I like to add something that I feel many trainers in BDSP do not know about. A mechanic from Sword and Shield has been brought to the remakes: the ability for parent Pokemon to also learn egg moves. You need two of the same Pokemon [Shinx and Shinx for example], a parent Pokemon with the egg moves you want, and a parent Pokemon with empty move slots [visit the Move Deleter to make room]. After about a minute of running around, both parents will have the same egg moves. This method is for those that either caught/bred for a shiny, but want egg moves for it, or giving egg moves to Pokemon you've grown attached to while playing the main game.
They’ve really improved QoL over time for the competitive side of Pokémon. Though if you’re looking to get together a team for when HOME compatibility is added, Poké Pelago from Sun and Moon takes out virtually all the work.
Partnered with the grand underground it’s def possible to get egg moves a lot easier. I caught a budew with seed bomb, evolved to rosella, bred with my torterra, then raised the new turtwig to evolve to torterra, and used that one to go into the daycare with mine and taught my starter seed bomb!
Hey just wanted to let you in... On Route 210 There is a double team "Jen and Zac" They have a lvl 27 Pikachu and a lvl 27 Gyarados. Winning the battle gets you 26,000 PER MATCH. Its allways a double battle unlike pokemon mansion. Jen and Zach are located Just after the first set of stairs On the way to Celestic Town. They both have green hair to make them easier to spot. Enjoy!
It’s interesting that on the surface the Pokémon games are pretty easy and straight forward for almost anyone to play. But if you dig deeper and dive into the stats of the Pokémon you find extra layers of depth.
Yeah, I feel like every game gets easier. I played through most of this game, just fighting with my starter. And even when I got bored of it and brought out the other pokemon who have been trained to levels 15+ that of the opponents just by sitting in their pokeballs, I kinda lost interest...
There is a way to check EVs, press X while looking at the stats chart on your Pokemon, it will switch from blue to Yellow and show how you trained your EVs on that Mon
This is my first game so people might already know this but if you don’t want to choose the fire type starter you can get a Houndoom pretty early on in the Underground. It’s a Dark/ Fire type and once get Fire Fang or Flamethrower you can run through fights pretty easy.
It’s pretty much your only choice besides ponyta. I got lucky and got a Magby in the underground that also had the flame body skill for faster egg hatching. This is why most people choose infernape. Even the elite 4 fire guy doesn’t have fire Pokémon first time lol
For the roaming legendaries, I recommend Murkrow for the main game and Umbreon for the post game. They both have mean look. The first roaming legendary can only use psychic movies, so Murkrow is invincible. The second has non-psychic moves, so you’ll need the bulk Umbreon provides.
Something important to note: the Masuda method requires a pokemon from a different LANGUAGE, not location. So, for example. I have a copy of pokemon BD, and I chose English as the language, and my brother or next door neighbor chose French, we can trade dittos and those dittos are useable for the Masuda method.
Another note that will save a TON of breeding time, doing circles on the bike is faster than straight lines. Pull up step counter and try it for yourself!
minor point, but the trophy garden pokémon don't accumulate infinitely. each day you can get a pokémon species "added" to the garden by the butler. the garden can contain two "added" species at a time. if you get him to add a new species, it'll replace the older of the two "added" species already in the garden
Man, the only thing I did not know was the one where when the start of a random encounter, when there is an animation triggered, the pokemon would have 2 perfect IVs. I wish I knew of this earlier. 😭
Another mechanic that some people don't know about is synchronize and natures. Synchronize makes wild pokemon have the same nature as your pokemon if it starts the battle which is helpful to getting those adamant, modest, jolly, and timid natures on the right pokemon.
Correction to the previous statement is that synchronoisee only has a 50% chance for the pokemon to have the nature of the pokemon having tbe exact same nature of the pokemon being captured.
Pomemon natures have always mattered in the pokemon games. Even in the original pokemon games there is pokemon nature's incorporated inside of them. It is just not shown straight to your face.
