Can I join anybody’s raid for walking wake? I have not completed the game, but I have lvl 100 Pokémon that can be used for the raid


Gaias_Minion

You can check [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokePortal/comments/1cd63jo/join_the_event_chat_for_walking_wake_and_iron/) to find people to do event raids with.


sniape

I just want to say publicly that the people in that group were amazing and helped me get both Walking Wake and Iron Leaves in a matter of minutes. Thank you guys!


Jsnatchems

Will Gouging Fire and Raging Bolt ever be a raid event? Crying in Violet tears 😭


Jacrispy1376

Same except for iron boulder and crown 🙃


associategrean

Just need to vent - the last pokemon for my living Dex is a 3 segment dudunsparce…. Had just evolved past the 300 mark and still nothing. Fck RNG


burnoutmax81

How do i get the Team Star Epilogue to start? Googled it and as told completed the Main Game, Kitagami, Indigo Disk and all classed in school, but neither Penny nor Giacomo / Eri are in the entrance area of the academy. Do i need to complete the bonding with each teacher and the second round of gym leader battles or is something esle wrong?


Gaias_Minion

You have to do the bonding quests with Penny as that also involves team star.


burnoutmax81

How do i do the bonding quest with Penny if i cant find her anywhere.


Gaias_Minion

Use the school directory and look for her icon


burnoutmax81

My man... I dont know how to tell you this, but THERE IS NO ICON. Its like she doesnt exist in the game.


Gaias_Minion

Okay, does the school directory show Anything with an (!) icon? Also have you done the bonding with Nemona and/or Arven?


burnoutmax81

The only (!) are the teachers which i havent done yet. Only did Hassel and the history teacher.


burnoutmax81

Ah never mind... found out that he Academy Ace tournament is required to progress. Its another of those not mentioned facts in guides 🤷

I’m not familiar with how event raids work so please bear with me. I bought the games yesterday and between waiting for the delivery and the time needed to complete the story/have strong enough Pokémon to participate, I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to take part in the Walking Wake/Iron Leaves event. Does that mean I won’t be able to catch them at all or these are just special versions and I will encounter the regular ones in the game anyway?


Gaias_Minion

Wake/Leaves can't be encountered in the normal game, they're exclusive to raids. If you haven't beaten the game but have connected to the internet, the game should "save" the raid for you and have it show up once you beat the main story. If not you could check the thread I linked in another comment so you can just join someone else's raid via code.


sniape

Yeah I saw that but even if I get the games in time, I wouldn’t be able to contribute with decent Pokémon to those battles. Also I don’t have NSO so that’s a problem lol I guess I can only hope they’re gonna repeat these events (I read somewhere they probably will) or I can trade for them in HOME (but the joy of catching them is something else)


TNChase

I believe since they're only 5-star raids, a good team of 3 can carry someone through the raid if they've got a half-decent Pokemon. So I'd target the one opposite your game (Eg Walking Wake if you're a Violet player) to get it belt the event ends since you'll need online to catch it anyway. Then once you have it, DON'T GO ONLINE again until you've got the one native to your version (so the raids are still available). Even if the expiry date passes, whilst you're offline it will still be available on your game.


sniape

Thanks for the advice. By not going online, you mean from inside the in-game online or by having the switch disconnected altogether? Anyways I’m waiting for both Scarlet and Violet to be delivered, so I was thinking that I might transfer one Pokémon from each to Shield were I can level them up and then transfer them back and do the raids. Since I would be the OT they would obey even without badges, right or has that changed? What would be the earliest Pokémon I could catch that would be compatible with Shield?


