Sorry I wrote the incorrect name…. I need someone who has sword so I can evolve my applin into Flapple plesse
You need a tart apple.
Not for Flapple
I’ve been busy today and been trying to take things slow today
I just beat the pink obsessed octogenarian and now making sure i get as far away from that luminescent nightmare by going to Route 7 i think
What are you guys up to (if you can actually look up from your games for more than 5 minutes)
In the wild area, what do the points do?
I just domt know… do I have to finish them all to get new one?
And my Zee is now a Drizzile
Soooo the den locations that serebii mentions the max raids. Does anyone know how to correspond those numbers to the Dens? Or is there a map somewhere, I can’t seem to find it..
Please can someone tell me about dreepy raids ?
Loving Sword so far! I just beat Milo at the 4:40 mark. I’ve been taking things slow and steady!
My team as it stands is Raboot (21), Chewtle (20), Corvisquire (20) and Yamper (19).
I’ve been having such a blast. Nothing beats the feeling of Dynamax Pokemon fighting in a massive stadium!
What’s the earliest Synchronizer you can get?
Just beat Nessa. Been helping my mom clean up the kitchen all day.
Current lineup:
Ranken the Thwackey
Philo the Toxel
Mogg the Dottler
Gallagher the Corvisquire
Barney the Arrokuda
Rörland the G-Farfetch’d
For a moment I thought that was a side quest.
I’m at Route 10 right now in Sword. My team is:
Russel (Rillaboom)
Scolopendra (Centiskorch)
Capn’ Crunch (Drednaw)
Elizabeth (Boltund)
Badger x3 (Obstagoon)
Nevermore (Corviknight)
Nessa is broken if you have Scorbunny second d evolution…. all my pokemon at 33 level and none of them were grass or electric…. she was almost to bit me 🙂 enjoyed the battle
We did it Seraph 😀
Raihan should’ve been the champion, he has an actually decent design.
…I either missed something, or the way the plot unfolds at the end of thechallenger league makes no sense.
When would you guys suggest attempting the Raids in the Wild Area? Postgame or sooner?
Link trade is a piece of sh*t jesus christ 3p minutes trying to connect with a friend of mine and random people are getting in
So you need Switch online for trades?
Anyone got an ice scales snom? I’m desperate here lmao
D’you think Tiny Wailord is to make Dynamax Wailord seem bigger? ’cause it’d still get bigger anyway, just not so much.
Update for Jeff’s Shield adventure:
About to leave Wild Area for a bit and go explore Motostoke.
Drizzile lvl 19
Yamper lvl 16
Dreepy lvl 15
Nickit lvl 16
Dottler lvl 16
Corvisquire lvl 18
Honestly, difficulty in this game so far is pretty balanced. My pokemon were the same level or lower when I fought gym 3 and the only reason they are overleveled right now is because I decided to go to the wild area and battle 40-50 lvl pokemon with Copperajah at lvl 35. Surprisingly many pokemon cant scratch him
You basically can decide how hard the game can be. If you dont go and grind in the Wild Area you may get a challenge
We’re doing a multibattle if anyone wants to take part, code is 0308. Me, Seraph, and Kurusu so fsr and we’re rotating teammates
countm me in
After 1h+ hunting for a Prankster Impidimp… I’m about to give up! Why this thing had to be male only…
This took 2 hours to appear. https://twitter.com/Monkeyfuzz_/status/1195844006199955456
Anybody feel they could’ve spent a little more time on the online link parts?
Like why is everything up to random circumstance why can’t people have the option to invite friends or those who know a link code and connect real easy like?
