Pokemon

[calm brook]

why are tree encounters so rare

[neon dagger]

I think ive seen like 4 total

Run through a forest and look ig

[calm brook]

ive been where they supposedly spawn

and just

no applin

[keen sandal]

I've seen two Bounsweet and no Applin in over 40 hours of playtime.

[calm brook]

also i cant find slakoth

idk what problem with them is

[keen sandal]

I've got a Slaking or two that I think I'll just breed for Slakoth.

[calm brook]

after about ten minutes i found an applin in tagtree

[errant carbon]

I only remember seeing a tree spawn once in my near 30 hours of play time

And it was right at the very start of the game 🤣

[calm brook]

got a third shiny, murkrow

[errant carbon]

Noice

So doing research while I'm at work cus it's totally busy and they really need me today

Magneton just need thunder stone to evolve which is nice

I was like where tf is there an electric cave in this game 🤣

[timber swan]

Hold up they do?

[errant carbon]

Unless we are all getting really really insanely lucky coincidences, yes they come with high stats

Are the raid mons I've caught from 4 star raids that I've checked have had at least 3 perfect ivs

[calm brook]

ok 30 mins for two applin

[errant carbon]

Rip, you going for living Dex?

[timber swan]

I need to unlock mints to buy

Reee

Once I unlock mints I’ll be a bit stronger and still sweep

Me: needing to go to work
Also me: checking Pokémon market before I go to see if there are any deals

[errant carbon]

I haven't looked at anything more than just base solo game play yet

Gemma got a code thing to unlock something but haven't looked at this yet. I believe she got it for buying the digital version? Idk can't remember what she said it was for

[timber swan]

The market in the city you had to go for the water gym challenge

[neon dagger]

what special stuff is on the market

[keen sandal]

Golden bottle caps if you're lucky.

[neon dagger]

how much?

[keen sandal]

You can also get vitamins in bulk, possibly cheaper depending on how the auction goes.

[neon dagger]

i should have quite a bit of money and lp combined

[keen sandal]

It's an auction, so there's no set price.

[neon dagger]

who bids for it, bots?

[keen sandal]

ye

[neon dagger]

only pokedollar or also lp for payment?

[keen sandal]

Only money

[neon dagger]

unfortunate

tf is the diffrence btw the original and fake sinistea

[keen sandal]

Nothing, except one is rarer.

[neon dagger]

which is unfortunate

bc i cant evolve mine

[timber swan]

I bought 3 pp max for $105k

Heh trying to not act like a child at pp max

You can get some great items though in bulk like I’ve gotten 12 Carbos for around $90k

[neon dagger]

i got me a rotom catalogue

[timber swan]

Oh same it cost what $500?

[neon dagger]

it got up to 7k

only got 13 pp ups for 36,4k

[timber swan]

Lucky

[neon dagger]

well

thats the starting price

[timber swan]

I like crashing the Pokémon economy by doing the auction then selling TMs I’ll never use to make back all the money

[neon dagger]

i got like 700k rn

ig i could look into tm

[timber swan]

I’m only at $400k : (

[neon dagger]

tf

[timber swan]

It took me for fucking ever to find the last trainer to get the amulet coin

Fuck you for hiding

[neon dagger]

isnt chipped pot for the "fake" sinistea?

oh

i see

well back to finding the item ig

what herba mystica doin?

[timber swan]

What the dog doin

[calm brook]

the gold bottle caps at the auction arent worth i saw someone whose price for it was 700k when you can get the same in the form of 6 caps for 20k each

auction prices in general are trash

[neon dagger]

hmm the hopip doesnt look good

[calm brook]

sick?

[neon dagger]

green

so bitter herba mystica dramatically bolsters a bodys immune defenses

i guess def up?

part of picnic items

[calm brook]

idk

[timber swan]

I’ve only got one shiny

Pain

[neon dagger]

pog bottle cap + 2 mints

unfortunate

i got a mal and female raichu with both being 4iv

but not good def ivsd

how can i not cath this delibird

60 lvl diff 1hp paralyzed

[timber swan]

Because it’s a legendary

[calm brook]

love finding a mon i need and then

ditto

[neon dagger]

can you give me one?

i havent managed to find one

[calm brook]

i only have one
they spawn frequently just look for mons that dont aggro/run when they should

also i found an item i cant pick up

[neon dagger]

pog finally female salandti

[safe wave]

So what i got from that is essentially that battling mons and defeating them grants a perm stat addition to your current team (EV) and a mons actual base stats being increased are IV's which can be maxed through items and hypertraining (IV)

but then why do people grind for "Perfect" IV mons?

[neon dagger]

i thnk bottlecaps have a limit

on how many stats can be raised

[calm brook]

bigger number better

[calm brook]

not unless they changed it

[keen sandal]

This is pretty much it, yeah.

[keen sandal]

Hyper training was only introduced in Gen VII, and until now the Bottle Caps you need to exchange for it weren't particularly easy to get hold of.

In the new games you can just buy them, but previously they were way more of a pain in the ass.

All right. I've got 10 Gible eggs, bred such that they can theoretically be perfect everywhere except one stat. Do we reckon I'll get what I'm looking for (Adamant and Sp. Atk being the imperfect) in this batch or will I have to breed more?

[timber swan]

Fuck ditto

I thought I finally found a Varoom and then suddenly haha ditto

That derpy little smile

I beat the shit out of it

[median nimbus]

Rhy's pkmns surely already have

[timber swan]

Oh no

[neon dagger]

me who stil hasnt found a ditto:

[timber swan]

I got a raid den ditto

It’s a bitch

[keen sandal]

I also have one.

From a 6-star. 5 IVs

[neon dagger]

also

where eevee

[keen sandal]

Update. Just got a 4 IV Ditto from a raid. Missing Sp. Atk and Speed if anyone wants it.

[calm brook]

anyone wanna do a union circle i gotta evo finizen

[calm brook]

use serebii's pokearth thingy

[keen sandal]

Can do, ye

[calm brook]

ok gimme a minute it my switch is being dumb

somethin bout dns settings

[calm brook]

PP0DB1

that is a zero not an O

at least i think

[keen sandal]

It is. You can't actually put an O.

