If you’ve it in your dex, repeat ball.
Else, dusk ball (at night).

from my experience, 5 star raids have higher failure rate to capture the pokemon. especially those gmax mons. just use your ultra balls and hope for the best.

last time, i failed 6 times in a row to capture ditto from 5star raid. damn!

Trying to catch Snorlax too. Too cute

The gmax raid is really fun and this game took out alot of grinding.

Probably best pokemon game so far for people

Who has time to collect all 1000 pkmn for national dex?

Same here. Never caught the bugger.

I see. Thank you for the tips.

Will try to get the Repeat Ball too. One good thing is money easy to farm in this game - just keep selling those Big Pearls etc obtained from the raids...

Previous gens, money was quite an issue at the start of the game, this round - I think 30K already on hand when I first reached the mart in Wedgehurst.

So far I haven't managed to get into 5 star raids. Highest also 3 star and the Pokemon's aren't really rare... Few times I tried to wait for other players to enter but no luck. Any tips to increase my chances to join/have others join my raids? Most times the ones I see on the stamp are locked; hence couldn't join. Bummer.

what is raids? dynamax is also only available in this version right?

the new ver pokemon quite ugly.. hope to beat no 4 and 5 gym tonight.. already at the sand gym no 4..

the best pokemon ever.. and its still pokemon.. just how i remembered it..

Which mon is the final game boss?

yeah. urs level 36 too? my rabbit is level 35 tht time.then realised my 3rd gym badge only allows up to lvl 35 to catch pkm. tonight win gym no4 and go back atch snorlax...

my 6 pkm right now is the rabbit - forgot its name
machoke
pikachu
gyrados
haunter
and rhydon...

okay thanks. you guys read from the guide or wad? or just play only... i dont catch a lot pkm for now. plannnning to finish the game then go back to catch

EV training? just throw in all in vitamins, EV training done in minutes

Clocked around 90 hours of gameplay to date, finish almost everything, now planning to do shiny living dex

Those pinkish lights you see at the Wild Area, when you grow closer, it's coming from those pink holes on the ground. When you click you will see an outline and type of the Pokemon you'll be up against. Most times I fought alone with three other AI players.

Hmm, 4th gym is sand? I thought Sword is Fighting, whilst Shield had Ghost as the 4th gym.

Haha, can't comment much on the Gen 8 Pokemon looks - quite like Galarian Ponyta though. The way they change Meowth's appearance in S&S is also quite amusing.

Yeah, level 36 too. His body/heavy slam kinda painful on my bunny, will try to catch soon hehehe. Onto gym 6 now iirc

maybe its fighting. cz the layout a lot sand haha. yeah the meowth so ugly wtf

fyi, treasures you find in the overworld (those shinies you found on the ground) restocked everyday. so, if you are short on pokedollars, you can farm the treasures everyday.

regarding raids, the game was released nearly 2 weeks ago and most player already completed the game. most of the time now, people will only be interested to join 5star raids only. which explain why there is nobody participating with you on lower star raids. furthermore, you can actually beat 4star raids and below on your own. 5star raids is quite difficult though.

locked 5star raids is simply because the pokemon in the raid is either a ditto or the gmax version of a certain pokemon. i also saw people selling 5star raids for gmax for certain pokemons

Wait till you see it's evolved form on Route 8. Haha.

Anyways, compared to the Alolan Persian [fatty cat] - the Perrserker looks like a barbarian/Viking.

I think you'll enjoy Glimwood Tangle forest [after 5th gym] since got chance to catch Fairy-type Pokemon there.

The free Gmax meowth you get is capable of generating a whole lot more. Quick way to make money for those expensive vitamins.

fairy as in clefairy right. met one trainer w clefairy. quite hard to beat. and its skill cause a lot dmg to my bunny
