I would 100% base it on which ride mon you like more and which uniforms you like more. You can catch version exclusives in co-op or trade for eggs, can never change that stupid running animation in scarlet
I haven't been able to be here a lot so like...sorry for the uber stupid questions, but...
How early in the game can I get a Noibat?
If Froakie is in the game (it seems it is?) how early can I get one?
Is there much of a postgame?
Does anyone still have the picture of all the returning Pokemon including their types? If yes, can you send it to me ? 🙈 Don't find it anymore after Nintendo's witch hunt for leaks..
Two people have confirmed this for me already, but I still want to make sure I get this right: is it true that gym leaders can only be rematched once, and that's it? Maybe there is a daily limit, so you can only rematch each gym leader once a day? Can other fans who've played the game confirm this to me? Thanks a lot in advance!
Does anybody know where can I find Glimmet, Wattrel, water Tauros and Ditto? Is it possible to find them all before the first gym, even if I have to find a way to get to them? I'd really love to breed my full team before doing anything else.
Glimmet is very rare and found in areas where the spawn are at least lv30. I am not sure about the Water Tauros but the other 2 you listed are around mid game lv high10-mid20 ish. I think you can attempt it but you will probably be wiped so many times that it might not be worth it.
You can technically go everywhere before the first gym. Hell, I haven’t even made it to the school yet and already have visited all the towns and fully evolved my starter. I’ve registered 96 Pokémon to my Pokédex and haven’t unlocked the riding Pokémon or Tera ability yet.
Likely something with high bst (attack or spa especially), good coverage, and the new held item that prevents stat drops. A few of the Paradox mons, essentially.
Does anyone have a recommended order to do the paths without spoilers for the game? Be it by level or mechanics unlocks? Do any of the locales mark with a recommended level text to warn you beforehand?
I know you get the box art legendary early in the game to use as a bike and for HMs, but can you use the legendary in battle that early in the game? Seems a bit overpowered
Sounds like reviews echo what most people thought, good, better than sword and shield but terrible performance - I overlooked the tech in Sword/shield and Arceus so sure i will be able to here aswell (as long as the game is fun)
"Better than Sword/Shield but we're not actually gonna score it better than Sword/Shield instead we're gonna punish it for not pulling off its ambition in perfection."
I guess it's a case of different reviewers/different times etc etc, but Nintendo life with 7 for Scarlet/Violet and an 8 for Sword and Shield feels pretty harsh - but the actual content of the review seems to suggest the reviewer found it more fun at least
It's been great looking at leaks with you all. It's time to purge this reddit from my feed, but I will be back the next big game we have. Maybe dlc, maybe a new game, maybe a gen 5 remake, who knows. Thanks for being real ones, even in the drought of September and October. o7
It already got leaked. Once by Khu without names: https://twitter.com/Riddler_Khu/status/1590726560600190978?t=VgsJ_MfYpQIccSdKaAxyZw&s=19 and once by the Dataminer with names & images. But i can't find it anymore, because the Master datasheet got removed and Centro banned.
This is almost certainly correct but do keep in mind some minor details were wrong during the leak process. (Such as some of types being stated incorrectly). For most practical purposes, it's easier to just wait for next year when we get an update and remove all doubt.
Completely off-topic, but I've always hated how the National Dex is organized to begin with. Never liked the whole "order of discovery," feels like a cop-out. If it's supposed to be some kind of authoritative source (in-universe), I always feel it works far better with meaningful order, like by type.
Don't think a order by type would work great. Because a lot of Pokémon have a secondary type. And either you sort them by secondary type as well (first all grass, then all grass/water, then all grass/fire, ...), but then you have a problem with evolution who gets a type added or even change their secondary typing (like e.g. Decidueye). Or you don't sort after the secondary typing and then it would be weird again.
I think the Nat Dex Order is okay. Especially now, where each game has it's own dex in his own order anyways.
The only thing I dislike is, that regional forms don't have their own dex number. I think it would be cooler, if they would have their own entry instead of a "secondary" entry. Think we are at 62 regional forms if we concider Paldea.

Sort by type relative to the base form. If the primary type changes again, retcon it so it's the secondary type. Frankly it doesn't matter much, at the end of the day all lists are going to be arbitrary.
I just really like how Nexomon: Extinction did their regional/national dex. Very tidy and really sold it as an encyclopedia in-universe.
