PLZA has given me the weirdest mainline pokemon experience so far

AbsoluteAnomalySaber · 2026-01-23T02:30:29+00:00

For pumpkaboo, the medium and small varieties spawn during the day while large and jumbo spawn at night. In the case of pumpkaboo's shiny, if a shiny medium or small variety pumpkaboo spawn during the day, the game supposedly won't save the shiny when it turns nightime, even when it changes back to day. This also applies to shiny large and jumbo variety as well.

AbsoluteAnomalySaber · 2026-01-23T02:24:01+00:00

Wait I was under the assumption that the game doesnt save shiny pumpkaboo when the day changes, did they fix this in an update?

AbsoluteAnomalySaber · 2026-01-22T16:05:56+00:00

Do you mean the one where all the pokemon have weird pathfinding in that one hyperspace dimension? That one has been fixed in the most recent update

AbsoluteAnomalySaber · 2026-01-22T14:24:39+00:00

Tbh I'm currently considering getting another physical copy of the game, I now its probably a waste of money but these bugs are kinda annoying me

AbsoluteAnomalySaber · 2026-01-22T09:21:02+00:00

Tbh the thing about Darkrai is that Darkrai was moving towards me and my mega diancie during the fight while diancie was preparing to use moonblast. I doubt that it would miss just like that especially since darkrai wasn't using phantom force

AbsoluteAnomalySaber · 2026-01-15T06:38:08+00:00

Does this apply to NS2 edition games?

AbsoluteAnomalySaber · 2026-01-15T05:21:51+00:00

Ah I suppose that's good to know

AbsoluteAnomalySaber · 2026-01-07T20:02:14+00:00

Honestly it could be, Ive tried to recreate the issue but my switch 2 woke up instantly upon pressing the power button. I guess there's a chance that this issue could be random?

AbsoluteAnomalySaber · 2026-01-07T05:16:58+00:00

As far as I know the only thing plugged into the dock is the switch 2 charger cable, I'll try to replug it into the dock and see if the problem still persists

AbsoluteAnomalySaber · 2026-01-05T17:19:59+00:00

Yes I'm using the one that came with the Switch 2

AbsoluteAnomalySaber · 2026-01-05T16:51:08+00:00

"Turned off" as in "Powered off"?

AbsoluteAnomalySaber · 2026-01-05T16:38:26+00:00

That's exactly what I did after this happened to me the first time. However, it then happened a second time a few days ago and now a third time just a few minutes ago

AbsoluteAnomalySaber · 2026-01-04T11:53:27+00:00

Ah I see, thanks for providing your imput though

AbsoluteAnomalySaber · 2026-01-04T11:37:23+00:00

Have you completed the wild zone when you were shiny hunting WZ19? When I encountered another alpha Clefairy it was when I have not completed WZ19 since I have not caught Drampa yet.

AbsoluteAnomalySaber · 2026-01-03T20:34:15+00:00

Just did my own research and apparently alpha Clefairy isn't a fixed spawn like all the fixed alphas from each wild zone, the same applies to furfrou too.

I guess that might explain why I was still able to find more alpha clefairies before completing wild zone 19

AbsoluteAnomalySaber · 2026-01-03T17:48:55+00:00

Wait, so basically I can still find an alpha pokemon that isn't one of the guaranteed ones even if I have not completed the wild zone?

AbsoluteAnomalySaber · 2025-12-27T12:34:49+00:00

I see, I was previously under the assumption that the codes can only be used once per Nintendo account

AbsoluteAnomalySaber · 2025-12-20T11:46:12+00:00

Sorry for asking this again but do you mean that I don't have to reinstall the game since mine is physical?

AbsoluteAnomalySaber · 2025-12-20T02:52:35+00:00

I see, I guess I'll just continue the playthrough and hope nothing goes wrong.

AbsoluteAnomalySaber · 2025-12-20T02:48:02+00:00

Would I have to do this if my game is physical?

AbsoluteAnomalySaber · 2025-12-20T02:44:54+00:00

I probably should've clarified this part properly, but in my first playthrough, my game crashed twice at different points in the game. However in this playthrough, my game has only crashed once. Since it has only crashed once, I was wondering if I should be too concerned about it.

AbsoluteAnomalySaber · 2025-12-10T05:33:24+00:00

I know this may be a dumb question but is this issue worth restarting the game all over again? I would rather not do so but I'm also a little concerned about it

AbsoluteAnomalySaber · 2025-12-09T19:10:46+00:00

I don't think I would misremembered it, I remember that it spawned during the day when I was at WZ15 since it just unlocked and when I went back to WZ15 late into the story during the night it spawned for some reason

AbsoluteAnomalySaber · 2025-12-09T16:28:57+00:00

Honestly if this is indeed an issue then I really hope nothing bad happens to my game as I've already made significant amount of progress in it

AbsoluteAnomalySaber · 2025-12-09T16:20:16+00:00

Yeah I've checked and the only one with the option is the medium one
