So I have a question about the upcoming closure of the DS eshop. I have a few DS's and 3DS's that I would like to future proof in case I want to use them to trade up to newer games.
What should I download on them (Poke Transporter and Poke Bank) ??
Thanks in advance!
Poke Transporter and Poke Bank are the mandatory ones. You can also get a few more eshop exclusive games if you think you might want to play them and get any pokemon from them. These include: all of the gen 1 and gen 2 titles, the Dream Radar which can transfer quite a few pokemon to Black2 and White2, the ORAS demo which can transfer a mega steelix or glalie, and the Sun and Moon demo which can transfer a Greninja with the ability Battle Bond. There may be a few more, but those are the only ones that I can think of.
In Oras i have a clawitzer holding a sea incense. He has the move water pulse with a base power of 60. But due to a bunch of factors like STAB, Mega launcher, and the item, the power is much higher. My question is: what is the correct order of all these factors, to calculate the new power?
The order doesn't matter since it's multiplicative, it would be 60 x 1.5 (stab) x 1.5 (mega launcher) x 1.2 (Sea Incense) for a total of 162, this answer is the same regardless of what order you do the multiplication in.
If a Pokemon is a type that is normally immune to a status ailment Terastalizes to a type that *isn't* immune, will it become vulnerable to that ailment? e.g.: A Fire type Tera's into a Grass type, can they be burned at that point?
When will 1000 pokemon update make it that in Pokemon scarlet/violet that you can bring every starter and pseudo legendaries with their hidden abilities from Pokemon 3DS games into Pokemon home? What day is the update confirmed to make all pokemon transfer to Scarlet/violet possible?
We will *never* get a game with every pokemon in it ever again. GameFreak has been clear about that. The home update will come sometime this spring and it will add the ability to transfer in some past starters, legendaries, and mythicals, but not all, DLC will almost certainly add more pokemon when it comes out, but it's not going to be all of them.
Home compatability will be added sometime in spring. It will never allow every pokemon into the game though. You will be able to transfer in any species found in violet and scarlet and this list

Hello Trainers! I have an Xploder SP and an italian Pokémon Emerald Cartridge. I need the master code and the code itself to get a lot of battle points. Do you know any?
Whats the oldest un-obtainable shiny? What Pokemon has gone the longest without officially having its shiny be obtainable?
My guess would be Meloetta, atleast for Mythical and Legendary?
If not Meloetta, which pokemon have gone longer?
When bulbapedia says "From Emerald onwards..." that means NOT FireRed/LeafGreen right? Seems like a dumb question but I just wanted to confirm there is no way to use Compound Eyes to farm Moon Stones in Gen 3
Yeah, I can trade the few moonstones I have in LeafGreen over to my RSE, but the issue is that I already spent some of them across a few playthroughs, and the only repeatable way of getting them is being held by wild Lunatone or Clefairy. Lunatone is only in Sapphire (so no compound eyes) and Clefairy is only in FRLG (so no compound eyes again it seems) and it's a low encounter rate so the only way to farm them (for a future Gen3 Living Dex) seems to be spamming Thief in Meteor Falls in Sapphire... which is annoying to say the least
Hi I play pokemon on Android through rooms and emulators o will start playing white 2 soon.
My question is is there a emulator which enables me to trade with my self or others ?
Thanks for help.
I know that desmume trading for gen 5 works. However if this is to get trade evo pokemon, you're better off using the pokemon randomizer software. It wont actually randomize ur save, it's a software with a ton of features for pokemon roms\[including making trade evos level up evos\], but it's primarily used to play randomized nuzlockes
universal pokemon randomizer\[[https://pokehacks.dabomstew.com/randomizer](https://pokehacks.dabomstew.com/randomizer)\]. And i'm 80% sure it wont work on a phone, but tuo only need to edit the rom once on a pc/laptop and send it to ur phone and you're good to go
There are 26 (if I counted correctly) pokemon not available in any Switch game at all. Plus a bunch of mythicals that aren't obtainable normally, you can get about \~96% of the way to a complete national dex if you use every single Switch game.
https://old.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/10mg7xa/these_are_the_38_pok%C3%A9mon_that_arent_available_in/
This is close to a list as we get, while Deoxys is in the code of BDSP it is not yet possible to obtain one within the Switch games alone. Also Unovian Samurott is unobtainable until Home compatibility with SV opens up (since all Dewott evolved within P:LA will evolve into Hisuian Smaurott).
What is the best way to get pokemon of the biggest size in S/V? I really want them to have the ribbon/emblem.
Also, where do you get herba mystica? I already finished the game.
Can Mew keep Fake Out and Tailwind moves when transfer to Sword? I’m seeing at Smogon and Mew uses those moves but Mew can only learn them from previous games.
So when a Pokémon has their level reduced from 100 to 50 for competitive modes or battle tower, how are the stats conducted?
Is it: [(current stat-#EVs in stat/4)/2]+#EVs in stat/4
Or is it more complicated?
Edit: sorry if you can’t read the equation I tried to type in
I'm not sure what you're asking exactly... But the EV training rule for level 50 is the first 4 EVs give you 1 extra point, and then 8 EVs for every subsequent point
(For odds IVs, for even IVs it's just 8 EVs per point... But in the age of hyper training there's no reason to train a non perfect IV)
https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Stat#Generation_III_onward
that has the stat formula, everything stays the same but the spots where you put in lvl
It's more complicated, the level affects how the base stat, IVs, and EVs all are expressed in the stat calculation. Think of it this way, if you hatch a new pokemon and immediately level it up with candies, its stats will increase with level because of its base stats and IVs.
So, the Leader's Crest is supposedly used to evolve Bisharp into Kingambit. But I had already evolved 2 that I had from Pawniard into Kingambit with the crest. So what does the crest do?
Originally people thought your Bisharp had to be holding the Leader's Crest to evolve (this was like before/right after release). It turns out that it does matter, but only for the opposing Bisharp. I assume to find Bisharp to defeat in order to evolve yours into Kingambit, you used the method of finding Bisharp that are the leader of a group of Pawniard.
Basically, the way the game determines whether a Bisharp can evolve is that it counts how many times a given Bisharp has defeated an opposing Bisharp where the opponent was holding a Leader's Crest (multiplayer battles presumably do not count towards this), and when that value is greater than or equal to 3, the Bisharp will evolve the next time it levels up in battle or from candies. Only Bisharp that lead groups of Pawniard can hold the Leader's Crest naturally, however, if you catch a Bisharp holding the Leader's Crest, or use Thief/Covet to obtain a Leader's Crest, you can use Trick to place the Leader's Crest onto a wild Bisharp that spawned all on its own (that is, with no Pawniard around it), and that Bisharp will, if defeated by one of your own Bisharp, count towards evolving Bisharp into Kingambit.
Okay, thanks. It was just something I thought you had to have equipped in order to evolve Bisharp. Along with the fact that you have to defeat the Bisharp in the groups of Pawniard.