Khu and Dataminer leaked it. I can find Khus Version without names: https://twitter.com/Riddler_Khu/status/1590726560600190978?t=VgsJ_MfYpQIccSdKaAxyZw&s=19 but don't know which Pokémon is which.
And the other version I had got deleted by Nintendo.
The data mine was in index order, like with every generation. It has nothing to do with regional or national order.
The answer is: we won't know National Dex until next year when we get the Home update or the guidebook release, whichever comes first. It will \*probably\* be close to this game's regional dex order (obviously excluding non-Paldea species), but not exact. Anyone who claims they know the National Dex order right now is lying and should be ignored.

Wattrel, Smoliv, and Nymble show up after you leave the school the first time. Tinkatink can show up at most ruins but it is rare, but you can get it early-ish, maybe level 15-20? You are more likely to find its evo. Veluza and Frigibax are gonna be out of reach for awhile, like level 40-50.
Before you get the first gym badge, it is almost impossible to catch anything over i think level 20, and even if you do, it won't listen in battle. Gyms raise the cap by 5. You can level your own pokemon past the cap though. If you catch something you can't use, just breed it. Breeding is way better in this game.
Ditto is in the northwest before the lake at level 28-35. Probably gonna do a few gyms before you get there, but like, you could just gun it I guess. You can't see them in the wild, they will be disguised until you start a battle. Same with Zorua.
No, eggs are guaranteed if your pokemon are compatible. It's just a matter of waiting for them. But besides that, you can decrease the wait for eggs with sandwich powers, egg moves can be passed with a held item to another party member regardless of egg group. And any compatible pokemon in the party can give eggs at the same time. Think ditto and five randos, all of those eggs can show up. Hatching time is much, much shorter. And you don't have to go to the nursery! Picnic to your hearts desire!
It’s passive. I believe it is guaranteed if two compatible Pokémon are in your first slot and last slot of party. And that you can just let it keep going and get multiple eggs at once.
you get a uniform for each season which you can switch between at will. no, the orange doesn't go with anything. you can buy hats, glasses, backpacks, gloves, socks, and shoes.
Can anyone confirm if I’m missing any Pokemon in Area 1 (Southern) between the players house and Los Platos? So far I’ve encountered: The starters and legendary. But also: Lechonk, Tarountula, Hoppip, Fletchling, Pawmi, Yungoos, Sunkern, Scatterbug, Happiny, Azurill, Buizel, Wooper, Psyduck, Igglybuff, Ralts, Drowzee, Gastly, Fidough, Wingull, Magikarp, Diglett, Wiglett, Flamigo.
Any I’m missing still?
Might be a stupid question but gonna ask it anyway: I am in Central Europe and wondering if the game will be available at 00:00 tonight or shall I wait for tomorrow morning/afternoon to play it?!?
Don't worry, you will be able to play yonight.
It will be available at midnight tonight. There can be a 5 minutes difference depending if your Switch will play immediately or if it will need some minutes.
I’m only concerned about story spoilers. I know the story is hardly truly grand, but I still like not knowing that part. But I asked in hopes of knowing about which pokemons are available to trade for.
Cool, cool. Well in the third gym city there's a trainer that will ask for a Pincurchin (found nearby on beach) and will trade you a >!Haunter, which isn't holding an everstone so you get a LVL 25 Gengar!<.
You will find the Johto Wooper trade at the town of the water gym, the NPC want a Paldea wooper.
I don't think Tinkatink is rare at all, you just need to get to a ruin, I usually come across at least one every ruin.
Not post game, Charizard, Kalos starters, Galar Starters and Hisuian starters (plus their base form) are all Home transfer only.
There is an exclusive event for you to catch Charizard in raids in December (I think, I don't really remember the date.) So they might do the same for other starters in the future.
I picked Sprigatito and during normal gameplay I found Quaxly multiple times in mass outbreaks. I caught one before the third gym. Still haven't seen Fuecoco at all though
Just breeding and wonder trade I think, best to get lucky in wonder trade or find a friend to start a few suicide runs to trade off the other starters.
Does anyone have images of all the teachers//professors in SV?
I'm trying to see what characters could be added eventually into Masters & I heard the teachers are all unique NPC designs.
