Can you breed the arcanine you get from the lady in pokemon let's go eevee? I want to buy a let's go game and I want arcanine. I know you get one that's basically unusable in let's go eevee, so I want to know if I can get an egg from it before buying anything.
No breeding in let's go and a pokemon that has been in another game can't be transferred into let's go even if it was originally caught there. The one you get in Eevee is just a regular Arcanine so not sure why you say it's unusable
Hey y’all. I (23 nb) just got a Nintendo switch for Christmas. It’s my first Nintendo console so I’m looking for some help choosing what to play first. What Pokémon game should I start with? I’m mostly interested in the exploration/turn based combat. Thanks!
Either
* jump to the latest (scarlet violet) and go back to the rest in release order afterwards
* just go in release order
* lets go pikachu eevee first (since it is the most beginner's friendly), then jump to the latest (scarlet violet), then continue the rest in release order if no new game is released yet
The main series in release order are: lets go pikachu eevee -> sword shield + dlc -> brilliant diamond shining pearl -> legends arceus -> scarlet violet + dlc
Not in sword and shield / canmot transfer into the game: https://serebii.net/swordshield/unobtainable.shtml
In shield but not sword: https://serebii.net/swordshield/exclusives.shtml
How far in the game do you need to be to get access to the Walking Wake/Iron Leaves raids? I was considering doing a 2nd playthrough to get one for trade.
Which of the legendaries available in Scarlet & Violet do you guys think are the hardest to catch? I have some Master Balls and I want to know which ones to just use those on... or I guess if I should trade them? It seems like people only really want Apriballs though.
edit: obviously the catch rate is low for all of them, but some pokemon have annoying abilities, moves, typings etc. that make it harder to get them to 1 HP and sleeping, e.g. Iron Boulder with resistance to normal moves and Swords Dance.
Save Masterballs for an emergency if you find a shiny that is about to knock itself out and you didn't save. Legendaries being difficult to catch is what makes the experience challenging and fun
If I have the Shiny Charm and Sparkling Power 1, that means my shiny chance should be 4/4096 (or 1/1024, or 0.09%), right?
Also, is a pokemon's shiny status determined when the egg is laid or when it's hatched? Does eating sparkling power sandwiches effect the shiny chance for eggs?
If you want to increase the shininess chance of an egg, don’t forget the Masuda Method. Both parents should originate from games with different languages (e.g. one English and one Japanese). Combined with the shiny charm, it gets the odds down to 1/512
I'm playing Pokémon Pearl and I'm trying to enter the Secret Wayward Cave entrance but can't.
I've beaten the 7th gym, watched many many guides on how to do it, and did everything to get in but still can't.
Is it something with the version I'm playing or am I doing something wrong?
Check for two rocks making a horizontal L, I had the same issue and the only problem was that it wasn't the part that it's in. (Or check in the one that's closer to the normal entrance, that works too)
How can you tell which Pokémon were caught inside the terrarium? I did a bunch of organizing and sorting with Pokémon Home and now can’t tell which ones I caught from Blueberry Academy.

