    How is sharing your Tera types not cartridge accurate? As mentioned before, team sheets have been things in tournaments since forever, and this is a similar compromise. Obeying that rule is as cartridge accurate as both players agreeing not to use Baton Pass, not to bring Zacian, Species Clause...

    I don't get the argument that revealing Tera types is "changing cartridge mechanics". Team sheets have been a thing forever in offline tournaments, this is just a "gentlemen rule" to write your Tera types down, just as much as every other tiering rule, banned moves/abilities, etc, clauses. Worth...

    Get them out of the Pokeball with ZR, walk 1000 total units of distance (doesn't have to be in one go), level them up after the distance requirement has been met.

    Those are just the Japanese names for the Gen 9 Pokemon, nothing related to DLC. If anybody's curious: Wait, on second thought, I just saw the text on the tweet and Uneruminamo is not anything I recognize either, so that could be the DLCmon.

    All Buffs and Nerfs in Pokemon Scarlet/Violet

    According to the official website, which was updated 2 days ago: The moves a Pokémon can learn may differ between Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, Pokémon Shining Pearl, Pokémon Sword, Pokémon Shield, and other Pokémon games. For this reason, if a Pokémon is moved via Pokémon...

    For some Japanese context, first the simple: Neko = Cat Wani = Crocodile Kamo = Duck The Kanto starters, on the other hand, are literally their Japanese names. As for the Legendary quartet, zyun is a Junrei or other weird romanization for 準/jun, meaning semi- or sub-, and den is almost...

    Pokémon Drapion

    Two Knock-Offs, where the first hit successfully removes the opponent's item and grants the x1.5 boost, will actually outdamage two Crunches, so I'm sure Drapion won't lose the 2HKOs it got with Crunch.

    Yes, that's absolutely possible.

    Each time you reject a new egg, the inheritance RNG changes. I'm not sure if trading messes it up, but I don't think it should.

    Actually, genderless Pokémon have been giving me problems and inconsistent results. I will do more testing in regards to genderless stuff tonight.

    Ditto assumes the female position (that sounded weird) in this case. Tested it already. And I'm also getting the same random IV every experiment. So I guess it's safe to say it stays the same. Now to roll for a 31!

    Hmm... I tried to get a HA Skrelp by RNGing a Hustle Nidoran (female) and, while the IVs passed down as expected, the Skrelp hatched male and with Poison Point (his ability in slot 1), so I think neither gender or ability are locked with this method. Will keep experimenting more.

    Yeah, I know what you mean, but that's how RNG works. Gen 4 RNG made even less sense, at least this is quite simple. Sorry I can't provide the specific reasons, so please just take things as-is for now. ): I also wish I could know why it behaves like that. Regardless, I have some new...

    Some sort of Egg 'RNG' Abuse (Read the first post!)

    Okay, so let's see if I understand your question now: if you don't reject the first egg, then the inheritance will keep being randomized instead of locked when you change the parents. If you change the parents after rejecting the first egg and saving, you're keeping the inheritance RNG. Does...

    I answered you in the first sentence of my last post: you don't have to change the parents. The rest was just rambling. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean.

    You don't have to, but it's the main advantage of this method. Surely you can keep the same parents, but then you're better off just accepting every single egg and hatching them the usual way if those are the Pokémon you want to breed. The main usefulness of this method is, for example, breeding...

    Tested this just for you. Ditto assumes the father role, an the Ungendered mon is interpreted as female. Because then you couldn't change the parents. If you save before getting the first egg, the inheritances will keep being randomized every time you change parents. If you reject the first...

    Some sort of Egg 'RNG' Abuse (Read the first post!)

    Yeah, it's still very lucky based for sure. But if you get a spread on any shitmons that coincides with the spread you need for a good IV bred creature, then it saves you the time and the box storage space of trial and error! As long as you have an easy way to check their IVs (or if, at least...

    It's not ambiguous at all, but I'll try to explain it better. Put your Skarmory and Pidgeot in the Day Care, one holding the Destiny Knot, one holding the Everstone. Wait for the Day Care Dude to hand you an egg. Reject the egg. Save the game. Wait for another Egg to pop out. Get it, and check...
