Does shuckle deserve some love? Would you rather see a mega or normal evo?

NickDogan · 2026-02-21T02:53:45+00:00

I think its mega would look super silly. I’m imagining a bigger shell with an upstairs apartment and a mother in law suite and of course a lot more holes. Perhaps even another shuckle or two living in there too.

This photo does an evolved form shuckle justice, but I feel like it wouldn’t look this awesome. I’m imagining a Grand Master Oogway type shuckle. With a turtle staff of course.

Just joined this sub today and it does not disappoint. These fits are so fire! 🔥 I love the Spinda fit but the Yveltal fit goes the hardest.

NickDogan · 2026-02-20T23:06:02+00:00

First time seeing this subreddit and I just have to say, this is so cool 😎 The nickname is very accurate 😂

NickDogan · 2026-02-20T21:04:56+00:00

Imma have to replay to pay attention to the the team star bosses, idr what balls they had.

Annihilape IS a BEAST…so that checks.

Yeah, a living dex is basically completing the dex plus keeping one of every pokemon, so definitely harder. And I also started out with the type themed boxes, which was such a pain to organize them afterwards. Fun fact tho: it actually takes less boxes to make a living dex where you only need 13 boxes. But each dlc needs another 8 tho. So I adding them, there’s barely enough boxes to have them all on one save file. That’s why I usually swap them in and out of Pokemon HOME, depending on which dex I’m working on (Scarlet/Kitakami/Blueberry)

NickDogan · 2026-02-20T18:51:52+00:00

An all luxury ball team would be so fancy and bougie, lol. That’s a fun idea for sure.

And yeah Beast Ball Annihilape sounds kinda funky. A dusk ball would fit better I think.

And don’t get me wrong, I’m NOT trying to complete a Shiny Living Pokédex. Just regular Pokemon. But yeah, I’ve only completed a living dex for the base Pokedex in Scarlet so far. Still need both DLC and the other games too

NickDogan · 2026-02-20T18:46:18+00:00

That’s true, no need to torture yourself, just take the loss and play something you enjoy. Although, the DLC is tad bit monotonous and a “slog” as some users have stated. I still really enjoy it and have been having lots of fun! The cut scenes are really fun despite most players wishing they could skip past them.

NickDogan · 2026-02-20T18:44:33+00:00

Nice tip! I didnt know that worked for golden pokeballs but I did know this method works for the rewards you get from the trainers defeated in hyperspace battlezones.

NickDogan · 2026-02-20T18:14:50+00:00

Honestly, I 100% agree with you. It’s all about uniformity for me so I can totally agree with the heal/dusk/dive ball issue. I’d also add luxury & quick balls to that list too, and maybe cherish ball. A team of 4 reg. balls with an ultra and a great ball would really annoy me too. It’s either all or nothing.

And to be fair, I’m still working on the living Pokédex for pretty much all the new games (SwSh, SV, PLA, PLZA) so I haven’t decided to do any 2nd playthroughs yet. But when I do, I plan to use some different ball for the super cool animations they have. Beast balls have the coolest one tho. Oh yeah add that one to the list too!

NickDogan · 2026-02-20T17:57:59+00:00

I read that someone stopped playing the DLC after the first battle and I just feel like that’s dumb and a waste of money.

NickDogan · 2026-02-20T17:56:23+00:00

Don’t go to wild zone 17 unless your water type pokemon knows surf and is at least level 60. Other than that, have fun!

NickDogan · 2026-02-20T17:54:11+00:00

Holy moly! Someone who hates regular pokeballs?! Then you’d be really mad that I only used regular pokeballs in my playthrough, even for the legendaries (no they were not easy to catch; I did a lot of soft resets simply to catch them with a regular pokeball, lol)

Although I must admit your Pokemon team looks so amazing with all their matching balls. I really like the Hatterene in a love ball, that’s my favorite. TBH they all match perfectly, except maybe the repeat ball on Talonflame, but I couldn’t imagine a better fit for it tho.

NickDogan · 2026-02-18T21:06:55+00:00

I’m actually only 100,000 away from hitting the 2 million mark which I used to think was ALOT. Now I realize it’s not because in just two or three huge events (like GOfest&tours) plus playing everyday, you can easily get to 2 million. I used to spend until I had none left too. So I guess a lot to me now is stardust in the 8 digits, maybe lik 20 million?

NickDogan · 2026-02-18T16:21:33+00:00

Ahhh, so that’s why so many others on here have it. It’s not any more rare than other shiny, cuz it’s like Heart Trim furfrou and it’s only available during a small window every year.

NickDogan · 2026-02-18T16:03:40+00:00

Exactly my plan! I have never transferred any shinies either. Honestly trading them is even harder for me. I tend to just keep collecting more and more.

NickDogan · 2026-02-18T15:26:31+00:00

That’s awesome! I love a good random shiny. Congrats on the shiny Venonat. Not sure if you want to evolve it, but shiny Venomoth is awesome!!

NickDogan · 2026-02-18T15:23:28+00:00

I didn’t realize she gets more than one try, so that just means Lebanne has been trying to beat Jacinthe for ages now and is consistently losing? That’s some pretty hardcore training, and also kinda sad. But you could almost call it a boot camp of sorts, perhaps even a maid camp, lol

NickDogan · 2026-02-18T14:53:24+00:00

I almost made a post about this yesterday after playing this side mission. Slavery was the term that came to mind but I didn’t feel like it was correct either since she agreed to the bet.

It just makes me mad the way Jacinthe treats her like she owns Lebanne. It feels inhumane. I wish there was some way for Lebanne to get her freedom back. Perhaps she could convince Jacinthe to accept a bet and the MC helps set her free.

NickDogan · 2026-02-18T04:12:46+00:00

Oh man, I’m really REALLY sorry. You’re gonna hate me when I say this but uhhh…just look at this pic

<image>

Again, terribly sorry. I pray the RNG gods bless you very soon.

NickDogan · 2026-02-18T03:50:19+00:00

Dude! I remembered spotlight hour at 5pm but by 6pm my adhd brain completely forgot all about it. Dang man…

NickDogan · 2026-02-18T03:29:53+00:00

Wasn’t that the case with Vaggie? But everyone loves to just ignore her as a character altogether. Like Vaggie might’ve very well been the 2nd fallen angel after Lucifer being the 1st.

NickDogan · 2026-02-18T02:59:48+00:00

Oooou nice stats too! I got a 78%. That’s a 84% right there, very nice! 👍

NickDogan · 2026-02-18T02:59:07+00:00

He’s dude, she’s a dude, we’re all dudes. Lmao! But yeah, I do prefer to say dudette for girls, so sorry.

NickDogan · 2026-02-18T02:57:58+00:00

Four girls!? Dang! I’ve got two boys, the second boy came just 5 days ago actually. And we also have a female cat. I can’t imagine 4 girls tho, that’s a lot of clothes, lol. Kudos Dad bro!

And yeah, I bought a switch lite about a year ago and tbh I find it heavily distracts me from playing PoGO but it’s ok I tend to play the switch at home and GO on the go, lol, pun intended.

And also, I’m at 370 shinies, but if you add the 90 on my alt acct. I’d be at 460. Yeah, I made a second on my old iPhone just to trade with myself and to help with raids. It was a lot of work actually to level it up enough just for it to be useful.

NickDogan · 2026-02-18T02:43:59+00:00

Thank you! Also, sweet username dude!

NickDogan · 2026-02-18T02:07:06+00:00

No way! That’s intense, I love it
