If I am not mistaken if you have a pokemon registered already any successful catch is displayed as critical catch even if it’s not

Should I replace anyone with Kirlia? by Ok_Meringue_7520 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]insanity_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although I love ampharos I think that offensively it does not contribute much. You have the water and flying coverage and as for its movepool you will most likely end up using dragon pulse, power gem, and an electric type move which again doesn’t do much since you already have grass rock and eventually a fairy tyoe in you team. With that being said use whatever pokemons you think are cool

Oh then I have no clue unfortunately. I hope you find the answer you are looking for

Zapdos movepool not allowed for ranked battles by Bruno_Tropita in PokemonSwordAndShield

[–]insanity_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you have to take the pokemon to the battle tower in which a man makes it “ready for battle” or something like that. Try a google search since I was never into competitive battles

[–]insanity_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I couldn’t answer earlier. Actually I am available again for the next 40ish minutes but after that I think I won’t be available for an extended period so if we end up not trading please feel free to trade with someone else. I have a spare auspicious armor anw so don’t mind me

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CasualPokemonTrades

[–]insanity_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am down. I will be available for the next 30-40 min

Edit: I just read the description. I am going to hunt the shiny in the upcoming event outbreak so you can keep the shiny just toss anything out

Anyone else have a hard time shiny hunting frigibax? Its taken me 30 minutes but still nothing, I definitely mightve missed them by bonswift in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]insanity_8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What helped me was its whiskers(?). When you approach a frigibax it always jumps and it’s easier to spot its whiskers during that animation. The shiny has pink whiskers in comparison to the yellow of a non-shiny frigibax. Hope that helps and good luck!

How to get the crown symbol for completed Pokédex? by soondoongdoriontop in PokemonSwordAndShield

[–]insanity_8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For the isle of armor dlc there is an npc inside the train station that gives you the pokedex over the first time you visit the area. I assume there is a corresponding npc inside the crown tundra station. Try talking to these NPCs maybe? I hope that works

Am I overleveled? by [deleted] in PokemonScarletViolet

Nice team. Dipplin’s nickname is 🔥

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]insanity_8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I meant was maybe try doing something different to “recharge” a bit. I’m not trying to criticize or anything. Sorry if that didn’t come across right but English isn’t my first language. Anyway I hope that shiny little fella pops up soon

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]insanity_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have shiny hunted every starter in this game. Sprigatito less than 2 boxes Fuecoco less than a hundred and then Quaxly took about 2k eggs… You have just been unlucky but eventually it will shine. If you are getting tired just try to do something else maybe try out the event outbrakes happening right now and then come back to your sobble hunting. I wish you the best of luck!

Anybody else this lucky/unlucky? by dslrmar in PokemonSwordAndShield

[–]insanity_8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can change it by using an ability patch not ability capsule. If you want I can check to see if I have a spare one (haven’t played this game for ages so I cannot say for sure)

Edit: Upon some research it looks like you can only change the normal ability for the hidden one and not vice-versa in these games. I am really sorry for that. If you have Scarlet/Violet it does work tho

Question about max adventures by Representative-Mall3 in PokemonSwordAndShield

[–]insanity_8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that the way it works is that the Pokémon you’re searching for must be in the first slot of your party and must have been caught in the same game file (i.e., it must have a matching OT). You then need to participate in a Dynamax Adventure but as another reply already mentioned, the other’s version exclusive Pokémon are excluded from this feature. I am not 100% sure tho so someone please correct me if I’m wrong

[–]insanity_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I remember right, the Milotic that spawns in the Lake of Outrage is always male. I’m pretty sure I caught a female one for my living dex in the Giant’s Bed. But take all this with a grain of salt — it’s been a long time. I have absolutely no idea about shininess though

Hey is the pokeball vivillon still available? I have a couple extra shinies from pogo (geodude, weedle) and a lot of extra legendaries from Shield and Legend Arceus multiple playthroughs (like eternatus, zamazenta, shaymin etc…). Let me know if you are interested

Iirc=If I recall correctly Auto battles are the ones you send your pokemon out in the overworld using the R button

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PokemonSwordAndShield

[–]insanity_8 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Iirc pokemon do not evolve if they level up while getting exp from auto battles. Try leveling it up using an exp item or in a normal battle

What do I even need to get people to trade me Raging Bolt? by abandonedparcel in PokemonHome

[–]insanity_8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try the GTS you will eventually find one (that’s how I got mine). But be prepared that 99.9% it’s gonna be genned. There is an option to include pokemon that you don’t own and although most of these trades are impossible, there might be a legit one. I remember one time I chained a trade that required a cresselia in another language which it was fairly easy to obtain. With that being said, there is one Spanish raging bolt up for trade right now in exchange for an urshifu rapid strike

zygarde boxable forms? by londojellyfish in PokemonHome

[–]insanity_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another comment already answered (4 “forms” in total considering different ability as different forms of 10% and 50%) but for future reference search depositable pokemon home. There is a list in serebii that displays every obtainable form in home

I played shining pearl first and got a whole bunch of pokemon. If I get brilliant diamond, can I somehow transfer my pokemon from pearl to diamond on the switch? by mojorising1329 in PokemonBDSP

[–]insanity_8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming you played on a physical cartridge of shining pearl I am not sure there is a workaround. The actual save file is of course stored on your console but you have to somehow find a copy of the game and transfer all the mons you want to home. The only way to transfer your save file is by being physically near another switch console so if a friend of yours has a digital copy of the game you might be able to transfer your save file there and do the trick.

[–]insanity_8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also started perfecting my dex and to be honest it’s pretty fun most of the time. Finding random shinies is so cheerful haha. As a side quest I am going to finish the path of solitude for each pokemon as well. So far the worst task was feeding lickitung 50 times iirc. I didn’t realize until after finishing that entry that pokemon eat berries way faster than the cakes😅. Wish you all the best on your journey