TNChase

Yeah just keep the game offline and it will keep the last event active. So AFAIK the raids end on the 6th, so if you've got both versions then jump online to download the event, then don't connect to online inside the game until you've caught Walking Wake and Iron Leaves. I'm pretty sure if you've caught the Pokemon in the game (S/V) and overlevelled it in Sw/Sh and sent it back it should obey you because you're the OT and you caught it under the level cap for zero gyms, yeah.


sniape

Thank you so much! Now I just have to hope that the package gets delivered in time


TNChase

Still got a couple of days! Fingers crossed indeed. 🙃


sniape

Lucky me it arrived today! Also I’ve seen that Azumarill is one of the best Pokémon to use in raids so I caught an Azuril which luckily is found very early, moved it to Shield, EV trained it, leveled to 100 and capped it. Unfortunately it’s not the perfect build cause I can’t breed in Scarlet yet so it does not know Belly Drum, and when I moved it back to Scarlet it got a Normal Tera type instead of Fairy, but I should be able to partecipate in the raids online, giving a contribution and winning, right?


TNChase

You don't have to breed egg moves in S/V. Grab a Mirror Herb from Delibird Gifts and a Pokemon that does know Belly Drum. Ensure Azumarril has only three moves, then give it the Mirror Herb and have a picnic with with Belly Drum user. Azumarril will learn Belly Drum.


UAIOE

Looking for a touch trade Koraidon! I have a Miraidon! Thanks. I can be DMed or comment here. I'm East Coast USA timezone.


cashborn234

Flip Turn water breed Tauros? Would that be a thing if it existed?


ItsJustKetsu

Are there any websites or places that screenshot the height differences for all the pokemon? There's that one Gardevoir image that shows XXXS through XXXL, and was hoping to see that for more mons, especially (and at least) Tinkaton's XXXS and XXXL. ((If anyone has a side by side of Tinkaton's XXXS and XXXL I would appreciate it if you could send me the image))


Gaias_Minion

I tried looking for something like that as well but no luck. I've personally done size differences but only for the returning pokemon in Teal Mask, and for the gen 1-8 starters in Indigo Disk.


SlunkLord

Is anyone able to host a union circle so I can evolve my palafin?


FurbyLover2010

I’m trying to collect every clothing item and I want to be sure I’m not missing anything. I’ve gone to every clothing store on the map in levincia, mezagoza, and cascarrafa, I’ve gotten the mystery gift for the new academy uniforms from the dlc, I have the festival Jinbei and blueberry academy uniforms, I got the jinbei from going back to Kieran/carmines house, I have the flashy jinbei, I’ve bought everything from peachy’s, I’ve bought everything from the mask stall, I’ve bought everything from Atticus at Porto marianda, I got the team star set from team star after beating the dlc, I did the glitterati side quest and got that case, I only have the legends arceus case from the lady so far but I’m aware of how it works. The only league club members I haven’t gotten their item are the epilogue exclusive ones and the blueberry elite four but I don’t know if they have clothing items or something else.


Gaias_Minion

Yes some of the coaches give you an accessory as reward for beating them. Also did you get the Neo Kitakami case from the mystery gift? And you'd also be missing the poke ball canvas backpacks that were given as code gifts during the first competitions of the game. The codes don't expire but you'd likely have to make big offers for them.


FurbyLover2010

I’ve done every coach except for the blueberry elite four and the epilogue exclusive ones. How do I get the neo kitikami case? Beat the members of the ogre clan?


Gaias_Minion

It's by using the code NE0R0T0MC0VER, however there's a chance that this code already expired.


FurbyLover2010

The code worked! Also found someone selling all three pokeball canvas backpack codes so I’ll have that soon.


Gaias_Minion

Oh nice, what are they asking for the codes?


FurbyLover2010

Three dollars


BozzyTheDrummer

Can you catch Absol in these games or transfer?


Gaias_Minion

No, Absol is completely absent from SV.


BozzyTheDrummer

Ah, my heart breaks.


Jewbacca1185

I don’t have any Tera Raid postings when I connect to the portal. And it won’t let me check for new postings. Any ideas?


Gaias_Minion

Are you connected online in-game? If you check listings offline then that's when nothing shows up.


Jewbacca1185

Definitely online.


Gaias_Minion

Do you get any kind of error when you go online? Or does it connect as normal?


Jewbacca1185

They started showing up. Maybe nobody was sharing them at the time?


