Just 1 day remaining until Pokémon Sword & Shield launch!
(depending on your time zone!)
The Path to Sword & Shield begins to draw to a close… The day is almost upon us… Countless trainers are almost ready to start their next Pokémon adventure and uncover the secrets, wonders and joys the Galar region has to offer!
We hope all of our readers are as excited as we are to get our hands on the game, just one more day until Christmas comes early this year! We’re back with a JungleASKS just in time for the games releasing and our question for you this time is:
What are you most excited for on your adventure in the Galar region?
Maybe you can’t wait to discover some of the new Pokémon found in Galar? Perhaps you’re filled to the brim with excitement about taking on the Galar League? Or are you just excited to cook hundreds of delicious curries for you and your Pokémon?
Please let us know down in the comments below, or follow us on Twitter and use #JungleASKS to tweet us. If you’re more of a chatter, you can join our Discord channel and tell us there!
Please remember to respect that some people choose not be spoiled on these games! Be respectful in our comments and understand that opinions are just that: opinions. See you all tomorrow for The Path to Sword & Shield launch day special!
Don’t forget that the discussion continues in our Discord server as well!
I’m most excited to meet all the new Pokémon I’ve not seen yet! Have mostly remained spoiler free and I’m so proud of myself for it! Can’t wait to go on a journey with sobble tomorrow and to of course catch an Impidimp! Galar here I come!
Currently hard resetting to get à good ID number(because my OCD demand so) in sword and it takes up to 10minutes to discover it. It’s sun and moon all over again 🙁
Good luck! Hope you get one soon!
Also want to add a thank you to the mods about the no spoilers thing! Don’t want to have to leave the site!
The final Countdown for Sword & Shield has Begin!
Bede is secretly the Queen of Galar and uses Yampers as spies for the true evil team, Team Hush. They want to ban Pokemon battles so they can have quiet high tea again.
Team Yell are secretly good guys working for Marnie who prefer coffee, and as such don’t want tea to become deadly important to Galar again.
Polteageist is actually the Cosmog to the secret fourth legendary, Earlgreytest. Sound/Cosmic-type.
You had me until sound/cosmic

All I want to do is get my Jolladamt Grookey and make sure the very first pokeball I throw is at a Steam Engine Rolycoly
Then catch anything that moves
Is Impidimp version exclusive because that changes things.
Got my Good ID Number (875094, wish it started by 9 but it’s still a good one), now looking for a good nature Grookey ^^! Then I might try and see what pokeballs are available to get my Rookiedie and go get him at the Woods and give myself a make over. Then i’ll call it a day.

Hmmm…. The Indeedee forms are version exclusives… Male in Sword and Female in Shield…
really?
Off topic: For those who are characters in my comic book, have you all received you own character portrait gift? If not, let me know because I’m going to work on the comic book and do some designs for @fairyforgetful:disqus ‘s story
Coalossal
Gigantamax Raid Battle is only natively in Sword, but can be shared through playing with others
Even though I don’t like Eiscue or whatever it’s called Id rather have that than Stonehenge guy that looks like Art from Monsters University
So my plan hit a major snag
I went to Gamestop to scope out the competition and asked about the midnight release
at 6pm they will take your pre-order and give you a pre-screening ticket for your placement in the evening and I have a doctor’s appointment at 6:15 and I very much need to verify my place asap
I NEED SOLUTIONS PEOPLES
Do we still not know The typing for the Stonehenge pokemon who’s name escapes me right now?
Hey @discus: disqus_lHiKak0a4O

