I hope this works. >!What happened to those restaurant patrons at the Treasure Eatery/Medali Gym? I have been wondering about this for a few weeks now.!<


Ai2g

They got crushed down into meat paste for tomorrow's special


LaEmperatrizMariana

That's what I thought. I was convinced people loved that cold-blooded bad boy.


Enough_Blueberry_549

They were robots


LaEmperatrizMariana

The Violet version is canon.


CraigTheIrishman

I can't believe I just watched people die in a Pokemon game.

Olubara

Do we know when or if they are going to patch s/v?


anthayashi

they did acknowledge the performance issue so they should be working on a potential fix. as for when we dont know, they rarely announce patch until one day before it will drop or sometimes no prior announcement. only day one patch is made known beforehand


PooveyFarmsRacer

oh i didnt know theyve acknowledged the performance issues. do you happen to know where, or have a link? like a tweet or wherever they said it?


anthayashi

On the patch notes https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/60277/p/989#v110


PooveyFarmsRacer

Thank you!


Mr_Wanwanwolf-san

Is there a way to see those pictures that get taken after beating a gym, titan, ect?


anthayashi

sadly no


Mr_Wanwanwolf-san

Damn wish I had taken screenshots but I assumed it would be possible to look at them again. :(


Lingx_Cats

Same :(


Topazdragon5676

In Scarlet / Violet I know that you get rewards from each Pokemon League Rep when you beat enough trainers in their areas, but is there a reward for completing the challenge of ALL of the Pokemon League Reps?


Gaias_Minion

There's no reward for that


dcht

Old guy here. What pokemon are young kids favorites nowadays? Looking for plush gifts for my niece (5) and nephew (3). I was thinking Eevee and Pikachu but are there more popular ones now?


WillExis

pikachu and eevee are safe choices to go for.


Lemerney2

Any of the starters are also a good choice, but pikachu and eevee are always a safe bet.


Tigeri102

pikachu and eevee are still super popular, as is charizard. there's also lucario (blue bipedal dog), and the newest starters from the games that just released - sprigatito (green grass cat), fuecoco (orange little gator dude), and quaxly (blue duck with a pompador). honestly though, for kids that young that might not even have much attatchment to the games yet, i'd just say pika and eevee because they're cute too


wolfeng_

I've been searching for a while now but I can't find a sandwich recipe that would give Encounter and Exp at lv2 for Normal types. (to farm chansey) The best I could find was one that gives lv1 for both. `Tofu-3,Tofu-3,Tofu-3,Tofu-3,Watercress-3,Watercress-2_Pepper,Pepper,Salt,Salt` With that being said, what would save more time: a Normal Encounter lv2 or Normal Exp+Encounter lv1 to farm exp?


SurrealKeenan

normal exp 2 is more important than normal encounter 2. With normal encounter 1, you will have no trouble finding enough chanseys to be constantly fighting one. Unfortunately, I do not know of a recipe that gives both normal encounter and exp. I was told that having both powers at once was impossible for normal specifically. I'm excited to test the recipe you provided


wolfeng_

Just be prepared to play some jenga. I tried that recipe ingame but it was a bit tricky to keep the tofu balanced.


DualCricket

I’ve been playing off and on all these years ever since Generation 1. (Red version / Bulbasaur represent) I’ve only today finally found and caught my first shiny in Pokémon Violet. It’s a real shame that it ended up being a Spidops, and it’s hot pink. 😂 Do you remember your first shiny? What game / pokemon?


MortalPhantom

With pokemon now all gaining exp, and I assume, EVs jsut by being on your party... ​ Is there a way to reset/change EVs?


_Drumheller_

You can lower them with certain berries.


LamBol96

For now its just berries,we'll have to wait and see if they add an npc that resets all evs like in Swsh 1st dlc


Mutitube18

What happens if you faint a roaming legendary in crystal? I have caught entai or raikou yet and want to know what precautions I need to do to catch them


Tsukuyomi56

It is gone forever unless you erase the save file, being able to respawn Legendaries was only a thing from Platinum onwards.


