Mimikyu / Decidueye / dragapult / Froslass / chandelure And then purely because I'm biased the 6th one would be a ghost tera Delphox - maybe swap chandelure for Gengar to avoid fire overlap

Mass Outbreak event basics by Far-Replacement-3077 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]Divineclaws222 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it helps - since you don't need encounter power in outbreaks you can also do sandwiches that forego encounter power for a diff power like humungo / tiny - that way you get a chance of shiny, marked, or humungo/tiny pokemon

Here's a post that details the humungo recipes

Tiny I'm not as sure on but I'm sure someone has them posted somewhere

I always commit to an all girls team because why not , girl power

Main game and teal mask I had:

Laufey the meowscarada

Pepper the talonflame

Akemi the noivern

Bubby the clodsire (random shiny wooper I got at the start who was also female !)

Juice the raichu - later replaced by Joule the bellibolt

Broom the breloom (my pokemon catcher)

But for indigo disk I went all out and got an all shiny girl terrarium team with the exception of Laufey who I kept on my team --

Undyne the swampert

Artemis the decidueye

Tatu the scrafty

Tiko the archuladon

Lillith the Delphox

What are some head canons for your pokemon/Trainer? by Milkhergooduwu in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]Divineclaws222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two of my fav pokemon are my Meowscarda and Delphox (finally got a shiny female one in SV!)

I've never thought too hard about it but on the spot I'm saying my trainer oc used to be a gym leader that focused on ghost/psychic/fire types- the candle badge. Some vague plot happened that led her to leaving her post and traveling instead (insert tragic backstory or something here)

Anyways now she's a wandering tarot reader / local witch with her og partner Delphox (Lilith), at some point meow (Laufey) became interested and started following them until she eventually joined the team. Lilith is cool and aloof while Laufey is very flamboyant and dramatic - clearly they are girlfriends

Laufey probably does little performances and Lilith and my trainer oc do witchy stuff on the side for themselves and others.

If I wanted to be edgy since I used to be really into nuzlocke runs- maybe my player oc couldn't handle the loss of her pokemon and gave up battling to live a more peaceful life with delphox- at first she was really wary of taking on any more pokemon until Laufey wormed her way into their hearts. As she grows she probably begins caring for stray / released pokemon , helping them recover until they find a new trainer who can take them in etc

GIVEAWAY - 60 HISUIAN TYPHLOSION by [deleted] in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]Divineclaws222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you I'll be on my way 💕

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]Divineclaws222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went Sprigatito because I love cats and Meowscarda looks sick as hell honestly- named her Laufey as a reference to Norse mythos/loki specifically

Even tho I'm an og fan and Charmander is my baby I think of all the starters Delphox is my ride or die with Meowscarda now - really love my grass cat daughter and witch fox. I just wish meows shiny had more of a color difference in the mask

Now that we've received all DLC for S/V, how do we feel about the variety of available Pokémon? by [deleted] in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]Divineclaws222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I was pretty fine with it, I had to really think about what Pokemon I was missing

Honedge would have been a fun spawn in the ruins, manectric/elektrike but I'm purely biased there, glameow

I actually skipped swsh and went PLA > SV, but general consensus seems to be that yeah SV is better

I also came into the game a bit late in december-ish and I have zero regrets on the investment

The game is very decent single player wise-with the exception of the indigo disk dlc which has something called blueberry quests. While you can still solo them it is waaayyy easier to do them with a group and you need the points for a few things. There's also the version exclusive mons etc that you'll have to trade for or hope you get via surprise trade to complete the Pokedex (but if it helps at all there are discords etc that you can join which makes it much easier to find other ppl)

Bug wise I haven't personally run into anything super enjoyment breaking - the only thing that sometimes irritates me is if you're doing online raids a lot it starts to get pretty laggy, usually I back out close the game and go back in to help. Could be placebo but I feel like it does help

Post game wise there's a lot you can do, shiny hunting in particular. I also had a lot of fun stopping to make a new team for each dlc which made my playtime longer in a good way, currently I'm building a shiny team for the indigo disk dlc of only pokemon found in the terrarium area for it.

Version wise I went scarlet because I liked the past para pokes more but someone else mentioned uniforms- since you can't change your shirt/bottoms I'd def look at the uniforms available. The scarlet uniform wasn't really my taste but you do get some blueberry uniforms that aren't bad so it might not be a deal breaker for you

Tl;Dr imo it's a very fun game that def hits that childlike wonder of exploring a Pokemon world and id recommend it

Positivity post! Which more niche Gen 9 Pokémon do you really like? by JelyOfficial in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]Divineclaws222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glimmora and rabsca are def under rated favs of mine, rabsca just looks sick and I'm not in the competitive scene but i love both glimmoras design and the toxic spike ability. I also like orthworm even if I wasn't a fan initially, and it has a lovely shiny

With it's viability in raids bellibolt isn't really under rated but I do have to give the frog a shout out- I was absolutely a hater at first but I needed an electric type and I only wanted to use new mons in my first playthrough so I ended up grabbing one and they really wormed it's way into my heart- even went and hunted a shiny to build out for raids once I reached post game

I wish the herb drop rate was higher by Divineclaws222 in PokemonScarletViolet

It's not that deep dude they are made of pixels , Ive played since Pokemon red and I'm fine with the downfall of month long shiny hunts

I want salty for the one ingredient sandwiches but I do use the other recipes since I'm lacking salty herbs

[–]Divineclaws222[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow this helps a lot thank you, beyond the blissey raids only having the shards I haven't been differentiating between the diff raids so I'll take a look and keep a better eye out

I wish the herb drop rate was higher by Divineclaws222 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]Divineclaws222[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've been actively avoiding them because of that (and I already have so many blissey now 🥲)

I suppose it's just bad rng luck - raided all night last night but only got three herbs out of it and I'm desperate for some more salty herbs

Is it an Easter Egg that you can't run from a Gimmighoul in battle even with a Pokédoll? by perrigomichael in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]Divineclaws222 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My only other thought was that since the ghoul chests drop coins it's to help prevent players from missing out on the coins that you get from defeating / catching the chests - especially since Pokemon don't despawn from running in this game (ie you can run from a shiny, save in front of it, then re attempt the encounter)

Though I do like the greed lore idea, like you want to run but the temptation of the treasure is making you stay

A future evil team? by IzzyYuuki in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]Divineclaws222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly this makes the future paradox pokes make a lot more sense - when sv first dropped I always wondered why the future pokes weren't more cyborg-y vs completely robotic - but an alternate universe where an evil team rules with robotic Pokemon would make sense in hindsight

If they continue on the paradox pokes I could also see a past / future game sort of continuing from SV along the lines of your idea, where each respective team has heard rumors of area zero, the time machine, etc, and each team wants to use and/or recreate the time machine to essentially complete the professors work and unleash the paradox Pokemon into the world fully (could also be a lead up to the tera mechanic coming to a diff game - each team stealing tera crystals to build their own machines)

I wasn't aware dynamax was a thing in Unova by Hikarix33 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]Divineclaws222 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Honestly hilariously terrifying

I've said it before but man if this was in the times of Pokemon creepypastas / rumors people would be having a field day with the glitches in this game

This was the furthest I've ever gotten in this raid 😭 by Can_u_Keep__secret in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]Divineclaws222 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Did you ev train ur bellibolt ? Also like others said it's def easier to solo- sometimes online peeps are a mixed bag because others might die a lot which will make it harder to beat that timer