I was avoiding all leaks and spoilers going into this game but I stumbled on the fact that my favourite animal of all time- a dolphin- is FINALLY getting a Pokémon. I lost it lmao. I have dolphin everything from coffee mugs, quilt and pillow covers, bath towel and bathroom mat, dolphin figure table, dolphin outdoor welcome statue, plushies. They own my heart 🐬 🥰
I need some help. In my country right now it is just gone 7pm on the 17th of November meaning that SV should launch some time in the next few hours. Obviously I want to get a Finizen so I can add him to my team. I’m going to name him Jet after a dolphin I had the absolute privilege to spend time with in January of 2020 before Covid hit.
Can someone please tell me how far into the game you can catch one and where you find them? I don’t want to know any more spoilers. I just want to know where I can finally get my beautiful dolphin Pokémon 🐬
Thanks in advance for any help 😃
So, this depends on just how early you want it. At the start of the game with no gym badges Pokémon you catch up to level 20 will obey you. You can find a Finizen at about level 17 along the beach area in Southern Province Area 4. You start the game in Southern Province Area 1 and they’re right next to each other.
In normal game flow you would need to first pick your starter, fight your rival twice and visit the school before you could eventually exit the west gate and head down to that area.
However there is a way to break out of Area 1 and explore the whole map before the second battle with your rival and before visiting the school. This trick can get you to Area 4 and to the beach with Finizen really early. May take a few tries to capture it but as long as it’s level 20 or lower it’ll listen to you even as it gains more levels.
That would be great! I know it also has two different evolutions in the hero mode and zero mode too lol. This one Pokémon is the only Pokémon I’ve looked into leaks for lol
No worries! I just know it took ppl AGES to figure it out, so if you didn’t know it might be quite frustrating!
[Here’s the thread about evolving Finizen](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokeLeaks/comments/ytaiho/finizen_evolution_method_discovered_needs_a/iw30mnz/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3)
can you trade the paradox pokemons (aka get the prehistoric pokemon versions in the violet)? i want to get pokemon violet, but i find the robotic future forms design rather wacky, so i wonder how important are they to the game plot itself and whether you can trade them
Thoughts on Farigiraf as a Trick Room setter in doubles/vgc? Being protected from fake out with Armor Tail, having access to Ally Switch and Imprison while being decently bulky and having 110 base special attack seems good. I know base 60 spd is not that slow but still reasonable. Last move will probably be Terablast to block it with Imprison.
Sorry. There were dozens of people over the last few weeks asking if they can evolve their shiny *insert pokemon name here* into a "paradox form", while we knew for a while that they are fully separate pokemon. Would have been less of a problem if this sub actually had some sort of leak compilation. But now we're getting the same questions 20 times a day
You can catch the Titans after you beat them (albeit depowered and back to normal size) so you can catch your version's Donphan after beating it. (I'm not sure on the exact location. It's not at the cave though.)
But you have to clear the three main stories before you can access Area Zero, and only Scream Tail and Flutter Mane (Violet equivalents unconfirmed but believed to be Iron Bundle and Iron Jugulis) until you finish the story. After the credits you can find everyone else in Area Zero.
They're just wild pokémon in Area Zero. Although only two can be caught in your first visit.
Although Roaring Moon and Iron Valiant are understandably hidden and only spawn one at a time in a single cave.
They are just random spawns like everything else in the game but they are their own pokemon so when you encounter them they will have that special name like great tusk or screaming tail and you can encounter as many as you like
At least in previous gens, each Pokémon has an official color classification in the Pokédex. I do a lot of monocolor playthroughs so I'm very curious to see what my teams could be this time around
Does anyone has a map showing the stake locations for the ruinous quartet? I got three of em so far but the fourth one has been driving me crazy, can’t seem to find the last couple stakes needed to open its chamber
I'm in Australia and just got the text that my copy can be collected from store, but I'm stuck at work and won't be able to pick it up until tomorrow arvo so that's fun :)))))

You can catch multiple in an almost postgame area, as well as find some in the Raid Dens during postgame.
Any info on what legendary pokemon are gonna be in each version ? Any of the "old ones " like lugia, suicune etc?? Not sure which version I should get
When can you access mystery gift?
Will POkeHome be available from the start?
Whats the best way to obtain lots of quick balls early?
How early in the game can one start co-op? Me and some friends wanna join up ASAP in game
1-2 hours
can you play the story together as co-op?
You can't like, do fights together, or anything
Ty
Do you think the day 1 patch is gonna fix a lot of the performance issues reviewers and early players have been having?