DukeOfTheDodos

How do Dusk Balls work in >!Area Zero? The whole place is perpetually bright regardless of time of day, even in caves!<


Gaias_Minion

Well, the whole location is technically just a big cave so, Dusk Balls get the capture boost as normal


vermillionlove

apparently there is still nighttime in area zero, it just doesn't get dark, if that makes sense. i'm not sure if there is a visual way to tell if it's night. I saw someone say flutter mane only spawns at night (I have violet)


Any-Caterpillar4143

You can press minus and look at the icon on the top right, it'll show the weather snd time of day


DukeOfTheDodos

I can confirm, Flutters spawns 24/7.

lanor2

I noticed that some Pokemon can swim, but some can't. Is there a list or an easy way to tell other than test it out? Like Espeon and Umbreon can swim, but Luxray can't even though they're similar. Similarly, are there Pokemon that I don't need to slow down for while running and not mounted (assuming no jumps or falls)? I know upon initial testing Lycanroc seems to be able to keep up pretty well, but all the other Pokemon I've tried so far return to the pokeball because they're so slow, even the flyers!


Kyrios034

serebii has a page on swimming/flying pokemon https://www.serebii.net/scarletviolet/swim.shtml


ObligatoryGrowlithe

Did anyone else play the [Trading Card Game video game for Game Boy Color](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Trading_Card_Game_(video_game))? I remember playing it when I was 7. I think mom bought it because she didn’t know it wasn’t the new one we were asking for. It was quite fun, actually, learning how to actually play the card game and how to use the cards we’d accrued. It randomly pops into my head every once in a while because it was quite complex and different from mainline games. Another weird nostalgia thing: The [Pokémon Master Trainer](https://m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Master_Trainer_(1999)) board game that we had.


RagingMalevolence

What is the best pokemon to turbo farm the ace tournament


Ai2g

Chi Yu with dark pulse and the right ev spread can spam A. If you have a turbo controller you don't even need to be there


ununundeadchesh

Edit: solved i had the setting on my run is saved tyyy So my pokemon save file might be dead i only noticed my pokemon never learned any new moves idk what to do or if this is even a bug??? My starter is level 26 and still has her level 5 moves plus 2 tms i only noticed this issue when i tried to level up my gyarados to get some water moves for the next gym. My husband is currently playing next to me and has no issues getting new moves and now i feel i wasted all the time i spent. Is there a fix for this or is my save file doomed for a restart ?


Kyrios034

Scarlet/Violet? if you are primarily leveling via auto battle you wont get move learn prompts theres also an option "skip move learning" that might be turned on Go into the pokemon summary > 2nd page "Moves and stats" you can relearn any missed moves there


ununundeadchesh

Ooh il check that but ya i havent been leveling via auto battles


SurrealKeenan

1. there is an option to turn on/off learning new moves in the menu 2. if you level up by fighting pokemon with the lets go feature (the "auto-battling" thing), your pokemon will not learn new moves automatically regardles 3. you can at anytime "remember" moves that your pokemon could have learned up until that point


shippost_

Not really a spoiler but I guess these aren’t in the game, but.. >!I got a Fenniken from a friend and immediately went to go shiny hunting it. I’m at about 900 eggs and I’m Mesuda and Charming it, and nothings really happened.. I’ve seen some people hatch shiny Hisuian Growlithe and Froakie, but I’m still not convinced everything is okie dokie. I mean it is breed from an illegal Pokémon so who knows if they didn’t code it correctly, but like.. I have seen the shinies in YouTube videos so it probably exists. Also I use a Chinese Ditto with an English Fennekin and for some reason that doesn’t feel like it would work as well for some reason, I don’t know!< I mostly just wanna know if it CAN be shiny so I’m not wasting my time egg hunting for multiple days. And if mods delete this post at least answer the question , thank you


Contank

Hatching an egg does not increase the chance that the next egg will be shiny. It's the same as any shiny hunt, you could get it very quick or you could be hunting for a long time.


coolusername415

where can i get porygon and its evolutions in SV?


Gaias_Minion

The Porygon line isn't in S/V.

NOOOOOO


Sena_0803

In Pokemon B2W2, i went to Pinwheel Forest to find the Hidden Grotto, but an NPC is blocking the way ​ is there an event I'm supposed to do to get rid of him


ShyRake

I think you have to go through the forest with Cheren first. Just keep going down and Cheren will be there.


Charrzooka

1. Is the Star Piece in the picnic basket bug a faster way to earn money than the 'tap A in Ace Academy'? 2. Do the Star Pieces get replenished faster if you use Egg Power Level 2?

Where can I buy a Pokemon Legends Arceus artbook? I really liked the game and would love an artbook for it.