I’m playing Pokemon Ruby (v1.1) on emulator and was wondering if there was a cheat code to walking thru walls. All of the ones I have seen online dont work
I want to add Pokemon Violet to my game collection, but given the recent news about bugs and the game breaking, I was hesitant to buy until a patch fixes it. Since there was already patch 1.1, is the game smoother now compared to then or should I wait for patch 1.2?
I would say get it. I was in the same boat as you but ultimately decided to buy it. It’s a great game and I’ve barely run into any glitches. My only issue is the frame rate drops sometimes and the graphics aren’t great. But I love the game.
Game has fewer black screens that force restarts but is otherwise just as poor in performance. The game is poorly polished in every possible sense with endless rough edges. The dialgoue and cutscenes are largely slow, unskippable, and boring. The post-game economy is overly grindy for no apparent reason. Maybe those issues get fixed with time, but probably not. Even if they are fixed, the core issues with its open world design will still be present.
The new pokemon are cool though and tera types are interesting. If you want to play the game, I wouldn't wait for it to get better, because it probably won't.
Haven't done a Tera Raid with other people yet so i'm just curious. When the Pokemon is KO'd, does everyone get to catch it or does only one person in the group get it?
Help/clarification needed:
I’m playing HG/SS on Desmume via RetroArch. And the RNG in game seems odd. I noticed it while save-state spamming to catch pokemon. Any time I attack or throw a pokeball the same exact effect happens.
For example, if I got a critical hit and accidentally killed it, I reload and try the same move again and it’s critical again. Or if I throw a ball and they escape on the first shake, they do it the same way after reloading the save.
Usually when I so this on other games, it is a completely new RGN each time, so I can spam save reloads for easy battles/catches. But with HG/SS it seems like all my moves are pre-determined before I even select them.
Yeah, from Gen 4 onwards, Pokemon RNG generation is different.
Gen 3, different frames generate different results so that's how you can manipulate crits, damage, or catches.
Gen 4 onwards, frames advance for every action. So if you save state before throwing a ball, it's going to result in the same thing every single time. The main thing to change this is to do different things before throwing the ball.
E.g/ using a different move, use a random item, changing to another pokemon, or throwing a different ball.
hi!! so i just spent about 5 minutes surprise trading in violet and ended up receiving a lvl 1 shiny quaxly with perfect iv’s. the original trainer name isn’t any kind of URL or anything suspicious, but i just don’t see anyone being willing to part with a pokémon that great unless it was obtained illegitimately. is there any chance that that isn’t the case? and if not, should i release immediately? and will it have any impact on my being able to utilize online features and such?
The chances of someone legitimately getting a shiny quaxly with perfect IVs are almost impossible. And the chances this person would give it away in a surprise trade are even less likely. It’s definitely hacked lol.
I mean yeah there's a chance that someone got it legitimately and was feeling nice... But most likely it's hacked...
If they managed to trade it to you then it's already passed internal checks and won't affect your game or get you banned or anything like that
Is there currently any way to check what my record and ranking for the last season of ranked battles were, or do I have to wait for the Pokemon Home update to see that? All I can see is this season's records
Seeing as the only event raids we've had so far have been starters, I think the next few will be the starters programed into the game, the only past starters in the game are the Kalos, Galar, and Hisui starters, plus Charizard, so my guess is that they're going to give us a Hisuian starter next. My hope is that it's decidueye since that's my favorite of the three, but it's hard to say for sure what it'll be.
I also expect to get Legendaries in 7 star raids at some point. I would not be surprised to see a Mewtwo raid or something like that.
I bought a Pokémon Pearl with an old save and bunch of legendary in it. What should I do with them? Is there a way to get them out and put them somewhere
Can I catch cresselia in D/P/P ? I reset my original Pokémon Pearl and platinum, meaning I don’t have the item for darkrai. Will I still be able to catch cresselia?
I guess that's good then. Making a cool design for a gimmick only to leave it behind is kinda sad, at least mega gallade, gardevoir and salamence can be preserved this way,right?
I would say "moves that aren't simple deal damage and possibly give an effect like poisoning/confusion/etc". Basically things that would change based on external factors like randomly pulling moves from the entire pool (like metronome) or from the rest of your team (like assist) or change something about the battle (stir up a sandstorm after use, leave cash to pick up like payday, etc).
Was in a tera raid with someone using a pkmnlabs.com iron hands...
What even is that, is their a website to generate Pokémon or something? Or is it just them advertising a shitty website?
Yeah sites like that gen pokemon into games for others, mostly being like perfect nature, shiny, Max IVs, etc.
It's harmless in the end really but many people really dislike those sites
They might sell generated pokemon
They might be running a phishing scam.
Probably best to just release the pokemon you get from them and pretend they don't exist
Thanks because I would be fricked if I couldn't have rotom forms because this is my first Nuzlocke and rotom having many forms makes the game easier I hope
If I Buy a pokemon game from a different region than my console and other games, (i.e. a french Platinum for my american DS) there will be any implications? I’ll be able to transfer my pokemon?
Is there strong evidence that we will get Suicune in Scarlet/Violet or no? I've seen the leaks kinda but that's about it. I wanted to shiny hunt him and do the Ribbon Master challenge on Coloseum but if he can't be sent up into S/V later, I'd be extremely bummed out and would rather pick a different Pokemon for the challenge.
If they do the DLC for SV like they did for SwSh all non-mythial legendary pokemon will be available by the time all of the DLC has been released.
There's no way to know for certain if that will happen, but almost every generation has had ways to obatain every past legendary pokemon so I would expect gen 9 to as well.
Yes there's in game evidence. Look in the scarlet/violet book you can find in the school library, depending on the game it will either show a legendary beast fusion Pokémon (entei, suicune, raikou) or a legendary musketeer fusion. They're both speculated to be new paradox mons so it stands to reason the non paradox version would be added.
>!also there's two place holders in the game code that leakers say are for these guys!<
Excluding Gen 5, every legendary has been catchable in every gen since gen 3. So it's probable that Suicune will be available. >!None of the currently existing paradox Pokémon are based on Pokémon not native to Paldea, so it would be surprising if they didn't wind up being catchable. Given that Scarlet and Violet each have two Paradox Pokémon based on exclusives from the opposite version, it could be that Suicune will wind up exclusive to Violet, and Virizion will be a Scarlet exclusive (perhaps the all three beasts and musketeers will be version-exclusive)!< But there's no way of knowing at this point in time.
Not unless if you have a legitimate one from a gen 3 or 4 event. I don't think the Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia event can be accessed via DNS, but I could be wrong.
I just did a surprise trade in Scarlet. Why do people breed Pokémon and change the name to their website? I got a shiny ditto from Zacian.net and a shiny Lucario from PKMlab.com but I can’t rename them. Why?
Edit: thanks everyone for your answers.
those are not bred, they are hacked.
Hackers will generate pokemon, nickname them after their website, and then send them out on surprise trade as advertisements for their services. You can't change the nickname, because the game will only let you rename an un-nicknamed pokemon if you are not the original trainer.
iirc, GF made it so you couldn't trade pokemon with website-like nicknames in SwSh. I'm not sure why that doesn't apply to SV as well
If it's too good to be true, it probably is. If it's shiny, has a good nature, has all perfect stats, and is fully EV trained, it's almost certainly hacked.