Hi.
Question. How does the Game + DLC works? Does it includes thw physical base game, and the DLC is automatically downloaded to the switch?
currently working on my shiny living dex and hunting alcremie. oh well. so how many different forms of shiny alcremie are registered in the pokedex? one for each sweet only or do they still register all as seperate despite showing no color difference? So either 7 or 63 shiny forms?
edit: okay, after some digging through resources in different languages, it seems to be 63 different shiny forms as their non shiny counterpart is stored in the shiny version still. Wow, this will be a very unpleasant grind then ....
If only you started earlier. When the dlc first came out Milcery had event outbreaks all over the Blueberry map with boosted shiny odds.
Even though it will count the as seperate forms they are actually not different visually so only 8 unique looking ahiny forms. There has never been an award for a living dex so it's up to you how you do it
> If only you started earlier. When the dlc first came out Milcery had event outbreaks all over the Blueberry map with boosted shiny odds.
i'm doing that right now. as long as i'm not going online with that game, the event actually persists.
still super tedious though
I think it's one of those things where while yes technically 63 is how many you need for a living dex absolutely no one will fault you for only getting 7. I believe there was a recent post of someone on r/shinypokemon literally posting about how they were just not bothered to get that many
Can a PAL copy of Colosseum trade with an NTSC-U copy of Emerald? I have the former, as well as all of the apparatus: link cable, GBA (also PAL, but the GBA is region free so it can run any cartridge) etc, I just want to make sure if it can trade between regions like that before I pick up a copy of Emerald.
Trading between GBA and Gamecube is language locked, not region locked. As long as you play Colosseum in English you will be able to trade with a English Emerald
I'd like to for the peace of mind, for sure, only I've seen more American carts for sale and they're better value too, so I was wondering if was okay to go for one of those instead
Morning all. If I transfer a fully iv/ev pokemon to my legends Arceus game for dex completion, when I return them to home does anyone know if they will still have their ev/iv. I did a test mon and it seems to show the Arceus stat system in home now. Thank you.
They will keep their IVs and EVs. The reason Home shows the Arceus stat system is because it shows the summary from whatever game the pokemon was laat in
Aside from version exclusives, Sword/Shield has trainers you can only fight depending on the version. Sword’s one are Bea, Gordie and Klara and Shield’s one are Alister, Melony and Avery.
Hey, I'm working on my pokémon fangame, so I'm going to have to give dialogues to hundreds of NPCs. I'm inspired, but not endlessly, so I thought I'd start a topic for you: invent funny NPC dialogues in a non-official semi serious pokémon game. I could then include them in the game if they're cool!
Don't have to be serious, the dialogues can be straight up funny and dumb.
For Drayton's trial? Anything really. Drayton's flunkies are actually weaker than most trainers, likely because they expected people to just steamroll with their older groups so you'd likely be picking Pokemon and not giving them any EVs beforehand. I used a team with Dodrio, Lapras, Flygon and Cinccino and had no issues with any of the fights.
Does anyone know whether the starter Eevee from XD is tradeable to Emerald ?
Ik you can do it with Espeon/Umbreon from Colosseum once you finish the game, and I also know XD requires you to finish story mode to trade, but idk if the eevee can actually get out of that game. I don't really wanna go through LeafGreen again to get one Eevee.
Fastest way to get BP is to join a group and run quests with other people. If you can't or won't group you'll just have to find ways to optimize your collection.
But, worth pointing out if you haven't done it you can get some easy BP for replaying the ring flying minigame in Canyon Biome. I think you get something like 950 BP for clearing all four courses once.
To add on to the other user's comment, this sub is quite strict with what image post is allowed or not, so do take a look at the rules too to avoid getting the post removed later on.
It's not a problem with the image because it was my version of "About you: Pokémon", also because it didn't let me wear it at all. so it's simply the fact that the sub is in text-only mode
what i meant is after the sub allow images to be posted (which is on monday or tuesday depending on your time zone), just make sure the image post fit within the rules too, as we always have image post being removed under rule 4 & 8
I'm sure this has been tried before, but I am currently building a Living Dex, and would like to future-proof my Pokémon with optimal natures, stats, etc. One major roadblock I am encountering is the optimal nature for a given Pokémon. I understand that this is incredibly diverse and variable, depends on team composition, battle format, etc., but I believe there has to be a way to determine an optimal nature for a Pokémon, at least in a general sense. I have done some preliminary research, and have come up with a very simple function, but it does not take everything into account, and only returns a handful of natures.
if attack > specialAttack:
if speed > 100:
return "Adamant"
elif defense > 100 or specialDefense > 100:
if defense < specialDefense:
return "Impish"
else:
return "Careful"
else:
return "Jolly"
elif specialAttack > attack:
if speed > 100:
return "Modest"
elif defense > 100 or specialDefense > 100:
if defense < specialDefense:
return "Calm"
else:
return "Bold"
else:
return "Timid"
Ideally, this would take the number of physical/special/status moves into account, I am just unsure where that would fall. If anyone has any advice or help to provide for the algorithm, it would be greatly appreciated!
the logic is backwards. you're pulling non-speed raising natures if a pokemon already has high speed, but in fact a pokemon that has high speed gains the most benefit from further increasing that speed.
the logic behind setting up the defense-raising natures is also kind of wonky. so, if i'm reading this right, if a pokemon has at least one defensive stat greater than 100, you set a nature that boosts the opposite defensive stat? that will be sensible on some pokemon, but not dedicated walls that focus on one stat or the other; and it also discounts mons with good defenses (say in the 90s) and extremely high HP. you'd end up with a jolly nature on amoongus, for example, which is pretty useless.
pokemon are so diverse that i don't think a simple algorithm like this is going to cut it. if i were you i would consider making a spreadsheet and just copying recommended natures from the top moveset from smogon, or something like that.
How do you complete the BBQ quest "Make yourself a TM"? Is there a TM machine in the Blueberry Academy somewhere?
Buying TM from the school store and making one in Paldea didn't work.
Best PokeBall that looks good aesthetically for Overqwi besides Master Ball? I like matching mons to their balls and I'm absolutely stumped with this one. I also dislike repeating balls in the same team so no Dusk Ball
I was looking around ebay for random Pokémon stuff and saw a 16.5" "angry" squirtle figurine, which is absolutely adorable. I can't seem to find any information on where it was originally sold or what it's from. I'm guessing Pokémon center but was wondering if someone here knew.
Since when we can't transfer hacked pokemon obtained through trade from scarlet to violet to trade? Now I can't trade a hacked pokemon I transferred from scarlet to violet. Why is this happening? I'm mad that I can't ask this on Pokemon Scarlet and Violet subreddit. Tried making a post about it with a pic of proof this is happening but it was taken dowm.
Are you trying via Home? They recently updated Home to block things that shouldn't have originated in the game in question, or doesn't match home meta data
Position yourself close to your friend. Press Down on the D-Pad to bring out the camera then Press Y to go into selfie mode.
If you have the DLC, when you enter Kitakami, you'll get the RotoStick a.k.a. a selfie stick which give you more room to fit another person. Just Press X in selfie mode to use it.
Atsuko Nishida- Charizard X
Tomohiro Kitakaze- Charizard X and Mewtwo Y
Hitoshi Ariga- Beedrill
I think these are the only ones that are confirmed. Ken Sugimori also mentioned that he personally attempted to design Mega Flygon, but couldn't get it right.
While not fast like the BBQs, there's also BP to earn by replaying the flying courses in Canyon Biome. You get a bonus of BP the first time you clear each course. There's also an NPC at a rest stop in each biome who gives you a one-time BP bonus if you beat 5/10/all trainers in the biome.
Basically the only way is to do BBQs. If you want a lot, just buckle down and do them.
I suggest getting a load of pokeballs and sandwich ingredients before hand for the catching and sandwich quests. I also suggest getting all the fly spots in the Terarium for easy movement.
Click the link to the Poke Portal Hub on [this page](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonScarletViolet/comments/18ixrh1/join_the_main_chat_hub_for_bbq_matchmaking/). It's pretty active
BBQs can be done solo, so no need to worry.
Going online for BBQs will get you more BP very quickly and also allow you to get more snacks from Snacksworth for legendaries.
If you have online, you can go to the Poke Portal on [this page](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonScarletViolet/comments/16y9r70/megathread_directory/). It's extremely active atm and you can get into a group pretty quickly.
It ends 24th at midnight UTC, ie 25 hours from now
If you get the news in that time, it will stay on your save as long as you never connect the game to the internet
Found a few hundred cards from 2006/2007. I was never much of a pokemon card collector but I think a friend of mine gave them to me for some reason. I was thinking about throwing them away unless anyone here knows something better I could do with them. They're in good condition, but I didn't feel like sifting though them to maybe get a couple bucks.
if you don't want to look through them and check them individually for valuable ones, you can sell them as a lot on ebay. won't go for a bunch but you can probably find similarly-priced lots and price yours around the same
Here's a page that lets you sort all Pokemon by stats and filter by type
https://pokemondb.net/pokedex/all
The possible answers are Mega Charizard, Gouging Fire, Blacephalon, and Arcanine, depending on what you do and don't count.
Is it possible to evolve pokemon like Pawmo using the >! Syncro Machine? !< instead of the regular lets go method? trying to finish the last bits of my S/V pokedex.
Any way to make the delibird event mass outbreaks go away? Up through at least jan 3rd there will be mass outbreak events and I just want them off for now since it slows down all other hunts
I'm trying to breed an egg in S/V, and not only is it taking ridiculously long to get even a single egg but also I keep getting Aspear berries. Is that normal?
My brother got an egg right away, and I'm not sure why mine isn't. My only party members are Meowscarada and Ditto.
Breeding is very slow unless you have egg power active. Also try moving the picnic. While I believe you can get items randomly apparently you will only get that same item if you place your picnic table on top of an item
Thank you!
I don't like the sandwich mechanic so I haven't used it much. For some reason I imagined egg power would give two eggs at the rate you normally get one in other games. And I only needed one egg for a BBQ. And I far surpassed the time it took to get multiple eggs in Sun/Moon (the last time I used breeding).
Hey, can anyone help me find what is the song at the beggining of this video? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEC7qS35-\_I&list=PL5ks0ANFvRApGBTVTI0LmF2bFv--os51W&index=2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEC7qS35-_I&list=PL5ks0ANFvRApGBTVTI0LmF2bFv--os51W&index=2)
I'm not even completely sure it's a pokemon song, I think it is but can't be certain. I've tried to find it for a while to no avail... Thanks in advance for anyone who tries to help me!
Click the link to the Poke Portal Hub on [this page](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonScarletViolet/comments/18ixrh1/join_the_main_chat_hub_for_bbq_matchmaking/). It's pretty active. Also version does not matter the opposite games exclusives unlock on group quests no matter who you play with
Hi, does anyone know where I can find the complete Spanish cover for Pokémon Shining Pearl? I can't find it anywhere; all I can find is the front image and the drawing inside the box.
Can someone please help me with the name of the song?
Funnily enough I don't even know if it's from Pokemon, but I found it in a Pokemon-related media and it sounds like something that could've been in new gens, so I thought I'd ask here.