Heart Gold and Soul Silver Shadow Tag works based on the speed stat of the pokemon. Wobbufeet needs to higher speed than the legendaries to make them unable to run away, that was at least how in worked in those games intentionally on purpose. The only other way, I believe, to make them not run away is to have a Spinerak or Ariados use spiderweb on them with higher speed, but I believe that you cannot switch the pokemon out, I think, or otherwise the effect will wear off, I am not 100% sure of this though. Using Mean Look on Golbat or Crobat definitely wears off if you switch it out after the attack gets used. The roaming legendary was definitely running away from me then after I switched out the Pokémon.
Tip for Bottle Cap: A pachirusu from level 80 to 100 with pickup ability have 5% chance of get a bottle cap, you can create a squirrel squad of six to increases your chances to 30%
I'm not sure about BDSP, but in SWSH you could just have multiple profiles, each playing the game in a different language, and get your "foreign" pokemon for Masuda Method breeding that way. Of course to bring those pokemon back to your main save you will need either a second Switch (and a second game) or to wait for Home to add BDSP compatibility next year.
5:35 What matters for Masuda Method is not actually the country you are located in but the language you are playing the game in. Eg if two Americans, one playing in English and one playing in Spanish, trade Pokemon they can still Masuda Method that way. However if one American and one British person, both playing in English, trade Pokemon the Masuda Method will not work as both of their Pokemon are "English". You can tell if the Pokemon is eligible because there will be a little box on the info screen listing which language the Pokemon came from.
I would like to add that when it comes to EV training that if you have been battling pokemon and have EV in a stat that you dont want, you can feed the pokemon certain berries that can reduce the EV of specific stats, this is extremely useful if you are wanting to max out specific stats such as Sp Atk and Speed etc
Pro tip get the answers wrong on purpose in the gym with the questions. You want to fight the trainer with the drifbloom. Most of the post game is locked behind the National dex not beating the elite 4. One of the trainers has that ghost Pokémon which is probably the most missed Pokémon in game. There’s only one other one and that’s by the windmill only on fridays. So if you dont fight this trainer you will have to wait till a Friday to get your Pokedex full/seen and that’s way too long for most people online apparently.
or if you answer correctly like i did and the only way to get drifbloom is by waiting till friday,you can always change the date and time on ur switch to make the game think that its friday!
@@MsDaDioR this works but for pokemon the time change doesn’t happen until 24 hours after you do it, so set to Thursday then 24 hours later it should be available. I was lucky enough to get the game on a Thursday so I completed what I needed to do then caught the drifloon the next day
@@zachfal123 actually there's a trick in which it won't set back. If you go into the game and stand right out front of the windworks, then suspend the game (don't close it), then change the date to the past Friday, and the time to 10:40pm, then o back into the game, enter and exit the windworks, and drifloon will be there!
Didn't seem like you were doing it in the video so here's another tip that can be easy to miss. When you're selecting the number of things you want to buy/use/sell/etc. instead of pressing up, you can press right or left to go up or down 10. So if you want 100 of something just press right 10 times instead of holding up for a longer period of time...or worse, TAPPING up 100 times. And pressing left acts the same as pressing down, just by 10. So if you want to buy 20 of something and you accidentally tap right 3 times you can tap left once to get to 20. One thing though since the counter starts at 1 instead of 0, when you press right it'll go to 11, not 10. Just press down once to get to 10 or just don't worry about it.
Another great tip (for legendary hunting) if you don't have a wobbuffet yet, have any dark type pokemon that has the move mean look. It acts the same as shadow tag, but does cost a round. PS. Make sure your pokemon is at a decent level as well when you go to fight the legendary pokemon or it will be useless.
And the pokemon has to be faster, so the zubat line is recommended for this. (Also, only really useful for wandering legendarys, like mesprit,not legendarys like dialga.
I wish I knew you didn’t have to catch Dialga/Palkia right after defeating Cyrus at the Spear Pillar like you did in the old games. Turns out they respawn after defeating Cynthia. Took me FOREVER to catch Palkia with my battle team, and it would’ve been much worse if I were shiny hunting for one with a good nature and everything.
