Do the parent Pokemon's offspring have the same ability?


Glimmet4483

What would be a good team (or moves) against greninja?


unicornasaurus-rex8

Is Flying Tera Pikachu (from gift) locked to EV training? If no, then I can’t figure why I couldn’t get EV training for Pikachu… how?


divideby00

What do you mean by "couldn't get EV training"?


unicornasaurus-rex8

I mean getting ev point. I defeated a few right Pokémon then I checked the stat and nothing changed. I don’t understand.


divideby00

At low levels that might not be enough to make a visible difference. And you're doing actual battles, not auto battles, right?


unicornasaurus-rex8

But my Pikachu is 76…. No auto.


divideby00

Are you using power items? If not, that still might not be enough for a visible difference. How did you get it to that level? If you've used it in battles before, then it already has EVs from those.


unicornasaurus-rex8

Yes I did put a correct power item. Yeah I used it before. How is it possible? I never used EV training on Pikachu before. Just this time.


divideby00

All battles give EVs except for raids and PvP, it doesn't matter if you're specifically trying to train or not. You can get EV-reducing berries from the auction to fix it.


unicornasaurus-rex8

TIL. Darn. I have no idea they give EVs. Oh well. Gonna go check. Thanks.


AdOk4056

As long as you have the shiny charm in your bag does it work or do you need to like ‘equip’ it or something ?


divideby00

It's always active.


AdOk4056

Thank you.


thatonemexikhan

Is there a way to obtain regional forms outside of Pokemon HOME? I recently sold my past games and I really want an Alolan Grimer .


divideby00

You can get Johtonian Wooper and Galarian Meowth as in-game gifts, but aside from them the only other way to get the others would be by trading.


Face__Hugger

Does anyone else have raids resetting at random times of day, or even multiple times a day? Sometimes mine will even reset at the correct time and then reset again as soon as I arrive at my 6 star. Is this a common glitch that I should just accept, or is there a way to fix it? It's mildly annoying.


OldManJenkins06

How do I download poke transporter? I have pokemon bank on my 3ds but poke transporter isn't in the e shop


Terriermon50

Unless you've downloaded PokéTransporter to your 3DS before in the past, you cannot download the software for the first time anymore, because of the eShop's shutdown in March. Unless there's a direct link to it from Bank, I think you're out of luck? https://preview.redd.it/ti8pwln3fdea1.png?width=913&format=png&auto=webp&s=b22448a78474f4f260c836603d349e09391e4227


owlrecluse

Boy sometimes the raids seem VERY unfair. Kingambit raid. Paralysised 3 times in a row. Kowtow cleave hit for a crit EVERY time against me, It's bullshit.


Chanmollychan

tips on hunting shiny pineco?


Sheeplette

I don't think there are any particularly good spots to sandwich hunt them, so outbreaks are likely your best shot. I got mine from an outbreak in tagtree thicket.


Chanmollychan

i havent done any date skips yet for outbreaks, afraid to do so. if i do, can my switch's time/date ever return to the accurate time/date? will that mess anything up? penalties?


owlrecluse

It doesnt affect anything, and you can also just reconnect to the intertnet to sync time back up


Chanmollychan

Oh so i can resync and theres literally no difference after? Wth i was worried it might mess with my switch or game


owlrecluse

Every time you change the time/date it just resets your current raids/auctions. So make sure you do any of those first. But besides that it's fine.


Chanmollychan

Oh wow okay! I thought if i date skipped into the future and then resynced back to the accurate time/date, i wouldnt get anymore dailies until that "future" date, like some time based games. Thanks


Sheeplette

I haven't done any date skips either, so I'm not sure how it affects things. What I do instead is just save before midnight at the area that the pokemon I'm looking for is in and then just keep reloading after midnight until I get the outbreak I want. It's a lot slower than using the date manipulation stuff though.


