Pokemon Thread #25 - A new Tera

[HanSolo]

Ah I see, thanks. Any idea where abouts on the map is the best spot to do max raids and have the best chance of running into a Ditto/Dreepy? And do you think max raids have better probability than farming the Lake of Outrage (spawns Ditto, Dreepy, and Drakloaks)?

It's dependent on weather but relying on raids is just as random. Even if you have the den reroll available it could give you something not native to the den.

Speaking of Dreepy's I've been breeding a ton. I know someone else was offering them but if anyone wants a 5IV Modest (for a special attack build) one I've got a solid handful of them now.

I don't know where Dreepy is since that was a happy accident, but here is an image showing where you can find the Ditto and the Gigantimax raids:

You can see the Ditto raid spot is to the right of the path that goes down to the daycare center, as you head away from the daycare. It is kind of tucked into a corner.

The raids have a much better chance of giving you better IVs. I think how it works is that if it is a 3 star raid, it is guaranteed at least 2 Perfect IVs, 4 star guarantees 3, 5 star guarantees 4. There is a technique to resetting the Ditto raid spot until you get the Ditto. Ditto is the only one that shows up in the darker red beam. So you first save the game. Then you put the wishing star piece or whatever in the den, and when it asks you if you want to save, say yes but right away hit the home button so that you go to the Switch home screen. As it backs out of the game, you'll see whether it is a special beam or not. If it isn't a special beam, close the game and re-enter and if you did it properly you'll be able to try again. If it is a special beam, just go back into the game and do the raid. I've gotten 3 4IV Ditto doing this so far, and I haven't really spent that much time on it.

Wow, thanks a lot for the very informative post - I'll try my hand at it now. Really appreciate it!

I'd love one if you still have some.
My friend code is SW-8510-5948-6595, thanks!

No problem. Hope you find a good ditto.

Thanks! I caught three 'amazing' Dittos, what would you recommend for breeding the ideal Dreepy?

1st one has 'best' stats in HP, Attack, Sp. Defence, and Speed; 'Very good' in Sp. Attack; and 'pretty good' in Defense, along with 4/10 in Dynamx.

2nd one has 'best' stats in HP, defense, sp. attack, and speed; 'very good' in attack; and 'decent' in Sp. defence with a dynmax level of 7/10.

3rd one has 'best' in HP, attack, and sp. defence; 'very good' defense; and 'pretty good' Sp. attack and Speed, with a dynamax level of 4/10.

We can just set up a standard link code. I'll add you as well. But there's an easier way to do it

Ah you're right - this is the first time I've really used the online portion of the game.
I set up a link code as 1988.

Why'd you cancel?

No idea what happened lol I didn't do anything or get any notifications or anything. I just set up another one with the same code.

You can use either of the first two, though if you're going to breed a Modest one, I'd use the 2nd one because it has the three main stats for Modest in HP, Sp.Att, and Speed. Make sure to give the Ditto a destiny knot and everstone to the Dreepy if you want more Modest ones.

Sorry I had to step away. Starting a fresh batch cause I raided a hidden ability Dreepy. Need to restart the batch to reflect HA.

Corviknight. Didn't even have to think about it

@Vegeta and I just grabbed a 6IV Brave HA G-Max Dreadmaw from a raid.

Unreal pull.

That's crazy. I can't even get the stupid thing to stay in a ball.

Ultra balls and I hear repeat balls are key

 

[HanSolo]

40 percent chance to not pass down HA. My game likes those odds.

Eiscue, AINEC.

I don't think it matters much between infiltrator or cursed body. Congrats on the shiny, enjoy it.

For me it's between Drednaw and Grapploct.

 

[Commander Clueless]

Random question, what is your favourite new pokemon?

Drednaw or Corviknight for me so far.

EDIT: Toxtricity all the way.

 

[Gardner McKay]

I don't mind Drednaw, but Chewtle is easily one of my top 10 most hated

 

[DCDM]

Random question, what is your favourite new pokemon?

Having not played the games and only going based on looks, I really like Dragapult and Toxtricity.

 

[wingsnut19]

I love Chewtle, but I get it. I find a lot of the designs to be pretty eccentric, and I think its great. The only one I really dislike is Cinderace.