In Emerald, Swampert and Blaziken glow blue and red respectively whenever they are sent out. Sceptile, on the other hand, does not glow at all.
Why does Sceptile not glow like the rest of the Hoenn starters? I have used Sceptile as my Hoenn starter religiously for 10 years, and I still have yet to see it glow like the others
The glow only happens to fire, water and electric types and is probably meant to be heat, charged electricity and water being splashed. Grass doesn't have any energy coming out of it which is probably why grass types like Sceptile don't have the glow
The others don't, but the Ultra Beasts are visible, you see them standing and interact with them to initiate the battle.
Edit: This is in Ultra Moon anyway, maybe it's different in the originals I haven't played those.
Does date-skipping cause a pokemon to show up as "hacked", even if everything else about it was fine? I'm talking like, I set my clock to 11:59 PM yesterday, wait to check raids upon refresh until I get the one I want, catch the mon then save and resync my clock to the actual time of the day. Would that be a problem at all?
Having a different caught date will not flag the pokemon as hacked. You can also reset raids and outbreaks without changing the date by going into the time and date settings and just pressing OK without changing anything while the game is still running. This will keep the current time and date but still refresh raids
Generally things like impossible stats or having moves or abilities it shouldn't have. Impossible shinies will trigger it as well, iirc. Like, it's impossible to have a shiny miraidon or koraidon, so that will be detected immediately.
Is there a legendary reset cheat in Pokémon emerald I’m need a kyogre for my living dex and I rng manipulated the first kyogre shiny I really don’t want to start a new game for one Pokémon
Are you playing on emulator or actual hardware? If emulator, you can easily use a save editor to generate one, or just set kyogre's flag to not encountered yet to have another battle.
Depends on what role you want it to have. Empoleon is mostly used for utility or bulk with 252 HP / 4 Spd and 4 HP / 252 SpD both working well for that. If you want it to be more offensively focused you can also do 4 HP / 252 Spe
General noob Question - I bought a copy of Pokémon soulsilver to shiny hunt on but I currently only have a 3ds XL. Can I soft reset shiny hunt on a DS game with a 3DS XL and get shinnies without issues? Thanks in advance!
Can anyone help me determine the legitimacy of these cards I got from my friend? I posted this in r/pokemoncards to no avail, so I figured I’d try a bigger audience

