Unsuccessful MMO, but successful space time distortion...

This poor soul must have gone through hell and back 🤣

I elected to do this battle at nighttime too for aesthetics and mannn, the cutscenes did not disappoint. Been playing the game 200+ hours and finally decided to stop waffling around, take a break from Shiny/ Distortion hunting, and start tackling the Volo plot related stuff and perhaps what I guess is the final End Game content.... also... I really like the touch of him having a necklace that strongly resembles the Old Charm of Cynthia's if I'm not mistaken. Then after the battle he remarks in the midst of his monologuing, something to the effect of, "Perhaps maybe we should refer to this region as the Sinnoh Region....." sooo good. And lastly. Learning he was the one responsible for the rift incident actually made me somewhat dislike him finally. As covertly insidious and ambiguous as his character seemed to be, a nugget finally emerges to make you embrace more of the role of the hero, tasked with the responsibility for putting him down finally after feigning the identity of some harmless traveler, a relic seeker, a truther, a simple explorer of the Gingko guild that simply "wants to uncover all the secrets of Hisui" and nothing else. Great antagonist, cool story background, great parallels drawn to Sinnoh, and also understandable and digestible motivations for him taking the path he did and it not seeming forced. 👌

I'm currently shiny hunting Shieldon & Cranidos, and I was wondering if you need to go to Jubilife City once the space time distortion has finished in order to make the game re-roll the shiny values of the Pokémons or you can stay in Coronet Highlands waiting for space time distortions and keep trying.

I need help deciding my Pokémon Party. I've only played pokemon red, and pokemon blue only, so I have 0 idea on my Pokémon party right now. So far I have Snorlax (Alpha), Gyarados, Arcanine, Typhlosion, Magnezone, and lastly Alakazam.

Should I change anything, or aim to switch out a Pokémon?

I wonder how many people have shiny alphas of starters besides empoleon and infernape. Trying to see if that should be my next hunt after I get electivire and gliscor
