Pokemon City

Probably the best Gym music in any Pokemon game.

Someone with Pokemon Shield wanna help fill out the pokedex together?
I'm at 280 caught and 350 seen. Missing some from Shield exclusive only. Also I can breed Sobble if thats how you spell it, the water type starter in need of other 2.

Not in the slightest Galar Rapidash gets some very good physical moves to go with that base 100 attack.

Megahorn, Play Rough, Wild Charge, Drill Run, High Horsepower, Zen Headbutt, Psycho Cut, Throat Chop and Swords Dance. Most of the above are pretty easy to get from the raids too.

Edit: Edited out some of the normal Rapidash ones that I missed. The moves that it gets provide it with decent damage moves for all 3 of its weaknesses. Drill Run and High Horsepower for steel, The same two and Psycho Cut for poison and Throat Chop for Ghost.

Personally id run an Adamant or Jolly Nature with Band and go with Drill Run, Play Rough, Psycho Cut and Throat Chop/Megahorn. Throat Chop will also make Toxtricity pretty much useless and in danger of a Drill Run. If you want Leftovers instead of band you could drop out Psycho Cut in favor of Swords Dance.

Edit2: With such a lackluster Spa stat Rapidash just doesnt hold a candle to say Gardevoir which has 25 less base speed but has 55 more base Spa as well as having better special moves.

Let's be honest here.

Almost all Pokemon games lately have been "Easy mode, please hold my hand while I make no effort to beat the storyline and still win for doing next to nothing". Even B2/W2 Hard mode is easy.

Which is why Nuzlock is very popular. It at least gives you an option of a harder "easy mode" Pokemon game.

i doubt he's playing competitive, so i didn't look at all the TR moves very closely

Wtf, the final battle is

yeah not competitive, mostly progression.
benched the Rapidash real fast. didnt fit my current team comp and was getting wrecked ez.

Boom!
I grinded hard as ***, but finally got myself the Shiny charm!!

Now that my pokedex grind is over, time for competitive building.
What are some thoughts on these 6 pokemon for a Competitive team. Mostly for singles or doubles.

Duraludon (SPA+/Speed-) w/ 252 SPA/ 252 DEF/ 4 SPD

Polteageist (SPA+/Attack-) w/ 252 SPA/ 252 SPD/ 4 HP

Dragapult (Speed+/SPD-) w/ 252 Speed/ 252 Attack / 4 DEF

Falinks (SPD+/SPA-) w/ 252 DEF/ 252 Attack/ 4 Speed

Toxapex (SPD+/SPA-) w/ 252 DEF/ 252 SPD/ 4 HP

I'm still unsure of a 6th pokemon which could be used.
I'm going to be farming a 5/6 IV Ditto to make all of these at least 5 IVs

I'd suggest switching out some of your double typings you have 2 Ghost and 2 Dragons over 3 pokemon. A Grimmsnarl could probably wipe your full team bar Toxapex. I'd pick between one of the dragon types and then swap out Polteageist if you pick Dragapult.

Off the top of my head Grimmsnarl, Centiskorch, Togekiss, Tyranitar and Toxtricity would be decent choices to use as swaps or a 6th depending on what pokemon you change up. Dropping out Toxapex for Ferrothorn and Falinks for Toxacroak would also work while adding a more offensive water type like that new fish one.

Aren't they all in there, just some of them aren't able to be caught/seen?

I saw some hacked Sw/Sh videos showing that the dats for all of the Pokemon, including Alohan forms. I mean, it's possible those vids are fake, but I'm just saying.

I'm done toooo! The people on Twitter were so generous with my last few. I can help with the egg'ables if people are missing a few in their dex.

Anyone have a non USA 5 or 6 IV Ditto available for trade? I'm having horrible luck finding Ditto with anything more than 4 IVs via Raids, even 5* ones.

I'll send an Adamant or Jolly (I have one of each, breeding now) Scorbunny in return.

2 shineys so far
-Oranguru , got while catching Ponitas
-Ditto from a raid, 4IVs with HA

managed to catch a 6IV Ditto (not perfect) from a raid as well.
gonna start making eggs, starting with Farfetch'd

Always the way! I got a shiny Meowth recently shiny chaining Milcery's.

I managed to bump into this guy in the Wild Area, but nothing else so far. I managed to get a hold of a foreign 6V Ditto so I'm hoping I end up breeding a few.

Anyone able to trade me grookey and sobble, the grass and water starter? I'm at the beginning but would be truly grateful.

I can help. Send me your Friend Code via PM and I'll breed you up some halfway decent starters.

I have Jolly Scorbunny, Adamant Grookey, and Timid Sobble.

Can anyone help i'm looking for a popplio on pokemon home or sword/shield

Add my Friend Code on Pokemon Home and i'll send you one of the spares I got.

added should say Ionixs

when you brows a forum dedicated to a specific game and come across a thread thats dedicated to a completely different game that reachs 200+ pages deep you know the game the forum was made for has to be grade A entertainment.

Send me a trade request whenever. I'll have App open for notification.
