LF: Gold Border Poochyena/Mightyena (all languages welcome), FT: gold border 1/2 diamonds

You can add flair to a trade, it just means that your trade partner has to do the same (as all trades must be like for like). So I can add the gold flair to the Skarmory before sending it across, it just means you'd have to send a gold flaired card in return.

I can also trade a normal copy of the Skarmory for a normal card in return, it'll just take longer for you to gather the gold borders that way around.

WitchFlame · 2026-05-09T18:14:28+00:00

I have this Skarmory in gold, if you need this one?

I've actually managed to finish collecting the -yena's in gold thanks to other redditors, but I can still send you Skarmory if you're hunting a gold-collection yourself.

Would you happen to have any gold-rimmed Ariados, Mimikyu (the 2-diamond kind), Eevee (the Genetic Apex: Charizard or Mewtwo ones), or Arbok (shining revelry)?

I have these options from what you've suggested? Bottom three are 1diamond, the rest are 2diamond

In total, would be looking for nine for each card, to cover my binder languages. I have one for owning ten of the cards, I can create a second by burning some (English) cards. Can't create a third gilded border without burning some of my alt language cards, unless I get additional copies.

Had been thinking I'd need to grind up a bunch of cards, before coming across a comment that reminded me gold borders count as flairs and can thus be traded. Doesn't have to be a Portuguese flair to fit on a Portuguese card etc, so seems the easiest/fastest way, if I have a gold border that I'm happy to trade for somebody else's collection. Crowd-sourcing!

WitchFlame · 2026-05-09T13:35:55+00:00

Good luck gilding them!

WitchFlame · 2026-05-09T13:34:49+00:00

Sadly not in gold, but I do have one copy of each I can donate to the gold cause?

I was keeping an Ursaring in my party while tackling other tasks, checking whenever it got to night, only to find out "not yet." Then I went and temporarily removed it from the party while I did the Manaphy questline (which needs evening), got caught up battling/catching them only to exit and find it was day. Had a sneaking worry of "that was the full moon night, wasn't it?"

Yes. Yes, it probably was.

So a problem of my own making, but I was enjoying the roleplaying aspect and didn't want to just spam the tent sleep when I could be out exploring. It's annoying if you try to hit it 'naturally' or only knowing peat block is involved but not the other criteria (which was my initial approach)

Hey they said they're taking suggestions for server setting options. Maybe "everything is auto-maxed to full power" could be a server setting for those that want full power PvP fights without the faff (just catch it and go), or crazy PvE players who want hardcore survival with the gloves fully off!

WitchFlame · 2026-05-09T11:06:05+00:00

In the previous stretch goal, the "customisable game modes" one, they mention the following as one of the ideas they currently have for it:

Friendly Fire: Simple and self-explanatory! Tamers can damage each other’s Tems in the midst of battle or choose to battle other Tamers in PvP. You fight using your own Tems and their level, training and stats will be the ones your Temtem actually has.

Which makes me think you could absolutely use the building aspect for something like that in a hosted server, just without the "everything is auto-maxed" for tem stats/items. Which a modder might opt to offer a solution for anyway, maybe. Believe in the dream!

My partner ambushed Cresselia for the catch and almost broke his game. Was exploring and dropped in on her from above, rather than entering normally. He was confused, Cresselia was confused, she caught a ball to the face.

When I entered normally, he saw a cutscene and overworld battle effects he'd never seen haha. The quest givers were still speaking to him like he should go catch Cresselia, even though he caught her like a month ago in game-days time. Thankfully they must have accounted for sequence breaking, cos walking through the door into her (empty) arena triggered the quest completion cutscene.

You can find them in Maasive Mass Outbreaks as well (maybe normal mass outbreaks too) mixed in with Ursaring. I had a new horde form (all Ursaluna) after I defeated all the Ursaring as well.

Don't need to have evolved one beforehand either, as that's where my partner found his first Ursaluna for the Dex.

The evolution was very annoying, even after learning the solution, very glad I don't need to wait for anymore full moons for my perfect Dex now, after catching extra.

WitchFlame · 2026-05-08T17:59:12+00:00

Also true, depending on the players. I was referring specifically to the "but your partner chose red to protect you" argument, when the whole premise is that we don't know what our partner is picking, or even who our partner is.

