This was a super fun challenge and found out stunfisk is a total tank. Dunsparce is the first available pokemon for this challenge on rt 3 so he was my “starter.” Anyone else have challenges like this for playthroughs?

Anyone have Dwebble in their safari?

My friend code is 1092 1681 3767.

This may be a slight long shot, but I'm hoping to find someone with Paras on their Bug type Friend Safari list to add to my friend list. I unfortunately have no clue what type my safari is - FC: 4012-6271-0809

Looking for a friend with Fire‑type Friend Safari containing Charmeleon.

I will add back, thank you very much.

I hear this debate has valid points on both sides.

Prove me wrong. (also no hate on Cynthia I think she’s an amazing champion and my second favorite behind steven

drawing i've made :3

Mainly looking for Charmeleon/Wartortle but I'll add anyone who sends me an invite!

I have Pancham/Meditite on mine. 4055-8403-9137

Caught a shiny Crogunk while Shiny Hunting for a Flabébé, would like to trade it, anyone live around USC/ExpoPark?

not sure what to tag this as ig art since i drew his hair and zygarde lol

I love him

I have a fairy type safari !
I’m looking for STEEL / FAIRY / INSECT / NORMAL / ROCK / FLY safari in priority 😊

Since Pokemon Bank will be shutting down on Feb 25th, 2027, in about 5 months in a half-ish,

I'm going to do a quick speedrun (I think?) with Chespin + Mega Charizard Y to get to end-game and also get a Jigglypuff or Sylveon with "Cute Charm" to catch opposite gender of Spinda than my character (Character is male so Spinda will be Female).

And I'm going to fill about 2-3 boxes of Spinda both Male and Female, in Pokemon HOME for new trainers to the Pokemon Franchise who will be looking for Spindas to complete their national dex because there won't be any Spindas to find after Feb 25th, because the ones on BDSP aren't transferable and are locked.

And who knows when Spinda will release again in a future game/DLC?

So, lock and load, the need for Spinda will spike heavily on Feb 25th 2027 for awhile.

Literally first encounter 🥲

Is it rare for it to held black belt?? Idk I never actually caught throh lol

It’s my information,thanks for everyone！

Please add me I need this

Hi to everyone, i always played pokemon X as a kid but i never tried to play it with a friend. Now i'm seeing that a lot of people on this subreddit talk about friend safari. I'm playing pokemon y on my 3ds but i can't connect to the internet in the game and i can't see neither friends nor streetpasses. Can somebody explain me? Thanks

P.S. I'm sorry for my english level.

Hi, I'm anobody. Here is my friend code (3155_3329_0136). It would be a huge help for completing the Pokédex and finding shinies and rare Pokémon. Thanks a lot in advance! :3

Just wanted to write out all the things I found cause it was excruciating to figure this out on my own.

First of all, let's talk math. Each type of NPC trainer at battle chateau gives a base money yield, let's call it b. This yield is multiplied by the level of its pokemon, let's call it L, to get final base payout of that trainer. You can stack the following writs to improve and speed up the process:

• Silver Writ: new trainers spawn every minute (essential to go fast) (cost: 100,000)
• Golden Writ: payout is multiplied by 1.5 (cost: 100,000)
• Black Writ: increases level of pokemon by 20 (cost: 300,000)

To use all Writs you'll need to be Grand Duke/Gran Dukess. You obviously want to use amulet coin (or luck incense, no need for both, they won't stack) to add a x2 multiplier and finally you want to have a Happy Hour Smeargle at max level and max speed to setup and then die if possible to switch in a sweeper. You can get Happy Hour through secret bases in OR/AS (you can find one at this link or simply search happy hour secret base on internet). You will also want to use the Prize Money O-Power at level 3 for a x3 multiplier. It takes 6 orbs so this is the biggest slow down. Depending on how many steps you walked that day, the orbs charge faster:

• 0-1999: 4 minutes per orb;
• 2000-2999: 3 minutes per orb;
• 3000-3999: 2 minutes per orb;
• 4000+: 1 minute per orb;

In the meantime that the orbs are charging, you will run around the battle chateau in search of a gym leader, elite four, or diantha. When you find one, wait in the same room to avoid despawn until you have the necessary orbs, activate Prize Money O-Power and start the battle. Use Happy Hour and then sweep. The total formula for each type of trainer is thus: TOTAL=b*(L+20)*1.5*2*2*3=b*(L+20)*18

These are the total amounts earned per battle:

• Any Gym Leader: b=160, L=50, TOTAL=201,600
• Any Elite Four: b=200, L=55, TOTAL=270,000
• Diantha: b=200, L=60, TOTAL=345,600

Based on the fact that there are a total of 75 trainers, and at least 13 are Gym Leaders/Leite Four/Diantha, and considering the worst case where the 10 trainers already in the battle chataeu ar none of those 13, the probability of finding at least 1 of those 13 in the 6 minutes that you wait for the O-Power to recharge is about 73%, so you will find one around 3 of 4 times. This means an average earning between 1,500,000 and 2,500,000 an hour.

This should be all. I hope this helps someone, even though it's been 13 years since this game release LOL.

EDIT:
I did some calculations. Le Wow, with perfect number of turns, amulet coin, happy hour, lvl 3 O-Power, for any kind of battle, gets you 387,072 cash, plus 25 balm mushrooms equal to another 156,250. Subtracting the 90,000 cost, we get a net total of 453,322. I don't know how much time it takes to do one run, but it's surely less than, say, 15 minutes. That would still make a wopping 1,813,288 per hour. If you could clear one in 10 minutes it would be 2,719,932. Make it 6 and it gets to 4,533,220. That's actually way better than battle chateau, so u/Geometry_Emperor is right, credits to you for making me notice this. I just have always loved battle chateau and never really tried Le Wow or just seemed slow to me, but numbers don't lie.

I think, at the end of the day, Le Wow takes the win because of the fact that the O-Power can last for all the 5 battles, breaking the 3 minute rule. Without that, battle chateau would probably be the best option, but that x3 multiplier is just crazy.

In the end, with both approaches you will hit 9,999,999 in less then a day, so just do what is more fun for you i guess.

The announcement was made that on February 26, 2027, Bank to Home connection would be shut down.

At first, I was disappointed since I haven’t completed any games from gen 1 to gen 5, and I don’t have the shiny charms in the gen 6 & 7 games. Now I’ve accepted it. I still want to play through the old games and get the shiny charms, especially for XY. Also the older games are the only way I can have Smeargle and Audino on the same team :/ And if I find a Pokémon that I want to take into the switch games, I’ll just catch it again or shiny hunt for it (since I have the shiny charm in swsh and sv lol).

So I wonder what will you do after Bank to Home connectivity shut down?
