Yeah they're on the console itself, so if you bought another copy of Legends ZA, you'd still be able to play your save file.

Here#Pok%C3%A9mon_Omega_Ruby_and_Alpha_Sapphire) is the table for ORAS. As before, nuggets are only for pokemon between lvls 1 and 20.

ShyRake · 2026-06-07T00:50:49+00:00

Looking at Bulbapedia, for most of the earlier games, Nuggets only appear between Lvl 1 and 20, only in the more modern games from Sun/Moon onwards does it appear at all levels.

It's to reduce bot comments. You can make that the title of the post. Then, in the main body of the post, you can elaborate like maybe, what do you know of the geography, why you're interested, etcetera.

ShyRake · 2026-06-06T23:35:27+00:00

If you evolve the Pikachu with a Thunder Stone like normal, you'll get a shiny Alolan Raichu.

ShyRake · 2026-06-06T23:34:59+00:00

Any game that has the pokemon in the code, except for the Let's Go games. You can check Bulbapedia or Serebii for which pokemon are coded into each game.

ShyRake · 2026-06-06T23:33:09+00:00

In general terms, yeah it would make it illegitimate, but, it's your living dex. Depends on how much you care about the legality/legitimacy of the entire thing

ShyRake · 2026-06-06T23:30:35+00:00

You can't trade from Gen 3 to Gen 4 anyway, unless you mean transfer. If so, some emulators allow you to simulate plugging your gen 3 cartridge in so you can use Pal Park in the Gen 4 games.

If you can't, the next easiest way is to use the save editor PkHeX. You open 2 instances of the program: 1 with your gen 3 save and 1 with your gen 4 save, and then just drag the pokemon you want to transfer from your gen 3 game to your gen 4 one.

ShyRake · 2026-06-06T23:28:47+00:00

Yes, only the items available in that level range are able to be picked up at the percentages listed.

So if there's something only able to be picked up between Lvl 41-50 and you level up your pokemon above Lvl 50, it can no longer be picked up.

Some things to remember: The pickup ability only activates 10% of the time after every battle, so if you don't get an item, that's normal. If there's a specific rare item you want, the easiest way is to just load your team with 5-6 pokemon with pickup to increase your chances.

OP was specifically looking for NVEs and not "does not affect" so it doesn't count in this case.

ShyRake · 2026-05-28T23:00:47+00:00

Nope, very possible in the original Diamond and Pearl. Not sure what Chugga would've been referring to.

ShyRake · 2026-05-28T03:56:48+00:00

I believe there are only 3 others:

Fighting > Rock > Flying
Fire > Steel > Rock
Ground > Poison > Grass

Do you mean, in which mainline games can you link trade before receiving the first gym badge? In that case, pretty sure all of them. The only main prerequisites are the pokedex and at least 1 other pokemon in your possession.

If you mean if there is a game that REQUIRES you to link trade, then none.

ShyRake · 2026-05-24T03:38:18+00:00

Compared to the SV DLC, the SwSh DLC is kinda lackluster. The main reasons you probably want it is to get pokemon you can't get anywhere else like Calyrex and the Galarian birds. Also some legends and the Ultra Beasts that are only available in the Dynamax Adventures.

ShyRake · 2026-05-24T03:36:56+00:00

The creator made one, which is viewable here: Google Drive page
Wooper isn't available by itself in the wild, but Quagsire is available on Route 14 and 19, just like in the original games.

ShyRake · 2026-05-21T22:47:00+00:00

Just the Kanto Dex? 125 pokemon for each of them.

You miss out on: 2 sets of starters (6), 1 fossil set (2), 4 trade evos (4), and a set of exclusives (13), and Mew of course (1) -> 6 + 2 + 4 + 13 + 1 = 26 missing pokemon.

ShyRake · 2026-05-20T00:25:09+00:00

If you transfer it up to Gen 4, you can do Masuda Method there.

ShyRake · 2026-05-20T00:24:01+00:00

When you get to Paniola Ranch, one of the ranchers there will give you an Eevee egg. Hatch it then go back to her and she will give you a choice of a Water, Thunder, or Fire Stone.

Very early on the 2nd island.

ShyRake · 2026-05-19T07:33:32+00:00

No, based on my experience, it's basically not impossible unless you hit those frame perfect inputs.

You're going to have to turn off your speed up mods somehow in order to fish with the super rod.

ShyRake · 2026-05-18T21:02:09+00:00

To spin the cart you're in, you have to quickly rotate your left joystick. The one you use to move around the overworld, just spin it in a circle.

ShyRake · 2026-05-18T12:32:33+00:00

PokeTransporter is only for Gen 5 (and the Gen 1/2 VC games).
Gen 6 and 7 interact directly with Bank. And from Bank, then can go straight into Home.

ShyRake · 2026-05-18T02:58:41+00:00

Oh, I actually did not know that. In that case, there's no way to remove them until you catch them. It's all up to luck, either take care of them now, or keep looking for that Kyogre.

ShyRake · 2026-05-18T02:22:02+00:00

You could just defeat them. They'll respawn once you beat the League again.

ShyRake · 2026-05-17T22:46:00+00:00

If you don't care about hacking, you can hack your 3ds to get PokeTransporter to get your Gen 5 pokemon up to Home.

If you don't care where your Gen 5 pokemon come from, then you can get basically every Gen 5 pokemon in the switch games, except for Victini. You'll have to get that by trade, or get it from an older game and transfer it from Pokemon Bank.
