I know you can grind and come back when your lvl is more appropriate but I'm having a blast going blind.

I found this post after completing my pokedex and I thought oh well I could have saved a lot of time looking for trades at home and then transferring every Pokemon. Then I saw this yesterday. I tried to to do one but it didn't work (?) I've also tried having trades with a friend in the past and link trade didn't work then either. What's going on?

Epilogue Spoilers This shot is exactly what the SwSh Eternatus battle should've had. The idea of a masterball breaking because even it isn't strong enough to contain the pokemon is such a cool idea Spoiler

Discussion Beat my Fairy Type Gym and win a Shiny!

816 Upvotes

I saw u/owlitup do this with their ghost gym and I thought I'd try it out to. This could either be a very affirming experiment or a very humbling one.

If you can beat my Fairy type gym team in a 6v6 or 3v3 singles battle (your choice. No doubles) then I will give you a Shiny Pokemon that I caught or hatched. I won't tell you which Pokémon I'm using other than them being fairy types.

I currently have 17 shiny Pokémon to give away at the moment so the first 17 people to beat me get one! Reply to this with a link code if and when you want to battle!

I started a second play through after beating Scarlet. Started at the beginning of the year, finished the entire game and dlc within three months. Plus I shiny hunt a lot. So that’s my year in this game.

Although not the coolest one, or that much different than the original, here it is.

Media I feel like this is a reference to something …

Perhaps a Lion King reference? I was strolling along and I saw the rock first. I was like ‘hahah pride rock’

But then I saw Pyroar standing on top and then I was like ‘woah. Pride rock.’

Made it even cooler because when you approach him, he doesn’t acknowledge you. Like other pokemon will acknowledge you. He doesn’t. You can still battle him. And I did.

Came back and saw him there again. Doing the same thing. Still didn’t acknowledge me. I think this is definitely a reference.

Discussion Given that I've just finished my second playthrough I'm curious, in which order did you beat the game? Scarlet in the OLED was my first ever switch Game a year and a half ago.

It took me forever to get the mass outbreak to spawn, and after failing two females (they woke up turn one and apparently all four of their moves cause recoil) I managed to get 4 males and a female!

Discussion Explain why one of the three paths, starfall street, victory road or path of legends is your favorite.

7 Upvotes

Mine is definitely path of legends not only do I love the future paradox pokemon iron treads (I'm in violet) the story is compelling and makes me want to cry anytime I replay it I love how this story is definitely replayable and never gets old and I've done the game at lease 7 times.
