One of the only two times it used Burn Up with me was a crit that didn't even knock the target out :/Yeah, but like, it does a lot of damage.
I'm not entirely sure if I fixed that for you or just said how afraid I am of Shiny Pokemon getting KOed.Ok just did the Buck and Marley sections and Marley retains her title as themost uselessbest partner. Her Arcanine's only attacking move is Burn Up, so it can literally only attack once.Did it really need both Howl and Leer??Can it really not KO Shinies??
I'm pretty sure the Tower doesn't have Tag Battles any more.Can u play the battle tower online coop with a friend?¿
so maybe i do have a way to spend my break...Getting Feebas is exactly how it was in DPPt
Wait, I thought you were pushing for options to turn affection bonuses and exp share off. The entire grand underground is optional, maybe people dont want to use the feature to relive the "original" experience?I can't get over how wild the Grand Underground is, but on the other hand...
Catching Shellos at the Valley Windworks is a fool's errand when you can just get a whole Gastrodon slightly later. Shellos' early game is rough anyway.
Similarly, getting a Murkrow in Eterna Forest is especially foolish when you can look for one with either Brave Bird or Drill Peck for much, much better STAB.
Matter of fact, in cases like these where an egg move is so pivotal for a mon, you straight up shouldn't catch a normal wild. There are several cases like this because the movepools are trash.
The combination of better options underground than in the overworld and guaranteed Egg Moves in a game where movepools are straight garbage makes the entire early game feel pointless.
Why exactly should I care about catching, say, an Onix in Oreburgh when I can just hold out a bit and get a Head Smash Rock Head Onix in the Under a couple of hours later?
It honestly feels like SwSh's raids. You really don't have a reason to catch random wild mons when the Raid ones got so many things to sweeten the deal.

The underground gives a notable step up due to the levels involved (provided you go there at the right time, after a while it evens out) and egg moves and so on.
Yes, there's clearly a correlation between these points, and in no way, shape, or form this is a massive reach.
But I did say the Grand Underground is busted af and makes the early game lackluster since you can pretty much catch straight upgrades as soon as you get to Eterna.The underground gives a notable step up due to the levels involved (provided you go there at the right time, after a while it evens out) and egg moves and so on.
It's not as overbearing as Exp All or Affection, but it's definitely a similar wheelhouse in terms of advantages, just one you have more control over in this game. I can see why someone would make that connection.
Because it's easy to read as "why would anyone not use this?!", with the implication being you should just use it instead, which you could apply to exp share or affection or whatever, probablyBut I did say the Grand Underground is busted af and makes the early game lackluster since you can pretty much catch straight upgrades as soon as you get to Eterna.
What exactly does that have to do with the consensus pretty much everywhere you discuss this game that Exp. Share and Affection should be optional?
I have not played the remakes but skimming through Serebii's articles resulted in me saying that Underground is a solution to everything. Need a TM? Better start digging. Want an item for Ramanas legendaries? Grab that pickaxe. Require an evolution item for Electabuzz? The shovel is right there, my boy. Would you like to acquire some egg moves?

Have you caught or defeated Heatran at Stark Mountain?Apologies if this has been covered but I haven't been able to find it anywhere. Do we know what the triggers are for E4 Round 3 and the postgame Dawn/Lucas battle? Serebii implies that the former just happens automatically after beating the Platinum rematch teams and straight-up falsely claims that Dawn/Lucas battles you as soon as you talk to them after entering the Hall of Fame and get through their other dialogue.
I'm kinda wondering if the D/L battle is a weekend-only thing like Barry, hence why the people who raced through the main game in a single day were able to trigger it.
I have now and I'm planning on checking if that changed anything soon, but in Platinum you don't have to catch Heatran to trigger the level increase (you just have to get Charon arrested) and I'd done literally every other part of the quest before checking the E4 last time, so I feel like gating it behind an otherwise optional catch would be weird.Have you caught or defeated Heatran at Stark Mountain?
I don't have the game (yet) so I can't test it for myself but I remember Vs. Seeker rematches and the Platinum E4/Cynthia upgraded rematch levels in the original DPP were gated behind story checkpoints, and the final checkpoint for Vs. Seeker Trainers and E4/Cynthia to reach their ultimate levels/teams was completing the Stark Mountain quest, ie go and catch Heatran. I do not know if the second route E4 is gated behind this too, but there is a very good chance that Heatran is the checkpoint that triggers the ultimate E4 Round 3 and Dawn//Lucas post-game battles.
I believe this means it will never be shiny.Out of interest, is the Manaphy Egg shiny-locked in BDSP? I know they fixed the glitch that lets you trade it to someone else and bypass the shiny check a couple of games back, just curious if it can hatch shiny here.