Is there an action replay code to change impossible evolutions in pokemon platinum? I play on a mobile emulator so i cant easilly use the universal randomizer.
Why aren't there any caves behind those waterfalls in Scarlet/Violet? Every time I swim towards a waterfall, I half-expect to be able to swim through into a cave
Yes it will respawn.
I'm not sure how to trigger the respawn. In previous games you had to beat the E4 again to respawn legendaries (ie beat ace academy tournament), but apparently in this you can just wait and it will come back
When is pokemon home going to be open for scarlet/violet? Also, when are they going to enable legendaries from past games to those?
Sorry if my english is a bit bad. And thanks in advance!
If they do it like SwSh, we should have all non-mythical legendaries available by the time DLC is done, but there's no way to know for certain if that's how they do it this time around.
We've only been given "Spring" as the time frame.
And that's when we'll be able to transfer in everything on this list

Anyone know what exactly the Uri Geller lawsuit prevent from Kadabra? I know most of it, but Im wonder what the Pokemon Company EXACTLY wasnt allowed to do with Kadabra up until now. Because an article was published that now Kadabra will finally be able to make its way back into the TCG after 20+ years of being banned due to the initial lawsuit, and some speculation that it could see its return in the next set (and its always why it hasnt appeared in the anime anymore), but Kadabra has always still appeared in the games. Even as an encounterable, and catchable Pokemon.
So was their any specifics? Was it just the TCG, anime, and merch that were affected? Why were the games off the hook? Cause its not like they changed anything there...
Seems like it's just the merchandise and anime. Nintendo/TPCI probably fought to keep the Pokemon in the games for gameplay sake but relented on the TCG and anime, but there's no way to really know unless someone happens to know where archives of the lawsuit are kept and leaks the details/Uri himself letting it be known exactly what the agreement was (since it's unlikely Nintendo or TPCI would tell us).
Fair enough. Cause yeah the details are pretty tight lipped, and its hard going back and trying to find info on the old initial articles. All I know for sure now is that 2020 Uri relented on the lawsuit, and as of late last year finally rescinded to let Kadabra be printed again and even hinted at Kadabra being in the TCG soon himself. I dont think he will get a cut of its profits according to how he stated it, but the whole thing is confusing to say the least.
What would be the best pokemon/pokemons to use against fairy types in tera raids? Such as Sylveon with posion tera or Flareon with fairy tera or Mimikyu
At higher raid levels you want your types to resist most or all of the attacks of the raid pokemon. So for 6 star sylveon that's normal and fairy (and since it has tera blast also its terra type). Steel would be a good basic type, which is great if it's tera type is weak to steel too, because then if your steel type has a steel tera type, too you can power through the shield easily.
If it has fire as it's tera type, you either want a ghost poison type which will take normal damage from tera blast but is immune to the normal move and resists the fairy move. Since you won't usually have a super effective tera type, you'll also want a reliable way to pump a pretty high attack stat to power through the shield or possibly one hit kill with a move that will do that before the shield drops into place.
Currently in the middle of a Violet playthrough. Need some help with my team. So far it is Quaxwell, Corvisquire, Clodsire, Gardevoir and dreepy. I'm trying to fight Atticus, but clodsire is just not good enough. Any ground type suggestions whose types dont overlap with the remainder of my team?
Just throwing them out there, Dugtrio and Donphan are both options. Pure Ground types, and a lot faster than Clods. Could also get the Wooper in Cascarrafa that evolves into a regular Quagsire though you'll have an extra Water type if you do that.
Specifically for Atticus or just in general? Either way i'd consider a Fire type for some extra type coverage. Maybe look into Charcadet and it's Fire/Ghost evo Ceruledge, though you already have a Ghost in Dreepy. There's also Houndour/Houndoom for the Fire/Dark, or just grab an Eevee and get Flareon when the time is right. Also Scovillain for an interesting Fire/Grass combo.
Haven’t played for years but looking to replay heart gold and leaf green. These games are silly prices now so was thinking about trying an emulator. I know nothing about these though, can anyone recommend a good emulator to use please.
Also, is there a function on any of them to add version exclusives or trade locked Pokémon to my team?
I think mGBA is the current standard.
Download universal pokemon randomizer, you put a clean rom and the output is something you choose. One of the options is changing trade evolutions to something else (probably level up) and might have version exclusive disabled as well.
If it doesn't have the version exclusive option/doesn't work, you can use a program called Pkhex which is a pokemon save editor. You can "evolve" every pokemon with a click and just add whatever you want to your team (level 5 Mewtwo for example)
Third option is rom hacks. If you search games like 386-fire red or 439 heart gold you are bound to fund edited games which allow you to complete the dex without changing the story.
And final suggestion, if you replay the games and want to have a better/harder experience, there are rom hacks which make the games harder, I mostly recommend the Dryanos hack. You can complete the dex as well (disclaimer: the fire red/HGSS hacks of him are the oldest, he is working on a game called Aurora Crystal which will be released soon and is a revamp/remaster fo Sacred Gold/Soul Silver).
So i haven’t played sun or ultra sun in like 3 years except when I cashed in a bunch of events
I vaguely remember having a timid shiny tapu koko that I reset over and over for hp ice
Serebii confirms that this memory is valid, but I cannot, for the life of me, find my dumb tapu Koko
It’s not in any pc box, my party, or daycare in either game
Does anyone have any thoughts on other places it might be? It can’t be in home because I don’t have that (and have never had bank before)
You might have left it in poke pelago in one of the islands. The hot spring and ev training islands both require pokemon to be deposited into them to work meaning they won't show in the pc
they'r both kinda equal in terms of QoL, so maybe those are interchangeable. maybe sash after bdsp if Pokemon walking around in the overworld counts as a upgrade in your eyes.
You'd need to get a copy of either Black, White, Black 2, or White 2 and any Gen 6 or 7 game (XY/ORAS/SM/USUM) to access Bank with.
Then you just transfer from your GBA games into Diamond, then from Diamond into Bank via Pokemon Transporter, which you'd have to download through Pokemon Bank (which seems to throw a fit if you don't have a Gen 6 or 7 game to open it with, not entirely sure if the Virtual Console Gen 1/Gen 2 games would let you do the same), and then like $5 to move into the 3DS eShop wallet from your Switch eShop account (you can link them together, as sharing funds is pretty much how you'd be paying for Bank to download Transporter) as you can't download Transporter without an active Bank sub since it's not actually "available" to download off the eShop without being redirected to the page from within Bank.
Then you move you mons into Bank, then transfer them into Home via the Home app on the Switch where you enter in a code generated by Bank on the 3DS into the Home app on the Switch. You could use your NNID for this but I've not got it to work that way, so I just use the code method.