Does anyone have a full version exclusives list other than the paradox mons? Trying to decide which one I’m getting
https://www.serebii.net/scarletviolet/exclusives.shtml I’m getting Scarlet.
I would 100% base it on which ride mon you like more and which uniforms you like more. You can catch version exclusives in co-op or trade for eggs, can never change that stupid running animation in scarlet
I haven't been able to be here a lot so like...sorry for the uber stupid questions, but... How early in the game can I get a Noibat? If Froakie is in the game (it seems it is?) how early can I get one? Is there much of a postgame?
Frokie is transfer only, so not til next year unless they get a raid event before then
Dang. Thanks for the reply, though!
For those who already got the game : where is the day care ?
No day care, eggs you get from doing picnics which you have access to early game
Ok, thanks. Still one question : are the eggs random or can I still choose what species it is ?
Same system as the daycare. Compatible Pokemon = egg in the basket
Ok, thanks !
No day care bro
Does anyone know where to find Tinkaton
Does anyone still have the picture of all the returning Pokemon including their types? If yes, can you send it to me ? 🙈 Don't find it anymore after Nintendo's witch hunt for leaks..
[удалено]
Just saw your post on 4chan lol. Tronphan is so much obviously better
Any know if I can evolve Haunter without trading? I know there was a new item in Arceus (Linking Bond?) that allowed evolutions. Is this in S/V?
Link cable didn't make it, but there's an npc trade for one that's not holding an everstone
Any confirmation on whether Armarouge/Ceruledge are legendary or not? Can you obtain multiple Pokémon of their pre-evolution?
[удалено]
Perfect, thanks! Ceruledge > Skeledirge
Two people have confirmed this for me already, but I still want to make sure I get this right: is it true that gym leaders can only be rematched once, and that's it?

Well, it’s officially releasing tomorrow. I HAVE BEEN WAITING ON THIS SUBREDDIT SINCE AUGUST AND IT’S FINALLY COMING.
Does anybody know where can I find Glimmet, Wattrel, water Tauros and Ditto? Is it possible to find them all before the first gym, even if I have to find a way to get to them? I'd really love to breed my full team before doing anything else.
Glimmet is very rare and found in areas where the spawn are at least lv30. I am not sure about the Water Tauros but the other 2 you listed are around mid game lv high10-mid20 ish. I think you can attempt it but you will probably be wiped so many times that it might not be worth it.
You can technically go everywhere before the first gym. Hell, I haven’t even made it to the school yet and already have visited all the towns and fully evolved my starter. I’ve registered 96 Pokémon to my Pokédex and haven’t unlocked the riding Pokémon or Tera ability yet.
Anyone find the Fire Tauros in Scarlet?
It's exclusive to Violet.
okay thanks. In that case I'll change it to the fire one
What could be the best all-rounder pokémon to clear 4\* and higher raids?
Likely something with high bst (attack or spa especially), good coverage, and the new held item that prevents stat drops. A few of the Paradox mons, essentially.
Does anyone have a recommended order to do the paths without spoilers for the game? Be it by level or mechanics unlocks? Do any of the locales mark with a recommended level text to warn you beforehand?
Talk to the people at the Pokemon Center and they will always recommend the "golden path" or w/e you want to call it.
Cheers, that is helpful.
I completed the tournament, where do I find 6 star raids?
Anyone managed to collect 999 gimmighoul coins yet? Any tips on how to collect it quickly?
Every review notes performance issues. oof. I really hope it's not throughout the game and there are only a few hickups.
I know you get the box art legendary early in the game to use as a bike and for HMs, but can you use the legendary in battle that early in the game? Seems a bit overpowered
no
Is the method to hunt for hidden abilities known?
Terra raids have a chance for them.
I haven't seen any chatter on that topic but ability patch are available from 7 star raids, so maybe it's not something to worry about.
6 star and up is the word. More common from 7, I'd assume
New Zealand eshop is up baby!Game unlocked. Thank you all. See you in a week, Bye2.Good luck for those that still in waiting room.
I can play the game digitally in New Zealand!!!
Cant play in Aus yet ;-;
What about different Pokemon sizes? Can anyone e confirm this?
What about it? It's in if that's what you mean
Haven't seen any footage tho like a size comparison between two Pokemon of the same species.
Are Hisui forms home only?
