>>58536969is 4chan dead whys posting taking forever
>>58536969Loading up now for the very first time.Is there any Pokemon or item that is a missable I should be aware of? Which Pokemon should I focus on getting for my ranked team to hit max rank before Season 2 next week?
>>58537002Not really/.This isn't really a franchise to miss anything on, really.
>>58536969
>>58536969>Which Pokemon should I focus on getting for my ranked team to hit max rank before Season 2 next week?Flareon if you're cool. Everyone underestimates it.>mega frosslass>stab shadow ball>red boost>"no"but really, mega skarmory. it's so damn powerful
holy shit was that a real choice?
>>58537058forgot to say, plus shadowball too
What apriballs fit Xerneas, Yveltal and Zygarde?
>>58537120heavy for xerneas>the other twosports ball for yveltal, duskball or nest for zygarde
>>58537058>FlareonWas reading Glaceon with a move set was top tier as of Season 1. I love Flareon though and prefer it too. Is Flareon on par with Glaceon at the moment?>Stab shadow ballNot too sure what this means. >Red boostOr what this means.>Mega SkarmoryCan I get mega evolutions solo without trading?
>>58537002Kind of in the way where you can catch some fully evolved mons without trading during some missions like one where can can get a couple Gengars. But if you can trade it doesn't matter.
>>58537151Sport Ball looks kinda generic as hell though, I was thinking Moon Ball for YveltalWould Love Ball work for Xerneas? Or Level?
I'm actually angry Diancie is a mythical, I wish I could've used it earlier, the Mega is so pretty
>>58537194>Was reading Glaceon with a move set was top tier as of Season 1. I love Flareon though and prefer it too. Is Flareon on par with Glaceon at the moment?I also have a Glaceon, and its wrecks face, but it's totally different from Flareon in its moves, its range, and what it kills. I have a fun team with both of them on it + hippowdon>>Stab shadow ball>Not too sure what this means.stab means SameType AttackBonusUsing a move that's the same type as your Pokémon gives you a 50% damage boost>>Red boost>Or what this means.gives you a 50% (assumed) damage boost for everyone in your party for a limited amount of time>Mega Skarmory>Can I get mega evolutions solo without trading?yes, for the most part. Mega Gengar and mega Alakazam need trades. Mega Scizor too, mayube a few others.
>noticed I was missing one Mega in the Mega dex after buying all mega stones>thought it was some glitch>then realized it was just Floettefuck, need to work on that now
>>58537225That sounds ok to me. I was told to watch out for Gengar and I think Steelix at some point. Thanks for pointing those out.>>58537269Thank you anon, you're answers have been a big help. I'm completely new to this and the update on Pokemon and terms was great.
Do you get anything other than big nuggets and rare candies from the infinite z-a championship matches?
>>58537325apriballs
>want cardboard for the mega dimension dlc>go to multiple stores>no one has the download card
>>58537249where do you get it
I keep finding shinies
>>58537325
>>58537234>>58537120A true baltism connoisseur knows when to use a weird ball and when to drop it completely it. None of the apricorn balls works for Xerneas and Yveltal, and only Friend Ball somewhat fits Zygarde (and yet Dusk Ball fits it better)
>>58536969Does this game have a "max stat" system, where you can catch a Pokemon with "max stats" ?Or do you max it with EV boosting items? Can I just catch any pre-req Pokemon for an evolution stone? Or should I go for a specific stat/type since type can be changed with mint now too?
>>585373941. This have does have max IVs upon catching a mon, though it's rare to have them all be perfect. Alpha mons tend to have 3 Perfect stats. 2. You can make a mon's IV's max using a Silver or gold bottle cap with an NPC
>>58537392I'll take back what I said about the heavy ball. I remember heavy ball being darker and thought the blue and black matched Xerneas's head and neck and its lower body.
>pokemon represents an X>Not using the X ball
Just started playing it and doesn't seem bad, I think I just finished the tutorial but I like the characters so far. The buildings with the painted windows are really ugly though but the interiors look nice.I like that they don't let you transfer mons yet, and I hope they wait until the DLC is at least like a month or two old for it.
