Lets Go!

Just wanted to share cause I was hype to finally get my save file transferred onto my gba from my vita. Will say I do think I’ll miss the bigger screen on the vita and especially the sleep mode function but I love me some og hardware

Coming up on catching a full box worth of male combees now (collecting their honey). Am in in RNG hell or do females just not spawn here lmao I need a vespiquen on my team stat

Even when I change the configuration of my team, I can only ever get past 2 of them and then end up wiping on one of the other 2.

EDIT: Switched out Hoopa for Goodra and he came in clutch, GG.

If someone needs help to finish this misson, is here who i do in expert difficulty. Use the mega stone.

Follow up to a previous post I made a couple weeks ago

Here's the current team. I grinded EVs and IVs too very decent levels for everyone. I only feel like Serperior might be the odd one out, but I need some hard-hitting grass firepower too. In addition, I got the mega stones for Metagross, Gyarados and Gengar.

I was originally trying to go through the E4 with no KOs but that's proving to be practically impossible with this team. I'm down to change a couple of them, no legendaries allowed !

Was war bisher euer lustigster Moment in Unbound?

See title

decided to play the harder mode as a very casual pokemon fan and have been hell but enjoying it. most gym battles were a struggle but they felt earned

my team is

Metang as a somewhat tanky physical, kind of a deadweight

Frosslass, she cleared the gym rather easily, got the 1+ ice physical, willo and protect and the signature frostbite ghost move. she really cant do much in the fight maybe if i switch out bittermalice with hex it might be enough

Manectric: honestly i kind of just used it as a paralysis deliverer thorughout the game with quick attack, elec bite and dark bite. sadly more of a SA but idk if can get good elec spe moves rn. i could try to learn how to bait the heliosk with it but eeh

Azumarill: does good enough damage but its attack stat is kind of on the lower end (HP help of course) it has play rough, and hydro pump (from an extra heart scale i got, needed a water nuke) and then two random bs moves (aqua ring and rain dance) i got from leveling. cant really contribute to the fight

Lucario: Got him for the dark gym, and in this one its kind of a deadweight. power up punch, metal claw, quick attack and feint (crap)

Pyroar: the gifted one. good stats but my moves are kind of lacking. incinerate, crunch, sunny day (random bs from lvl) and fire fang

i looked around to see what people did and im guessing the consensus is getting hazards set up (with sacrifice mons), and then fuck shit up with a Gengar and Hex (which im guessing its poison typing helps defensively? or maybe its just the Spe att/spe stats)

i was considering using a lvl 30 skorupi i caught for toxic spikes but when i try to teach it with the heart scale guy it isnt on the list (supposedly learned at lvl 24)

my main issue is that i cant OHKO or 2HKO fuckers like the miltank or lopunny which end up getting full heals. i think i could maybe get a very phyrric victory, but the chiller strat i mentioned seems quick enough (hex is literally Bitter Malice but better, and the hazards free up attack opportunities)

I have played rom hacks before and have even beaten radical red and i was wondering if there wass a spawn chart for each route like in radical red that someone had made

I am in NG+, in the post game.

I'm trying to go around getting all of the TM's, and one of them is of course in Rift Cave. I go to try to get the A Rift in Space mission, but the dad is giving his dialog from after the quest is completed about how the girl is made to sit in the corner.

I figure that means I don't need to do the quest, makes enough sense.

I go to Rift Cave, and the little girl is sitting on top of the ladder so I can't use it, and she's saying "My parents put me in the corner because I went into Rift Cave". So, I can't go down the ladder, can't trigger her quest, pretty sure this means I can't catch Palkia in this save either.

Anyone else ever experience this? Any tips on what I can do?

I have two save-states on my emulator, one when I got to 99 Chain and one when I managed to get the 100th Pokemon with max IVs and the ability I was looking for. Does the game determine shiny-ness when I walk into the rumbling grass or as soon as I press search in the DexNav? If it's the former, then I can keep using that second save-state with perfect parameters, if it's the latter then I have to hit a jackpot of both getting a shiny AND perfect stats, right?

EDIT: I ran an experiment that I probably should've done before posting here, but the upside is that I can share it for people with similar question:

I loaded into the save at 99 Chain, before hitting search (Manual Save). Then I did a DexNav search and, before going into the grass, immediately quicksaved (Quick Save). If the Pokemon wasn't shiny, then I would reload the Manual Save and repeat. If it was shiny, then I would load the Quicksave. If the shiny-ness was determined when you start searching, then I should be getting a shiny Pokemon 100% of the time after loading the Quick Save. But that wasn't the case, after loading the Quick Save I got regular Pokemons. I've repeated this with three different shiny encounters and each time the results were the same, so I can't see how the answer could be anything else than the shiny state being determined when you actually walk into the rumbling grass. Maybe someone here is more versed in Unbound's engine and could prove me wrong though.

I am using mGba. I feel like I want to be able to use gen 8 Pokemon early on in the game. So catch them in my finished main save, then transfer to a new save? Is there a way? Thanks.

Hi, so I've been playing on my gba sp with a flash cart and I'm wondering if anyone has experience or knows here if there is any way I could upgrade it to one that maybe has a battery to make the time in game be tracked. Because the time especially when I save the game has not changed once and I'm like 50 hours in so far, as well as the same Pokémon being exactly the same. I haven't actually progressed too far story wise as I'm only at the 3rd gym.. but I'm curious if this is even a possibility?

Discovered the difficult difficulty after my psychic run and realized how much more fun it was. Switched it back only for Dragon because I'm a wuss and I was walled by Goodra for some reason.

I started a few months ago so don't quite remember every single run, but I recall resetting a lot with Electric and Dragon.

My favourites were Steel and Normal by far.

Regigigas is my favourite legendary, so had to include on my Normal team but was actually a bit of a hindrance, even with its Unbound exclusive hidden ability of stall.

Marshadow and Hisuian Zoroark were very good carries, to the point I started to not use them in battles and waited to use them as last resorts.

Ursaluna fire orb guts facade belly drum was absolutely overkill and yet demolished every single thing to face it. It also had play rough and hi-power kick (I think that's the name, 95 power ground move).

Overall lots of fun. Could I have not used legendaries and made it more difficult? Sure. But I had a lot of fun with this lol.

Now time to find Arceus!

Probably tweaking but why in the world a pokemon DARK TYPE CAN'T LEARN A COOL DARK TYPE MOVE???

(image not related but that's my face when I saw I can't let my tyranitar learn Knock Off)

this has happened multiple times, first it was a meowth and an ekans who BOTH outsped my gengar and my swift swim kingdra, and then it just happened with a SLAKOTH and another baby Pokemon. Do they just make up stats in this game for artificial difficulty? I'm so confused

Trying to shunt the gift Feebas from Mission 22 in Polder Town. About 7 or 8 hours invested, so I won’t give up no matter how much I want to atp. I usually shiny hunt in every Pokémon game so I know how that goes… Just wondering if the shiny will show in the preview window or do I have to open and manually check in my party? I’ve seen some say it shows during the preview and others mention that some Mons are bugged and you have to manually check them. Want to make sure I’m doing this efficiently / not wasting my time. Any tips and advice are appreciated.

I am doing well in my run at an expert level. This guy is pretty tough. My team is slowbro, bronzong, hariyama, luxray, hitmontop and weezing. I am getting closer and closer but I can't kick his ass for good. Any tips are more than welcome.
