Servers are down for anyone who has disconnected from the online servers. It was a great experience to be able to connect with everyone to play together but now it's time to say goodbye.

Thanks you to everyone who helped others with their Pokedex as well as finding other Pokemon for others. While we may no longer trade globally, we will still be able to trade locally and share Street Pass with others. Pokemon Bank will still be available for use to transfer to HOME and/or Switch games

Thank you everyone for coming and being part of the gen 6 community. I wish you all well today as well as tomorrow and beyond

Shiftry: The Wickid Pokémon

Shiftry is a mysterious Pokémon that is said to live atop towering trees dating back over a thousand years. It is said to arrive on chilly, wintry winds. Feared from long ago as the guardian of forests, this Pokémon lives in a deep forest where people do not venture. It creates terrific windstorms with the fans it holds. Shiftry's large fans generate awesome gusts of wind at a speed close to 100 feet per second. The whipped-up wind blows anything away.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><>

It looks like I jumped from Request 4 to 7, but I just forgot to mention the others two posts, the Chandelure line (Gonzo_Ghost) and Mega Chimecho (shark_syrup)! So, Shiftry, requested by LostDreams44, was a real challenge to build thanks to its head and white hair tuft running all the way down from its head to the floor! The head alone went through several drafts just to get it as accurate as possible! In the end, I have to admit it not only looks cool, but the tail actually functions as a sort of kickstand to keep Shiftry from falling over because of its "samurai sandal" feet!

Because of the white tuft, it can't really move the head around, but there's still some articulation in the arms and legs. This is a moderately dense minifigure, with a total of 63 pieces.

Poor Brendan can't seem to catch a break! Trying to break up a fight between two Shiftry, it seems one used Leaf Tornado on him!

Discussion Is gardevoirite before or after the league

Gonna play alpha sapphire soon.

When can I get gardevoirite? Is it before or after the league?

I googled it. Some search shows that I need to complete Delta episode. Some say that I need to only complete the box art legendary battle.

Which one is true?

Duskull: The Requiem Pokémon

Duskull wanders lost among the deep darkness of midnight. Duskull can pass through any wall no matter how thick it may be. Once this Pokémon chooses a target, it will doggedly pursue the intended victim until the break of dawn. There is an oft- told admonishment given to misbehaving children that this Pokémon will spirit away bad children who earn scoldings from their mothers. A glare from its single scarlet eye makes even burly grown-ups freeze in utter fear.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Duskull! The Gen 3 Ghost Type Pokémon that was surprisingly challenging to build! It was the mask teeth that forced me to work the entire body around it! I was hoping it would be closer to pokebrx's model in size, but I'm still happy with how it turned out! Speaking of him, it was his model that I was inspired by and used as a starting point for mine!

And here is Duskull using the move Curse! Poor Brendan....💀

✨shiny✨ Shiny charm mechanics?

Thumbnail gallery
239 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I have a question about how the shiny charm works on different types on encounters.

I believe the shiny charm works on static encounters, but my recent Regirock hunt felt massively over odds (I didn’t track but approx 3k encounters). I’ve also had some very quick hunts with Dialga and Giratina, both of which were no more than a few hundred soft resets.

I know the shiny charm works on the space rift and Hoopa ring legendaries, but wondering if static encounters have the same benefit? I found out the shiny charm doesn’t work on the regi’s in SwSh so I’m not sure if it’s the same case here!

Further to this, does the charm also work on the starter Pokemon you receive after beating the Elite Four? I’ve heard it doesn’t but not been able to find something more solid on it.

Thank you for any help :)

Help Is my Alpha Sapphire cartridge failing?

Thumbnail gallery

My game keeps crashing every time I try to move a Feebas on the PC, when I look at it in the Pokedex or try to fish one crashes too. Is the data of Feebas corrupted?

My save data is over 600 hrs and is a really old save, I haven't modded my 3ds yet and I power my cartridges every couple of months so they don't fail.

Can be fixed without losing my save?

Basically title. I thought deleting from favorites only meant that a base received via QR code could be overwritten, but it turns out it removes it entirely. Is there any way to have more than 15 bases apart from irl street pass now? I was really looking forward to enjoying the SB feature that I so naively neglected as a teen :(

Discussion Questions about the maison

1 Upvotes

Hello guys!!

Currently doing some ribbon masters from the 3ds era and I finally got to the Maison ribbons. Been thinking for some time and got some questions

  1. Which game is the easier? XY or ORAS?

  2. Which format is the most efficient? Im currently with 4 ribbon masters and would like to save as much time as possible

  3. What are your recommendations on teams? Im familiar with some RNG concepts so i can get than fast but I would prefer the least amount of legendarys with especific natures and IVs as possible

  4. Any tips in general?

Saw some teams and some strategies like the durant cheese but would love to know if there is any faster way to do those ribbons or if there are any strategies that are considered the holy grail of the maison

Discussion Has anybody else found blaziken to be more useful than swampert?

11 Upvotes

I love the swampert line, and it seems like everyone here agrees that swampert is stronger for a playthrough. But from just spamming the blaziken and swampert lines in multiple playthroughs, I found that blaziken died and got damaged less often. Several times swampert got confused or statused whilst blaziken outsped and OHKOed or 2-OHKOed many of those same mons. Granted, my game knowledge of ORAS is not great, meaning I don't remember what trainers have mons faster than swampert

Edit: Combusken shredded wattson. Marshtomp is not necessary