>>58537448You'll get a big like boost for characters for the most part not being functionally retarded outside of maybe your rival, and you'll like it a lot if you liked X and Y but wished it was better.
Out of my last 6 reward matches, 4 of them were against Taunie, is she stalking me? Rigging the reward match system to keep matching me against her??
>>58537478hot
>>58537442There's no Y ball so the balltism would still be ruined by imbalance
>>58537466I only played XY at launch so I don't really remember much about it, but I remember thinking it was alright and that the ending was pretty good.
I think I've done everything. Unless there is a secret 120th side quest.
>>58536969>constantly mistaking the banners in Magenta Distrcit for Colorful Screw lights in the corner of my eyeCouldn't they have chosen a different color for them?
>>58537531Buy all clothes
>>58537392Would Timer Ball unironically be the best ball for Yveltal? Both the ball and animation fit Yveltal’s color scheme and additionally there’s the thematic time/clock = death symbolism
>>58537531Collect a total of 99,999,999,999,999 mega shards
ngl brosi don't know why this game is getting so much hateit's the first time in years since i've felt like a pokemon game has been worth my time or moneyI'm still rank C in the story but i've been doing online battles and it's fun as fuckI'm running Emboar, Scolipede, and Gengar and coming in first for like 75% of my matches, it's so great dicking on what I can only assume are the metafags running the same 5 megas
Finally got an XS eevee while I was EV training my Pidgeot>>58537531Get every size of your favorite Pokémon.
>alpha ralts>male
I'll be mad if gen 10's UI isn't as good as ZA's
>>58537694>He doesn't want an Alpha Gallade?
>>58537704I don't like Gallade's weird diaper hips
>>58537442It's too much yellow.
so what is the fastest way to get the 1000 battles? I saw some people saying using a dragonite was a good strategy
>>58537782just spam the le nah cafe
>>58537782Dragonite with Extremespeed and max attack.Go into Restaurant Le Nah and fight there.Spam espeed to kill everything.Repeat until 1k.Also if you haven't, do the infinite royale to rank 20 first so you can at least knock some battles there.
>>58537782>>58537792Yea, Dragonite extreme speed le nah cafe, it's the fastest wya to grind out those 1k battles if you really want the shiny charm, but you can also just grind out the infinite royal for bottle caps too
>>58537642The animation doesn't fit Yveltal at all tho
>grind out my 1000 battles>still don't have the apricorn balls i wantback to the mines i go
How do you think Beast Balls will be available? Future ranked battle seasons only, or maybe also in the DLC?
>>58537939>>58537939Ranked seasonal battle rewards or as a distribution for ultra beasts as another 30 dollar DLC
>>58536969Whats it actually take to get shiny charm
Ice cream is fierce looking
>>58537983Almost all the research.The most important task being the 1k trainer battles. If you do every task except that one you'll be 100 points short of the charm, so you can't skip it.If you do the trainer battles before finishing everything else, you'll have some points to spare so you can avoid a couple other tasks.
whawhy did it post my last postanyway is there a reason to not use mega-enabled mons in multiplayer
>>58538191you like the monyou like the movesetyou like the statsyou like hold itemsgarchomp for example is better than mega garchomp.
>>58538199yeah but the shark is gay
>>58538211Sometimes you gotta be the biggest gay so you don't get fucked.
>>58538199>garchomp for example is better than mega garchomp.Why?
>>58538273Mega Garchomp is notoriously known to be worse because it loses speed upon Mega Evolving. It doesn't matter much in this game though since Speed Cool-Down isn't too much of a detriment to it.
>>58538191>anyway is there a reason to not use mega-enabled mons in multiplayerPlus moves can be better use of resources as they are on demand power increase on moves.
>>58538273Mega Garchomp increases your attack move CD's because of his slower speed, which isn't as bad as previous games but still.You also have to hold a mega stone instead of an assault vest or yache berry. regular Garchomp becomes more or less equal to mega Garchomp with a swords dance. So you really only want to run megachomp if you want to run a 4th coverage move, but there are better megas to run.