Also: The ability Pickup has a chance for the Pokémon to be holding an item after a battle, and it can pick up (11:00) Bottle Caps, Dusk/Shiny/Dawn Stones, Leftovers, Destiny Knot, Nuggets, Potions/Elixirs/Repels, etc. There are different level ranges where the chance for a specific item increases the higher the Pokémon’s level is. It’s pretty common on Pachirisu, which are pretty easy to catch! :)
The biggest tip I can provide is that "You do not need a Pokemon to match the typing of it's moves, just to use that move". For example, Pikachu can use Surf and Dig Drapion, Luxray, and Gliscor can learn fire and thunder fang. Medicham and Elekid can learn fire/ice/thunder punch There are limited fire types that are good in game, (even with houndoom). Finding Pokemon that can use counter type moves are very essential. Even the electric Gym leader has a Raichu later on(rematch) that knows surf. It's a surprising element when using type advantage Pokemon.
EV training was solved in X/Y with hoards. It took 5 minutes to max out a stat. Total of 20 minutes to EV train multiple pokemon. As opposed to spending $874,000 on vitamins.
Another pokemon with Flame body is Magby and Magmar and you can catch Magby's underground early in the game. Also the pokemons you encounter underground may have special egg moves that they don't have in the wild (for example Ponytas underground may have Low Kick or High Horsepower)
Veteran player here. ICYMI: The part of the video where he explains the ability flame body reduces the distances of steps required - that town is the longest road/path that you can go uninterrupted in the game (AFAIK) I’ve always gone there for hatching eggs!
Not sure if it's in the updated version but there was a route you could take on the Battle Island that would infinitely loop as the camera would automatically change direction when you hit a certain point.
For me: Literally that I miss out on cool legendary’s… Pokémon games need to feel more special. They basically are the same storyline, but different pokedex entries, people, (not counting the people that get reused) pokemon, and different rival. All you do in the storyline is defeat the villians, now here comes what might come first or after the first thing, either you first catch the legendary exclusive to which version you got, or defeat elite “four”. Quotation mark quotation mark. They need to feel special from the other games, because then the player, you, gets bored and stops playing for a while. Then you play it again then you hear your friend say, “Did you get to catch ______ during the ______ Event?” Then thats when you feel like time traveling back to when it was happening.
Don't forget about date skipping/jumping. I wish I knew about this earlier as well. If you saved, miss a shiny and want to rencounter it. I suggest setting text speed to fast.
You are absolutely wrong. Munchlax can be caught on the few rare trees with Heracross, reuse that same tree. You can get him as soon as you clear Valley Windworks. You cant get him underground until I believe you have 4 gym badges could be wrong. But can definitely get him early on a tree just has to be one of the same rare tree Heracross comes off of.
@@robbgamble4149 You can only get Munchlax that early via a tree if your SID and TID match a tree that’s accessible to you, most likely it won’t be which makes the underground way, way more likely.
@@KobeLoverTatum while I completely agree with you , it's also completely irrelevant. He said it was impossible to get Munchlax from a tree which its not. I was just explaining the process and its literally exactly what I said. You may not get the rare tree till later but there are 2 right there so it is absolutely possible.
@@robbgamble4149 he didnt? He said you COULD find it in the underground so you dont have to find it in the trees. He knew it was in trees and his comment is still valid
Another couple of tips that took me a while to realise: - when looking at your party, you can press ‘R’ to go to boxes and grab Pokémon from the PC without being at the PC - you can register multiple equipment pieces and press ‘+’ on the right controller and ‘L’ to choose which one by the direction
I don't know if you have seen someone post this but it wasn't in the comments as far down as I read but I did notice that you have been liking comments as recent as a day ago so I hope you find this. There is actually a better set of trainers to farm money off of, there is a pair of Ace Trainers in the foggy area north of Solaceon, right next to a stairwell running around. With the Amulet coin equipped they drop ~26k and also only have one Pokemon each :D Great video by the way!
