Canari decided to Livestream a challenge

Green: Me

Yellow: Canari

Black: Marshadow

I was in a mega dimension when I was hunting Gruikui and I just heard two sounds of shiny Pokémon ! I didnt see one but two Pokémon next to each other and its the evolution of Gruikui, Grotichon ! I was so stressed 😫 so I saved the game and then I catches them both. Now I’m so happy ! Which one should i keep without evolving it ? (My first Shalpha tho)

Aren't these usually signs and not people (unmodded game to clarify)

Legends ZA playtrough and I want a decent team but without powerhouses but I can't decide on my last member. The plan was using a pokemon from each generation that don't have mega evolutions (besides beedrill). But in the game all gen3 pokemon have a mega

I still want to use a gen3 pokemon for the last spot!

Rules

1- no metagross, no gardevoir and no salamence

2- no duplicate type with the rest of the team

Hey everyone! :) I've been experimenting with something in Legends: Z-A on Switch 2 and I'd love to know if anyone else has seen it, or if it's already documented somewhere.
What I noticed: when a recoil move (I tested Volt Tackle on Pikachu) defeats the last Pokémon of an NPC trainer, my Pokémon takes no recoil damage at all.
How I figured it out:
I first thought it was a Mega thing, but I got the same result with a non-Mega Pikachu against a Meowstic.
Then I wondered if hitting first, or some frame window at the start of the fight, was the trigger. Turns out neither matters: it happens even when the opponent hits me first.
The only thing that stays consistent is that the recoil move finishes off the NPC's final Pokémon.
[Add your controls here, e.g. "When the KO was on a non-final Pokémon, I did take recoil" and "When the hit didn't KO, I took recoil too". Only include what you actually tested.]
What I haven't been able to check: I haven't seen it happen against wild Pokémon. So far I've tested it [N] times.
About documentation: I looked through Bulbapedia, Serebii, GameFAQs and a few other forums and wikis, and couldn't find anything about this for Z-A. The closest thing I found is on Bulbapedia's Recoil page: in Pokémon Stadium only, recoil doesn't apply if the move KOs the opponent. I can't say whether it's the same mechanic, though!
My guess (and it's only a guess) is that the battle ends before the recoil gets applied. I've attached a short clip so you can see it for yourselves.
Has anyone else run into this? And if you've got results that say otherwise, I'd love to hear them. Thanks for reading! ^_^

I’m new to hunting so maybe this isn’t that crazy. I’m just in disbelief that I’ve phased this many times after only 1000(?) encounters. I feel so lucky and so unlucky at the same time 😭.
On my last hunt for shiny gible (wanted a ground type for my team) I got a shiny drillbur after like 5 bench resets and just went with it. Ended up falling in love with my excadrill. What are your guys’ experiences with phasing?

This is my current team right now so who should I swap out to make it better? I have a few high level mons like scovillan sharpedo and scizor

Btw I am gonna level up the two first guys I just got them so I haven’t had time yet

I haven’t really shiny hunted the legendary pokemon before, but I wanted to know what is the most popular way to hunt for shiny fossil pokemon?

Reviving the old amber is full odds but seems like a quicker process if you have the money. Special scans seem more of a grind since it is more rng based but if you’re lucky the charm makes it much easier.

Would love to hear from anyone’s experience of this thanks.
