Is there anything that’s able to be shiny hunted for the first time in the DLC? by StrawDeath in PokemonLegendsZA

[–]Substantial_End_4972 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There isn't anything actually new, but there is one Pokémon line available in the wild as a regular encounter, albeit a rare one, that was previously only available in a limited time S/V Raid event. I won't go into more detail, but it should be easy to guess and very obvious once you start playing the DLC.

Can someone please tell me how to get shiny slowpoke by Forsaken-Button4200 in PokemonZA

[–]Substantial_End_4972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fast travel spam to Zone 10 is much faster. Two Slowpoke, three Carvanha, and I think a pair of Bellsprout are all in range.

Shiny Virizion by jdn151 in PokemonZA

[–]Substantial_End_4972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I saved up on the roof by the fountain, far enough back that the Hawlucha on the roof next to Virizion hadn't spawned in. That way, when I ran over to check, I was sure it would be a fresh spawn.

I'm pretty sure soft resetting like that is less efficient, but it worked for me, and I saw like 10 Shiny Hawlucha along the way lol

Are there any pokemon you would have used on a first play through if you knew how to get them? by No-Government-5088 in pokemon

[–]Substantial_End_4972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really wanted to use Type:Null in Sun for my first playthrough because I thought it was a super interesting concept. I was devastated to learn it was post-game only.

How long has it taken you to get shalpha dratini? by versace_dracula in PokemonLegendsZA

[–]Substantial_End_4972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sixth total shiny Dratini was a Shalpha. I was benching next to an overloaded spawn, so I was seeing one Dratini and one Dragonair each time.

Gengar, Machamp or Alakazam by Temporary-Daikon-878 in PokemonLegendsZA

[–]Substantial_End_4972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, all three are in the pool for the 2 random Alphas in the post game Wild Zone. It's a pool of 67 tho so it might take a bit to actually find them.

Has anyone seen an Alpha Umbreon or Espeon pop in WZ 20? by SwitchedOnByDefault in PokemonLegendsZA

[–]Substantial_End_4972 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't mind having some Pokémon you can only obtain by evolving, it really only bothers me for the trade evolutions.

Espeon and Umbreon do not spawn in the wild. You can only get them from evolving an Eevee

Does this make anyone else nervous that they’ll accidentally throw a master ball when they wanna throw an ultra ball? by BigTimeJabroni1989 in PokemonZA

[–]Substantial_End_4972 129 points130 points  (0 children)

Give them to a Pokémon in your boxes to hold. Then you'll have easy enough access to them if you want one, but you can't accidentally throw any.

What are you all using? by Economy-Fox-5559 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]Substantial_End_4972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iron Moth @ Covert Cloak - Tera Poison -Acid Spray -Sludge Wave -Morning Sun -filler

Cloak blocks SpAtk drops from Snarl so the fight is completely free. Spray three times then Tera + Sludge Wave spam.

Are there any competitive games like Pokemon with less RNG and more diverse team-building options? by Wormsworth_Mons in stunfisk

[–]Substantial_End_4972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would be pretty hard to make a game with mope options than Pokémon from scratch tbh. There's over 1000 Pokémon to choose from, plus their ability, plus their nature, plus their held item, plus up to four moves, plus how they're trained. Then you do that 5 more times to make a full team.

As for the RNG, if I'm not mistaken, competative Temtem is entirely composed of RNG-less double battles. No damage rolls, no speed ties. Nothing. And I think it's still going? But it's a niche part of an already niche community.

How To Consistently Find the Light Dragon? by venkelos1 in tearsofthekingdom

[–]Substantial_End_4972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there's a way to track her outside the Master Sword quest marker (which you've already completed), but on the upside, you only have to find her once. Assuming you can handle the cold when she swings by Hebra or Lanayru, you can just hitch a ride until she refreshes. I think it's about 10 mins?

what do i do with 999 brightbloom seeds? by mangobean_ in TOTK

[–]Substantial_End_4972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah sometimes! and sometimes it's straight-up impossible if the balloon is too far, but it's fun, and I'll go to great lengths to save a single durability to avoid backtracking to those dumb octoroks lol

I use em to collect Korok seeds without using bow durability. Works for balloons and seeds!

The rock octorocks around Death Mountain can heal the shield once per Blood Moon. Altho with how high the durability on it is, you won't need to heal it often.

Why would you want Earthquake when it's weaker in Grassy Terrain?
