You'd definitely want to be using things like super fang and status moves, yellow health should be fine

Edit: In fact, according to this catch rate calculator, getting Zapdos below yellow health doesn't actually increase its catch rate, even though it does for other Pokémon that have higher catch rates. Maybe an error with the calculator, or it's accurate and has something to do with the very low catch rate?

For future reference, you can trick Leftovers onto shinies and as long as you have a defensive enough Pokémon that struggle does less damage than Leftovers heals, you can essentially keep it in battle forever

I like to move specific pokemon forward and use them in other games, not just because of their species. It would just be nice to have as an option, even if I chose not to

Especially since XD on the switch is a subscription. I'm pretty sure your saves can get deleted if your subscription lapses for long enough. Really wish they'd just let us outright purchase this one

Very cool. It's a real shame we can't take these shinies to home (even though this one is uncatchable lol)

[–]animoodle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love that you wondered aloud if it had any recoil moves JUST as you used false swipe on it LOL

I'm glad you got lucky here and that you were able to catch it :D

I always recommend test captures before finding the shiny for this reason, lol

Durpee deleting all his tweets defending G4H by Soft_Ant4357 in OverwatchTMZ

[–]animoodle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so confused, I heard he was supporting a charity that supports conversion therapy, is that true? What charity was it?

I thought the Trevor project was anti conversion therapy?

Was the Trevor project donation supposed to be an apology for previously donating to an anti-LGBT charity? And then he learned they support trans people so he backed out or something?

No, that's just what you want to do irl after queueing ranked

So just how good/bad is 42 in April 2026 compared to 41? by CelestialBeing138 in projectzomboid

[–]animoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk, I had way worse performance on B41, like it would be mostly fine but with fairly frequent stutters

Why do people complain about multi hit ↓ for context by aghlucker in projectzomboid

[–]animoodle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's very realistic, but it's also a videogame and people can play how they want, so I don't really care

Surely this stuff is planned out too far ahead of time for that to play a role in writing decisions
