Got the pseudo-legendary for the generation! :D

It’s completely the wrong nature! :D

Shipping it off for breeding purposes. Also agreed with Haru that Falinks is tremendous.

You can give it a nature mint if you're in the postgame.

I've only seen Falinks once. They used that No Retreat move. Swept them the same turn. Their special defense is their downfall. Dragapult or whatever it's called looks like it just completely negates it lol.

Thinking about getting this? Which version, though? Thinking Shield as the idea of a Pokémon with a sword in its mouth is stupid.

Gigantamax Pokemon seem really hard to find! I've only caught Gigantamax Corviknight and Butterfree so far.

And one that basically wears a massive shield around it's neck isn't?

Snorlax capture rates :dread: Took 15+ Ultra Balls while it was asleep to catch one at level 60, that was after the banana split ran through most of my team.

Did you try using a Quick Ball at the start of the battle. I caught mine with one throw by using it.

Dynamax is just bigger Pokémon with generic max moves, when some select Pokémon that's in dens have their own GMax forms which gives them unquie GMax attack that no other Pokémon has.

Annoying as said, it has to be in special dens - you can't change your Corviknight you caught and raised from Route 1 to have GMax, you'd have to find den that has one to fight to try catch it if you want GMax Corviknight.

If anyone has a spare Grookey I'm desperate! I'm able to trade baby Scorbunnies or Sobbles.

Could do with any Sword exclusives too. I don't have all the Shield exclusives though, but I have a few I could quickly breed to trade.

If we're not friends my details are in the Switch OP and I'm free the next few hours, or later tonight (most of tomorrow).
