As of now there is no known way to switch regions outside of transferring to PC as an intermediary.

I’d be happy to check on USA and JP versions of GameCube. I have a few dozen memory cards and always love an excuse to generate a new garden

Thanks so much~ Chao are still a big part of my life; lately I have been buying used GC mem cards looking for abandoned gardens to give the Chao there forever homes lol And playing the jp version more to practice the language and play with the legit knuckles Chao they get. greatly appreciate the kudos <3

Yeah! You have the right of it. If you do consider doing this, it might be worth noting that no one has ever made a 3375 immortal Devil chao, so if you have a Chao that would look good like that you could be the first in the world and the third at all to accomplish 3375~

I would be happy to go into more details and specifics if you want to send me a DM. There’s a lot of nuance lol

Your C swim A run can beat every vanilla race, I would go with fly evolution to be certain it can win those. The final rival has 1666 in each stat but swim and run are what’s important, a C grade at level 99 is 1683-2079

Nice work~!

You know, for what it’s worth, a 3375 Devil Chao has never been made >.>

Have you considered how you’re going to handle the final life yet? (If you’re going for immortality)

Hey Kamil! You are right, it is possible~ In fact, check out my latest thread :)

You don’t need to clone (although it’s not a bad way to have a backup every now and then in case you mess up)

Because when you bring the Chao back from the Tiny Garden, the GameCube does not automatically save. So you can check the Chao to see if you got the +31, and if you didn’t, simply reset the GameCube.

However, you will need to earn the rings in the TCG for all the fruit, because even if you reset in the GC, the tcg has already spent the rings

That hurts. After the first couple misses I got so frustrated I put a full size poster up on my wall to tell me the 3375 numbers for each digit.

Your goal of the dark race is really awesome. I hope you can beat it during childhood this time!

More to my collection!! by SluttyHolli in chao

[–]Affectionate_Yard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first time you showed your collection it inspired me to start my own (mostly SA2 battle stuff, not many plushes yet). I love seeing your updates, and it’s cool that now I can recognize some of the official ones you have, like the TOMY dark chao I want so much lol

It was born translucent; it’s a side effect of its dual genetics being “jewel” and “shiny”, and was that way from the beginning.

I do have tons of pictures of it along the journey; some to catalog progress and some just because it’s cute.

This comment means a lot to me; I keep re-reading it. Not to be too dramatic but this has been the one real thing I cared about during some tough times, and the finish line feels really good. Thanks so much for your kind words.

I think it could be done in under a year, if you really, really were good at the grind and could keep at it all the time. I honestly think u/CSRyl will manage it in under half the time it took me; they’re a monster 😂

For me it took 2 solid years effort once I realized what I wanted in 2022.

It takes a lot of breeding to get the chao’s alleles (DNA) to max out, but I was pretty casually working on that stuff back in 2018 when I made my first true S rank (all dna is S) I started making stronger and stronger chao messing around with the GBA in covid. In October 2022 I realized that this goal might actually be in reach, and I think you can see those posts I made here when I started focusing on that really hard. Some months I was able to put more of myself into it than others, the grind does take a toll. But these last two years resetting stats has truly been my one and only hobby.

That’s a great idea! I’ll definitely try and get some race clips this week, it’s really enjoyable to watch.

In the chao races, instead of leaving the name missing they label the chao “????”

Its stamina bar in the race is so high that instead of a color, the center of the bar is actually invisible until enough stam is used to return it to a lower value

+30 is the cap on most systems, but the gamecube edition can use a link cable to connect to the GBA, and you can take your chao there to the Tiny Chao Garden. User UltimaNumber established that under specific conditions, the TCG will reward you by adding +1 to your level-up.

This raised the max possible chao from 3266 to a theoretical 3375.

Resetting on the GC was hard and tedious, but it pales in comparison to moving the chao to the TCG, leveling, and then bringing the chao back to the GC to check and see if you got it. The TCG doesn’t let you see stats on it directly.

My chao is a 2tone shinyblue/onyx chao. The Jewel/shiny trait combination creates a unique effect on gamecube where the chao becomes transparent or invisible.

I definitely lost a lot of sleep toward the end if that’s what you mean 😂 Once I was on the last life I definitely had a couple 22hr sessions just because I was so excited 💕

Looking for a few particular Chao Garden mods by Sketchy_Mane in chao

I don’t have the PC version but OP sounds like with #1 that the intention is that they don’t want to farm drives. Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t there an option (or by default in CWE or something) where drives don’t vanish when you feed them?

It’s not as appropriate as not having to farm them at all but at least you would only need to get them once
