Oh, we're going specific! I don't really know my poffins or natures. Uuuuuumm... I'll guess… Purugly. Cats are picky creatures

incorrect purugly is a Pokemon not a poffin flavor

Oh! I'm thinking of a flavor! Uuuuuum... Spicy

incorrect also we need a least favorite flavor too

I'll guess least is sweet and favorite is… is there a mild?

Blissey is strong with sassy.

Oh really? I never use it, but I found out it can break the stats charts in HP!

Btw, no rush on the Alolan Vulpix Trade. Just lmk what you want for it since it saves me the hassle of waiting until the post-game to get one but note my options are limited to early route Pokémon at this time. Might look at what natures I rolled on my Pokemon. Also got to familiarize myself with online Trading.

I wasn't alerted of this. I saw it from randomly looking at my profile. I'm keeping up with your play through and I've responded in that. If I don't respond to something here it isn't ignoring you. I probably didn't get notified for some reason.

No biggie. I'll get you a link code sometime today or tomorrow.

Sometimes I really dislike the approval system. Anyways, set up a time(UTC) for a Link Trade. I feel like 15810775 would be a good code(via Random Number Generator). I'm on right now but can get back on another time.

Will be hopping on in the next 10 minutes or so. Link Code will be 15810775(what I got from a random number generator). Will check periodically so simply hop on in the next hour or so. Will be on from 4am UTC to roughly 5:30am UTC. Will have to grind my Vulpix up a bit because I'd like to use it against Brassius.

Now that I think about it… Alolan Vulpix is going to be really useful against Brassius and the 2nd Titan. Might even be able to solo it but we'll see if it can withstand a Rock type move. Heading off for night. Set up a time in UTC so we can do the Trade.

Currently 8:39pm UTC so I'm thinking sometime around 5am UTC I'd like to do a Link Trade. How's 15810755 for a Link code?

I am so sorry. I was asleep! I get done with school at 12 AM, probably will get on at 2-2:30 AM. All of this is UTC. I'll go to your post with this info.

My comments and what not still haven't appeared yet so I'll simply add one more thing. Another Pokemon I may consider utilizing on my inaugural run is a Pokémon that I would use every time on Black&White or Unova without fail: Excadrill. I'd really love to get a Hidden Ability or Mold Breaker because that Ability is straight up good and pretty much negates Iono's advantage 😁Excadrill is basically a better Sandslash with that Steel Typing and although the Alolan variant is Ice/Steel, I just don't like its moveset(and I prefer Alolan Ninetales by a mile).

Well im online now and I hate the comment approval system because it always takes them forever to approve mine. As for what to do, there isn't much you can do. Let's GO Eevee is the version with Vulpix(where you can trade Kanto for Alolan form. Not sure what breeding does on there). I forget if Sword/Shield has either and Scarlett has Vulpix but the Alolan variant is post-game. I could get the Kanto form though if i wanted via Kitakami but that does me no good. I'll think of something but odds are it'll be prudent for me to wait until tomorrow or another day to get one.

I don't have Eevee. My cousin does, so I might borrow it from her, get to the trade, and put it in Violet to send to you. That would take a long time, though. Sword and Shield does have them. In the Isle of Armor DLC, there's a guy that lost his Alolan Diglets around the Isle and once you find a certain amount he'll give you Alolan Pokémon. That's how I got the Ninetails I'm using. Cold Queen is her nickname. Anyways, I don't have the Scarlet DLC. Only Violet. I want to help but I think I might be useless. Except with Excadrill. I can get you a Drilbur easily.

Drilbur is available in both S + V. so that's no issue. If you're open to doing that, set up a day and time for it since I'll gladly use one instead of Toedscruel. I need a Steel type anyway for Lacey. As for Alolan Vulpix, breed one on Sword/Shield and see what you get. If it rolls Alolan, Xfer it over to Violet via HOME and then Trade it to me. If it rolls Kanto, then your other option is the Let's GO Eevee route that, as you said, will take awhile wherein you'd trade a Kanto Vulpix in-game for an Alolan one, then XFER it to Violet via HOME for the Trade to me. I plan on doing Dex Grinding sessions and evolving Pokemon left and right. I might go grab a Dawn Stone to get Gallade so I can do the first Team Star boss and 2nd Titan with it(Sacred Sword should make mincemeat of both).