Need any more MBs on that image?
Serebii’s list of version exclusives
https://www.serebii.net/swordshield/exclusives.shtml
Surprising ones we didn’t get confirmed before are Scraggy/Croagunk, Gmax Machamp/Gengar, Gmax Coalossal/Lapras
Do ZZ have signature moves?
Behemoth Blade/Bash
They’re the exact same. 100 Base Power Steel moves that deal double damage to Dynamaxed Pokemon.
Alcremie evos
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/402a244dd4440465e317c5fbf3bf89a09647a8f4aa735bb24be45fa326b48561.jpg
You gotta learn MK11 combos to evolve Alcremie.
So Vikabolt now evolves with a thunder stone. I guess this means no more Location based evolutions…. which I actually kinda like. Now if only we could get rid of Trade evolutions.
Altho, they don’t seem to have done away with them entirely as Yamask has a really weird location based and damage received requirement for it’s evolution.
My throat is on fire and I have such a bad headache. And my nose is all runny! If I’m not better tonight I’m staying home sick tomorrow and playing Shield in bed all day
I don’t like the “Not Usable Moves”. This ones are gone forever? Or can be back in the future? Both situations are very bad!!!
Gone forever: We lost some iconics moves…
Can be back: We will risk delete some good ones from a legacy pokemon…
I’m concerned about how buffed mons this gen will interact with the ones who weren’t buffed.
I’m sure those moves will come back at some point but… How will they go about buffs in the future?
Is anybody choosing Sobble willing to breed one for me? I know you can trade about an hour in, I don’t know what I could do give in return, but I’d be willing to take requests (preferably for something that can be gotten early in the game)
I was reading Impidimp’s dex entry and ive gotta say I’m a little happy i kinda guessed what it’s whole thing is about. 😌 ( just ignore the bit about Eternatus that was said in jest) 🛑DEX ENTRY SPOILER🛑https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f91d5ee06ba68b8a0ffb24a079fb92054b1f15f2ad5c5820c0427d822c7f89cc.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/bc53032bfee189b26f54bc5d099ce3176e422c0fd6db3e512112f35ce5dc2dc9.jpg
i totally called this dex entry
The troll Pokemon.
Preorder Group NUMBAH ONE BABY!
I just gotta be there by 11:45 and i’ll be right on outta there
Also my cholesterol is medically alarming, my bone marrow is razor thin and i have several parasites slowly eating away my sternum. Clean Bill of Health Y’ALL (Obviously i’m kidding i actually lost like 6 pounds)
Lifes way of saying hey man we got this for ya
My package with the double pack, Incineroar and Simon amiibo has shipped! Tomorrow will be so great. It’s only just hit me how long it’s been since we’ve had a brand new Pokémon adventure. I also printed out a full National Pokédex list so I can make progress on my Living Dex while physically crossing out names. It’s going to be a busy couple of months but I’m more than ready!
Come on…. be midnight already!
…heck at this point I’ll just be happy for 11:30 so I can leave work…

Guys! I wonder, am I gonna be able to play at 12 am? Here its 10:49 pm?
ONE HOUR REMAINS
I’m sitting in first in line at my GameStop with my preorder prescreening slip and I must endure a long 45 minute wait and then I’ll be playing Sword and Shield
I plan on playing a short while mainly until I get a Jolly Grookey but after that and maybe a lil while I’ll stop and go to sleep
I’m going to repost my friend code, just in case!

Did anyone got dreepy already ?
The final mon I’m reviewing before SwSh comes out; Copperajah!
It is… elephant
Copperajah
Type: Steel
Abilities: Sheer Force/ Heavy Metal (Hidden Ability- this is trash)
Base Stats
HP: 122
Attack: 139
Defense: 69
Special Attack: 80
Special Defense: 69
Speed: 30
Another Pokemon to add to the “hits like a truck” and “Slow as fucc” piles! This time it’s mono steel!!!!
In a generation where a Pokemon that not only falls into BOTH these exact categories but also has the same type exists!
THIS IS LITERALLY SCUFFED MELMETAL WHAT THE F-
Pros!
+ Look at that attack stat! Look at that speed! This hits like a metal Darmanitan!
+ Gets way more coverage than it would initially appear to. Notable weird ones include power whip, play rough, and heat crash, the latter of these is nice for hitting certain mons
+ That HP, even in spite of its lackluster defenses is enough to make it hard to take down.
+ Mono Steel is not a bad type by any means. Lots of resistances, immunity to toxic, nice stuff.
+ The gigantamax form can set up spikes, and it can put up rocks too. It’s a hazard setter that can hit hard
Cons
– That speed? Abysmal. Literally trash. If not on a trick room team it’s gonna be a mon that struggles to do much.
– Its less-than-stellar defenses combined with its lack of recovery means its going to be getting worn down pretty fast. Thankfully Toxic can’t hit it, but Will-O-Wisp will do a number to it.
– As great as sheer force is offensively, it would likely do better with something that helped its defenses
– debuted in a generation full of other (and honestly better) steel types, with a few exceptions
I would have preferred if it were Steel/Fire and based more on a forge. It basically looks like one to me anyway. G-Max one needs more cowbell.
Hey guys! I’m new to the jungle, but saw that you were dropping friend codes and here is mine:
SW-4627-3355-1022 Thank you in advance and a great journey in Galar to you all!
Figured i’d throw out my FC as well for people SW-3455-8949-3484. Happy to help anyone I can tomorrow, though mine journey’s starts a bit delayed for personal reasons.
Never really looked into this before. What is the difference between TMs and TRs?

