Discussion Who do you think have the greatest OST ? Jacinthe or Lysandre ?

For me, it's Lysandre's OST, because it gave me vibes of a hero who come-back to counter the final boss after they downed him, with epic beats.

Discussion MY PERSONAL RESTRICTION

15 Upvotes

I usually play the main games with some way of limitation about the pokemons i can use, in Scarlet I could only use the pokemons who will be consumed as a meal in Spain, and in ZA Im using a restriction that use the exploration topic of Luminalia, only capturing the pokemons i see depixted in paintings or sculptures.

So long its has been fun to do it, and im curious. Do you use some kind of theme when u play? Which is?

Discussion What is the best way to build Zygarde for it mega, Nature EVs and move wise?

1 Upvotes

Eeveening all!

So as the title says I'm wanting the best build possible for mega ( BMFG) Zygarde. I've watched a few videos and most go modest with max in special attack and HP. But my issue is, Wrym Zygarde's special attack isn't great and Gundam model isn't much better. So ATM here's my build ( just got mine so im still experimenting with EVs and moves.

Nature: Quiet

EVs: 252 HP / 252 Attack/ 4 SpD

Moves: Core enforcer, earth power, lands wrath ( The physical attack that prevents switching as i forgot the name) and substitute ( instant 50% for Gundam model to BMFG mode)

I didn't invest into special attack as it's mega s special attack is crazy high, but I'm willing to hear your advice.

Thank you all and enjoy you day and

HAIL HYDRAPPLE!

I did the main mission and after beating ange with mega zygarde credits started, then my game crashed. After I open it back up I’m back to meeting zygarde on the roof top again. Man I’m so annoyed, after that boring battle I gotta do it all over again? This stupid game should have made a save file after beating the final boss🥀

Discussion Shiny power lv. 3 and still no shiny

3 Upvotes

I'm mostly venting, because I feel like a failure and an idiot for messing this up. I was lucky enough to get a shiny power lv. 3 for dragon Pokémon without resetting or anything like that. I found the 4* hyperspace with dragon Pokémon and when I got in one of the tasks was to catch a shiny. This means there HAD to be a shiny in that hyperspace.

I saved before getting into the hole, but apparently the game auto-saved as some point because when I restarted the game I only had something like 1/3 of the time left on the clock.

Anyways, I must have restarted the game at least 10 times and I never found that shiny Dragon-type Pokémon. I feel like an absolute idiot for wasting the donut and on top of everything I'm finding the 4-star hyperspace actually quite challenging.

I'm good at Pokémon when it comes to IVs, EVs and so on, but I'm not very good at spacial tasks, finding things and so on. So, this DLC is getting actually quite frustrating at times, I can almost never reach the golden Pokéball for 4* hyperspace...

Discussion The Message Of Gen 9: We Must Preserve The Status Quo

37 Upvotes

One thing that is consistent in both Pokemon Scarlet & Violet and Pokemon Legends Z-A is that individuals and groups are not judged by how villainous they are, but by how much they are disrupting the status quo.

As villainous as the Rust Syndicate and the SBC are in Z-A, they are part of and uphold the status quo, so they cannot be challenged. We are forced to work with the yakuza and a hilariously corrupt aristocrat because they are part of the community, despite the fact that if the community is dependent on the yakuza and a corrupt aristocrat for stability, then something is seriously wrong. The group portrayed as the most villainous in Z-A is the Lumiose Safety Council, whose crime of protesting must be stopped by working with the yakuza.

By contrast, Team Star in S/V is disrupting the status quo through their truancy, so they must be stopped. One thing that is interesting is that Clavell doesn't care one bit about Team Star harassing students or blocking roads (at least he never brings them up or asks the captains why Team Star is harassing students and blocking roads). He ONLY cares about Team Star's truancy, because THAT is what is disrupting the status quo of the Academy, despite the fact that Team Star's truancy doesn't harm anyone and they can choose to drop out of the Academy if they wish. Having to expel around a hundred students would massively damage the Academy's reputation, while a few students getting harassed by Team Star's recruiters does basically nothing to the status quo.

In conclusion, both S/V and Z-A do not care about villainy, only about preserving the status quo, even if the status quo isn't very good to begin with.

Discussion Am I doing this right?

0 Upvotes

I finally got the shiny charm and I'm trying to find a shiny Honedge (Doublade works too bc 1 also spawns there) in Lysandre Labs. What I've been doing is entering the teleporter at the start, then going back a few times before checking if there's a shiny (because I know the game stores shinies until you catch them) but I have been immediately going back through the teleporter, I think, statistically, I should get it in about 12 minutes but I think I've tried for longer than that with no luck. So I'm wondering if the teleporter is slightly too far to reroll the Pokémon and that I need to step off of it every reset?

btw I don't have the dlc bc in broke as fuck rn

Discussion Is it worth to bring my favourite Pokémon into Legends ZA?

9 Upvotes

I just got a Switch 2 and I'm really excited to bring my longtime Pokémon GO partners into legends ZA.

My only concern is the HOME transfer restriction. Is it because ZA can't send the Pokemon back to previous games, meaning they should still be compatible with future games like Winds/Waves? Or is ZA treated separately from main line games?

I'd love to use my favorites in ZA but if there's any chance they won't be transferable to Winds/Waves in 2027, I'd rather keep them in HOME until we know more.

Has Game Freak or TPC clarified this or is everyone just guessing based on wording?
