I see. Slowly slowly.

I noticed catching Pokemon in this version is much easier. Maybe the catching rates % is this game is more lenient?

And the moment I realised I could spend my Watts on Quick Balls...  icon_idea.gif

Too bad it's on rotation so the same guy doesn't sell the Quick Balls whenever I return to that particular location.

At higher levels and fully evolved pokemon, quick ball will fail.
The percentage is probably really high, >90% for each catch check till level 45+ Pokémon’s.

Just got my 8th badge yesterday.
Planning to beat the game later tonight.
For challenge I usually only bring 1 or 2 Pokémon’s and don’t dynamax in gym battles.

I’ve completed Gen1,2,3,6,and 7 with completed Pokédex for Gen1 and 7.
Sword and shield is 8/10 before post game. It’s pretty good compared to the other gens.
Once I reach the post game, I might change the rating again.

Ah I see. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, I try my luck to throw QBs first hoping I would be lucky. biggrin.gif

Anyways, currently have an Eldegoss in my party with Sing so I tend to use her [or him maybe] to whittle down the HP and use sing to increase my odds of catching it.

Btw, any tips for which ball is best for raids? I have failed thrice to catch Centiskorch... 1st time Pokeball, 2nd Great, 3rd Ultra... Still fail.

Aisehman.

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

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.

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

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

I’m looking forward to the post game.
Particularly ranked singles and doubles battle since I heard the battle tower is a piece of cake compared to super singles battle tree in gen7.

Ah okie. Cool. Yea, I didn't use it at all since collecting it.

Perhaps should place it in my party. Earn even more coins than using Amulet Coin?

You’re suppose to stack it with the amulet coin.