Funny thing, I was hunting in the underground, I acutally got the lucky egg about a minute ago, and then he mentioned it! I thought that was a cool coincidence I should mention 🤣
You can use thief or covet to get a lucky egg from Chansey in wild encounters on rare occasions. Usually if it's around level 20 as it will have the fling ability. Start with a pokemon that has one of those moves and hit it immediately otherwise it might throw it at you. I have 8 of them and didnt even go to Sowpoint yet!!!!
Yeah, it probably is a lie. I spent like 2 weeks or more on Route 210 (just above Solaceon, not the Celestic part) and did find probably 100 Chanseys with SUPER LUCK Murkrow using Thief, got dozens of everstones from Geodudes and Metronomes from Kricketunes but NEVER a Lucky Egg on a super rare Chansey. So I eventually gave up for the sake of my mental sanity lol
I had no idea the Manaphy Egg was a permanent event now when connecting online that makes me happy. I got my Manaphy Egg on my 2nd Switch I used for Streaming but lost it when I moved out of my mom's (probably misplaced with my favorite beanie and Switch Pro Gamecube style controller) and then I also lost 30 something Poke Radar Shinies and one of my Shiny Deoxys from Pokemon GO :( Luckily I Traded over my Shiny Darkrai, but yeah I lost a Shiny Bidoof and Shiny Marill from Safari Weeks from different years. So I took a dip on some full odds Shinies as well. One cool tip coming from myself is I had 99,999 Points in Pokemon Home and dedicated it all to Shining Pearl, which I got 4,999 BP from that. Best way to farm BP in that game because Battle Tower is kinda free in the newer games but harder in BDSP :)
You can check IVs and EVs anytime with "X" in the stats screen. It won't give you the exact numbers but if you know what your looking for you can tell what the IVs are from the beginning
Which reminds me when will there be a news on the fourth update patch for both Pokemon Brillant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl games so we can finally used the Wonder Trade and Global Trade Station (GTS). I know there's Link Trade but Wonder Trade is the most important part of the games and makes it a lot easier, because in Link Trade you can trade your Pokemon with another which is good but the problem is the trainer decision takes along time to decided or just finish Link Trade without trying. That's why I prefer Wonder Trade because it's random and automatical trade without having to wait around. In Global Trade you can trade your Pokemon for another Pokemon by placng the name and trainer who seen that name will trade his/her Pokemon like magic. I've been using these opinion when I first played Pokemon X and Pokemon Y Games since them with the other POkemon games before the start of Nintendo Switch of Pokemon Let's Go Pikach/ Let's Go Eevee. I don't know why they're not added to the games before released back in November but I'm guess that with Pokemon Legend Arceus release that they wanted wait a bit longer before it's finally updated but I'm hoping it'll happen at the start of February because I'm getting fed up of waiting and because be worth it🤞.
The judge function depressed me, after sweeping the elite 4 and cynthia I thought my pokemon had amazing stats, turns out most of the stats on even my boxed pokemon were trash 🙃 I don't understand how I beat the elite 4 with these pokemon
I was trying to find the main character viewing first & then the wild pokemon. Couldn't find an article or anything about it. So this really helped out thanks!
I wish I knew that you could get Houndoom very early from the underground. I like Chimchar/Monferno/Infernape but I probably like Turtwig’s line more. There’s just no fire types in the game. I was wondering what that meant when the camera panned to me before a fight. Now I know.
How to get my piplup back into my battle team thingy to use it against wild pokemon from my pokedex or can i not do it because ive tried finding it but no one has any information for me 😔

Stupid fact : they removed piplups move bubble and replaced it with water gun. That just sucks as bubble hits both opposing Pokémon
it also sucks because it feels like starters are being standardized, it takes some personality away from them.
And that's like piplups main move if I remember correctly :/ (from the show)
minor point, but the trophy garden pokémon don't accumulate infinitely. each day you can get a pokémon species "added" to the garden by the butler. the garden can contain two "added" species at a time. if you get him to add a new species, it'll replace the older of the two "added" species already in the garden
Yes and when they add in the species or whatever, the one you dont know about will be the one from yesterday if im not mistaken
Solid guide! One of the first YTers to actually explain EVs & IVs succinctly and clearly. Thanks man.