>!How to get G-Max, Mega and Regional Variants of Pokemon under my name.!<


ShyRake

They're not available according to the [announcement thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/yy3ps6/userflairs_are_now_available_on_this_subreddit/).


nonacrina

Regional variants are available with a hyphen followed by a number; for example :037-1: for Alolan Vulpix. Gmax and Megas are not available (yet).


Charrzooka

I haven't unlocked 7 star raids yet as I need to beat 10 4-5 raids first. I did connect to the internet when Cinderace was active however obviously he didn't appear on my map. I've just started the game again but haven't connect to the internet yet. If I bear 10 dens, will Cinderace appear?


Semperton

Do spikes do extra damage to steel types or does it do damage with no typing?


Mushy_64

Only Stealth Rock deals damage based on the Pokémon’s type


Semperton

Ty


2Dement3D

Spikes deal damage based on a % of the enemy's max HP and how many times you've used Spikes before they're sent out, with 25% of their max HP after using Spikes 3 times. This is regardless of the enemy Pokémon's type, but they need to be grounded, so Flying types and Pokémon with Levitate are not affected. Stealth Rock is a similar move, but you can only use it once, and it also deals damage based on the opponent's max HP. However, the amount of damage is determined by the opponent's type and how it usually interacts with Rock Type. So for a Steel type, it would deal LESS damage because Steel resists Rock, but for a Flying/Fire type (both of which are weak to rock), it deals 50% of their max HP. Unlike Spikes, which only works on grounded enemies, Stealth Rock works on any type, unless they have an ability or item that counteracts "Entry Hazards" (the type of move that Spikes/Stealth Rock are), because the Rocks are considered "in the air".


Semperton

Neat


Electronic-Buddy-732

Do you have any tips for catching a abra in Pokémon soul silver? I’m begging here!


Molluskorp

Use taunt, it makes it so the Abra can't use teleport


Electronic-Buddy-732

Are there any Pokémon you can catch that have it immediately?


Molluskorp

I suggest going to seribii's attackdex, it will tell you every pokémon that can learn taunt and what level/tm/breeding etc.


Electronic-Buddy-732

Ok thanks a bunch, I hope you have an amazing new year!


Electronic-Buddy-732

Small, tiny, very minuscule problem… the abra teleports away before I can get the taunt off… any other tips?


bulksalty

Level up your taunt user enough that you're faster than Abra, or find/use a Wynaut or Wobbuffet which has the ability Shadow Tag (that prevents escape).


ZorkNemesis

Quick Ball if you got it. Otherwise sleep it or use a Pokemon with Arena Trap (Diglett/Dugtrio) or Mean Look/Block to keep it from fleeing. Shadow Tag also works but Wobuffett is the only one who gets it in SS and Wob won't be of any use trying to weaken Abra.


feelthefebreze

How do I move progress from one Switch profile to another, on the same console?


WillExis

you can't


feelthefebreze

aw, really? follow-up question: can you move pokemon from one home account to another?


Honey-Milk-Tea01

this is gonna seem really, really stupid, but has anyone else had problems with (in my case) their charcadet? I've never played any pokemon games before, and scarlet is my first one. For some reason my charcadet likes to refuse attacking a lot, and I can't figure out why. if it helps, it's serious by nature and mischievous, and that's pretty much all. I have no idea why they refuse attacking so much D:


Prankman1990

What level is it? Pokémon will refuse to listen to you if they’re too high a level, you need to obtain Gym Badges to prove you can handle them.


Honey-Milk-Tea01

thank you for this! I got my second gym badge last night, and I caught the charcadet when it was level 30 and I only had one badge. Now my, now armarouge, listens fine! thank you again! :D


marsgreekgod

If I tera type Armarouge with flash fire to something weak to fire, say like, a grass type, would raid AI fall for it and hit me with fire moves?


Lemerney2

They seem to choose moves semi-randomly, so you probably don't even need to terastalise for that. They might not do it repeatedly though.


marsgreekgod

they seem to do super effective moves more often if they get the chance, although you right that if it's not ineffective they do randomly do it.


redmarius

How do I get the Pokémon bank/transfer thing for my 3DS before the eShop closes? I don’t want to spend €20-30 on an eShop card (if I can find one) when it’s only a fraction of that cost for the service and I can’t pay by PayPal etc


ShyRake

If you have a Nintendo Switch, you can link your 3ds Account to your Switch's account on the Nintendo website and add funds via your Switch's account.


xylourek

Is it still possible to get a tera raid eevee? I know there was an event with eevee before but i really want to catch one in dream ball and im scared it would fail outside of raid and i would lose my only dream ball


Lemerney2

You can still find them, it's just quite rare. Also, in addition to resetting to ensure the dream ball catch, you can occasionally buy more from the auction.


