I have a unique question regarding max soup

If used on pikachu will it be unable to evolve or does it lose the g-max form?

Same question applies for Kanto Meowth after breeding from persian.

GMax Pikachu, Meowth, & Eevee can’t evolve. If you reapply Max Soup on any of them, they’ll lose the GMax factor but will be able to evolve them into Raichu/Persian/an Eeveelution. You have to decide on GMax or evolution

And Max Soup doesn't work on any event Pikachu with a Cap?

It unfortunately doesn’t work on them

You can remove the gmax factor?! That’s quite awesome in a very small way.

Yep, just feed the Max Soup to a Pokémon that already has the Gigantamax Factor to remove it.

If only the Ability Patch could reverse Hidden Abilities in a similar way.

Pretty sure we can blame Machamp for that.

 

[Rahus]

Basically, you could take that Event G-Meowth and get rid of its G-Max form to evolve it into a Persian in a Cherish Ball.

Which is pretty neat.

It's definitely something else, as Copperajah, I'm sure, was NOT in the front position at that time. I'd have to try it again sometime, now that you pointed out it's not necessarily obvious.

No matter what, though, most of your player character will be covered up by the logo.

Just beat the game, it is definitely 6, 3, 2, 1, 4, 5 as the lineup order for the title screen!

BTW, If you put Corviknight in the 5th slot then the logo will not block it by much since Corviknight is levitating the entire time so you can still see the entire team! Really happy with the lineup I chose!

How do I get Victini?

I'm kidding, I'm kidding

Anyway, let's assume one's gotten 2 Zarude codes. Can the person redeem both in the same game?

Not typically. Usually once you’ve claimed a given Mystery Gift in your game, it cannot be claimed any additional times, regardless of whether you’re using the same code or not. That’s also why the game tells you to make certain that your Wi-Fi and battery are steady before claiming a given Gift.

Currently, you need Bank to get Victini. Victini needs to gotten from a previous event, I think I've got most of the European ones myself. https://www.serebii.net/events/dex/494.shtml

Indeed, however if you're willing to create second account on your Switch you can have redeem your second code on that second account.

It was a joke with the thread title, Nutter. I've gotten Victini already.

Anyway, thanks for the info.

Hi everyone,

I have a question! I got Zarude from a code from GameMania yesterday. I changed its nature to jolly with a mint, it had perfect IV's in HP, Atk and Def, so I hypertrained the other 3 stats for 6 perfect IV's (3 best + 3 hypertrained), EV trained it (252 in Atk, 252 in Spe, 4 in Sp.D and 2 in HP) and then went for an online multi-battle and ... I got the message there's something wrong with the pokémon!

Can't you use it online yet or did i do something wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It's a mythical Pokemon, they're generally banned from just about everything. Online battles, official competitions, you name it.

Casual Battles in Battle Spot/Victory Station doesn't ban Mythical Pokémon. I've used Keldeo and Magearna on it in the past; there shouldn't be a reason Zarude can't be used there unless they've specifically blocked it or haven't allowed it yet.

Fair enough. In that case it's probably because it's not universally available yet, given only certain regions (namely Japan) have gotten a legit chance to get it.

Anyone else running into issues with Pokemon Home wonder trade?

Ran into problems even trying to put up Pokemon, past being able to put up a Charmander earlier today.

Cleared out Home's cache and it's now just running very slow, so I'm thinking it's a server side issue on their end.

 

[Nutter t.KK]

Same here.

I had that issue this morning but the three went in fine on a second attempt. Server issue is likely if plenty are attempting to transfer from go
