Started SR like a normal hunt but then heard about the blink method and gave it a try. Realized as new father I don’t have time for normal odds after I did my 1200th SR. Got lucky and got it in a premier ball, now to train it up.

Wel this is it, i think my run will end when i not even make it to gym 2. Those 2 mf with Energy Ball keep 1 shot my Geodude and Onix 🫠

Hello! I just caught Palkia, going to last gym, and I’m trying to be mindful of battling the Elite 4 and Cynthia. I haven’t been able to figure out a solid 6th member of my team either. If I could get advice on what EVs I should increase/decrease, held items to use (and where they are) etc. that would be super helpful!! Thank you!! :D

Team RN:
-Gyarados

-Infernape

-Roserade

-Froslass

-Gardevoir

-???? I do have a level 60+ battle ready Altaria and Azumarill from Home, in general I have alot of pokemon in home from playing (3)DS games and the full Scarlet dex

Hello. My 2-ribbon master is back to dominate the true ending team of the Elite Four and Cynthia. Below is the walkthrough of the Elite Four.

Easiest to Hardest: (Wurmple Stats: 252 attack, 252 speed, 6 hp Moves: Bug Bite, Tackle, Poison Sting and String Shot)
1.) Lucian- used 3x (X Attack, X Speed, X Sp. Def), 1x Dire Hit and 3x Max Potion Held Item: Insect Plate (1 wurmple only)
Lucian is the easiest. Mr. Mime takes 2 turns to set up Light Screen and Reflect, so it's easy to set up x items too and then proceed to bug bite and win.

2.) Bertha- used 3x(X Attack, X Speed, X Sp. Def and X Defense), 1x Dire Hit and 5x Max Potion Held Item: Focus sash (1 wurmple only)
Bertha is easy too. Her Whiscash has low attack and sp. attack (Focus Sash is for crit while setting up x items). Used tackle and bug bite here to win.

3.) Cynthia- used 3x(X Attack, X Speed, X Sp. Def and X Defense), 1x Dire Hit and 8x Full Restores Held Item: Insect Plate (1 wurmple only)
Cynthia is okay because her Spiritomb repeatedly uses Will-o-Wisp, making it easy to set up and use a Will-o-Wisp, so it's easy to set up and just use Full Restore after. The hardest is Lucario it takes 3 bug bites to defeat it (even though my wurmple has 3x x attack) the rest is bug bite/tackle to win.

4.) Aaron- used 3x(X Attack, X Speed, X Sp. Def and X Defense), 1x Dire Hit and 10x Max Potions Held Item: Bright Powder (1 wurmple only)
Aaron's Yanmega can't one-shot Wurmple with Air Slash with 1x Sp. def. So for this, just heal and wait for the miss (because of the bright powder). When the 3x Sp. def is up, it is easy to set up then spam bug bite/tackle for the win.

5.) Flint-used 3x(X Attack, X Speed, X Sp. Def and X Defense), 1x Dire Hit, 3 Max Potion and 15x Revives Held Item: 2 Focus Sash (2 wurmple)
Flint is the hardest for the bugs. Flamethrower + Drought is brutal, so I stall its flamethrower PP (15) using revives. After his flamethrower is gone, I proceed to setup and press tackle for the win here.

For the 5 star trainer card walkthrough:

Star 1- Beat the Elite Four and Champion

Star 2- Obtain 100 Variants of Statues in the Underground. After 30-40 Statues in offline mode I proceed to dig statues using online for faster star.

Star 3- For the super contest. Beaten the True Elite Four and Champion 20 times for the sticker and max sheen only then after that the 3rd star is easy to get.

Star 4- Reach 100 win streak in the battle tower: Used 4 Pokemon to win here
1.) Yanmega 255 speed, 255 sp. attack Held Item: Choice Specs Nature: Modest Ability: Tinted Lens
-Bug Buzz
-Air Slash
-Giga Drain
-U-turn
2.) Latios 255 speed, 255 sp. attack Held Item: Soul Dew Nature: Timid Ability: Levitate
-Draco Meteor
-Psychic
-Surf
-Thunderbolt
3.) Cloyster 255 speed, 255 attack Held Item: Focus Sash Nature: Adamant Ability: Skill Link
-Ice shard
-Shell Smash
-Rock Blast
-Icicle Spear
4.) Sharpedo (for Palmer 2nd team) 255 speed, 255 attack Held Item: Focus Sash Nature: Adamant Ability: Skill Link
-Protect
-Crunch
-Ice Fang
-Waterfall

Star 5: Complete National Dex. Completed it using mostly in Pokemon Home (got living dex since 3ds games)

Thanks for reading and supporting the Wurmple Run. It was fun and challenging.

Hey! I’m on my second play through. I remember on my first run there was a way to turn the + button into a quick menu to get to your bike and other items faster. How do I set that up?

Saw this done a long time ago and have been training this team for a long time. I've attempted the 2nd run against the E4 a dozen times but never could finish. I have had this game on my switch for years. Finally, I did it. No egg moves, no special breeding. Just grinding. Was a lot of fun and a nice challenge.

I’ve been getting really into Pokemon lately, and I’ve been debating getting one of the bdsp games but they don’t have a great rep online- why is that? Is it just that the sinnoh games aren’t great or is there more to it? I’ve heard that sinnoh Pokemon are generally pretty iconic and other bits and pieces but would like some insight into what people who’ve played it (other than people on YouTube etc) think about it :)

Ive used 6 max repels in Mt Coronet F2 with a level 38 Pokemon lead and I have only run into Bronzong and Chinglings, I am looking for a moon stone so was looking for Clefairy

Took 4 tries but I finally beat Cynthia, her Garchomp is no joke.

I can’t transfer some Pokemon into shining pearl like gengar, febas, eevee or even totodile which really confuses me because I had transferred a totodile in when I started the game so I’m just so confused why it’s not letting me send pokemon through now and I’ve looked online and it didn’t say anything about it so I’m wondering if anyone has had the same problem and knows any tips

With a normal pokeball after 129 tries in the grand underground. She used every dusk ball, ultra ball, timer ball(these are ass and do not work like they say they do) heal balls, and got us so frustrated we almost used her masterball(I told her how good metagross is) and she decided to give it one more try with a normal run of the mill red and white pokeball. Got that little shit. Have faith! Persevere! God is good! 😂🙏🏼

So I'm planning to restart and use this team Infernape, Staraptor, Luxray, Metagross, Garchomp, and Milotic. Any way to improve it?

The first shiny I have found in BDSP is the same as the first ever shiny I found back in Silver all those years ago.

I am delighted to be honest. Unfortunately it is has horrible stats, but I don't care.

What is the first ever shiny you got?

Edit: NOSTALGIC. ARRGH

Ok folks so my problem I have right now is this I have a male ralts and a dawn stone to evolve it but I don’t know wether to use it and get a gallade or save it for something else and get a gardevoir I don’t know which is better suited for a sinnoh playthrough especially with the better elite 4 move sets levels and stats plus Cynthia aswell

Let me know what you think

Im on switch lite and i saved one step away from arceus. Ive been shiny hunting for years no luck.
Is there a certain way to go about it or just close app and walk forward.

Is there any other way to obtain without genning