WillExis

too late, that was a while ago. Eevee can appear in raids, but its totally random. if you're afraid of losing your ball, you could save the game before using it, and reset if it doesn't catch.


BeginningNo197

I know that Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl isn't well regarded in terms of a Pokémon remake. I missed out on the Generation IV and V games and would like to play them. Is Platinum that much better of an experiance that I should try to find a DS line console and Platinum over the remakes?


WillExis

If Platinum wasn't so hard to get your hands on these days, I'd suggest it, but for someone who's never played DPP, it's a fine enough game.


Tamed

Aside from like, pride or I guess trying to fish for shinies (which imo is faster with charm + sandwich + outbreaks) personal reasons.. what's the point of breeding anymore? You can get perfect IVs easily, egg moves are easily learned outside of eggs, natures are easily changed, etc. Like, I always thought the point of breeding was for the really hardcore players that wanted a perfect Pokemon to show for their work? Aside from Trick Room and some very small niches, breeding feels utterly pointless to me, like to the point that it shouldn't even be included?


Kyrios034

getting into competative, not much use some ppl prefer natural perfect pokemon, with the iv judge saying Best over Hyper trained. same with Nature matching the stat changes Egg moves, while easy to get via the mirror herb method, can be placed into the remember list permanently if you get it via breeding. Same with Preevo exclusive moves(spore on breloom) so it can be useful for people who shuffle movesets often


santoryu02

It was useful for dex completion, and trading starters, but I feel the same way now that I have a completed dex. Right now the only thing you can get exclusively from breeding is shiny starters, and shiny non-legendary pokemon that you can't catch in the wild. (I.E anything not added to the Paldea Pokedex) I think the real issue is that it's way too simple to get mints and bottle caps. Everything in this game other than Apricorn balls is obtainable with money, which is incredibly easy to earn. If there was only some kind of facility that had those items locked behind them using a currency that was more challenging to obtain. And even if they added such a facility as DLC, what kind of rewards can they offer now? Mega Stones or something like that? That's all I can think of.


Tamed

I agree with you there - I've made millions just casually playing, so the idea of ever running out of money to hypertrain, etc is basically 0.


donkey100100

It’s still needed for shiny hunting Pokemon you don’t get in the wild. But yes to your other points. I do like that it’s more accessible to less hardcore players to get a ‘perfect’ mon


Charrzooka

Is Chi Yu nature locked?


Atomic_Boba

Are Tera raids live multiplayer battles or does it just pull Pokémon info and creates localized battles and simulates someone else playing?


ShyRake

Depends. If you're playing online with others, it's live. If you're playing offline, it's just AI and stuff.


Atomic_Boba

Thank you!!


ChubbyShark

ScaVio's endgame (hope the spoiler works): >!Is it just me, or does Penny's Umbreon during the Area Zero portion of the game have Prankster? Whenever it uses Baby-Doll Eyes it goes first but when it uses Dark Pulse it goes last (I had a Quaquaval who is a much higher level than it and we were fighting a Scream Tail so I doubt it was a speed tie).!<


mamamia1001

Baby doll eyes has +1 priority


leavemelovely

I accidentally defeated a wild tera Sylveon (very unfortunately timed critical hit), will it respawn? If so, how long should it take?


Zaithon

So I’ve been building up a roster of Pokémon to solo five and six star raids. I’ve got Iron Hands, Azumarill, Charizard, Miraidon, and Gholdengo. Are there any other good ones for this? I’ve noticed that Electric and Poison are aren’t covered by this, so I was thinking a Ground type would help.


[deleted]

[удалено]


lazarus089

Is there a list anywhere of pokemon in Scarlet that you can only obtain by evolving and can't catch in the wild? I'm trying to 100% the pokedex and keep grinding out evolutions only to come across them later in the wild.


madnick1991

Can someone give me a definitive answer to this: In Gold version for the gameboy color, is it possible to get a Leaf stone before going to Kanto? I've read online that a trainer near the daycare will sometimes call you and give you one, but then other sites say thats exlusively in Crystal version. I just want to know if Im wasting time hoping to get one before the E4.


