  1. Ok this is really aggravating me! I have no raids. All of my dens are “trickling with light” but when I click on the dens theres people searching for others to do raids! 😩😩😩 I’m tempted to throw my joy cons at my tv

    Reply
    • None? None at all? There should be a huge pillar of light coming out If them. Do you have water bike to reach ones over bodies of water?

      Do you have any wishing pieces?

  2. So i’m only missing 2 dittos Impish and Calm

    So far my 100 Haxorus is doing lovely, he can slice down dittos and never kill anything (Rock, Steel and Ghost cannot be caught tho)

  3. How does weather change in this game? I’m particularly interested in finding Corsola and Drakloak but there hasn’t been any change in what feels like forever.

  4. So I find it interesting that if you get a pokemon traded to you that is not nicknamed, you can change its name once.

    EXCEPT for if that pokemon is foreign, it wont let you. It’s odd and because of it I need to raise another grookey.

  5. Hmm some interesting things to know

    Orbeetle and Kingler are the only Gigantomax forms to not really have a special trainer or role (I see Butterfree’s role as being the early Gigantomax form for people to get to use)

    Also why are Snorlax and Toxtricity Gigantomax unavailable? Melmetal makes sense because it’s not out yet, but why are former two not here?

  6. A bit bored, so I want to get to know you guys better. What’s the story behind your profile pic and username, and if possible, the full image of your?profile?

    Reply
    • Hello! I’m Exeledus! (Pronounced Ek-Sell-Ed-Us)

      I chose this Username because it’s my actually legal middle name! (Congrats, you know the only person on this planet with that name!)

      My picture is of my favorite gym leader, Melony!

      A little more about me, I’m male, age 28, favorite color is pink, my favorite pokemon type is Normal, but I generally love beautiful pokemon the most! Nice to meet you Belladonna!

      • Ahahaha, it’s me, Fairy, it’s just that a lot of people have come back or started now that SS are out.

        I used to change my username an absolute ton and rn I felt like doing it again

        Reply
    • RWBY’s something I like to watch, and it’s topical rn because Volume 7 just aired. Each of the main characters got a redesign for the occassion, and I’m loving Blake’s new redesign.

      Belladonna is her last name, so the username is just an aesthetic version of that. Went with the character because I just like her edgy ninja catgirl vibe even though that’s the opposite of me in real life. I think a lot of my tastes in fictional characters is like that, I like things with both function and form typically of the elegant variety.

      Favourite Pokemon game is Platinum
      Favourite Pokemon is Kantonian Raichu
      Favourite colour is white
      Favourite non-Pokemon game is Bayonetta
      I’m a 19 year old guy trying to survive at uni lol

      • I really didnt like RWBY past season 3 all that much. 4 killed it completely for me, 5 was better, and that’s where I stopped as they took it off youtube. I like Yang the best!

    • My prof pic atm is my league card in SwSh so not much of a story there

      Kurusu despite many thinking it derives from some anime character idek it actually comes from the original Johto Water starter from the beta. The year was 2016 and I was at the Great Wolf Lodge and watched a video on scrapped Pokemon by Dobbs and saw this little guy and fell in love. My original name was The Last Kurusu

      Nice to remeet you! I’m an 18 year old guy, favorite color is green and favorite type is water (close second with grass) and my favorite Pokemon is Politoed

  7. After playing monotype this evening I’ve calculated a few things

    -Ground is severely crippled because the appalling lack of genuine special attackers that aren’t Water/Ground walls, Flygon is the closest thing to that and still falls short due to low special attack, even Life Orb, Specs and Wise Glasses can only do so much, and because of this we have next to no offensive push against grass or flying type because we lack any special fire or electric moves
    -We do not have a single Knock Off user I checked Serebii and no Ground types are capable of learning it
    -Dynamax weather wars are becoming more powerful than ever with new options for teams to reclaim the battlefield
    -The introduction of Heavy Duty Boots Pretty much are everywhere to protect 4x weaknesses and Mandibuzz
    -Dynamax Ferrothorn is evil
    -Strength Sap Evolite Corsola is extremely hard to counter without knocking off its evolite to lower its defenses and taunt users are legitimately down to Steelix and Runeirigus which will be immediately burnt by wisp
    -Toxic is run exclusively by Quag and Seismitoad (Toxic Spikes for Rune) so that gives Hippowdon less options
    -Ghost and Water are the most common type, I fought at least a dozen of each and they pretty much ruin my day

    The very few of pros is that Sandaconda can easily get sand on the field even if 1HKO’d and Excadrill has a buff with Rapid Spin’s speed boost and Dynamax STAB moves beefing his defenses and Max knuckle brick break for attack and rarely Max rockfall to put sand back himself but only within a three turn time limit but running everything is hard with 4 slots

    So yeah I might be put out of business ground really took a hit

  8. I have a new theory to present! There seems to be some connection between the number of Pokémon caught/defeated and their appearance rate in the wild. After catching 10 Drakloaks in a row I’ve been seeing them at an even higher rate – sometimes 2 or 3 in one patch of grass. These are 2% overworld encounters and I’m simply not that lucky of a guy to have seen over 30 of them in a little over an hour. I wonder if this is somehow tied to increasing shiny rates as well? I’m feeling like a real Pokémon professor tonight.

  9. Post Gym 6 challenge:

    Definitely the most stress-inducing gym mission yet. Although, I have to say that the 6th Gym leader was probably my least favorite one so far. Here is my team at the moment.

    Cath Palug the Cinderace (Lv. 43)
    Mash the Corviknight (Lv. 43)
    Raikou the Toxtricity (Lv. 43)
    Enkidu the Indeedee (Lv. 44)
    Ozymandias the Sandaconda (Lv. 42)
    Nightingale the Frosmoth (Lv. 44)

    Yup, I changed my team again. Although I just evolved Nightingale so I’m not sure if she’ll be a permanent member. (I’m changing my team nearly as much as Hop is changing his). You may also notice that my Sandaconda has a different name, well that is because I was able to catch a Gigantamax Sandaconda (a design that I like quite a bit). It seems like Gym 7 will be a Saturday event as I need to do a couple things before I head back home.

  10. Hey guys I know that I told Xatu I’d breed him some Sword exclusives but anyone else?

    So far my one I can do are Darumaka’s, Farfetch’d and Stonjuror. If you want one just holler

  11. anyone find G-Max Lapras? I swear I’ve never seen anyone on Y-Comm start a raid for one. I’ve got one, but they seem rare.

    Also never seen machamp, gengar, or coalossal either.