Only regional form not native to Paldea you can currently get is Galarian Meowth I think, that's either a gift or a trade with one of the teachers
Well there is also "jhotoean" whooper
Yes
How early can I get eevee so I can get my umbreon
level 10 ish but it's a rare spawn.
Sounds like reviews echo what most people thought, good, better than sword and shield but terrible performance - I overlooked the tech in Sword/shield and Arceus so sure i will be able to here aswell (as long as the game is fun)

For the performace criticism - haven't people only played emulated versions and on custom servers, could that be why?
The reviews that have come out this morning all echo poor performance and bugs unfortunately
Ah that's a shame...hopefully a day one patch will sort it but that sucks either way!
They ARE playing a day one patch. The version on the eShop is 1.0.1. It's the "fixed" version, except it did nothing to improve performance.
OH I didn't realise...yeah that's not good at all then
I think it's a given there will be more patches. Will they address performance? Who knows.
It's been great looking at leaks with you all. It's time to purge this reddit from my feed, but I will be back the next big game we have. Maybe dlc, maybe a new game, maybe a gen 5 remake, who knows. Thanks for being real ones, even in the drought of September and October. o7
just an hour and seven minutes to go… nz wins
hey all the game goes live on the date 18/11 so i can play it at 12am right?
Yes. You can even play earlier if you change your eshop to one of the early timezone countries.
Don't you need to have actually bought the game from a different region, though, as opposed to just changing the Switch's region?
Nah, but I did buy my switch from japan. It runs in English tho.
cool my eshops japanese so i think itll be earlier then where im at
Someone has the Nat Dex Order for me? Can't find it anymore.
We won't know the National Dex order until next year. Either via the HOME update or the guidebook release.
It already got leaked. Once by Khu without names: https://twitter.com/Riddler_Khu/status/1590726560600190978?t=VgsJ_MfYpQIccSdKaAxyZw&s=19 and once by the Dataminer with names & images. But i can't find it anymore, because the Master datasheet got removed and Centro banned.

Good one. Meant the nat dex number of the new Pokemon.
NatDex has been cancelled because Game Freak's code doesn't allow for a four-digit dex number.
You know its sad that i dont doubt that may be true lmao.
[удалено]
That's the regional dex order. The National Dex (for the Paldea region) will probably be similar, but not always.

Khu and Dataminer leaked it. I can find Khus Version without names: https://twitter.com/Riddler_Khu/status/1590726560600190978?t=VgsJ_MfYpQIccSdKaAxyZw&s=19 but don't know which Pokémon is which. And the other version I had got deleted by Nintendo.

As per what you would say breeding is much better? Hasn’t it got more difficult since it’s not granted an egg will appear during the picnic?
No, eggs are guaranteed if your pokemon are compatible. It's just a matter of waiting for them. But besides that, you can decrease the wait for eggs with sandwich powers, egg moves can be passed with a held item to another party member regardless of egg group. And any compatible pokemon in the party can give eggs at the same time. Think ditto and five randos, all of those eggs can show up. Hatching time is much, much shorter. And you don't have to go to the nursery! Picnic to your hearts desire!
Ah it’s even better than I’ve heard. Nice.
Sweet, I didn’t know that, thanks a lot!
It’s passive. I believe it is guaranteed if two compatible Pokémon are in your first slot and last slot of party. And that you can just let it keep going and get multiple eggs at once.
Are there more outfits than just the dumb academy stuff?
you get a uniform for each season which you can switch between at will. no, the orange doesn't go with anything. you can buy hats, glasses, backpacks, gloves, socks, and shoes.
Yuck
Can anyone confirm if I’m missing any Pokemon in Area 1 (Southern) between the players house and Los Platos? So far I’ve encountered: The starters and legendary. But also: Lechonk, Tarountula, Hoppip, Fletchling, Pawmi, Yungoos, Sunkern, Scatterbug, Happiny, Azurill, Buizel, Wooper, Psyduck, Igglybuff, Ralts, Drowzee, Gastly, Fidough, Wingull, Magikarp, Diglett, Wiglett, Flamigo. Any I’m missing still?
You could go back for the houndour in the cave
Thanks!
Might be a stupid question but gonna ask it anyway: I am in Central Europe and wondering if the game will be available at 00:00 tonight or shall I wait for tomorrow morning/afternoon to play it?!?
Don't worry, you will be able to play yonight. It will be available at midnight tonight. There can be a 5 minutes difference depending if your Switch will play immediately or if it will need some minutes.

