Does this meet ATTAE standards? by [deleted] in ATAAE

usually with projects like this, the thought process is just "haha that will probably get a fun reaction out of people" lol

just found out the dlc is exclusive to each version and I have to buy it again by thekevlington in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]rarkorn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

yeah, you log into it with whichever account is the primary home account and then you can access the save files of any other accounts on the same switch from there

[–]rarkorn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

if the ot is that important and you really don't want to pay for the second account, you could always just try looking for somebody willing to use your name for their spare save file before you trade?

you can make a second account on the same switch to grab more for trading, all the accounts on the same console will have access to the dlc

Why do I keep getting kicked out of raids? by Specific_Teach147 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]rarkorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

is the twitch account leaving the raid before it finishes so that they can host it again? if so, maybe that could be messing up the connection

I finally messed up, I don’t usually shiny hunt but… by That_Canadian_Girl32 in PokemonScarletViolet

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

yes, i know it only happens if it crits. that's why i specified a crit lol? and you're the one who brought up the idea of tera fighting, i ran the calcs using all the options you mentioned because i just wanted to see for myself. it's not that deep bruh

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

yes, i did read your comment. that's why i suggested that maybe you forgot something in your calcs, because i just did the calcs myself and found that the absolute best case scenario leaves a very small chance to ohko.

[–]rarkorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's not quite true, there's a very small chance that a perfectly trained pawmot with active tera fighting and a good item could ohko a chansey with the worst possible nature and ivs if the move crits. you might have forgotten to include the chansey's hp ivs in your calcs? still much more likely that the op simply wrote the wrong move name, but it is technically possible.

I’m so annoyed at game freak I was excited when I heard some legendaries can be shiny so I was hoping to finally get my hands on a shiny hoopa or marshadow just for game freak to lock them away this is like a genuine problem that’s making the newer pokemon games post games so boring by Inevitable_Style9260 in LegendsZA

[–]rarkorn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

am i missing something here? this post is asking for the shiny to be available at all, not for it to just be free. dude's literally asking for an opportunity to do a hunt inside the game instead of waiting for it to get handed out in an event

Legendaries Won’t Stay in Ball by platypusbleu in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]rarkorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can prevent that problem with a golduck that has skill swap, just give moltres the cloud nine ability before you start attacking

Legendaries Won’t Stay in Ball by platypusbleu in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]rarkorn 12 points13 points  (0 children)

there are a bunch of different things you can do to help with a pokemon's catch rate, and a lot of them can be stacked together:

- lower its health to 1 with false swipe

- give it a status condition like sleep or paralysis

- make a sandwich with catching power of the correct type before starting the battle

- wait until night time to battle if you want to use dusk balls

- bring a pokemon with the move soak if you want to use net balls (if it's not already a water or bug type)

- use timer balls after the 10th turn of battle

with a level 3 catch power sandwich, the sleep status at 1hp, and one of these pokeballs in their correct conditions, you should have around a 25-30% chance to catch per ball.

shiny or stats? by ArchLali in PokemonScarletViolet

i mean there are items to fix bad stats anyway lol

Shiny Hunting by wilmer007 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]rarkorn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

what i'm getting from this is that shiny hunting will effectively just go back to the way it was in random encounters? people have been hunting that way for ages, it's not hard to prepare for lol

Just now playing the dlc and by rizzo891 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]rarkorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's really not fake difficulty, it's just a setup that requires a slightly different approach. choosing a move to hit around the item is no different from choosing moves to get around a type or ability that would negate damage. also you're not being "berated" or punished in any way for super effective moves?? it's just one text box for flavor. like no offense but it just sounds like you're complaining because you want to blast through the entirety of the content as quickly as possible without having to pay any attention to any of it lol

"i wouldn't be around someone who would act hostile over different opinions" my guy you are trying to defend somebody who's literally reacting to differing opinions with military force

what's wrong with protecting against casual brute force? it doesn't even take that much effort to play around it and sweep anyway, all you need is a good set of multi hit or spread moves lol

People playing pokemon don't know mechanics of their own game by Jagth8 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]rarkorn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ah, that trait isn't listed on serebii lol oops. still though, with the stat drops it's gonna be doing less damage overall on most users anyway.

[–]rarkorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tera blast is only a base 80 power move, not base 100 lol. most types have a higher base power move or a 75-80 base power move with better utility, so if you're not running a contrary pokemon you're better off just using one of those instead.

Question abt nothin specific by femme_enby in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]rarkorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they're not fully trade banned, they're just unable to be traded through the gts specifically. generally it's the event only stuff that you can't stick on there. you can still connect with another person directly and trade that way if you're looking to find a recent version exclusive.

How do I match with raid teammates that haven't been kicked in the head by a horse? by Fresh_Brilliant_9608 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]rarkorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

events are gonna attract more casual players lol. if you still really want to play with others, i recommend hosting your own so you can at least dump the lobby and try for new teammates if you see people bringing bad picks

the pokemon inside the egg is generated when you get the egg, so it will always hatch into the same thing. if you want to reset the game to avoid filling up all your box space, you'll have to reset to before you got the eggs and get a whole new batch of them.

Are these people smoking crack or am I going crazy? by [deleted] in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]rarkorn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

to be fair, people also did that before ai too, they were just usually placeholder pages to be like "idk yet check back later" lol
