      @@NintendoViola He probably did it that way because when you have a Pokémon that's ready to evolve, it'll gain more EXP than usual so long as you keep it from evolving, making for quick and easy level-ups. Basically giving it the same EXP boost that a Pokémon you got in a trade would get. That, and fully evolved Pokémon need more EXP to gain a level.

    For the sake of arguing the Chatot for "required catches," you could have done that with the shiny Ponyta instead which would give you Rapidash too. I'm not sure if that would have been enough to eliminate the need for Geodude or Rhydon though.

      I think that chatot quest, the stunky camp quest, the spirtomb and the chimchar quests are the only ones that don't get triggered by catches? Does the Alola Vulpix not activate if you don't have a regular vulpix? Cause that's a gift pokemon like your starter so it wouldn't have counted as a catch either but it would have been late into the game. Spirtomb would have also taken awhile however because you can't really complete it until you get braviary.

    I found it interesting that another Poketuber did something similar, but he only counted how many balls he used on Pokemon. To him it's totally fine to evolve Pokemon to get more dex entries. And yes, he only caught Geodude and Ryhorn for his challenge. Afterhe beat the game, he only used a whopping 13 balls in the whole game, including all forced catches like the starters and the origin ball.
    As a result, I'm fairly sure that Chatot is totally not necessary. You should be able to get enough research points with Geodude and Rhyhorn.

    A detail that I think has gone unmentioned in these pla videos is that having a wild pokemon use certain moves on you also counts for the "Seen it use x move" tasks. You can speed up the research considerably by battling Pokemon of the same species so you get more chances to see it use the required moves :)

    I’m doing a similar thing, but in regards to required ENTRIES, not catches. I’ll have extra lines filled in for catching multiple, and will be able to farm grit by catching loads of starly, shinx, etc. I will also add any entries filled by catching a random shiny (or shiny ponyta)

  • @sarcasm-aplenty
    @sarcasm-aplenty ปีที่แล้ว

    I wonder if it would be possible with just 2 extra catches if done so earlier in the game. You only needed to catch chatot to fill in a little bit of points.
    I never completed the spiritomb quest in my playthrough (i just bred a spiritomb from elsewhere lol) so I don't know if you catch it in the wild or if it manifests into your party, but if it doesn't count as a "capture" you could fill the dex with its entry too. I don't know if that would be enough. Alternatively if there are any in-game trades you could maximize entries by getting 2-5 for the price of 1 but I don't remember there being any.

  • @cybo_vampire9145

    You want a challenge in a game that's (somewhat) similar to this? Try to beat Pokepark for the Wii one with the least number of friends possible. Never done this myself, and I imagine it'd either be super annoying, or super easy. In case it's super easy, try doing it with the least number of upgrades too.
