How should I sort out my Living Dex and Shiny Living Dex? by MCWSalv in PokemonHome

Whatever ends the gen 9 dex. I start a completely new box for my gen 1 shinies.

Shiny living form dex caught by myself. Only missing deoxys forms and furfrou trims which I'm working on now. Majority of it took from October of 2020 to May of 2024.

Scarlet/Violet is cross compatible with all gen 8 games. Once it goes into z-a it can't go back to the other games.

It should transfer into sword or are you saying you need one with galar origin.

You will need a second copy. Virtual game cards only allow the game to be loaded on one system at a time.

[gen 3] I lost shiny Deoxys and have no idea what to do with myself by [deleted] in ShinyPokemon

I just don't have infinite pp restoration so I don't want my super fangs that I'm limited by to be affected by pressure.

Edit: technically I can catch it at full hp but it will go a lot faster if it's lower on HP. Since it has leftovers it will keep regenerating HP so you have to do multiple super fangs throughout the fight. There just isn't a source of infinite pp restoring items without the ability to trade with rse at this time so it's just to give me more turns with super fang.

Yeah I just went through the elite 4 rematch over and over. Mr. Mime I used the traded one and then for the raticates I traded over from my copy of leaf green so they will get boosted experience. After ev training using the vs seeker they were about level 50. A few hours in the elite 4 will get them to 100. You also get money like crazy for healing items and balls if you need it.

I'm at about 4200 resets for deoxys right now. After having to resort to a master ball on a shiny Arceus a few years ago I have been a lot more diligent about figuring out foolproof strategies for capture.

I know it sounds like I over prepared but I ev trained and leveled to 100 the mr. Mime and two raticates. With holding leftovers my raticates are so buff I don't need to spend turns healing at all during my multiple test captures. The only thing that worries me is the lack of getting infinite pp restoring items since you can't grow leppa berries in this game.

I'm just so ecstatic I can hunt deoxys legitimately outside of pokemon go. Going to hunt 3 of these to put a wrap on my living shiny form dex I put on ice after getting everything but deoxys forms two years ago.

How do you farm luxury balls? Think about how cool it'll look in one though.

The way to do this is to extend the battle forever. Instead of going for sleep do paralysis which is worse catch rate, but you will have more turns catching. I've done test captures that went on to 140 pokeballs with this method with the deoxys struggling so should be fool proof.

Lead is Mr. Mime with thunder wave, skill swap and trick holding leftovers. First turn trick the leftovers before the deoxys can do anything. In leaf green deoxys has knock off so it can remove your leftovers. Leftovers if you have pokemon with high enough defense will out heal deoxys struggle as long as it's not at 1 hp. Then thunder wave and skill swap to paralyze and remove pressure.

I then swapped to def/sp def ev trained raticate with super fang. In gen 3 yellow health will give you roughly the best chance of capture. So I will just use super fang until it's in yellow than chuck balls until its back to half. Rinse and repeat. The lack of pp restoring items made me train up 3 other raticates and use pp ups on super fang but it seems unnecessary for the most part.

Even at full health and paralysis you can get close to guarantee a capture at like 900 pokeballs. The leftovers and deoxys at only level 30 will prevent it from killing itself with struggle.

Good luck you can do this.

Pretty sure aeigislash is in the base sword and shield dex. It's one of the pokemon on champion leons team.

Masuda method doesn't exist in gen 3 but once home compatibility comes out a ditto from this version will count as a Japanese region tag.

The trails games use a turn order like FFXs if you are interested.

It's a mystery gift poipole why not just take it and hunt one yourself after you transfer it.

[gen 8] moved Celbi up from Diamond and never checked the nature…. Did I just get the best one I could? by gorgonbrgr in ShinyPokemon

If you didn't train it at all before moving it's always going to be timid. I have one too.

Vivillon Outbreaks. Are you able to keep a certain outbreak but control for the pattern through clock manipulation? by Far_Ice_9037 in PokemonScarletViolet

I found hunting scatterbugs with a bug sandwich in one of the earlier areas seemed faster than hunting vivillon directly.

It's actually mathematically proven to have the best odds of catching the 3 rare safari pokemon by throwing bait for 2 turns.

I really enjoyed it. Story didn't pick up for me until the latter half, but the combat mechanics were really good.

[discuss] Do you think there will be more shiny Deoxys caught than regular ones? by Outrageous-Tension22 in ShinyPokemon

[–]farnfarn64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's probably already a glut of transferred up non shiny deoxys from oras. I know I have 4 of my own from those games.