>>58538333What about a mega garchomp with Sword Dance?Also I haven't progressed far enough into the game to get an Assault Vest and isn't a berry a one and done thing? Still useful since people are now spamming Glaceons to spam Freeze-Dry since it's a lingering AoE, but
>>58538370>What about a mega garchomp with Sword Dance?It's overkill and doesn't help you kill Skarmory, your arch nemesis>isn't a berry a one and done thing?it's restored at the end of the battle and can swing tempo in your favor because no everyone carreis more than one of the same move unless it's Glaceon
>>58538381>it's restored at the end of the battle and can swing tempo in your favor because no everyone carreis more than one of the same moveWouldn't that put you in a much weaker position during a 2nd battle in the same match since they'll know you used your berry?
>>58538398You'd be about as weak as garchomp who hasn't mega evolved yet.
>>58538398I think held items are reset on respawn as well. Unless they changed focus sash to not be consumed at some point. Always hated how they worked in the main game since you really didn't get enough to experiment with.
she's so damn cute
>>58538472>had to literally farm them>had to reapply them every time they were eatenit's not worth the bother.
I found a shiny eevee but no moon ball to catch it in.
>one screw leftI'm gonna have to follow a guide
>>58538645Please don't let me be next
The more i play this the more i wish i woulda bought it instead of emulating
Current team is Gatr, Lucario, Charizard, Gardevoir, Garchomp and Ampharos.Gatr as starter was a mistake. I was lured in by the 160 Attack on Mega form but it doesn't have the moves to make use of it as of now. No Ice Punch? Really? Outclassed by Gyarados.Also, why on earth does Aura Sphere from Lucario takes ages to fire and why is Earthquake obtained so late? I am relying on Dig to deal damage from Garchomp. Rest of the team does not have good movesets or are too frail.I spent all my Exp Candies on Alpha Honedge but I learned that Aegislash has been nerfed. Eviolite is obtained so late that it's not worth it.Currently at rank E and I am seriously thinking of resetting and picking up either Chikorita or Tepig as starter.
>>58538723You can still buy it
>>58538725Its really not worth resetting that far in just to get a new starter.
>>58538725i boxed my starter asap, there are better mons out there. gyarados shits on pretty much every water type available in zayou can spam mabel's research for eq early, it's not that hard. just evolve some pokemon using stones and trade evos, do a couple of catch requests and you should have it easily, it's not story-locked
>>58538747My evil professor can't be this cute
>>58538725Chikorita and Tepig have kind of bad matchups into a lot of things so you're not missing out on much.You should try to give everyone HP Ups or catch alphas which come with 252 HP EVs out of the box, bulk is very strong in this game while speed is a lot weaker.
>>58538743shit i dont wanna put another 60 hours into it bro, if not i would.
>>58538787baka
>>58538787should have gotten a modded switch to save transfer
>>58538783I do have alphas and I use them in my team as well. Garchomp and Gardevoir are on the team. Gyarados, Victreebel and Excadrill are on rotation. I wanted to maximize IVs and change natures but I am not sure how easy it is.Reset to do a monotype run was a thing that crossed my mind which quickly faded away when I found that for some types availability sucks (Steel for e.g.) and for others like Bug and Grass you share one weakness throughout your catches.
>>58538909IVS are a pita, it's bottlecaps but they are very rare, you get some one-offs from missions and Mabel's research but after that it's only a rare drop from Infinite Royale reward matches and a scattering from online.Natures are easy, mints are available from the get-go for 20k each from various flower stalls. Everything except the speed mints can be bought from the courtyard west of wild area 3, speed mints are at the east end of Saison Canal.
>>58538645Since i started doing my living dex in home i catch everything in normal pokeballs and the only exception I’ve made to that rule was ogerpon in a friend ball
Can anyone tell me how much the boosting held items boost by? roughly? Is it the same numbers as the regular pokemon games? Trying different items out online its hard to tell if its making a real difference. Items like the weakness policy seem really hard to get any value out of. Quick claw is chance based but kinda cracked because instant attacks is really strong.
>>58537002There's a quest early on that asks you to confront a wild Sableye, the quest ends when you defeat it or catch it. If you don't catch it, it'll be a little while before the wild zone Sableye usually spawns in becomes available, so if you want a Sableye early, catch it.