[calm brook]

ah

also if you have scarlet we can trade exclusives

[keen sandal]

I haven't grabbed too many yet, but I'll have a look through and see what I've got

[calm brook]

lmk if you have larvitar, stunky, drifloon, deino, skrelp, oranguru, or stonjourner
wont bother with paradox mons rn

oh also armorouge

[neon dagger]

298 caught 347 seen rn

[calm brook]

i have the violet exclusives but may need to breed

[neon dagger]

hmm

perp

[calm brook]

or you can catch them in my world

[neon dagger]

do you wanna to funky stuff?

[calm brook]

do what now

[neon dagger]

tradebacks are also an option

[calm brook]

ya but if they evo you need all stages

[neon dagger]

yeah thats unfortunat

[calm brook]

oh i got communication errored

[keen sandal]

Got loads of Larvitar, a spare Armarouge or two, a Drifblim, plenty of Skrelp, Oranguru and Stonjourner

[calm brook]

someone else should host my internet is being weird
also do you have to join during the initial thing or can you join in progress

[neon dagger]

for union?

[keen sandal]

No idea

[neon dagger]

i think you just need the code and rest doesnt matter much

[keen sandal]

I'm forming a new group now

GGTCJB

[neon dagger]

man catching with pokeballs sure is painful sometimes

[calm brook]

giving me communication errors

i love nintendo online

[keen sandal]

Someone else try

[calm brook]

may just need to link trade

[keen sandal]

Yeah, we can do that

@calm brook use code 3435 3435

[calm brook]

still erroring

[keen sandal]

Gotta love Nintendo

Give up for now and try again another time?

[calm brook]

ya

[keen sandal]

Turns out you can catch version exclusives in the opposite game with Union Circle

[neon dagger]

yeah

[keen sandal]

The Gible I just hatched...

[neon dagger]

i think i jsut got into a raid with a bagon lmao

[keen sandal]

LOOK AT HER

SHE IS MAGNIFICENT

[neon dagger]

first lvl 100 aquiered

random raids kinda popping off

farming violet exclusives

hol

this guy just did 95% dmg to the 5 star raid mon on 2nd turn

bely drum into wild charge with that paradox hariyama

[keen sandal]

What's he using? I've seen Iron Hands going hard.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

[neon dagger]

i wonder

where could i find belly drum

unfortunately a water ceruldge

ok but max hp atk def and spd

[keen sandal]

Mant when do you want your Meowth?

[neon dagger]

could do it rn

[keen sandal]

34353435

[neon dagger]

need anything specific?

[keen sandal]

Not really, unless you've managed to get hold of any Violet exclusives

[neon dagger]

i got a few

[keen sandal]

Really anything except Misdreavus

[neon dagger]

lemme see what the violet exclusives are

[keen sandal]

Got a Bagon?

[neon dagger]

omw to getting salamence rn

but still need to look for a ditto to breed

[keen sandal]

I've got a spare 4 IV one

[neon dagger]

i can also give you 4 iv mons

[keen sandal]

Just give me anything, really

This Meowth is all perfect except Atk, btw

[neon dagger]

yeah those are some ivs

[keen sandal]

Do you want the 4 IV Ditto? It's missing Sp Atk and Speed; perfect in the others

[neon dagger]

yeah would be good

the magneton shoulnt be too bad

[keen sandal]

4/6, yeah

Anything else you need?

[neon dagger]

not really rn

ill just farm more raids via the random one

[keen sandal]

aight

[neon dagger]

the joinign random raids wasnt in swsh afaik?

[keen sandal]

It kinda was. I don't remember exactly how it worked, but there was definitely matchmaking.

Although the raids worked differently, because they appeared in fixed locations and you had to spend an item to join.

[neon dagger]

mm was bad there

but now you can just join any random ones

[keen sandal]

Yeah. It's great.

It's how I got my main Ditto

[neon dagger]

ive seen dragapult on the main page

but going vs annihilape rn

cant be bothered to evolve it

my teammates are getting rolled

my koraidon doesnt care

damn

max hp ap atk atk spd

why does it have outrage

[keen sandal]

Ayy

Adamant Koraidon with max Atk and Speed.

Sadly also Sp Atk, which is a shame.

Oh, according to Serebii it's guaranteed to be Adamant.

[neon dagger]

what are the other ones?

i think the 2nd one has guaranteed stats

[keen sandal]

They're all "pretty good", so 16-25.

[neon dagger]

for mine too

[keen sandal]

Can't be bothered trying to work them out exactly.

[neon dagger]

exact copy

so uh

how do i even get ditto to breed with the right mon

[keen sandal]

Put Ditto and the thing you want to breed in your party and nothing else.

Everything else goes in the PC

Then just picnic and wait, but I highly recommend getting Egg Power from a sandwich or restaurant meal to speed it up.

[neon dagger]

what starter did you get btw?

[keen sandal]

Sprigatito, but I have all three.

[neon dagger]

how about a bit of trading

i give you bagon and dreepy

you give me the croc and duck

[keen sandal]

I haven't bred Fuecoco yet, so I don't currently have one to trade, and I'm heading out soon. Maybe tomorrow?

[neon dagger]

can do

my salamance surprisingly has max sp atk and atk

[keen sandal]

Noice

[neon dagger]

my dragapult is also 4 iv

[calm brook]

ok well now i need to grind for money

apparently gathering items in east 3 and west 2 is fairly efficient

[neon dagger]

perp i think you got rolled on applin

it took me 3 min

tagtree thicket seems to be quite a goo one

[calm brook]

think i go quaqua, baxcalibur, volcarona, chien-pao/ceruledge, gardevoir, and idk what else for e4

tagtree was where i found mine but it still took a while

wish i had something similar to togekiss

[neon dagger]

you still havent done e4?

[calm brook]

nope

busy with dex

[neon dagger]

i have to figure out how to start the endgame tournament

[calm brook]

gimmi and spiritomb and ruin legends then trading then actual story time and paradox mons

[keen sandal]

Have you done all the rematches?

[neon dagger]

oh well

[keen sandal]

I haven’t been able to find one either. I think you’re the outlier here

[neon dagger]

tagtree thicket should be where they spawn

theyre not that big either

[calm brook]

Spotting them is not the problem

I dashed most trees anyways

[keen sandal]

Yeah, I was in there for a while earlier with the map claiming they were present

Wait

You did what to trees?

[neon dagger]

you have to ram trees

[keen sandal]

Oh shit

I had no idea that was a thing

[errant carbon]

Oh shit I forgot that was a thing

How many mons are tree spawns only ?