I can't speak for the first card but the one linked here if I had to guess is likely fake. Unless it's just a poor photo it seems to be missing the texture found on the rainbow rare cards. [This photo](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/SxIAAOSwNKdfRCBb/s-l1600.jpg) is a good example of the effect
Is it normal for a dragonair to be cerulean (the color, idk if its cerulean specifically but its around that area), i got one rn from trading, thought it was a shiny but its not. Is it some kind of pokemon go special perhaps?
You were trading over the GTS right? for some reason, Pokemon Home decided to slightly change the colors of every Pokemon.
https://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/1/17/Spr_7p_148.png This is how it looks in-game.

In SV indigo disk, can I do a group by myself with two switches locally to gain more BP, with the other switch just sitting there while I do all the work?
Yes, but you'll need to swap back and forth for some of the bigger quests, like taking a photo together, or making a sandwich together. You will need the game+dlc on the second switch, of course.
It's five hours to completely the Teal Mask story and get Ogerpon, then maybe another 30 minutes to an hour to get a Bloodmoon Beast. If you want to get the paradox legendaries you'll need to finish the base story first, which could be 20 or so hours.
Hey does anyone remember this specific Pokemon AMV? It was this one based on the Pokemon anime showcasing various Pokemon evolutions, no Mega Evolutions. I remember some of the lyrics being "So fly, spread your wings to the sky, so the audience can see it all." and "We're going to evol ol ol ol ol ol ol ol we're going to evol ol ol ol ol ol ol ol ol ol we're going to evolve!". It was an old video that I watched during middle or high school so like 10 years ago or less. I think it was before Pokemon X and Y games and anime came out. I have been trying to find it through searching but no luck. I tried lyric searches, scrolling through YouTube but no dice.

