I'm sorry, but how did they miss the opportunity to give Calyrex, Harvest? They could have just switched its ability in its forms, but flavor wise it makes so much sense.

SPOILERS! Pokemon Sword and Shield Datamine Thread

We're not here to comment on Game Freak's decisions; this is where we talk about how stuff works. Values, calculations, changes, facts.
Not opinions.
My apologies, I was confused as just yesterday this thread was FILLED with everyone's comments and opinions on Gamefreak's decisions.
The og regis didn’t get stab abilities like the new ones right?
1/25 odds to get a shiny in Dynamax Adventures, it looks like. Pretty darn good odds. Just catch everything you fight.
WHY. DOES. RAIKOU. HAVE. S C A L D.
Also behold the greatest movepool achievements in GF history:
SIUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Hmm I've a doubt.
If you finish a dynamax adventure and by the end of it you are shown a shiny mon that is not the legendary, can you take that shiny mon to your PC and then repeat the raid later?
In other words, we know that the same adventure can be repeated again and again if you choose not to take the legendary with you. But if you take any other mon instead of the legendary, can you keep repeating it?

Tecnically you can repeat adventures endlessly. The only notable thing is that once you bring home a legendary, you can't bring that one anymore (won't prevent you from joining or hosting adventures with that lege)
Raikou has a thundercloud on his back ig xD but ye, weird
They're saying the same thing eh.Serebii in their page says that it's 1/100 (shiny charm). Idk who to believe now
1/25 is the chance to get "a shiny" out of all the captured monsters.
1/100 is the chance for a specific one of them to be shiny
(swap numbers with the other pair for no-shiny charm)
Technically, the chance you get a shiny among all captured mons if you have a shiny charm is 1 - (.99^4), but it turns out that this number is very close to 1/25 anyway.
I'm asking this because say I'm hunting shiny Tornadus. I capture the 4 Pokémon in the adventure and, altho Tornadus isn't shiny, one of the earlier Pokémon i caught is (an Ivysaur, fe). Can i take the Ivysaur back with me while allowing me to host that same adventure and catch the legendary later?
That's correct.
We literally spent two days saying how bad the ghost horse looks
I love how people who have clearly never shiny hunted are throwing shit at Game Freak (without reason, I must say) because now "shiny legendaries are free". They are seriously understimating what 1/100 means, specially in a long-process-quest like Dynamax Adventures are, and are being blinded by the false "1/25" odds.
A 1/100 chance of an individual Pokémon being shiny after a quest that last from 10 to 20 minutes is no joke, in fact, you could very well be 1, 2 o 3 days playing 10 hours a day doing the exact same route and that legendary wouldn't still be shiny, which is, by the way, no different from 3DS era stationary shiny encounters.
"But there are lots of shiny legendary posts on reddit". Dont you say, Pokémon is played by millions of people. Do u know what happens when millions of people play simultaneously the same game right? yea, in fact, if millions of people were to start a standard shiny hunt (stationary legend in 3DS, for example) at the same time, u'd still see lots of legendary claims on reddit. Thats how probability works and thats why some shiny hunters use multiple hardware at the same time to do their hunts.
Again, a lot of people is seriously, and I mean seriously understimating what 1/100 is after a 15 minute quest, and I can' twait for most of them to be like 4-5 days playing nonstop the same route without success to understand what it means.
PS: I say this based on comments on YouTube mostly, its not related to comments here.

Doesn't know how to attack
Wait... Beldum don't KO themselves anymore? Catching them is possible! :D
Dude, please don't make me think about that. As someone paranoid about finding Shinies... ;__;
It's horrifying even more horrifying to see it... 0_o
And yet, the same people will never use Focus Blast until they absolutely have to.
Probably the battle against Victini?
Victini is supposed to be catchable, according to the datamines.I can't wait.Probably the battle against Victini?
Too bad it doesn't get its old event moves, though… I can't start electrical fires with 93.5% accuracy anymore.
Still gets 77% accuracy Focus Blast though, which is nicer than usual, I guess.
Uhh… Did Victini always have Mystical Fire?
Now has Speed Swap. Was that already the case and I never noticed?
Why is everything Psychic-type getting Speed Swap nowadays?

They all can
I checked the battle themes available and I think Spectier & Glastier have separate themes? The listings for online says "Spectier" for me, rather than "Steed" or "Glastier/Spectier"Probably the battle against Victini?
Peony
Spectier
Calyrex 2
Legend 1
Legend 2
Legend 3
...Also bit odd, I didn't see Calyrex 1 in my listings. Does anyone else see it? I never beat Leon in the battle tower so ever time I want to check these I have to go into online battles which is just a total crapshoot.
