Why did they make Shed Shell nearly impossible to get legitimately in SM?
>only 5% chance of appearing on wild Goomy/Sliggoo
>which is a weather summon so pretty hard to find in the first place
>Compoundeyes doesn't work with pokemon summoned via SOS (I've tried)
>pretty sure Goomy and Sliggoo can't summon any other of their species? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong
What the fuck was the thought process behind all of this, at least with other wild held exclusive items you can rig the odds in your favor with CE/SOS chains

Just inject it lol

They didn't have enough time to do proper item placement. S&M were rushed to hell and back.

I'm still trying to find it too ;_____;>

Pretty sure it does. I swiped 4 razor claws or whatever Sneasel needs to evolve today in one short chain leading with a compoundeyes Butterfree.
Either way, putting a 5% chance item on a 5% or less chance Pokemon is fucking retarded.

It's niche but it's not not unheard of in competitive. Toxapex doesn't like being trapped by Dugtrio so Shed Shell is an option, albeit an uncommon one
>>31419994
I can't prove it but I swear whenever I tried to chain for an item it took me forever, whereas when I tried to use Thief on the first turn it always took me about 3-4 tries
Just inject it lol

>remove razor claw and razor fang from the battle facilities' shops and the overworld
>limit them to a 5% chance on a pokemon with a 5% of appearing
It's like they almost WANT us to inject. This is one of the many reasons why I don't like SM.

Eh.
>>31419958
>Compoundeyes doesn't work
It does. All out of battle abilities will only take effect if the pokemon is in the lead spot. Even in battle. You can't just have a k'o'd level 10 buterfree in your pt anymore. It has to be alive and in battle for its ability to work.

It's always one step forward, two steps backwards with Pokemon.
>It's like they almost WANT us to inject.
After seven generations I've stopped caring, so I do just that.
>>31419978
Sun & Moon made me an injectfag.
>>31420379
We need new devs.

Wait, so say I encounter a Pokemon while my lead has Synchronize and has fainted. Will it still work, or does that rule you mentioned only apply to SOS battles?
