    Ok, but that link has nothing to do with what they are saying. They're not saying that 2 dlc versions exist so they can trick people into buying the wrong version.

    What they're saying is they made the dlc version specific so that somebody who bought both sword and shield would have to buy the dlc twice if they want to have access to it on both their games.

    Thats 100% why the dlc is set up like this. Nintendo/The Pokemon Company don't want people to buy the dlc once and access it on both versions of the game.

    Okay well it's real easy to make money I guess. There's a watt digger guy in the DLC who gave me 220k watts for free, which I then turned into 1000 luxury balls, which I then turned into 1.5 million bucks.

    So now I just need to catch a 5 star ditto by farming that one raid den and the joy of breeding my own team of super stars will begin.

    I got a *definitely legit!* 6IV shiny hidden ability foreign Ditto from a mystery trade on Pokemon Home. It sure has made breeding much easier.

    I wish the DLC added more Pokemon Boxes, as I am bumping up against the limit. I should just go and release a couple boxes of random junk I got through mystery trades. I was holding on to a lot of the random stuff for breeding but that one Ditto makes most of them unnecessary.

    I've lucked into the same situation and have also gotten a couple other shinies from mystery trade as well.

    Pretty sure none of them are legitimate, they all say "This Pokemon was first met at The Pokemon Den," and that phrasing is so awkward that it can't be real.

    I also got a 6IV shiny Zekrom this way and yeah, no way is it legit but it's nice looking, and with hyper training being a thing 6IVs are obtainable with little effort anyway so *shrug*

    So long as the 'Mon in question doesn't have impossible stats/moves/abilities etc I don't really care if it's legit or not. I will still breed and come about my stuff the legit way, but it's not that big of a deal.

    Where are you getting fraud from?

    I think you may have misunderstood my original post

    I said "I just realized it's so they can sell two DLCs to the people who bought both games"

    What I mean by that is that some people buy both versions. Both Sword and Shield. Gamefreak wants these people to also buy the DLC twice

    I was not implying that they're hoping some people will buy the wrong DLC

    oh, crap, my bad. I got it wrong and yeah, i'm sorry.

    I forgot to fix my clock when i started playing so all of my pokemon say they were met hundreds of years from now.

    I have several *totally seriously legit* (haha no they aren't) 6IV shiny dittos. I spend a lot of time on a stream that gives away all perfect shinies (and because I don't PvP I 100% don't care) so I have a lot of them.

    Anyway, if someone wants one of these *definitely legit!* dittos, I can provide.

    @akjak I got no problem using a hacked ditto to live in my nursery forever! I'd love one if you don't mind.

  • H0b0manH0b0man Registered User regular
    Uh ya if the offer is there I wouldn't mind one of them. The only 5 IV ditto I've managed to catch so far has HP as the missing IV which is kinda annoying.

    Hrm, I just got a 5 star and a 4 star ditto legit. Unlocked the iv checker and they've both got 4 max ivs, so I'll just breed them together until I spit out a perfect one I think. No hacked shiny required for me. Edit: wait it looks like I can't breed dittos to make more ditto! Well nevermind then.

    Edit2: okay let's say I just watched a bunch of videos and now I really want to get a legit 6 iv ditto because I'm weird. Any recommendations? I saw one suggestion of just playing through let's go pikachu and farming them there which is certainly an option.

    You can chain in this game too. Just go where they spawn and kill approximately 400 of them. They get "better" as you go.

    When I get a shiny in Surprise Trade I just immediately re-trade it. My one exception to my "don't re-trade" principle. I have no use for it, but it might make someone's day

    Though there's a trend lately of obviously hacked shinies on Surprise Trade that are named after websites. I assume these are websites where you can buy hacked mons. Those I immediately just release. Don't wanna give them free marketing by re-trading

    I may be behind the times here, but last I knew Ditto can’t breed with Ditto.

    Where?

    I want some big watts!

  • H0b0manH0b0man Registered User regular
    It's the digger pa. He's in the northern part of the island in the valley underneath the dark tower. The first time you meet him he'll dig up a bunch of watts for free, but after that it's 7 of the new ore you get from max raids.

    Usually you get around 20-25k in my experience, but sometimes he'll get a burst of energy and you'll wind up with like 150 or 200k. Helps a lot if you're trying to unlock the dojo upgrades by donating watts to Honey.

    Yea that's what I wanted Watts for.

    Once I saw how many I needed I just kinda gave up on the dojo.

    But if I can get a big bunch there it would make it feasible.

    Urshifu's stats also aren't obscenely good, so using him doesn't feel like using an OP legendary dude. His signature moves are damn good as well, perfect for breaking walls since they always crit, and the water form can destroy Substitutes as well.

    Anyone know how long the various G-max raids are boosted?

    It's cool that everyone gets a chance to catch the G-maxes, but it's a bit boring that they only reward experience candy and dynamax candy. I'd rather get armorite right now

    edit: Nvm, found a source. Boosted G-max event ends June 29th. Zeraora event ends the day before

    G max raids feel kinda useless right now since you can just give a pokemon max soup now and like you said they don't drop anything other than exp/dynamax candy.

    I've been intentionally avoiding fighting them once I realized they were the reason some raids weren't giving me TRs and armorite.

    I'm a big fan of Max Soup, it let me make my shiny Kingler G-max and that's just neat

    I tried it, but the screen doesn't register my taps in the right places. It needs some sort of calibration option.

    Have you done the system level screen calibration in settings?

    This is an outrage because ditto can just transform to have the right “parts” to make breeding work

    Maybe they can only get it in on in The Pokémon Den :winky:

    Yeah i feel absolutely nothing for Moba as a genre and even pokemon won't change that fact.

    Easy pass for me.

    I generally have no interest in MOBAs but Pokemon UNITE looks pretty fun. I assume that new playable Pokemon will be part/all of the in-app purchases.

    Do you mean in my phone's settings? Every other app works perfectly, I don't think it's my phone.

    If you mean in Pokemon's settings, how do I do that?
