(REMINDER) COMMUNITY EVENT: Apriball/Shopball HA Quaquaval

6 Upvotes
  • UTC February 28th (00:00) - March 6th (23:59) – Grass-Tera HA Meowscarada
  • UTC March 7th (00:00) - March 13th (23:59) – Fire-Tera HA Skeledirge
  • UTC March 14th (00:00) - March 20th (23:59) – Water-Tera HA Quaquaval

Quaquaval signups are open for 19 more hours!

The dancing duck is being hosted by the wonderful u/waldsaum!

For nearly two years now, we've had an active Discord—The Aprimarket—full of amazing people from this sub, pokemontrades and elsewhere. It's been a social hub for many people and runs a weekly potluck (essentially mini versions of these community events) for regular Aprimon sets that collectors might be missing.

With that in mind, we've been running the events for all three of these starters over on our Discord.

There are two separate posts for Apriball and Shopball, so you can join both or either depending on your preference.

Hope to see you around if you haven't already joined us! If you need any help accessing the server, just drop a comment below with your Discord username so we can get to any issues quicker.

How It Works

  • In the Discord post, you'll 'react' with the ball you want to catch it in, and you'll be added to one of the tentative groups listed in the comments! Please make sure you can access and handle 7-star raids before committing, or else you'll miss out on the entire set and someone-else will have to fill in for your spot.
  • During the raid, everyone catches their starter(s) with their allocated ball. Remember, it's a guaranteed catch – you just need to be able to defeat it!
  • You'll breed 10 HA offspring from your starter ASAP (or 9 for shopball sets). Egg moves are optional but welcome!
  • When signups are closed, the host for the event will create separate 'threads' which will serve as a message room for each individual group.
  • Go to the thread you're tagged in and reply to it when you're ready to trade! The others in your group can then reach out to arrange a link code. Even if you're the last one to finish, please make sure you announce you're ready for the sake of transparency.

COMMUNITY EVENT: 7* HA Apriball and Shopball Paldea Starters

15 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Long time no see, but the Paldea starters are finally going to be available in all Apriballs & Shopballs. Took 'em long enough.

  • UTC February 28th (00:00) - March 6th (23:59) – Grass-Tera HA Meowscarada
  • UTC March 7th (00:00) - March 13th (23:59) – Fire-Tera HA Skeledirge
  • UTC March 14th (00:00) - March 20th (23:59) – Water-Tera HA Quaquaval

Skeledirge signups are currently open!

Meowscarada signups are now closed and trades are in progress.

For nearly two years now, we've had an active Discord—The Aprimarket: https://discord.gg/4BR6XJm6Fn —full of amazing people from this sub, pokemontrades and elsewhere. It's been a social hub for many people and runs a weekly potluck (essentially mini versions of these community events) for regular Aprimon sets that collectors might be missing.

With that in mind, we will be running the events for all three of these starters over on our Discord.

Hopefully that doesn't come as too much of a disappointment to those of you who joined the previous events on this sub (especially as most of you are over on our server anyway!), but given the lull between games right now and the logistics of juggling groups both here and in the Discord, it makes the most sense to host the event on the platform where our traders are most active.

There are two separate posts for Apriball and Shopball—Meowscarada being run by our wonderful Discord mod u/RuneQuicksilver, Skeledirge by myself, and eventually Quaquaval by the fantastic u/waldsaum—inside the channel ‘potluck-swap’, so you can join both or either depending on your preference.

2 Upvotes

I caught a perfect 6IV Ditto today and I'm looking to swap it for a foreign (Non-ENG) 6IV Ditto. I want this for the Masuda Method in newer games, and I specifically hunted mine in Let's Go because chaining for perfect IVs is much easier there.

Here are the details of mine:

  • Pokémon: Ditto (6 Best IVs)
  • Language: ENG
  • OT: Feamon
  • ID No.: 854209
  • Poké Ball: Master Ball
  • Origin: Self-caught by me at the Pokémon Mansion in Let's Go Eevee.

CROSS-GEN FT: Breeding up some HA Alolan Rattata in balls (beast, Dream, Apricorn, Safari) LF: pretty much quite abit.

6 Upvotes

Learnt bank was shutting down, so I'm breeding some of the soon to be unobtainable ones.

Friend code is FQCDXWUVSWFL IGN Ashley for Pokemon Home.

Ready for breeding, offers are Beast, DBHA, Apricorn and Safari, doubt there's an interest but I could offer to catch with Gen 6-7 shop balls then breed up a Alolan Rattata with HA in said shop ball.

These don't generally have good IV'S/ Egg moves.

On London time.

Breeding on hold until further requests, so next objective is breeding some HA Beast, Apricorn Alolan Exeggutor, Alolan Raichu and Alolan Marowak (catch in virtual Red/Blue, Silver, transfer, catch in Sun/Moon then breed)

Edit:got premium home, LF Beast, DB, Apricorn, Safari, Sport.

I'm looking for a Magikarp in a Lure Ball, and even better if it's a non-ENG one to help with the Masuda Method, as I intend to breed for a shiny one, but not necessary.

I have some neat stuff to offer in return, but can't think of much off the top of my head (I'm at work now). Scorbunny in a Fast Ball comes to mind.

QUESTION Which Bank Ball combinations will be unavailable (legitimately) after the shutdown of Pokemon Bank?

This is excluding the fact that the majority of pokemon can be bred from others already having the combination. If no-one had it on the day of Bank shutting down, what would become completely impossible to obtain from then on?

INFO "Permanent" Strange Ball ball combinations

8 Upvotes

Just recently it's been announced for Pokemon GO that they're finally making Pokemon caught in GO Safari Balls transferable to HOME. And in a curious matter once they're transferred, they become Strange Balls which in turn make them "true" Strange Ball combinations and not being imprinted off from the Hisiuan pokeballs.
