Where are your favorite place(s) to get STDs?

Can't be the only one who thought this

I thought to get the shiny charm you had to complete every last dex data entry of every pokemon. Turns out you just need to complete 10 research levels of each pokemon to get the charm. Just got the charm because I finished almost every other pokemons dex data and when I got the only pokemon I didn't even get 10 research levels for, azelf, to 10 levels. Prof laventon told me I completed the dex

Is there really only 242 pokemon is legends arceus?

I haven’t really played a lot of the game but when I have i just feel like there’s way more of a selection of that and when I googled it that’s what it said so i’m confused.

Two outbreaks, 1. Shiny rotom 2nd. Alpha oshawott (not shiny) which one should I go for?

I should go for the shiny right? Am I more likely to find another shiny rotom or another alpha oshawott mmo?

How do you hunt a shiny location alpha?

I currently want a shiny of that alpha heracross in the field lands more than anything. From what I've seen, it seems people run to the alpha, and then if it's not shiny they go back and forth from the village and just keep checking? Sounds simple enough, but I don't want to miss any steps so I don't waste time. (This image is not mine it's off google)

I feel like I am severely over odds shiny hunting, what am i doing wrong?

So I am doing a shiny goomi hunt at an outbreak. The average I've been seeing is 12-13 goomi per outbreak and I have soft reset this outbreak 25+ times (I've kinda lost track). That's over 300 Pokemon. I know the base odds without the shiny charm are 1/4000 but I know outbreaks are supposed to have higher shiny odds and I've been going for 3 days with no luck. Any advice? I have no clue what I'm doing wrong

Pokédex glitch

I’m trying to complete my Pokédex but it says I’m missing mantyke even though I’ve caught quite a few. I’ve spoken to professor Laventon. I have even tried transferring one in from another game. Is there any way to fix this issue? Would restarting the game from the beginning help?

What’s the best shiny hunting method in PLA currently?

Hi! I have tried researching this question on YouTube and google, but most of the guides are from when the game came out. What is the BEST current method for shiny hunting?

Anybody else give their Pokemon a break from their pokeballs to have outside time/sleep? 😅

Volo giving me trouble on my second playthrough

So far my strategy has been getting through 3 of his pokemon with my tanky, play-rough arcanine, and then using crobat to hypnotize giratina, but he always finds a way to KO my pokemon before I want him too. Even calm mind basculegion isn't working. How do I make this battle easier for myself?

I don't know how to do a shiny only challenge

Like I don't when to start trying to find them. Like after I get break outs or before I get deer to ride or before the first rival fight

Can Lapras be traded / transfered into this game?

I don't own the game, but I'm curious about it.

I can't find any info online, just that Lapras is unobtainable via catching in-game.

Lucky Cherubi Outbreak

Forgot that I had this picture. Found it while I was deleting stuff.

Honestly it's funny how my luck with Cherubi outbreaks is amazing but I cannot say the same thing about Eevee outbreaks.

Crazy luck

What are the odds of this? All caught in one massive mass outbreak. The clefairy was a random encounter during the outbreak too.

Unwinding in the Forest

After a long day of hunting for an Alpha Haunter, they decided to relax and take in the morning breeze in the forest - three of them fell into a deep slumber, whilst the other three submitted to rumination.

A magnificent scene - no wild Pokémon even dared to disrupt the peace.