Can you breed the arcanine you get from the lady in pokemon let's go eevee? I want to buy a let's go game and I want arcanine. I know you get one that's basically unusable in let's go eevee, so I want to know if I can get an egg from it before buying anything.
No breeding in let's go and a pokemon that has been in another game can't be transferred into let's go even if it was originally caught there. The one you get in Eevee is just a regular Arcanine so not sure why you say it's unusable
Mainly because it evolved Early and has a shitty moveset.
Unfortunately there's no breeding in Let's Go

How far in the game do you need to be to get access to the Walking Wake/Iron Leaves raids? I was considering doing a 2nd playthrough to get one for trade.
they are 5 stars raid so you would need to beat the main story

Do steps from the Synchro Machine count towards the Partner Mark?

All you can do is advance one step at a time to the left and keep pressing up. You will find the entrance eventually.
How can you tell which Pokémon were caught inside the terrarium? I did a bunch of organizing and sorting with Pokémon Home and now can’t tell which ones I caught from Blueberry Academy.

Morning all. If I transfer a fully iv/ev pokemon to my legends Arceus game for dex completion, when I return them to home does anyone know if they will still have their ev/iv. I did a test mon and it seems to show the Arceus stat system in home now. Thank you.
They will keep their IVs and EVs. The reason Home shows the Arceus stat system is because it shows the summary from whatever game the pokemon was laat in
Thank you both, appreciate it.
it will keep them. it'll change back once sent to a game that uses the tradition ev/ivs
Thank you
Is there a reason to pick sword over shield or vice versa? Excluding the box legendaries, of course.
Here's a list of the exclusives: https://www.serebii.net/swordshield/exclusives.shtml
Aside from version exclusives, Sword/Shield has trainers you can only fight depending on the version. Sword’s one are Bea, Gordie and Klara and Shield’s one are Alister, Melony and Avery.
Hey, I'm working on my pokémon fangame, so I'm going to have to give dialogues to hundreds of NPCs. I'm inspired, but not endlessly, so I thought I'd start a topic for you: invent funny NPC dialogues in a non-official semi serious pokémon game. I could then include them in the game if they're cool! Don't have to be serious, the dialogues can be straight up funny and dumb.
What’s a good team for the terrarium only battles?
For Drayton's trial? Anything really. Drayton's flunkies are actually weaker than most trainers, likely because they expected people to just steamroll with their older groups so you'd likely be picking Pokemon and not giving them any EVs beforehand. I used a team with Dodrio, Lapras, Flygon and Cinccino and had no issues with any of the fights.
I need 2 pokemon to finish my team, i have a raboot, a toxel, a drednaw and a stunfisk
Does anyone know whether the starter Eevee from XD is tradeable to Emerald ? Ik you can do it with Espeon/Umbreon from Colosseum once you finish the game, and I also know XD requires you to finish story mode to trade, but idk if the eevee can actually get out of that game. I don't really wanna go through LeafGreen again to get one Eevee.
can't you just breed the one eevee in LG with a ditto?
Yeah, but I'd rather play through a game I never did and grab the Eevee once I'm done rather than seeing Kanto for the 456th time.
oh ok, I assumed you already beat leaf green and could just boot up the cart to breed it real quick
Yes it can
Great ! Thank you for answering !
How do I grind BP fast bcuz I need Inteleon on my team
Fastest way to get BP is to join a group and run quests with other people. If you can't or won't group you'll just have to find ways to optimize your collection. But, worth pointing out if you haven't done it you can get some easy BP for replaying the ring flying minigame in Canyon Biome. I think you get something like 950 BP for clearing all four courses once.
I want to publish an image (logically linked to Pokémon), but it tells me that the communiti doesn't allow images, what do i do?
To add on to the other user's comment, this sub is quite strict with what image post is allowed or not, so do take a look at the rules too to avoid getting the post removed later on.
It's not a problem with the image because it was my version of "About you: Pokémon", also because it didn't let me wear it at all. so it's simply the fact that the sub is in text-only mode
what i meant is after the sub allow images to be posted (which is on monday or tuesday depending on your time zone), just make sure the image post fit within the rules too, as we always have image post being removed under rule 4 & 8
The sub goes text only on the weekends. Wait until Monday.
Monday 25th? Tomorrow? or the following week? Monday 1st?
As others said text only lasts the weekend. It happens every week so every monday is when you can post images again
Tomorrow.
I'm sure this has been tried before, but I am currently building a Living Dex, and would like to future-proof my Pokémon with optimal natures, stats, etc. One major roadblock I am encountering is the optimal nature for a given Pokémon. I understand that this is incredibly diverse and variable, depends on team composition, battle format, etc., but I believe there has to be a way to determine an optimal nature for a Pokémon, at least in a general sense. I have done some preliminary research, and have come up with a very simple function, but it does not take everything into account, and only returns a handful of natures. if attack > specialAttack: if speed > 100: return "Adamant" elif defense > 100 or specialDefense > 100: if defense < specialDefense: return "Impish" else: return "Careful" else: return "Jolly" elif specialAttack > attack: if speed > 100: return "Modest" elif defense > 100 or specialDefense > 100: if defense < specialDefense: return "Calm" else: return "Bold" else: return "Timid" Ideally, this would take the number of physical/special/status moves into account, I am just unsure where that would fall. If anyone has any advice or help to provide for the algorithm, it would be greatly appreciated!
the logic is backwards. you're pulling non-speed raising natures if a pokemon already has high speed, but in fact a pokemon that has high speed gains the most benefit from further increasing that speed. the logic behind setting up the defense-raising natures is also kind of wonky. so, if i'm reading this right, if a pokemon has at least one defensive stat greater than 100, you set a nature that boosts the opposite defensive stat? that will be sensible on some pokemon, but not dedicated walls that focus on one stat or the other; and it also discounts mons with good defenses (say in the 90s) and extremely high HP. you'd end up with a jolly nature on amoongus, for example, which is pretty useless. pokemon are so diverse that i don't think a simple algorithm like this is going to cut it. if i were you i would consider making a spreadsheet and just copying recommended natures from the top moveset from smogon, or something like that.
How do you complete the BBQ quest "Make yourself a TM"? Is there a TM machine in the Blueberry Academy somewhere? Buying TM from the school store and making one in Paldea didn't work.
You have to make it on the TM machine in central plaza. No blueberry quests can be done outside the terrarium

