This was the only Pokemon that had NEVER been obtainable in a mainline game. Meltan, its pre-evolution, could be gotten from Home Pokedex completion for LGPE but it could not evolve into Melmetal.Will this pokemon finally get the love it deserves now?
>>58728701this ugly ass line's debut was the moment I knew Pokemon was dead
>>58728701>obtained automatically>no quest where you need to hunt down x amount of meltans and fuse them togetherFucking soulless
No one figured how to catch Zeraora yet far as I'm aware. Anyway, Z-A (plus Mega Dimension) allows you to obtain 11 out 23 mythicals without events (technically Diancie is an event but it's not time limited). If Zeraora can be confirmed, there'll be 12 out 23 OR more than half mythicals obtainable in a single game. They've been pretty broad in distributing mythicals ever since they stopped creating movies which is a bit sad but good for player experience.
>>58728719True, how dare they undercut Joe Merrick's income by not having a tedious collectathon
>>58728701I never asked for this
>>58728723Zeraora might be an event lock like Diancie/Mewtwo/Garchomp Z. There’s text in the files of characters talking about it rampaging in towns and telling the protag about it, and an event prompt for capturing it.
Finally freed from the GO mines!
>>58728723The distributions always sucked anyway. The shiny raidons were exclusive to GameStop and they closed 90% of their locations since SV came out. Apparently nobody at TPC got the memo that the company is a meme stock and nothing else at this point.Aren't Terapagos and Pecharunt technically mythicals? They were also just included with DLC.
>>58728804Pecharunt is, terapogos isn't. Source: Mythical Pecha Berry is a mystery gift
Victini is currently the oldest mythical not obtainable in any main game without the use time-limited events. The only other Mythical in the same situation is Zarude. Now rather than talking about time-limited events, we could start talking about other annoying unlock requeriments to obtain Mythicals. Easy unlocks>Arceus, Manaphy (and Phione, which is a semi-mythical) can be obtained in PLA without any additional requeriments>Keldeo is obtainable either in SwSh DLC or ZA DLC>Meloetta is obtainable either in SV DLC or ZA DLC>Genesect is obtainable in ZA DLC>Diancie is obtainable in Z-A (requires accessing the Mystery Gift feature)>Hoopa, Volcanion, Magearna, Marshadow, Meltan and Melmetal are all obtainable in ZA DLC>Pecharunt is obtainable in SV DLC (requires accessing the Mystery Gift feature)Annoying unlocks:>Deoxys and Celebi are stuck in the 3DS so they're essentially back to being event-only unless you have a 3DS with Pokémon Bank and Crystal VC>Mew requires BDSP with a LGPE save data OR LGPE with a Poké Ball Plus accessory>Jirachi requires BDSP with a SwSh save data>Shaymin requires PLA with a SwSh save dataZeraora is currently unknown but most likely an easy unlock considering the other Mega Dimension mythicals.
>>58728825I forgot to mention Darkrai, ZA DLC unlock. Also can be obtained with save data but that's a comparatively annoying unlock.
>>58728723>>58728733>>58728825https://youtube.com/watch?v=o2Kl_XrPy9gZeraora is obtainable in the DLC, but the quest for it is “Side Mission EX03” and Serebii reports needing to clear Side Missions EX01 (Diancie) and EX02 (Mewtwo) to access this, so technically it might be mystery gift locked
>>58728723People have, apparently you need to give Canari Bread to some kid in the same spot you fought Rogue Mega Dragonite in the story and he'll give you the donut recipe to meet it
>>58728719>>58728727In any case, it's essential to have Meltan become Melmetal rather than this. Evolution is an essential part of Pokemon so it is pretty dumb to deliberately not do it.
>>58728701>Over seven years laterno fucking way>September 2018holy shit
>>58728723At this point I don't care about mythicals anymore. They are so easy to catch, and no cool way to say "hey, this is an unique Pokémon, how lucky you are!"They should be common picks at this point.
>>58729234Mythicals as a concept are being phased out, Swsh, SV, and now PLAZ have allowed them in ranked play
>>58728701>Lazy ass "lol here's melmetal whatever">wow such a cool way to introduce this pokémon!ManI'm tired
>>58729255No one said it's a cool way to introduce it but it's cool that you don't need to install Pokemon GO and grind in it for weeks to get it anymore.