Okay. I'll do that tonight around the same time as yesterday

Will be on tonight for the Trade. Got to find something for it though. Might go grab another Ralts or maybe a Scarlett exclusive(assuming you don't have them already). I did an early morning session for a Dawn Stone. Level 20 Gallade with Sacred Sword, Aqua Cutter and Night Slash. Other move is going to be Psycho Cut but I don't learn it until level 42 or far above the level of Atticus' Pokémon. I suppose I could remember Psychic as a placeholder. Going to do Giacomo after the Trade and make mincemeat of him, the 2nd Titan and might even do Mela with Golduck as a backup. Gallade can roll Geeta himself too btw. 105 Power Night Slash(with 50% Crit thanks to Scope Lens). Avalugg may have insane Defense but I think 202 Power Sacred Sword should be more than enough.

I have Scarlet but only Violet DLC. You can still give me one, though. I probably don't have it since I didn't focus in the PokéDex. I'll probably only be able to do Drilbur tonight. I will be trying with Alolan Vulpix in Sword, but since we're unsure I don't want to make any promises.

Heh you got both Gen 9 games? Smart to get the DLC for one though but it also means you won't have the DLC Pokémon that are exclusive to Scarlett. I caught a 2nd Rockruff during my early morning session. Figured you could get both Midday and Midnight forms. I'll be online ~90 minutes in-game.

I'll try to make it in time for you. Not sure I will, though. Even if we don't trade tonight, I'll get you what you need (and try on terms of the Ice type). I usually get both copies. Sword and Shield. Scarlet and Violet. Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. It drives me crazy that I only have Let's Go Pikachu. I won't complain though. I'm thankful that I have them in general. I only get the DLC to one, though. I choose my favorite of the two I play. I got Sword's and Violet. Anyways, got off topic. See you either tonight or tomorrow. Also, do you want a Riolu? I have over 90. Tried Shiny hunting via eggs. Didn't go well. Still don't have it. It's level one, but if you want it higher I can level it a bit. I can also change its Terra type. Same goes for the other two Pokémon (well, Drilbur won't be one).

I'M NOT TRYING TO PUSH LUCARIO ON YOU!!! In the past you mentioned needing Soothe Bell to evolve it, but if you get it through trade it will become friends with you quicker, meaning you don't need the Bell. Also, I think Riolus are rare (I could be wrong)

I'll take a Riolu if you want to trade one. Level 1 is fine because I don't intend to use one(got Gallade already). I got a Soothe Bell all set for it as the last Baby Pokémon I have in Pichu just evolved into Pikachu(which promptly became a Raichu from the free Thunderstone). I just have to find another suitable catch. Btw, that Rockruff has Own Tempo so.. Dusk form anyone?

Dusk form is available in this? Never knew that!

Yeah Own Tempo Rockruff on S/V is a 1% Spawn chance. You can check for it by using Confuse Ray on it. If it fails, it should show its Ability as to why. Anyways, I MIGHT be a tad late(10-15 minutes) due to going to Religious services. I should be online by 2:30am UTC though. Hopefully this gets posted BEFORE then but I won't hold my breath.

Online right now

I'm sorry to ask this, but can I just give you a Drilbur and you find a way to get its Hidden Ability? I'm tired of making you wait. Did you know your Pokémon can not line each other, leading to them not making eggs? I didn't. It's like they specifically chose now to reveal this because I actually need it. I can keep working on it, but I don't want to hold you up when you could be enjoying the game. I'm very sorry and I've been trying to get it. I'll keep trying if you want. Tell me what you want to do.

Getting mildly annoyed with this approval system… Hopefully my last two comments come within a reasonable timeframe. TLDR: Take your time on the Trade. Seriously no rush as I got plenty of other things to do.