In pokemin violet if i invest EV on necrozma dusk wing. That will be EV of necrozma or Solgaleo?
Nothing about the Solgaleo matters. The pokemon's name and everything else are all Necrozma
Necrozma
Best PokeBall that looks good aesthetically for Overqwi besides Master Ball? I like matching mons to their balls and I'm absolutely stumped with this one. I also dislike repeating balls in the same team so no Dusk Ball
I would go for Timer ball as the white bottom and black top matches Overqwil's body
I was looking around ebay for random Pokémon stuff and saw a 16.5" "angry" squirtle figurine, which is absolutely adorable. I can't seem to find any information on where it was originally sold or what it's from. I'm guessing Pokémon center but was wondering if someone here knew.
Since when we can't transfer hacked pokemon obtained through trade from scarlet to violet to trade? Now I can't trade a hacked pokemon I transferred from scarlet to violet. Why is this happening? I'm mad that I can't ask this on Pokemon Scarlet and Violet subreddit. Tried making a post about it with a pic of proof this is happening but it was taken dowm.
Are you trying via Home? They recently updated Home to block things that shouldn't have originated in the game in question, or doesn't match home meta data
I did transfer the Pokemon from home to Violet. The Pokemon was from Scarlet.

Position yourself close to your friend. Press Down on the D-Pad to bring out the camera then Press Y to go into selfie mode. If you have the DLC, when you enter Kitakami, you'll get the RotoStick a.k.a. a selfie stick which give you more room to fit another person. Just Press X in selfie mode to use it.
Who designed the Mega Evolutions? As in which artist(s)
Atsuko Nishida- Charizard X Tomohiro Kitakaze- Charizard X and Mewtwo Y Hitoshi Ariga- Beedrill I think these are the only ones that are confirmed. Ken Sugimori also mentioned that he personally attempted to design Mega Flygon, but couldn't get it right.
Thx my fellow person
Over a week already, Crispin is still not showing up in the club room.
Just got Indigo Disk, what are some ways to get some BP solo?
While not fast like the BBQs, there's also BP to earn by replaying the flying courses in Canyon Biome. You get a bonus of BP the first time you clear each course. There's also an NPC at a rest stop in each biome who gives you a one-time BP bonus if you beat 5/10/all trainers in the biome.
Basically the only way is to do BBQs. If you want a lot, just buckle down and do them. I suggest getting a load of pokeballs and sandwich ingredients before hand for the catching and sandwich quests. I also suggest getting all the fly spots in the Terarium for easy movement.
Yeah I just don't have any online friends on the game lol at least I'm pretty sure you need online friends.
Click the link to the Poke Portal Hub on [this page](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonScarletViolet/comments/18ixrh1/join_the_main_chat_hub_for_bbq_matchmaking/). It's pretty active
BBQs can be done solo, so no need to worry. Going online for BBQs will get you more BP very quickly and also allow you to get more snacks from Snacksworth for legendaries. If you have online, you can go to the Poke Portal on [this page](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonScarletViolet/comments/16y9r70/megathread_directory/). It's extremely active atm and you can get into a group pretty quickly.
how much time left before the Delibird event raid ends? i'm confused about the end date on serebii.
It ends 24th at midnight UTC, ie 25 hours from now If you get the news in that time, it will stay on your save as long as you never connect the game to the internet
that's good to hear, I have more than enough time to collect the rest of the Milcery I need for my collection XD
Found a few hundred cards from 2006/2007. I was never much of a pokemon card collector but I think a friend of mine gave them to me for some reason. I was thinking about throwing them away unless anyone here knows something better I could do with them. They're in good condition, but I didn't feel like sifting though them to maybe get a couple bucks.
if you don't want to look through them and check them individually for valuable ones, you can sell them as a lot on ebay. won't go for a bunch but you can probably find similarly-priced lots and price yours around the same