[calm brook]

You can use lz to aim then throw your mon or just ram a tree and they drop

[calm brook]

damn there's no good way to get berries

time to look for them in the ground ig

i went to east 1 and they actually arent terribly rare

[neon dagger]

Wdym?

You randomly get a shit ton of berries in this game

[keen sandal]

I think he means you can’t buy them or farm specific ones you’re looking for

You just look for sparkles and hope

[calm brook]

i pick up everything and didnt have more than 17 of any of the ev decreasing ones

there's a bunch of diff types of berries but only one that lowers each specific ev

nice feeling getting perfect stats on my og starter before e4

https://www.gamerguides.com/pokemon-scarlet-and-violet/maps/paldea-region-map

[calm brook]

good interactive map

using it for stakes and gimmis

[errant carbon]

I'm a bit sad

Can't remember if I shared it but I caught this

It has analytic, which I want to build off of

But 31 speed ivs gonna mess it up a bit lol

Ideally I want perfect IVS in hp spatk and both defenses

Build a bulky, slow, hard hitter

Guess I'll hope I get another one in a raid lol

[errant carbon]

Instead of doing the raids scattered around I'm just farming the online ones with randoms now

A lot faster and way less downtime lol

[safe wave]

Minor spoilers for scarlet and violet grass starter evolution

[errant carbon]

Just caught my third magneton, still not what I'm going for :(

Mega sad

[median nimbus]

oh yeah, hammy, I got word that there's going to be a Japan only edition of the starters plushies, just sleeping

[errant carbon]

Probably only gonna be sold in Japan then 🤣 or cost a fortune to ship and deffo won't be here in time for Xmas lmao

[median nimbus]

[errant carbon]

Been getting a fair bit more exp candy shit

Might dump them all into my garde and hope it can solo the entire elite 4

That way I can do the 5 star raids

Hmmm

Yeah fuck it lets try

Got up to 99 got a few exp things spare but Jesus fucking Christ look at them stats

Special attack = yea

[errant carbon]

Yeah so unsurprisingly my level 100 perfect stats gardevoir sweeped the entire elite 4, champion and nemona fight with great ease

Time to go finish the star base story line then main game is done

I think

Unless area zero is classed as main game and not post game

[median nimbus]

I can just imagine it.
You came in, pulled out the gardevoir and it started screaming: "Vizca el Barça"
Then everyone started running away or fainting

[neon dagger]

I had to do the emdgame tourney yesterday bc of 6 star raids

My annihilape was only lvl 75 but swept everything

[calm brook]

anyone on for trades?

[median nimbus]

I wish I could help, but I jailbreaked my switch years ago

[calm brook]

got a second shiny murkrow

[timber swan]

Pog I have one

Finally got my dusk lycanroc

That’s a huge W for me

[neon dagger]

i broke the game when i oneshot a 5 star raid mon

ability capsule adamant mint

[median nimbus]

why am I not surprised by now?

[keen sandal]

Bruh

Meal powers disappear if you save and quit the game

[keen sandal]

@neon dagger I've got extra Fuecoco and Quaxly now if you still need

[neon dagger]

you want a dreepy or a dragapult?

[keen sandal]

Dreepy

3435 3435

[neon dagger]

need to breed first

[keen sandal]

K. Let me know when

[errant carbon]

Man I wish I'd actually try harder and not spent 74 years exploring

Wish I was at a level to be trading and doing these high level raids w you guys lol

[keen sandal]

I mean, your Gardevoir can get involved in anything that's weak to Psychic or Fairy.

[neon dagger]

hampter at what part of the game are you

[neon dagger]

i mean

deepending on how the raid goes

1 can solo

or 1 dmg only is enough

then just taunt then like paralyze and lower def or sp def

get mons with good type coverage

and farm 5 star raids

or 6 star

[errant carbon]

I have finished the titan story and Pokémon league story

Just finishing up the team star stuff

I'm assuming that's then it and I can go to area zero?

[keen sandal]

ye

[neon dagger]

do not forget volcarona while breeding challange

[keen sandal]

wot

[errant carbon]

Huh?

[neon dagger]

flame body

[keen sandal]

Oh, I've been using my Talonflame for that.

[neon dagger]

ive always used volcarona

[errant carbon]

Breeding challenge

?

[keen sandal]

Mainly because I caught her at the very start of the game and she had the ability.

[neon dagger]

didnt pay much attention to talonflame

i am about to be ready

@keen sandal

[keen sandal]

aight

Same code

Fuecoco is 4/6; the Quaxly kinda sucks because I haven't done anything with IVs yet

[neon dagger]

unfortunatelymmy dreepies arent that good forn having 2 4iv parents

[keen sandal]

No worries

Anything else?

[neon dagger]

dont think so rn

still need to do evolutions/breed

[keen sandal]

All right

[neon dagger]

i think i need like 8 or 9 exclusives

[keen sandal]

I have so many surprise trades to do

Like, about two full boxes' worth

[errant carbon]

If anyone gets a magnemite or anything from that line with perfect ivs in Hp, spatk and both defenses please please please lemme have :)

I want low speed too

Weird I know

[keen sandal]

Gyro Ball?

How serendipitous. I want to grab another Auspicious Armour and my daily 6-star raid is right outside the town where you buy them.

[neon dagger]

thzis corviknight put up his shield, took all buffs, removed his debuffs and used iron shield in 1 turn

with taunting b4

[keen sandal]

I'm gonna guess Taunt counts as a debuff.

Also, I'm about 80% sure the raid mechanics don't count as turns.

6-star Electric Tauros. What could possibly go wrong?

[neon dagger]

i jsut got into a 5 star volcarona

praying for it to be good

which would be godlike

[keen sandal]

YOO

Someone just sent me an Iron hands in a surprise trade

It's sadly not great, but it's not like I can get them for myself.

[neon dagger]

ok rip persp

i randomly hit a tree on my way to a raid

applin

also whats with the eevees?

i got a 6 star poison torqoal here

[keen sandal]

There's an event on, boosting the spawn rates across all difficulties.

[neon dagger]

i love confusion

when my pokemon kills itself

[keen sandal]

I am now EV training my cracked Gible I hatched yesterday.

[neon dagger]

why are ppl waiting so long on a 4 star raid

this fucker got me up to

26k for razor claw

[neon dagger]

ok wait a sec

my first koraidons stas ara a bit sus

its a monster

has max ivs in 4 and 26-29 in the other 2

[errant carbon]

That and it's HA

[keen sandal]

This is the endpoint of my current project:

Current progress:

[calm brook]

wish home support was live so i could just transfer my bdsp one

[keen sandal]

Just used all my L and XL candies and she is now level 88 with 347 Attack.

