Pokémon Scarlet - Pokémon Violet (November 18, 2022) [NSW]

Edit: Nevermind, got it covered

The direct comparison to Arceus is just sad. This gives me Monster Hunter vibes except in reverse. B Team got it right, A Team fucked it up.

Anyone with Scarlet? I'm looking for Skrelp and Flutter Mane, offering Clauncher and Iron Jugulis (or whatever else you might need from Violet) + touch trading legendaries for dex entry

[Tyrath]

Haven't bought either game yet but question. How rare are paradox forms? 1 per game or just a regular exclusive to each version?

[Gokulo]

With the exception of one, which can be caught early game, the rest is only available in the end game area, but they're not rare there - there's a ton of some, while one or two only spawn in certain areas of the zone, but overall not that rare

[Tyrath]

Oh cool. I was torn on the version because I wanted Scarlet initially but saw paradox tyranitar was violet exclusive. But if theres more than 1 I might stuck to Scarlet. Thanks!

Not watching the whole thing, but the Arceus team didn't get it right, that game also had tons of issues (especially visually). They built a bigger game without fixing those flaws in the foundation which just exasperated them.

Shame this game is such a fucking mess on the technical side of things becasue the actual meat and potatoes is a lot of fun.

Game is fun as fuck. Started playing yesterday, thinking I'll do a gym or two, ended up spending like 6 hours just catching pokemon, doing tera raids and filling out my dex

pretty much sums it up perfectly tbh

[Serra]

Spent like twelve hours traveling this week and was able to spend a good deal of time on this game. Finally engaging with the endgame, doing raids, capturing paradox mons, and filling out my dex, so if anyone with Scarlet needs anything, I should have things to trade.

Also started looking into building a comp team (super annoyed they haven't announced the rules with the first season starting in a few days), and is there no Pokejobs option for EV training..?

[Gokulo]

Nope, you can just buy vitamins at the store, although that's quite an expensive option. All power items for EV training are also available at the Delibird store.

welp found my first racist piece of shit in this game, lol. it was in a surprise trade. the pokemon had a name that was the n-word but using different spelling to avoid the filter (I'm not going to repeat it because ew)

smh this is why we can't have anything nice

[Serra]

So you need to be quick entering the numbers, but I used this site to get a six IV Ditto last night.

If you're lucky, the raid starter will lead with something easy and make the raid a breeze.

[Serra]

So I guess they eliminated the items needed to get baby pokemon.

In any case, I've got a few extra high IV, huge power Azurill if anyone needs one before the Charizard event starts tomorrow.

Or if you don't mind training it yourself there's a Fairy Tera type Azumarill with Huge Power you can catch swimming in the lake NW of the map.

[Serra]

Welp, I feel like I wasted some time then >.>;

I haven't actually EV trained it yet, so maybe I'll use the second as a comp mon.

[Serra]

Ranked series 1 rules finally announced -- no legendaries or paradoxes allowed (woo!).

Not home atm, so not sure about the rewards yet.

[Gokulo]

There's a new Mystery Gift with some sandwich ingridients:

[Gokulo]

Well, Charizard is easier than expected. Doesn't have any egg moves that would make him annoying. Just fire, dragon and flying. Soloe'd on 2nd try with the fairy type Azumarill I mentioned above and shell bell. Needed some luck to avoid hurricane after belly drum because otherwise it would kill me. After surviving belly drum play rough just makes short work of him