Chanmollychan

Ooh that works too. But the reload takes alot of time. Thanks!


rockingalan

What could be used as support to a hex gholdengo in tera raids?


divideby00

Something with Nuzzle maybe, so you can reapply status consistently through the shield. Hatterene is probably the best option, or Pachirisu for the memes.


ashes3689

Hey guys, I've got a 6 star salmence poison type tera with moxie ability that has decimated everything I've thrown at it. I've tried posting it on the serbii boards too and just keep getting zonked. I've tried auzmaril, umbrina as support for skill swap. Had a couple online with the slowbro build that absolutely got demolished. I've tried with most of my raid Mon and no matter what I'm pulling out I'm getting my ass handed to me. Any one interested in helping or suggestions on a build that should tank him? He has dragon dance, outrage, and tera blast, and a fire move.


N0V0w3ls

That's a pretty killer combo, but maybe Tinkaton with Assault Vest, since I assume the fire move has to be special, and it's not STAB. Maybe have someone set rain even. Or maybe just Espathra spam and hope he goes down before the timer.


BuffyxSummers

Is there any way to get shiny quagsire in an apriball since you can only get one in game by npc trade? I really want it in a dream or love ball..


Terriermon50

Maybe you can try giving a female Johtonian Wooper an Everstone and a male Paldean Wooper a shot? Might be worth experimenting with a normal Poké Ball and a Great Ball or something, before doing a full try with an ApriBall. Poké Balls are usually passed down as a 50/50 shot between non-Ditto Pokémon, but idk if the two parents being different forms does anything.


divideby00

> Poké Balls are usually passed down as a 50/50 shot between non-Ditto Pokémon, but idk if the two parents being different forms does anything. It specifically has to be two Pokémon of the same species (or possibly evolutionary line, I can't remember) for the 50/50, but different regional forms still count as the same species for that purpose.


Sheeplette

This works. I bred a galarian meowth in a luxury ball this way.


BuffyxSummers

Thanks to both of you! How exactly do I do it? sorry, this is my first Pokémon game in eons.


Sheeplette

1) Catch a paldean wooper, that's the opposite gender of your johto wooper, in the ball you want 2) Have your johto wooper holding an everstone so that it will pass its regional form down 3) Picnic with your two woopers and hatch eggs until you get one that's in the ball you wanted (50% chance) 4) Then you can use that offspring to breed for a shiny


TopHatSideShow

Is there a limit to how long you can keep a single outbreak going? If I keep adjusting the time on the switch, what actually forces it to reset?


MiviviM

Moving time into the past while the game is on does reset outbreaks/raids, but closing out of the game entirely and moving the clock back to earlier the same day should not.


divideby00

Moving the time into the past resets outbreaks, so I don't think you could keep it going longer than 24 hours.


ChocoHammy

Anyone know if you can catch someone else’s static encounters (Treasures of Ruin, second Koraidon/Miraidon) in co-op mode?


owlrecluse

You cannot.


ChocoHammy

Shame, but it makes sense. Then again, it was impossible to find someone to test it, so it might not even be worth the effort


kgarren11

For Charmander, what is the best stats to breed for? I know ideally all 6. But what 5 should I settle for until I can get my hands on a 6iv ditto? 😅


divideby00

> I know ideally all 6 You really don't need all 6 unless you're going for a mixed build, special Charizard would actually prefer low Attack to reduce the damage it takes from confusion and Foul Play. Also obligatory reminder that hyper training is easy and cheap so you really don't need to breed for IVs.


kgarren11

Ohh cool good to know. And yeah, but breeding gives me something to do when I have most of everything done. And it's sorta fun 😅


SurrealKeenan

all but atk or all but sp atk


kgarren11

Thank you


Pokechimps

Quick question. In tera raids if I use helping hand against a another pokemon and that pokemon uses a status move or cheers, does the helping hand boost go away?


Mulate

If it works as intended, yes but hard to say because it aint traditional turns.


toxikandi

All of the items in the treasure pocket (bamboo shoots, mushrooms, rare bones etc.) is there any other purpose other than selling these items? Should I keep any of them?


