How to Farm Shinies Efficiently:

1. Go to Wild Area 3.

2. Enter the building on the left and go upstairs.

3. Take your left Joy-Con and wrap a rubber band around it so it holds the stick in the “down” position.

4. Your character should now run up and down the stairs endlessly.

This movement continuously resets Pokémon spawns, not only in Wild Area 3, but also in the surrounding zones, including the buildings behind you.

Important: When spawns reset, shiny Pokémon do not despawn. This means you can stack multiple shiny encounters over time.

On average, you can expect to find around 2 shiny Pokémon every 30 minutes, and with enough time, you can stack up to 10 shinies waiting to be caught.

After however much time passes, leave the building and first check if the Alpha litleo is shiny and then check all 4 corners of the wild area. You don't need to look hard, the shiny sound will go off. Leave wild area 3 (south way) and head to the right and see if the pidgey on top of the lamp post is shiny. Then head up the teleporter elevator nearby (what is it called?) and check if any of the pokemon top of the building are shiny.

Here is a list of shinies you can get this way:

Litleo
Espurr
Skiddo
Flabebe
Pikachu
Pidgey
Emolga
Scatterbug
Vivilon
Beduw

Happy Hunting :)

Curious what Trainer options others went with! This is what I landed on:

Was kind of surprised (annoyed?) that they didn't give you three or four hair options to choose from. Technically, I actually like this hairstyle, but give me choices!!

Here’s the good for me:
-The music. There’s gonna be great lofi videos using the music from this game
-The graphics are gorgeous (more on this under bad)
-I am having a lot of fun building my team, exploring the city, and discovering new things. The city is way more diverse than I was thinking. The demo made the game feel smaller and I am glad not everything is so tight.
-The shiny sound is back!!!!!! I have found 2 shinies today.
-We can go inside buildings again!! (not all of them though!)

Neutral:

-Dunno how I feel about the battle system yet. I am pretty bad at it, but I think I need more time with it. I think I'd miss turn-based if they made the change permanent.

Bad:
-The graphics ARE good BUT there are some instances where they're horrible. Some stuff you can see up close is super low resolution. A lot of things are a flat 2D texture rather than being modeled. Some parts of the city are very empty and feel lifeless. Other parts are alive.
-I wish the wild areas we're a little bit bigger.

As I mentioned, I am having a lot of fun exploring the city and chatting about the game with friends online.

My team so far is:
Chickorita
Vivilon
Litleo (shiny)
Heracross

Now that we know the starters for the game, share which one you think you'll be choosing! 🍃🔥💦

Hey everyone!

As many of you already know, during the recent Pokémon Presents, we saw the long-awaited Mega Dragonite! 🐉

Currently, it seems fans are split into two groups: those who adore it and those who dislike it.

Honestly, I really like it. Not only because Dragonite is one of my favourite Pokémon, but also because I think it's nice that they decided to give it those wings, which seem like a natural extension of Dragonair's wings. I would have personally loved to see a touch of blue to reflect its previous evolutionary form, but I still like it, and I can't wait to add it to my team!

What are your thoughts about it? 💡