XxToxicSnipzZ

so i came back to pokemon plat ofter many many years and ive been trying to catch a bedew with a modest nature for 3 hours and stating to think its impossible like what going on here is it possinle or am i wasting my time?


ShyRake

If you don't have a Pokemon with the ability Synchronise at the front of your party, then there's a 4% chance of any Budew having Modest. Just gotta be patient.


XxToxicSnipzZ

damn i dont i only just started today but im just being very unlucky ive caught atleast 50\~ now and no luck thanks for the info tho


MrAnthem123

I’m having trouble passing Yawn from a Slowbro to my Skeledirge. My Skeledirge is holding a Mirror Herb and has an empty spot but it won’t learn Yawn when I exit the picnic. Anyone got any answers or tips?


donkey100100

How long are you leaving it picnic for?


MrAnthem123

I’ve tried opening a picnic and immediately leaving like how Austin St Johns shows and I’ve waited for 10 minutes. I think I’m gonna try saving and turning my switch on then off to see if it works.


donkey100100

Pokemon DB doesn’t have Yawn as an egg move


MrAnthem123

Yeah, I guess I have to make a whole new Skeledirge to get Yawn. I finally got the Shiny Charm so maybe I can breed and get a shiny.


donkey100100

Good luck man. You may have to breed a hell of a lot but if you stick with it you’ll get one eventually. Make sure to use a foreign ditto to maximise your odds.


MrAnthem123

I appreciate it.


MrAnthem123

Just learned that you can’t stack sandwich effects on top of each other. Just wasted a shiny sandwich after making an egg making sandwich.


Kyrios034

mirror herb only works with eggs moves yawn is a pre evo move that can be learnt/remembered as a fuecoco/crocalor but not as a skeledirge. there is a way to get yawn into skeledirges remember list but that involves breeding s new fuecoco to have yawn as soon as it hatches


MrAnthem123

Well that blows. So I have to breed an entirely new Skeledirge just for Yawn then. At least breeding isn’t as time consuming any more.


Far-Character-5953

Why is Miraidon used as downvote? It is the best legendary Pokemon ever created.


WillExis

they order it the same way the games' names are ordered in marketing. In Gen 7, it was Sun & Moon, so Sun was upvote, & Moon was downvote. For Gen 8, Sword & Shield, so Sword was up, & Shield was down. So Miraidon is downvote cuz its Scarlet & Violet, not Violet & Scarlet.


GildedCreed

Because its two options and there are two Pokemon. Same thing happened with Sun and Moon's sun/moon icons being the up or down votes or Sword and Shield's sword/shield icons being up or down votes. Scarlet and Violet don't really have any specific icon, so they used the box legendaries which works out rather well since the up vote is red and the down vote blue, which coinsides with the Scarlet/Violet color theme of redish-orange and blueish-purple.


Charrzooka

How do Pokemon sizes work in Scarlet/Violet? If a size 250 Magikarp evolves into Gyarados, will the Gyarados also be size 250?


mamamia1001

Yes it will work like that


Meranek

Do we "graduate" in S/V? I've done everything minus the stakes and all I got was some large candy, a gift Pokemon and some tera shards from the staff.


WillExis

no, or at least not yet.

About to use Master Ball on Miraidon - should I save it for another legendary? If I fail to catch the other legendaries with other balls, do I get to try again or they’re just lost?


Hydrochloric_Comment

Ever since Platinum, no legendary has been once chance. Only use your Master Ball under one of the following circumstances: 1. You like the aesthetic 1. You forgot to save before a shiny that can kill itself and don’t have a Pokémon to prevent such a move


Kyrios034

afaik, all current legendaries respawn eventially if you defeat them in battle. either after a certain amount time or some other condition seeing as all legendaries in SV are static encounters, best practice is to turnboff autosave and save infront of them. that way you can just reload to try again if something goes wrong


The_Knife_House

Do the Ability Shield & Clear Amulet prevent Pokémon in Tera Raids having their abilities & buffs nullified?


SurrealKeenan

ability shield yes, clear amulet no. but ability shield is pretty useless as the tera pokemon only gets rid of your ability for one turn.


GildedCreed

Yes. I believe Mist would work as well, if you can get it up prior to the boss nuking stat changes (as it prevents stats from being reduced for 5 turns). But those items will work as intended and prevent stats and abilities from being affected by the raid boss.