>>58538984Weakness is probably bad. There’s no two stage boost, I think it just makes the single stage last longer
I can't even play more than 10 minutes of this shit anymore. Did I finally outgrow Pokemon?
>>58539132For me, it’s either this or tabletop war games as my autism outlet. Maybe trump will ban tylenol and I’ll be cured, but until then I’ll bounce between the two.
>>58539132its over for you. give me your pokemon and get out.
>>58537249did you use pkhex or a cheat code?
>>58538747>>58538752>>58538759My Nazi scientist who took a plea bargain and isn’t allowed 3 miles outside of her lab is so cute!
Should I catch Xerneas or Yveltal in my only Moon Ball?
>>58539757Moon Balls are for shinies only
>>58539591I edited the flag for the Diancie event on PkHex then completed its side questFor the Diancite I simply added it as a held item to my already caught Diancie using PkHex
>>58537063Not really because if you say Vinnie she says "no, let's ask Emma".
>>58539915oh so it's like the other legendaries where it just shows up on some random as fuck spot in the 1 (one) city. boring.
>>58539936Yeah, Diancie is just kinda chilling in some random rooftop for no reason, at least Mewtwo had some lore but Diancie is just kinda there
>>58537659I'm trying to run Scolipede, but it's getting hard when 99% of online teams is something like Metagross/Skarmory/Charizard.
>>58538332>male delphoxFuck it I was hunting for a shiny female eevee to turn into glaceon but now I don’t care anymore. How is Skarmory, Metagross and Glaceon in ranked? Probably melts to fire.
Aiiieeee!!
>>58539971>Probably melts to fire.Well yeah.
>>58539971Metagross is literally meta.
>>58537249>>58539943Do you have access to the dlc as well? I want to know if it will be a new area or are we stuck in Lumiose. If possible, I want to see the new megas from the dlc.
>>58538521*sniff*
>>58540308No, Mewtwo's and Diancie's side-quests are already in the game that's why you can access it even on version 1.0.0, the DLC is completely new content not yet in the gameThey'll release these events anytime between now and the DLC's release
>>58539915>I edited the flag for the Diancie event on PkHex then completed its side questoh cool might send my save back to my switch 1 and enable the flag when i finish the game
>>58540308We already know that the DLC area will be Hyperspace Lumiose
>>58537394Alphas tend to have max HP EV when caught so take them to the rust syndicate to have their stats reset if you want to EV invest them differently.
After finishing the 20 royales and Jacinthe's meme quest, got to 763 battles.Time to grind restaurants I guess.
>>58540523Royales are better you can get apriballs
>>58540523Ran a quick calc.With espeed Dragonite it takes 135 seconds to do a full loop of the restaurant, including talking to the guy at the entrance, so it's roughly 45 seconds per battle.So to get to 1000 that'd be 3 full hours of mashing.
>>58537403>>58540519Is there any point to taking time hunting a mon with perfect EVs when you can just boost them with bottle caps?What is the best way to manual save before a battle to make sure you catch a legendary in Z-A?
>>58540603The fact that there's a limited amount of easy to get bottle caps.After that it's just a low % chance of getting them every time you do an infinite royale.
Should I save my only Moon Ball for Darkrai in the DLC to play it safe?
>>58540680Grind another moon ball.
>>58540680>>58540718Do you have to catch Darkrai? Is there no way to just save before the battle? Is it possible to waste money on the content, only to not capture the Pokemon? Never played Pokemon in modern gen.
>>58540755you can save before battle, game only autosaves when you successfully catch something
>>58540680Back to the royale ya go
Wow thanks. Can I have 10 Moon Balls instead?
>>58540825is this from pvp
>>58537659Wait until A Rank when the meta becomes: Use Garchomp, Metagross, Gyarados and their direct counters or never come in first
>>58540834Challenge battle.
>>58540861huh i thought you could only get regular caps, that's actually pretty good
>>58540866There's a lot of rewards but as usual it has low drop rates.https://www.serebii.net/legendsz-a/z-aroyale.shtml
>>58540902>i got whipped dream 3 times in a row>it's a 3.45% chance to get itfuck this shitass luck
Any sites got all of the costumes yet
Choosing the sad face for the tourney was a great idea.