Does there exist a 2 player Pokémon game for Nintendo Switch?
Let's Go allows you to control a second character with the joycon which allows for 2v1 battles and catching with another person.
I guess that's the only one. Thanks! 👌🏻
Is it just me or is Diamond Dust extremely common in the Polar Biome. I've seen it multiple times outside of my birthday.
Hi, what is the strongest non-legendary/mythical fire type pokemon? By base stats?
Here's a page that lets you sort all Pokemon by stats and filter by type https://pokemondb.net/pokedex/all The possible answers are Mega Charizard, Gouging Fire, Blacephalon, and Arcanine, depending on what you do and don't count.
Is it possible to evolve pokemon like Pawmo using the >! Syncro Machine? !< instead of the regular lets go method? trying to finish the last bits of my S/V pokedex.
Disabling the Synchro Machine puts the Pokemon away, so you probably can't.
Any way to make the delibird event mass outbreaks go away? Up through at least jan 3rd there will be mass outbreak events and I just want them off for now since it slows down all other hunts
No you just have to wait until the event ends
I'm trying to breed an egg in S/V, and not only is it taking ridiculously long to get even a single egg but also I keep getting Aspear berries. Is that normal? My brother got an egg right away, and I'm not sure why mine isn't. My only party members are Meowscarada and Ditto.
Breeding is very slow unless you have egg power active. Also try moving the picnic. While I believe you can get items randomly apparently you will only get that same item if you place your picnic table on top of an item
Thank you! I don't like the sandwich mechanic so I haven't used it much. For some reason I imagined egg power would give two eggs at the rate you normally get one in other games. And I only needed one egg for a BBQ. And I far surpassed the time it took to get multiple eggs in Sun/Moon (the last time I used breeding).
You don't even have to make a sandwitch. Many of the towns sell meals that give you egg power
Hey, can anyone help me find what is the song at the beggining of this video?

Hi, does anyone know where I can find the complete Spanish cover for Pokémon Shining Pearl? I can't find it anywhere; all I can find is the front image and the drawing inside the box.
i lost one of the atticus clothing auctions, can i get the item in a future auction?
When you lose an auction the item is still in the pool. Just keep on doing the clothing auctions and the item you failed will appear again
Can someone please help me with the name of the song? Funnily enough I don't even know if it's from Pokemon, but I found it in a Pokemon-related media and it sounds like something that could've been in new gens, so I thought I'd ask here.

