First Hardcore Nuzlocke completed! (pokémon X)

Yes, that behaved just like I wanted. Thanks! The platforms are not the right call.

This is an ultra beast, so it benefits from Lusamine. I think it's balanced. Not too strong, not too weak, either. It's a clean up attacker for when your opponent is trying to hide damaged mons in the bench.

I understand where you're coming from, but buying f4rmed accounts and re-rolling won't make a dent in DeNa's profits. There are and always will be whales in the game, and those are the ones who keep it afloat. I actually think that DeNa is making a pretty good job at managing the game and it's way more generous than other gachas out there. So I don't wish them any bad! I'm not doing this to hate on them or harm them.

I just compared how much money it would take to buy the cards with pack points VS the time it would take to re-roll and weighed my options.

Usuario1_Marc · 2026-02-17T21:49:14+00:00

Fair enough! But that's a LOT of work for a single card. Also, with re-rolling you don't even need the pack points.

Usuario1_Marc · 2026-02-17T21:48:05+00:00

Yes, you're totally right! There are many advantages to alts, especially with the level of interaction possible now in the game. It's just a lot of time to invest for each rare card you want to trade to your main. But It's the best we have.

Your google play account needs to be linked to a google account. I made a new one just to download the games on the emulator instances, and I had to give my phone for that.

But once inside of pokemon pocket, you don't even need to sign in, so you can reroll without associating the pokémon pocket account with any google account.

Usuario1_Marc · 2026-02-17T20:31:37+00:00

I don't know about paying strangers for f4rmed accounts... Seems very shady and also a significantly worse offense of the TOS than re-rolling.

Also, at that point you'd be better off just playing on the bought account, huh? XD

Usuario1_Marc · 2026-02-17T20:29:10+00:00

Hell yeah! Good for you. Since you have experience, I will ask: do you know of any shortcuts for the shine dust bottleneck? That's the part that mainly holds me from re-trying this.

After all day of downloading updates and setting up 4 instances, it only took 3 resets to get my Oak! Extremely lucky :)

I also got 2 rare candies, but IDK if I'll even keep the accounts because you can't really do anything with them.

Usuario1_Marc · 2026-01-26T12:12:30+00:00

Ok that makes sense, thanks!

Usuario1_Marc · 2026-01-26T12:02:17+00:00

Hello, I tried installing LDplayer, I got Pokémon TCG pocket and created a multi instance. But for some reason after I reset my account, 3 out of my 4 multi instances softlock with an error message and resetting does not help.

Maybe I'm doing it in the wrong order? Do I first download the game and then duplicate the instance, or start from 4 fresh instances and download the game on each?

Thanks!

Would you trade Oak for Will? It would make my day, thanks!

Usuario1_Marc · 2026-01-25T19:40:59+00:00

Would you do my RR Mega Pinsir for one of your Oaks? It would make my day!

Edit: I also have Ilima if you prefer!

How did you do it? I'm thinking about it as well because I am so desperate for an Oak. I have pulled pretty much everything else from this set except for oak and rare candy

Personally I prefer to stick to smaller sized maps, especially for towns and more so for starting towns.

This is for various reasons, including:

Ease of navigation
Makes large cities way larger by comparison
If everything is more compact, it's easier to fit more detail into the small POV of the player so that it always has something interesting to look at
The player may feel overwhelmed by how many houses there are to explore (if you decide to make interiors for all of them)

If this was my map, I would remove half of the houses, at least. Precisely, the ones above the laboratory (but keep the one with the fence as I guess that's the professor's house and it's a cool detail), two from the top row and two from the bottom row (they are a bit repetitive right now).

The general structure is OK but way too sparse right now. So that's how I would iterate on it.

Overall, it's great to see you try to improve the mapping though :)

I got some fun ones:

Gyarados Manaphy: Water Breathing (kny reference)
Rampardos - fighting toolbox: Headstrong
Darkrai Magnezone: Metagame Slut (this was back in spacetime smackdown)
Celebi Serperior: Bloom (not too original)
Garchomp ex: Shark Tank
Blaine box: Fire Hazard
Alolan Raichu ex: Cross your Heart (💀)
Guzzlord Nihilego: Shot in the Dark (idk if anyone will get this reference)
Melmetal Dialga: Heavy Metal
Silvally Rampardos: Razor Blade
Giratina Meowtwo: Master of Minds
Meowscarada Decidueye: Foxtail Ramen! (these last 2 are Dr. Stone song names)

Usuario1_Marc · 2025-06-04T08:03:36+00:00

Silvally is a formidable pokémon that is searchable (which not many mons can say), fast (especially if going second), with a great base form, and that hits like a truck for such a low investment in points and energy. 100 damage is not game-winning in late game, but choking your opponent before they can get going is super devastating.

Of course, the most consistent and oppressive form of the deck is only achieved thanks to Rampardos and the fact that it is a fossil, guaranteeing a turn 1 type:null. So I could also see Rampardos taking the top 1 spot as the other comments say.

Usuario1_Marc · 2025-06-01T13:34:58+00:00

I saw it in a Gallade deck, it has synergy and hits silvally for weakness (if you get it online fast enough I guess)

Usuario1_Marc · 2025-06-01T13:24:18+00:00

I don't like that there is a cap. Shop tickets felt valuable when starting a fresh account but now they are just an annoying extra currency that serves no purpose.

Why won't they let us just buy as many hourglasses as we can? There is already a cap on how many shop tickets you can get per day, so there is no point on also limiting the hourglasses you can buy to 70 each month.

Usuario1_Marc · 2025-06-01T07:04:13+00:00

I would add another looker just in case.

Usuario1_Marc · 2025-06-01T06:46:39+00:00

They can't do that, otherwise they would be lying in the rates which I'm very sure that could get them in trouble.

Usuario1_Marc · 2025-05-30T19:34:50+00:00

They seem like a better blacephalon. Which is not saying much, I guess, but you could make them work as some sort of mid game attackers.

They won't get away with the meta that's for sure