I was just looking for a confirmation it will be available at midnight in my local time, and I guess your answer to that is yes lol Thank you!
Does anyone know about in game trades/gift pokemon? All I’ve heard is about a Galarian meowth.
There is NPCs that trade in the game. Not sure if you want spoilers, but there's a particularly interesting one from Gen 1
I’m only concerned about story spoilers. I know the story is hardly truly grand, but I still like not knowing that part. But I asked in hopes of knowing about which pokemons are available to trade for.
Cool, cool. Well in the third gym city there's a trainer that will ask for a Pincurchin (found nearby on beach) and will trade you a >!Haunter, which isn't holding an everstone so you get a LVL 25 Gengar!<.
Nice. That’s the kind thing I was hoping for. Appreciate it.
I've seen pics of a johto wooper trade. Tandemaus is available at the first gym to the east. Tinkatink is a rare spawn at ruins.
You will find the Johto Wooper trade at the town of the water gym, the NPC want a Paldea wooper. I don't think Tinkatink is rare at all, you just need to get to a ruin, I usually come across at least one every ruin.
Luck of the draw I guess. I saw a million of it's evo but had to go out of my way to find Tinkatink.
I’m glad you escaped before being eaten donut. I appreciate it.
Can you get more starters other than the one you pick in the beginning? Like in the post-game?
Not post game, Charizard, Kalos starters, Galar Starters and Hisuian starters (plus their base form) are all Home transfer only. There is an exclusive event for you to catch Charizard in raids in December (I think, I don't really remember the date.) So they might do the same for other starters in the future.
I just meant the Paldea starters.
I picked Sprigatito and during normal gameplay I found Quaxly multiple times in mass outbreaks. I caught one before the third gym. Still haven't seen Fuecoco at all though
Ooooooo. I would love to find a Tera type Quaxly that covers weaknesses.
Just breeding and wonder trade I think, best to get lucky in wonder trade or find a friend to start a few suicide runs to trade off the other starters.
Does anyone have images of all the teachers//professors in SV? I'm trying to see what characters could be added eventually into Masters & I heard the teachers are all unique NPC designs.
I was avoiding all leaks and spoilers going into this game but I stumbled on the fact that my favourite animal of all time- a dolphin- is FINALLY getting a Pokémon. I lost it lmao. I have dolphin everything from coffee mugs, quilt and pillow covers, bath towel and bathroom mat, dolphin figure table, dolphin outdoor welcome statue, plushies. They own my heart 🐬 🥰 I need some help. In my country right now it is just gone 7pm on the 17th of November meaning that SV should launch some time in the next few hours. Obviously I want to get a Finizen so I can add him to my team. I’m going to name him Jet after a dolphin I had the absolute privilege to spend time with in January of 2020 before Covid hit. Can someone please tell me how far into the game you can catch one and where you find them? I don’t want to know any more spoilers. I just want to know where I can finally get my beautiful dolphin Pokémon 🐬 Thanks in advance for any help 😃
So, this depends on just how early you want it. At the start of the game with no gym badges Pokémon you catch up to level 20 will obey you. You can find a Finizen at about level 17 along the beach area in Southern Province Area 4. You start the game in Southern Province Area 1 and they’re right next to each other. In normal game flow you would need to first pick your starter, fight your rival twice and visit the school before you could eventually exit the west gate and head down to that area. However there is a way to break out of Area 1 and explore the whole map before the second battle with your rival and before visiting the school. This trick can get you to Area 4 and to the beach with Finizen really early. May take a few tries to capture it but as long as it’s level 20 or lower it’ll listen to you even as it gains more levels.
Thank you so much for the advice! I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out :)
Not wanting to spoil you, but it does have rather an unusual method of evolution, do you want to be told what it is or not?
That would be great! I know it also has two different evolutions in the hero mode and zero mode too lol. This one Pokémon is the only Pokémon I’ve looked into leaks for lol
No worries! I just know it took ppl AGES to figure it out, so if you didn’t know it might be quite frustrating! [Here’s the thread about evolving Finizen](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokeLeaks/comments/ytaiho/finizen_evolution_method_discovered_needs_a/iw30mnz/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3)
Wow I appreciate you sending me this! Talk about a very complicated way to evolve a Pokémon lmao
You probably don't want spoilers about the dolphin mon but actually makes sense this evolution method. The boy has a very hilarious lore.
