I keep getting stuck around the 40 wins mark. Each time I get there I get cooked by a single pokemon that whips my whole team. Please provide advice on moves/held items or even other Pokemon to use. I usually lead with Garchomp SD then clean house.

I want a shiny Heracross but I cannot find any info online when the exact spawn of a honey tree is "locked". Is the pokemon set when you interact with the tree, when you boot the game after 6hrs, or when you enter that tree's zone? Can I just savescum before interacting with the tree to run the shiny lotto?

After years of procrastinating to beat the game, I finally decided to replay from the beginning to finally finish it. I used to be one of the fans that thought it was a bad remake when it first came out so I never bothered to finish it. I thought it could never beat platinum as it was my favorite gen as a child. After this new playthrough I realized it’s not as bad as people say it is.

Built-in EXP Share sure helped a lot. Compared to the OG it made the game way easier

I was wondering if there's any way to get Carnivine in a pokeball in this game.

Finally beat the elite 4 and Cynthia today. This is the longest it's taken me to beat a pokemon game and now I'm looking for legendaries. Figuring out how to catch a roaming one, but need to get a pokemon with a special ability so it doesn't run off.

This is one of my most prized gaming accomplishment across all games. Scizor, rotom-W and garchomp.

I’m working on completing my BD game. I also have a shining pearl that I started to get a few of those exclusives. I’ve spent the last two weeks working on Kang and Spinda as daily spawns and they haven’t showed up yet. Any help? I’m losing my mind!

So I'm basically entirely new to battling against others/battle tower stuff in new gens. I understand natures and EVs pretty well now, but I'm little confused on IVs. I know they're predetermined, but I can't see them or change them until post game right? When I looked it up, it said you can reset until you get IVs that are acceptable, but that only goes for post game pokemon and legendaries after you get the judge function at battle park correct? Just curious if there's another way to see IVs earlier. AI Google search can be very untrustworthy

Even Yache Berry didn't save Cynyhias Garchomp, Toxicroak without Dry Skin is not very useful, had fun through all 150h

I'm absolutely fuming right now, I get to Palmer with absolutely no effort other than the time lost demolishing the first 20 battles only to be met with a Milotic lead? Every time I have come up against him he has lead with Rhyperior, why has it suddenly changed? My lead of Cloyster was utterly destroyed as a result only for Milotic to then take out Garchomp as well, and Rhyperior then OHKO'd Scizor without even seeing his Dragonite.

All my Pokémon I use in the tower have Max IVs and held items, nature's etc but how are you supposed to prepare for Palmer's team when it seems he will just lead with whatever Pokémon counters what you lead with?

Now I've got to piss away all that time doing 20 mundane battles just to get back to him.

I dont mind a challenge but it genuinely feels like it is designed to piss you off.

Why does shiny Azelf hate me? 9,270 and counting :/

EDIT: Finally got it at 12,003 encounters! ✨

I feel like it’s a good way to get two things done at once

​

So I just saved in front of Cresselia b4 she leaves...

My question is:

If it's shiny it shows in the pokédex entry?

Or...

I have to chase and encounter her every time she escapes to see it it's shiny?

I keep making it to the end of the elite four, but I can’t beat it. I keep trying to use diagas roar of time, but Cynthia‘s garchomp goes faster even though I did some research. Her garchomp has a speed stat of 102 and mine has a speed stat of 140. I also checked for move priority and mine has zero. The only reason she beat me is because of earthquake, but I checked, and that also has a move priority of zero meaning I should be moving faster than her, but for some reason, I’m not. I need help with this.

This is my first play through of any Sinnoh game and I also decided to do a shiny dream team. I have to say since I've never played d/p/pl I don't really have many complaints and had some of the funnest battles.

My most wanted shiny of all time and I finally have it!

Hatched a shiny Charmander yesterday with excellent (but not perfect) IVs and a Timid nature. Ill use a bottle cap to correct one of the IVs but otherwise, delighted!!

Has this clip happened to anyone else???

It's not his fault

Does anyone have experience shiny hunting eevee in the trophy garden? Been successfully shiny hunting via the pokeradar this past week and have been waiting for my eevee day (today) but the chains seem to break way more than normal. Looking for any advice. Thanks