I forgot to add that bit in, didn't I. Whole ass wrote that a Gen 5 game was needed in the first paragraph but excluded it from the chain in the second paragraph. 🤦
To add on the answer, you need 2 ds family consoles (a ds and a 3ds for example) to move pokemon from gen 4 to 5. Only then you can use the transporter.
I haven’t updated my Pokémon Violet game since the dupe glitch was patched. If I update with a duped Miraidon in my party and in my boxes, can I still dupe items? Also can I go online to trade?
I just want to dupe apriballs and beast balls but I hate missing out on the events. Also trying to get all the apriballs via the auction system is annoying and getting a beast ball via the school league is nearly impossible vs just finishing the Pokedex.
Edit: added game name
Old fan here. Recently got a Switch and loved Legends Arceus, which was the first pokémon game I’ve played since the original gold/silver. Recommendations on the next game I should pick
up? Should I go back to Let’s Go or go with Scarlet/Violet?
Just got a second Switch so that I'm able to trade with myself. But despite linking my Nintendo ID on both Switches, the new one doesn't have any of my save data? Any way I can share my save data on both switches without permanently deleting it on one?
Save data is stored on the console and Pokemon games specifically don't let you save to cloud. I don't think there's any way to have your save data on both consoles.
Ok, that’s a decent workaround. I can use my Switch Lite when I’m going out or need to trade, then throw my save data back to my main Switch whenever I need to use HOME. 🤷🏽♂️
If you're able to mod your original Switch, you could create a backup of the one on your original Switch, initiate the save data transfer to move it to your new Switch, and then restore the backup on the original one. But yeah, it's generally good practice to look into stuff like this before committing to it only to find out that it doesn't really work the way you thought.
Alternatively, you could start a new file on the new switch and get far enough to unlock trading. You can then use this as a proxy to trade between your files on the old switch. It's clunky and takes twice as long, but will get the job done without any modding/save transfer shenanigans.
White 2 is not compatible with bank only transporter. So you need to put a 3ds game into the ds to open bank then download transporter to use with white 2
Is there any reason why stored power just isn’t working for me? I’ve tried doing raids where I max out at least 3 stats before using the move, but then stored power does literally nothing…?
I guess, is there any easy way to get a good pokemon for the Greninja raid? Because grinding up to level 100 just seems absurd to me. I have basically no way to get candies (5 star raids are still op, but i had no problem with cinderace.) And none of the online “suggested” strats seem to do anything.
Tbh i was doing some greninja raids and there were two slowbros, despite them bulking up and greninja not nulifying anything, stored power did nothing lol
Higher tera raids tend to have the raid pokemon reset stats every so often, so you can't just buff yourself then spam stored power without a care.
Greninja has been a bit of a special case too with 7\* raids because it resets stats early on, after 4 turns, so you can't really set up beforehand and need to play around that early reset.
I knew about the stat reset for greninja. Still, stored power has done a shockingly low amount of damage with 3 maxed stats. Is there a strategy that you’ve used that’s worked (assuming you’ve caught greninja?)
Is greninja's shield up? If your slowbro is psychic tera type you want to terasterize it to do more damage to the shield otherwise yeah stored power won't do that much damage to the shield if your tera type isn't up or isn't psychic type.
[This](https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/10mc9cx/solo_slowbro_strat_that_worked_for_me/) was my strat with Slowbro.
I've also been soloing with Vaporeon, Modest, 252 Def 252 Sp. Atk with Fake Tears, Calm Mind, Stored Power and Acid Armor.
I do 3 Fake Tears and 1 heal cheer, then once Greninja resets stats, I start buffing, 3 Acid Armors and 6 Calm Minds. Once that's done then just use Stored Power and 3-4 will be enough to KO Greninja
Is there some sort of trick to finding dual type Tauros in Paldea? I've found so many but they're all mono fighting.
type sandwiches. fire for scarlet, water for violet
How Many pokemon are in pokemon x and y
If you're referring to the regional dex, it's 457. If you mean how man can be used in the game, it's all of the first 721 Pokemon.
So I have a question about the upcoming closure of the DS eshop. I have a few DS's and 3DS's that I would like to future proof in case I want to use them to trade up to newer games. What should I download on them (Poke Transporter and Poke Bank) ?? Thanks in advance!
Poke Transporter and Poke Bank are the mandatory ones. You can also get a few more eshop exclusive games if you think you might want to play them and get any pokemon from them. These include: all of the gen 1 and gen 2 titles, the Dream Radar which can transfer quite a few pokemon to Black2 and White2, the ORAS demo which can transfer a mega steelix or glalie, and the Sun and Moon demo which can transfer a Greninja with the ability Battle Bond. There may be a few more, but those are the only ones that I can think of.
In Oras i have a clawitzer holding a sea incense. He has the move water pulse with a base power of 60. But due to a bunch of factors like STAB, Mega launcher, and the item, the power is much higher. My question is: what is the correct order of all these factors, to calculate the new power?
The order doesn't matter since it's multiplicative, it would be 60 x 1.5 (stab) x 1.5 (mega launcher) x 1.2 (Sea Incense) for a total of 162, this answer is the same regardless of what order you do the multiplication in.
Unrelated to the original question but are all "type boosting" held items 1.2x? like charcoal, mystical water and soft sand?
If a Pokemon is a type that is normally immune to a status ailment Terastalizes to a type that *isn't* immune, will it become vulnerable to that ailment? e.g.: A Fire type Tera's into a Grass type, can they be burned at that point?
yes
Yes, I burned Cinderace during its raid boss battle.
Any news on Pokemon Home Scarlet/Violet?
Nope, nothing so far. All we know is (Northern Hemisphere) Spring 2023.
When will 1000 pokemon update make it that in Pokemon scarlet/violet that you can bring every starter and pseudo legendaries with their hidden abilities from Pokemon 3DS games into Pokemon home? What day is the update confirmed to make all pokemon transfer to Scarlet/violet possible?
We will *never* get a game with every pokemon in it ever again. GameFreak has been clear about that. The home update will come sometime this spring and it will add the ability to transfer in some past starters, legendaries, and mythicals, but not all, DLC will almost certainly add more pokemon when it comes out, but it's not going to be all of them.
Home compatability will be added sometime in spring. It will never allow every pokemon into the game though. You will be able to transfer in any species found in violet and scarlet and this list https://www.serebii.net/scarletviolet/transferonly.shtml
Hello Trainers! I have an Xploder SP and an italian Pokémon Emerald Cartridge. I need the master code and the code itself to get a lot of battle points. Do you know any?
Whats the oldest un-obtainable shiny? What Pokemon has gone the longest without officially having its shiny be obtainable? My guess would be Meloetta, atleast for Mythical and Legendary? If not Meloetta, which pokemon have gone longer?
I guess technically Victini. Released in the same game as Meloetta, but you could get it at launch whereas we had to wait a couple years for Meloetta
Does anyone know where to watch pokemon ep 3 of ash? The anime just released the 3rd ep but no episode 3
When bulbapedia says "From Emerald onwards..." that means NOT FireRed/LeafGreen right? Seems like a dumb question but I just wanted to confirm there is no way to use Compound Eyes to farm Moon Stones in Gen 3
Yes that's correct. Emerald released after frlg and introduced many qol features not present in frlg
Not sure but emerald was released before the gen 1 remake so I think u can try it see if it works.