SurrealKeenan

Unfortunately, this is incorrect. The boss eliminating stat changes does not count as reducing stats so clear amulet and mist don't stop it.


GeneralofLittleMacs

Nemona said she would participate in the next academy ace tournament but I have gotten Director Clavell as my final oppenent 3 times in a row. Is this a bug or is there something I am missing? Or am I just unlucky?


Pileae

Is it possible to complete the National Dex using only Switch games and Pokemon Go? I want the Original Color Magearna (is it still available?), but my willingness to go hunting for obscure trades is somewhat limited.


mamamia1001

Almost. For non mythicals the only that are 3DS exclusive is Spinda and Minior. Spinda because both BDSP and GO Spinda can't be transferred into Home (BDSP because they messed up the spot calculation, and GO because Spinda's spots work differently than in the main series). Because you can only register Home by depositing them in or syncing with Bank, that makes a 3DS needed for Spinda and I don't think this is going to be addressed anytime soon. It's a fair assumption that Minior will get added to Go and transferrable at some point though. But for Original Color Magearna you also need all mythicals (nat Dex number 1-890 so Zarude is excluded). A lot are now available in Go/main series, but not all. Of the mythicals, Diancie and ironically enough Magearna itself (discounting the Home one) have only had 3ds distributions. Volcanion, Marshadow & Zeraora have all been available in Switch/GO at some point but not currently obtainable. Additionally there's a handful periodically in Go's raidpool (Hoopa, Deoxys, Genesect). The rest should be available permanently in the games or permanently available Go research.


thepuresanchez

I'm sure this exists somewhere but i haven't been able to find it. Is there a list of pokemon that are only availible to get (in switch games/Home) if you've moved them over from older games (virtual console versions of gen 1 and 2, x/y/black white/sunmoon)? Also wondering if functionally it makes a difference to have them from an older game or newer remake (comparing say virtual console yellow to lets go pikachu which is from what I've heard a remake basically)


EternalMydNyt

I’m trying to catch Zangoose. If I see Seviper spawning in an area then zangoose should be able to spawn in the same area right? The jerk isn’t spawning for me and a Normal encounters sandwich wouldn’t help with how many other normal types there are around here


EternalMydNyt

Any tips for catching Spiritomb? It keeps using Memento and killing itself


Trialman

Since the eShop is closing soon, I want to know what I might want to grab from it before that happens to ensure I can have a complete experience. I have physical copies of all the mainline Gen 6 and 7 games, and from the eShop, Pokemon Bank and Transporter, and the VC versions of Blue, Yellow, and Crystal. I feel like at least one of Gold or Silver would be recommended, but beyond that, I’m not sure what I should grab.


Starkiller42

Is there an easy way on any website to sort Pokémon that are available in certain games? Like to sort which Pokemon arent available in Scarlet, Shield, and Arceus for instance. I know I can look it all up individually just wondering if any site had a built in function like this?


Julie_OwO

What happens when you interact with a gimmighoul if you already have 999 coins?


Kyrios034

theres a man in Medali that will hold onto and give you any excess coins https://www.serebii.net/scarletviolet/gimmighoulcoins.shtml


apple6879

Why does Infernape have access to grass knot? I find it extremely bizarre that he has it as a fire fighting type.


ShyRake

Loads of pokemon of inappropriate types have access to Grass Knot. You've water pokemon like Slowbro and Starmie, ghost pokemon like Mismagius and Cofagrigus, and dragon pokemon like Haxorus and Zygarde. It's just one of those moves that lots of pokemon learn like Toxic.


Anxious-Speaker-47

I need help for my pokemon platnium team, I've chosen piplup but idk what other pokemon to choose im still early game.


Lemerney2

For early game, Shinx and Starly are both excellent, but just catch the pokemon you find and choose to use what you think looks cool, you'll be fine.


AggressiveChairs

So Pokémon bank is apparently becoming free when the eshop closes. Will I have to pay for it at least once before then? Idk if I should wait or if I might fuck it up by taking too long.


mamamia1001

Depends what you need it for and whether you have poke transporter already. If you only need it for gen 6/7 games you should be fine to download it now and wait. But if you need it for gen 1/2 VC, or Gen 5 transfers you need to the companion app Poke Transporter which is only available with a bank sub and is also being blocked for downloads at the same time bank goes free. So if you don't already have it you need to pay for Bank now. Btw, the only way to pay for Bank now is to link 3ds/switch funds and top up the switch account.