>>58541195Are there rewards for doing this?
>>58541405Money.
How do I know when my Pokemon's stats are good enough to evolve with a stone? Is there a maximum stat to hit before evolving them? Is there a good guide to maxing the potential of Legends Z-A mons yet?Not a guide to mon move sets, the actual stat maxing if possible.
>>58541420You can evolve with a stone anytime
>>58541420You can alter stats at any time. Evolve now.
>>58541195
>>58541427>>58541433Thought there was more to it. Looks like you're right. Thank you.
Where can I start grinding early in the game? I almost got my ass kicked in the Rank X promotion battle.
>>58541697The loading screen has a tip that literally tells you the best way to grind lmao, just go to battle zones. Otherwise just try to complete the dex missions catching stuff, you will level up too
>>58541442lol had the same thought>tfw jacinthe demands to milk your cock for the 8th time today
Did you notice that some of the names of trainers you fight inside the restaurants are the same as those inside the same restaurants from X and Y? Except that they look completely different from how they did back in X and Y?
>>58536969za is the most fun pokemon game i've played (pirated) along with scarletwhat returning mons and new mega evolutions are we getting in the dlc?
AAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEE IT GOT OUT OF ITS CONTAINMENT ZONE, HELP ME
>>58541825LITTEN MAN SAVE ME IM GOING INSAAAAAAANE
>>58541816Mega Zard ZMega Lopunny ZMega BraixenMega Kirlia
i dont think this briaxen is gonna pay up
Is there any way to check what Pumpkaboo form I have other than sending them out the pokeball and check myself one by one?
>>58542058I've been hunting a shiny fennekin for 20 hours with shiny charm and haven't found one yet.
>>58542148ill trade you one for another shiny if you dont mind male i got a few, took me 8 days to get female
>>58542170Thanks but that's okay. I want one under my trainer ID. Do you have to walk over and see it, or are you allowed to keep using the bench? I'm really considering buying a turbo controller.
>>58542186no you dont have to walk over and see it but if you have a shiny charm you might be getting so many shinies that its overwriting fennekin if you arent checking every reset all of these areas spawn shinies along with the altaria/noibat and salamance and bagon if you arent clearing these all out you will easily get 10 shinies spawned the gras patch is especially bad theres like 6 weedle spawns down there kek. turbo is good to leave on overnight but boring when you actually wanna play i was doing turbo at night or when i was at work and sring when i could as i think its more enjoyableif you wanna target fennekin specifically knock it out or make it run away then start a timer and drop a save at 59 seconds https://files.catbox.moe/rasfub.webm its a couple seconds faster than bench resetting too. check the first couple resets to make sure its actually spawning though because if you get the timing good youll see no spawn animation but it is changing
>>58542186also i keep seeing people post about these shitty hori controllers that have turbo built in mayflash make adapters for the switch that let you use any controller on the console and also have a turbo feature id recommend checking those out if you already have controller for other systems, they are pretty cheap too
Out of my last few reward matches, I had 4 Taunie, 3 Grisham, 3 Griselle and 2 Yvon; nobody else, is that weird? Rigged?
>Mega Zygarde clips through the ceiling inside restaurantskek
Any way to make yvaltal land once you capture him? I always see him flying.
I'm sad I'm almost completely done with the game, it was a lot of fun
best way to power level something? I'm outta candies.
>>58542349Battles
>>58542279Standard. I keep getting Grisham, Vinnie and the steel yakuza.
Help me out here, anons. I'm at the end of the game and I'm kinda revising my team again based on type coverage and a bit of a theme. I've got a bit of a mistfit/red and black look going.Currently I have>Scizor>Krookodile>TrevanantI need some special attackers that fit my theme with some type coverage against dragon and fighting. I've considered Sharpedo in the past, but I'd like something that's not a glass cannon. Also Sharpedo's Mega makes him a physical attacker.
Bros trying to get a Love Ball and Friend Ball is killing me, I’m already at 42 reward matches
let him cook>>58542403shiny florges? red/purple
>>58542442Interesting but not quite what I'm looking for. They don't need to be red/black it's an either/or situation.