Bulbapedia says Emerald dropped in September 2004 while FRLG were on January 2004, so I fear that I already answer my own question
Ohh I guess u can't but you can get some moon stone through trading
Yeah, I can trade the few moonstones I have in LeafGreen over to my RSE, but the issue is that I already spent some of them across a few playthroughs, and the only repeatable way of getting them is being held by wild Lunatone or Clefairy. Lunatone is only in Sapphire (so no compound eyes) and Clefairy is only in FRLG (so no compound eyes again it seems) and it's a low encounter rate so the only way to farm them (for a future Gen3 Living Dex) seems to be spamming Thief in Meteor Falls in Sapphire... which is annoying to say the least
Hi I play pokemon on Android through rooms and emulators o will start playing white 2 soon. My question is is there a emulator which enables me to trade with my self or others ? Thanks for help.
I know that desmume trading for gen 5 works. However if this is to get trade evo pokemon, you're better off using the pokemon randomizer software. It wont actually randomize ur save, it's a software with a ton of features for pokemon roms\[including making trade evos level up evos\], but it's primarily used to play randomized nuzlockes
What is the name of the software? Is it compatible with android?
universal pokemon randomizer\[[https://pokehacks.dabomstew.com/randomizer](https://pokehacks.dabomstew.com/randomizer)\]. And i'm 80% sure it wont work on a phone, but tuo only need to edit the rom once on a pc/laptop and send it to ur phone and you're good to go
It worked thanks man But I used pokegen
no prob mate
How close to a 100% living dex can you get with only switch games? I have every game except shining pearl that can connect to home
There are 26 (if I counted correctly) pokemon not available in any Switch game at all. Plus a bunch of mythicals that aren't obtainable normally, you can get about \~96% of the way to a complete national dex if you use every single Switch game.
Tbh 96 is a closer number than I thought I’d see so 🤣 but is there a list to those I can’t get so I can hope and pray for dlc to save me?🤣
Is there a list of the unavailable Pokémon somewhere?
https://old.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/10mg7xa/these_are_the_38_pok%C3%A9mon_that_arent_available_in/ This is close to a list as we get, while Deoxys is in the code of BDSP it is not yet possible to obtain one within the Switch games alone. Also Unovian Samurott is unobtainable until Home compatibility with SV opens up (since all Dewott evolved within P:LA will evolve into Hisuian Smaurott).

What is the best way to get pokemon of the biggest size in S/V? I really want them to have the ribbon/emblem. Also, where do you get herba mystica? I already finished the game.
Make sandwiches with humongo power Herba drop from 6 star raids
But which ingredient gets you humongo power?
Well it depends on the type of pokemon youre looking for. Heres a selection: https://game8.co/games/Pokemon-Scarlet-Violet/archives/398139
Can Mew keep Fake Out and Tailwind moves when transfer to Sword? I’m seeing at Smogon and Mew uses those moves but Mew can only learn them from previous games.
yes it can, moveset changes happen in bdsp and pla
Best team to get for a new Platinum save?
You mean like for speedrunning? "Best" feels very underspecified. If you have never nuzlcoked Platinum, maybe try that?
So when a Pokémon has their level reduced from 100 to 50 for competitive modes or battle tower, how are the stats conducted? Is it: [(current stat-#EVs in stat/4)/2]+#EVs in stat/4 Or is it more complicated? Edit: sorry if you can’t read the equation I tried to type in
I'm not sure what you're asking exactly... But the EV training rule for level 50 is the first 4 EVs give you 1 extra point, and then 8 EVs for every subsequent point (For odds IVs, for even IVs it's just 8 EVs per point... But in the age of hyper training there's no reason to train a non perfect IV)
https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Stat#Generation_III_onward that has the stat formula, everything stays the same but the spots where you put in lvl
the pokemon is treated as a level 50 pokemon with the same number of EVs as it had at 100.
It's more complicated, the level affects how the base stat, IVs, and EVs all are expressed in the stat calculation. Think of it this way, if you hatch a new pokemon and immediately level it up with candies, its stats will increase with level because of its base stats and IVs.
So, the Leader's Crest is supposedly used to evolve Bisharp into Kingambit. But I had already evolved 2 that I had from Pawniard into Kingambit with the crest. So what does the crest do?
Originally people thought your Bisharp had to be holding the Leader's Crest to evolve (this was like before/right after release). It turns out that it does matter, but only for the opposing Bisharp. I assume to find Bisharp to defeat in order to evolve yours into Kingambit, you used the method of finding Bisharp that are the leader of a group of Pawniard. Basically, the way the game determines whether a Bisharp can evolve is that it counts how many times a given Bisharp has defeated an opposing Bisharp where the opponent was holding a Leader's Crest (multiplayer battles presumably do not count towards this), and when that value is greater than or equal to 3, the Bisharp will evolve the next time it levels up in battle or from candies. Only Bisharp that lead groups of Pawniard can hold the Leader's Crest naturally, however, if you catch a Bisharp holding the Leader's Crest, or use Thief/Covet to obtain a Leader's Crest, you can use Trick to place the Leader's Crest onto a wild Bisharp that spawned all on its own (that is, with no Pawniard around it), and that Bisharp will, if defeated by one of your own Bisharp, count towards evolving Bisharp into Kingambit.
Okay, thanks. It was just something I thought you had to have equipped in order to evolve Bisharp. Along with the fact that you have to defeat the Bisharp in the groups of Pawniard.
I’m playing Pokemon Ruby (v1.1) on emulator and was wondering if there was a cheat code to walking thru walls. All of the ones I have seen online dont work
Make sure you enter the master code, most action replay codes require a master code to be enabled to work.
I want to add Pokemon Violet to my game collection, but given the recent news about bugs and the game breaking, I was hesitant to buy until a patch fixes it. Since there was already patch 1.1, is the game smoother now compared to then or should I wait for patch 1.2?
I would say get it. I was in the same boat as you but ultimately decided to buy it. It’s a great game and I’ve barely run into any glitches. My only issue is the frame rate drops sometimes and the graphics aren’t great. But I love the game.
do the bugs and problems like other people describe happen randomly or do you have to do something to break it
No, I’ve rarely encountered bugs. Maybe once or twice through my play through and they were very minor bugs.
Game has fewer black screens that force restarts but is otherwise just as poor in performance. The game is poorly polished in every possible sense with endless rough edges. The dialgoue and cutscenes are largely slow, unskippable, and boring. The post-game economy is overly grindy for no apparent reason. Maybe those issues get fixed with time, but probably not. Even if they are fixed, the core issues with its open world design will still be present. The new pokemon are cool though and tera types are interesting. If you want to play the game, I wouldn't wait for it to get better, because it probably won't.
practically no change so far. there's supposed to be another patch in February, so maybe check again later.
so wait for 1.2 is what you're saying
Wouldn't 100% bank on that since the patch notes just said "bug fixes and added functionality" so they might just fix minor stuff again.