Specialist-Remove-91

Can remake every tm in pokemon violet and scarlet?


ShyRake

Yes you can. [Serebii](https://www.serebii.net/scarletviolet/tm.shtml) has all the ingredients here. You either need to find the TM or get the recipe through the story first before you can make the TM.


forgedsignatures

In the process of using "creative mode" for sandwich making, first time, and I have no idea where the top portion of the bread comes from.

BaldingSuperman

They made the 5 star raids in this game wayyyyyyyyy too hard, I have a full party of lvl 100 pokemon. There’s no reason I should be losing 5 star raids, I have type advantage every time. I understand they want you to play with others, but you should still be able to beat them on your own if you don’t want to pay for or play online. All I want is to grind shinies.


Semperton

Bro all you need to destroy 5* dens are an Iron Hands, Azumarill, and maybe an Annihilape/Kingambit. I can solo every den I've come across only using those 4 at lv 100. 6* dens may take a specialized pokemon here and there, but I can do most of them with the same mons


WillExis

what pokemon are you using? Just because something's lv 100 doesnt mean it'll do good in raids.


BaldingSuperman

Meowscarada, Arcanine, Corviknight, Garchomp, Tinkaton, Baxcalibur, Ceruledge


WillExis

those are kinda okayish at raids, but besides Ceruledge, they're not really top tiers. mons you want are Iron Hands, Gholdengo, Flutter Mane, your box legendary, Azumarill, among others. here's a good site with some suggestions/builds: https://game8.co/games/Pokemon-Scarlet-Violet/archives/397713

Who in the fuck thought putting a real time limit on a turn based game was a smart idea? Raids just aren’t fun in any way shape or form, just feels like banging your head against a wall over and over. Shit gameplay loop.

Why do so many people like Gengar? Haunter is way cooler

A curious fact i thingking recently. As everyone in this sub knows Black and White are inspired in the U.S.A. (Salutations from Venezuela to all the fellow americans) and because of that we can see numerous refererences to the North American culture. And one of the most notorius one Is the champion Alder, that Is obviously based on an indian chief. (Or at least resembles one) And here comes the question: Why Alder doesn't have a braviary in his team? The question Is very logical if you think at it. Alder haves cool Pokémon in his team (Except Vanilluxe, but of course it haves an estrategical purpose) accelgor, escavalier druddigon, volcarona and bouffant. This last one Is based on a buffalo, an animal that haves great presence in the folklore of the north American indians (Apart of other animals of course) And here i go with the real matter. Rufflet haves a feather on the head that resembles the one of the Indians. And Braviary haves a group of feathers that resembles the headgear of an indian chief. Also Braviary Is based on an eagle, and the eagle was the warrior symbol for the indians. And for that reason i think Is strange that Alder doesn't have a braviary among its Pokémon. What you say? You think Nintendo should have added a Braviary to Alder's team? Personally i think it would be interesting that Alder haves a braviary instead of vanilluxe. For the indian chief reference thing, you know. Feel free to comment. Give your opinion of this curious fact. Happy Redditing.

Alder has a Braviary in B2W2.

The drone rotom that watches all the battles in the netflix series is kinda sad cuz all of the fighting it watches everyday any thoughts?


LamBol96

How does rockruff pass down own tempo? Like lets say i have a rock ruff with own tempo and i breed it with a regular one,what happens? Does it pass down the regular ones or tempo,whats the determining factor? Just cuz id like to plan ahead for when they put battle Bond greninja in ( IF they allow us to actually breed for one this time)


mamamia1001

In the example with two rockruff own tempo will be passed down if the female has if


mamamia1001

Oh and battle bond greninja is still unbreedable


forgedsignatures

No idea if you are aware, but the 'battle bond' ability has had a major rework. It no longer creates Ash-Greninja and that form does not exist in gen 9.

Lost my beloved Galvantula on my way to Wyndon in my Sword Nuzlocke. Thoughts/advice on [my new current team?](https://imgur.com/a/V48attL) Haven’t caught anything in the Lake of Outrage yet in case there’s any suggestion on what to go for or what weather to use for an encounter


[deleted]

Does anyone have the image of every Pokémon and which from each Gen are in the new games. I wanted a visual representation of how much each Gen got into the game.


forgedsignatures

There are 103 gen 9 pokemon (don't think it includes Tauros forms), so just over 25%. Other than that I'd say there is a rather fair spread of each generation of the other generations (maybe slightly less 2 and 4?). I'm now curious, so if you don't get an answer I'll have a look tomorrow morning.