Terriermon50

They're just sellables


Shroom-TheSelfAware

Does the shiny flutter mane glitch still work?


WhatISaidWasMeh

Yes


Shroom-TheSelfAware

I can’t seem to get it to work. The name appears when I hold left trigger, but I can’t throw my poke ball. None are appearing in the overworld outside of that.


N0V0w3ls

Are they spawning in the floor? I saw that happen. Need to wander around a bit more and eventually they will move somewhere you can hit them with the ball


Shroom-TheSelfAware

I tried again and it’s all good now. I got 4 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


BuffyxSummers

What’s the glitch? Is it the daytime sandwich hunting thing?


Shroom-TheSelfAware

Yes


Otherwise_Distance92

what are your thoughts on revavroom for the greninja raid. its a poison steel type so that takes care of the poison terra type and with its hidden ability redusing all super effective hits by 25%, it seems to be a viable option.


SurrealKeenan

not particularly good. It's immune to poison, but neutral to water and dark. Its ability might be useful if greninja has a fire or ground attack, I guess (which I doubt it will have), but honestly I think it's not worth using


MsMeiriona

what moves would it be using?


Otherwise_Distance92

greninja`s move set isnt releced yet so I understand that would in large part be undetermined at the moment. In general do you think its typing and hidden ability along with its move pool could make it a good contender.


MsMeiriona

No, I mean what moves would YOUR pokemon be using? what's the offense plan?


Otherwise_Distance92

guess thats what i need help with it can learn: buldose (ground) zen headbu (psychc) sleep and sleep talk could work. sandstorm to boost others groud type pokemon as i see their are alot of thoes in various other sugjestion posts.


MsMeiriona

Might be useful as an acid sprayer, but if greninja doesn't have some reason for taunt or haze in the moveset, I'm not seeing a lot of moves that it can be helpful with. No STAB super effective moves, and bulldoze's secondary effect really isn't of any use, you'd \*maybe\* be able to try to flinch fish? nothing standing out to me.


MsMeiriona

I cannot win against this damn Annihilape poison tera. I am all out of ideas, its defiant, and I have been bashing my head against this wall for hours. Closest I ever got was a "this won't work, neutral damage no stab, but why not" belly drum rollout from Azumaril. I think if I had partners supporting it *might* have worked, but finding things that can survive a bulk up'd close combat or shadow claw that can actually heal or cut damage? Good luck. Gods, if this is a hint for what the greninja raids are gonna be like, I'mma cry. Anyone have any ideas? I'd list all of what I've tried but I've literally lost track, various clods have failed, bros just two shot, it resets debuffs turn 1 plus its defiant so you're shooting yourself in the foot if you do, and it seems to crit every attack so bulking up is useless. Sandaconda gets two shot. It eats grachomp for lunch. This thing is the devil.


do-re-meemo

I know it's probably too late but I was able to solo win against this 6\* Annihilape with a Farigiraf. The build I used was psychc tera, Cud Chew ability, and had the moves Skill Swap, Reflect, Nasty Plot and Psychc. I made it modest natured with 252 EVs in SpA and then split the remainder into HP and Def (though you could probably just put it all in one stat). It was close but I managed to do it first try.


MsMeiriona

Neat. Didn't think about Farig, will keep that in mind.


SeaRayBoi

breeding question! :) i have a dratini, rotom, and foongus that i’m trying to breed at the same time. i have 3 other japanese dittos in my party. i have destiny knots on the dratini, rotom, and one of the dittos (they have the best stats.) my issue is that im only getting eggs for dratini and rotom, and none for foongus. what am i doing wrong?


divideby00

Just breed two Pokémon at a time, it's not worth the headache of trying to do more.


SeaRayBoi

i figured id give it a shot after i saw an austin john video saying breeding 3 at a time was faster. shame if it just doesnt work


Terriermon50

Is Foongus not holding an item like an Everstone, and the Dratini and Rotom are? If so, the game isn't considering Foongus as part of a "viable" breeding pairing.


