Happy 1 Year Annivesary PLA!
This game is important to me on so many levels. Not only was it one of the greatest games in the entire series, filled to the brim with fascinating gameplay, characters, fanservice and new mons, it was also the first game I was around for from release that I got to experience along with everyone else on here. And seeing everyone's universal reactions to stuff like the Hisuian forms, references and Volo's betrayal? It was such a wholesome event that I wish I could relive all over again.
I decided to pop on the game again in commemoration and ended up finding a shiny Onix that I evolved all the way into a Steelix. I'd say it's quite fitting: a golden shiny for a golden game 🥰
Snarl + calm mind Umbreon basically solo'd the entire game for me, including Volo. Incredible Pokémon in this game. As a whole, the more bulky Pokémon were very viable here, which I appreciated since they often feel like dead weight in the main games.
My favourite Pokémon game since the fifth generation — i cannot wait for another legends.
@Rawrie in this game, moves like Snarl and Call mind (stat lowering and stat boosting moves) are an excellent strategy since they always lower both the special and physical offences/defences. Umbreon was excellent in that regard, but I figure there are other pokémon that could serve the purpose. I accidentally triggered the fight with Volo underlevelled and unprepared, but Umbreon's natural bulk did a lot in combination with those moves. I think my Togekiss dealt with the pokemon Umbreon couldn't face.
I don't know how the mechanics of this game really work, but both in trainer battles and wild ones, I was often attacked twice before I could move, so I gravitated to slow, defensive mons and that worked really well for me.
As for a gen 5 legends ... I would love if they expanded on the first dragon lore, before it was split in Zekrom, Reshiram and Kyurem.
I honestly don't know, sorry. My team was a Golem, Decidueye, Garchomp, Toxicroak, Heracross and Luxray (All nicknamed and in mid 60s-80s). I gave them all diverse movesets and maxed them out with Grit items, and Volo still took a couple tries. He's pretty tough. Hope this stuff helps, though I don't know if it will.
Here's a pic of me and my fully-evolved starter. (The outfit I'm wearing is the "Fancy Kimono" set focusing on Shaymin, which you can only get by having save data from either Pokémon Sword or Shield on the Switch)
@card-crunch78 Have fun! I played PLA earlier this year and even went as far as to fully complete the Pokedex. It's crazy how addicted I became to the overworld exploration and mechanics. I found the game to be a nice change of pace from previous mainline Pokemon entries.
Currently playing: Dragon Quest I HD-2D Remake (Switch), Hades (Switch)
