I just watched a streamer catch a shiny Gmax Corviknight from a raid so given that I guess if you somehow find a shiny yourself you could possibly savescum it to let others catch it. On top of that I managed to actually join a randoms 5* ditto raid and it has 31,31,15,30,31,31 IV's, I'm really happy with that.

Did he get it first try?
And if not, does it stay shiny across different tries?
He threw his master ball at it lol. It was a viewer who actually found it and invited him, they said they failed to catch it first time but just reloaded so savescumming it is possible.
I mean you technically can solo the 5-star raids, but it's extremely difficult as the 'partner' AI is beyond stupid and dies very quickly (I often don't take any damage but still lose because the AI manages to faint 4 times). Then at times it is so stupid it actively works against you. I had a raid against a 5* Seismitoad (with its hidden ability - Water Absorb), and the game spawned Wishiwashi and Magikarp as my partners. They kept using Hydro Pump and healing the damn thing in the process.
I've beaten plenty by myself, but it is extremely hard, not in a good way. Don't expect to be able to take out 5* Gigantimax raids by yourself (even at L100 with a 4x type advantage).
Yes the matchmaking is beyond broken too, it is near impossible to get any help without actively seeking partners out on forums. Not acceptable netcode in a 2019 game.
That's disappointing apointing to hear, hopefully it's improved via patches. I really won't be happy to see things fixed in a third version.
Smart guy.
I know that savescumming the encounter is possible, but I was wondering if the PID(and thus the shininess) is fixed for the spawn. My guess is it isn't though.
Could someone help me fill my Pokedex? I would need the missing starters and sword exclusives. Even touch trading would be fine. I just need the Pokedex entries.
Awesome, I'm glad we have confirmation that they arent shiny locked

End game question
how many times you battle the ehm ex-champion in the Battle Tower? Just beat him for the second time but judging by his words it's not the last
Shift Gear on Bass Toxitricity makes no sense cause its exclusive to the amped up Form.
Just wanted to say how much fun I'm having with Shield. The intense negativity before release made me hesitant to get it but I'm so glad I did. I'd only really gotten into Gen 1 Pokemon and Let's Go Pikachu so I'm rather casual. I haven't had too much trouble with any of the gym battles until last night when I approached the 4th gym wrongly thinking it was poison type and brought all the wrong pokemon with me. Allister got me down to one pokemon, a Noctowl with little health left and his final pokemon tried to sleep my Noctowl. The Noctowl thankfully had the Insomnia ability and I was able to get one last hit in to take him down. By far my most thrilling victory yet. I was also thrilled to capture a Ponyta last night as my kids cheered me on but wow, that thing was tough to secure. Broke through multiple great balls and I finally had to catch it in a level ball. Now to get through work so I can get back to work on my pokedex grind!
Wait, most of the builds are for low key, is amped inferior?
It's unbelievable how rushed and incomplete this game feels at times
-You have stuff like Leon off-screening Dynamax Pokemon. This is the second time something is done off screen in this game.
-If you compare the 8th Gym versus the 1st Gym, you can see just how much the quality of the game drops the latter you get. The 1st gym had an cute challenge that feels like it at least took some effort to design, The 8th gym is a small room with 3 trainers....

Amped has shift gear, so you want Amped form natures and then use the mints to change them.
So it would still be Guitar Toxitricity but it works like a special moveset Low Key Form.
Just discovered there is NO multiplayer/co op battle tower in this game.
I could take Dexit, I could take the crap animations, I could take the weak story... but the battle tower is ALL me and my friends played together and what we trained teams for. Fuck off Gamefreak. I think I might finally be done with Pokemon.

Gotcha. I wonder why they didn't make Belch a sound based move, it would have been freaking crazy on Toxitricity.
So Falinks... the Pokedex entry confirms that it's five separate little Pokemon? Hatching an egg with five of these dudes popping out?
Suppose that's not any weirder than Exeggcute though.

Ugh that really sucks. It's so disappointing when a company doesn't support their releases.
I warned several times in threads that they gutted the tower.
On a different note, how long does it take to get G Max Pokemon when rare den farming? This is expensive on my raid points getting Wishing items, the rare spawns just arent giving me G Max Kingler. I hate this system.
You can check with the judge function on your boxes, to unlock it you have to win like 5 or 6 battles at the battle tower.
It seems fairly arbitrary. I've gotten G-Max Centiskorch raids pretty much every day for the past three days.
Bots are so damn weak in Raids. The times I've seen fucking Magickarp is absurd. Well at least he got Hydro Pump but still...
Awesome! My friend code is 5255-3390-0436
Is there one more person who wants to join a 5* GMax Butterfree?
Oh nice, I really should leave the wild area and do some of the post game stuff but these raids are too tempting.
The 7th gym is so baffling to me too
I'm a fan of the gen 1 thing of unifying the enemy team with the gym challenge in some way so it doesn't feel like you went out and accomplished too completely different disparate things just because one occasionally happened to get in the way of the other.
However why was the 7th gym so bad? This place is supposed to be a city, enemy team headquarters, and late-game gym all wrapped into one and it's literally less complex than any single one of those in any of the previous games. This would have been THE place to put a complicated maze of back alleys, seedy apartments, and empty lots as you tried to find your way to the leader while battling Team Yell.
But instead it takes place in fucking Dark Sun Gwyndolin's boss room.

Looks like it'll just be the three of us. I accepted your requests and will open the raid on a minute. Code will be 1479
It was basically the same idea as Po Town but not as good. Guzma is also cooler than Piers.
I can help if you haven't started yet. I sent a friend request.
I have a5* Gigalith raid too of anyone wants to help with that
Woo, caught it! :D
Thanks for helping out :D
Woo, caught it! :D