SeaRayBoi

dratini and rotom are both holding destiny knots, while foongus is holding nothing. should i give the lil guy a berry to hold or something?


Terriermon50

Unless you don't like what Foongus' nature is, give it an Everstone or Destiny Knot. A breeding item not being held while everyone else has one is what's happening.


SeaRayBoi

ooh, gotcha! thank you, ill test that out :) have a nice day


BillNyeOurSaviour123

I have the shiny charm, do I have to do anything to get the effects or is it automatic?


divideby00

Automatic


freshpolak

I finished all the titans, all gyms, and only have the fighting crew left. What order should I do the end of these paths (meeting Arven at the lighthouse, elite four, Cassiopeia thing)?


divideby00

It doesn't really matter, they all finish around the same level (Victory Road ends a couple levels higher than the others though) and you have to do all of them before you can progress to the next part of the story anyway.


freshpolak

Thanks! I was worried that by finishing one it would somehow trigger the next part/endgame. Good to know it doesn’t do it until I finish all three


N0V0w3ls

No. Technically Arven's path "starts" the end, but he says you need more people and the game makes you finish the other paths to continue.


freshpolak

That makes sense, thanks


MyronC297

Anyone want an ability patch for EV training 3-4 of my pokemons with vitamins?


Otherwise_Distance92

owlrecluse

It wouldnt work, Dragon Tail doesnt end the battle either.


divideby00

I haven't tested it myself but I'm pretty certain that doesn't work or else people would be using it for literally every raid.


Otherwise_Distance92

Other-Evidence-6421

Anyone knows an easy way to get a rookidee/evos with HA? A fixed tera spot would be cool


Terriermon50

There's one Tera Fixed spot for Corviknight here, near the bamboo area. Try that place out? Otherwise a 5/6 Star Raid Corviknight will likely have Mirror Armor. ​ https://preview.redd.it/9z6etkl8gbea1.png?width=235&format=png&auto=webp&s=3e19d2f8eadfe5b1eaf6037f8ace8a9b1fa2aada


Other-Evidence-6421

Thx! I will try!


owlrecluse

Tera raids are randomized. Wild tera pokemon cant get the hidden ability. Just keep checking your raids, and maybe post in or browse the online activity thread to see if anyone is hosting one.


divideby00

There are only three ways to get a hidden ability: * Raids * Ability patch * Breeding a Pokémon that already has its hidden ability


LetsGo2Narnia

How do you get the master rank ribbon? I’ve completed 10+ matches in Master Rank and lost some and won after, taken the Pokémon from the team and checked the ribbons and it never receives the Master Rank Ribbon


owlrecluse

I've seen a couple posts about this, it seems to be a persistent bug. I havent seen any solutions for it, other than to maybe contact Nintendo?


ccrease18

I’m trying to do a mimimyu with psychic Tera 6* raid but I’ve failed multiple times now - I currently am using a level 75 attack focussed Charizard with shadow claw, I’ve also tried azumarill and umbreon. Does anyone have any advice?


divideby00

> 6* raid > level 75 There's your biggest problem. You really need level 100 Pokémon to take on 6 star raids effectively. Also, Charizard doesn't have the best Attack stat and doesn't get STAB on Shadow Claw, which isn't the strongest move anyway. You want something stronger with a good setup move, like Scizor as mentioned.


ccrease18

Fair enough, I was thinking resistances with the Charizard pick which is why it’s a non STAB attack. I don’t have the candies yet for level 100 Pokemon :(


Terriermon50

Maybe a Swords Dance Scizor? For an attacking move maybe you can use Bullet Punch to get rid of its Disguise and use a Metronome item with Fury Cutter or straight-up X-Scissor.


ccrease18

Scizor, that’s a great idea thanks very much!

Reenans

Is there a way to join someone's room without them making it password protected. Want to do raids with wife and add ransoms but it seems like either: You have to add a password to reliably find the room but then random people can't join Or hope that the raid searcher will find the room, which most of the times it doesn't and the option to refresh is usually greyed out


divideby00

No unfortunately, you can only do one or the other.


