Pokemon Sword & Shield - HELP THREAD (Don't ask about Victini)

[KillerDraco]

The way it works is that Dynamax Adventures allows one Legendary Catch per species from Dynamax Adventures, but it doesn't count catches from outside of Dynamax Adventures, such as Pokemon Home transfers. So you're not locked out from encountering and capturing a Legendary if you transferred that same Legendary from a previous version. This, in turn, allows you to still reap the benefits of Dynamax Adventures' significantly higher shiny rate if you so choose to shiny hunt a Legendary.

Is Skwovet/Greedent’s hidden ability (Gluttony) only available through Ability Patch or can you get it through raids?

 

[Ishiftyounot]

Hello, apologies if this has already been asked and answered already but I skimmed over this thread and couldn't find an answer!

I've got an empty Shield file with the DLCs purchased on it, and I've never played the DLCs before. I'd like to work the Isle of Armor into my regular playthrough if only to use Kubfu (since I'd feel guilty raising it and then not adding it to my party even if the Slow experience group will annoy me with forced Exp. Share, but I digress) but I have no idea when the best times to do everything are? I looked about online but couldn't really find a concrete answer unfortunately. So does anyone know when I should start heading to the Isle, and when I ought to complete certain bits and pieces before returning to the main story?

It is available through raids indeed. Look for rare raids in either dlc area to be assured of finding one.

You first get access to the Isle of Armor right when you get to the Wild Area. The mons (both trainer battles and encounters) here are typically level 10-20, and level 25-30 when you get to the respective tower you choose to evolve Kubfu in. I’d recommend playing through Armor before getting to the regular Wild Area, then playing through the main Shield story. Once you get the box legendary after becoming Champion, there’s an additional storyline in the Isle of Armor waiting for you.

I am missing Groudon but its exclusive to Sword (I own Shield).
The only way to get is to to join a random dynamax advanture and hope to come across one?

Also - is it possible to find Lunaala/Soglelo in Dynamax advantures? Ialready have Lunaala that I received in the old lady's house

To get Groudon in Shield you would need to play Dynamax Adventures while connected to the internet(with a player from Sword).
There’s a thread here for Dynamax Adventures where you can post Pokémon you’re looking for:

https://forums.serebii.net/threads/dynamax-adventures-thread.678217/

Alternatively, you can always trade for one on the forums or using the GTS in HOME.

And as Prince Amrod said, Solgaleo and Lunala are both available.

Here’s a list containing all the available Dynamax Adventure legends:

Hi! I have a question about some pokemon obtainable by passed events.

I red that Victini, Keldeo and Volcanion cannot be shiny.

But in the database of serebii there is a * under the photo of all of them.

Serebii.net Eventdex - #0494 Victini

www.serebii.net

Serebii.net Eventdex - #0647 Keldeo

www.serebii.net

Serebii.net Eventdex - #0721 Volcanion

www.serebii.net

So.. Can they be shiny or not? Thanks!!

 

[Xaby]

Yeah all Pokémon have a shiny form in the code so as to avoid an error when one is called in. Safe to say so that when somebody hacks in such shiny Pokémon the game or somebody other's game doesn't crash or worse.

That said just because they're there doesn't mean that there is a legitimate way to get them, yet. Of course shiny sprites are also available for the reason that they could be potential future events that release them in their shiny forms.

 

[Rahus]

Is there a glitch with trading GameStop Zarude? A user here attempted to trade one to me and it was rejected because there was something wrong with their Zarude.

Anyone else experience this?

 

[Pokapeek]

Could someone help me with a trade? I have a few shiny legendries that I can't transfer over from home because they are not registered in my dex. They don't have to be shiny and I will trade them right back.

 

[GamingPlusPlus]

So I feel kinda dumb for thing this and there's no turning back or getting back,but is there a way I can get a master ball since I accidentally used the one for Crown Tundra Freezington Story for catching zapdos on isle of armour

You get one in the main game, one from Peony, and any more from doing the lotto thing from any PC.

They can be made via the Cram-O-Matic via the Isle of Armor too.

Never mind. It's not the case.

That article is wrong. You can’t get Master Balls from the Cram-O-Matic.

 

[GamingPlusPlus]

I used the one that peony gave for zapdos. Can I catch calyrex in a different pokeball?

Ah. So it's a complete waste of time, I take it? It's too bad.

 

[Det. Viper]

I caught mine in an ultra ball. If you are worried about it I have a spare master ball if you want to trade. But literally any ball could theoretically catch Calyrex

Yes but in those page show the events related at that pokemon, not their stats or sprite.
The blue star under the sprite refers that they can be shiny? Because if a pokemon was shiny granted the star is green.


And, why I cannot trade Entei and Suicune shiny events from the 4th gen? I can trade Raikou with no problem.
I cannot trade also Shiny Genesect jap.

Thanks!

Hmmm I can't see that asterisk you were pointing out, unless you were referring to their regional markers. In any case, since you were pointing to the events database pages, they will show you if the event IS shiny. Like Genesect's:
https://www.serebii.net/events/dex/649.shtml

As for event Pokémon trading, if you're doing a regular trade all Pokémon should be fine to trade. However if you're pertaining to GTS, then the Raikou you mentioned is the odd one here: event Pokémon cannot be stored or traded for in GTS.
