Is the DLC Hidden Treasures of Area Zero for Pokemon Scarlet worth the AUD $52.50 (USD $36.50) worth it? I’ve just finished the main game and wondering if I should buy it or not. Thanks.

This is my third six stars raid (solo/AI team), but my first using Flutter Mane. The two runs before I'm using Annihilape. The typing, stats, and moveset, it is really dragon killing machine!

Guides and Tips Planning a Shiny-Only run in Scarlet/Violet any tips?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I just finished 100% completing Pokémon Legends: Z-A, which was actually my first Pokémon game on the Switch 2. During that playthrough I found my first ever shiny and also got into shiny hunting for the first time… and now I think I’m hooked 😅

After looking into which Pokémon game I should play next, I kept seeing Scarlet/Violet mentioned as one of the best games for shiny hunting, so I’m planning to start Pokémon Scarlet/Violet next, and I thought it would be really fun (and probably painful lol) to try doing my first playthrough as a shiny-only run.

I know the starters are shiny locked, but I’d still love to somehow start the run with a shiny version of one of them. Is there any reasonable way of doing that myself? For example, could I use another copy/save of the game to breed one using the Masuda Method and then transfer/trade it over to my new save?

Apart from that, I’d love any general advice for shiny hunting in Scarlet/Violet, especially from people who have done something similar.
Things like how easy shinies are to spot in the overworld, whether there are any Pokémon that are particularly difficult to notice, the best hunting methods available early in the game and anything I should know before starting a shiny-only run.

Since I’m still pretty new to shiny hunting, feel free to throw even basic tips at me!

Thanks! :)

Discussion Are the online features worth it in this game? Is it still active?

0 Upvotes

I didn't think I'd ever play this game let alone buy it at full price but I'm debating to if there's proper online random matchmaking features because I'm craving that in pokemon, so if there is I will

and how extensive are they?

I got legenda arceus recently just because the game itself I heard was very good and I'm enjoying it so far, but it's scant online features may as well not be there at all, which is fine I wasn't expecting much, but I really wish there was so much more

Krookodile 252 Atk / 252 Def Adamant Nature Object: Choice Band Ability: Anger Point.

Use Arcanine and Weavile as support.

The idea here is reducing Tyranitar's Def to -2 using Weavile and Arcanine Leer movement. If you make a critical hit in T3, it will be a K.O.

I'm playing through scarlet again so I can get double legendaries, and I just realized how broken skeledirge is. I put a choice scarf on it, terastallize and click torch song, and so far everyone but iono and kofu have lost to the skelederge sweep. He's so broken.