East coast or pacific, you guys will be able to play at midnight!! So get ready, about 15 more minutes to go
I cant play qhyyy
Never mind I can LETS GOOOOO
Is anyone having issues with their digital copy?
NVM LETS GO
Serebii already finished the post-game https://twitter.com/JoeMerrick/status/1195207390658007040
So how can put my code for the quickballs?
Am I the only one who find stumble sound annoying ahahaha
Its extremely annoying!
So after rethinking it, I restarted the game because the ID number wasn’t suiting me. Anyway, after restarting until this very morning, the last try before leaving for work was the good one (925387). Only took almost 8hrs and no sleep haha .. You may think I’m crazy but at least my OCD is now please and I’ll get to hunt for my Jolly/Adamant Grookey once back home from work. I’m an happy bee.
I know lots of you are very busy starting your adventures in Galar, but I wanted to say that my Living Dex is already off to the races! It’s going to be a long process but the younger me thought way ahead to make this more streamlined. Turns out I’d prepared all the fully evolved starters from Gens 1-6 way back in 2013 and the last few legendaries I was missing. I also have the majority of the trade evolutions all ready to go so now there are just a few I’ll need help with (including Galarian forms). I’ll also need to make room for various other forms, although there’s no way I can get them all even if I wanted to. This’ll be exhausting and potentially nerve-wracking but I’m deadset on moving my entire Living Dex to Home around the time it launches. Then I can add the Galar Pokemon onto the end like Lego bricks! To me, this will mark a certain conclusion to a phase of my Pokemon journey where I can look at that collection and know where my dedication has taken me.
Due to shipping.. not getting my game until the 20th!
Anyways, they Really screwed Togetic over.
No more roost, defog, and nothing worth while new to replace them. I can no longer justify using him. .. Sorry buddy, but I think Cinerace is my new favorite and partner!😢
Team:
Cinderace♀️ /Corviknight/Obstagoon

I need Grookey…
https://twitter.com/Luxeno/status/1195229512138657792
Umm…I’m not willing to risk this. Maybe I’ll wait to play the game until they release a patch.
I was absorbed with my Galar Journey I forgot to regal y’alls with the fact that I WAS THE FIRST PERSON AT GAMESTOP TO GET THEIR COPIES
First to get it and first to leave
I SRed until I got an Adamant Grookey
I found my Rash Rolycoly right off the bat in the Premier Ball
And tomorrow morning I will continue farming Chewtle until Strong Jaw and a decent nature
My Zigzagoon is strictly Dusk Ball so I gotta wait
I am full of pita chips and sprite and I need sleep goodnight
Well guys Today is Here, We need epic music on the Open Day on The Path to Sword & Shield!
Yaaaay lets go!!!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/091c3ee4c62d4b1bf4f374e281c97bd1b45a9c74ca14f1f6f028c2964b168647.jpg
Uff – I am loving it so far – so glad I didn’t let the downers get me down 😀 Anyone else got some first impressions? 🙂
I LOVE IT OMG
OK now to elaborate upon that:
I went it with the idea of a set team like in past games but I threw it out of the window the moment I saw the eXP share mechanics. I’ve instead gone with a more catch what I want and keep swapping out approach, which honestly is amazing, although might take a while for veteran players to wrap their heads around. I love that I get to use more than six Pokémon and not feel like bad about it.
The max raid battles are THRILLING
theyre honestly quite difficult if you haven’t trained TOO much (which I suggest you don’t do, as there will be plenty of opportunities for experience by the natural course of the game)
For people who say the overall difficulty is too easy need to understand that the game is literally screaming at you that it’s time to change up your play style. All the QoL changes means that you literally have no reason to grind for eXP and level and if you do and end up being over leveled and finding the gym battles too easy, then I’m afraid that’s on you.
Camera controls are nice in the wild area but i can’t see a reason why not all over (if someone knows please illuminate me why)
Overall much better than I expected even after seeing all the leaks and multiple streams which just goes to show that you’ll only know how you truly feel about the games (subjectively speaking, as a veteran) until you play them yourselves.
I’m not saying I’m still not miffed about a few things, but they’ve greatly paled in comparison to everything I love about the games. I’m truly having a blast and I think at the end of the day that’s what matters!
You call it idiotic, I call it dispensible student income