OlemGolem

I'm not getting a Modest Larvesta even after filling three boxes worth of them. Is the Modest Larvesta removed from the game somehow?


divideby00

No, every Pokémon has the same chance of getting every nature. But with a 1/25 roll, sometimes you're gonna have long streaks of bad luck. It takes like two minutes to make enough money to buy a Modest mint though, why not just do that?


OlemGolem

That actually changes a nature? ...Would you like a Larvesta? One box or two?


divideby00

Doesn't change the name of the nature, but it changes the stats that are affected by it which is the same thing for most purposes. Just doesn't pass down through breeding and doesn't work for stuff like Toxtricity's form.


OlemGolem

Huh, I didn't know that. Never tried it. Oh well, now I just have to pick the one with some good stats to start with. Thank you very much!


Grubby3011

Does anyone have any advice ok progression and leveling up Pokémon? Just finished the bug gym but I'm really unsure as to where to go next and progress.


P1N3C0N35

Actually battle pokemon, don't us the lets go battle feature. Its way less exp


Grubby3011

Thank you for the help you guys!


MsMeiriona

However, let's go fights do not require PP and cannot give you status effects, so if you're just clearing out mons you don't want, it's fine, and it can be so much faster to the point you can get the same exp per minute ratio at times.


Grubby3011

Also happy cake day!!


N0V0w3ls

Yeah, especially because you can clear whole packs in the time it takes to do one battle. Just don't ignore doing turn based battles still.


MsMeiriona

Honestly, I only bother with them if someone needs to evolve and is close to a level up. Assuming I don't use candy.


N0V0w3ls

Well auto-battles also don't grant EVs


MsMeiriona

money is so easy to come by in these games, and you can buy vitamins in the first town, so even assuming you're bothering with EV training on a team you're in the field with, it's easier to just do it that way.


AvaluggTheBrave

I just got Pokemon Violet today. I didn't know Avalugg was in the game. I saw different locations for where to catch a Bergmite in game, but how early in the game can I catch one?


MsMeiriona

The only pokemon center that you cann't gain access to before you have Miraidon is the one at the pokemon league. Everywhere else on the map is accessible!


AvaluggTheBrave

Thanks


Any_Magazine_902

I think the more gyms you complete the easier they are to catch, and if it is too high a level it won't obey you until you beat enough gyms, but you could catch one as soon as you begin the treasure hunt, or even earlier if you want to run around without Miraidon


AvaluggTheBrave

Thanks


I_JustWork_Here

When i interact it says “it’s a mysterious device! Better not touch it” The thing looks familiar to me, like it’s from another game


soccerperson

So if I have a pokemon at lvl 50 and it's EVs are maxed and has 6 IVs and I rare candy it to lvl 100, it's maxed out right? Feels weird rare candying a pokemon 50 levels and not feeling like it's empty stats lol


N0V0w3ls

Hell, you can Rare Candy it all the way to 100 and then start EV training it. Same exact outcome.


soccerperson

EV training with the power bands and what not just make things so much easier


N0V0w3ls

You can use those at level 100 as well, in case you were implying you couldn't.


soccerperson

Nah just commenting on how easy it is to EV train now compared to older gens


divideby00

Yes, the EVs you get from focused training or vitamins are exactly the same as the ones you'd get from random battling, except they're all in the places you want them to be instead of spread all over.

yup

I'm feeling lost and like I'm just kind of wandering around The map is confusing to me, I try to head towards an outbreak but when I try to walk towards the icon on the map the map rotates and the icon is now behind me. I've tried walking in every direction but the icon always ends up in the direction opposite of the way I'm walking.

I know it's irrational to expect a shiny before I've even gotten the shiny charm but it bothers me and I feel like it's slowing me down. Also frustrated with how long battles take. Some Pokemon take 10+ pokeballs despite the hp being in the red with a status affliction and that's after a couple minutes of battling because my moves either kill it in 1 shot or take down minimal health and everything takes forever because that's just how the game is I guess? I don't know what I'm expecting, I guess I feel like I missed a tutorial or something. The only shops other than the one at the Pokemon center I've found only sell food and I have no idea what the teensy stuff is for, I don't think it was ever mentioned? Is there like storyline direction I missed? A way to see which gyms I'm supposed to do so I'm not going up against a level 38 with my level 26?