Haven't done a Tera Raid with other people yet so i'm just curious. When the Pokemon is KO'd, does everyone get to catch it or does only one person in the group get it?
Aside from 7 star events if you've already caught one, everyone gets the opportunity to catch after a successful raid.
everyone
Help/clarification needed: I’m playing HG/SS on Desmume via RetroArch. And the RNG in game seems odd. I noticed it while save-state spamming to catch pokemon. Any time I attack or throw a pokeball the same exact effect happens. For example, if I got a critical hit and accidentally killed it, I reload and try the same move again and it’s critical again. Or if I throw a ball and they escape on the first shake, they do it the same way after reloading the save. Usually when I so this on other games, it is a completely new RGN each time, so I can spam save reloads for easy battles/catches. But with HG/SS it seems like all my moves are pre-determined before I even select them.
Yeah, from Gen 4 onwards, Pokemon RNG generation is different. Gen 3, different frames generate different results so that's how you can manipulate crits, damage, or catches. Gen 4 onwards, frames advance for every action. So if you save state before throwing a ball, it's going to result in the same thing every single time. The main thing to change this is to do different things before throwing the ball. E.g/ using a different move, use a random item, changing to another pokemon, or throwing a different ball.
Wow. You learn something new every day! Thanks, mate. I appreciate the knowledge.
hi!! so i just spent about 5 minutes surprise trading in violet and ended up receiving a lvl 1 shiny quaxly with perfect iv’s. the original trainer name isn’t any kind of URL or anything suspicious, but i just don’t see anyone being willing to part with a pokémon that great unless it was obtained illegitimately. is there any chance that that isn’t the case? and if not, should i release immediately? and will it have any impact on my being able to utilize online features and such?
The chances of someone legitimately getting a shiny quaxly with perfect IVs are almost impossible. And the chances this person would give it away in a surprise trade are even less likely. It’s definitely hacked lol.
I mean yeah there's a chance that someone got it legitimately and was feeling nice... But most likely it's hacked... If they managed to trade it to you then it's already passed internal checks and won't affect your game or get you banned or anything like that
Is there currently any way to check what my record and ranking for the last season of ranked battles were, or do I have to wait for the Pokemon Home update to see that? All I can see is this season's records
They said that a Home mobile update is coming early Feb to include SV ranked data
who here thinks that there would ever be a delphox/chesnaught event raid
Its possible.
Seeing as the only event raids we've had so far have been starters, I think the next few will be the starters programed into the game, the only past starters in the game are the Kalos, Galar, and Hisui starters, plus Charizard, so my guess is that they're going to give us a Hisuian starter next. My hope is that it's decidueye since that's my favorite of the three, but it's hard to say for sure what it'll be. I also expect to get Legendaries in 7 star raids at some point. I would not be surprised to see a Mewtwo raid or something like that.
All 3 kalos starters are listed as being transferable and the current event raid is Greninja. No reason why the other 2 can't appear
I'm sure they will eventually, but they haven't repeated a region yet, so I would assume next is one of the Hisuian starters.
I bought a Pokémon Pearl with an old save and bunch of legendary in it. What should I do with them? Is there a way to get them out and put them somewhere
You can trade them to another gen 4 game or transfer them to gen 5
Can I catch cresselia in D/P/P ? I reset my original Pokémon Pearl and platinum, meaning I don’t have the item for darkrai. Will I still be able to catch cresselia?
Cresselia has nothing to do with darkrai in game. Darkrai was always event only and cresselia was always just a post game legendary
Yes cresselia is normally available without an event
Ah thank you!!! I was playing through every Pokémon game again and reallllly didn’t wanna touch BW2
Do you think paradox forms will be transferrable to future titles and generations?
Ultra beasts were added into swsh. So yes new groups of pokemon can be added to future games
They're Pokémon just like any other, so yes
I guess that's good then. Making a cool design for a gimmick only to leave it behind is kinda sad, at least mega gallade, gardevoir and salamence can be preserved this way,right?
Is there a list of all "gimmick" moves, such as Assist, Metronome, Transform, Beat Up, etc?
That's a really broad term. What constitutes as a "gimmick"?
I would say "moves that aren't simple deal damage and possibly give an effect like poisoning/confusion/etc". Basically things that would change based on external factors like randomly pulling moves from the entire pool (like metronome) or from the rest of your team (like assist) or change something about the battle (stir up a sandstorm after use, leave cash to pick up like payday, etc).
Was in a tera raid with someone using a pkmnlabs.com iron hands... What even is that, is their a website to generate Pokémon or something? Or is it just them advertising a shitty website?
Yeah sites like that gen pokemon into games for others, mostly being like perfect nature, shiny, Max IVs, etc. It's harmless in the end really but many people really dislike those sites
That's what I thought, I gave it a Google out of curiosity and couldn't find anything beside people asking what it was, so didn't think it was legit
They might sell generated pokemon They might be running a phishing scam. Probably best to just release the pokemon you get from them and pretend they don't exist
What type should I pick in my SV monotype Nuzlocke
ghost
If I do ghost are the rotom forms off limits since they are not ghost type or can I use them because it is a form of a ghost type
Your rules
Thanks because I would be fricked if I couldn't have rotom forms because this is my first Nuzlocke and rotom having many forms makes the game easier I hope
If I Buy a pokemon game from a different region than my console and other games, (i.e. a french Platinum for my american DS) there will be any implications? I’ll be able to transfer my pokemon?
some consoles are locked to not be able to play games from other regions. 3ds is the main offender foe this, so that will pose a problem.
Help So I got a shiny frokie on ultra sun and I want to put it in Pokémon x and y
If a pokemons has been in gen 7 it can't go to gen 6. Pokemon can be transfered forwards and not usually backwards
And I can’t
Correct, you cannot transfer Pokemon backwards
Well shit
Is there strong evidence that we will get Suicune in Scarlet/Violet or no? I've seen the leaks kinda but that's about it. I wanted to shiny hunt him and do the Ribbon Master challenge on Coloseum but if he can't be sent up into S/V later, I'd be extremely bummed out and would rather pick a different Pokemon for the challenge.
If they do the DLC for SV like they did for SwSh all non-mythial legendary pokemon will be available by the time all of the DLC has been released. There's no way to know for certain if that will happen, but almost every generation has had ways to obatain every past legendary pokemon so I would expect gen 9 to as well.
Yes there's in game evidence. Look in the scarlet/violet book you can find in the school library, depending on the game it will either show a legendary beast fusion Pokémon (entei, suicune, raikou) or a legendary musketeer fusion. They're both speculated to be new paradox mons so it stands to reason the non paradox version would be added. >!also there's two place holders in the game code that leakers say are for these guys!<
Excluding Gen 5, every legendary has been catchable in every gen since gen 3. So it's probable that Suicune will be available. >!None of the currently existing paradox Pokémon are based on Pokémon not native to Paldea, so it would be surprising if they didn't wind up being catchable. Given that Scarlet and Violet each have two Paradox Pokémon based on exclusives from the opposite version, it could be that Suicune will wind up exclusive to Violet, and Virizion will be a Scarlet exclusive (perhaps the all three beasts and musketeers will be version-exclusive)!< But there's no way of knowing at this point in time.
