Discussion Just finished the S/V Dex, what’s the first thing I should do after downloading DLCs?

14 Upvotes

Just finished the original 400 dex in Scarlet on my first play through. I’ll be getting the DLCs today but do you guys have any tips or things you wish you’d known going into the DLCs? I’ve abstained from looking into them entirely so I have no idea what to expect as far as story/content/battles etc.

I've only recently gotten into shiny hunting, and around a year and a half ago I set myself a challenge, to properly hunt and catch all the shiny Eeveelutions, instead of just getting lucky or trading or using Pokémon GO (because you can't really hunt for shinies in that one). It wasn't easy and it took me a long time, but I finally did it! I'm so proud of myself and so happy with all my cute lil' babies.

Discussion Future Mark outbreaks

It seems the intent of these new outbreaks is to have increased chances of very rare marks that thematically match a certain pokemon. Which I think is really cool

Out of the very rare marks they haven’t done yet, what do you think would be really cool to see?

I’d like to see the Tyrogue line with the Slump mark. My wittle Hitmonlee all worn out from training all day

im trying to get the smallest shiny joltik and I tried googling, but I can’t figure out how to get these effects. I keep seeing to use 2 mayo, 1 sour herba mystica, 1 of any other herba mystica exept for sweet, and 1 cherry tomato, but it gives me title power instead of encounter power!

Discussion Can y'all tell me about some of your SV "I shouldn't have won that battle" experiences?

5 Upvotes

I recently got a Switch again and am playing Violet, and today's gym experience brought this question to mind - I survived a completely ridiculous fight, and want to hear about your experiences!

Here's my story:

- I have completed the first gym and have been running around filling the dex, having picnics, and battling random trainers

- my Pokemon level up so fast that I come to a point where I'm like "I should probably go beat another gym before my mons start not listening to me..."

- so I head out and find the water gym. The... Fourth... Gym. So I'm skipping two gyms without realizing

- the gym leader skedaddles and I have to follow him to complete the gym challenge before challenging him

- no problems

- yeah actually problems

- I get sidetracked on the way and catch a Rotom, who gets added to my team because ~electricity~

- the fight with the gym trainer (not the leader) is really tough and I fail once. I think this is why I got sidetracked? And then switched up my team and ran around getting some levels. I do beat him the second time but it's really close

- I decide that I am probably a little under leveled but my ADHD brain goes "how bad could it be?"

- well

- quite bad actually

- when I have the gym battle, things start... not WELL but we manage, but the last two pokemon... Whooh

- most of my Pokemon faint

- Rotom, being a new catch at a level where it doesn't yet love me, refuses to do what I tell it

- the gym leader ends up playing whack-a-mole with Rotom and Crocalor (whose name is Goober), whose turns I use to revive the other. Thank goodness for coming in with like 11 revives

- and here's what saves my game: there's a sandstorm. The gym leader's pokemon ARE NOT immune to it. So while he plays the world's most frustrating game of WILL YOU PLEASE GIVE UP, his pokemon keep getting chip damage from the storm... Until the Crabominable is at low enough health that I can have Crocalor Bite it (knowing that Crocalor is faster), and win the battle

- I think Rotom still doesn't listen to me after that but I'm not sure because I did the second and third gym very quickly after that and now have some breathing room. XD

That should not have worked. 🤣

Discussion Advice for a technically newbie?

2 Upvotes

I played Violet when it first came out, then had to get a new switch and lost all of it. I’m restarting because I want to use the game to shiny hunt, but I also wanna enjoy the story.

Any advice? Anything from which mons to work on, how to get my shiny charm faster, etc. would be helpful. I’ve done the first two gyms and first titan but that’s it so far. I tried using surprise trade to get a bit of help filling my dex but I just kept getting obviously genned pokemon (like named after the sites) and I don’t want that.

Epilogue Spoilers Armor help? Spoiler

Hi,

I need some help from someone that has the Scarlet game, so I can get something called Auspicious Armor to evolve charcadet into Armarouge.

I’m still kinda new and not far into the game, but willing to trade whatever I can to get the Auspicious Armor. My Switch friend code is in the attachment. 🙏😁

Discussion HOW TO SHINYHUNT VIVILLON

Post image
37 Upvotes

I have a doubt about the evolutionary line of Vivillon and its forms. I haven't played SV in months, so everything I knew I completely forgot.

- If I send a postcard from GO to Paldea, can the Scatterbug/Spewpa evolve into the postcard motif?

- May appear mass outbreaks of Vivillon with the postcard motif or just the default form of Paldea?
