First time playing BDSP as a previous Pearl player. Always a piplup main, but trying out some different supporters in this run :)

Any advice would be great! :)

Hi, I'm looking to buy this game as an avid shiny hunter and want to get all the exclusives within this game and while I know the Arceus event isnt time based I don't know if Darkrai and shaymin worked the same, or if I can no longer encounter them because they were from an event. Any help would be appreciated

I'm about to start my hunt for shiny Kyogre. This is the first time I'm ever resetting to get a shiny legendary and I'm wondering about counting. The thing is it looks like all methods of counting are some computer program. I only have my phone and tablet. Using my phone to count sounds like it'd really slow the process down. Holding my switch in one hand, having to hit a counter on my phone each time sounds tedious and would add even more time so I don't think I'll count.

How many out there don't bother to counter resets?

Ashamed of how much thought I put.

I'm currently building my dream team! My currently taken spots!

Shiny Staraptor: Talon

Gliscor

Aggron

Shiny Luxray

Lucario

Tysplosion [forgive me if I misspelled that.]

The only 2 pokemon I will not change on this team are my Luxray and my Staraptor. Because they are my babies.

I need to decide who will be a viable water type to use and who will need to be swapped out... I was looking at Mudkip (I will train it up.) I was going to use piplup but Aggron is just too good of a tank to let go of except for when he gets hit by SP. attacks then it hurts... I love my Gliscor but it feels like he gets demolished by water / ice types or I'm just not using him properly. I'd love to hear advice and thoughts for my options.

Was resetting trying to use a quick ball and got this on 3rd try, I used master ball in the end but wanted to save it for roaming legendaries, hopefully I can quick ball then!

First playthrough of Shining Pearl, I played original Pearl as a kid and this time I tried to use mostly Pokemon I haven't used before (except Torterra and Palkia).

I'm probably a little weak to ice and flying, but I think it's pretty solid?

So I don't have either Let's Go game, so I can't get the gift Mew, but I can get the gift Jirachi. Can I use Jirachi to beat the game with minimal effort like I would with Mew? I want to get through the game as fast as possible so I can catch all the legends so I can get the shiny Manaphy from home.

Thats a tough bug . What in Arceus's name does it come from 😜

Rage quit due to Cynthia back in October and bought SV played through that and finally picked this up again and beat it a couple nights ago

G'day guys, I'm planning to take on the Battle Tower for the first time in BDSP, but I'm having trouble building a solid team. I’ve got a Bold shiny Spiritomb that I’d really like to use. Any suggestions for other Pokémon that would work well alongside it? Thanks!

I’m on the first 3 minutes in papa jefé’s tutorial for a shiny starter. I line the box up with munchlax’s eye and it just randomly freezes requiring me to restart it. Quite a few times it managed to get by without issues only to crash when it reached 64 intervals. I would love to see the rest of the 33 minutes of this tutorial. Maybe I’m just doing something wrong or maybe my computer sucks although it’s not that old. I need some help.

I’ve been looking for a thunderstone in the Grand Underground for days, with no luck. I’m playing BD so I know there’s a higher percentage to find one, no such luck.

Is there anything else I can do besides wait for Sunyshore?

I got to Jubilife city and used home to complete the regional dex but even after talking with the professor it won't unlock the National dex

I bought Brilliant Diamond yesterday so I could unlock Darkrai in my Legends Arceus, and now I'm going to play it so I can finish the League, win some ribbons and all the yadda yadda. Tell me how well this team will fare against the Elite Four.

Infernape:
- Flare Blitz
- Mach Punch
- Shadow Claw
- Slack Off

Staraptor:
- Brave Bird
- Roost
- Steel Wing
- Whirlwind

Gyarados:
- Waterfall
- Thrash
- Ice Fang/Crunch
- Dragon Dance

Raichu:
- Thunderbolt
- Thunder Wave
- Iron Tail
- Quick Attack

Roserade:
- Petal Dance
- Toxic
- Dazzling Gleam
- Venoshock

Bastiodon:
- Metal Burst
- Iron Defense
- Torment
- Stealth Rock

Well, I've been trying to catch Pokémon from the Honey Tree for about two days. Initially, I changed the time on the Switch, and then I saw that this blocked the game's events for 24 hours. then I changed the time to the original, waited 24 hours, put honey on the trees again and waited another 6 hours to see if any Pokémon appeared. none have appeared so far. how long does this penalty actually last? i wanted to complete the Pokedex asap

I want the shiny manaphy from Pokemon home what’s the best way to do the dex really quickly is it better to do the elite four first then hunt after I’ve beat the game or re set and start fresh

Do y'all care about natures or abilities when doing a playthrough