What’s a good nature for sobble? I might sr to get a good one when i start my game after work.
Wow, they’re really bombarding Metacritic…. just sad
Predictable tbh. They already did it for Little Town Hero.
Are all Skwovet/Greedunt on crack? One nearly swept the streamer leaker and one just busted out three of my Poké Balls
And this Zigzagoon has busted out of like five Poké Balls wtf
Guys, could anyone give me a female Toxel? I would even give it back after I got my own. I just managed to take the only neutral one that doesn’t evolve into Amped and only realized 30 minutes later. I obviously don’t have a Ditto yet but I really want to use it against Nessa. If anyone could help me out, I’d be incredibly grateful.
Well today’s the day! In a few hours I’ll be starting my adventure with sobble! So excited! First things first going to doctor to hopefully get the crap I’ve had going on under control! Then hopefully by 11 am I’ll have shield!
Hope you get better
Ive had to use 12 poke balls for a freakin Oddish lmao why are the catch rates in these games so busted?
So apparently the method to evolve G-Farfetch’d is not to get 3 KOs in one battle but rather get 3 Crits in one battle. Good thing the Leek exists.
I have decided on my sobbles nickname when I finally get to start! Will be naming it Newt after Newt Scamander! Thank you Cosimo for the idea!
Your welcome! I added you as a friend. Did you accept? It’s Jeff
I’m still exploring the Wild Area near Motostoke, my team so far;
Scorbunny lv14
Rookiedee lv13
Yamper lv13
I have Nickit and Dottler too but they’re not really part of my team i only keep them until they’re evolved for the dex
Anyone want to battle? In the wild area, highest level is like 13
I’m going to have to wait till Pokemon Sword ships today… probably early afternoon… why is the wait so horrible!?! ☹☹☹
G.Gengar dex entry:
Sword:Rumor has it that its gigantic mouth leads not into its body, filled with cursed energy, but instead directly to the afterlife.
Shield:It lays traps, hoping to steal the lives of those it catches. If you stand in front of its mouth, you’ll hear your loved ones’ voices calling out to you.
Need sleep body won’t comply….
I haven’t gotten my games yet since I wont be able to pick them up in the afternoon but I wanna do raids with you guys when I can!
Sooooo, what do people think so far?
Team so far! I’m loving the game but feel rushed due to travelling home today so can’t enjoy it to the fullest. Intro is less of a slog than SM imo.
Oops, here’s the image

Roger is named for Roger Meddows Taylor, the drummer for Queen. Also his middle name fits the Grass-type.
Dean is named for Dean Ween, the stage name of one of half of Rock band ‘Ween’. You guys probably recognise them from singing Ocean Man.
Paranoid is named after the Black Sabbath song, but I might rename him to follow the band member theme or expand to a general music theme as he’s been a good teammate so far!
Mr. Cheeks was a total joke capture but he surprisingly carries his own weight? Skwovet and Greedunt are probably some of the better rodents stat wise, and now that I’ve started to invest in him I’ve dropped Gene the Zigzagoon at the moment. Just got him Seed Bomb so I don’t see him going away anytime soon.
Iron Man I barely use he’s just been in the party for so long he’s levelled up a lot. I don’t think I’ll use him tbh, Corvi is overrated.
Rollanda is filler.
Guys my FC: 6255-8607-3797
What’s everyone’s uniform number and why? I’m curious
905 – wedding day and day a dear one departed – Yours?
Oooo maybe I’l copy you and have my number be 123, which is my wedding date
Mine will be 126 cause that’s my birthday
317 cause I only like odd numbers and 3 and 7 are my fave numbers
420 because I am immature and choosing Grookey.
I don’t have it yet but when I get I’ll let you know
464
815
Cinderace dex number
So the data corruption glitch only happens on hacked Switches with exFat SD cards.
For those already playing, do you suggest auto save be turned on or off?
2 hours to go!!! Give me your strength!
Can’t pick up my game until 1pm, that’s 3 hours from now.
Anyone findthe child in Motostoke’s missing Minccino? cant seem to figure out where it could be.
Dang guess I’m not the only one unable to figure it out.
The best thing to come out of Galar

Anyone got any name ideas for Orbeetle or Greedunt? Right now they’re Paranoid the Dottler and Mr. Cheeks the Skwovet, but they’re growing on me a ton and they’ll be part of the team for at least a while longer.
Theme is rock and metal musicians. Roger the Grookey after Roger Meddows Taylor (Queen drummer) and Dean the Chewtle (Dean Ween, part of Ween). Thinking about renaming Paranoid after a member of Black Sabbath (it is their song after all) but very unsure on Mr. Cheeks.

