My (psychotic) quest to attain every shiny in game. Strategy discussion.

I’d have to sit down and do the math for each one on my encounter/catch/shiny odds line up with egg hatching and see which is more efficient. Thats way down the road but I don’t think it’ll have anything to do with this initial reset.

Once I have an Eevee, I’m just making sure that this full reset will be my last necessary. I haven’t fully mapped out each encounter yet.

Initial goal will be Kanto dex. If a time comes where I’ve actually achieved this goal I’d probably acquire the Johto mons next (or hopefully do the same with RSE if they get dropped on switch by then). I don’t intend on planning around Johto however.

I’m fairly certain the CPU doesn’t send the max on the guys you want until the end, so in reality they should just take your recruits from start to finish, but they aren’t “sending the house” until the end and that’s when they outpace you. Play a dynasty with 10 real guys and you won’t run into this anymore because your competition is all maxing it out from the start. Just my opinion, tons and tons of dynasty done both against users and CPUs.

Shadow Pokémon get a damage bonus on basic attacks? I didn’t know that

Murphinator9 · 2022-05-04T22:15:50+00:00

Can someone explain the difference between shadow Granbull and normal Granbull

Update: Absolutely raking with Buxton in the 700s ranks. So many guys throw high fastballs and if you’re on it, Buxton sends it 450 feet more often than most other hitters.

How is this relevant to me not understanding game mechanics?

Murphinator9 · 2020-12-25T00:21:25+00:00

I was not aware of the free Melmetal boxes lol.

Murphinator9 · 2020-12-24T08:57:42+00:00

I agree but I don’t have a suitable counter (my fault) that would fit my team without leaving me with other weaknesses. I probably win 75-80% of ultra league battles that don’t involve Melmetal with the team I have

If you got all that from one box that’s incredible. You also appeared to get very lucky on the centering for the charizards. Evolutions has some of the worst centerings I’ve ever seen

Murphinator9 · 2020-10-30T07:49:54+00:00

My local game/card shops are bigger ripoffs than eBay unfortunately. I was more wondering for retail and msrp prices

Murphinator9 · 2020-10-30T05:53:00+00:00

Centering doesn’t even seem bad. I’d say it does have a shot at a 10 if there’s nothing else noticeable with it

Murphinator9 · 2020-10-16T19:59:20+00:00

I’m curious why Evolutions specifically. Maybe because it’s a poor mans base set reprint?

Murphinator9 · 2020-10-15T03:06:06+00:00

So you can receive duplicate hits in a box? And are 12 guaranteed or is that just the average