If I could just find a Barboach to make an Earthquake TM...

[calm brook]

they live in da ponds

[keen sandal]

I've been looking in every pond I can see.

[keen sandal]

Holy fuck I hate the people who join six-star raids

One person brought an Azumarill to a Tyranitar. Now someone's brought a Meowscarada to a Tauros.

Meowscarada's great, but these things know Close Combat.

[calm brook]

ok the s/v story is EASILY in the top two of all the mainline games
i would still put gen 5 ahead of it
gyms and e4 needed more in s/v for me to consider it better than b/w
the towns/cities also didnt have much in terms of character/world building which is disappointing
but if there werent performance issues and the game was a bit harder this could genuinely have been the best mainline game

[errant carbon]

Yeah out of all the games I've played this is easily one of my faves

But I highly doubt a game will be made better than b/w / 2

[calm brook]

ayo shiny iron thorns looks sick

[errant carbon]

First time I saw that was when someone else used it in a raid

I thought it was a broken tyranitar 🤣

Iirc the normal version has very similar colours too tyran too

[calm brook]

ya

it's kinda meh but all the paradox mons have such high stats it's still good

i mainly want roaring moon and iron moth

also there are so many cracked ghost mons in this game

[errant carbon]

Is spiritomb in this game?

[calm brook]

yes

(it is not cracked)

[errant carbon]

Sadge

Bro how is penny's umbreon faster than my ev trained lvl 100 gardevoir

Unless baby doll eyes is a always go first move?

[calm brook]

i wonder

[safe wave]

Is it a priority move?

[calm brook]

She perhaps has six mons with that move

Was a problem since I used one mon for e4 and finishing game

[safe wave]

I have also yet to see a shiny and it makes me

[calm brook]

Oof

Ive gotten 4 in like 40 somethin hours

Scatterbug or w/e it's called, buizel, and two murkrows

And I have at least one shiny floatzel and honchkrow sitting in home so

Just traded em

[keen sandal]

It has priority, yeah

I also haven’t seen a single shiny except one that someone brought to a raid.

[neon dagger]

I randomly walked through a groupmof pokemons and thought, hey that one looka green

[neon dagger]

Pog 6 star raid with 2 ppl that know what theyre doing

But yikes they had a shiny iron valiant and the gimmighoul evolution

[neon dagger]

uhh

so wheres sandile hiding?

[neon dagger]

@keen sandal froslass kinda cracked for high tier raids

[keen sandal]

Really?

I would’ve thought she’d be too fragile

[neon dagger]

well she is fragile and i dont have that much in def and spdef

but that is sus

can just disabled multiple moves easiy

and moost ppl seem to get the setting up part by now

[errant carbon]

First shiny for me

Was running down area zero and thought I saw a weird coloured one, almost missed it lmao

[neon dagger]

damn hidden ability on haxorus kinda sucks

[keen sandal]

Ayy

Got an Ability Patch

That’s the last thing I needed for Perrserker

[errant carbon]

Well I'm done with main story

Have to say

Very good sorry

Story

[median nimbus]

I've been seeing ppl say it's either best or 2nd best so far

so at least they got that right

[errant carbon]

I think I'd put it second best, but very close to first

But gen 5 is still first imo

Story of gen 5 was incredibly good

Granted I haven't started the post game of this game yet

I doubt there will be as much to do in the post game as gen 5

But I do think they hit the nail on the head with this game, honestly incredible

[neon dagger]

if the game had better performance

[errant carbon]

I really never had an issue with the performance

Yes the frame rate seemed a bit low at times and sometimes that made NPC walk around a bit.. choppy but

It really didn't bother me tbh

[safe wave]

Yeah im in that same boat hammy

[neon dagger]

on a side note

there will be alot of 6 iv charizards soon

[median nimbus]

not the boomers, plz

[neon dagger]

?

[errant carbon]

It was limited to one catch per account right?

Or should I say will be limited to

[keen sandal]

Ye

You can fight it as many times as you want for loot, but only one catch

[neon dagger]

could be alot of loot

[keen sandal]

Probably

Not sure what I’ll use for it yet

Might get on the big server and try Perrserker strat

[neon dagger]

also were does the new dragon mon spawn?

[keen sandal]

The what

[neon dagger]

should be a steel dragon somewhere

baxcalibur

well its ice dragon

[keen sandal]

Oh

No idea

[errant carbon]

Woop whoop 5 star raids here I come

Got one for magnezone but no one's joining apparently

[median nimbus]

||The are no spawn locations for Baxcalibur in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet as it can only be acquired through the evolution of its previous forms.

Frigibax, Baxcalibur’s first evolution form is known to be found inside deep caves and snowy areas. You can find one early on, in the right part of Paldea as soon as you enter a sandy terrain. The northern region of the map is its spawn area.

You also have an almost guaranteed encounter through a Tera Raid, at the back of Glaseado Mountain. ||

there :p

[errant carbon]

Nvm I'm in one

Bruh it's really about to start a 5 star raid with 3 of us

[neon dagger]

so where did you copy that one from?

[median nimbus]

1st entry on google

[neon dagger]

i had to look on serebii anyways bc idk what it was called

[median nimbus]

I can try and find a more specific one, shouldn't take too long

[neon dagger]

adn ive seen a raid of him so ig ill go that route

glaseado mountin the first 2

[median nimbus]

it's really easy to find anything if you know how to look for it

[neon dagger]

yes

using google is very easy

[errant carbon]

Wehey first 5 star raid done

Time to see if this magnezone is what I want it to be

[median nimbus]

nice, whatcha got?

nvrmind

[errant carbon]

Yo

I got an ability capsule

Epic

2 comet shards and shit loads of exp

Nope not the stats I want

Too much speed still

[keen sandal]

Am I missing something? I’ve always known Azumarill to be shit, but I keep seeing people use it in 5 and 6-star raids and I can’t work out why

[neon dagger]

belly drum

[median nimbus]

isn't Azumarill a just tank with belly drum?

