492097Honedge is good.
>>58492214This is a bizarre question to ask considering Pokemon have been in the workforce for decades, if not centuries. Maybe it's a French thing.
>>58492214>Think Pokemon will just do manual labor>Actually take all the creative jobsHmmm
>>58492243STOP POSTING SOULLESS SMEARGLE ART
I really hope the DLC gives a sidequest where we can actually watch Tinkaton in action hunting some unsuspecting Corviknights
>>58492224Maybe your just too close. I've been able to use buffs and stuff without triggering agro.
Megas were a mistake. Theres not a single interesting design in za. Froslass loos like a gmax. There are like 4 good mega designs and the rest are bad.Gardevoir, sceptile, mawile and banette. I can do without the first two if it means we never get megas. The last two shouldve been new evolutions.
>>58492299
Dragalge is my favorite of the new megas so I want to try to make a team built around one for online. What would be some good partners for it? I'm thinking of using Meganium since it can set screens and take care of the Grounds Dragalge fears, while Dragalge walls the Poisons that threaten Meganium, but I'm unsure who the third option should be. Skarm could be cool for a Steel/Fairy/Dragon core, but that also leaves two Fire weak pokemon, and from my online experience Emboar is a very common Pokemon. Plus Skarm is a bitch to catch.
>>58492299That's such a 2013 take
Does it really become harder to grind mega shards after beating the game?
>>58492124No one complained about Arceus having a smaller dex
>>58492279Could be, I'll give that a shot. I guess wild pokemon probably only care about seeing trainers targeting them, not other pokemon
>>58492299you sound like you fuck pokemon>>58492327both of them are weak to Ice as well, so consider something that can handle that like Aggron
>>58492390not really
Sad that all electric pokemon in this game sucks except Ampharos. Where my is nigga Magnemite...
>>58492458Get gud
>>58492458Wouldnt know, my first shiny was Electrike.
>>58492458Eelectross
>>58492483I want one but they're annoying to try and farminstead I've found 4 shiny Pidgeys, 2 of which instantly flew away and despawned
>feel like replaying the game>but the pokemons I want only appear in lategamezzz
>>58488711Has anyone found something alluding to this at all?
>>58492678Yeah...
>>58492678there's a girl that has a speech bubble that says she has yet to find out what the fuck this meant
>>58492725That sucks. I figured they'd make a side mission or something about it.
>>58492756naw, you can't even enter this building
What starter to pick for the in game battles? Leaning towards Totodile and doing a loose Dragon monotype run but I wonder if I will be fucked later in the game.Heard good shit about Meganium but graas type is... weird. Emboar being slow and having 65 Defenses and Speed sucks donkey balls.
>>58492859Emboar’s speed doesn’t matter that much when you’re able to OHKO 99% of things
>>58492859Totodile. There isnt a good variety of water types in this game.
>>58492859totodile is the best one but i think gyarados is still a better water-type. he does have 2 good water stabs as opposed to gyarados who can only use waterfall but gyarados has other things like bounce and stone edge
>>58492458Gardevoir is the best electric type
>>58492678Did you even get halfway through the story? lolWhat’s the first line Lysandre says to you?
Does Emma ever use her expansion suit?
>>58493047No, her suit having powers is only ever mentioned once as a throwaway line so people who played the XY postgame story can point and clap.
What's the restaurant with the triple battles? I can't find it again and I want to farm battles
>>58493035Cool dex, kid, Sycamore is a cool guy, Btw, I desire genocide.
I’m confused, why do so many people claim that ZA is not a mainline pokemon game when it clearly is
>>58493035I don't know, it just seems like he coincidentally said the same thing. If they were going to make a callback to this scene, you'd think they use a ghost girl...https://youtu.be/4-eNBFfQFnA?t=84
>>58493173It's autists who keep espousing "DEATH OF LE AUTHOR!!!!!" whenever something comes up they personally disagree with, and they personally believe the Legends games are spinoffs despite the franchise officially viewing them as mainline titles.
So what else is left after the main story, does it all unlock doing these infinite az battles? I remember seeing people fight the xy legendaries so they must show up soon?
>>58493195But it’s weird, Legends games are mainline games as shown by how they keep the same pokemon data structure and boxes and can connect to Home and pokemon can be transferred in and out, unlike spin-offs like PMD where stats and pokemon data work differently and will never be compatible with Home, Gamefreak already said as much too and all press releases call the Legends game part of the Pokemon series It’s kind of like Xenoblade X where quite a few people call it a spin-off despite Nintendo and Monolith never ever referring to it as such and only calling it part of the Xenoblade series
>>58493206Yeah, everything stems from completing Reward Matches.Complete your first one and you'll be able to go after Xerneas and Yveltal, then return to Hotel Z after catching them to start the path to Zygarde.Complete 15 and you'll finally reach the conclusion of the rival's story and get Eternal Floette in the process.Complete 20 and you'll unlock the sidequest for Jacinthe's Super Tournament, where you literally battle her four times in a row with the exact same team, and then you can rebattle her anytime you want, which is actually a solid source of EXP and money if you need to powerlevel a mon up from low to high in a short time and don't have a stock of candies available.
>>58493173People saying that just mean its not one of those 8 gyms and 3 new starters type of game.
>>58493317By that logic the whole of gen 7 was spinoffs
>>58493340Not really. Totem Battles are just reskinned Gyms, and because development was so hellish the eight Gym wasn't even finished.
>>58493317>Yellow isn't mainlineI see
>>58493340Yeah little bit but they still had 3 new starters and elite 4 and gyms (trials) and were turn based. I don't really care about are they mainline or not but i see why people say PLA and PLZA aren't because they are so different.>>58493363Remakes count as mainlines.
>>58493380Is Galar mainline? It has gyms but you just brought up E4 to defend lack of gyms and they don't have thoseThe exceptions and addendums to that little statement keep piling up pretty fast here, almost like making it up on the fly...
>>58493400No, Galar isn't. Next question.
>>58493410When new thread?
>>58493438When you make one.
Metagross or steelix?
>>58493446Metagross all day
Where's the best place to capture dark types?
>>58493446Metagross, my beloved.

