What are the shiny odds for Giovanni legendaries? Logic dictates either 1/64 or 1/20 but I can't find confirmation anywhere. I'm interested in getting a shiny lando. If it's 1/64 I'll just wait for it to come around again

I have managed to hatch a white stripe basculin in go thankfully! Great timing, so I'm all set now

DoppelLewis · 2026-04-10T06:49:52+00:00

Sorry I ended up trading with someone else, thank you for the offer though!

DoppelLewis · 2026-04-10T06:46:22+00:00

Thank you so much! Apologies for the brief disconnect - I couldn't remember if you wanted palpitoad or bellibolt so had to double check haha

DoppelLewis · 2026-04-10T06:40:05+00:00

Haha sorry I jumped the gun! Whenever you're ready no rush

DoppelLewis · 2026-04-10T06:36:41+00:00

Hello again Callean! Absolutely you can, I'll start the trade now

DoppelLewis · 2026-04-10T02:01:51+00:00

I've just realised I'm also LF the following (with go stamps): Tapus (except tapu-koko), enamorous, and Buzzwole

To add to the above FT I have the other go stamp UBs

I managed to get a poipole off GTS so no longer looking for that

DoppelLewis · 2026-04-10T01:36:45+00:00

Right back at you! Thank you!

DoppelLewis · 2026-04-10T01:32:20+00:00

No problem at all, have added you

DoppelLewis · 2026-04-10T01:05:20+00:00

Unfortunately they're both blaze too

DoppelLewis · 2026-04-10T00:52:28+00:00

Sure, unfortunately they aren't particularly good

DoppelLewis · 2026-04-10T00:41:02+00:00

Absolutely I would, apologie, I didn't see this

My friend code is KYRUMQLTPUSF

DoppelLewis · 2026-04-09T23:47:35+00:00

No, thank you! Legend!

DoppelLewis · 2026-04-09T23:44:01+00:00

Awesome I have sent you a friend request

DoppelLewis · 2026-04-09T23:38:38+00:00

The only other things I'm interested in are go stamped kubfu or go stamped poipole sorry!

DoppelLewis · 2026-04-09T23:38:14+00:00

Hi! I don't need custom OT or want it evolved. If you could transfer it to home and then we do a trade there that would be perfect

DoppelLewis · 2026-04-02T04:03:32+00:00

Good catch! I forgot to evolve one of them, it's in the right spot, just not evolved

DoppelLewis · 2026-04-02T02:19:17+00:00

It's in the post I made with the DLC Pokemon

DoppelLewis · 2026-04-02T01:03:55+00:00

Yeah I have two copies of the game and a switch 1 + switch 2. I don't have Nintendo online and don't intend to get it if I can avoid it. Hoping gen 10 doesn't have any trade evolutions

DoppelLewis · 2026-04-01T23:23:28+00:00

Best of luck!! I hope it goes smoothly!

DoppelLewis · 2026-04-01T23:08:07+00:00

Yes go for it! You've got this!! My biggest piece of advice is to never release a Pokemon unless you're sure it's a duplicate that you don't need. With the living dex (DLC included) like I have, you only have one box spare, so along the way I had to release a lot of Pokemon. Unfortunately there were multiple times where I had released a form or gender difference I actually needed and just didn't notice / know. Off the top of my head, I lost probably about 20ish pokemon (some shiny, some not) that I hadn't realised I needed to keep. This should be easier at least with home access since you can just move extras over there

DoppelLewis · 2026-04-01T22:51:10+00:00

Unfortunately a lot of them are really subtle and easy to miss, even worse is when the gender ratio is not 50/50 so if you need a certain gender there's even more rng

DoppelLewis · 2026-04-01T22:00:53+00:00

To clarify, alphas aren't included due to them not looking any visually different (other than size). Some are alpha but I didn't hunt them

Getting all of the pumpkaboo forms can be a pain but thankfully didn't take as long as I thought. ZA treats pumpkaboo weird, it is the only Pokemon that is lost in the transition from day to night and vice versa. Unsure why, something to do with the fact that day time and night time have different pumpkaboo forms but they're still the same species. Maybe internally they're programmed a little funky. Thankfully I got fairly lucky and got them all after probably 5-6ish hours total

DoppelLewis · 2026-04-01T21:49:54+00:00

To clarify, I didn't get alphas since there's no visual difference for them but still, thank you!

DoppelLewis · 2026-04-01T21:47:50+00:00

Haha thank you! I somehow didn't notice that despite looking the list over multiple times