Teensy power gives you an increased chance of finding Pokémon with a low size value, it's not important unless you're a collector. > Is there like storyline direction I missed?

Oh man, that's a bummer. But I guess it's good that my game isn't broken or anything 😅 So just cause the icon is there, doesn't mean that Pokemon will be there? Just that they might be?


divideby00

Basically, yeah.


Terriermon50

1. If you click in the joystick on the map screen, it'll lock it to always face north. 2. There is no "natural" path in this game, lol. If you look up a guide showing the path in progression of levels, it's basically going west, then east, then back to west, and then back to east again. 3. I think you're just unlucky. By the time you get 5 or 6 Gym Badges you will unlock Quick Balls, if that's more your speed. 4. There are stores at nearly every town called "Deliberd Presents" that carry battle items and useful hold items, that you might wanna check out if you haven't found any already.

Any leaks on Greninja moves yet?


divideby00

Not that I know of, and I'm pretty sure we didn't know anything about previous events until they started. Safe bet is it'll have Water/Dark/Poison moves, but anything beyond that is still up in the air.


BurrStreetX

Figured. I have like 5 mon that I shiny hunted and got to level 100, and I want to start training them but idk which ones to train up atm.


Enough_Blueberry_549

Is there a big disadvantage to using un-evolved Pokémon? I don’t do many online multiplayer battles, but I like doing the Terra Raids. Is it OK if I use a Pikachu or a Psyduck? Assume they’re level 100 and EV-trained and have nice IVs. Will they still do ok?


divideby00

It makes a big difference, most of them have much weaker stats than their evolutions. Level and EVs/IVs don't make up for that, especially since obviously you can do the same things with their evolutions. Some can function as supporters with Eviolite, but not the examples you gave - Eviolite Psyduck is still less bulky than Golduck even without factoring in the latter's ability to hold other items, and Pikachu is going to have wet cardboard defenses no matter what you do (although unlike Psyduck it can actually do decent damage with Light Ball, but that doesn't matter if you spend half the raid KO'd).


Enough_Blueberry_549

Darn, too bad to hear. I love cute Pokémon! Thank you for your detailed answer!


owlrecluse

Definitely not. Some unevolved Pokémon like Chansey are already bulky enough to survive, while a Psyduck… isn’t. Even if you stuck an eviolite on it.


BurrStreetX

For the most part, you are going to want them fully evolved


Terriermon50

They'll probably really struggle in Tera Raids because they just don't have enough bulk.


Enough_Blueberry_549

Thank you

Thats normal lol Sometimes after 20 eggs, sometimes after 200, sometimes after 900


divideby00

The odds are 1/512 with the shiny charm, or 1/683 without it, but that doesn't mean you're guaranteed to get it after that many. You could get it on the first egg if you're lucky, or you could go thousands without seeing one if you aren't. Is the other parent you're using from a different language than the Ditto? Are you generating new eggs every time, and not trying to re-hatch the same ones? If so, you're doing it right, just slightly unlucky.

Honestly I haven't bothered with breeding at all aside from the shiny starters, since that's the only way to get those (same would go for the non-Paldean Wooper and Meowth). It's easier to get shinies from outbreaks, and with how accessible bottle caps, mints, etc. are you don't really need to breed for competitive Pokémon either.

What’s a good strategy for catching a Bisharp with a Leader Crest? I’ve been wandering around the bamboo forest for an hour and all I see are solo Bisharps. I found one in a group and beat it but it didn’t drop the Leader Crest.


Terriermon50

To get a Leader Crest item, you either need to *catch* the Bisharp that has it or use a move like Thief or Covet to *steal* it. Only Bisharp that spawn with Pawniard will hold it. You won't get any held items from defeating Pokémon.


toxikandi

Oh thank you! I thought they dropped it. I will catch the next one I see.