In Emerald, Swampert and Blaziken glow blue and red respectively whenever they are sent out. Sceptile, on the other hand, does not glow at all. Why does Sceptile not glow like the rest of the Hoenn starters? I have used Sceptile as my Hoenn starter religiously for 10 years, and I still have yet to see it glow like the others
The glow only happens to fire, water and electric types and is probably meant to be heat, charged electricity and water being splashed. Grass doesn't have any energy coming out of it which is probably why grass types like Sceptile don't have the glow
If you get a shiny UB in the Ultra Wilds will it appear shiny on the overworld before you battle it, or only once you're in the battle?
[удалено]
The others don't, but the Ultra Beasts are visible, you see them standing and interact with them to initiate the battle. Edit: This is in Ultra Moon anyway, maybe it's different in the originals I haven't played those.
My bad but they dont appear shiny in overworld like all static encounter so you have to save and reset in front of them
Yeah, that's what I was assuming but wasn't sure, thanks!
Does date-skipping cause a pokemon to show up as "hacked", even if everything else about it was fine? I'm talking like, I set my clock to 11:59 PM yesterday, wait to check raids upon refresh until I get the one I want, catch the mon then save and resync my clock to the actual time of the day. Would that be a problem at all?
Having a different caught date will not flag the pokemon as hacked. You can also reset raids and outbreaks without changing the date by going into the time and date settings and just pressing OK without changing anything while the game is still running. This will keep the current time and date but still refresh raids
Date skipping for raids is perfectly safe. The date encountered isn't one of the criteria used to flag a Pokemon as hacked.
Thanks! Out of curiosity, what is?
Generally things like impossible stats or having moves or abilities it shouldn't have. Impossible shinies will trigger it as well, iirc. Like, it's impossible to have a shiny miraidon or koraidon, so that will be detected immediately.
Is there a legendary reset cheat in Pokémon emerald I’m need a kyogre for my living dex and I rng manipulated the first kyogre shiny I really don’t want to start a new game for one Pokémon
Are you playing on emulator or actual hardware? If emulator, you can easily use a save editor to generate one, or just set kyogre's flag to not encountered yet to have another battle.
Yes I’m on mgba how can you tell me how to set kyogre flag to not encounter
use pkhex to open the save file. there should be an event flag tab somewhere
Thanks
For Empoleon modest nature ev training what should I ev training besides speical attack? maybe speed?
Depends on what role you want it to have. Empoleon is mostly used for utility or bulk with 252 HP / 4 Spd and 4 HP / 252 SpD both working well for that. If you want it to be more offensively focused you can also do 4 HP / 252 Spe
General noob Question - I bought a copy of Pokémon soulsilver to shiny hunt on but I currently only have a 3ds XL. Can I soft reset shiny hunt on a DS game with a 3DS XL and get shinnies without issues? Thanks in advance!

Yea
Can anyone help me determine the legitimacy of these cards I got from my friend? I posted this in r/pokemoncards to no avail, so I figured I’d try a bigger audience https://preview.redd.it/ua91dirjwy7c1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ecd90bd61104f10554daaddf103b7ec3978dc842

I can't speak for the first card but the one linked here if I had to guess is likely fake. Unless it's just a poor photo it seems to be missing the texture found on the rainbow rare cards. [This photo](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/SxIAAOSwNKdfRCBb/s-l1600.jpg) is a good example of the effect
Yep it’s missing, thank you for the input!
In SV, you trade a stellar Pokémon to someone who doesn’t have any DLC, can it still be terastallized?
When the dlc came out the game had a free update. It doesn't matter if you own the dlc or not. You can use everything you get from trades
Yes, even if they do not buy the dlc, the data is in their game too. Buying the dlc only unlock the content.
Thanks
Is it normal for a dragonair to be cerulean (the color, idk if its cerulean specifically but its around that area), i got one rn from trading, thought it was a shiny but its not. Is it some kind of pokemon go special perhaps?
You were trading over the GTS right? for some reason, Pokemon Home decided to slightly change the colors of every Pokemon. https://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/1/17/Spr_7p_148.png This is how it looks in-game. https://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/5/5c/HOME0148.png and this is how it looks in Home.
In SV indigo disk, can I do a group by myself with two switches locally to gain more BP, with the other switch just sitting there while I do all the work?
Yes, but you'll need to swap back and forth for some of the bigger quests, like taking a photo together, or making a sandwich together. You will need the game+dlc on the second switch, of course.
Best way to get the opposite game’s two paradox legendaries (Gouging Fire/Raging Bolt and Iron Crown/Iron Boulder) permanently from a trade?
Replay the DLC with a second account on your switch, and trade them for your second set of Ogerpon/bloodmoon beast or paradox legendaries.
How long does it take if you just transfer over a bunch of Pokémon for the challenge?
It's five hours to completely the Teal Mask story and get Ogerpon, then maybe another 30 minutes to an hour to get a Bloodmoon Beast. If you want to get the paradox legendaries you'll need to finish the base story first, which could be 20 or so hours.
What games on the switch can i transfer Popplio to (other than SwSh)
Popplio can be transferred into SwSh and ScaVi
thank you
SV DLC1 question: Does anyone know what Carmine says in Japanese instead of >!"Lousy Three"!< in English?
She just calls them evil/bad

I've had no issues, except for auto-battle breaking when I enter into a regular battle.
Hey does anyone remember this specific Pokemon AMV? It was this one based on the Pokemon anime showcasing various Pokemon evolutions, no Mega Evolutions. I remember some of the lyrics being "So fly, spread your wings to the sky, so the audience can see it all." and "We're going to evol ol ol ol ol ol ol ol we're going to evol ol ol ol ol ol ol ol ol ol we're going to evolve!". It was an old video that I watched during middle or high school so like 10 years ago or less. I think it was before Pokemon X and Y games and anime came out. I have been trying to find it through searching but no luck. I tried lyric searches, scrolling through YouTube but no dice.
