Pokemon Sword & Shield GENERAL DISCUSSION Thread [Spoilers]

[BCVM22]

Anyone know if you can only get the lucky egg after beating Leon? Every time I go into the seafood restaurant the chef is facing away from me like he's staring at the corner.

Correct - apparently you need the title of Galar Champion before the chef will trust you to make food deliveries.

So without too many story spoilers, what level should my team be before I enter the championship tournament in Wyndon?

I had plenty of success and a good time with a team that was mostly around the mid-forties at the start of my challenge.

I'd suggest high 40s - low 50s, so that you're somewhat on par with your opponents.

So do we know There is the floor picture with Pikachu/Charizard/Butterfree/Gengar/Machamp which was showed in The trailer and which started the Gigamax Gengar and Machamp guesses?

According to this video on Twitter, when you camp on a route, there’s a small chance of a wild Pokémon walking into your camp and asking to join you.

I recall someone mentioned this previously and saying why is no one talking about this? Can't remember who it was but I'm going to take a guess. I believe it was @EmeraldArcanine right?

Monumental sales actually. Biggest Nintendo launch of all time.

How much was it for the gen 7 games?

Sun and Moon hold the previous record for the franchise at 5.7 million over the course of about seven days, if I recall correctly.

Yeah that was me, I mentioned that I had to find out through Twitter mentions since it wasn't talked about much here. (I guess folks don't camp much like I thought or somethin'. Heh)

On the topic of good sales, I'm honestly kinda glad the game's been doing as well as it is. I don't regret spending my money either and I've been having a blast with it. (Outside the internet issues but that's known at this point)

I wonder if there's anything special about them.

 

[Zoruagible]

It's great that we can actually get more apricot balls this time and all, but I really wish they'd just let us buy them from a store already.
If some random guy can sell treats from all over the world in literally every single game, why can't we have this but with Pokeballs?

You can buy them with watts in the wild area though.

 

[RumbleintheDumbles]

It took me all this time since launch to realise that if you talk to other people's trainers in the wild area they can give you stuff. I feel rather silly right now.

 

[Emboar_Rulez]

Can someone please help me catch this Gigantamax Dreadnaw I keep loosing to it because the npcs Pokémon are weak and keep bringing Magikarp and Pikachu and they all faint before I can kill it.

I thought we could only purchase stuff like Quick Balls/Dusk Balls/Net Balls in the Wild Area?

question! Does anyone know how runigerus is pronounced?

I'm guessing like Cofagrigus but replace "Cofa" with "Rune". I've been going "ROON-ree-giss".