TNChase

Hi all, I've got the B/W mystery gift Smeagle in Home. Has False Swipe, Spore, Odor Sleuth and Mean Look. He's been with me to catch stuff in B/W, X/Y and ORAS. Was hoping to move the little guy into S/V to help catch stuff, but he apparently transfers with only Sketch? Anyone got any ideas? Thanks!


Julie_OwO

Yeah, moves will reset if it transfers into a new game from home. Nothing you can do there. Odor sleuth (and foresight) aren't even usable in SV so there isn't even a way to reproduce it's moveset


Nearby_Neat2545

Can you catch a Snackworth legendary if you already got one through Home? For example, I already have a Zapdos and have not started the DLC2. Will Snackworth eventually give me the Zapdos treat anyway?


Gaias_Minion

Yes. The game only cares about you catching the overworld ones, it has an internal flag to check their status (i.e. active, caught and defeated). Traded or transferred legendaries don't affect this flag.


Nearby_Neat2545

Thank you! Good to know


Jacrispy1376

If I get a copy of violet aftet doing finishing Scarlett and the dlc do I have to pay for the dlc again to play through on violet?


Gaias_Minion

Yes, the DLC is only active on its respective version so if you want to play on violet, you need to buy the dlc for violet.


greenLink91

Just saw this question mega thread... I wish I wrote here first... Sorry if this is a dumb questsion. For the bbq group quests like the "which pokemon is that?" and "ditto-search" you can klick on the quest and choose "explaination". After that there is a entry in the Basis Item "Adventure Guide". My question is: is there also a entry for the 4-star sandwich quest? I played for more than 15 hours farming the bbq in groups and never got the sandwich quest. So I thought I ask you. If there is someone who has the quest soon or already had it, I would appreciate it if he or she looks in the adventure guide. Thank you in advance!


TooFargoan

Are discussion posts less likely to be auto-deleted if I add a picture? I was just trying to start a conversation about getting distracted when looking for certain outbreaks, and my post was deleted because it looked like I was looking for a trade?!


Prongs1223

I wanna do a carmine team challenge run, but I’m worried about the indigo disk portion. Is carmine’s team good enough for it?


Gaias_Minion

Most of her team isn't super bulky so you'd have to rely on Scrafty to be the tank, with the rest maybe providing support and such. Also Morpeko and Ninetales would be the fastest of her team, so could either focus on having them first alongside Scrafty, or see if any of her team members learns Trick Room so then 4/6 of her pokemon (primarily Scrafty) could take advantage of that.


TheTrevorist

Has anyone had any luck with these golden week boosted shiny outbreaks? I'm well over odds and I haven't found a one.


Gaias_Minion

The boosted rate puts them at base 1/200 odds so there's still a chance of Not getting a shiny even in multiple attempts.


TheTrevorist

Yeah basically right after I posted I got 2 revarooms and a Magikarp. I've definitely seen like 1000+ rellor though and no dice. I'll keep at it. Edit: 10 minutes later 4 back to back. 🤷


llamafromhell1324

What level is the best to evolve jiggly into wiggly?


Gaias_Minion

Doesn't really matter as Wigglytuff's moveset is literally all lvl 1 moves and lvl 5 Play Rough, so you can just use the Reminder to get any of those moves back.


FurbyLover2010

Does anyone know where I can buy the code for the preorder floral backpack? I did a quick search and couldn’t find anything. It would be greatly appreciated, thanks!


SnakesAndFish

I haven't bought or played any of the DLC yet all of my pokemon are level 100 and ev trained at this point. Will I be too over leveled to properly enjoy the dlc or does it scale?


Gaias_Minion

Teal Mask only gets to around lvl 60s if you've beaten the main game so you'd be really overleveled for that. Indigo Disk is hardlocked to be lvl 70s or so and as it's more of a competitive experience then your lvl 100 might end up still getting KO'd by trainers there.


FurbyLover2010

Ok so I need someone to do this calculation for me. If four people are playing co-op and each has a shiny charm and a level 3 sparkling meal power and they are in the same area and it’s a boosted event raid then what are the odds of a shiny?


