    Its the Galarian Meowth/Perrserker. Their HA is 'The power of Steel-type moves used by a Pokémon with Steely Spirit and its allies is increased by 50%.' so you stack 3 or 4 of them on a team. 3 people use attack cheer, one person uses screech to lower defense, then 2nd round everyone uses a high damage steel attack and you oneshot 5-6 star raids.

    I keep forgetting to mention this but yeah, don't sleep on your pokedex evaluations, guys. Not the ones Jaques asks for but the one you find in the pokedex itself.

    You get something for like every ten entries like specialty balls and evo stones. Its nice.

    Man swapping in a low level mon should be an insta ban for online raids.

    Id be willing to do tradebacks for mons I have. I should have all the paradox and I think all the other scarlet exculsives I will check. I know I got my charcadet one heh.

    Hey Folks, we bred some copies of the meta regional steel pokemon that needs hidden ability to really shine. They all have the HA and mostly max IVs. (Next round will have perfect IVs but have a box full of non-max) so if anyone needs one to prepare for higher end raids hit me up and i'll be happy to trade you one.

    I'd like one. I think we might already be switch friends?

    Those quick balls didn't last though. Quick ball, as ever, has like 80-90% success or better on most wild pokemon, so I just started firing them all off on everything I saw for more entries.

    Quick Balls are basically cheating.

    Gamefreak probably should but thank god they've never nerfed them. They're glorious, I always keep a hundred minimum on me when they become available for purchase.

    Quick balls and Repeat balls once you fill out the Dex

  • CorriganXCorriganX Jacksonville, FLRegistered User regular
    If I throw a quick ball and it fails I start to seriously consider if I even want to actually catch the pokemon and sometimes just leave. Although now you can run away and re-engage to get another quick ball chance if you want.

    I was trying to catch one of the new legendaries and was using dusk balls but it changed to day in the game so I caught a legendary in a Timer ball and I'm trying to figure out if I'm okay with that or I need to start the game over to fix it

    Is there seriously not even a hall of fame in this game? Not even trainer card stars?

    GF really overdid it doing PLA and SV at the same time.

    Damn, multi-hit moves don't actually do anything for Bellibolt's signature ability (it still triggers each time, but the charges don't stack)

    Guess my tera ground Maushold population bomb + Bellibolt Discharge dreams are dead before they even got started.

    So here's something neat.

    We have 8 Gym leaders and 5 Star bosses. Each one uses a different type, with no overlap between Gyms and Star. With 8 leaders, 5 Star bosses, and the Elite 4, that's 17 types being represented in the game's main story. Which is just slightly annoying, because there are 18 Pokemon types, which leaves just one out. But there's something you can find out by doing enough classes and social link stuff at school.
    The math teacher, Tyme (who is the Ghost leader Ryme's sister) used to be a Gym leader. And she used Rock types, which is the one type not represented in the current crop of officials and Star bosses. So the game managed to sneak in that last type, on a character who at the very least used to be a Gym Leader

    Now that I've seen the credits here are my minor quibbles with this game:

    1. If I am not allowed to set up a picnic while riding koraidon then just make me auto dismount. You do it for trainer battles Why must you be so difficult?

    2. Why can't revives be included in auto heal? Also if you only have max potions and full restores auto heal refuses to work.

    3. Why when I am taking a selfie am I holding the phone? You have already established that the damn phones float on their own is my character just incompetent with technology?

    4. No pumpkaboo in the autumn zone wounds me specifically. Bramblin can die in a fire if not for already being a ghost.

    the titans have the same typing as the e4 + rock (nominally) so all 18 types are represented on the map

    Oh good point.

    That also means by the end you’ll have 18 badges; one for each type. Chew on that, Gary Oak.

    If you eat an Encounter Power Fire (Scarlet) or Water (Violet) sandwich, and go to a place that has large herds of Tauros, you should be able to find one relatively quick.

    Something I've learned is that when I'm having particular trouble finding a certain pokemon, the answer is usually sandwiches. For example, I spent about an hour searching fruitlessly for a Tandemaus, but eating a Tofu sandwich for Encounter Power Normal had me tripping over at least 3 of the guys.

    Oh my fucking god

    I spent the past two days grinding normal terra raids for the 50 shards I need to swap my Dragonite to tera normal type (extreme speed goes brrrrrrrrrr). Finally get it done, then go to the eatery place where you actually swap types...

    and they give you 50 normal shards for free

    Magnemogal are formed when magnemite attach themselves to the most popular magnemite in the area. The one on top absorbs the magnetic power of those below them to affect increasing numbers of magnemite.