[keen sandal]

Yeah, I realised that right after I posted

[errant carbon]

So apparently garchomp can spawn on the mountain surrounding area zero 🤣

[keen sandal]

Not the only place

There’s a cave somewhere with a Tera Garchomp

[errant carbon]

That tera down the mountain was axew

But I was more shocked there's enough room for Pokémon to spawn up there, was barely enough room for me to stand

[calm brook]

yeah you can get a tera garchomp in the cave area south of the western desert

only like lvl 40 or 45 so not hard to catch

[errant carbon]

I'm just farming online raids

Eventfually I'll get good mons

And they're guaranteed catch so

[calm brook]

i havent done raids yet

going to finish dex today

[errant carbon]

Fair

My gardevoir with draining kiss is actually a champ on raids, no knock outs means no time lost which is epic, althought I did just lose a 5 star Eevee raid cus everyone on my time kept fainting but I barely went below half hp 🤣

[median nimbus]

[neon dagger]

i "could" finisg dex today

[median nimbus]

ayo?

[keen sandal]

You about now, Hammi?

I too wish to farm raids

[neon dagger]

farming raids is nice

the only version exclusive there actually is is the legendary

and paradox probably

[keen sandal]

Paradox Pokémon won’t show up in raids, but you can catch the ones from the other version if you Union Circle with someone who has it

[neon dagger]

well yeah

but for the rest you can just join some raids

[errant carbon]

I have to leave for work in 15 :(

If only speed and defense could swap :(((((

[errant carbon]

Tbf that's a cracked magnezone it anyone wants it lemme know

I've got a few good magnets now actually

Think that's the 4th one I've caught from a raid

[keen sandal]

Have any of you ever managed to get your Pokémon to stay still for a photo even once?

Mine just will not cooperate at all, either during a picnic or just normal gameplay

[errant carbon]

I'll be honest have not bothered with the pictures at all

[keen sandal]

This might be a dumb question, but did Deino always evolve at level 50? I could’ve sworn it used to be 48

[neon dagger]

for some reason i cant breed with baxcalibur

[median nimbus]

wah

[neon dagger]

had to actually go and get a breeding power to finally get one

man thats an ugly pokemon

[neon dagger]

pog i love when my game crashes randomy

[median nimbus]

lmao? what were you doing?

[neon dagger]

collecting stakes

[neon dagger]

So what should my last 2 mons be

[calm brook]

that is a wacky team idk

[errant carbon]

Woo back to raid farming

[calm brook]

[errant carbon]

By the time I get a Mon I want from these raids and with the stats I want I'll probably have enough stuff to boost it to full EVs lvl 100 straight away

Oh no I'm doing a 5 star with the 4th member being an ai auto gill

Fill

[keen sandal]

Oof

[neon dagger]

This guy really just uses garados vs luxray in a raid

[median nimbus]

I mean... I think you are overestimating the amount of braincells the usual pkmn player has

[neon dagger]

so i have 9 ability capsules rn and no idea what do to with them

and pog finally got spiritomb without killing itself

only had to bully it

[median nimbus]

lmao, nice

[neon dagger]

Thats something

[median nimbus]

ay, that's pretty good

[neon dagger]

i need to get me a scizor for mass murder

[median nimbus]

I'm sorry, that would sound way worse out of context

[errant carbon]

Have decided on another team member

Hydreigon

[neon dagger]

also for some reason im not getting eggs when breeding dittos

its time to find the guy that wants bottle caps

[calm brook]

are you trying to breed 2 dittos? bc that does not work

has to be ditto + another mon and depending on egg group it can take a while for the first egg to appear

[errant carbon]

Just did a raid and someone used a fucking shiny magikarp

[keen sandal]

Do you mean using a Ditto to breed other stuff or trying to make two Ditto breed together to make a new Ditto?

[median nimbus]

genius

[keen sandal]

Like Persp said, you can't have two Ditto fuck.

[median nimbus]

damn, can't have 2 bottms, you need a switch at least

[keen sandal]

If anything Ditto is the switchiest Pokémon of all. It will literally be anything for anyone.

[median nimbus]

I mean, to me that feels more like a bottom, just that it's willing to do power bottom to satisfy.

[neon dagger]

so what mon then for ditto

[keen sandal]

You can't.

It can't be bred.

[neon dagger]

unfortunate

[keen sandal]

To get one with better IVs your only real option is to keep looking for 5 and 6-star raids with them.

[neon dagger]

i got a 5 iv one

with everything but atk

[keen sandal]

Hey, same as mine.

[median nimbus]

F, kindof

[neon dagger]

also

where sunstone?

[keen sandal]

I don't know, but somehow I have 6.

[neon dagger]

before i loose my sanity in the pursuit of evolving gimmighoul

[keen sandal]

I'm gonna guess I got them from sparkles on the ground, but I don't know if there's an area where they're more common or anything.

[neon dagger]

im in the desert but stardust seems more common

can any1 help me evolve slowking and scyther?

[errant carbon]

Stones can drop from 5 star raids or above

I've got a couple from my raid grind

But most have come off the ground

[keen sandal]

Ye

I need to do my Haunter anyway

[neon dagger]

724225

do you have gholdengo btw?

[keen sandal]

Nope

[neon dagger]

unfortunate

[keen sandal]

I didn't even know until about two days ago that Gimmighoul evolved or that you could interact with the roaming ones scattered around to get coins.

[neon dagger]

after the 2 trade evos i only need 4 more with 2 being violet exclusive

[keen sandal]

Which ones?

[neon dagger]

kingambit iron moth iron thorns

[keen sandal]

Never mind. I don't have any of those

[neon dagger]

unfortunatel i havent gotten into a raid with kingambit

[keen sandal]

I mean, you can just evolve it.

[neon dagger]

ik but havent found the bisharp groups only solo ones

[keen sandal]

Ah

[neon dagger]

and i have a feeling that gimmighoul can respawn

ok they do respawn

[calm brook]

they spawn in the bamboo forest

also ya gimmi have like a 5% respawn chance per day

[neon dagger]

100 gimmighoul coins from one

[keen sandal]

The roaming Gimmighoul that just give you coins have a 50% chance to respawn, but you also get a load from catching or defeating Chest Form ones.

[errant carbon]

So my farming of raids has been netting quite a substantial amount of training items

[neon dagger]

i got a few mints

[errant carbon]

I also have a shit load of treasures to sell so I can buy whatever minds and ev items I need too lol

[neon dagger]

and a bit of money

[errant carbon]

I'd love to continue farming and potentiallly finally get a second Pokémon for my team

But no

Got to go back to the shit hole I work at

For another probably at least 10 hour shift

I just haven't been able to get a Mon with the stats I want which is sad

Ive caught maybe 5-6 tera magnezones now but all of them have high speed :(

And both deinos I've caught have been crap

Even though they were raid

Iirc they were both 2 star raids though so that probably explains it

I do have a handful of magikarps from raids so I might say fuck it and use a gyarados for my main team

I probably have a good Karp somewhere

[keen sandal]

Anyone got a Bruxish? I cannot find one to save my life.

