Im really new to SWSH DLCs but I started doing dynamax battles & Caught this Barraskewda with this amazing IVs. First Time in more than 25 years playing Pokémon that I caught something with those IVs.Actually the Battle was tough , used shields every turn; had to do It 3 times and recurr to lvl100 competitive mon for assurance (did It with NPCs).
What are the odds for this? And Is there a way to assure 5 IVs on a dynamax raid?
Can you soft reset after throwing the wishing Star or does It have to be before ? Is every pit lair locked to One specific Pokémon?
I'm trying to get the shiny charm all I need is drampa spritzee eiscue corsala throh that should be it if I could get those it would be great plz help
I wish I could say that was a misclick, but no. I forgot that Fidhious Rend wasn't a percentage attack 🫠
It’s my last hunt before I can finally lay this game to rest. Please and thank you!
Been trying to play this game for a while
Spinning seashells with Lotad dancing on ground and haunted Halloween pumpkaboo hehe
I'm in shield and have already huntenld lunala and would really appreciate if anyone could give me a code to join in a solgaleo raid
If you do, an invite would be very much appreciated.
I’m almost certain I got it from a solrock that blew up in my face, but I’m so happy! I’m gonna go spread it to all my shinies LMAO
Is there ppl playing online battling in sword & shield?
I recently got a switch and started playing sword and was wondering if there are any active mystery gift codes. I saw some online but they do not work.
Cracked and bought the dlc again that urshufu is too good too pass up
I want to do dynamax adventures with some friends to shiny hunt Nihilego, but I want to do it on a new save of the game.
If I progress enough to get to Dynamax Adventures in the Crown Tundra and do an adventure with someone that has a Nihilego path, will I be able to save that path if I don’t keep Nihilego at the end?
Thank you for reading
EDIT: Naganadel isn’t available, so Nihilego it is!
Hi there, is anyone available to help me evolve two feebas. I can offer some shiny pancham or wooper in return for your help.
I've been a Pokemon player since April, I'm really hooked (I was never interested before and now I'm advancing very fast). I should say that four Pokemon I brought from Arceus (Luxray, Sylveon, Jolteon and Umbreon) They were level 25-30 and have now become stronger. My other two Pokémon are a Cinderace and a Cooperajah that I caught in the Wild Area on the way to Artejo City in its second evolution.
I've defeated the first four Gym Leaders, and I'm going for the fifth. So far I haven't had any problems with my team, they handle attacks well and know how to act. Although Cuf still gets knocked down sometimes, he's still a bit of a challenge.sometimes, but it is a matter of time before it becomes stronger.
What do you recommend for them? I'll read you!
This are the dens I need, if anybody have them I would appreciate it alot
I’m starting a new play through on pokemon shield without the DLC I thought it’d be fun if someone picked my team for me, leave your suggestions
I play every main installment of Pokémon, and have over 1000 hours on ScarVi. But shortly after SwSh released, I had some mental health issues and abruptly stopped playing it entirely, barely reaching postgame. Literally have not bothered picking it up aside from one day w a bud where I convinced myself I’d play the DLC and purchased it on a whim, spoiler- I still let it collect dust afterwards.
So here I am, wanting to restart my file completely so I can, hopefully, have a much more positive experience w the content. I have a lot of gripes w this game but ultimately feel like I didn’t give it a proper chance!
I’d like to think I have a decent grasp on Pokémon in general, but I lack any particular “Galar nuance” 🫡 what tips should I keep in mind to make the most of my playthrough? I’m wanting to fill my dex as best as possible since I’m currently aiming for a Living Home dex (nothing fancy, just a standard collection). Im also not concerned w creating any BR Pokémon in this Gen since it’s a lot easier to just transfer to Paldea and shove em full of vitamins and candies lmao
Thank you in advance to anyone who shares advice/insights!
