Do you have any pokemon with Synchronize? Catch ones with good natures and stick them at the front of your team. 50% chance the wild pokemon will have the same nature.

Meh, I've always played this way. I understand there's a big disadvantage to not evolving your pokemon but I rather grind a little more and have a party I'm happy with rather than have a beast of a pokemon but having to think "
I miss bulbasaur" everytime I send out Venusaur.Anyway I managed to beat the gym the second round. Bulbasaur, Helioptile (don't ask why lol) and Tyrunt saved the day. That, and two super potions.
I hope the next gyms aren't so ridiculously far away o_o
Yeah Switch/Set is the true "difficulty" option in this game, always has been.
Personally I'd never play it again on Switch but it's the perfect option for kids/newcomers.

pfff lolicons.
I'm really surprised Nintendo didn't push this more as a feature. It is a huge addition and really eases in people to the series. The game is basically grind free because of it.

Sadly, only an Abra with Jolly nature, which is bad.
On a good note: these Staryu's can get me some good stuff on the GTS since they're rare there.

Venasaur looks awesome in 3D though. So there's that.

I feel like the male clothes in this are a bit lacking and only a few things look good. On the other hand, I've seen lots of varied female trainers that all looke xcellent.

What's up with the ditto love? What's it so special for?
Ditto can breed with any pokemon to make an egg.

I'm alive again!
Greetings, Pokegaf!
I'm a total pokemon noob, this is my first game, but have been playing a good bit since Friday, so I have a couple of questions.
1) What sort of things, beside story/plot twists, is considered to be a spoiler? I see name of pokemons flying around so I assume that is safe?? It's kinda hard to know for a newcomer...
2) Game wise, I'm now at Ambrette, with a playtime of 8:30 and Pokedex 75. I have only been to one gym, but on the bright side I was
The team:
Braixen 31 - feels horribly overpowered at this point, instakills most stuff apart from water/fire
Ivysaur 25
Raichu 29
Panpour 22
Pancham 21
Pidgeotto 25
I like Braixen, Ivysaur and Raichu a lot. Panpour I keep only for water, but I find him kind of dull, Pancham is my false swiper, cutter, smasher and over all handyman. Pidgeotto is pretty meh to me, but an ok damager I guess.
I would obviously like to have a good all-round team, and if some of you vets would like to comment on it, and make suggestions for good candidates to make improvement on the team I would be a very happy pokeman. Of the captured pokemons that I have stored, and that I think looks interesting, I have Psyduck, Honedge, Roselia, Skiddo, Furfrou, Scraggy, Kecleon, Ducklett, Volveat and Meditite.
3) I have a feeling I should have reached at least the second gym by now? Am I doing it wrong?
Sorry for the long post, or if I forgot to spoiler-tag something, but question have sort of piled on since I was banned during the weekend
Oh, yeah, the game is awesome and addictive! The battle part of it is pretty much as good as it gets in a jrpg. The story is about what I expect from a japanese rpg. But all the different types, the moves, and the elements make battling really complex and interesting. On the downside it's a bit on the easy side so far (should maybe turn off EXP share?). Braixen kills everything in battles, and the biggest problem about catching pmons is them dying way too often. :/
way to get a 1-week ban just before pokemon release...

Yeah, I hope there's more hairstyles and colours to unlock at least... I've only unlocked one so far. Was hoping for jackets and stuff too but haven't seen any so far

I am not looking forward to any future playthroughs where I play as the guy. Fix this shit in Z, GF.

I just found about this yesterday and after many hours of breeding, I have a nice set saved for Nature hunting.
It is a GOD send!

SHINY HAUNTER!
Honestly any male dragon egg or monster egg group that is able to bread with Charmander would work for me. Just need that 1 male to get going haha.

Is getting a shiny more frequent in this game or have I just not been paying attention to old threads?
I had never even ran into a shiny before this game and I've seen like 10 people catch a shiny in two days.

As mentioned, Ditto can breed with any Pokemon. This means you don't need a female to get an offspring.
A lot of people try and get a Ditto from a different region, too, as parents with different regions create eggs that have an 8x chance of being a shiny.

Good morning PokeGAF. Breeding a Modest or Timid Spritzee today. Maybe a neutral nature if I get sick of hatching.

Good life
I've decided to start giving a shit about natures and abilities when possible. I didn't even realize that randomly caught Pokemon in the wild could have more than one kind of ability...and I've been playing casually since 1998. Lol. Always thought diff abilities only came from events and giveaways or the dream world.
Is it generally a best practice to go with natures that boost a Pokemon's natural strengths and decrease their already-weak stats?
Sidenote: Mr. Mime fully animated in 3D is terrifying.

Thanks for the spoilers, friend.... Don't worry, I'll spoil tag it for you.

I think the rate on getting them has gone up. I don't know for sure but it does seem like there are more of them popping up on this thread then ever before.
Robin64

I think it's just that we have a lot of people playing right now which means a hell of a lot of Pokemon being caught.
Then there's the tipping rumor..
It must be. I saw a shiny in this game after having never seen one and I've played since Red/Blue.

I read that as eclectic at first and was going to agree. I guess electric Pokemon are lacking as well, I am not that far into the game to know otherwise.

I would agree with you, but the other pokemon threads had a lot of people as well...