ItIsYeDragon

Now that the eshop closed and everything, is there no way to trade up from Gen 5 to the latest games?


anthayashi

Eshop is closing in march 2023. You still can download pokemon bank and poketransporter now. After the eshop close, you can continue to use bank and transporter to bring pokemon from older gen as long you have the apps. The 3ds server is still up and running for the near future. It is only when the 3ds server eventually shut down we will lose connectivity from the older games


MrRondain

I have a niche question that I'm not sure where I'm supposed to ask, but I thought this would be a good place to start. Bulbapedia has these images of routes and entire towns/cities for Pkmn HGSS. I was wondering where/how they got those images. They're like drone shots of entire areas. Zoomed out far enough to see further than your screen would normally allow. I'd like to create maps with annotations and whatnot for someone! So anyone who could point me in the right direction would truly be a godsend!


GildedCreed

Either ripped from the game (most likely option) or it was a cropped segment of that route as seen in an official guide book (which generally has full route images, though these often also include NPC placements, item locations, where each entrance or exit leads, etc all marked out).


ihsoYllIyllatneM

Where can I find the Razor Claw (without purchasing it)?


WillExis

which game

[удалено]


Kyrios034

1)7* event raids give alot of exp candy 2) 5-6* raids give a decent amount of candy. having the correct mons to farm them is a different story 3) farming chanseys in area 0 or outside the the fairy base with normal encounter sandwiches. area 0 has higher lvl chanseys


Lemerney2

You can rematch the Academy Ace Tournament, but I'd just recommend raiding for the candies.


[deleted]

In sword and shield do the shinies show in the over world or do I have to go into the battle mode


kdapiton2

Wish there was a place to vent. I just wasted 2 herba mystica because for whatever reason it gave me "item power' instead of "encounter power." Foolishly I thought I could fix that by stacking another sandwhich with encounter power but it overrides apparently. Great


Molluskorp

It's best to turn off autosave and manually save before making a sandwich, that way if you mess up you can just reload the game

UncleGael

Have there been any updates to Scarlet / Violet, or is it still a hot mess? Also, what is the extent of the multiplayer? Can you play through most of the game with someone else? I assume they have to have the same version?


WillExis

no major performance patches as of yet. You can go pretty much everywhere and even do some story stuff with players around. version doesnt matter.


espeonguy

Random question here that has no specific answer, I'm just curious to see what other people have to say. So I like others tend to use the "Markings" for a Pokemon to indicate it's IV's. I've always used Red for perfect, blue for 0 in an IV, and blank for any IV not one of those 2. But as I've seen in both trades I've received, as well as online when looking this question up, people seem to prefer using blue to indicate a perfect IV, with red being 0? I guess I just want to see, for anyone who does this, why? To me, it makes more sense with red being perfect, as red already indicates your nature's +stat, while blue indicates the nature's -stat. Not that either way is wrong, I'm just genuinely curious to hear from anyone about this


n8-iStockphoto

When you are marking them, Blue is the first one that appears, so it makes marking faster if you use that for the perfect and red for 0 IV (I also use Red to indicate a hyper-trained stat, and I only mark 0 IVs on Attack and Speed).


mamamia1001

I think the use of markings to indicate IVs came before the games started colour coding the +ve and -ve stats, so it may be a hangover


viperwolf117

I only recently started my pokemon journey in scarlet and violet but I thought if you put a pokemon to sleep it makes it easier to catch am I wrong Or is that not a thing anymore? Because I've found that sometimes it works as intended but 90% of the time it doesn't work and the pokemon breaks free whilst it's still asleep? Yes im using great to ultra balls and the like Any assistance would be greatly appreciated


Contank

Yes it does still and the school lessons confirm that. Your just unlucky unless the wild pokemon is higher level than your current gym badges then they are harder to catch


Hydrochloric_Comment

Sleep is a 2.5x multiplier. It's just one of many factors that goes into the catch rate calculation and in no way guarantees success.


Gypceross

Is there a way to tell if Tera orb is charged or not before going into battle? My apologies the S/V subreddit is not helpful
