I’m building a team with all different types of moves but if I don’t need that then let me know! (If the game is too easy) BTW, I’m playing legit, meaning I’m not hacking or cheating or changing time. I’m looking for a grass type pokemon because I need a pkmn with a grass type move but if there’s anything better I’ll take it. I was thinking: Lurantis Appletun(I’ll get it through GTS) Hatterene Sirfetch’d I would take flapple but google is saying it gets weak towards end of game.
So what do you all think?
**Cant wait for switch 2!
I was previously able to have a second account access the DLC for shield, but now I can't. Does anyone know why? It just says that the expansion pass is paid content, & directs me to the eShop
Spent a good hour catching Calyrex, he was Zamazenta and Latias got tired of playing nice
I included a picture so you can see, I know Latias shouldn’t resist ice type attacks, what am I missing here?
Just started playing for the first time yesterday, old timer Pokémon fan just decided to get into the Switch titles.
Picked a starter at the beginning, cool, then I got into the Isle of Armor early and got a new starter to choose from this one being a gen 1 classic. Any other moments where you get to choose between a few starters from an older generation? Not catch, just gifted.
I’m planning on buying sword so I’m just wondering if people still do raids or not
If I have Pokemon sword in one account and the Pokemon sword DLC in another account, both on the same console, will I be able to access the DLC in any of the two account?
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.