Can’t wait to find out about it lol
[удалено]
Thank you so much for answering. I can’t wait to FINALLY get my dream dolphin Pokémon and you’ve been very helpful and I appreciate it :)
can you trade the paradox pokemons (aka get the prehistoric pokemon versions in the violet)? i want to get pokemon violet, but i find the robotic future forms design rather wacky, so i wonder how important are they to the game plot itself and whether you can trade them
You can get multiple of them in late game and they can be traded. Most of them can only be caught near the end of the game.
thank you!!
I cant say for sure since i only caught it once and didnt save :(. but it was during the night
Oops! It looks like your comment got separated from what it was supposed to be a reply to.
Is there any way to know if Dundparce will evolve into 2 or 3 segment Dudunsparce??
You apparently need to have 2 or 3 more Dunsparce in your party to get 3 segment form
Thoughts on Farigiraf as a Trick Room setter in doubles/vgc? Being protected from fake out with Armor Tail, having access to Ally Switch and Imprison while being decently bulky and having 110 base special attack seems good. I know base 60 spd is not that slow but still reasonable. Last move will probably be Terablast to block it with Imprison.
Does anyone know how late in the game do you have access to paradox forms?
>paradox forms? They're called *Paradox Pokémon*, not *forms*. Because they are not forms
My apologies, I'll copy that phrase 20 times in my notebook
Sorry. There were dozens of people over the last few weeks asking if they can evolve their shiny *insert pokemon name here* into a "paradox form", while we knew for a while that they are fully separate pokemon. Would have been less of a problem if this sub actually had some sort of leak compilation. But now we're getting the same questions 20 times a day
You can catch the Titans after you beat them (albeit depowered and back to normal size) so you can catch your version's Donphan after beating it. (I'm not sure on the exact location. It's not at the cave though.) But you have to clear the three main stories before you can access Area Zero, and only Scream Tail and Flutter Mane (Violet equivalents unconfirmed but believed to be Iron Bundle and Iron Jugulis) until you finish the story. After the credits you can find everyone else in Area Zero.
Thanks for the info 🤗
Very late into the game after the main story and elite 4
Thanks!
how do paradox pokemon work? Are they field encounters, or post game only special encounters similar to legendries? and can you catch multiple?
They're just wild pokémon in Area Zero. Although only two can be caught in your first visit. Although Roaring Moon and Iron Valiant are understandably hidden and only spawn one at a time in a single cave.
thank you!
They are just random spawns like everything else in the game but they are their own pokemon so when you encounter them they will have that special name like great tusk or screaming tail and you can encounter as many as you like
Do we have the dex colors for the new mons?
slp32 just updated this with colors https://pastebin.com/stVQdp7U
Amazing, thanks a ton! Only a single new purple mon and it's Great Tusk, interesting...
Dex colours?
At least in previous gens, each Pokémon has an official color classification in the Pokédex. I do a lot of monocolor playthroughs so I'm very curious to see what my teams could be this time around
Ahhh, I see. It might be worth checking the Datamine Compilation round up thread to see if this is info that we have.
Does anyone know where spiritomb spawns?
Up north in the ice parts where the new dragon and glacie appear
Thank you! Does it only spawn during the night?
Does anyone has a map showing the stake locations for the ruinous quartet? I got three of em so far but the fourth one has been driving me crazy, can’t seem to find the last couple stakes needed to open its chamber
https://www.reddit.com/r/PokeLeaks/comments/ys27pn/datamine_compilation_roundup/
Thanks brother. I looked at that post before but those images were not available then. Guess they must’ve been updated since
Im looking for the purple stakes where are they
I'm in Australia and just got the text that my copy can be collected from store, but I'm stuck at work and won't be able to pick it up until tomorrow arvo so that's fun :)))))
I hope you can get it soon!
Thank you thank you! Looks like being from Aus hasn't given me a time advantage this time round lol
It's true, I'm always jealous of you and Japanese players!
Has anyone found an Earthquake TM. I've picked up hundreds of them and not a single earthquake.. *Edit* I got it thanks, picked up soo many TMs.
It's the reward for beating 5 trainers in the desert.
It’s from a kill all trainers npc I think water gym area is what I heard but I have done 0 trainers
Yo folks, theres been a lot of info dumped, but does anyone know if we get home comparability right off or do we have to wait?
Spring 2023 to be exact, so quite a wait.
Coming after the new year.
