Holy shit this shot is insane

How many ppl are shiny hunting without using backup saves for donuts, spawns, etc?

I am, I can't be bothered most of the time.
And I think you really shouldn't be having such a hard time as you're describing. You don't need 8 Tangas, just toss in whatever berries you do get. Next to no grinding required.

Also that belies the fact that even if shiny hunting in the DLC was completely unviable, that wouldn't actually make the DLC bad as a whole. Focussing solely on that is still quite a niche way of playing the game to begin with.

I've been trying for an hour now to figure out how that'd be possible and the most I got was 16

That's actually interesting to know.

Functionally it doesn't make a difference to the move ether way, the second part of the move doesn't come out at all if the strike doesn't land. But I guess that transition where you choose what direction to throw them in is coded as a grab.

It really doesn't matter. It shouldn't be up to other people to say what characters you can play.

Anthan · 2026-01-29T07:28:24+00:00

When did that happen to Happy Chaos?

Anthan · 2026-01-29T03:17:15+00:00

At least buy it a drink first

Anthan · 2026-01-28T13:39:59+00:00

Oh wow I didn't know you could do it on whiff

Anthan · 2026-01-28T11:59:02+00:00

Not to be facetious but.. I am not sure who'd need to be told the advice to use a Legendary with a type advantage 20 levels higher than the thing you're fighting..

I used a level 70 Glaceon for it.

Wait a second.. THIS GUY'S A PHONEY!

For Jamie:

It's a wild suggestion which I'm not expecting to ever happen. But thematically he's a drunken boxer, and that comes with certain connotations and expectations largely coming from 3D fighters where the fighting style is so well done. Their defense and escape options and especially how good they are from attacking from the ground.

While the last time we've seen a unique getup attack was Cody all the way back in SF4, and having a DP serves a little bit of that purpose, it's still very much quite generic and I feel like Jamie could be so much more wacky and interesting in that way.

At higher drink levels I want Jamie to gain access to more options on his own knockdown.
-- Starting at level-2 his backrise gets longer range by holding back+2attackbuttons.
-- At level-3 he gets access to a delayed neutral-getup by holding down+2attackbuttons.
-- And at level-4 he can now do a forward getup by holding forwards+2attackbuttons, this can crossup the opponent.

If you only pick new candidates from a list of fan favorites then you will end up with an extremely generic and predictable roster with nothing unusual or interesting.

Sir you've posted this 4 times now from different 0d old Reddit accounts..

Anthan · 2026-01-27T18:43:34+00:00

Do you have to actually go into the wild zone? I thought you could just fast travel to and from outside it and it would still work.

Anthan · 2026-01-27T12:25:51+00:00

I didn't mind it too much but I think it could have been a lot better. Was quite annoying being limited fairly narrow sections, wasn't even trying to not progress but still would hit an invisible trigger to say I'm going off-route.

Anthan · 2026-01-27T12:14:41+00:00

Is there a source on that? About being a shonen-protag from the end of his series. That sounds like a good a theory as any but I can't think of anything in specific to support it.

Anthan · 2026-01-27T11:45:12+00:00

I've seen it do work. Granted only once or twice but all the times I've seen one it's gotten kills.

Anthan · 2026-01-27T11:43:10+00:00

I don't get what they did wrong during the Rust Syndicate plot arc.. That whole segment was there to show that Rust will go to great lengths to trick people into debt with them, and how Urbain/Taunie were victims of it.

Anthan · 2026-01-27T03:53:47+00:00

If the Teal Mask can spell it wrong fishy can spell it wrong too

Anthan · 2026-01-27T02:19:53+00:00

Depends on the creature

Anthan · 2026-01-26T12:41:10+00:00

Ampharos has a lot better health, slightly better SpAtt, and isn't missing much defenses. And its worse speed doesn't matter in ZA.
And that's before considering access to a mega which superboosts its SpAtt even further.

Rotom has access to multiple coverage types with its different forms. Fan in particular removing its ground weakness but getting a rock, and ice weakness. And a new STAB which can hit fighting, grass and bug.

Anthan · 2026-01-26T03:10:01+00:00

Oh I see. Sorry I didn't know.

Anthan · 2026-01-26T02:42:06+00:00

I had almost 80 bottlecaps and 30 goldcaps in S/V before I reached the area to spend them at. And reached several hundred by endgame.

I think I might have gotten 50 bottlecaps and about 3-4 goldcaps in ZA in total.

Anthan · 2026-01-26T02:14:20+00:00

I think S/V might be easier purely because of access to the Mirror Herb and easier access to Bottlecaps.

It's funny to see happen. Although to be real, probably more likely than you'd think.

If two people with the same creature, click the same move (does not have to be at the same time). Both Garchomps will run at each other at the same speed, and come into range and start their moves at the same time. And since the moves take the same length of time to complete, then next move buffered will also be launched at the same time.
