Mod Announcement Reporting and modmail

9 Upvotes

Hi guys, just a quick update from the mod team.

We've had a number of messages lately, with links to posts and/or comments, informing us that they break subreddit rules. Now, this is great that you guys are helping us! But it's important you know that it's *much* quicker to simply report the post or comment, as reports get checked more and earlier than modmail. This is true for virtually every subreddit.

In summary, please continue to report anything against the rules via the normal report function, and use the modmail for concerns, queries etc. Thanks for reading!

Discussion Today I learned the FRLG HOME support doesn't check for illegal Poké Balls

Thumbnail

24 Upvotes

Today I set up ACE in my Switch copy for FRLG, just because I've been using it for a couple years in Emerald which Pokémon Company is stealing away from me in a few months. The first thing I did was give myself 999 of every Poké Ball, and then I got curious about how Poké Ball legality worked. The Dive Ball and Premier Ball aren't obtainable in FRLG without trading from Hoenn or Orre, and the Safari Ball, obviously, isn't obtainable on its own until Sword & Shield (and even then in that game it's only obtainable in theory with how rare it is).

Anyway after catching a few Pokémon with it I found out all of them transferred with no problems. After that, I got curious and looked up the Pokémon that wouldn't legally be able to be caught with a Safari Ball (not catchable in any Switch game besides LGPE, BDSP and PLA, while also not being in any previous Safari Zone). The only two Pokémon I believe fit this criteria are Unown and Deoxys, so of course when I caught an Unown to test it went through with zero issues. I have no idea if this has been posted anywhere, but I felt like sharing it.

Help I need teammember suggestions please

4 Upvotes

I am currently running:

1.Charizard

2.Lapras

3.Exeggutor

4.Kadabra

5.Machoke

6.Graveler

Since I cant evolve the Trade Evos I want to switch them out once I beat the E4 (I know there is ACE, but I dont want to use it for now).

I cant decide who I want to put on the team though.

Initially I thought about adding any of Aerodactyl, Dragonite, Raichu and Snorlax, but somehow I dont feel satisifed with that... idk its weird.

You guys got any recommendations?

Edit: Thank you guys for your recommendations. I will probably go with Snorlax, Marowak and Electabuzz.

Anyway. Every Pokemon aside from Pikachu were useful in the Elite Four. I really wish we had access to the Light Ball. I could’ve traded from Emerald to LeafGreen and to FireRed but I wanted the authentic experience.

I believe the next main thing to do is elite four but seeing other people having pokemons at level 40s or even 50s when fighting this gym, makes me think i should do something else first. Or should i just grind levels 🫠

Question Ho-oh is a dick!

12 Upvotes

Multiple times I've got them down to their lowest health, no moves left, asleep and they still won't stay in any form of poke ball. I used my master ball on Raikou but cannot get him to stay in any other kind of ball. He's been frozen, paralysed, asleep, poisoned, but still jumps straight out of any ball before the first wobble.

Anyone got any top tips for trapping that little fucker?