>>58542440I've got a love ball. What other balls you got?
Organizing my boxes is fucking hell, man
>>58542403Noivern draliege malamar
>>58542457One each of Fast, Level, Heavy and Moon but I don’t think I want to trade any of them away
>>58542462I wish i liked Dragalge mroe than I do. I don't like the way it looks. Noivern might be fun. Is it a special attacker? Will it die super easy?
>>58542140Bump please? I want all forms and I don't know if I have all four or just three
what a faggot thinks hes better than me, actually a good rival hated him the whole game
Should I wait until Dream Balls are released at the end of next month before catching Xerneas, does Dream Ball fit Xerneas
now i hate him even more
>>58542502You can probably check the summary menu and use the pokeball background to compare big and small sizes.
size does matter in this game, I was fighting a tiny Sableye with my alpha Mega Dragonite and I was getting fucked because it was so small that my Dragonite just couldn't hit it
>>58542140>>58542502Check the cry to see if it's jumbo or not.
What happens when you trade a ev trained and IV bottlecap mon from SV to Legends ZA?
>>58542744We can't do that yet timetraveler.
>>58542751Home isnt available for legends? Really?
No matter how fast I spam the attack button at the start of a battle or when I switch in, the other pokemon ALWAYS moves first, what the fuck is this shit?
>>58542760hard to tell without a video
top fucking kek>>58542760is it not speed stat? i think it still has effect on first hit quickclaw lets you hit first sometimes
>only 4 royale matches in>16 to goyay...
>>58542818dynamax canari
>>58542818look at that drip
>>58542834I can't find the video but you are doing the route here right?
>>58542634Yeah that ended up being the solution, still a shitty way to check but at least I know now I'm only missing one mini for my living dex
anyone got an example of XS charizard? has it been datamined or something?
>>58543162>XS charizardjust imagine how small this monlet is when hes xs
>>58543162you cant show an example because the game has no magnifying glass
I think this might be the best pokemon game that has released since x/y i really dont get how the metacritic user reviews are so low is it just people seething because of streamers who havent even played the game? its way better than SV
>>58543224I prefer the traditional game but this is definitely up there. All the "reviews" can be safely ignored.
>>58543193>>58543198extra small wartortle for reference.
are all those parkour things possible with just jumping around since the begining or there's some kind of abilities you unlock later to make them more easy? because there's some balls that look impossible to reach without floating or teleporting
>>58543289You get a small jump later on
>>58543260i saw a few of them complaining about the lack of voice acting i genuinely do not see why anyone would want that english voice acting in jap games is always extremely cringe and makes me hate the characters the fake voices the vas do is always extremely cringe. a lot of them were also complaining about no gyms or 1 city but these people just must not know its a spinoff or soemthing>>58543289no theres a tonne you cant do until you get the rotom hover thing that lets you go further
>>58543293glide* double jump* whatever
>>58543294around what rank you get it? I started yesterday and I'm only rank W
>>58543318lol you havent even seen the worst part of the game yet. not much longer it depends on if youre doing sidequests and fucking around on roofs etc. id recommend doing that stuff instead of rushing throguh the main story
>>58543298an actual double jump would have been so much better making paltofrming which isnt hard to get right feel awful is truly a gf moment
>>58543294I wouldn't want full voice acting but I would at least want some sav'aaq, woomy or other gibberish since your character sometimes grunts.
>>58543332I have been doing a lot of stuff around roofs and parkouring, I even bought the lvl3 plush for XP thanks to the screws things, now I'm trying to buy the ones for not dying in battle but the remaining jumps are impossible without those abilities
>>58543355>now I'm trying to buy the ones for not dying in battle but the remaining jumps are impossible without those abilitiesi wouldnt waste your keys on those until youve got everything else its quite rare to black out
it just clicked for me that the one leaker probably thought xerosic was grisham kek
>see a bunch of meme about Bois>never used him onceI just don't like bug types
>>58543442Bois? Sorry, twitter casual, I only use mons I caught. He can hold down the box like a champ though.
>>58543344Honestly no voice acting wouldn't even be an issue if they just voiced the rock singer. He's the only character where they should have broken the pattern and done something.
