There’s Houndoom and Magby down in the underground (Magby is a Pearl Exclusive), but yeah the fire types are woeful in the standard Sinnoh dex.

For some reason you can only catch Houndoom, not Houndoor just in case you looked for the pre evolution instead.

Why is this Drifloon harder to catch than any legendary Pokémon

I found it relatively easy to catch :lol: Anyone caught their cover legendary yet? Not sure if anyone has finished this already or not!

Fair point, though I'm trying not to trade anything in for Switch.

Has the legendary made it into your team? Or is it now living in a box like so many Pokémon :lol:

I don’t normally (although the wolves in gen 8 were great for raid battles so used them for that alone) but I’m half tempted to chuck it on my team for a change.

Shy guy gets it. The real journey is the legendaries we catch and stick in boxes forever along the way.

I feel like the Pokémon that control space and time (and the reverse world) need a bit more love :capnscotty: Palkia and Dialga will be going onto my teams on my respective saves, Giratina too on Brilliant Diamond.

I don't usually use legendaries, but Pearl seems to absolutely throw them at you - I have three legendaries and three gym badges - so I think I'll have to go for it. It will be funny to face the Elite 4 with an all-legendary team.

That’s exactly how I’m going to play through Diamond, my starter (Turtwig), Mew, Jirachi, Manaphy, Dialga and then add Giratina in post game. I’ve never actually used so many legendary/mythical Pokémon as I will be doing in that run, so I’m hoping it’ll be quite enjoyable due to how different it is!

What were your levels going into the league? You’re into the postgame now :toot:

I managed to get to the Snowpoint gym in the hour or so I spent on this earlier today, will be jumping on it again later to get that bit out the way, will probably jump back into the underground, try and find a few Gible to aid my dex completion. Does anyone know if you can breed the fossil Pokémon?

I saw this morning that you need to finish the National dex off to get the Shiny Charm, completing the Sinnoh dex only gets you the catching charm. Thought it was a little odd that they’ve worked it this way rather than catching charm earlier on and then shiny for completing the regional dex.

A tad under levelled. Infernape and bastiondon were about 65 I think floatzel and vespiquin were about 63 and abomasnow and garchomp were 58. I need to double check