Never mind

[neon dagger]

i wonder how long we have to wait for the expansion

pog shiny charm aquiered

[median nimbus]

give it at least half a year

most likely on the next festivities past xmas

[neon dagger]

easter perhaps

[median nimbus]

most likely

that, or whenev it's popularity has a major dip after 3 months by now

[neon dagger]

my koraidon just did like 5%dmg against a raidmon

at +6 attack

whilöe being super effective

[keen sandal]

What difficulty?

[neon dagger]

5 star

[keen sandal]

Well, they do have 15x more HP than standard.

[neon dagger]

werll yeah but

flare blitz with a max attack koraidon at lvl 100?

[keen sandal]

1. Flare Blitz doesn't get STAB here
2. What Pokémon are you fighting?
3. Is there rain?

[neon dagger]

it wasnt raining

it was bug type bc of tera

[keen sandal]

But what was it?

Like, what species?

[neon dagger]

claw something

[keen sandal]

Clawitzer?

[neon dagger]

yes

[calm brook]

weird

did the clawitzer have a stat buff to defense or somethin

[neon dagger]

Shouldnt have

Never used a move for that

[median nimbus]

maybe someone else used a debuff move?

[neon dagger]

Or it like, bugged

[median nimbus]

true

[neon dagger]

Bc without sun alone the attack wouldve killed a normalnone 6x

[keen sandal]

Thank fuck for backup saves.

[neon dagger]

Finally

12 capules 1 patch

[median nimbus]

L?

[errant carbon]

I think I do if you still need ? I'll check when I get home, can trade whenever youre free tomorrow

[keen sandal]

Nah, I managed to find one I few minutes after I posted that. Cheers though

[errant carbon]

Aight no worries

[keen sandal]

also for future reference i dont lead a very full life ill be free literally any time you are

[errant carbon]

Ah alright

Raid farm tomorrow yais?

[keen sandal]

Can do

Two uses of Swords Dance and my Garchomp killed a 5-star raid Falinks in one hit. Not sure how much damage I actually did, since it was already missing a little over a third of its health, but damn.

Probably had about 60% left and it all went in one go.

[neon dagger]

there are quite some sus things in this game

[keen sandal]

I mean, she's level 98 vs 75 for 5-star raid targets, and she has max IVs and EVs in Attack, with Adamant nature and used a super-effective STAB move.

Oooh. Six-star poison raid for me here. Let's see what it is

Gyarados. Hm.

[calm brook]

Poison quite funny tera type

[keen sandal]

This man

This fucking man

He brought a Clodsire

To a 6-star raid

[calm brook]

well

it could be worse ig

[errant carbon]

Work is incredibly boring

Why can't they send me home so I can play pokemon

😭

[keen sandal]

What time are you done?

[errant carbon]

2am

[keen sandal]

Oof

[keen sandal]

I am now able to one-shot 5-star raids from full health.

[errant carbon]

Jesus, what you using for that

[keen sandal]

Earthquake from a perfect Adamant Garchomp against opponents weak to Ground.

With Swords Dance setup

Swords Dance 3x then Earthquake. One hit if I have type advantage.

[errant carbon]

Noice

[keen sandal]

Motherfucker

I got stuck in a raid den after catching the Pokémon and had to shut down the game. I’ve lost about four hours of progress.

Even the backup is four hours old

Admittedly I’d pretty much just been doing raids, but that’s a lot of 4 and 5 IV Pokémon gone, and a fuck of a lot of items

[calm brook]

it didnt autosave for four hours?

[keen sandal]

I turned it off because some people were saying it improves performance (for me it does seem to)

[calm brook]

odd

[errant carbon]

I can't comment on if it improves performance I turned it off as soon as I started

Mainly incase it autosaved after choosing a starter

I reset until I got adamant starter

[keen sandal]

Understandable

[errant carbon]

Never turned it back on lol

However

I'm home

At last

[keen sandal]

On the plus side, I didn’t lose so much progress that I can’t one-shot 5-star raids. I can still do that, at least when I have favourable type matchups.

[errant carbon]

You love to see it

[keen sandal]

I’m just fucking annoyed. It was a 6-star Klawf that I was able to solo that I got stuck in

Turns out AI deaths don’t affect the timer at all, and Klawf is so shit that even at 6-star difficulty it never got my Garchomp’s health out of the green range

[errant carbon]

Are you just running around the map finding the raids to do them solo?

Or is there a way to launch them from the portal with ai?

[keen sandal]

Nah, to get AI you have to go to a den in your own game

And only one 6-star will ever spawn per day unless you mess with your Switch clock

Dens reset when the system clock strikes midnight

[errant carbon]

Ah right

Are portal 6 stars limited to 1 per day too?

[keen sandal]

Most of the raids I did were through the portal or the big Pokémon server, but for the Klawf one I figured I’d try it solo

[keen sandal]

No, those are unlimited

[errant carbon]

Noice

[keen sandal]

They also have a chance of being exclusives from the other game.

[errant carbon]

Oh shweet

[keen sandal]

Through the portal, that is

[errant carbon]

Can the iron Pokémon found in area zero spawn in raids?

[keen sandal]

A den from your own game will only ever contain stuff normally obtainable in your game, and sadly never Paradox Pokémon

[errant carbon]

That's a big rip

Kinda want some high iv iron mons just cus

[keen sandal]

Hyper training and mints are all you can do for those

Oh, not just cus. Iron Hands is one of the best for raids.

Perrserker seems to be the best if all four players are using it (with HA and proper stats) and know the correct sequence of actions, but Iron Hands and Azumarill are excellent choices otherwise

The box legendaries also go hard if the raid Pokémon doesn’t have coverage for them.

