Had a busy couple of days in Scarlet. I beat (and then caught) Titan Great Tusk, and then beat Alfornada gym. I got my Home update, and with that Sprigatito and Quaxly, and am now working on the Paldean part of my Home living dex. I also caught a Female Indeedee, and the red and yellow forms of...
LF: Deoxys.
FT: I have a number of spare legendaries from Shield, but I would be content just borrowing a Deoxys long enough to register all its forms in the Pokédex.
Another thing (and a somewhat strange request):
Looking to borrow a Palkia from Shining Pearl, so I can complete the Pokédex...
Fun fact I discovered recently: If you use Knock Off on a Pokémon holding a Focus Sash, and you inflict enough damage to OHKO the target, then the Focus Sash will trigger, preventing the target from fainting, before it gets removed.
I've now explored both Montenevera and Alfornada for the first time (although I'll be doing more training before I challenge either gym), and I've got my Lucky Egg from Jacq. Annoyingly, the way to move items between party members is more complicated in this game than in previous ones, and I had...
I had an outbreak of Dunsparce today, so I spent ages catching and evolving them to see if I could get a Three-Segment Dudunsparce. Unfortunately I was unsuccessful, but I now have 30 spare Two-Segment Dudunsparce if anyone wants one.
Yesterday I rematched the Elite 4 with their second teams - it was hard work, but had the joy of Cynthia, clearly expecting a second Dragon Claw from my Dialga, switching her Togekiss into a Flash Cannon, which knocked it out. I also caught Heatran, so have now finished the national pokédex...
I have a load of spare shinies sitting in Pokémon Sword - I can't remember exactly which ones, but I could have a look, and maybe we could trade some. I already have shiny Charizard, Venusaur, Lopunny and Raichu.
I've defeated and caught the Titan Orthworm, and have been exploring all the areas you can access with Koraidon's jumping (including the top part of East Province Area One). I also evolved my Crocalor into Skeledirge. One thing I noticed - having not seen a single wild Orthworm prior to fighting...
Maschiff are in South Province Area Two. Pawniard are in South Province Area Five. The best place to get Toedscool is East Province Area One - you can find them earlier but they're really rare. Finizen are in the sea near Levincia, but you can get them in the shallow water by the beach - you...
Today I evolved my Gimmighoul, and I also evolved a Tandemaus - I got a Family of Three Maushold on my first go! I then caught another Tandemaus and evolved it to Family of Four Maushold, although interestingly, that form isn't showing up in my Pokédex. I'm not sure if that's a glitch - are...
Arrived at Levincia today and did some exploring. (I'll challenge the gym once I've done some more training.) I managed to find a shiny Grimer by the Levinica lighthouse (my fifth shiny in Scarlet); I also got a mass outbreak of Rotom, which is good, as those seem to be very rare.
I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but is there an effective way to get Toedscool to come out and battle you? I've seen them pop up on the map preview, but have never actually seen one. Are they just very rare, or do you have to do something like headbutt trees?
So I started Scarlet last week, and I am very much enjoying this so far. I've just beaten Cortondo gym, and am now continuing my training before going for the Titan Klawf.
Thoughts so far: the region is lovely - a nice variety of landscapes, even in the early parts, and is great fun to explore...
It should do. Event dens can be anywhere in the Wild Area, and the 5star ones often have Dynamax Level 10. I can't remember if there's a specific thing about event den Pokémon having good IVs; you may have just been lucky. But with everything else, the IVs shouldn't cast doubts on legitimacy.
