Gotta Catch 'Em All! - Pokémon Thread
- Thread starter SHIELD Agent 47
- Start date
i've had successful shiny hunts for sneasel, scyther, basculin, petilil, qwilfish and teddiursa so far, currently shiny hunting for rufflet and then going after a male basculin and a growlithe. also i just randomly ran into a shiny golbat without hunting.
A space time distortion opened and gave me the opportunity to capture a regular Sneasel, so far no ones seen another regular form for the rest so I assume this is a hint that the rest will come through an update or more Pokemon will become available through Home.
I can't seem to find any details on Effort Leveling. Like, are there limits? Can I only apply a certain number of points to any given 'mon? So far I haven't hit any restrictions, though I'm still applying them like there will inevitably be a restriction, focusing on the stats I most want improved, but it'd be great if I had a more coherent idea of what I was doing.
Finished the main story. Started some of the post game legendary hunting. Got wrecked. Time to level grind.
Got my first random shiny, a female Heracross from a mass outbreak.
Also caught all the Unown. It unlocks them appearing in the Solaceon Ruins, including alpha and shiny versions.
We just "finished" this. No idea what happened to the last two pieces, but I am sure that either the kids or the cats ran off with them.
Surprisingly the Legendaries haven't given me much trouble other than Heatran.
And it was the prebattle not the battle to catch it.
Also you can get the other two starters from the professor in the post game! Debating on whether or not to replace my Alpha Empoleon with the Hisuian Samurott
To be fair, it wasn't so much the legendary fights themselves. (This is a MAJOR SPOILER for the post game, so DON'T CLICK unless you're SURE you want to know.)
The fight with Volo was what got me. And then the fight with Giratina right after. And then Giratina getting back up and changing into Origin Form to keep going. With no breaks to heal in between, and losing meant starting over with Volo again.
Then I over-levelled and steamrolled it. Fighting Ingo in the Training Grounds in Jubilife is worth a lot of exp.

I can now make a full team of random ass shinies, if I include the guaranteed Ponyta.
50 hours, 5 random shinies. What IS this? Is this what you people call luck? I'm not sure I like it. Where's my crushing disappointment and misfortune?
Anyway, latest one is a Togekiss that spawned while I was flying near one of the lakes. It's not much of a difference from it's usual look, but I think I do prefer it, tbh.
Edit: Make that six random shinies and a SECOND shiny Drifloon. What the Hell.

I've only one shiny besides the gift, an eevee.
Main story cleared!
Shiny Mr. Mime. Oh joy.
Legends of Arceus is everything SwSh's Wild Area wanted to be.
Graphics at times can be kinda.... horrendous. Pillars and trees floating a foot off the ground, grass just completely wigging out, Pokemon in the distance moving at like 2 frames per second. Eesh.
The team is... small:
It's mostly just been the starter and a revolving squad of evolving 'mons to fill out the Pokedex. Really needed some more type coverage, and Goodra happened to be the same level as Typholsion. And has a cool new form like him. And shares his weakness to Ground, so I'm gonna have to get a Water type or something.