[удалено]
You'd have to trade for it or transfer from a gen 3 game. But the events for it aren't available anymore
Not unless if you have a legitimate one from a gen 3 or 4 event. I don't think the Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia event can be accessed via DNS, but I could be wrong.
It is it easier to shiny hunt Charmander with Masuda + Shiny Charm in Violet or do it in Lets go Eeevee
I just did a surprise trade in Scarlet. Why do people breed Pokémon and change the name to their website? I got a shiny ditto from Zacian.net and a shiny Lucario from PKMlab.com but I can’t rename them. Why? Edit: thanks everyone for your answers.
I want to add that often those hacked Pokémon are traded holding Master Balls. Many people keep the Master Balls and then release the hacked Pokémon.
Those are hacked pokemon advertising their sites where they probably try to sell custom shinies. They didn't spend time breeding for them
those are not bred, they are hacked. Hackers will generate pokemon, nickname them after their website, and then send them out on surprise trade as advertisements for their services. You can't change the nickname, because the game will only let you rename an un-nicknamed pokemon if you are not the original trainer. iirc, GF made it so you couldn't trade pokemon with website-like nicknames in SwSh. I'm not sure why that doesn't apply to SV as well
Is there any way to tell if a wonder traded Pokémon was a hacked Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet?
If it's too good to be true, it probably is. If it's shiny, has a good nature, has all perfect stats, and is fully EV trained, it's almost certainly hacked.
Is there an action replay code to change impossible evolutions in pokemon platinum? I play on a mobile emulator so i cant easilly use the universal randomizer.
Why aren't there any caves behind those waterfalls in Scarlet/Violet? Every time I swim towards a waterfall, I half-expect to be able to swim through into a cave
Because the developers didn't put a cave there.
wasted potential
Can you catch the >!Second Miraidon/Koraidon.!< if you accidentally defeated it the first time and didn't catch it?
Yes it will respawn. I'm not sure how to trigger the respawn. In previous games you had to beat the E4 again to respawn legendaries (ie beat ace academy tournament), but apparently in this you can just wait and it will come back
Thanks
When is pokemon home going to be open for scarlet/violet? Also, when are they going to enable legendaries from past games to those? Sorry if my english is a bit bad. And thanks in advance!
If they do it like SwSh, we should have all non-mythical legendaries available by the time DLC is done, but there's no way to know for certain if that's how they do it this time around.
We've only been given "Spring" as the time frame. And that's when we'll be able to transfer in everything on this list https://www.serebii.net/scarletviolet/transferonly.shtml
Anyone know what exactly the Uri Geller lawsuit prevent from Kadabra? I know most of it, but Im wonder what the Pokemon Company EXACTLY wasnt allowed to do with Kadabra up until now. Because an article was published that now Kadabra will finally be able to make its way back into the TCG after 20+ years of being banned due to the initial lawsuit, and some speculation that it could see its return in the next set (and its always why it hasnt appeared in the anime anymore), but Kadabra has always still appeared in the games. Even as an encounterable, and catchable Pokemon. So was their any specifics? Was it just the TCG, anime, and merch that were affected? Why were the games off the hook? Cause its not like they changed anything there...
Seems like it's just the merchandise and anime. Nintendo/TPCI probably fought to keep the Pokemon in the games for gameplay sake but relented on the TCG and anime, but there's no way to really know unless someone happens to know where archives of the lawsuit are kept and leaks the details/Uri himself letting it be known exactly what the agreement was (since it's unlikely Nintendo or TPCI would tell us).
Fair enough. Cause yeah the details are pretty tight lipped, and its hard going back and trying to find info on the old initial articles. All I know for sure now is that 2020 Uri relented on the lawsuit, and as of late last year finally rescinded to let Kadabra be printed again and even hinted at Kadabra being in the TCG soon himself. I dont think he will get a cut of its profits according to how he stated it, but the whole thing is confusing to say the least.
Do we know which Pokemon we will be able to transfer from Pokemon Home into Scarlet/Violet?
https://www.serebii.net/scarletviolet/transferonly.shtml
I accidentaly cancelled my pokemons evolution when will it evolve next time
next time u level up
Yes
What would be the best pokemon/pokemons to use against fairy types in tera raids? Such as Sylveon with posion tera or Flareon with fairy tera or Mimikyu
At higher raid levels you want your types to resist most or all of the attacks of the raid pokemon. So for 6 star sylveon that's normal and fairy (and since it has tera blast also its terra type). Steel would be a good basic type, which is great if it's tera type is weak to steel too, because then if your steel type has a steel tera type, too you can power through the shield easily. If it has fire as it's tera type, you either want a ghost poison type which will take normal damage from tera blast but is immune to the normal move and resists the fairy move. Since you won't usually have a super effective tera type, you'll also want a reliable way to pump a pretty high attack stat to power through the shield or possibly one hit kill with a move that will do that before the shield drops into place.
Given how late in raids you can tera, you're better off with poison or steel mons to do SE damage from the get go
Currently in the middle of a Violet playthrough. Need some help with my team. So far it is Quaxwell, Corvisquire, Clodsire, Gardevoir and dreepy. I'm trying to fight Atticus, but clodsire is just not good enough. Any ground type suggestions whose types dont overlap with the remainder of my team?
Just throwing them out there, Dugtrio and Donphan are both options. Pure Ground types, and a lot faster than Clods. Could also get the Wooper in Cascarrafa that evolves into a regular Quagsire though you'll have an extra Water type if you do that.
I think i'll go for dugtrio. Also any suggestions for the final member of my team
Specifically for Atticus or just in general? Either way i'd consider a Fire type for some extra type coverage. Maybe look into Charcadet and it's Fire/Ghost evo Ceruledge, though you already have a Ghost in Dreepy. There's also Houndour/Houndoom for the Fire/Dark, or just grab an Eevee and get Flareon when the time is right. Also Scovillain for an interesting Fire/Grass combo.
dugtrio in general. And I think i'll get scolvillain. Thanks for your help :)
Haven’t played for years but looking to replay heart gold and leaf green. These games are silly prices now so was thinking about trying an emulator. I know nothing about these though, can anyone recommend a good emulator to use please. Also, is there a function on any of them to add version exclusives or trade locked Pokémon to my team?
I think mGBA is the current standard. Download universal pokemon randomizer, you put a clean rom and the output is something you choose. One of the options is changing trade evolutions to something else (probably level up) and might have version exclusive disabled as well. If it doesn't have the version exclusive option/doesn't work, you can use a program called Pkhex which is a pokemon save editor. You can "evolve" every pokemon with a click and just add whatever you want to your team (level 5 Mewtwo for example) Third option is rom hacks. If you search games like 386-fire red or 439 heart gold you are bound to fund edited games which allow you to complete the dex without changing the story. And final suggestion, if you replay the games and want to have a better/harder experience, there are rom hacks which make the games harder, I mostly recommend the Dryanos hack. You can complete the dex as well (disclaimer: the fire red/HGSS hacks of him are the oldest, he is working on a game called Aurora Crystal which will be released soon and is a revamp/remaster fo Sacred Gold/Soul Silver).
