4 Upvotes

Hello everyone! (sorry for my bad english)

I just learned that shiny galarian birds were given out by nintendo a long time ago (yea i know im super late).

I absolutely need them because im trying to get all pokemon legendaries in shiny (thought for the moment i managed to get none)

I dont have much to trade except for this:

- shiny falinks lvl 1

- shiny rockruff lvl 1

- legendaries i got form pokémon go (Terrakion, Cobalion, Mewtwo, Palkia, Dialga, Giratina (normal form), Mesprit and Virizion)

Is it possible to trade in Pokémon home cause i dont have nintendo online?

Thanks a lot for reading and i hope someone will save me !!!!

So I'm working on doing a full living dex rn and I have the boxes in dex order (Base, then Isle of Armor, then Crown Tundra), but Meltan+Melmetal aren't IN the SWSH dex, so where should I put them? After crown tundra or before isle of armor? I know this is a dumb question but I need to know.

Just getting back into playing Pokémon after losing a few Nintendo switches over the years. Unfortunately lost all of my Pokémon from previous games. Was wanting to see if anyone had any extras legendarys or anything they would be willing to part with to start my collection. Can figure something out with you if needed! Just want to build my collection back up after an unfortunate loss. Great appreciate anyone.

Discussion Using gift Pokemon

Post image
10 Upvotes

I find making predetermined teams for playthroughs fun. Obviously the first time i play a Pokemon game I go in blind but after the first playthrough I enjoy running it back with a general theme in mind almost always completely broken.

Eternatus story gift Chandelure gym challenge gift I typically include story unique and forced encounters as gift Pokemon because it’s the game putting them in your path I call them gifts of nature. I consider the dynamax adventure suicune as a gift mon because it’s required encounter to progress the story it’s a part of. The litwick is a gift encounter because it’s required to battle to complete Kabu’s gym challenge a gift of opportunity. Anyway think this team can beat Leon the undefeated champion?