>>58728701Do you get 1 of each? Or does the meltan you get evolve into melmetal?
>>58728701Ok now let it evolve outside of Go because the LGPE shiny Meltan is useless.>>58729335You literally haven't needed to do that since Home released that free Gmax Melmetal, unless they stopped doing that?
>>58728825Victini was planned to be in the Crown Tundra, as there’s encounter data for it. No clue why they scrapped it, or why it’s still unobtainable in the new DLCs.
>>58730214Oh, that's a bummer. Maybe they decided that Keldeo would a better choice? But Victini should've been in Teranium since it's the Unova flagship mon.
>>58728701>need to wait until finishing the dlcFucking why?
>VictiniGen 10 DLC>ZarudeLegends Galar>Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys, Manaphy, Darkrai, Shaymin, ArceusSeedThat way all mythicals (except Pecharunt) will be available in Switch 2 games
>>58730239This could work
>>58728701>can't balltism the Melmetal>the Shiny Meltan you get from completing LGPE's Pokedex in HOME still can't evolveIt's a concession.
>>58730254>Can finally balltism Meltan>Can't balltism Melmetal
>>58728701>literally my mum's hexagonal nut sitting on a blob of mercurydon't care
>>58728723Where is she?
>>58728804In Germany all locations were closed and the distribution was through Smith´s Toys (Germanys reopend Toys R Us). It is still baffeling to me that stores can run out of DIGITAL codes.
>>58729335>No one said it's a cool way to introduce itThe twitter post literally says "Such a cool way to introduce this line"
>>58730900Makes no sense at all to me. The closest one from me was 90 minutes away and they ran out in hours. I don't know any Japanese people to ask how it worked over there.
>>587293621 of each.
>>58728701Nice, good to know you can easily get the original 153 again.
>>58730557>>58730254Oh wait you cant transfer to go, so meltans are just stuck huh.
>>58731089You can't even transfer to SWSH.And frankly at this point, is there any hope of them allowing it to evolve in other games than GO?
>>58731091No, Gamefreak might've some deal with Niantic to prevent Meltan evolve to Melmetal outside GO. Same with obtaining Roaming Gimmighoul.
>>58731101I fully expect gen 10 to have a GO-exclusive Pokemon yet again.
>>58728825>still have my victini after all these yearsfeels good man
>>58731101This makes sense, because even this Meltan in ZA is explicitly not the one you get to evolve despite also getting a Melmetal.
>>58728715Well at least we established you're slow on the uptake.
>>58728825Technically while it's a bit of a gray area, you can still just connect to one of the unofficial DNS for DS WFC and get the Liberty Ticket still in BW. Granted that's 4 gens worth of transfers so huge pain in the ass but it's not absolute unobtainium without straight injecting the mon like Zarude.
>>58730254>>58730557No one actually cares about balltism
>>58733781Sure, but a lot of people are still holding their breath to evolve the Shiny Meltan that they got from HOME for filling LGPE's Pokedex. This could've been their one opportunity to finally let you evolve Meltan without GO, but they're still refusing to make it possible.
>>58730192you can't transfer gmax mons to future games? unless that is only duraludon.
>>58733951It's only Pikachu, Eevee, Meowth and Duraludon with the GMax Factor who have this transfer lock, and in the case of the first three it's specifically to prevent SWSH and legality checkers from erroring out because it has to process a nonexistent Gigantamax Factor for Raichu, any of the Eeveelutions or Persian. Duraludon's just staying consistent with "Pokemon that can still evolve and have the GMax Factor shouldn't be allowed to transfer until the factor is removed", it seems.
>58728701>>After catching Meltan, Melmetal will be obtained inside a distortion automatically>Such a cool way to introduce this lineThat's not coolThat's lame as shit.What would be cool is to have given a sensible evolution method to Meltan, so it can evolve naturally.
how the fuck do you activate the genesect sidequest? this dude doesn't have any of the drives
>>58734104Are you post-Rayquaza? Pretty much all of the mythical sidequests only become available once you've caught fug.
>>58730239Also Pecharunt is from Kitakami, so it could be obtainable again in Seed
>still not able to evolve him without spending time in GoMeh
>>58728701>ZAStill no mainline game in sight, got it.
>>58735850legends are mainline, bwo. And you can transfer this to mainline anyway.
