Yea Shiny hunting is SO easy this Gen. It's going to be really sad when they remove sandwiches next gen. Like a full living Dex of shinies sounds doable in a decent amount of time.

[SashaDevachelli]

This sounds masochistic but I hate how easy they’ve made shiny hunting tbh. I will always enjoy the reward more of hunting in a game with 1/8192 odds it feels more memorable. Also I hate how they keep shiny locking starters and legendaries it’s ridiculous

The post-game is boring. I did the gym rematches, the tournament, and caught the sub-legendaries. I don't like the raid battles this gen, so I don't feel compelled to spend hours doing them and showing off my Pokémon like I did in SwSh. I still have my Violet copy as well, so I do plan on doing a replay with Quaxly, eventually. The DLC can't come soon enough

A random shiny Mudbray spawned today

Idk **** about competitive, but he’s been so good during my playthrough from the very beginning.

I've just finished with the mains story. WOW Area Zero is amazing! The score as well omg, the way it merges a more traditional style with digital synths, a SERVE! The ending was great and I grew very fond of the main cast, not a single bad/annoying character, I fear. 

 

Now I will build my half Ghost mono team to take on the Gyms and Academy Tournament. I'm having such a good time with the game I don't want it to end. 

 

Appletun was most useful for the very last match, because it didn't really do much outside of Rika. 

 

Ceruledge and Kingambit were amazing, both pulled off so many sweeps!  Tinkaton was nice as well for Fake Out + Stealth Rock + Gigaton Hammer and being a general tank. Tauros was invaluable mainly for Intimidate and demolishing things with Close Combat. Actually didn't use Belinda (Baxcalibur) that much either, but when I did she was definitely very strong and helped me with some clutches. Loved the team overall.

 

I'm gonna go Annihilape + Dragaputa + Gholdengo + Dudunsparce + Iron Valiant + Ting Lu for the rest of the battles (and may God help me with finding those stakes ).

So I’ve done all gyms and just finished the last titan, I have only the last Team Start base to raid. After that’s done, is there any order for the league/the lab/whatever team start endgame is?

Tailwind, Chlorophyll to max speed + a drought rapid spin stealth rock Torkaol, sleepowder and Uturn, into Intimidate Mabo that taunts & a Dragonite to pair and also keep tailwind active, I think could work as a strategy? 
 

I dunno I’m crap at competitive, but I like being able to beat teams with unconventional mons I like, instead of the same copy+paste.

Not Nintendo finally stepping in

[johnzy13]

You know it’s bad when Nintendo has to actually get involved. 

[Magickarp]

This was an update that was always gonna happen today regardless of bugs

• Season 1 of Ranked Battles will kick off, allowing you to enjoy Ranked Battles through the Battle Stadium.
• An issue has been fixed that caused the music to not play correctly during the battles with the Elite Four and the Top Champion in the Victory Road path.
• Other select bug fixes have been made.

Sum tells me it won't be all that  They fixed a major E4 ruining bug that many of us encountered, but the FPS stuff? Doubt, but we will see  

[Jessie Mulay]

Charizard tomorrow

 

I hope they don't fix the dupes tho please !!

[artc0cx]

They better pull through with a good update, they literally made $600,000,000 the first three days of release 

 

I got my shiny Azumarill ready for the Charibitch

[Desire]

Mess I need to finish post game to unlock the raid  I don't even like the overrated fat lizard but still must obtain ha for the special mark  

[Magickarp]

+ the best, the worst by FAR

 

 

I'm still not over how hard they ****** over  i knew Shelter was never gonna be as broke, but IRON DEFENSE?!  

Is2g if queen isn't OU come 2023, GF better watch out.

Hunting for these damn coins is terrible, F*CK the GF employee who decided we needed 999 to evolve Gimmighoul 

[UnusualBoy]

I caught a shiny Finizen, sadly is female but a shiny is a shiny! Now just need to evolve ha!

[Magickarp]

Make It Rain's JP name Gold Rush >>>

 

 

 

Population Bomb in JP can both mean "multiplying like rats" and "rat cut" explaining why it's Sharpness boosted  

Love the lore tbh, not it being a literal orgy

I thought that too but just go to the sky towers/ruins where Ghimmighoul spawn, you get like 40-60 per kill.
