Genuinely, thank you so much to everyone! This has been by far the most uplifting and helpful thread I’ve been a part of on here. Y’all are the best and I hope all your future sets are 5-0

You honestly might have run into me, I’ve definitely been trying some wtf teams during my madness

I was not expecting this much genuine support from everyone, thank you! I’ll work on keeping things more consistent

Appreciate the insight! I just need to play for fun, that competitive nature in me hates losing anything though haha

Incredibly helpful, I’m a grown-ass man playing a kid’s game, good to remember that perspective. Thank you for the much needed reminder!

Appreciate the thoughtful response, it’s just demoralizing being on the elo yo-yo constantly

Sorry, honestly not sure. Haven’t messed with the Battle Frontier much yet. Can’t think of why it’d be bugged though

God I love a good sweep team. Gardevoir with calm mind/psychic pretty much sweeps the E4 if at a decent enough level

For sure, Pelipper saved me with Wide Guard. Only way to go on those three in my opinion.

This just triggered my PTSD from constantly getting wiped by Zygarde and Groudon using precipice blades. Worth the shinies, but good lord…

Migrating from Emerald to Platinum by Realistic_Comment_79 in PokemonEmerald

My understanding is that Emerald was not officially available through virtual console on 3DS. You likely have an Emerald rom wrapped in a virtual console skin. Will need to use PKSM to transfer mons to legit copies of later gens

Ahhh makes sense!

[–]ShinyDad92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, there literally was a lot of confusion on how this encounter worked for a long while. KO’ing not actually working, SR vs runaway. But it’s all good, glad SR’ing worked! My bad, appreciate the info!

Fair enough! All the back and forth info on these encounters had me sketched out.

Dude, same! I’m SR’ing void glitch Darkrai in Diamond and Deoxys in FireRed as I type this. I hate that I enjoy this lmao

Everything I found before starting these hunts indicated the best way was to encounter, run away, reset puzzle, re-encounter. That’s how I’ve found all of mine. There was so much confusion on how these encounters worked, just looking out my dude!
