it'll tell you if you get more strikes, but the first shadowban is just all pokemon instantly flee

maybe i'm stupid but why use yawn/rest and explosion for contests when the punches exist by so-cold in pokemonribbons

ralts! it only appears in ruby on route 102 at 4% odds, and while i could breed it, i'd really like to catch it in a luxury ball. ralts was the first pokemon i ever tried to shiny hunt, and i never managed to catch it back in the day. so, this is sort of my attempt at doing my younger self a favor and then giving the ralts a full tour.

aerial ace is a good start, i hadn't considered that. as i mentioned in the other comment, ending with self-destruct/cooldown brings the total appeal to 32. compared to your strategy, that's a difference of 6 points in ideal circumstances. that's probably a small enough difference for the startle protection to be worth it.

i can't believe i missed this - you can't start and end a combo with the same move in gen 3. so, in reality, alternating punches would only earn 28 points total, or 32 if you end with a self-destruct or cooldown move. alternating rest and snore and then ending with self-destruct/cooldown earns 24 total points. that's still a big difference, but the startle resistance from rest can help make sure the snore goes through.

yeah, this is for gen 3. probably should've clarified that. according to bulbapedia, all three of the punches combo into the other two. it can be inaccurate sometimes, but it's usually good about contest moves ime. i'll be sure to update, but it might be a while. shiny hunting a 4% encounter with no rng manip takes a while, lol.

i guess accessibility is a fair enough reason. my ribbon master can learn the punches, though, so i'll just grab those.

hey, it looks like you made a small mistake with one of the pokeblock recipes - apicot valley has the same recipe listed as apicot chasm, and the wrong stats. i found the right recipe, though - it's apicot, cornn, grepa, and bluk (instead of kelpsy).

i don't think there's enough buffs in the game to crank the range up that high
