If you want to get Dynite ore fast, your best option is to do as many dynamax as you can with others. The more you do, the more dynite ore you’ll wind up getting depending if you complete through it all or not.


Also just to let you all know, you can get the R-D and R-E hoodie if you show the stylist in Wyndon your regieleki or regidrago. If you don’t have one of the other, you’ll have to get it off of someone else for a bit or see if someone can trade you one to keep. You’ll also have to meet the stylist in Isle of Armor first before he goes to Wyndon.

"In that case, would trading across accounts work?"

Yes, that's how I do it. But, as mentioned, to catch Calyrex and Glastrier/Spectrier you need to have the game beaten through the Champion. So you have to actually beat the game twice.

actually post-game is you clear the game once. doing it twice is both story and all-star.

for me, i didn't transfer my own zacian through pokemon home because i needed the hold item so i had to get help from supersonic55 to transfer both zacian and hold item together.

The other thing about glastrier and spectrier is that they don't get ribbons, EVs, and friendship while they're fused to calyrex so you have to unfuse both calyrex and glastrier/spectrier first in order to gain those benefits, but it's a cost of calyrex's moves too if you're using PP up / max, and TRs so it's best to stock up these items as much as possible.

Might be best to just keep Clayrex fused with either one, that’s what I’m gonna do. As for powering it up, might only try to get its level to 100 and that’s it. I still have to get a Glastrier and Regidrago of my own.

Also if anyone’s wondering what all of the Ash’s Pikachu codes are, Here’s a link to them all. You have until November 30 to enter all of them.


So apparently if you do a dynamax adventure with other people and you enter in a legendary raid with a Pokémon you already caught, the Pokémon will run away after you defeat it. I did a Tapu Lele raid with other people and it ran away after it was defeated. You can keep it marked in your dynamax adventure and go back to it, but that’s only best for if you have friends or others that don’t have the legendary, you won’t be able to catch another one yourself sadly.

supersonic55 You saved me with those Pikachu codes. Thank you!

So I'm going through a Nuzlocke challenge of White right now and I'm trying to decide which Pokémon to use to challenge the Elite Four. I lost most of my best while training in Victory Road (I got cocky and made some poor decisions over the course of 4 hours), so I'm down to about eleven non-Legendaries to use. Could I get some recommendations or suggestions?

I'm currently planning on using Amoonguss, Excadrill, Seismatoad, Chandelure and Bisharp, as those are my strongest with type advantages against the Four. My options for the last slot are Audino, Jellicent, Braviary, Crustle, Stunfisk, Shelmet and (if I waited about a week) Volcarona. Any suggestions on who to use and/or replace?


Also, I admit that I never finished the Ultra Beast section of Sun, so when I encountered Xurkitree my first reaction was a "WHAT IS THAT?!"

Braviary for sure. Why would you need to wait a week for Volcarona?

Thanks! Just got Larvesta. At the rate that I'm training them, Lv. 59 is a long way off.

If you guys are gonna get zarude, well probably you guys are out of luck for that. I've been expanding my search for a zarude code even though the support was no help at all and there are other ppl having the same problem as i do. The support's response was no help at all even though all other responses are the same as other ppl besides i wouldn't contact support if i were you guys if it's gonna be the same response as i did.

I contacted support and I was able to get one but it was awhile back. They must’ve ran out of codes to distribute since a ton of people are having the same issue.

Things have been quiet lately, but we’re getting closer to Pokemon Day! Hoping we get some new info on games, mobile games and such during the time period!

Today I learned that Pokemon Day exists! Now excited a bit too.

Hahah I’m assuming it’s on their anniversary or something, right?

February 27 I believe is Pokémon Day. So hopefully we’ll get a Pokémon based directly possibly beforehand.

Well We won't know what they have in store for us and hopefully some official news and word about the zarude code issue that's been going on for us at the US knowing that we can't get any replacement codes from support and we can't get'em off from the trade since they're trade locked for some reason. I do believe there will be events involved on pokemon day for pokemon go, masters, and cafe mix,

Anyway as for zarude goes, well the thing about being it trade locked for some unknown reason is that there are hacked zarude(s) out there, but i think that the game shouldn't have identified the official zarude(s) as hacked pokemon. for now, the ppl in EU are getting their zarude. The other hopes for us in the US is getting the dada zarude if it ever comes to the theaters and allow it to be distributed on wi-fi connection rather than a code for 1 person to use.

