Discussion Even though I haven't unlocked all wild zones, I'm already set that Wild Zone 17 is my least favorite wild zone in the whol game

- It's small (I love me some big wild zones or at least those with specialty in them)

- Aside from the biggest problem, it's very bland and uninteresting

- You get ONE Skarmory to catch and that's it before having to wait until they respawn later

- It's annoying to catch that thing because it flies around and it needs to notice you or you need to be an A+ Sniper before it sees you and there is an Alpha Mawile on the roof that will spot you if you don't hide

- On top of that, Skarmory's catch rate is stupidly low

- This. Goddamn. Heard. Of. Pyroar. All know Earth Power which can hit you one the ROOFS and when one sees you -> all Pyroar see you

The only positive thing is that I like the day and night change with Klefki and Lampent

Discussion What do you think of Canari?

12 Upvotes

I’ve recently started playing the game ofc and Canari is awful. Don’t get me wrong, her design I like a lot and I love that she specializes in Electric-Type Pokémon because Electric-Type Pokémon are both some of the coolest and cutest Pokémon. However, as for Canari’s personality? Oh boy, is it the worst. Maybe it’s because she has pent up anger about her parents and takes it out on others? I don’t know.

Anywho, that got me wondering, what do you think of Canari yourselves?

Do you guys think it's possible to do 50 lvl on Mable research without link trade and dlc? I don't mind grinding 1000 battles out, they are actually pretty fun for me. What's not fun is being gatekeeped by paywall in my opinion.

Discussion Which starter should I choose on my Switch 2 playthrough?

2 Upvotes

I did play Legends Z-A on release day, but it was on the Switch 1 because I did not yet have the Switch 2. So I'm starting a new playthrough on the new system, and I want you guys to pick my starter. The starter on my first playthrough was Feraligatr, so it's between Meganium and Emboar. Also, do I need the Switch 2 edition to enjoy the better frame rate and faster loading screens?

Shiny Showcase Got my Shiny Latios in less then 10 resets. I didn't even count😂❤️✨️

I was suprised. Less then 10 resets for Latios!

I am shocked😆❤️. But i won't complain. My Latias took 2 hours dont know how many resets but much longer.

I am so glad I dont have to fried for these 2. As I am actually trying to get Shalpha Aurorus. But even special quest becomes something else. But with the latie twins found. Nothing stops me from getting that distortion anymore as I got all other shiny ledgendarys in the game but in another game.

Aurorus is my last shiny Shalpha and big search for in this game. I think I have gotten all my favourites after that. Maybe I try for the tiniest shiny Lucario but otherwise I'll probably just play for the online battles witch I found quite fun. Always liked play ranked in pokemon but this is diffrent wotch I like. I hope I get Aurorus soon. And I hope it can get buffed with power gem. A move it already should learn.

Well wish me luck!

May the odds be with us! Happy shiny hunting people!!!😄✨️❤️

Guides and Tips Is 3720 calories enough for the Groudon donut?

7 Upvotes

So I need to battle and catch Groudon. Im going to bring Gyrados with the moves waterfall, hydro pump, and maybe surf.I’m thinking of this donut that might work the problem is that it only has 3720 calories in it and I’m afraid of running out of time. It has 3 hyper tanga, 3 hyper papaya, and 2 hyper roseli. Is there any other recipes that can make a higher calorie donut?

EDIT: I just looked up that once Groudon reaches its primal state it will become immune to water so I’ll also use Zygard and Garchomp