    What the heck is this? What is the point of running Meowths? Not even Persian?

    What, is everyone trying to spam Pay Day to get extra money? There's better ways to do that, but that's the only thing I can think of for running Meowth.
    Heck, if you want money, they could make a team of Goldengho instead

  • EnlongEnlong Registered User regular
    Looking at their signature moves and hidden abilities, I'm really happy with what they've done with the starter pokemon this gen. Each one has a useful set of tricks that makes them fun to use even outside of the main story, it seems.
    Meowscarada gets an auto-hit, auto-crit grass move that can blow past defensive stat boosts, and it gets Protean. Protean got nerfed, but being able to get STAB on any type, even one time, is pretty sweet.

    Skeledirge gets a power-crept version of Fiery Dance (in that it always boosts special attack), meaning it can snowball up a huge special attack stat, in a manner reminiscent of what Mega-Kangaskhan did with ATK. And it gets Unaware as an ability, which again lets it blow past defensive stat boosts.

    Quaquavael gets a speed-boosting signature attack, and it gets Moxie, meaning it can snowball huge Speed and ATK boosts if it keeps KOing stuff. Which is very generically good.

    It's nice when the starters get a lot of love and are useful in battle.

    I ended up playing a ton over the weekend. I am now mostly done with the three "main quests" - I just need to do the Elite 4 for the gym path. I was actually super impressed with how sweet the storylines of the other two paths were. After the mess that was Galar it was kind of a relief to have a Pokemon game with a non-shit story! (well, relatively speaking)

    Performance continues to be garbage trash (and at one point even the MENUS were lagging terribly - I was so worried the game was gonna crash.. like, I'd catch a new Pokemon and the "putting it in the Pokedex" animation was in slow motion.. it was BAD. This is right after a restart of the game btw - been shutting it down and loading fresh each time cuz I know of the memory leak).

    You know, been thinking about these issues too. It's a real, real shame because I think I actually really like this game. If you ignore the gross state it was released in, the gameplay is fun, I like the story and characters, I like a lot of the new Pokemon (I have even come around on Quaxly's final evo seeing it in motion). I even noticed it doesn't seem like they've done the "Pokemon thing" where there's like five stock NPCs and they just reuse them everywhere. People actually seem to have unique appearances (I'm assuming they leveraged the player customization system for hairstyles and the like which is something they should have been doing for awhile now). There's some genuine effort put in almost everywhere *but* the technical aspects of the game :/ (also shops, I don't like the menu shops). There's still things I don't like, like how you can't customize your shirt and pants or the lack of sparkle/sound for shinies (whyyyyyy??????!?!?!) but overall it's a fun game. When it's not running like dogshit... *sigh*

    I don't understand why they didn't get Monolith to help. Like, look at any Xenoblade game on Switch and compare it to Pokemon, a game that looks way worse and also runs like trash. Hell, look at Breath of the Wild, a game Monolith assisted on. Monolith are like THE "giant open world on Switch" pros. Baffles me.

    Random side note, fuck that Math class. Why is literally every question a trick question? This feels like one of those stupidly accurate depictions of the kind of teacher that likes to fuck over their students with bullshit quiz questions. God forbid I answer your dumb math question like a MATH question and not take into account the fucking free Premier Ball (YOU ARE TEACHING BAD MATH! 2000/200 does not equal 11!!!!), and then on the test you fucking turn it around and say GREAT BALL to fuck with people again. Arggg... I have feelings about this course. Then I did Languages and it was like Festival Plaza 2.0 easy sauce :P

    Its Perrserkers that use setup to "one shot". It is like the Iron Hands belly drum build or the Goldengho Iron Beam setup build. You Taunt, Screech, Cheer then all Iron Head together as Perrserker.

    Some people are gate keeping and unless you show Perrserker they swap in a low level (if not lead) or cancel raid if they are lead. Ive run into it a couple of times myself. Taking the Iron Hands or Goldengho into groups can cause problems as the setup is more. Belly Drum you lose hp and so if people start destroying the mob it will null stats. Gholengo you want to nasty plot 2-3x (2 for 5*) and Metal Sound 2-3x and the mob will null stat changes on itself early and on the group at 1/3 or so hp so can lose all your setup easy.
