So what do you suggest?

I was in the Zone 3 to get a shiny Espurr for my team, I’m still early game (rank W) but since I love Meowstic i wanted a shiny in my team, AFK’ed for like 3 hours, got EVERY Pokémon of that zone except Espurr.

The moment I was going to abandon this lion spawned, I was so surprised, since I have like 60h on Pokémon Arceus and I never found a Shalpha before😭

The red and blue overalls with the red hat look is in! At least according to a portly plumber in another gaming franchise. Lol

Anyway, I was wondering if there there was a hat or hair combo that would get me a look similar to our friend in the blue shirt and purple vest here. I think those are the Johto colors on his head? I'm not as familiar with the Pokémon series as I am with the Mario series.

I don't have the dlc if that matters.

Discussion Estou na procura de tentar fecha minha Pokedex brilhante 🌟 mas está difícil.

1 Upvotes

De preferência quero conseguir todos os que puder por conta propria na forma brilhante 🌟 pois é mais gratificante isso.

Mas meu doces que entram nas áreas duram 5 ou 8 min apenas e as vezes ou eu foco nos pokémons ou nos itens pois o tempo não dá pra fazer os 2.

Então queria saber se alguém pegou as manhas e poderia me instruir a conseguir doces que me permitam ficar mais tempo.

Discussion I have a couple questions 😋

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, so I bought Z-A when it first came out and honestly I didn’t really like it. So I stopped playing, but 3 days ago I picked it back up and I’ve been playing on and off for about 2 days now.

I caught 23 entries of the Dex in the game and then I wondered how much of the Dex I could compete from the mons I have in home.

So I filled 9 boxes in the game and it took my dex from 23 entries to 143 which isn’t even all the pokemon I own in home so maybe I can complete the dex right off the bat since I only need 89 entries for the Lumiose dex

Unfortunately I didn’t read what the ? Meant so now some of my legendaries / shines are stuck in that game sigh 😞 that’ll teach me to read it carefully but anyways here’s my questions:

  1. Is there gym battles in this game? Or are the wild zones / Z-A challenge thing it?

  2. What’s the Hyper Dex? (I have it on this app I use to track the dexs)

  3. Can you breed in Z-A? If yes where do I go to do that?

Honestly I’m having a lot of fun with this game now that I’ve actually took the time to learn how to use it

Discussion What is the best build for a screen-setting Fan Rotom?

0 Upvotes

Its main purpose is to keep me alive for the first half-ish of a ranked battle (maybe sniping a few kills here and there) then switched in for my main attacker with the screens remaining (I have used Umbreon and Porygon2 so far and made decent progress for Consummate Gamer; I wanted to see how Fan Rotom does in comparison).

Here is what I am thinking, I'm mainly asking for tips on the best nature (bold or calm) and how I should distribute its IV's (should I invest more in physical or special defense, things like that), or if I should also consider investing in special attack:

Fan Rotom holding Light Clay

  • Reflect
  • Light Screen
  • Parabolic Charge
  • Charge/Nasty Plot (which is better here?)

Other than the screen moves, Parabolic Charge is a must because it's the only healing move Rotom has access to (Umbreon has Moonlight and Porygon2 has Recover). Would charge or nasty plot be better for this moveset?

It feels so bad to have a type overlap in a team because like I already have that type on another pokemon I need someone to tell me why using pokemon that have overlapping types is good because I want to use a pokemon, but then it has the same typing as this other pokemon I have

The challenge is to catch my favorite Pokémon from each area as a Shiny without the Shiny Charm. Here’s where you benefit: any Shiny Pokémon I catch in that area that *isn't* my target will be given away to someone who comments (limit one per person). Also, to get the specific Pokémon you want (in the Poké Ball of your choice, excluding the Beast Ball), you can suggest nicknames for the Pokémon I’ll be hunting for myself.

Target for this hunt:

Shiny Drampa

Will keep it short and sweet: I need to evolve my 4 size variations of Pumpkaboo and need someone willing to do the 4 touch trades with me. I have some random extra shinies (pictured) and would be happy to give you one on the last trade for your troubles.

BONUS: I also need a couple touch trades for Huntail and Gorebyss in BDSP if you’re willing to do that as well. I have a Shiny Feebas waiting in my BD copy for anyone willing to complete.

Thanks in advance!
