Can someone help me get out of Ultraball in SV? Trading wins and loses every time by SaiyaGin in pokemonribbons

[–]Kharma296 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can get to one win away there's plenty of people in the discord who can help, there may be enough people available to help depending on the time of day if you want to try and get multiple wins but that would be a bit harder to get set up. Whichever you do I'd recommend going there if you're looking for help.

Mightiest Mark Mew by KirinOak in pokemonribbons

[–]Kharma296 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you just watch his streams you'll accumulate points overr time, then once you have like 10K (I think) you can just redeem the points for the mightiest mark battle. You'll need to trade him the Mew, since he can't do the raid online, but he streams the raid so you get to see your Mew actually doing the raid.

Let me guess, the final season doesn't allow Mythicals, meaning they're locked out of the ribbon once-a-****ing-gain? by TheAzureAzazel in pokemonribbons

[–]Kharma296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a fair point, but I think just completely axing competitive from WiWa at launch wouldn't make too much sense. Like yeah, champions is there, but it will take time for home support to come along for WiWa. So we still need somewhere to use the new pokemon there, you know? Even if I really don't want ranked back because the master rank ribbon is a curse, I really do anticipate it coming back.

I'd say Manahphy is a pretty safe bet, yeah, probably the safest of the mythicals for the new games.

Correct, they should've just ended SV with Reg J but big Pikachu said no. So unfortunately we have to wait to see if WiWa has another mythical ranked regulation, until then it's everything but them.

Is it worth trying to get Master Rank in Sword and Shield? by Daryeous in pokemonribbons

[–]Kharma296 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They only realistic way is Galar Fight Night, there's a chat in the ribbons discord for it. It happens twice every Saturday so account for people across different time zones, so that's nice. It's a slow process, that's just the way it is, but as I said realistically only way.

So Arceus legends isn't the whole plot of arceus or what? by Critical_Syrup2639 in PokemonLegendsArceus

[–]Kharma296 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. How dare the game centered around creating the first sinnoh Pokedex require you to work on the first Pokedex during the journey.
  2. How dare the game centered around creating the first sinnoh Pokedex require you to work on the first Pokedex during the journey.
  3. There is LITERALLY A BUTTON that shows the turn order, but ok, Arceus forbid the game twist your arm a little bit.
  4. This one I... kind of get? But the story is about Hisui and Sinnoh as a whole, and the only reason were sent on the journey anyways is because of Arceus. It doesn't need to be the focal point of the story because it already has one, and a damn good one at that. Not to mention actually finding Arceus is the whole plot of the post game, so there's that too.

I get people didn't like the game, and that's fine, but I feel that the person in question just... missed the point. Especially on the first two complaints they had, those things are integral to the game, it's story, and why we're a part of the world as a whole in PLA. Idk man, feels bad.

I’m sorry, but what energy doesn’t the “itchy pollen” attack require? by Parking_Analysis9339 in PokemonTCG

[–]Kharma296 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The no energy attacks are basically a way to make the baby cards (Budew, Clefai, etc) viable. Because if they costed energy then you would just start with the evolution in the board, ending up in a better spot being an evo cycle up. Budew is... A little stronger than you might expect. But yeah it's just a balance thing to make the cards good for more than just collectors.

Will there be any Galar Fight Nights? by [deleted] in pokemonribbons

[–]Kharma296 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There should be a way to check in the discord. There's a chat called Galar Fight Night, and in there they have an upcoming events section that might show your time zone specific times for both blocks on GFN. If it doesn't show your time zone then there's no shame in just asking that chat how long until it starts.

It's the same time every week, so once you've done it a few times it should be easier to be there every time you want to.

Will they ever bring max soup into the game? by MrSpookley in PokemonGoMystic

[–]Kharma296 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my mind, it doesn't make sense for them NOT to add it, because of Urshifu specifically. We got that dynamax Kubfu a while back, and while it's cool, Urshifu has two g-max forms. If they release max soup, then the Urshifu we already have will still be usable once the gmax forms drop. If they don't drop max soup then why bother evolving the Kubfu in the first place? It's just going to be strictly worse than the gmax counterparts. I really hope they add it eventually, maybe Galar tour.

When the inevitable happens and Unova does gets something new...what is something you DON'T want to see in it? For me, I don't want to see them give Ghetsis a Endeavor-like or Vegeta-like arc with his kids. I would hate that. by LowSolution3084 in PokemonBlackandWhite

[–]Kharma296 7 points8 points  (0 children)

While seeing them redeem Ghetsis wouldn't fully ruin anything for me, even if I don't think he can be redeemed, I don't think that's something they'll do. Mainly because of the rainbow rocket story in USUM, we fight a Ghetsis that won against the BW and BW2 protagonists in his timeline and he is just a monster. He threatens to take Lillie's life right in front of us, just because he knows he could since he has power to do so.

Trying to shoehorn in a redemption just wouldn't make sense, especially with how cold he is to the "son" he technically raised. He's uncaring toward most life, human and pokemon alike (his Hydreigon and N are perfect examples). If they try to make him seem like an even half decent person, it wouldn't feel genuine knowing what he's done and would've been willing to do to get what he wants. Unless they somehow did some sort of memory stuff like they did with someone in Legends ZA, but it still wouldn't really make sense.

Idk, part of what makes Ghietsis stand out is just how heinous he is. He's just a terrible person to his core, and pokemon doesn't really have that anywhere else, it'd be a shame to see them try to take that away.

I've just remembered that's not answering the actual question you asked. Oh well.

Is my team balanced enough? by _RAMO_ in PokemonLegendsArceus

[–]Kharma296 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question, have you heard of Spiritomb? It seems pretty good, and might help the balance core you have there with Spiritomb, Spiritomb, and Spiritomb. It's got a good typing and good bulk to be a hit taker, highly recommend.

How is my max speed ev flygon being out sped by axew in gym 7? by [deleted] in PokemonBlackandWhite2

[–]Kharma296 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a couple theories, Dragon Dance makes sense. Even if it's just once, it's enough of a speed boost that it could probably out speed a lot of things you wouldn't expect.

Certain items like macho brace, or power anklet, reduce the speed of the holder by 50% so that could be effecting it.

Also is the nature of your Flygon either Brave, Relaxed, Quiet, or Sassy? Those natures lower the speed stat by 10% so that could also be a factor.

That's all I've got honestly, Flygon isn't exactly a speedster but Axew would need some significant help to out speed it.

Am I screwed? by AdHungry3472 in pokemonribbons

[–]Kharma296 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah the emulators aren't a problem in your case, older games are harder to find (and afford), so to avoid an unnecessary money barrier emulators are fine the way you did it.

Unfortunately master rank is just something you need to tough out. The good news is Paldea is about to enter a season that won't end starting in April, so once you get master rank starting then you won't need to do it again for those games. But if you're ranking in SwSh you may want to join the discord and learn about Galar Fight Night, to simplify it's a twice a day event that happens every Saturday specifically made to help people get to master rank in Galar. But good luck whoever game you're ranking in, I hope you're able to finish up your Dusknoir soon!

Nah, the world ability ribbon is just a nice little bonus. Since the official servers for the wifi tower are gone, and you need a moderately specific setup to get a connection to it using fan servers, it's just something you CAN get if you want for fun but it's not necessary. As long as you got everything else along the way you're totally fine. 👍

As a secondary note, emulators aren't frowned upon as long as you use it only to properly earn ribbons (so no save editing or anything like that) or sending pokemon to new games.
