I did for an hour or two, didn't get anywhere fast. The cutscenes are a nightmare.
>Its help didn't appear!
I get this so often before one finally appears, what am I doing wrong? What are the tricks and tips?
>forgot to save before starters
fuck
>>30003901
I think you just spam Adrenaline Orbs
>cant get eggs of pokemon not from alola
>one of the Trainer Goal messages in the plaza is "I'll find shiny pokemon!
Is MM influenced by the fact you free a pokemon once it comes out of its egg?
I bred 415 Teddiursa and no one was shiny so far. With the Shiny charm the odds are to find 1 shiny every 455 eggs and I'm worried I'll surpass that number because I free every useless pokemon in the process.
>>30005001
That's not how statistics work
>>30005024
Whatever, is the method influenced by the fact I free all the pokemon that come out from the egg?
>>30005036
The method's influenced by having one foreign pokemon. Releasing breejects doesn't matter
Fuck it, may as well have a side topic.
For those that went to the midnight release, any funny/cringey stories?
>>30005057
>Releasing breejects doesn't matter
That's all I needed to know, thanks.
The first ally who came to help. Obviously stats are shit.

L+R+START
>Been on the same chain of bugs for literally 3 hours now
>Running out of pp items

>>30005281
No u
Friendly reminder to those starting the game to blow your money on like 100 pokeballs. Wouldn't want a shiny to get away now.
Was going for a shiny but just rolled a female Litten.
What do?
>>30003548
Please tell me about those new methods.
>>30005464
I've yet to try it, but from what i hear
>weakened pokemon can call allies
>allies are higher and higher rates and stats, can have HAs
>something something use an Adrenaline Orb
I think that's how it is, anyways
has the shiny rate changed at all this gen?
and how about breeding, better or worse than xy?
>>30005596
I hear it's the same rate. Males can pass pokeballs on, but only if the other parent is Ditto
>>30005626
oh wow. fuckin game changer
>>30005645
That might also apply to genderless pokemon, too. I can't see for myself since i just got the game 2 hours ago
>>30005561
So I'll transfer my False Swipe Absol over, thanks.
>>30005285
Can you not just spam adren orb? It should say something like 'adren orb already used' and end you turn. at least that's what i have read.
Anyone else going for shiny edgeTapu's?
>just want to see another pokemon
>this route has literally ONLY Wingull
I want to skin the person who made this fucking shitheap of a pokemon alive.
What's adrenaline orb
Is it overkill to have 98 Poke Balls before even entering the school?
>>30006710
Item that boosts chance of Pokémon calling an ally
Please tell me shiny Deciduye is blue so I can nickname it Big Blue
>>30007022
I think its color isgreenish blue
Yes
>>30006104
That's exactly what I've been doing. I literally burned through 50 PP berries and ran out of PP for all my moves that weren't false swipe on all 5 pokemon, all of whom had nothing but attack moves since I brought them for chaining, and the 6th slot was my synchro abra.
I killed 600+ Grubbin.
Resetting Rowlet is actually hell. One cycle takes three fucking minutes, it's like Gamefreak doesn't want you to find a shiny
>>30007328
This is the first gen in a long time where I skip the shiny starter
>>30004505
They're only once per battle
>>30003548
The guy on the right is the one who made the image and the new best friend is the guy on the left.
>>30006415
pretty sure they're shiny locked