[errant carbon]

I haven't got and legendaries yet

I'll be honest I completely forgot about them

Not that I know what they are or how to get them lol

Oof Eevee event over

I caught a shit load of raid Eevee lmao

Haven't checked stats of any of them yet but I'm sure there's a handful of good ones

5 star tyranitar

Have a feeling I'm gonna get stomped

Meh we got it to 1/3 of its health

But yeah stomped lol

[calm brook]

I got a few 4 iv eevees but only played today

Good enough to jumpstart breeding for shinies

[errant carbon]

Ayo just caught a 5 star Salamence

Time to see if it's cracked

I'm depressed

[neon dagger]

Just got 2 ability patches from.one raid

[errant carbon]

Noice

I've easily got over 300k in treasures lmao

[errant carbon]

I have a three star ditto raid in the portal but it's not letting me join :(

I'm in

Epic

[median nimbus]

lmao

[errant carbon]

Wehey ditto is mine

[errant carbon]

Still too much speed lnfao

Also not 31 in spdef so rip

[errant carbon]

So it has used essentially all my items however look at that for a fully trained gyarados

[keen sandal]

I don’t want to alarm anybody

But Mega Evolution might be coming back with the DLC

Take with a grain of salt, because this is just an implication from a leaker and not a statement, but the leaker in question has gotten a LOT of stuff right before

[calm brook]

Ur gonna have to breed for low speed most likely

[neon dagger]

@keen sandal do you have the strat for meowth?

[keen sandal]

If you mean Perrserker:
What you need to get started
A Perrserker Pokemon. You can acquire a Galar Form Meowth from Salvadore in Naranja/Uva Academy. Reach Level 28 to evolve into Perrserker.
Steely Spirit Hidden Ability: All Perrserker gain this Hidden Ability. Gives +50% to Steel-Type moves for this Pokemon and all allies.
Metal Coat Hold Item: Increases Steel-Type moves even more.
Taunt Move: Unlocked at Level 20.
Screech Move: Unlocked at Level 36.
Iron Head Move: Unlocked after evolving into Perrserker.
If you have all this, you’ll be ready to fight in any raid. When playing with four Perrserkers, there’s a general strategy most players are using to crush the Tera Raid extremely quickly. Here’s a short rundown of the strat that can take down high-level Tera Pokemon in three turns.

Perrserker | Tera Raid Turn Order
Turn 1: First trainer uses Taunt so the Tera Pokemon can only use attack moves. No status effects. Other three trainers use Screech. This lowers the Tera Pokemon’s defense as low as possible.
Turn 2: Use the “Go All Out!” cheer to boost attack power.
Turn 3+: After that, everyone uses Iron Head for the rest of the raid.

[neon dagger]

ive seen one with helping hands

[keen sandal]

This gets the target to -6 Defense and all players to +4 Attack (which is a 12x increase to the stat-based part of the damage calculation), then a 5.4x multiplier on top of that—assuming neutral matchups—which all four players benefit from when they attack on turn 3.

[keen sandal]

Helping Hand is objectively worse; one player gets the result I just described, with an extra 3.375x multiplier. With everyone attacking the total damage output is 19% higher than the Helping Hand approach.

But, if you're interested, the setup for it is the same, except for turn 3 onwards the host become the sole attacker and everyone else uses Helping Hand each turn before the attacker selects his move.

[neon dagger]

yeah but the raidmon will use his effects after the 1st one most liekyl

[keen sandal]

Nah, you almost always get two or three turns before it starts with its shenanigans.

[neon dagger]

depends on the networking

it can also lock you out of attacking for 2 turns

[keen sandal]

Either way, if everyone has the same set of buffs, three Helping Hands into one attack is a 237.5% increase (3 50% increases stacking multiplicatively), or a little more than triple, compared to four individual attacks quadrupling total output.

[neon dagger]

thats said if you can get 4 attacks in

this requires analysation

and testing

[keen sandal]

Also, if the host gets locked out, which happens to me a lot, you get no damage at all.

[neon dagger]

but getting locked out happends when the raid triggers the raidmon abilities

[keen sandal]

Not always. I've had instances where, as the host, I've sat there unable to select anything while the other players take several turns each and the raid Pokémon does nothing.

No shield, no stat wipes, nothing.

I've also had times where my attack goes through, the animation plays and PP is consumed, but no damage is applied, even with super-effective Swords Dance-d attacks.

[neon dagger]

yeah but with only the host doing dmg the raid wont go to shit immedialty

and it also depends on how much is needed to kill the raidmon

haha

shit game

3 attacks of my +6atk life orb korraidon 0 dmg

this raid is me spamming sworddance and doing no dmg while my teammates die 10 time and just attacking randomly

[keen sandal]

Raids are a great idea (I know they're not new to SV, but you know what I mean) let down by piss-poor implementation.

[neon dagger]

ppp

" " used rain dance

[keen sandal]

Oh, btw, the Shell Bell is absolutely cracked for 5 and 6-star raids because of how much damage you can do.

[neon dagger]

but does it outheal the flare blitz recoil

[keen sandal]

No.

I would recommend not using recoil moves when deaths are so punishing.

[errant carbon]

The Salamence I got from a 5 star raid only had 6 speed ivs, I will be able to get one with low speed it's just luck lol , but if I get to a point of being able to breed high IVs before I get one from a raid I'll do it lol

[neon dagger]

iv training intensiefies

[calm brook]

i mean technically you can get one from a raid but you have better chances from breeding

get a bagon/one of its evos with 0 speed ivs and breed with high iv ditto

[neon dagger]

i could do a bit of breeding bc 5 iv ditto

[calm brook]

i should get a ditto soon but zzzzz

[errant carbon]

I just got a 4iv ditto

[keen sandal]

I have like three 5 IV Ditto now

Even 6-stars are free if the host knows how Ditto works, so you might as well join them for the loot if nothing else

[neon dagger]

i could troll ppl with my gallade

[neon dagger]

its may be technician scizor time again

[calm brook]

He do be good

[neon dagger]

ik

and with technician i just get a ton of ~90dmg attacks

although i still miss a 3rd with 30pp base

ant i think i could just not use false swipe on it

but i do want to change my gallade a bit

bc a 5iv one is a bit overkill for just catching some shit tier mons

with heal pulse taunt thunderwave false swipe

[errant carbon]

Well got a third Mon fully trained now

Hydreigon is my newest member

[errant carbon]

Has anyone tried any of the shrine legendaries yet?