So I’m currently at school with a dead switch, and i have work tonight so I will most likely not be able to play until tomorrow 🙁 currently my team is:
Scorbunny (Dele) // Lvl. 11
Rookidie (Raf) // Lvl 11
Chewtle (Buckingham) // Lvl 9
I’ve only just completed the‘opening ceremony’ of the gym challenge so there a while to go before my team starts to build or change. But my final team is planned to be
Cinderance (Dele)
(G-)Corviknight (Raf)
(G-)Dreadnaw (Buckingham)
Eldegoss (???)
(G-)Grimmsnarl (???)
Amped-Up Toxtricity (???)
I understand that G-Max forms can only be caught through Max-Raids so ima have to wait and possibly replace my Pokemon 🙁 but it’s whatever, and of course my nicknames are all UK themed so that’s why they might look weird (Dele Alli is a soccer/football player in the UK that my dad likes, ‘Raf’ stands for Royal Air Force, Chewtle has buck teeth so Buckingham is a pun) but I like them. I haven’t come up with names for the others but will most likely once I catch them.
Really enjoying the game so far! Its a lot of fun, and I’m not even that far in. And I LOOOOOOOOOVE that you can hit the boutique the first town in!
So, for people who didn’t use le funny secks number or weedlmao for their trainer number, what did you choose and why?
I went for 026, Raichu’s Dex number.
Mine will be either 123 (wedding date) or 317 (fave numbers) or 329 (birthdate)
I just used a random number generator. I want my number to be special because I (my player) made the number special by achieving great things (my guess is completing the Gym Challenge and defeating Leon if the story doesn’t take a left turn like BW).
Got my game! Currently trying to get either a hasty naive or timid sobble! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a8568c981794595822710490a18086821d0d55a12c1d79da877383dc08bb0e03.jpg
Cool, there’s someone who has all three starters in the wild area
Hey zess, I don’t think I’m gonna be needing that Sobble, sorry for any confusion
God I hate the way Leon runs around like a douchebag
WHY IS GOSSIFLEUR SO SLOW
it has no legs
Trying to connect with friends in this game is awful
Absolutely
Me and Val spent 30 minutes trying and failing until we got it to work at random
I havent even face the first gym and my Scorbunny is evolved and level 23 lol
Watching the shipment tracking for my Sword and Shield… I wish you could like pinpoint exactly where it was and follow the truck as it goes until your package is delivered
That’s the worst… hope it comes soon!!
Me wasting two hours straight catching shiny snorunt
Just got my first badge
Carrot the Raboot (Lv. 21)
Mash the Corvisquire (Lv. 21)
So it takes a long time to get to the first gym. It took me 5 hours just to get to this point. The gym leader’s level also reflects this as it is our highest level first gym leader in the main series so far. So far the game hasn’t been grindy, of course there have been moments where I nearly loss a battle because either my Pokémon were a tad underleveled or due to type disadvantages. So far this playthrough has been a good experience for me.
Anybody hear if mew from pokeball plus can be shiny?
Any Pokemon surprised you guys so far?
I’m not even at Gym 1 and Skwovet is absolute nuts. I used it in a link battle with a friend, Stockpile + Sitrus Berry/Cheek Pouch shenans are fun
Can I change my uniform for the gym challenges? I bought a different one but I dont see how to change into it.
I’ve seen the counter to the left, but maybe try the changing room to the right that you automatically go into to change into your gym uniform
Yeah I cant interact with the changing room in the gyms. I can change into it in a boutique, but that also changes my normal outfit to the uniform. Maybe you have to wear the default uniform for gym challenges?
Apparently the gym uniforms you buy aren’t wearable in gyms, they’re just clothing 😂😂
I don’t feel well, might start tomorrow, but it’s here.

Wait…does the item Leek only work for Farfetch’d and not it’s evolution?
Dang so you can get Arrokuda on route 2?
My dual pack was just delivered!! I can actually start it now before I go to work!!
Sizzlipede can be found as a tall grass encounter inthe first half of Route 3
My brain is sersiosulg mush rigt now
my total game time is 7+ hourss
Got my Cufant and taught it Zen Headbut
EXP CANDY IS EVIL iz too much iz too much and robs the esperience
I need tio like take a break……maybe walk to the pizzaria pray that i don’t pass out on the robe, why can’t i sleeep?!
Wow, an early trainer with three Pokemon that isn’t a gimmick class. Almost feels like BW
You mean the 6 Magikarp dude.
It’s like the didn’t even try to make Hop’s animations different from Hau’s
Did anyone got lost on the wild area? I tried to see if snom was there but no luck. I also caught a dynamax croagunk, magikarp and ghastly and also almost died fight level 30 duskulls thinking they were level 12-15
My friend code: SW-8136-3643-1809 feel free to add me 🙂
I swear, the one f#@*ing day I’m waiting on a package, the mail is running late. AFTER having been coming an hour early the last month and a half
And right after I post, the mail comes 😂😂😂
Something I like so far is that the game is less subtle about throwing advantageous Mons in your face. Route 4 has tons of Electric Mons, but Nessa isn’t until after Route 5.
I had literally no trouibles with the jims so far, the only problem was that one Hop fight when he had 3 mons and i only had my Branch Monkey
As a bug pokemon enthusiast, Blipbug has to be the ugliest bug pokemon..it just doesn’t do it for me

Off Topic: For those who are interested, would you like to see the comic book by the panel or by the page?
Random generator gave me 7 as my first number so I guess I’ll have my Intwinkeon!
With a quirky nature. Is that a good one?

