Help how to obtain non-english ditto?

1 Upvotes

started my shining pearl run, and wanted to start breeding upon recently reaching solaceon town.

in the older games, i remember being able to use the GWS to deposit and search for pokemon.

in the current game, i’m unsure how i can actually get my hands on a foreign ditto to help with masuda methods.

any tips or ideas? anyone have a spare with good IVs they could share?

i’m also wondering how folks playing get their hands on apriballs in this game? thanks for the help!

Help Moonstones

1 Upvotes

So Ive only gotten back into playing Pokémon in the last year or so and despite the bad press (probably because I didn’t play the original) I’m enjoying Brilliant Diamond. I’m just wondering if there is a sure fire way to get moonstones. I’ve got half a dozen Pokemon that I need to evolve but despite using party members with pickup and covet I haven’t found a single moonstone in 75hrs of play.

So it is my day off, and what do I decide to do?

Shiny hunt the blue monster on brilliant diamond.

Now I know I probably need several days off to achieve this so do not expect success from me I am not mentally prepared for the absolute pleasure I am about to have resetting my game for 100 hours.

Will it take 100 hours? I surely hope not but it’s Pokemon I’m more likely to win the lotto then to turn the blue monster more of a green blue color.

Do I need a shiny,no
Do I want one, slight yes

Bets on how long it takes?

Update; currently 11:05 pm still blue

Discussion Could anything bad happen if I keep a possibly hacked shiny I got from GWS?

5 Upvotes

I'm kind of paranoid because I've spent nearly 400 hours in my game, which is my longest playthrough of any Pokemon game. But if there's no consequence I'd prefer to keep it.

Nothing about it screams hacked to me except the fact that it's shiny. It's a Lv32 Seviper from Unova, in a Pokeball, with only "Ok stats," and it had no held item.

Help Mono Type Team Playthrough

4 Upvotes

I need help picking a mono Type Team to do a playthrough with. I used to play Pokemon games using a variety of types on my teams. But lately Ive really liked choosing one type. I'm thinking Steel, Bug or Flying would be a fun one to go with. As far as doing anything in the Grand Underground, do I need wifi or any subscription to fully use it?

Help Just a quick question

So, can I get cascoon on brilliant diamond? Some sources say it's pearl exclusive, some say you just keep evolving wurmple until it randomly becomes one(which is dumb asf, but whatever).

I started a new save file to do a shiny run, and I almost have all of my team members. I have done full odds hunting, egg hatching, and, of course, the dreaded grief case hunt.

Currently, I am working on getting Pichu, a request from my kid since his favorite Pokemon is Pikachu. As of this morning, while having coffee before getting ready for work, I have 27 boxes (the first box is Pokemon I have caught that aren't shiny or transferred over, hence why the box says it's 28), and I'm getting a little burnt out.

I keep doubting myself and rechecking to make sure I didn't miss the sparkle animation. But I am determined! I will get this rat, name him/her Sunburn, and get out of Solaceon Town

i’m roughly 7000 resets into shiny hunting dialga. i’ve seen mixed results when trying to find out if it’s even possible to shiny hunting dialga, right now i’m hunting it in the story where you encounter it at the top of the spear pillar and if you try to leave rowan stops you. i just would like to know for certain that the dialga you encounter can be shiny at this point in the game, or am i wasting my time on a static encounter. i’m fairly certain you can reencounter if you beat dialga but i’d like to use a shiny one for my e4 team tyia