>>58493722Wild Area 20
>>58493729How long does it take to respawn and cycle through spawns of the alpha in wild zone 20 to get the one you want?

Bros i’m at the endgame now but I can’t decide if i want to replace my ZA Royale profile photo with one taken in front of the Prism Tower going berserk, I know this is the only chance to get a photo with it…. but my current photo has a really good pose and angle of the original Prism Tower which I already can’t recreate anymore thanks to story progress and the tower’s state
>>58494231post both photos
>>58494273Left original, right proposed new one (I could change the pose or expression, undecided)I’ve also slightly changed my appearance since the previous photo tooWdyt?
>>58494312>dawn of a new era vs imposing dominanceI think I prefer right because it looks more clear. Left is a good but the sepia/orangeness is everywhere in the picture including you. Right I don't particularly like the tower's neon purple but it does look good in contrast to you.I'd do a coinflip.
>>58494362Ok replaced; I think it turned out very well but I’m having some ‘tism over the background particle effects, should I keep trying to get a better set of particles? I kind of want to beat the game already
>>58494434Keep going, you'll get shiny particles eventually
>>58494501Ok, I think I’m genuinely happy with this arrangement of particles so I can finally continue….unless I decide to take a photo during the final boss
>>58494434>beat the game alreadySame. I spent so many hours trying to get the right picture and goofing off in camera mode because I know I won't be able to get certain setups again so you spend all the time agonizing whether to take the shot or keep the old one.
>>58490060you should tell that to gwyn she wont stop trying to get pregnant
>>58490080can alphas even spawn? ive been benching in zone 18 for shiny for like 2 days not seen an alpha
Misty at home
I can't load my game back even though I played it for 5 hours last night despite the flashing color bug. :(
>>58490403you can always save before going near it then quite game fast if you fail to catch
>>58493340id call it a spinoff it was a terrible game and also killed the ashnime

I like how Gywwn straight up tells Naveen to up several times near the one rogue mega. She's busy trying to rizz me up and this retard keeps interrupting her.