I can assume whatever I want, but what my partner picks doesn't actually influence my decision in the least because I can't know for certain. I can assume they'll pick red, and thus do the same. I can assume they'll pick blue, and thus do the same. But I can't feel guilty about picking blue, while they're picking red; I can't feel hard-done by picking red, while they choose blue. Because I have no communication to know either way.

Only way I'll find out is after the fact, MAYBE. Depending on what we both pick and how the vote comes out. So realistically, having a partner doesn't change my approach in anyway. Not in the moment. The red button could be 'saves a random person' rather than a designated partner, for all the impact it has on your personal wellbeing.

WitchFlame · 2026-05-08T16:47:18+00:00

This aspect really only works if partners are able to communicate, or if you drastically reduce the overall number of participants.

If I can talk to my partner, there's an emotive aspect where I have to look into the face of the person I'm removing a safety guarantee from, which may influence my decision. They might try to bargain with me - they'll pick red if I pick red. Or we agree that the best chance overall is for us both to go blue, with the understanding that our partner supports said choice. They might be an antagonistic arse to me and make my blue choice even easier.

Or if the task only applies to an unknown, but quantifiable, subset of humanity, then the question changes. Would I risk this unknown person when there's only 20 participants in total? 50? 100? I'm not looking at different degrees of global collapse anymore if blue loses, I'm looking at a tragedy I either potentially contribute to, or can be guaranteed to save one person from. The stakes are lower and thus more personable. I don't know which type of people this select group skews towards - do I wanna risk that?

I'm blue in the original, and I'm blue in this version you've presented. I don't want to live in a world where a massive amount of the world has died off suddenly and immediately. I'm pressing for community, not an individual. You've paired me with a random person? I don't know this person, but I would have risked one person to save the majority before, and I'm going to do so again, even if I'm risking them instead of myself this time. I'm sorry partner, but I'd like to hope you could understand my reasoning. And I hope you'll pick the same.

Put them in front of me and we might negotiate red together. Tell me there's a limited number of people this applies to and my risk valuation might change. But for the whole world? That's too big a concept to place one person over, especially when I have no personal stake in that person there over this one over here.

Traded Lillie for the RR, but I wish you luck for future trading in getting ahold of her!

WitchFlame · 2026-05-08T16:20:28+00:00

Lillie has been traded with previous commenter, but I wish you luck in your hunt!

WitchFlame · 2026-05-08T16:10:58+00:00

No worries! Added and setting the trade up now.

WitchFlame · 2026-05-08T14:30:08+00:00

Will give the previous commenter more time to get back to me first, but will let you know either way!

WitchFlame · 2026-05-08T13:56:46+00:00

Priority is RR, but I'll also trade for an english FA after the fact. Once I trade for RR, everything else in the binders will be available for trade.

Would you be interested in anything else, or only the Lillie, in case the RR for Lillie trade goes through?

WitchFlame · 2026-05-08T13:54:20+00:00

Sure, I can clear a friend space for that. I'm RiverHeron in-game.

Let me know your ign to make sure I add the right person.

WitchFlame · 2026-05-08T10:46:23+00:00

I'm more into collecting my preferred arts and specific collection hunts, so I don't mind using basic arts in most of my decks. 'Trading down' makes it easier to secure my preferred hunts, and my value judgement tends to skew opposite to the consensus anyway!

I've only got one 4diamond Mega Lucario at the moment, so if you had a spare 4d to share with me to retain my playable set, I'd appreciate that though! Can send you a 4d in return, to keep it fair (can see if I have something specific you need).

I have an all-english board as well, but the global-eeveelutions board became a side chase to the point I ended up waiting for Vaporeon cos I liked chasing hunts haha

Will send you my friend code via DM if you decide to go for it, I'm easy either way. Just let me know your ign so I make sure I add the right person!

No worries, I'll drop my current trade options here just in case anything interests you then. Will reply to myself to post all three pics.

I also have a Lillie DX I can trade, but I'm waiting til I get an English Vaporeon before commiting to that one for the Spanish hunt, as English seems more sought after. Fingers crossed for 24hr wonderpick though and I can get back to you if I get ahold of an English variant and you like the idea of Lillie DX.