I just noticed all the eyes glow red lol
>>58543515It must suck being one of the feet.
I tried doing Rogue Slowbro with Braixen and it's damage output it too low and slow. It's not fun and I can't do it.
The ranked is pure suffering if you do it right after finishing the tutorial. Everyone already has the last evos with mega stones even in the first rank...
>>58543789jap strategy isnt even to mega but to snipe low hp targets, mega evolving takes time
are there any goood places to raise speed ev's besides the Hibernal Pokemon center?
>>58543792mega'ing is best as a free dodge, yeah
>>58543820
>>58543826forgot about that site. thanks
>>58536969Bros I'm around 70 hours in and I'm at rank B. At the part where I'm about to ask Mable about Grisham. How much longer is left in the main story would you guys say?
>>58543837you're almost done after rank A.
>>58543837You're almost done unless you want to do the post game story to catch the cover legendaries or the 15 post game royales for Eternal Floette.
ok fuck this, I did basically everything there is to do, but grinding battles non-stop just isn't fun, I'm done with the game
>>58544429Ok. that's fine. You can beat a game and play something else.
>>58542501>i forgot to take pictures with the glowing towerfuckkkkk, it looks so cute.
>can scarcely find any pictures of Mega Chandelure from different anglesCould someone provide me? Thank you
>>58544650
>>58544679The mega sheen goes hard in this game, its a really nice touch
i'm having a hard time catching alphas. i use pokeballs almost exclusively, and sometimes nightfall/daybreak happens and I lose the alpha due to time.shit sucks.
>>58543792I had to do this and also run away a lot because of my weak pokemons with shitty moves. It was quite fun to get to rank K for the mega stone, kinda sad that they nerfed the requirements for the next one.I think this mode could be genuinely more fun with more variety, but I guess people just want to use the same pokemons with that have high stats
It's so dumb that moves like heavy slam and dragon rush clearly make the user jump but the attack itself can't clear ledges or anything.
4 love balls and not a single moon ball in sight.
>that forced platforming section at the endjust why??? don't even bother at this point in the game man. it's not even a fun part of the game. there's no roller skates or nothing. no grind rails. just high beams you're going to rotom glide across.
>>58544815>that bonus platforming section at the endThat was fun. A quick way to add a small puzzle to the otherwise monotonous battle after battle. Figuring out how to cheese some parts with roto glide was cool.
Is emolga the answer to Skarmory?>immune to drill run>resists iron head>resists bravebirda shame it only learns light screen though
>>58544901> i wanted a break from battle to do the puzzle>doesn't do the puzzle right
> Lida and Naveen both get mega evolve bracelets> Ok now go battle the both of them now that they can use this new power!> Lida hasn't evolved her Staryu so she literally just can't use mega evolution anywaywhat exactly was the point of making me fight the both of them when she's just as weak as she was before?
Whoever gave Beldum and Metang their catch rates should burn in hell
i'm scared bros.I don't want to go back to the old battles. Yes, they were strategic and methodical, but these are so damn fun. Having to watch your back, throwing shit on the floor and watching your enemies panic, sniping people from behind cover, dodging with switches LIKE THEY ALWAYS SHOULD HAVE IN THE SHOWI'm scared we'll lose it
>>58545326I really hope we have both, something like "professional" format that is always used for league matches (gyms, elite four, champion, that stuff) and free for all from this game, let people have fun the old way but let us run wild too
>>58545334>champion styleold school turn based>legend stylefast-paced free roam
>>58543848>>58543872Noooo I don't want it to end lol. I got my moneys worth though haha. Thanks anons
>>58544692It makes the megas look 100 times better imo and sells the idea of the mega energy flowing from them
>>58544564youll just have to start another playthrough
>>58545424So what type is ange? I would include grass but Flabebe line being pure fairy is kinda looking at me
>>58545430definitely has grass type i was using braixen and fire moves did a lot of damage, the boss fight wasnt great though kek i just hid behind the rock using psyshock and heatwave for 10 mins or however long it took, the other rogue mega fights were much better boss fights
>ranked battle>vs 3 jp players>spawn camp my respawn point>still get 1st
I'm tempted to replay the game as a male just to experience Taunie. Wish I could change my hight to be youngster sized.
