What controllers do people here use for afk hunting?
worn cobalt
I have a wired controller from Hori I bought for my switch 2 that has a built in turbo function. tempted to buy a wireless 8bitdo controller that has macros though.
willow kelp
Turbo button works for the bench method right?

Yeah, been using it for the bench method.
Yesterday I got a Shalpha Abosl. That was cool.

What method are you using for drampa? I’ve been manually running back and forth from the zone entrance but it takes a long time.

I'd love to learn more shiny hunting methods- 'cause shiny hunting is taking a while and it's all manuel, aside from the AFK method in the third zone but that only has so many pokemon and I don't want to exclusively use that method for my shiny only run

For drampa, I run back and forth from the southern entrance.

This is my current setup; Switch 1 (oled) and a split pad compact with a hair tie and specialized crochet hook, lol.
Current I’m actually just using the turbo mode to reset 30 Old Amber for a shiny Aerodactyl.
I’m starting to think it either doesn’t exist or that I need to sacrifice a Gogoat to the rng gods. And yes, I do have the shiny charm.

Shiny charm doesn't affect the fossil odds. But it does exist, I did get all three shiny fossils. But amaura was a pain to get.

Good to know it doesn’t affect the fossils! I got very lucky with Amaura, so I guess I’m paying the price for that rng luck!
I’ve been looking for the dumb bird for almost three days now.
worn cobalt
Amaura was a day or two of straight resetting. And I mean 24-48 hours of straight resetting.
misty bloom
I haven’t really tracked how many resets I’ve done, but I can estimate that Amaura took 10-15 resets, and I’m probably over 70-80 resets for Aerodactyl. I average about five resets an hour (each one takes 8-9 minutes), and probably average 6 hours of resetting a day.
summer flare
i've seen that the odds for both alpha AND shiny are 1% or 1/100 for fossils, so there's really no need for charm
summer flare
ah, no, mb the shiny is normal odds i think
i could have sworn it said it applied to both but i guess this was during the gathering info period
so 15ish resets is insanely under, gg
misty bloom
I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly Amaura showed up. I’m now paying the price for that luck, lol. Also paying the price for how quickly my Shalpha Swirlix showed up, as I have yet to get Shalpha Spritzee. (Have phased on three espur, trubish, budew, a Weepinbell, and a heracross).
summer flare
i don't have turbo (afaik???) so i'm just resetting area 5 by hand
shit i'd beg for the budew or weepinbell but i can't even connect on this profile
god this would be so much faster if i was just going back and forth for venipede
misty bloom
I spent so much time in and around zone 19 looking for Furfrou. There is no afk spot for that area. I think I only phased once, and it was Garbador (maybe alpha? I’ll have to check) rather than, idk, an Audino, Eevee, or Kangaskan.
I did eventually get my Furfrou and it was the alpha, but that was painful.
worn cobalt
I have a ton of extra shinies if people wanna trade ig
misty bloom
I have extra shiny pyroar, and will probably end up with more.

do you know your girlfriend’s pet’s favorite treat?
indigo mango
and gwynn is obsessed with canari way past friends
summer flare
she either withheld it or answered something technically true but ||tarragon|| wasn't prepped to say yes to
indigo mango
its still understandable but also feels weird tbf when she ddint even know the cookie, it not being burned would be udnersatdnable but not even knowing what cookie it eats despite them going on cafe breaks together is wild
summer flare
bc remember ||it's not actually canari||
so she very well could have been right, but it's not the "answer"
misty bloom
Theory: Gwynn threw the snack bit on purpose.
summer flare
that also
indigo mango
Theory: Gwynn threw the snack bit on purpose.
nah we know she didnt
summer flare
she threw intentionally so they could laugh abt it or said something that only she gets for elektross, which wouldn't have been the "right" answer
indigo mango
she keeps attacking you for it and challenged Naveen cause she was annoyed she didnt win
summer flare
then probably an "I get this for my gf's pokemon all the time and it's his favorite thing" and tarragon went "well, yeah, but the simps aren't allowed to know that"
i like the idea that she was only dinged bc if gwynn was allowed to be correct for something not that specific item, she'd have been harassed by simps and tarragon wanted to keep his grandkid's gf safe
misty bloom
Tarragon would do that! After all, he had turned all his employees into fans!

zone 5,
you get bellsprout, pidgey/pidgeotto, and venipede, and down the stairs leads into an area for electrike and about 3-4 venipede in terms of ||singleplayer megas||
abras on the rooftops and bunnelby spawns with the bellsprout and pedes
the venipede area downstairs actually leads below here, you can hear their cries and theyre close enough to save shinies i think

Guys, Eviolite Whirlipede using Infestation + Toxic isn't as good as it sounds.

I was thinking about the clothes yesterday, and had a sudden thought about how cool it would have been if they’d included some of the clothes from X and Y. Like, add second hand clothing stores to the game!
desert current
some of the clothes have very loose similarities, but they're few and far between

THE SKIRTS WERE SO CUTE GIVE ME SKIRTS

it's not that hard!!!

not just the fron PLEASE
desert current
free camera control, and a photo mode... You know they can't have skirts

you can have skorts!! just make them full skirt instead of the weird halfsie
desert current
though honestly they could've just had skirts with shorts underneath them

also the chinos and sweat shorts suck most of the time

I’m disappointed with all the casual wear. This is supposed to Paris! Give us more fancy clothing! Give us skirts and dresses and fancy masculine clothing!
jade ocean
Guys, Eviolite Whirlipede using Infestation + Toxic isn't as good as it sounds.

desert current
I’m disappointed with all the casual wear. This is supposed to *Paris!* Give us ...
and a lot of the clothes just have weird coloration... Like why is it so hard to find just a normal blue jacket?
They give you so many great color options for hair (I even managed to make it look like the character in my profile pic) but in terms of outfits they always just feel a little too unique.
misty bloom
I like muted/desaturated colors, so a lot of the clothing is just not interesting to me.
desert current
if it wasn't for the mechanic that lets you mix and match colors (for stuff like pants/belts, etc) I would be soooo disappointed.
misty bloom
Same! That mechanic is awesome!
desert current
I kinda wish they leaned even more into it. Some clothing just doesn't have that at all (like many of the shoes and hats).
misty bloom
Or it’s just the sash/belt.
desert current
its usually relegated to clothing pieces that have two materials
like imagine if any outfit with two colors could be swapped between each other (like changing the stripe on the hat for example). that would have been so cool
misty bloom
You could change hat pins/accessories in X&Y, why not more hat embellishments in ZA?
desert current
yeah I miss those things :(

252+ Atk Machamp Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite Clauncher: 73-87 (46.4 - 55.4%) -- 67.6% chance to 2HKO
Clauncher's the GOAT

CLAUNCHER SWEEP

This is before the ranked damage reduction btw

ok now tpunch

bc we know it's less
jade ocean
252+ Atk Machamp Thunder Punch vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite Clauncher: 62-74 (39.4 - 47.1%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
jade ocean
The DR is like ×70% right?
summer flare
that's actually a great visualizer
jade ocean
So moves deal 70% of their damage?
hazy knot
the one bad part about clauncher is the size means its attacks get stopped by curbs and stuff
might not happen to an alpha
jade ocean
That'd make CC do like 38.5% max and Tpunch do like 33% max
summer flare
sometimes stab is just better
not the best, but better
empty hinge
Tpunch would literally never be able to 3HKO
Are we serious right neow

do you guys think I should go full defense and special attack for clauncher after resetting evs?
