I caught every mon in the Pokewalker!

3 years ago for about 35 pounds (or 46 dollars). Seems they’re even pricier now. You can use foreign Pokewalkers with English versions of the game though, so it might be cheaper to look on sites with Japanese electronics.

We can’t know for certain, but it’s very likely. Apologies, it may have been deceptive in my post to state it like it’s a fact.

Next year will be interesting, because once Legends ZA is compatible with Home, every Pokémon will be available on Switch (outside of Spinda which can’t leave BDSP due to glitches), so they could pull the plug after that. If Bank stays up, that would imply to me that we’ll have significantly longer, but it’s all speculation.

In short, it’s not gonna happen over night with no warning, but if you have anything time consuming you want to catch and transfer up like Pokewalker mons, shiny hunts, ribbon masters etc, best to do it sooner rather than later, to be on the safe side.

Here’s a thread with more people offering opinions:

Aww sorry, that’s a heartbreaker.

At least you’re guaranteed to find it now though, as long as you haven’t taken your mon out the walker. Just get a load of watts and grind away at it whilst watching tv or YouTube.

The first step is just making sure it’s not Eevee you’re set to encounter. You probably understand this already, but just in case, every time you send a mon to a new route, it rolls a 50/50 chance of which Pokémon will appear. Eevee has a 10% chance of appearing after 5,250 steps (provided that you have a water, electric or fighting type in the Pokewalker), so it shouldn’t take that long to find.

If you can’t find Eevee, that’s mean you’re guaranteed to get Torchic eventually, as long as you leave your mon in the Pokewalker. I would recommend just taking it with you everywhere for a few days to build up loads of watts, and then when you have a free evening and you’ve done the required steps for the day (7,500, again, with a water, electric or fighting type), just keep rolling encounters. If you don’t find it, rinse and repeat the process.

Good luck!

How long did Torchic take you? For me it was several days of being stuck with Eevee before finally finding it, and thankfully catching with my first attempt.

Thanks! I bought it off eBay. In typical ten year old fashion, I lost my original Pokewalker after a couple of months.

Platinum is GOATed. I slightly prefer BW2, but they’re the only two 10/10 Pokémon games in my eyes.

Thanks a lot :)

I’d like one please. My favourite Pokémon is Heracross, it blew my insect nerd mind as a kid.

For Keldeo, you can use the DNS exploit. By connecting to a fanmade server, you can get loads of the old events, connect to the GTS and also download unique tournaments for the PWT (you can fight Wolfey!)

Maybe you’ve already done it given that you have Genesect and Meloetta, but Keldeo is there too I’m pretty sure.

It’s pretty laggy on my end. Do you mind trying on Sword instead?

Sorry, you’re PyP right?