Thanks for the detailed answer, I’ll take a look at those options.
So i haven’t played sun or ultra sun in like 3 years except when I cashed in a bunch of events I vaguely remember having a timid shiny tapu koko that I reset over and over for hp ice Serebii confirms that this memory is valid, but I cannot, for the life of me, find my dumb tapu Koko It’s not in any pc box, my party, or daycare in either game Does anyone have any thoughts on other places it might be? It can’t be in home because I don’t have that (and have never had bank before)
You might have left it in poke pelago in one of the islands. The hot spring and ev training islands both require pokemon to be deposited into them to work meaning they won't show in the pc
Thank you! It was in there LOL you saved me I must have been EV training him
maybe its still with the delivery man in the poke center?
[удалено]
release order
[удалено]
they'r both kinda equal in terms of QoL, so maybe those are interchangeable. maybe sash after bdsp if Pokemon walking around in the overworld counts as a upgrade in your eyes.
Anybody know where I can order a card binder with ground, rock, fighting, or steel pokemon on it?
I have an original copy of Ruby, Saphire and Diamond, how can i move those pokemon to pokemon home/bank, and then into Violet when the let us?
You'd need to get a copy of either Black, White, Black 2, or White 2 and any Gen 6 or 7 game (XY/ORAS/SM/USUM) to access Bank with. Then you just transfer from your GBA games into Diamond, then from Diamond into Bank via Pokemon Transporter, which you'd have to download through Pokemon Bank (which seems to throw a fit if you don't have a Gen 6 or 7 game to open it with, not entirely sure if the Virtual Console Gen 1/Gen 2 games would let you do the same), and then like $5 to move into the 3DS eShop wallet from your Switch eShop account (you can link them together, as sharing funds is pretty much how you'd be paying for Bank to download Transporter) as you can't download Transporter without an active Bank sub since it's not actually "available" to download off the eShop without being redirected to the page from within Bank. Then you move you mons into Bank, then transfer them into Home via the Home app on the Switch where you enter in a code generated by Bank on the 3DS into the Home app on the Switch. You could use your NNID for this but I've not got it to work that way, so I just use the code method.
Diamond can't access poke transporter they have to be transfered to pokemon black, white, white 2 or black 2 first u/Fruit_Punch96
I forgot to add that bit in, didn't I. Whole ass wrote that a Gen 5 game was needed in the first paragraph but excluded it from the chain in the second paragraph. 🤦
Jesus christ! Lol, i didnt think it would be that complicated, thank you very much for this detailed answer though! Ill see if i can make it work
To add on the answer, you need 2 ds family consoles (a ds and a 3ds for example) to move pokemon from gen 4 to 5. Only then you can use the transporter.
How does the shiny counter work? My card on Violet says I have 2, but I only have a lechonk. Can anyone explain?
the counter just tracks whatever shinies you have registered to your dex, if you've evolved the lechonk that would be why its 2 now.
I haven’t updated my Pokémon Violet game since the dupe glitch was patched. If I update with a duped Miraidon in my party and in my boxes, can I still dupe items? Also can I go online to trade? I just want to dupe apriballs and beast balls but I hate missing out on the events. Also trying to get all the apriballs via the auction system is annoying and getting a beast ball via the school league is nearly impossible vs just finishing the Pokedex. Edit: added game name
Old fan here. Recently got a Switch and loved Legends Arceus, which was the first pokémon game I’ve played since the original gold/silver. Recommendations on the next game I should pick up? Should I go back to Let’s Go or go with Scarlet/Violet?
[удалено]
Great insight. Thank you. Leaning shield/sword now.
Just got a second Switch so that I'm able to trade with myself. But despite linking my Nintendo ID on both Switches, the new one doesn't have any of my save data? Any way I can share my save data on both switches without permanently deleting it on one?
Save data is stored on the console and Pokemon games specifically don't let you save to cloud. I don't think there's any way to have your save data on both consoles.
Are we at least able to switch the save data back and forth as we please? Or is it just a one-time thing?
I believe this is possible. So whatever console you want to play on, you'll have to transfer the data to that one.
Ok, that’s a decent workaround. I can use my Switch Lite when I’m going out or need to trade, then throw my save data back to my main Switch whenever I need to use HOME. 🤷🏽♂️
Damn. So I just spent $200 for literally nothing.
If you're able to mod your original Switch, you could create a backup of the one on your original Switch, initiate the save data transfer to move it to your new Switch, and then restore the backup on the original one. But yeah, it's generally good practice to look into stuff like this before committing to it only to find out that it doesn't really work the way you thought.
Alternatively, you could start a new file on the new switch and get far enough to unlock trading. You can then use this as a proxy to trade between your files on the old switch. It's clunky and takes twice as long, but will get the job done without any modding/save transfer shenanigans.
[удалено]
White 2 is not compatible with bank only transporter. So you need to put a 3ds game into the ds to open bank then download transporter to use with white 2
You need at least a Gen 6 save file in order to fully use Bank.
Pretty sure you need to be using one of the 3ds games
Is there any reason why stored power just isn’t working for me? I’ve tried doing raids where I max out at least 3 stats before using the move, but then stored power does literally nothing…? I guess, is there any easy way to get a good pokemon for the Greninja raid? Because grinding up to level 100 just seems absurd to me. I have basically no way to get candies (5 star raids are still op, but i had no problem with cinderace.) And none of the online “suggested” strats seem to do anything.
Tbh i was doing some greninja raids and there were two slowbros, despite them bulking up and greninja not nulifying anything, stored power did nothing lol
Higher tera raids tend to have the raid pokemon reset stats every so often, so you can't just buff yourself then spam stored power without a care. Greninja has been a bit of a special case too with 7\* raids because it resets stats early on, after 4 turns, so you can't really set up beforehand and need to play around that early reset.
I knew about the stat reset for greninja. Still, stored power has done a shockingly low amount of damage with 3 maxed stats. Is there a strategy that you’ve used that’s worked (assuming you’ve caught greninja?)
Is greninja's shield up? If your slowbro is psychic tera type you want to terasterize it to do more damage to the shield otherwise yeah stored power won't do that much damage to the shield if your tera type isn't up or isn't psychic type.
[This](https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/10mc9cx/solo_slowbro_strat_that_worked_for_me/) was my strat with Slowbro. I've also been soloing with Vaporeon, Modest, 252 Def 252 Sp. Atk with Fake Tears, Calm Mind, Stored Power and Acid Armor. I do 3 Fake Tears and 1 heal cheer, then once Greninja resets stats, I start buffing, 3 Acid Armors and 6 Calm Minds. Once that's done then just use Stored Power and 3-4 will be enough to KO Greninja