Final stretch.
You can get alpha fossil pokemon but the rate is 1 in 409600Just thought you should know they’re rarer than any shiny.
all the pokemon are small in this game so an alpha tyrantrum is just an anime sized one.
>>58545326Speaking of I want another Pokken.
I really want to make my mega pinsir work online. What would be the best moves for it?
>>58542818
>>58542818>>58547029
>>58537269>Mega Gengar and Mega Alakazamfalse, you can catch both of them. Gengar in a quest, or Wild Area 20 as an alpha. You can also get Alakazam at Wild Area 20 as an alpha. You can reroll the alphas you get there by walking far away enough from them so that they unload, and then walk towards them again. You can also get Machamp this way, but I'm not sure if Aromatisse, Slurpuff, and Scizor spawn there too.
>>58545326>>58545334The cool part about attacks in ZA is that they actually have the design space to say more than "this weak/strong physical/special move + effect">this move is a moving tackle>this is a melee>this is a ranged attack>this is an aoe>this is a melee aoe>this is a mulihit ranged attack>this is a teleport attack>this is an this attack leaves you invincible for a timeand then>your pokemons size cna determine how hard or easy they are to hit>your size can alter the size of some attacks>your size has no bearing how how big the attack is.its a very cool system that also helped pruned a shit ton of moves
PSA for anyone that doesn't know another way: you can end mega evolution early by going to coffee spots and drinking
How early can I start farming for the 1000 battles thing anons? Started the game yesterday and just unlocked side quests so I'm really early in
>>58547813Pointless, the fastest way to do it is fast because your Pokémon are high level, high enough that they can quickly kill anything.just play the game.
>>58547561I've been switching out and using + attacks.
>>58547842but that drains the meter, right?
>>58547903idk
>>58547907ok, well, stopping for coffee doesn't
>>58547912Oh. I thought you were saying you wanted to deplete the meter. my bad.
I'm pretty sure this could run on gamecube
Are there any rewards for repeating Jacinthe's tourney?
>>58547962The battling in of itself is the reward
I dislike some mega evos>mega hawlucha>mega mawile>mega bannette>mega sableye>mega drampa>falinksthese designs are great and should have just been regular evolutions
>>58548027Mega banette no. It would need some other design change.
Holy shit Alpha Kangaskhan is MASSIVE
Surprised it took this long to happen
>>58548087yeahjust like yer mum
>>58548076>It would need some other design change.What do you mean? Many Pokémon don't have drastic design changes when evolving>pidgeotto>clefairy>sandileUnlike something like mega Absol, mega Banette is different enough to warrant its own evolution.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bvIx7Q2Lxp7efHRrUh48WkuwirNlKardwSHVz_R8kA0/This doc says that Xerneas fits best in Moon or Heavy Balls and Yveltal in Timer or Luxury Balls, what do you think? Should I use a Moon Ball on Xerneas? What apriball could work on Yveltal? Should I give Xerneas and Yveltal matching Moon Balls?
Thank fuck, I can finally ditch this bitch and just hang with Naveen, Lida, and floette.
>>58548146>pidgeottoThe whole line is pretty similar to each other with no drastic changes.>clefairy sandileThose are pretty drastic while looking like they belong. Shuppet to Banette is pretty drastic. Mega Banette just seems like more Banette like how MPinsir to Pinsir or MHeracross to Heracross. The overall shape is pretty much the same when I could be something different like Dusknoir to Dusclops or MClefable to Clefable. I do like MBanetten since it's one of the better designed megas.
>>58548150I used this too. Even if colors moon and heavy fit to Xerneas, I don't think the balls' designs are good for it. Heavy's blue nubs are just accents to the whole of the gray ball. Moon's aqua teal color doesn't exactly fit to Xerneas for my taste but it'll be good if you use it. I'm probably going to settle for a dive ball. For Yveltal. timer has too much emphasis on the white. Luxury has too much gold. Matching balls would be great though. Moon on Yveltal would probably be better than the other balls. What I do is hold ZL to bring up the ball menu and compare the pokemon with the ball during the fight.
Why did they take away Xerneas’ other form?
