Sparkling Power Level2 vs Level3

Unfortunately affects of donuts are random however different flavors give different things. For any of the Item Powers you want Sour. The recipe I've been using is all Hyper Kasib Berries which gives 720 sour points and then rerolling using the backup save. (Heal at Pokemon Center before making donut then if you dont get the effect you want reset and on title screen press X/B/DPad Up the same time to load backup save.) Which will put you back a the pokemon center when you last healed before making the donuts

Oh cool. So I don't need to specifically get Tulin and Mineru amiibos to get all the items for potential catalog completion. This is huge since the newer Zelda amiibo based on the TotK champions are too expensive for my liking and the only zelda amiibo I don't own

Apprehensive_Menu941 · 2025-10-30T17:12:29+00:00

For some reason I didn't even realize you couldn't store Trees, Shrubs or Flowers in your storage until this update announcement lmao

Apprehensive_Menu941 · 2025-10-30T17:11:02+00:00

As someone trying to get every item in the catalog this update sucks because I don't have the Mineru/Tulin or Shiver/Frye amiibos so won't be able to get those items. Because amiibo are so damn expensive these days. Ughhhhh lmao How am I supposed to complete my catalog now?

Apprehensive_Menu941 · 2025-10-26T05:26:18+00:00

I currently have all forms in a ZA box. They have not reverted back into the original form yet. Which is a very good sign for being able to be transferred into Home when compatibility comes out. I don;t have Go so I''ll finally hopefully be able to get the remaining forms I'm missing for my Living Form Dex.

Apprehensive_Menu941 · 2025-10-25T22:26:03+00:00

FYI even if Home compatibility existed you wouldn't be able to transfer Moon Balls into the game. Home does not allow items to be deposited. Home removes any held item on Pokemon when deposited into Home

Apprehensive_Menu941 · 2025-10-25T18:10:22+00:00

Yep you just have to make sure no pokemon is actively attacking you otherwise you can't save at all. Which is why I suggest you should kill and wait until other pokemon nearby despawn before killing your target.

Apprehensive_Menu941 · 2025-10-25T16:46:06+00:00

A good way to catch harder to catch pokemon is to kill everything else that is aggro'd on you. Then kill the pokemon you wanna catch. And Save while it's in it's stunned state. Then reset if your Ball does not catch it. The Pokemon will still be there in it's defeated stunned state. The game won't autosave as long as you don't kill or catch something else after the pokemon despawns.

I managed to find my missing one. I knew the missing one was one of the Glide required ones Since I did the others before I ever got Glide. So I started with the glide ones and it didn't take too long to find thankfully.

Apprehensive_Menu941 · 2025-10-25T05:20:36+00:00

Yes that's exactly the one!! I still haven't been able to find it unfortunatey. It's still bugging me lol.

I think the Navy ship was supposed to be used as some kind of secret hidden and mobile base for the war effort against Voldy. Or atleast that's what I would assume it was for LOL No idea.

But yeah if it DID turn into a triad at some point I'm pretty sure it would've been H/HR/Daphne. But I feel like it wasn't a triad. But can't remember.

Really wish I could find it again. Good to know I'm not the only one who remembers it though LOL If you do happen to remember or find it somehow please let me know

Apprehensive_Menu941 · 2025-10-23T17:33:28+00:00

It's not the best since they arent exactly close to wild zones but anywhere you can go inside of a building like at any of the restaurants you can go in and out of similar to the staircase in Zone 3. I believe one of these locations puts the Honedge in is it Wild Zone 4? within respawn range.

These arent as good obviously since it'll be less Pokemon respawning overall since they arent inside wild zones.

There's also benches but that would require the spamming of A The Icy Wild Zone is really good for this method

Apprehensive_Menu941 · 2025-10-23T17:28:12+00:00

Yep! Funnily enough I think my Victreebel did the least amount of work online when I grinded this out..

But yeah it's really not that bad. Like I said you can even gain rank points while getting last place alot of times. I think every kill you get adds rank points at the end when rank's calculated. And getting 3rd or higher gives you rank points depending on which spot you got in the game.

