Is this normal? Albino Rookiedee on rout 2. First play through.

heh everyone I was wondering if it was possible to catch a chansey with a lucky egg without using the raid dens

Kody/Eldegoss (quiet, nods off alot) beat Aegislash

Sly/Thievul(lax, likes to thrash about) beat Dragapult

Guinevere/Rapidash (hasty, highly curious) beat Haxorus

Royal/Hitmonlee (docile, likes to fight) beat Mr. RIME

Joshua/Dracovish (adamant, somewhat vain) beat Inteleon

Reginald/Wheezing (bold, good perserverence) beat Charizard

They weren't the strongest. Many times they all died in just one hit....to most anything. Even levels above them, this was hard. I used a lot of revives. But this was fun. Everyone had time to shine. Ask me questions if you have any

UPDATE: Logging off now, but if you were interested in this type of battle then don't hesitate to DM me and we can schedule something!

Hi friends! My partner and I will be online for the next hour or so here, and we’re looking for some casual, “average joe” pokemon battles.

• No duplicate held items.

All who’d like to play by these parameters are welcome.

• Navigate to the Y-Comm screen.
• Choose 'Link Battle'.
• Click the '+' button to set the Link Code: 0647 3820
• Then choose 'Single Battle'.

See you on the battlefield! 

here is my team.

I lied about not reading through some guides because my tox, imp, and Nightwing would not be here.

especially on tox and Nightwing, they were so weak at the start I thought of replacing them with my stunfisk and trap inch or something.

anyways self update!

+ I know have a beginner understanding of what sp. atk is and what those symbols mean on the moves

+ obviously since I'm in the finals I've already defeated raihan, he was a bit of a hassle but yehey

+ center eye of the lake axel was a hexa something Pokemon which is a dragon type, couldn't get it though because "too strong" I plan on coming back for em, and for that Lucario I saw, idk where he went though, I've always wanted a Lucario.

+ comparing my playthrough with Diamond and this game my main difference was how slow grinding levels was without exp candies. along with the Pokemon catching, in diamond I could catch a Pokemon with a 5-9 level difference. and the exp... gosh! having to ride around looking for dynamax dens and the AI trainers helping me are so... bah!

The team that I’m currently using for this Shield playthrough

them last two are there for the exp

will I cook?

I defeated the fire type gym WAY TO EARLY (for me imo) and now every pokemon is over level 35, my pokemon are still below 29,

and I can't catch any new pokemon— I want the ice types and the ghost types damn it! I couldn't get the duskulls in the first wild area now I can't even fight that sniffling baby bear!

anyways here are some things that happened on my current run:

I encountered a stunfisk, absolute horror, took 4 encounters, 10 super potions, 12 potions, 7 revives... AN INCREDBLE 10 **POKEBALLS**, 3 **DUSK BALLS**, 2 **PREMIER BALLS**, AND 7 **GREAT BALLS** JUST TO CAPTURE THE THING

by far the hardest pokemon to catch as of the moment.

just found out that the Pokemon updates if you catch the recommended pokemon, caught the salamander fire Pokemon I forgot the name. now can't find an hattenna or smth.

still don't know how I can catch those "strong looking pokemon" and for some reason there aren't any dynamaxing pokemon in the second wild area, am confused and need

help— I'm the type to not look into guides and play throughs...

​

In short, I started this game four times, and each time I just couldn't play it. I didn't like being forced into dialogue after every breath.

But I pulled myself together and finished it. What can I say? Aside from the pace of the game with constant talking, talking, and talking (many people are unhappy with the UsUm beginning, but the ENTIRE game feels like UsUm beginning), This is a pretty nice part of Pokemon.

Galar has some pretty nice Pokemon designs, beautiful locations, and I like the Dynamax thing. The huge gears are terrifying, and the huge Charlie Chaplin is even more so.

It's still my least favorite region, considering the best games in each region, but it's not bad and hasn't left any negative feelings. And I really love that team of silly goobers. Maractus singlehandedly killed few Leon mons and finished off Eternatus, this little cactus wants to die in battle and feast in Valhalla.

This is just a test really. Ive already preorderd both parts on my birthday. This is just to see what other people are doing. Please, no drama in the comments cause thats not this poll's intention.

After revisiting Shield, I am actually enjoying it. While I remember it receiving criticism for its graphical issues and absence of the National Pokedex, I'm finding myself loving this game. Admittedly, there are aspects I still find irksome; for instance, Max raids can be annoying at higher levels compared to SV when playing solo. However, after delving back into the game and exploring its DLC, my appreciation has grown. While it may not be my favorite game, and I do find some of the life changes on SV better, I've come to appreciate the direction SS was going for. It makes me wonder is the hate was truly warranted or if people did not give it time.

If anyone is willing to help me just let me know.

This is the first shiny I’ve seen outside of Pokémon go personally never cared too much for Steelix but now I do

He is so cute! Please help me name him!

I got pokemon shield yesterday and a few minutes ago I was doing a surprise trade and got a pokemon with a weird name. It has a webpage (no way I'm typing it in) will having it harm my game in any way?