This forest music is a bop
Just beat 3rd gym,
Drizzle lv34
Linoone lv34
Carkol lv34
Onto the next!
OK AM I THE ONLY ONE WHOSE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH THIS GAME WITHIN THE FIRST 10 MINUTES?! Its already different than all the other games just within the beginning moments of starting
Have any of you been having the crashing or SD card troubles being talked about on the internet? My copy will be delivered soon but I’m wary about starting after hearing those reports.
Has anyone else noticed that the berry trees are a bit messed up? When you get really close to them random pixels appear on the screen near the top
I just wish I could take more than 5 steps without being interrupted by some character.
I’m confused why is there a pokemart in the pokemon center and one in the train station in wedgehurst? And why dont they have pokeballs?! These pokemarts are about to become the Galars version of Starbucks lol
My friend just caught a shiny swirlix, full odds!
You can get a leafeon as early as before the first gym…wow
279 snorunt defeated and no a single shiny ;[ https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a5a7ff08e212a8adde7c71543d922cf8b95d22bcc1928498121166ab89444a1d.jpg sn
This wait is getting to me!
Currently hunting Centiscorch but my team
Chameleo the Sobble lvl.14
Nibbles the Skwovet lvl.13
Doofus the Yamper lvl.12
I may replace doofus with Toxel tbh
So far the team is:
Skwovet: level 5, cheek pouch w/ oran berry and Hardy nature
Nickit: level 7, unburden w/ oran berry and Lax nature
Sobble: level 8, torrent and Quirky nature
So early today i caught a Woobat and i named it Poobat and made it my very first ST (Surprise Trade) and i got a Modest Sobble, somebody is already breeding mons
I’ve just arrived in Hammerlocke, and this is my team for now! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b6653d9f874e5009dcaa949a99c555846ff9ead4754badf2cb4d61f4e54c877d.jpg
Can someone please give me an egg from Sobble or Grookey?
My team currently after defeating Milo:
Pistacho the Thwackey
Volt the Yamper
Beetla the Dottler
Masktache the Thievul
Yerro the Corvisquire
Jasteele the Drillbur
Most of them if not all may be switched. I am still not sure what to do with Drillbur as his typing is excelent but I also want to use The elephant pokemon and maybe sandaconda but thats two slots for monotypes
Got the game in my hands. I am going back home to start out with my nephew.
Okay making some progress! Just got to motostoke. Current team is
Newt the sobble
Edgar the Rookidee
Jubilee the Dottler
Not sure if I’ll keep both Edgar and jubilee. Loving jubilee so far! Also made my first trainer card! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e3705fcdad0b9a5c59b35b1a03f5dbe349f4ad1f8a46c4ce403ad3c3b630b8b0.jpg
Anyone low level 20s want to battle?
Question about the games: Do both male and female have a wide selection of clothing options? THIS. IS. CRUCIAL.
So I’m trying to evolve my linoone, but I cant figure out how to make night time happen.
Wait until 6pm?
This sucks! I’m still waiting for the games to arrive.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f3aad46f6e8e47addd7d1bed9b51b068cacd4745a2eebea95f4ee84b2c0a953a.jpg Look what I found !!!!!
Ok I’m gonna nitpick but I also dont know if this counts as spoilers. I would really like it if Hop changed from his “OMG YEAH WE’RE BOTH GONNA BE GREAT TRAINERS AND WE’RE BESTIES” and blah blah blah to “You’ve always beaten me and all I ever wanted was my brothers approval but hes taken more of a liking to you instead of me so I’ve become bitter and have made it my mission to beat you” starting with the battle against him at the professor’s house and getting sponsored by leon to do the gym challenge.