No rush my good sir. Take the time you need as I got Skywalker Saga to keep me company and I got HOURS of that left. I only just 100% Episode 1 but that's just with respect to the 5 Missions. The actual Galaxy has tons of Exploration to do, be it in Space or at various places on certain Planets that have loads of puzzles, side missions and mini-game challenges. When I do Scarlett, I can always work on Dex completion and I got a massive backlog on that front. Speaking of which, I'll eventually have to trade for Violet exclusives as I'll have no other way to get them otherwise. That and all the Trade Evolutions like Scyther → Scizor or Slowpoke → Slowking(forget if I have to do that for Galarian variant.. will find out when I get there). Oh and I'll eventually need to trade for Sprigs and Quaxly. I have to find Ditto to breed Fuecoco as my starter is Male so yeah...

As for Breeding partners not liking one another is news to me. All I remember is that they have to be compatible with respect to Egg Group. Namely two of the same species will always work but in Alolan Vulpix's case, any Pokémon that belongs in the Field Group can generate an Egg with a Female Alolan Vulpix(that and Ditto of course).

As for Hidden Ability on Drillbur, I suppose I can get it via Academy Ace Tournament in the post-game. It's not like Iono can't be beat with non-Ground moves like Slash but the whole perk of having Mold Breaker in the first place is to deal with her Ace. It's what makes Tinkaton pretty darn good besides its Steel/Fairy typing. The only downside is that Tinkatuff/Tinkatink cannot learn Bulldoze, only its final form Tinkaton can, and you don't get Tinkaton until level 38 or way above Iono's Pokémon. That's why I'd prefer Hidden Ability and is why I emphasize that there is no rush because I have so much to do with respect to Dex completion that I can afford to postpone the Gym path while I work on it. My Fire Croc is well above Brassius anyway so like Golduck was against Mela, he will be purely there as insurance. My intent is to battle Brassius with Alolan Vulpix because Ice beats Grass but also because I want Alolan Vulpix for Iono's fight too because she has Wattrel and like all Electric/Flying types, they're incredibly annoying. My Vulpix is also my go-to pick for Kofu because I'll go and find an Ice Stone by then to get Freeze Dry early and use it to sweep his Water Types. Alternatively… I can always have Gallade "remember" Leaf Blade and dice him to pieces(which is why Gallade is so darn good with Sharpness).

Okay. I just didn't want to be holding you up. Now, about the starters. I, for sure, can get you all three in almost no time. The Ace Tournament is the "post game event" I was telling you about. The easiest way for me to get the Patch is Sword Max Dens. I'll have to beat up a bunch of Legendaries, collect Ores until I have 200, and buy a Patch with it. I don't remember how many Ores I get per Raid, though. I'm using a Ditto with my Alolan Ninetails. Apparently they aren't very fond of each other, so they have given me no eggs. I'm gonna use a different Ditto and hope that one works. As for "Violet Exculsives" I know I can get you those. Give me a list of what they are and I'll prepare them for trade.

Violet exclusives, in no particular order: Sandshrew(Alolan), Paldean Tauros(Aqua Breed), Aipom, Misdreavus, Gulpin, Bagon, Shieldon, Clauncher, Passimian, Morpeko, Dreepy, Eiscue, Ceruledge(hence I'll need the item.. I'll trade you a Charcadet with the item for Armarouge), Iron Treads, Iron Bundle, Iron Hands, Iron Jugulis, Iron Moth, Iron Thorns, Iron Valiant, Miraidon, Iron Leaves, Iron Boulder and Iron Crown. Their Scarlett counterparts are Vulpix(Alolan), Paldean Tauros(Blaze Breed), Gligar, Larvitar, Cranidos, Drifloon, Stunky, Deino, Skrelp, Oranguru, Cramorant, Stonjourner, Armarouge, Great Tusk, Scream Tail, Brute Bonnet, Flutter Mane, Slither Wing, Sandy Shocks, Roaring Moon, Koraidon, Walking Wake, Gouging Fire and Raging Bolt. All but the Tauros I'll have to Trade for.

As for Breeding, do what you can. I went on a catching run last night and caught my 4th Team member finally in Stunky. I also caught Slakoth via the Tree. Was stoked when it fell as that meant I didn't have to breed one. Caught Goomy, Shroomish, Croagunk, Seviper, Zangoose, Shellder, Bruxish and Luvdisc as well. Finneon is on the other coastline so will have to wait. I might go into the Mountains to hunt for an Ice Stone. That way I'll have one ready for Alolan Vulpix when the time comes. If I evolve it right away, I could probably sweep Brassius easily due to its speed and having access to Blizzard with 100% accuracy.