We’re most likely not going to get a rerun for Zarude in awhile and if anything, we’re more likely to get a code for Zarude Dada but we’ll just have to wait until we get an actual response from the Pokémon Company. If we do get a rerun, we’ll have to hope it’s not another newsletter and if it is then we’ll have to hope we actually get it this time. It would’ve been better if we got Zarude from a mystery gift instead of a code from the newsletter through email.

Since Europe now is getting the newsletter, they have to hope they don’t run into the same issue we got.

New Pokémon Snap launches April 30th. Looks like another game to add onto the list! We’re also going to be getting a bunch of Pokémon details all throughout the year and most likely more info on games and such during Pokémon Day.

Man, everything is just shadow-dropped onto us!

Gonna be a busy year in games for me. Mario 3D World next month, Balan Wonderworld in March, now Pokemon Snap in April...

This month for saving up for all of those!

There's that wild rumor about D/P remake going around, but we won't know until it's official and/or announced it on pokemon day.

It’s a possibility that’ll be announced in next month’s direct if there is one. We might possibly get a Pokémon Day themed direct next month. We’re supposed to get Pokémon themed announcements throughout the year so anything is possible.

Got mad nostalgia and love for D/P but man I'm not looking forward to GF inevitably butchering the remakes in some form. Whether that be shoehorning in Dynamax or removing Battle Frontier because "children don't have the patience for it". Keeping my expectations very low.

New Pokemon Snap looks absolutely fantastic though, if the main games had even a fraction of the graphical and animation quality I'd be jumping right back in. Plus they put the BEST Johto starter right on box art!

I love the old Pokémon snap and get nostalgia from it a ton! Played it on the Wii VC and still have it iirc. My dad got it for me I think before I really got into Pokémon (which was 2010 when I was 6 gosh time has flown) and I believe I was 4 or 5 and enjoyed playing it!

I still have the physical copy of pokemon snap, but it's not mine since it was borrowed. I believe it belonged to a friend of mine and my brother's, but we haven't heard since and then i have it on the wii VC since i care for the data and having my own file and in case if my friend's physical copy goes missing.

The new pokemon snap is gonna be more fun than the old one. At least we don't have to play as the protagonist from the old pokemon snap, todd. I believe the protagonist in new pokemon snap is different, but choosing your character will be similar to other protagonists from other pokemon games. There's no reason to pick which though and as i usually say this, everything is all about looks.

My Nephew wanted to try pokemon snap so I had to let him play the old one. At first, he wasn't used to the reverse camera controls so i had to make the normal camera controls for him, but of course the controls sensitivity is still high so it's not that easy for him to get used to that. He did 2 courses so probably he'll have a lot to learn.

I was thinking that this thread would get more livelier if we talked about other pokemon games in general, but it's just the main series. there's not much to talk about at this point besides the mobile pokemon and spin-off games. The only mobile pokemon games that are in trend atm was pokemon go and masters although I wouldn't still recommend pokemon masters at this point until they remove the stamina system. me and supersonic55 knows how that feels, but it's just that 60% of the ppl wanted to keep stamina system going although regardless of the changes, we can't keep up with the events and increase level cap of the sync pairs at the same time in terms of the stamina costs being too expensive (or rather absurd). If the situation improves, then maybe we can recommend it to you guys.

I still got my Pokémon Snap for Nintendo 64 and I remember playing it years ago. It’s nice now that they’re bringing the game back and making a brand new version. Definitely love to try it out!

And there’s literally people rioting on other forms of social media about this and it’s just absurd... People do not realize how unbalanced it’s making the game and we can’t even keep up with all the events they add in the game let along boost up level caps since they just recently bumped them up to 130. With this stamina system being intact, it’s limiting everything we’re getting done yet others are fine with this and act as if they see “no issues or problems” with it. I just really hope they make some major changes/remove the stamina system soon but with this 60% of people wanting the stamina system kept, seems like chances of it being removed are slim now but we can only hope for a removal soon.

Hahah I've been a youngin for a while but I'll be doing the same in a couple of years.