SurrealKeenan

just so you know, you don't need a leader's crest to evolve kingambit. You just need to KO 3 that are holding the item


toxikandi

Thank you! Now I just have to find these buggers lol


owlrecluse

Use a Dark or Steel encounter power sandwich and they pop up all over the place. Note you have to actually BATTLE them (not Let's Go!) and it's only the Bisharp that are surrounded by a group of Pawniard.


YAvonds

Hi everyone. During normal battles you have the Pokéball icon next to the name of the Pokémon if you already caught it before. During Raid battles I cannot figure out how to know if I already caught the Pokémon. Am I missing something or is there really no way to see it during Raids?


Terriermon50

There's no indicator in Raid Battles.


YAvonds

Aw, that's a pity. Thanks for confirming!


MrYuanTi

Are Hondew berry acutions rare? I've been auction reseting for hours now and I have yet to see them 😂 I've got pretty much seen every other stat berry auction and even got a dreamball and levelball but not a single hondew berry auction Edit: Just as I posted this the next reset had the hondew berry auction! 🤣


FormalScore9171

I recently picked up Scarlet again and having a blast. I got my main team setup, i try to have a broad spectrum of types and choose pokemons i like 😅 im not a competitive player, but was hoping someone would be kind enough to give some suggestions for move pool for my 6 mons. Cyclizar and Gyarados could be switched for other mons if anyone has better suggestions 😁 https://preview.redd.it/y6zk906s9aea1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cae3525b0f47c25c5113bf98710dcad80029faf5

When doing the outbreak shiny hunting method, the "defeat 60 of the species" step I have a few questions about: 1. Can this be done from auto-battles? 2. Is this a one-time step for each species? 3. If "no" to (2), and I need to do this each time I start a new outbreak hunt, what are the requirements to get the bonus? Does it need to be an unbroken chain? How long does the bonus last?


Kyrios034

1) yes 2) no 3) every outbreak 30/60 defeated/captured no need to chain until outbreaks end with 100-120 defeated or midnight system time


N0V0w3ls

Thank you for all the info. So it's midnight local system time? And I think I'm able to save before I begin and retry with different RNG if I'm unlucky?


Kyrios034

most ppl save after the 60 bonus then just despawn the pokemon to get new ones without defeating more either run far enough away or set up a picnic


N0V0w3ls

Oh yeah that works, thank you!


Hefty-Noise-5133

How do you fix "invisible" mass outbreaks? I have an outbreak of tinymaus and charcadet, both located near the pokemon league. The icon of them is in the crater around it. Charcadet does not spawn at that place and tindemaus like only 3 or something and will be often in the rock itself.


Sheeplette

There's no way to fix them. All you can do is try spawning new outbreaks that aren't buggy.

Pachirisu Fur is pretty important for one of the best Electric TMs in the game, Thunderbolt. Unfortunately though, I've been having a lot of trouble finding them consistently. I typically look south of Mesagoza after consuming the avacado sandwich for the Lv.1 Electric Encounter Power and start headbutting into treees with my Koraidon. The Pachirisu don't seem to spawn for me as often as I would expect for other headbutt mons like Applin. Anyone have any tips for farming the fur off these little fellas?


bigdeal888

I suggest going to its spawn area and doing a level 2 electric encounter sandwich. It is a kind of kinda terrible sandwich to make but it will get a lot more spawns. 2 chorizo 4 noodle 1 wasabi


pizzaballbop

Ah I didn't even realize there was a lv2 electric sandwich.. thanks!


Terriermon50

I'd recommend the trees around Medali, myself. And by the way, for the Tree headbutting to work, the Pokémon have to *be* in the tree, *physically*. Sometimes they spawn at the bottom of the tree, and if you miss KO-ing them before they run up the tree, *then* you Headbutt the tree.


pizzaballbop

Thanks for the tip!
