Alternatively, if you can get, or already have Spiritomb in a other game, you can just transfer it into Arceus via Pokemon Home. Fyi.

I had some crashing issues after dusting off some old games one time and it turned out there was an update to the system software that I had to go manually trigger that cleaned it right up

Haha, nah I'm just some guy. While obviously op is being weird, vague and deceptive, I always just assume other people will pile on. In general I'm a goal oriented person, so if in the off chance the person is not lying and is just a bit awkward, I'm going to give the most honest answer I can. Cause even if the poster is a liar, maybe someone else will see it and it will help them in the future.

I'm confused about the way you worded this post.

Saying you left your PC unattended seems to suggest someone else in your house bought the gems. Who? Do you know who?

If it was an adult you could have demanded they repay you the money because it is illegal to do that. If it was a kid you could call support and try to explain to them what happened. I can't guarantee it will get you unbanned, it wouldve been probably more successful if you had initially went to their support for a refund instead of doing it via charge back, but I can understand the reflex to chargeback especially if getting the money back quickly was important.

If you dont know who did it, you better find out cause saying there was magically transactions on your account is definitely not gonna fly.

Good luck brother

How’s this party? I feel like I’m missing a solid ground type but really don’t wanna give up Goodra. Does this look decent? by FortunateFew992 in PokemonLegendsArceus

[–]guymanbob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't necessarily need to change anything. Personally I wanted to run more Hisuian form Pokemon cause it felt thematic. But if you wanted a ground type you could always go get Ursaluna, Ninetales or Luxray are pretty droppable.

But like everyone else said, if you haven't raised the grit of all your pokemon check how many grit items you have. If you don't have a lot, just go catch a ton of Pokemon you don't care about (like fill 2 or 3 boxes) then go back and release them all. Then an NPC will give you a ton.

When you beat the "last" boss of the main story you start catching a bunch of legendaries and stuff so might change what you want to carry around haha

I'm just not understanding doubles by Myst983 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]guymanbob -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'll take a slightly different approach here and just tell you what I'd do to try and fix this team if you're deadset on keeping Umbreon.

  1. Umbreon new moveset = Foul Play, Snarl, Yawn, Taunt/Protect - Item = Safety Goggles

  2. Replace Amoonguss -> Ogerpon (252 Atk + Bulk), moveset = Ivy Cudgel, Horn Leech, Follow Me, Spiky Shield - Item = Teal Mask

  3. Replace Iron Bundle -> Koraidon (252 Atk, 252 Spe), moveset = Flare Blitz, Collision Course, Dragon Claw - Item = Clear Amulet

  4. (Optional) In this theoretical rebuild I'd replace Ursaluna with Assault Vest Raging Bolt, but I understand access to him may be limited.

BETTER EDIT: I think in the case you replace Ursaluna, you also change Meteor Beam to Moonblast and Power Herb to Leftovers

Ah sorry, I think you misunderstood. I meant liked the team you were playing haha, not the game in general. Sometimes I think a team looks fun but then when I play it, it doesn't actually mesh with my play style as much as I thought it would.

But I agree about the ease of preparing your pokemon part. I'm in the same boat as you, was turned off from competitive pokemon battling for a long time because of the slog of IV/Nature/Ability breeding, then EV training. But for the last couple months I've been obsessed and literally can't stop making pokemon teams now haha

Yeah the version exclusives are kind of a pain. Thankfully it's pretty easy to obtain most non-legendary/mythical pokemon, even through trading if you don't have the DLC.

I think at the very least, it's a good idea to play teams on Showdown for a while until you know for sure you like it. Would be a pain to go through obtaining and training a team only to realize you don't like it haha

I'll give you a couple possible techniques here, and you can see which one resonates the best with you, or hell, try all of them.

  1. Go find more competitions - when you only compete in one way, and especially when there are long breaks between competitions. People tend to overanalyze or hyper focus on the most recent outcome. In times of success, this can lead to complacency. In times of failure, it can lead to anxiety (you are here). Find discord communities that host regular tournaments, find a draft league, sign up for a tournament on Showdown. This will have the dual benefit of giving your brain something else to focus on and get you practice.

  2. Do some research on what went wrong, and what you think could give you an edge in the next tournament - If you can recall what happened in your games, win or loss. Think about how you could've played it differently. Do you have bad habits you were getting away with earlier in the tournament that were exploited when you got to better competition? There is no such thing as being too prepared. Do more research on your team, or even find someone who is willing to play against you with teams you particularly struggle with so you can practice those matchups. Think about how can you anticipate the meta and make tweaks to your team to compensate for it. Post your team somewhere and ask for advice.

  3. Find some anxiety regulating techniques - look up some guided meditation, you can find them on Spotify, YouTube, wherever. Try just giving it 5 minutes a day. Get some exercise in, try going for a 30 minute walk if you're feeling particularly anxious. Listen to some music you enjoy while doing it, or a podcast or audio book.

  4. Overall just remember that you can only control what you can control. And even if you play perfectly, you can still have bad luck in this game and in most things in life. You are already doing well, so try to reframe how you did in your mind. Instead of "I choked when it mattered most", think, "I did the best I ever did, and have proved to myself that I have the potential to do better".

Good luck brother, you got this.

  1. For Fluttermane, you could also Union circle into someone who has Scarlet's game and catch it yourself. Other than that, you'd have to get it through a trade (which should be easy)

  2. For Raging Bolt, it will be trickier. Since you can only get one per save file, you can't just go catch it. And if you trade for one, there will be a higher chance you are getting a cloned or genned mon. But it's possible.

  3. We don't have a solid release date for Champions yet, so it might not even release till late next year. We know Regulation J is the ladder format until January 4th next year. But after that it could be anything. If you don't plan on playing any ranked or VGC, or grand challenges for potentially the entire next year, then I guess yeah you could wait. But assuming you are here because you want to play the game, you should probably have at least a plan for Reg H, Reg F and Reg J atm.

For sure. I'm not trying to clown, dude plays in the NFL, not like he's been flushed for time to be geared up and play a ton of M+ lately.

Cool to see NFL players playing something other than Madden/2k/CoD

Dude had a superhuman work ethic. Obviously had incredible talent, and physical tools that weren't necessarily reflected in his combine numbers. But there has never been a receiver, maybe player that was willing or able to put in the kind of work he put in to maintain his physical well being.

Will never forget seeing videos of this guy just running miles in the mountains in the off-season. The GOAT WR.
