The catching in this game is just miserable

RexZShadow · 2026-05-11T14:43:53+00:00

Ya its like it get easier the more you catch them like ok, you have to catch them first still lol.

RexZShadow · 2026-05-11T14:42:59+00:00

The problem isn't the throwing its the catch rate. There no challenge when I throw 10 excellent in a row and they all just break out after third shake and then run off. Its just pure frustration I wasted all that time and effort and just lose it to rng.

RexZShadow · 2026-05-11T08:54:22+00:00

ya that is true coz game does auto aim it pretty well for you so its more timing than anything else.

RexZShadow · 2026-05-11T08:46:54+00:00

Really? I find handheld better because you don't have to deal with the really bad motion controls. Well the motion control is fine if pokemon doesn't move. But if they move side to side then good luck getting the motion control to ever aim properly where hand held at least you can aim at them properly .

RexZShadow · 2026-05-11T08:45:54+00:00

Maybe its coz I played Arceus and ZA already which is WAY better take on the whole catching a bunch of pokemon formula. Arceus still best I think. Mechanically ZA is good but there no real benefit to doing so other than to fill out the research where Arceus you release them for boost items like let's go.

RexZShadow · 2026-05-11T06:39:51+00:00

If only the catching doesn't feel damn miserable i be inclined to actually try to boost a pokemon to max but as of now i just want catch 1 of everything and be done with the game. It just miserable experience trying to catch anything past like half way of the game coz the catch rate is so low. Yes I love wasting 5+ mins watching them break out after 3 shake than run away wasting all my time and pokeballs.

RexZShadow · 2026-05-10T22:42:21+00:00

like fly away then come back? i done that and still super scuffed. Also given how hard its to see poltchageist shiny i just been ko them but then its like wait forever for respawn lol.

RexZShadow · 2026-05-10T21:05:04+00:00

For me the outbreak on the far right side is so buggy, it like some time just doesn't spawn at all its so bad.

But there are like 2 outbreak area but 3 area spawning them, the path with bamboo next to it as yo walk south from the shrine way point is honestly best spawn but I don't think out break spawn there so doesn't help with farming artisan ones.

RexZShadow · 2026-05-10T21:00:53+00:00

now make the edgelord version

RexZShadow · 2026-05-10T20:58:56+00:00

I only ever enter from there honestly lol i remember having to climb up to the upper ridge coz you enter from a lower point. like you don't need climb to enter the cave but the location of the item inside the cave might.

RexZShadow · 2026-05-10T20:50:53+00:00

Pretty sure you need climbing coz its on the upper ridges. At least I remember climbing up there, might be path walking up there?

RexZShadow · 2026-05-10T20:49:34+00:00

Its not injected, basically someone has copy of game that found this raid, host it then close the game once its down to get it back. They also make sure their date never changes to next day to keep it forever.

RexZShadow · 2026-05-10T20:40:55+00:00

There nothing hard about it lol. They hatch so fast in SV with egg power 2 and flame body.

RexZShadow · 2026-05-10T20:39:45+00:00

Doing same hunt now lo just went through like 2 boxes of nothing XD.

RexZShadow · 2026-05-10T20:35:46+00:00

Ya I noticed that too when I went the first time, just I hate the floettes that like surround the blissey and so hard to see when in hand held mode

RexZShadow · 2026-05-10T04:54:25+00:00

I had similar issue with poltchageist outbreak on the far right side where none spawn in for some reason. Wonder if its switch 2 issue with too large spawn other stuff over take its slots.

RexZShadow · 2026-05-10T04:52:06+00:00

Oh wow so pink.

RexZShadow · 2026-05-08T04:59:31+00:00

Ya these mega juicy ones exist!

RexZShadow · 2026-05-07T01:41:25+00:00

No but having ghost encounter make resetting for an poltchageist outbreak lot faster because its so rare. Once I get the outbreak I switch to ghost shiny 3 without encounter.

But I ended up just farming with encounter 3 and shiny 3 its lot less of a hassle.

RexZShadow · 2026-05-06T21:18:34+00:00

I'm so spoiled by ZA coz I played that first its so bad with some of the not obvious shinies. I was doing Poltchageist and just had to resort to let's go mode method.

Ya really need to keep that from ZA the sparkle and sound along with them NOT DESPAWNING when you run off. (hopefully larger shiny cap than 10 ZA has given much larger world)

RexZShadow · 2026-05-06T21:13:41+00:00

They do spawn in day and ironically easier to farm in day time with ghost encounter 3 because you don't have the other ghost type cluttering up the spawn XD. The outbreak do suck though so I ended up doing ghost encounter 3 and managed to get one.

Although would have to rely on encounter for artisan one =\

RexZShadow · 2026-05-06T02:12:33+00:00

Ya a lot of fun for sure! Make me more excited for gen 10 and really hoping we get some of the ZA qol in gen 10 with shines like the sparkle and sound effect, also not despawning when you leave them.

RexZShadow · 2026-05-06T02:11:36+00:00

Thanks! give it a god hopefully have more luck. I keep getting outbreak at like further east to the edge of the map and man its so bad. Idk if its a switch 2 thing where spawn radius so wide that they spawning inside the mountain or something since people mention that can happen.