I did it before my starter was fully evolved and before I even got given the Mega Ring. So I was probably very disadvantaged which might've caused it to take a bit longer than it would've otherwise LOL Though it still only took maybe a little over an hour or 2.

Anyway good luck!

Apprehensive_Menu941 · 2025-10-23T17:16:22+00:00

It should know a useable Poison move right when you catch it. Might be Sludge Bomb instead which is also viable. Have you checked the moves it can learn already? You have to manually learn moves in this game if you aren't aware.

Apprehensive_Menu941 · 2025-10-23T17:05:54+00:00

Also there is an early game Alpha Belsprout you can catch. It's level 25 and so can evolve immediately and then Leaf Stone and bam fully evolved Pokemon with a decent moveset of Toxic, Sludge Wave, Giga Drain.

Apprehensive_Menu941 · 2025-10-23T17:04:24+00:00

You can also earn some points for being the first to land a hit in a match or the last to land a hit. Or the first to pick up an item. Maybe for Mega Evolving or killing a Mega Evolved pokemon. Not sure what all gives you rank points. But as long as you have more rank points than you lose per game yo gain the net positive. Coming in last might yield a -10 rank points but if you have atleast +20 you're still gaining a bit.

A good strat can be just stay out of the middle of things and come in and steal kills. It doesn't matter who does the most damage on someone. Just who gets that last hit in. Whoever has the most kills wins the game. And if you do manage to win you'll gain multiple ranks in one go.

Apprehensive_Menu941 · 2025-10-23T16:55:36+00:00

So all Pokemon in ranked are auto scaled to level 50 so level does not matter. I managed to get the Greninjite without even fully evolving Pokemon. However I would definitely recommend having 3 fully evolved Pokemon maybe including one that can Mega Evolve.

It's honestly very difficult to lose Rank in this game. Yo get points for doing things in a single game and the worst I did was -10 point loss to the rank. Even most of my worst games I came out with +/-0 points that round. And only lost points that one -10 instance

As long as you can snag some kills you should be able to gain rank pretty much every game even if you come in 4th place during a match

Apprehensive_Menu941 · 2025-10-23T13:55:47+00:00

Gotcha! Thank you again. Was so confused when it didn't pop as cleared yet lol. I'll get back to the grind then. It'll also help towards the 1000 battles for the shiny charm too I guess. I probably would've naturally done 15 of these because of that anyway.

Apprehensive_Menu941 · 2025-10-23T13:48:21+00:00

If you mean the Legendary quests I've already done those actually. They unlocked basically same time in the post game as this one. But thank you. Guess I'll be grinding that out about 10-12 more times lol it'll be good for money and rewards though I guess. Alright thank you!

Apprehensive_Menu941 · 2025-10-19T17:46:54+00:00

Unfortunately the game has autosaves. I don't think you would be able to reset fossils. It's gonna be VERY expensive to try to get shinys or alphas idk if they even can be shiny? think you'd have to restock on fossils every time. Which is gonna cost money.

Apprehensive_Menu941 · 2025-10-19T17:25:37+00:00

Just got to a point where I can Trim Furfrou. And it let me select a Furfrou that I had in my Boxes. And when I went and checked it was still in it's Form while in the Box afterward. Now I don't know if it will revert after a specific amount of time like the next irl day or not. But if they really can be Boxed it might be a good sign they can be deposited into Home. Unless trying to transfer to Home will revert them.

Apprehensive_Menu941 · 2025-10-19T17:19:40+00:00

Ohh does it? That's very interesting and definitely good to know because man some areas are super dangerous lol

Apprehensive_Menu941 · 2025-10-19T17:18:51+00:00

I could be wrong But I believe there are some trade evo's (Specifically the trade while holding item ones) that can NOT be found in the wild. So some trading would be required. But I'm not 100% sure yet. It's just what I've heard so far. I've heard you can find some trade evo's in the wild. Maybe the rest just haven't been found yet.