Crowned Shield Zamazenta- 720

Argh! Where are these games?!?! This is so annoying. And now it’s getting late and it’ll be dark in game starting the game at night, I hate that. Why couldn’t it have come and allowed me to play this whole afternoon
Got to the wild area and saw an Onix. So I was like oooh let’s battle it… “this is a really strong Onix.” Alright how strong can it be? THIS BISH WAS LEVEL 26 😂😂😂
Starting my shield version now!!! Sobble here I come!
Team update!
Chameleo the Drizzile lvl.19
Nibbles the Skwovet lvl.17
Sizzle the Sizzlipede lvl.17
Sugar the Milcery lvl.15
Sugar is a temp just cause
Where did you get sizzlipede !? I’ve been hunting this thing for hours
Sizzlipede is à bitch to get. I’ve been hunting it for 2 hours.
There is a guaranteed one in the 3rd gym, but I dont know how early you want it.
2nd Gym Challenge won!
Carrot the Raboot (Lv. 25)
Mash the Corvisquire (Lv. 25)
Artoria the Sirfetch’d (Lv. 26)
Raikou the Toxel (Lv. 26)
I grinded a little bit for Toxel and Sirfetch’d, but I wasn’t that overleveled. I also would have had a much tougher time if Artoria wasn’t on my team. I probably won’t grind at all for the next gym and just battle whoever I have to battle. I still don’t know where the story is going but I’m excited to see where it will take me.
With Drednaw’s impressive victory under our belt we make our way to the serenity of the Wild Area
Badges: 3
Thwackey: 35
Carkoal: 31
Drednaw: 32
Linoone: 30
Cufant: 31
(Good Boy): 30
Ok this is seriously starting to irritate me. I’ve got a lv.45 linoone because the game refuses to become night time
-_-;
Wow what an amazing experience to play a core game on the big screen!
Did a dynamax for a bunnelby and got the Tri Attack TR
Man this game is not going my way… ponyta is damn near impossible to find.
Tell me about it, we’re in the era if you use a HP restore item on a fainted pokemon by accident it’ll waste your turn….
Ok so the AI in the game is kind of bad lol just ran into a level 31 haunter in the wild area and beat it with my level 11 Yamper 🤷🏻♂️
It has curse, spite, hex, and nightshade. I took advantage of that to defeat it with my zigzagoon as it couldnt effect me.
I know u feel sorry about it but suffering is not a bad concept tho.
http://is2.4chan.org/vp/1573860495066.gif
Ok I defeated 500 snorunt and still not getting my shiny one 🙁
I always fail in shiny hunt ….I don’t even try anymore.
I guess I’m gonna stop hunting and keep playing 🙂 I’m more into the story and also my pokemon are above level 30 and I havent even defeaded the first gym
Does anyone know how long it usually takes for us to get the sugimori art for all the new mons?
FINALLY FOUND ONE! after over an hour of searching!
I was available to capture an overleveled cufant after nessa battle and guess who is destroying all the npc at the moment
Still lookin for a snom raid
Just snow and dreepy left. I kinda like that my team shows up at consistent intervals rather than all at once, too early, or too late.
It was just a short detour from the Wild Area, Thwackey clung to my shoulder playfully bludgeoning me with his sticks AND SUDDENLY a Corviknight swooped by and snatched him from me!
Thwackey is in a total panic as he dangles from from the steely talons
Trying to wriggle free he uses his stick to swat at the raven pokemon’s feet in order to free himself and he manages to squeeze free and clings to the bird’s back and bonks it repeatedly until it dropped out of the sky!
Our reunion was cut short as the Corviknight was furious and lunged at Thwackey with its beat and *SNAP* breaking Thwackey’s branches causing him to literally evolve and go ape
Thwackey fought a random Corviknight and evolved afterwards
3rd Gym Challenge was awesome. My favorite gym leader so far.
Carrot the Raboot (Lv. 29)
Mash the Corvisquire (Lv. 29)
Artoria the Sirfetch’d (Lv. 29)
Raikou the Toxel (Lv. 29)
Carrot hard carried defensively this time around thanks to its typing. Although things got tricky with the last Pokémon. I had to even stall out the Maxed form. I also really like the 3rd gyms mission. Now I’m completely in the dark of what the remaining gym missions will entail. I hope that they manage to maintain this level of creativity.
.I just dont get it :/ why in the open area it’s dark and when I get to a city is morning wtf its 8 pm
Ok yall I just found an axew raid. I sent out a request so if anyone is my friend and got a request please join
Good gracious what’s the ratio for female starters? Like 5%?
i’ve played for 12hrs…..
About to get to the first gym:) really enjoying the game so far. I love max raid battles; it brings a whole new element to catching pokemon.
My current team is:
Thwackey (Lv.21)
Corvisquire (Lv.21)
Yamper (Lv.19)
Chewtle (Lv.19)
Sizzlipede (Lv.17)
Vanillite (Lv.19)
But I have Galarian meowth (lv.17), Bonsly (lv.19), Wooloo (lv.19), Diggersby (lv.17) all on standby 🙂
Toxel is next one to get onto my team on the agenda 🙂
Did you notice that you can do Leon’s pose?

Looky what I found! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b42911201e12fff4e4a3fc5538344b13a2896833392181d07e35122650208ace.jpg
My teams nearly done! I just need Morgrem to evolve!
Seeing Frosmoth in the battle is totally different from seeing it in a pic it’s really majestic …I like the transparent parts as well.