Tip for Bottle Cap:

if you have 2 pokemon with that ability, does it stack?
@@loveyx6731 no:/
The biggest tip I can provide is that "You do not need a Pokemon to match the typing of it's moves, just to use that move".
For example, Pikachu can use Surf and Dig
Drapion, Luxray, and Gliscor can learn fire and thunder fang.
Medicham and Elekid can learn fire/ice/thunder punch
There are limited fire types that are good in game, (even with houndoom). Finding Pokemon that can use counter type moves are very essential.
Even the electric Gym leader has a Raichu later on(rematch) that knows surf. It's a surprising element when using type advantage Pokemon.

Literally all 4 of the first facts were news to me... thank you!
Hi there, I just started the game yesterday. I really thank you for putting in time and effort to tell us tips. Thx man have a great day
EV training was solved in X/Y with hoards. It took 5 minutes to max out a stat. Total of 20 minutes to EV train multiple pokemon. As opposed to spending $874,000 on vitamins.
You can dig up old amber after only 7 badges. Use it to trade for a ditto and your come up will be swift.
Where can you trade it for a ditto?
@@АйдоралСмертестойкий I'm assuming at the fossil guy. I haven't found amber yet so I'm just guessing?
You can check evs kind of by going to a mon's summary. Going to the stat hexagon and pressing x. It will show a general spread of ev investment.
Jirachi (he-ra-chi) first time I heard that pronunciation.
Another pokemon with Flame body is Magby and Magmar and you can catch Magby's underground early in the game.
Also the pokemons you encounter underground may have special egg moves that they don't have in the wild (for example Ponytas underground may have Low Kick or High Horsepower)
*THE PLURAL FOR POKEMON IS NOT F*CKING POKEMONS! REMOVE THE S RIGHT NOW!*
Veteran player here. ICYMI: The part of the video where he explains the ability flame body reduces the distances of steps required - that town is the longest road/path that you can go uninterrupted in the game (AFAIK) I’ve always gone there for hatching eggs!
Not sure if it's in the updated version but there was a route you could take on the Battle Island that would infinitely loop as the camera would automatically change direction when you hit a certain point.
Yeah same. The good ol Platinum days lol
For the old couple it's around 100 steps and they only drop 16k with the amulet coin after you've beaten the pokemon league c:
For me: Literally that I miss out on cool legendary’s… Pokémon games need to feel more special. They basically are the same storyline, but different pokedex entries, people, (not counting the people that get reused) pokemon, and different rival. All you do in the storyline is defeat the villians, now here comes what might come first or after the first thing, either you first catch the legendary exclusive to which version you got, or defeat elite “four”. Quotation mark quotation mark. They need to feel special from the other games, because then the player, you, gets bored and stops playing for a while. Then you play it again then you hear your friend say, “Did you get to catch ______ during the ______ Event?” Then thats when you feel like time traveling back to when it was happening.
Houndoom's BD Dex entry is hilarious! "Long ago, people imagined it's eerie howls to be the call of the Grim Reaper."
WE DO NOT USE THE WORD ITS AS A PRONOUN IF THERE'S AN APOSTROPHE IN IT!
Don't forget about date skipping/jumping. I wish I knew about this earlier as well. If you saved, miss a shiny and want to rencounter it. I suggest setting text speed to fast.
3:41 Me when there was a pikachu there yesterday and he adds a meowth so now the jigglypuff from before is there.
Question, when I went to talk to the two MPC Members they didn’t give me the same questions?
Does this flame body magma armour/ egg trick work in other games?
I had the game in 2022 and didn't know about the Manaphy egg, which was a limited event...
First error is that munchlax is actually in the underground so you won’t have to find it on the trees
You are absolutely wrong. Munchlax can be caught on the few rare trees with Heracross, reuse that same tree. You can get him as soon as you clear Valley Windworks. You cant get him underground until I believe you have 4 gym badges could be wrong. But can definitely get him early on a tree just has to be one of the same rare tree Heracross comes off of.
@@robbgamble4149 ohhh i didn’t know that.