Wish it told me you responded!

I have Armarouge, but thank you! I'll see how much I can find and catch (or hopefully I already have)

Chugging my way through Episode 2 on Skywalker Saga. First 2 Story Missions at 100% and am scouring Geonosis for Kyber Bricks(aka exploring and solving various puzzles for them). I wouldn't be able to do as many of the Puzzles if I didn't have the DLC I got along with the game for $20. I got so many characters from them that I have at least one for nearly every Class. Only Class that took a bit of effort was Protocol Droid since 3PO didn't come until Episode 2 so I had to unlock and buy C-14 in Episode 1. Took me a bit to find the Geonosis Datacard or this game's equivalent of a Red Brick if you played the old Lego games. Got enough of them to unlock all Stud Multipliers when I gather the needed Studs. The cost of each Stud Multiplier scales with each preceding Multiplier taken into account. Hence x2 is 1kk, x4 is 2kk, x6 is 8kk, x8 is 48kk and x10 is 384kk. Meaning to unlock all Stud Multipliers, you have to scrape together 5kk Studs at base value, which is no easy task! I have the first 3 down and I'm roughly half way to x8. Yet once I get those Multipliers, it makes buying upgrades, starships and characters insanely cheap because 1 silver stud(normally worth 10) is worth 38,400. Gold, Blue and Purple are all x10 increments of that. So when something costs 1kk Studs, it's really 1kk/3840 or insanely cheap. Limiting factor going forward after the Stud Multipliers are accounted for will be Kyber Bricks or what you get from solving Puzzles on the various planets. Been getting by with the bare bones and it hasn't hurt me all that much and I love the Stud Multipliers because it makes getting True Jedi on Missions sooo much easier. I'll get back to doing more Scarlett grinding later tonight or sometime tomorrow. Take all the time you need with respect to the Trade since there is no rush.

I figure that we ought try to do the Trades on Saturday around the same time or 2:30am UTC. I have Religious Services at 1am UTC that last about an Hour so I’d run a bit late if we did 2am UTC. Keep in mind the next Pokémon D&D session is earlier in the day or 6-8pm UTC. Seeing as it’s Monday, that will give you ample time to do what you need to do since I know Ability patches are a rare item and that Alolan Vulpix can be a pain without Scarlett DLC. If you had Blueberry on Scarlett, they appear in the Polar Biome just like Alolan Sandshrew does for Violet players.

Did my program work correctly?

It might be a while before I get to try it. Sorry. Hopefully @fineasmatei will get to tell you soon.

It's ok!

Hey there again, I have updated my generator so that it can support Black Bolt and White Flare expansions (with parallel sets support). If you want to test it now, I can show you.

That would be fun! I wonder if @fineasmatei has seen these yet

@Hades0918 I just saw it now it works exacty as expected!

@Pokémon342548 it would be very cool if you could add images instead of text for the card but I know that is not possible in python. Good job!

I'm having a problem with the generator now: Because Black Bolt and White Flare have *much* more illustration rare cards than usual, my program can go wrong as it pulls more illustration rare cards than usual. If you know how to resolve it, I'll appreciate it.

The bugs listed in the source code has been fixed in the next build, build 14 (Release Candidate). Do you want to test the newer build now?

Yeah. I can try that one. Just to make sure I was clear on your post, I don't know how to code. I won't be able to fix anything. Is that still ok?

It's OK, except the fact that… not all cards from Phantasmal Flames are confirmed now.

That's fine!

How do I use this?

This program can generate and open (virtual) packs even if you are offline (although you must be online to add cards to your collection). This is useful if you want to make a virtual collection (as you can't build your real collection), or more simply, trying the feelings and luck for opening a pack.

Who flagged this? Who?!

I don't know! I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't said something. Honestly, there's somebody that has gone through and flagged some of my stuff, even on my page. You might have just got flagged for being here.