Finally a female Sobble! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/51756fb217d1a4fcc31a719ae2cb27b7fe4b90cdc54e5e902666d98f73e8b909.jpg
Lol I killed Hop’s team un a doble battñer agains yeam Yell
Alcremie is a lovely Pokemon. It really is. Customisable Pokemon is a real treat, and Alcremie unlike Furfrou is incredibly solid outside of its gimmick. Its evo is also super weird but clearly hinted by its evo items.
However, evolving the little bugger into the Alcremie you want is an absolute pain in the behind. There’s eight cream flavours. Basically, they’re split into the following groups
Day or night? > Spin Left or Right? > For five seconds and over, or less?
Sounds complicated? No, its not. My only issue with cream colour is day/night, but that’s the smartest way to divide them.
It’s the sweets that are the issue.
The little decorations on Alcremie are in fact the items used to evolve it. You get Strawberry Sweets as a random item laying around Hammerlocke, but the rest are rng and are locked behind the battle cafe.
This makes obtaining the exact colour combinations you want an utter disaster. I’ve fought the cafe three times (there’s one in Motostoke, and a far higher level one Hammerlocke) and even beat two Fairy types that swept most of my team as they were about ten levels above me. No dice. Keep getting exp sweets and even a Whipped Dream.
I love Alcremie, but I want mine to look a specific way and don’t want the strawberry sweets because that’s basic af. But the game’s hella sure on giving you strawberry.
The third gym was one of the hardest gyms imo. Unless you chose Sobble, have fun using potions and burn heals every turn.
Also yeah it was kinda my fault cause my team member were 4/6 weak to fire but in my defense..they are no good water types or ground before you get to gym3. I had drillbur but he didnt have any ground moves sadly
Eternamax Eternatus just beat Mega Rayquaza And the Mega Mewtwos for having a higher base stat total which is 1,125! that’s god power crazy there!
Omggg! Wtf? I thought in the ceremomy I would fight the first gym and nooo…. im level 30 and now I have to move to another town lol
I’m really enjoying that I havent hit the first gym yet. It’s a much needed change from every other *start game then do small side quest and BAM you’re at the first gym*
Dreepy have 2% chance to appeare in Fog and Thunderstorm weather.
Do you have a link to where all pokemon can be found?
I JUST GOT AN APPLIN IN A SURPRISE TRADE!
And its level 1!
Please can some body help me with this sizzlipede situation ? I can’t find it at all. How do I get it ??? I’ve been hunting it for 6 hours
Well I’m calling it a day I’ve been practically up an extended twenty hours and yet I’m wide awake
I made it to the infamous Glimwood Tangle and rustled up a Adamant Impidimp but it has Frisk so into the shredder
It pains me that I’ve put in 15hrs of playtime and I already have 4 badges… I feel like I should spend every other day just picking up a random team of Wild Area fodder and making my own adventures like in BOTW because I am not gonna blow through the game in the first week Damn it I spent all this time waiting for it and it’s supposed to last me a long time because THERE AINT ANYTHING ELSE TO LOOK FORWARD TO EARTHEN, not for a while at least (AC New Horizons)
I simply cannot put it down nor ignore my petty desires to be on par with My peers in terms of progress
GIGANTAMAX BUTTERFREE BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Is there something akin to the hair stylist to increase happiness in this game?
Gym Challenge 4. Jablinski would be proud (kudos to those who get the reference). I ended up changing my mind on a team member because I’ve decided on a nickname theme. So I’ve also changed the nickname of another one of my Pokémon.
Cath Palug the Cinderace (Lv. 35)
Raikou the Toxtricity (Lv. 34)
Artoria the Sirfetch’d (Lv. 34)
Jinako the Copperajah (Lv. 34)
Cleopatra the Silicobra (Lv. 34)
Mash the Corvisquire (Lv. 33)
Yea, I think that I was a little underleveled this time around. I had to use revive a couple times as my Pokémon were getting OHKO’d. I probably should have grinded a little bit as I now have 6 team members and the gym leaders this time around are probably the highest leveled leaders we’ve had to date. The Gym Missions continue to not disappoint. This is honestly my favorite league experience so far. Unfortunately I have an exam in a couple days, so I think that I’m going to have to put my playthrough on hold until, optimistically speaking, Tuesday.
No Indeedee?
Guess who’s back

Gigantamax Toxtricity…………this need a spoiler.
I have been playing for 6 hours and barely made it to the first gym. Having so much fun just catching things. Exp Share is not as broken as I thought. Dynamax Raids are fun.