@@robbgamble4149 You can only get Munchlax that early via a tree if your SID and TID match a tree that’s accessible to you, most likely it won’t be which makes the underground way, way more likely.
@@KobeLoverTatum while I completely agree with you , it's also completely irrelevant. He said it was impossible to get Munchlax from a tree which its not. I was just explaining the process and its literally exactly what I said. You may not get the rare tree till later but there are 2 right there so it is absolutely possible.
@@robbgamble4149 he didnt? He said you COULD find it in the underground so you dont have to find it in the trees. He knew it was in trees and his comment is still valid
Im happy they released a classic feeling game even if it’s a re release
Another couple of tips that took me a while to realise:
- when looking at your party, you can press ‘R’ to go to boxes and grab Pokémon from the PC without being at the PC
- you can register multiple equipment pieces and press ‘+’ on the right controller and ‘L’ to choose which one by the direction
For the Pokémon with the talent flame body it actually doesn’t have to be next to the eggs
IF YOU MEAN TALONFLAME, THAT POKEMON IS NOT IN BDSP!
I don't know if you have seen someone post this but it wasn't in the comments as far down as I read but I did notice that you have been liking comments as recent as a day ago so I hope you find this. There is actually a better set of trainers to farm money off of, there is a pair of Ace Trainers in the foggy area north of Solaceon, right next to a stairwell running around. With the Amulet coin equipped they drop ~26k and also only have one Pokemon each :D Great video by the way!
Bottle caps can also be picked up with the pick up ability.
You can click the right stick to your poketech screen when it is in the corner of your screen
I don't seem to get a free egg from gaining the mystery gift function?
2:47 bro Jirachi and Mew are Mythicals
Yep, a solid series of tips!
Good to find you! Thanks, great job!
You forgot that there are berries to reduce ev's as well.
Funny thing, I was hunting in the underground, I acutally got the lucky egg about a minute ago, and then he mentioned it! I thought that was a cool coincidence I should mention 🤣
11:07 you can also get bottle caps through pokemon with pickup ability but it's pretty rare. I only found one this way
Thanks for watching 🤗🤗
And commenting send a direct message right away 🆙
You have just won a gift 🎁
The one about jubilife tv station seems to be wrong. I did that but there was no option in full caps and no egg to be had.
The Pokemon with Magma Armor or Flame body just has to be in the party not exactly next to the eggs
Also there are two ace trainers near Celeste town who give you 26,000 each battle(w amulet coin)
for people to want to know where, its the 2 aces running in a circle to the right of Celeste town
@@geonecatsu7307 yup this is the best. if only one of them is triggered by the vs seeker, it will still be a double battle anyway.
I automatically unlocked it when I got my 3rd badge and there was no mystery gift at all.
Great informational, thanks! It's a shame that the Mystery Gift for the Mythic Pokémon doesn't work anymore, lol 😂.
Here is something to remember I learnt this the hard way REMEMBER TO SAVE YOUR GAME
many people sold “strength” there is no way to recover Mt/mh???
You can use thief or covet to get a lucky egg from Chansey in wild encounters on rare occasions. Usually if it's around level 20 as it will have the fling ability. Start with a pokemon that has one of those moves and hit it immediately otherwise it might throw it at you. I have 8 of them and didnt even go to Sowpoint yet!!!!
This is a lie, since Chansey doesn’t carry Lucky Egg in BDSP.
Yeah, it probably is a lie. I spent like 2 weeks or more on Route 210 (just above Solaceon, not the Celestic part) and did find probably 100 Chanseys with SUPER LUCK Murkrow using Thief, got dozens of everstones from Geodudes and Metronomes from Kricketunes but NEVER a Lucky Egg on a super rare Chansey. So I eventually gave up for the sake of my mental sanity lol
Things I wish I knew earlier in BDSP: That they didn't completely fucking suck
I really appreciate learning how to check the judge stats I missed how to look at that and pokemon radar
7:35 there's actually a secret method of getting the ds sounds, and you can do it super easy
Just don't install the day one patch
I really have nothing good to trade but I would like to get a charmander
U need a charmander??lol whats your IG
@@bigtroll446 kingant500
I had no idea the Manaphy Egg was a permanent event now when connecting online that makes me happy. I got my Manaphy Egg on my 2nd Switch I used for Streaming but lost it when I moved out of my mom's (probably misplaced with my favorite beanie and Switch Pro Gamecube style controller) and then I also lost 30 something Poke Radar Shinies and one of my Shiny Deoxys from Pokemon GO :(
Luckily I Traded over my Shiny Darkrai, but yeah I lost a Shiny Bidoof and Shiny Marill from Safari Weeks from different years. So I took a dip on some full odds Shinies as well.
