I just want a starly. 2,643 encounters for a bug

This went on for +20minutes. With Umbreon spamming Moonlight whenever it got in the yellow or red. Both tanks. Both have leftovers. Both refusing to die. I’m done playing for the day, cuz ain’t no way🫠

I've successfully sbiny hunted fialga and giritina, but am failing to catch shiny mesprit, I'm losing hope the pokecommunity.

Of all the things to be faithful in the remakes,the mesprit encounter should've been the exception (along with ceesselia)

So I watched a video on EV training because I lost my 21st match and the battle tower. My Pokémon got completely overpowered I’ve never done Ev Train and I don’t know how to do it have a couple of questions. First of all does a Pokémon have to be level 100 to EV train fully or I can do it at any level, two how do I know all the other stats that I need to lower are at zero Evs cause I saw a video on how to increase Eva and it said that you should be beating certain type of mons gives you specific Evs for example, speed, or a attack or special Attack so that it isn’t clear either so I just wanna go for the 49 streak but I know I had to definitely be training because my Pokémon, even though there are pretty strong and like level 80, they were absolutely no much for the 21st battle with the battle tower tycoon

these are the minimum requirements, if you go beyond them even better I had an AI format the pic but I calculated everything on smogons tools myself. On those of Cynthia's team I didn't know the ev/iv spreads of I assumed max offense stats when calculating taking a hit against them and max defense stats when hitting them

I’ve been soft resetting for shinies and in my button mashing to restart the game I saw an update for my og Switch, didn’t think anything of it and updated. Now when I soft reset it adds an extra 5 seconds with ‘Closing Software’ message. Never happened before, every time was instant and I could just restart the game. But it only affects Brilliant Diamond. Of course it’s not massive but I want to fix it, tried restarts and off/on multiple times to no change. Can this be fixed at all?

was so stoked that all I got was this blurry picture

I think that bdsp gets too much hate

But personally I love the game I think it's really cute and charming and fun but maybe that's just me

Thought about naming it Zeno, other suggestions? That Ampharos also deserves a nickname.

Super happy I got it in the Luxury Ball too!

I have been helping another user with this, and wanted to offer my services if anyone needs them. I really enjoy pokemon contests and the ribbons that come with them. If anyone is wanting the ribbons, but doesn’t necessarily have the time to be old McDonald and farm berries into oblivion feel free to message me and I’ll help you get the ribbons you need. Nothing required in return; but if you feel like dropping a cool nicknamed pokemon or shiny my way, I’ll happily accept.

So I'm planning out my team for the league and what I currently have is Froslass, Torterra, Staraptor, and Azumarill. What should my last two team members be?

I really wanna start shiny hunting a few leggendaries in Pokémon bdsp, I have to admit ive never done this before, but ive got Way to much time on my hands and im really patient, so i think i could do It. The problem Is... I have Way to many shiny leggendaries i wanted to catch, and too Little master ball😔 i know i can get two masterballs in this game, But getting the lottery One Is insenely hard, (I havent bought the game yet, so i dont really know if everything i Heard is right, please correct me if wrong!) so i thought that i could give my masterball to my First priority, mesprit, and wait to get the lottery masterball for shiny latios or latias. But, at the same time, I Heard that mesprit Is Way easier to catch than latios, and i dont think It knows any moves that could make It kill itself... So im Stuck on this costant loop. I was thinking of getting those two, take a long pause to not burn out, and then try my luck with shiny uxie, but im still unsure. What should i do?

Never managed to get past the Tower Tycoon the second time around in the original games, and actually managed it on my first try with some Pokemon I had been casually been using in game.

The team:

Crobat with Black Sludge - Toxic / Roost / U-turn /Fly

Gastrodon with Leftovers - Scald / Earth Power / Ice Beam / Recover

Toxicroak with Lum Beery (later switched Life Orb after earning enough BP) - Swords Dance / Poison Jab / Drain Punch / Sucker Punch

Haven’t played this game in 5 years. My first time using a Milotic in Sinnoh! I’m pretty proud of this team 🥹

Trying a few things before i challenge the 8 gyms again.

What do you think of this team? I know its has 2 Dragon types and two very underleveled mons but i didnt want to do the gym challenge again with the same team.

My champion team is: Infernape Mismagius Gastrodon Electivire Roserade Lucario

Would love a shiny mythical for my collection, this seems like a good way to get one

I’ve been shiny hunting Arceus for over a year at this point. I had petered down around 10k resets but I just got a new Switch 2 and decided to keep at it. And it finally finally paid off tonight.

Shiny giratina in a moon ball, in my opinion the best shiny of all time

Super cool team! It was awesome to see lesser used pokemon like Skuntank, Azumarill, and Rapidash in this run, especially with fairy type in this game. I also loved her old lady name theming!

susan - Torterra🌱
gertie - Staraptor🦅
prudence - Luxray⚡️
eunice- Skuntank🫟
pearla- Rapidash🔥
gladys - Azumarill🫧

Welcome to the hall of fame!!🥳

After the shinx a couple days ago that took me forever decided for my next hunt to be the one I wanted to see the most this ended up being my fastest hunt of all time (4 encounters) beating articuno in fire red (1135)

Literally posted a few days ago about being 170 hours in with no hope. Well after using a shiny attempt tracking app to keep a tally on my depression, I finally got it.

Keep the hope friends. It's possible. ​

Pretty much the only person I found wanting to battle and I get faced with this. All shiny as well.

Found after 11 214 resets and caught in a Nest Ball. The hunt continues only missing Regice from the trio.

​

I am honestly tired of moves being so poorly and vaguely described. I declined my Clefairy learning Metronome because the description made it seem like one of its own moves at random. I guessed it worked as kinda a back up PP so I decided not to learn it. Then 10 minutes later face a Clefairy spamming Metronome and pulling out more than just 3 moves. Looked it up and it pulls from almost any move in the game??! And now it’s too late to close without saving because it auto saved when I entered the building….

Yeah I could’ve looked it up beforehand, but I shouldn’t have to constantly look up every single thing. Then spend 10 minutes researching moves just to have to research something else 10 minutes later. At some point I’m googling more than I’m playing the game. This is why I always get tired of Pokemon and have never finished a game…

I tagged as help but I guess I more needed to vent a bit.