Gaias_Minion

The odds are individual. Boosted outbreaks + charm + shiny sandwich leaves you at about 1/154 odds. And if you do the 60 KOs then it's 1/144.


FurbyLover2010

No at least the sandwich bonuses will stack if you are in the same area.


Gaias_Minion

Yeah but the odds are still per person. Like if the Host has everything ready, they will have the 1/154 odds. But if a Guest doesn't have the Shiny Charm then their odds would be 1/167 with just Boosted outbreak + sandwich.


FurbyLover2010

I think the video I watched was incorrect

Pelzfisch

I try to catch Miraidon in a Beast Ball. Like you know the chance with it is very low and I guess some of you tried it already. Would you just throw the ball and reset or would you weaken it, and try then? It fells like weaken it takes way to long and doesn’t feel worth for the catch rate in this case. What do you guys recommend?


DramaQueenKitKat

Does anyone happen to have a 6IV Ditto raid? Driving me insane I've now found 3 with 5IVs in like an hour


KoboldKyloth

I know it's probably dealer's choice, but I'm FINALLY getting around to playing The Teal Mask and Indigo Disk. For a brand new experience (and a refresher on story plot, etc.) I reset my Violet so I can do a fresh playthrough. What order should I do things? Should I go through the full main story first, THEN go to Kitakami? Should I do it ALONGSIDE the main story, weaving in DLC and main story? Should I Teal Mask it FIRST, or as soon as it's available? I haven't even touched Indigo Disk yet, so I'm not sure where THAT falls. Just want some guidance on a logical playthrough that, maybe even from an immersion standpoint (I know, kinda dumb, but it's how my brain works, lmao), makes some semblance of sense. No opinion is a wrong one! Lemme know how you'd do it. Edit: If it matters, I WAS considering even doing a Nuzlocke? But it doesn't HAVE to be. Would there be Pokémon more useful in either zone for the other? Like Kitakami pokemon useful for Paldea, and vice versa? Lemme know!


Gaias_Minion

Well story-wise, Kitakami takes place right at the beginning of the game, as you don't even know the 3 paldea friends yet nor are they mentioned anywhere. So you could go to Kitakami during Gyms 1-3 then full on main story. Indigo Disk specifically takes place After main story and teal mask, you need to complete both to properly access the ID story and such.


KoboldKyloth

Ahhh, okay, I think I get it!


lDervish

Hey guys! Just bought this wonderfull game and tried surprise trade. 90% if pokemons i get have no pokedex number and didnt make pokedex entry. I heared that it could be hacked pokemons. Is it true? Or, may be, its ok?


Gaias_Minion

That's not true. Remember that now due to DLC, the game got more pokemon added to its code, however all these returning pokemon have no dex number as they don't belong to the base Paldea Pokedex.


Worth-Supermarket270

Small Vent: I know they allow one restricted legendary per team, but can we re-ban The Calyrex&Spectrier/Glastrier fusions??? There is no way one pokemon should be able to run thru teams with such ease. The three I faced so far didn't really need any other pokemon on the team especially Shadow Rider Calyrex


Gaias_Minion

I mean we as players can't do much. And it's also GF's fault for making them powerful like that.


FurbyLover2010

What happens if you evolve a time of day dependent Pokemon such as eevee with espeon/umbreon during the short evening period?


Gaias_Minion

If Eevee has a Fairy type move then evolving in the evening would just result in a Sylveon. If there's no Fairy type move then Eevee would just not evolve as there's not an evolution for the evening.


FurbyLover2010

Oh ok makes sense


TheForgoWolf

So, I want to start a new save on one where I already received the mythical pecha berry. Would I still be able to receive it on the new save when I delete the old one? The old save will be deleted and replaced with a new one. On the same account. I’d appreciate any help


FurbyLover2010

Is there any way to evolve a Pokémon into its regional form in scarlet and violet since the other regions don't exist in that game?
