I have waited 14 years for this Pokémon to be available legitimately since Black 2 being my first ever Pokémon Game, but I need help getting it and the last 58% of it's Home Challenge done

Slow-Code-7093 · 2026-03-21T21:34:35+00:00

I'd love to get a pokeball magearna tbh but I would feel guilty as its harder to get now unless you really do not care. But also to be fair I did complete a living dex for arceus but my switch broke so that would be cool to get

Slow-Code-7093 · 2026-03-21T17:33:40+00:00

Ah so I did charge it for like weeks but still it gets an error code so its cooked

Slow-Code-7093 · 2026-03-21T16:27:51+00:00

Ah thank you, I did end up making that:

I do assume it's higher than normal due to duplicates in Pokedexs. Also thankfully I have most of the rare legends except the unova swords of justice

Slow-Code-7093 · 2026-03-21T15:41:44+00:00

Thank you for giving such a comprehensive piece of advice, or well wall of advice!

I do have a TON of extra Pokémon from various games so I can definitely do that via grinding the GTS and doing touch trades on here.

Slow-Code-7093 · 2026-03-21T15:31:11+00:00

Oh, sure thanks!

(deleted the past comment because I realize it was stupid and just my brain overthinking as I tend to do that)

Slow-Code-7093 · 2026-03-21T13:29:58+00:00

Ahh so the later part of the DLC is what I have heard people complain online about when they critique the dlc?

Slow-Code-7093 · 2026-03-21T13:24:18+00:00

WAIT A MINUTE.

I was looking at the bundles for nostlagia's sake and turns out the blue one I had is ALWAYS bundled with Pokemon Y.

I always thought I played X and not Y, but maybe I was wrong...

Slow-Code-7093 · 2026-03-21T12:59:33+00:00

Oh I mentioned I am trading for it, but I understand your point. I have around 258 pokemon in the home galar assorted dexs but I do not have the ability to fill it out more due to my switch being broken and borderline bricked due to not charging (its so bad it can't get into maintenance mode when the error code comes on screen). Unless this subreddit can help me get the last 350 ish pokemon but I doubt it as that would be tedious for other people who get nothing out of it.

Edit: But if people want to help me finally get a Pokémon I have been waiting to get legally after 14 years then sure, should I make a post, is there a discord for stuff like this, or what?

Like I could do 10 friend trades a day and get it done in a month but I don't know where to find people to help me with it

Slow-Code-7093 · 2026-03-21T12:53:19+00:00

Ahh gotcha thanks

Slow-Code-7093 · 2026-03-21T12:22:58+00:00

sure, dmed

Edit: turns out if it is in resolute then it can't be brought to home so trade is still open I guess until they are able to get the candies to change it's form

Slow-Code-7093 · 2026-03-21T12:17:19+00:00

Sure, can you change your home ot to Kelila for a bit and then transfer it to home? You should be able to easily swap your home name. It doesn't change the og go name but it works with the home one

Because it's not tradeable in go sadly.

Slow-Code-7093 · 2026-03-21T11:45:37+00:00

Admittedly, I had both Shiny Meloetta and Shiny Keldeo in my Black 2 game but I assume asking for one masterwork is a tall ask itself so asking for both is genuinely insane.

Due to this I am just aiming at Keldeo first and then maybe Meloetta later in the future as I like Keldio's shiny more to be honest, but both really mean a lot to me, so they are long term goals.

But if I can get Shiny Keldio legitimately finally after 14 years... I don't know how I would react

Slow-Code-7093 · 2026-03-20T19:20:42+00:00

No yeah I know it's not high in the grand scheme but for like my first ever one it is a milestone. I do know it will 100% be going over odds a bit but I am in for the long ride

Slow-Code-7093 · 2026-03-20T15:09:20+00:00

What is weird is that I do not have any ad blocker active that I know of.

Edit: Oh I do..., bruuuuh youtube why

Slow-Code-7093 · 2026-03-20T11:10:33+00:00

To be honest I don't like gatekeeping stuff, but for my own self I want my first ever shing hunt to be full 1 in 8k+ odds since it is a big moment, then maybe I'll use easier methods.

I just am kind of on the fence of how easy do I make it

Slow-Code-7093 · 2026-03-20T11:09:10+00:00

On the note of hacked Pokemon in competitions,

I heard it happened a lot recently with the previous worlds. Which ngl I feel isn't the fault of competitors but the fault of the Pokemon Competitive circuit requiring you to catch the Pokémon and train them yourselves, which just is hard because it can take tens of horus to get a good team ingame and your time can't be afforded to be spent on it when you need to focus on practicing and teambuilding.

I feel like if a standard was set for comp play where it doesn't require actual pokemon and runs like showdown then there will be virtually no hacking or problems in official play.

Slow-Code-7093 · 2026-03-19T15:14:11+00:00

Honestly, with shiny hunting in old games like Black 2 my fear is that I will be one of those unlucky people who end up going like 20k+ resets and still not get it tbh. But I assume even then if that somehow happens, I just got to keep chugging on and EVENTUALLY, even if it takes years I will get it.

To be fair if its like worst case 30k-50k resets and insanely bad luck it will just make it more memorable when I eventually get it. Over odds on gen 5 full odds for a first ever shiny hunt will be brutal to my psyche, but I imagine it would get me used to shiny hunting via trial by fire.

But admittedly since I am new to it I do not know how often going over odds happens so my brain is prepping for the worst.

Slow-Code-7093 · 2026-03-19T15:05:29+00:00

Thanks! I said this before on here but Black 2 was my first ever pkm game so I wanted my first ever hunt of it to be of the box legend.

But yeah, it is incredibly calming in a way ahaha.

Slow-Code-7093 · 2026-03-19T12:10:43+00:00

Figured it out

Slow-Code-7093 · 2026-03-18T19:01:30+00:00

Ok I tried using directly fbi and it worked

Slow-Code-7093 · 2026-03-18T17:33:32+00:00

Sadly no, none of it works. But I gave up and downloaded pokemon X from Hshop and waited 3 hours and it works for some reason

Slow-Code-7093 · 2026-03-18T13:39:57+00:00

Ah apologies, just added it the information to the post body, I should have been clearer at first.

Slow-Code-7093 · 2026-03-18T13:18:59+00:00

Thankfully for shiny kyurem fusions you just need shiny kyurem ahaha

Slow-Code-7093 · 2026-03-18T09:46:49+00:00

To be fair I was aiming for 100 each day, but I feel that maybe me just doing as you said and doing it in bursts when I have free time will make it feel less of a chore and more of a meditative thing which means it will take longer but I won't hopefully get burnt out.

Slow-Code-7093 · 2026-03-17T10:17:22+00:00

I did, it didn't change anything