One cool tip coming from myself is I had 99,999 Points in Pokemon Home and dedicated it all to Shining Pearl, which I got 4,999 BP from that. Best way to farm BP in that game because Battle Tower is kinda free in the newer games but harder in BDSP :)
The jirachi and mew :O thats so pog I have had both saves and didnt know I could just get those 2 awesome pokemon
Totally misheard wobbaffet as Boba Fett at first 😂
THE A IN WOBBUFFET IS SUPPOSED TO BE A U!
You can check IVs and EVs anytime with "X" in the stats screen. It won't give you the exact numbers but if you know what your looking for you can tell what the IVs are from the beginning
Really awesome video. Kinda wish there were moments with screenshot information so i could save it more easily but thank you for all the info!
I got that perfect IV animation on my first battle against the wild Starly, where I didn't have any Pokeballs yet.
I knew something was odd while hunting shiny magikarp and I would get that cut scene glad I caught them was able to get a jolly nature
i was disappointed to realize that the daycare doesnt level up your pokemon anymore
Does the save file mew work if you got let's go Pikachu after Pokémon diamond?
Which reminds me when will there be a news on the fourth update patch for both Pokemon Brillant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl games so we can finally used the Wonder Trade and Global Trade Station (GTS). I know there's Link Trade but Wonder Trade is the most important part of the games and makes it a lot easier, because in Link Trade you can trade your Pokemon with another which is good but the problem is the trainer decision takes along time to decided or just finish Link Trade without trying.
That's why I prefer Wonder Trade because it's random and automatical trade without having to wait around. In Global Trade you can trade your Pokemon for another Pokemon by placng the name and trainer who seen that name will trade his/her Pokemon like magic. I've been using these opinion when I first played Pokemon X and Pokemon Y Games since them with the other POkemon games before the start of Nintendo Switch of Pokemon Let's Go Pikach/ Let's Go Eevee.
I don't know why they're not added to the games before released back in November but I'm guess that with Pokemon Legend Arceus release that they wanted wait a bit longer before it's finally updated but I'm hoping it'll happen at the start of February because I'm getting fed up of waiting and because be worth it🤞.
The judge function depressed me, after sweeping the elite 4 and cynthia I thought my pokemon had amazing stats, turns out most of the stats on even my boxed pokemon were trash 🙃 I don't understand how I beat the elite 4 with these pokemon
Power of friendship
what was your team?
Amazing tips! ❤
I was trying to find the main character viewing first & then the wild pokemon. Couldn't find an article or anything about it. So this really helped out thanks!
i dont get any gifts on the mystery gift? it’s empty
I wish I knew that you could get Houndoom very early from the underground. I like Chimchar/Monferno/Infernape but I probably like Turtwig’s line more. There’s just no fire types in the game.
I was wondering what that meant when the camera panned to me before a fight. Now I know.
You can get Magby super early in underground as well. Also Ponyta in the small area of 211. Before you fight the grass qym.
Good stuff man. I’m trying to get through this before Arceus comes out! This will help a lot! 👊🏽😁
How to get my piplup back into my battle team thingy to use it against wild pokemon from my pokedex or can i not do it because ive tried finding it but no one has any information for me 😔
1:34 thought that was a legendary/mythical thing only, cause I got that animation when I caught all the lake trio
Did you actually pronounce Jirachi as "Hir-rah-chi?"
It's so cringe lol
Great vid. Very helpful and concise.