[calm brook]

ya

have you not

they all good tbh

ting lu spdef goes hard

chien pao v good

wo chien good in raids

chi yu kinda funky tho

[keen sandal]

Do not use Wo-Chien in a raid unless all players are using special attackers

Its ability affects allies as well as opponents, so if someone has a physical attacker you’re gimping them with Wo-Chien

[calm brook]

oh ya ting lu does same for spatk

but as long as ppl are stacking right mons they are very good

this ting lu stats

[errant carbon]

Huh nice

But no I don't even have them yet

I'll be honest completely forgot the shrines existed

Was too hell bent on getting good mons from raids 🤣

[calm brook]

raids

wish there was high level pve in this game

was bw2 the last time they had any

ace tournament has no mons over 72

and no battle tower to equalize levels

also apparently you can redo the alfornada gym test for ev decreasing berries so gotta see if that is efficient at all

why is orthworm in the 6 star pool

and pinchurchin and tauros

[errant carbon]

Bc They're totally really hard mons

had to, sorry :p

[errant carbon]

Tbh yeah

Nothing worse than watching a cutscene (or the closest Pokémon has to offer) but having to read text at the same time

[calm brook]

i just dont use sound

[errant carbon]

Tbf there are times I have sound off but most of the time I have it on quietly

[median nimbus]

I mean

I just think that the vid demonstrates that's better to have it and not hear that, than to not have it

[neon dagger]

man why is sylveon so cute

[median nimbus]

it's a cool mon

a very cool one

[neon dagger]

only 3iv unfortunate

[median nimbus]

aw, still

[neon dagger]

it has a few special moves

pschic calm mind hyper beam fake tears

[keen sandal]

Hold up

The shrine legendaries' abilities apparently stack.

[neon dagger]

double edged sword though

[keen sandal]

This means in principle you could get the raid Pokémon's Defence or Special Defence reduced by 100% (as well as your whole team's), which would... result in division by 0 in the damage calculations.

I kinda wanna try this

[neon dagger]

is it a flat 25% reduction?

[keen sandal]

ye

Oh shit.

The abilities don't affect Pokémon with them.

As in

[neon dagger]

nani?

[keen sandal]

If you have two Chien-Pao (for example), the one that lowers Attack, your Chien-Pao won't affect your friend's and vice-versa.

[neon dagger]

then question rather is how does it get calculated

[keen sandal]

Rather than "affect everyone except myself", the abilities seem to be coded as "affect everyone that doesn't have this ability."

[neon dagger]

isd it 100 - 25% = 75
75 -25% = ...

[keen sandal]

Which also means I ought to apologise for correcting Persp last night when he said Wo-Chien is a good pick.

[neon dagger]

or is it 100 - 25%-25% etc

[keen sandal]

Steely Spirit, which boosts Steel moves for you and your allies, is additive. I would assume these work the same way.

[neon dagger]

idk

and for +% its a bit diffrent

[keen sandal]

But then, most modifiers are multiplicative, so I don't know.

[neon dagger]

since you would benefit even more

but with deducting 25%

every time it stacks it gets less and less

[keen sandal]

All I can say for sure is that, according to Bulbapedia, it "reduces (stat) by 25%."

[neon dagger]

but donno how it stacks

[keen sandal]

Either way, it's separate from stat stages, so even if it does work multiplicatively the target is down to less than 32% of its base in whatever stat you're affecting the second the battle begins.

[neon dagger]

not like around 40%?

isnt it effectifely -25% , -15%, -12%?

why did i think of 5

if its 25%

brainrot

[keen sandal]

No, it's definitely 31.640625% if you have the same ability four times.

Assuming it stacks multiplicatively, that is. If it stacks additively... I'm pretty sure the game would break.

[neon dagger]

idk

oh

yes

power * a/d

that might break

but maybe

[keen sandal]

Well, if it is additive, you get a 100% reduction. If you're reducing Atk or Sp. Atk, that just means every attack from the raid Pokémon will do 2 damage, multiplied by type effectiveness.

[neon dagger]

ok arceus still has atk * def

[keen sandal]

If you reduce Def. or Sp. Def., you would get a division by 0 when the game calculates how much damage you deal.

[neon dagger]

ik

i have the formula infront of me

and i jsut paid 30k for some berries

[keen sandal]

If anyone's interested in how I got the "attacks will do 2 damage), here:

[neon dagger]

arceus would be 0

[keen sandal]

If A=0, the fraction in the big brackets is 0 and the whole thing is 2. If D=0, it can't do the calculation

[neon dagger]

i dont think you have to explain it that much

[keen sandal]

shrug

[neon dagger]

but pog i can finally do all my evs correctly

but about that above

we could just test it

and see what happens

which would be way better then theorizing

[keen sandal]

ye

Speaking of, I should probably go catch the other three. I've only got Wo-Chien so far.

[neon dagger]

gotta get that shiny charm

hmm combee outbreak

cant wait for male shiny

[keen sandal]

wot

You can't get 0 in the Arceus formula unless you somehow have negative stats.

Or I guess if everything lines up so that you get less than 1 damage total, at which point it would round down.

[neon dagger]

well anyways

i got a 6 star dark tauros

[neon dagger]

what is this raid

3 iron hands as teammates but they have no hands

and deal no dmg at all

and dying

while the umbreon spamms tickle

[calm brook]

huh

[neon dagger]

isnt fantastic like 1 point before best for ivs?

[keen sandal]

ye

[neon dagger]

bx then i got a cracked blissey

5iv + fantastic

[keen sandal]

"Pretty good" is 16-25, "very good" is 26-29 and "fantastic" is 30.

Assuming they're using the same ranges as previous generations, at least.

[errant carbon]

You guys seems people are kicking off and getting refunds on scarlet / violet

Apparently people think the game is too buggy and the performance is that bad

And also trying to say the game feels incomplete

And Nintendo are actually issuing refunds

[keen sandal]

To be fair, I have seen footage of it performing much worse for people than it has been for me.

[errant carbon]

Hmm

Just don't get how It can be worse for some people

[keen sandal]

I don't either, but I saw a video of someone throwing a Poké Ball and half the world just disappeared and the frame dropped so much it would be better measured in seconds-per-frame rather than frames-per-second.

[errant carbon]

Jesus Christ

[keen sandal]

If it were a PC game it would make a bit more sense, considering the vast range of hardware configurations people have, but yeah.

[errant carbon]

Perhaps these people getting shit performance are on the switch lite ?

Idk

[calm brook]

I have encountered the pain of bad raid teammates

Havent failed any yet bc no 6 stars but

[keen sandal]

Just wait.

I had someone bring a Dragonite to a Fairy raid, though I don't remember what the Pokémon was.