Hey there again, my final booster pack generator (for Phantasmal Flames) is 99% ready now. Do you want to check it out? If you do, I'll share my program with the "readme" file attached for you.

Go ahead!

I'm sorry, but I couldn't get the source code or the program itself here, as they have not been approved yet.

You're fine! There isn't a rush

@Pokémon342548 how do I use this program?

You must have Python 3.1x (3.10 as oldest) on your device, then run the generator within Python and always follow the instructions on the screen.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but the generator above has been deleted as I have a better version of it.

No problem! When can I expect the new one?

The program is ready for the newest expansion, and you will see it right after approval. So stay tuned!

i need to know cause your character is the one most close to being completed

None of them really match my character… I'll go with glassblower's tools. I'm a Fire type, so that should work somewhat. Plus, I can sell what I make to go into my character's gambling side

you don’t have them but you are proficient in them

Nope. Wish I did. Why?

because you said you had like 4 friend requests you didnt respond to so I thought you did.

They are from random people I've played Demon Slayer and My Hero Ultra Rumble with. Don't know why they send them and I accept very few of them.

that’s weird what happened to some of my words

where it has âxx that is supposed to be an apostrophe

I'm looking forward to it! Tag me when you're ready!

@UnovanZorua It might just be my phone, but it's not working

If I dont click on @UnovanZorua one time it says

https://community.pokemon.com/en-us/profile/83838/Hades0918

and if I click it it says

https://community.pokemon.com/en-us/profile/83838/Hades0918?expandedToggles=toggle-6908c87384717 with that added

?expandedToggles=toggle-6908c87384717

But it doesnt do any thing.

On the > thing.

I wonder if they meant for it to do that or if there is an error

I tried using the toggle feature to see if my apostrophes would turn into weird symbols like Clasingla's, but it looks like everything else broke instead.

Yes @UnovanZorua I put the title "Test" and I put inside "Is this working" and it did that.

Yeah it's not functioning properly

I'm still waiting for this quiz!

I completely forgot I challenged you don’t think I have much free time so I forfeit you win

Well... I knew I would win but I didn't realize it would be before it even started! Hey, do you mind if I steal this idea start a quiz, actually? I'll make a post either daily or weekly and it will be a Pokémon question and the people on the comments must answer.

I think someone did this before can’t quite remember if it was @NoahLaprasForum @TURTLEEEEEE or @Candy0_o or someone else completely

Do you think it would be fine if I did it, though?

I think so

Really? I didn't know that! How many more points?

Level 5 is at 1000 points

52 points away! Let's go

1 point!

I DID IT!!

Congrats!

Thank you!

I'll keep my eye out!

I know! I play occasionally and haven't played yet, but it still makes me happy!

Let's go! I'm hoping for Lucario, Garchomp, Charizard (X), Greninja, Feraligatr (only because it'll be my starter), and Hawlucha.

I just preorder it yesterday and then I changed my time zone to the one farthest away from mine so now I can play it 13 hours ahead of everybody in America.

Don't give me spoilers, but tell me how it is! I probably won't be able to play until 7 or 8 pm the day it comes out, so I'll be late no matter what.

If you change the time zone you should be able to play it at 11am on the 15th so you could play it at 7 or 8 pm on the 15th.

I just searched pokemon legends Z-A then I saw the release times and it said PDT time to get it at 9 pm on Wensday.

Nice!

I saw this in Unovan Zorua's discussion. I do want to ask, though, if I change my time zone, play the game the 15th, then put my time zone back to normal on the 16th, will all my progress still be there?

It should.

I dont know, it should be there because it is save data.

It should. I dont know. It might.

We'll find out together, won't we!

Also @MonstaDash said "No, your console's region determines when you get the game." so IDK.

It says it 3 times because it didnt aprove.

We'll just find out when it happens, then!

If it is based off your console's natural regional, I'll be getting it 11 PM tonight, but I'll be in bed by then so I'll still have to wait until tomorrow.

Aperently you cant just change your reigon or your time zone on your switch you have to make a whole new email in New Zeraland region and then make a New Zeraland nintendo acount sadly.

This was yesterday it didint aprove.

That's fine! I don't mind waiting for tomorrow!
