For ditto farming, sweet scent should be replaced with heal pulse. When the ditto transforms it will be speed tied with you and can have the chance to click pay day or false swipe over and over again to kill your smeargle. Having the ditto have the chance to heal pulse you minimizes that risk of your smeargle dying along with leftovers recovery.
i’ve never had an issue with my smeargle getting close to dying personally and i like having payday to quickly clear whismur/loudred single encounters like mentioned, but i think heal pulse is a cool option/tech and im sure some people might prefer that, which is always welcome!
@@patrouski that's fair, but i think it should be at least said that for ditto farming specifically, it should be replaced with something that at least mitigates the risk of smeargle dying even if its a small chance. but to each their own :)
Sneasel is still better because instead of Payday you can use Psycho Cut, which once they transform can't kill you because Psychic doesn't affect Dark.
@@bergoxid2418 don't need payday money, it's faster to run from everything that isn't shiny or a ditto and then that gives you more ditto per hour which is more money anyway
I usually throw pokeballs since they cost 200$ instead of 1350$ which means you can throw 6.75 balls for the price of one duskball You lose a bit of time but usually you capture a ditto with 1-3 pokeball
True, wonder if someone can calculate which is more optimal since in the time you save with dusk balls you’d be able to get more dittos in the same time frame
Just curious, why is this better than the substitute/toxic orb method with Breloom? I'm presuming it's because you can save time without substitue/toxic orb heal?
You can do a double battle with smeargle and a mon tht knows assist, have no other pokemon in the back so assist fails and then use smeargle to sketch it
I just play on its own launcher, different game, different program. Great game! This video has the installation guide in the description: th-cam.com/video/f3jjKUa7hKo/w-d-xo.html
I'd like to share my preferred method for ditto farming. Pickup teddiursa is my lead running yawn and covet while my catcher is a poison heal breloom. Teddiursa covets non dittos and yawns dittos before switching to breloom. You profit from pickup while stealing chesto berries every now and then. Note that dittos will have copied covet so breloom must have its toxic orb removed after it is poisoned.
@Anca Crișan Imo the extra turn u spend on ditto encounters is worth it mainly for pickup. With that said, testing would be required for a proper comparison.
Sub breloom with poision heal was my previous strat and i have to say from anecdotal experience this is 10x better, saving a turn every battle is HUGE and not getting slept VS normal smeargle strat is super nice!
@@Dracomics you get so many 1x31 dittos while farming, there really isn't any reason to save them for that long. You could easily get multiple boxes of them like a week or two before the event starts.
@@patrouski I was only like 20 minutes in man I was screaming haha. Love your vids I’m only a week into PokeMMO your super useful and nice to listen to while grinding thanks
@@MA-sf6lq It's the same thing as the strat that patrouski's using in the video, except the sneasel has three moves in false swipe, assist, and psycho cut instead of the payday and sweet scent on pat's smeargle. The reason why it's nice is because dark types aren't affected by psychic moves, so psycho cut both gives you an attacking option if you find a shiny in a horde while also doing no damage to you if ditto uses it. Paras/Parasect is the same as in the video. You can also use weavile, but just make sure it doesn't have the ability Pressure.
Great Video, I just use a Magikarp first, switch out, false swipe and 90% of the time, you can catch the Ditto with your first Poke Ball, might be a little inefficient since you have to swap out to your pokemon with Spore
Sneasel is better bc you have Assist+Psycho Cut instead of Sweet Scent+Pay Day (which is the worst move since you can get fainted happens a lot) that has animations bc they won't fail also there is a move deleter in p center
Sneasei is better but it's still all janky you still can get hit by false swipe and you can botch shiny. I prefer 1 more turn and 100% breloom@@slanyus
@@johnreypalacios9751 To put dittos to sleep reliably you need Spore and False Swipe (obv) and the way to do that is either Substitute Breloom or Assist mon with False Swipe and afaik there isn't any synchronize mon with those moves
@@patrouski Well, where did you get the smeargle and parasect? Can I breed pokemon for my journey? Also, can this game allow me to use my favorites in a story run or do I have to use certain meta pokemon to beat the game? How can I get more full heals and full restores?
@@sazude2 You have to make the parasect and smeargle, i have guides on utility pokemon on my channel. You can breed pokemon if u want but keep in mind it consumes them and you dont get access to that for a bit in most storylines. Yes u can use any pokemon to beat the storyline in this game with good strategy but meta mons definitely make it easier. Full heals and full restores are usually bought from the GTL. This is just a ditto catching guide, theres tons of other guides and videos on my channel as well as forums and other sources on google that should answer any questions you need. Let me know if i can point u in the right direction or provide any links
It’s strange how you always drop these ditto catching videos right when I need them. XD
Was just thinking this haha, came out right on time.
Yooo nice! I needed this so much.

Thanks for doing this
Just started this game. I been watching all your videos
Honored to hear it
How do I go about getting assist on my Smeagle? Cheers

It's just objectively better. 3 turn catching vs 4 turn catching is just the quicker way to farm.
Fuck, I was just getting to the farming spot, ditto price about to drop
Hahahah
Shitto prices should maintain really well, people have been short on boxes forever, it’s crazy how cheap 1x31 dittos can be atm tho 🫣

how to i get assist on the smeratgle
My moveset soak(use for alpha) , false swipe, assist, heal pulse.
Don't use Assist smeargle for Alphas. Just replace it with Spore since Assist forces you to have only one partner with only one move.
@@slanyus I'm using my smeargle to farm ditto.
@@AnimeMixXed You use Soak for Alphas so I automatically assume you use the same Smeargle for both Dittos and Alphas.
@@slanyus bruhhh. I have breloom to catch alpha. I just use soak if the alpha is a plant or a ghost type.
@@AnimeMixXed Then you should have said that and not "For Alpha"

It's here finally
how do you make Smeargle learn assist?
@@ancacrisan4213 Thank you so much for the help. have a great rest of your day🙂
Were can i get the tm assist from ?
Smeargle cant learn tms, you have to sketch every move! O have guides for that on my channel and there are other methods out there as well
I gave my smeargle a quick claw so the ditto isn't faster as me and it works pretty well :)
I personally prefer the sneasel and paras/parasect over this
@@MA-sf6lq search it up on youtube, theres a forum for it

In the short run the time this loses might be ignored but in the long run it loses you too much time to switch and all
Why not just get smeagle substitue then your free and clear to just false swipe and cap.
wastes a turn every single ditto + recovering the HP with leftovers wastes time
Sneasel is better bc you have Assist+Psycho Cut instead of Sweet Scent+Pay Day (which is the worst move since you can get fainted happens a lot) that has animations bc they won't fail also there is a move deleter in p center
How are you not fainted by psycho cut?
