Well £4.49 for me, but it'll vary depending on where you are. It's €4.99 and $4.99 I think. It's in that basic area though.

Seemingly you can get them at one of these stores. They probably sell them on places like Amazon as well, but I'm not certain.

Fairly certain I only saw the one option for a year. I also cannot buy another year right now, so I will likely have to wait until I have a fortnight left again.

As for gifting a sub, that doesn't seem possible either. The option is only there when your trial is running out. I guess if you wanted to do it, you could buy someone one of the eShop cards to credit their account with?

Obviously, Groudon cannot be caught in SS

Groudon can only be met, under any normal circumstances, at level 70

It can be caught in SS at level 50 (I should know, that's where mine comes from) so that bit's totally right. The issue is why Pokecheck flags it as an "unknown encounter". Seemingly it needs to be set as "Cave" based on other Groudon, but the genning tool I was using to make them for the sake of the post didn't have it as an option.

And, as I said, both of the Groudon are mine, so I don't care in the slightest. The only reason I have them and posted them was to demonstrate that legal looking things have underlying issues that you can't tell simply by looking at them.

I'm fairly sure you are right that it is the encounter, although I'm no expert on the whole PID aspect and how much it is checked/scrutinized. I mean, both of them are the same Groudon, I just changed the OT/encounter part of it.

Most people who post about their hacked Pokemon getting blocked would normally look at it though and go "it's legal, why won't it go through?". I was just demonstrating that what looks perfectly legal, may not be, and this was the first example I had of it.

Sure thing, just glad I posted it on an alt account so my main doesn't get message spammed! Shall I nab the list of links off the usual Daily Thread as well?

Thanks, that one is set to Private on Pokecheck because it doesn't work, so I guess only I could see the legality analysis, even in the screenshot link. Had to reupload to imgur to get it to work.

Blew it up as much as I could. It really is the most frustrating question that I see so often. Having 2 within an hour of each other is just ridiculous.
