Topic: Pokemon Sword & Shield

Yeah, but with only 25 available natures, I figured resetting wouldn't take too long. ∼64% chance after 25 times of getting at least one. I'm currently on my 60th try, that's normally 91% chance of getting one, but I'm in the unlucky 9%... I'm not giving up now..!

@SonicMos Never mind, 75 tries and I managed to get one. Saves me 50BP!

Does anyone have a spare G-Max Orbeetle?

@SonicMos Do you want something in return?

@SonicMos Awesome! I'll add you on Switch.

@SonicMos Alright, I've done the same!

@SonicMos Yeah, that me lol.

@SonicMos Sorry, had to delete that one, I don't really want my personal info out there, but my in game name isn't my Switch name.

Thanks a bunch though! I was looking for it for a good while, but now that it's out of rotation I was certain I was out of luck.

need these to compplete the dex, don't need spares, just want a complete dex. any help would be appreciated 206, 210, 211, 213, 224, 225, 249, 254, 260, 266, 281, 282, 291, 293, 325, 339, 343, 347, 363, 374, 375, 382, 392, 393, 394, 398

I've just put my copy of Sword on ebay, I think this is the first Poke game I've sold within the first 6 months of getting it. Even with the DLC I don't feel a post game investment in it, it's strange as building a team is the biggest part of the game for me, I normally put up with the story just so I can get to that point.

Not sure if this is the right place to put this but has anyone else seen Zacian, Zamazenta or Eternamax Eternatus in Raids? I'm not 100% sure it is them but when connecting to the internet and looking at the seeking stamps, I will occasionally see people searching for raid partners to help with pokemon that look strangely similar to the three legendaries.

Two of them had the exact same typing too (saw the Zacian one once but was distracted by a potential shiny gmax Eevee so didn't think about it much at the time). In all cases I've seen it they were locked, so would have needed a code to join. I'm assuming it's a hack and not an actual in-game event since I can't find anything about it anywhere.

Is Pokémon home worth getting with the game?

So I've been playing in the online tournament; and there's one thing I notice. If I have to face a trainer with one or more pseudo-legendary I lose; otherwise I win. They are downright broken, and simply not fun to battle. Why are they so strong? Why are they allowed? I know it's only going to get worse once all the legendary trios are released; because those are in the same base stat range.

Alright, so I've pretty much found a way to eliminate Tyrannitar effectively, with Bolt Beak Dracozolt. But it's usually paired with Excadrill, which poses a problem.

@AndyD Pokemon home is kind of worth it. You can find some interesting things on GTS

@Gravitron Thanks! I don't have any previous games so this is kind of a restart for me with Sword and Shield...so I may pick up lets go just so I can get several of the original ones over to sword at some point. I don't own a 3ds any more, so utilizing the other gen's pokemon is going to be difficult for me.

Without prior games...is let’s go the best way to get the original 150 to bring over? I don’t want to track all the old ds and 3ds games down and work thru them.

@AndyD You can't get all of the original Pokemon in Sword and Shield. Just play the game. Wonder trade also works, and you can get the missing Pokemon if you're lucky.

So I completed the story. Question about the dlc. Is the second dlc supposed to introduce the legendary Pokémon back and not just with transfer? I know it was rumored. Because I never got any of the 3ds versions.

@AndyD Yes, at 2:09 you see that the legendaries will be max raid battles. Whether that'll be story related max raid battles or limited time online ones is unknown.
