As for multiplayer, I didn't realize multiplayer worked in any capacity down in Area Zero. Do Violet paradox mons spawn in your Scarlet world and vice versa? If it helps, you and whichever friends you do multiplayer with should hunt independently and far away from eachother, because the "sphere of influence" around your character that decides when to spawn Pokemon or despawn them is coded to check and select Pokemon specific to your game, and their sphere of influence spawns Pokemon from their game; staying next to eachother in multiplayer will fuck both of your version exclusive spawning abilities.

Yeah it works the same in Area Zero (I caught Scream Tail and Flutter Mane on my own before giving up lol), it feels buggier than regular areas though, but that might be because paradoxes are lower spawns and the inherent frustration of not being able to see each other.
I'll have a look at that interactive map thing.

It's in a repeat ball. I don't think there was any specific ball I had that works best with silver, blue and glowing yellow and I didn't think it would matter near as much for a non-shiny Iron Hands since a specific ball wasn't requested. I do have a second set of shiny paradox Pokemon I was prepared to trade for Scarlet Paradox shinies but the Iron Hands from that set doesn't have 0 speed IVs. Shiny Pokemon may be more common with those Herba Mysticas but 1:32 is still rough odds for something that spawns infrequently.

Each Shiny Paradox I've caught in my game are in Timer Balls. The entirety of the main body of every shiny Violet Paradox looks some shade of White, Silver, or Dark Grey, depending on lighting, which lines well with the Timer Ball's color scheme minus the glowy bits on each Pokemon and the red on the ball. They're all on offer if they interest you. I don't have a Dream Ball right now since I used mine early on for a shiny Pawmi so I'm resetting the auction till I get one.

I hate the shinies for the Violet paradox Pokemon, but its a shame I couldn't ask for the Iron Hands in a Heavy ball because the blue on the ball would look great with his cobalt head streak. Honestly I can just go on the injection general on 4chan for the really specific IH I want but I'll still give you the Scream Tail.

I did just snag a heavy ball from the auctions. I had used the one I had prior on a different Pokemon. Let me go give it another go if I can manage to get this dream ball to spawn. Since I'm not hunting a shiny, it should be managable. You did say you had to work so I have plenty of time.

Edit: Alright, got the Dream Ball.

Edit 2: Oof. They patched the item duplication with Miraidon/Koraidon.

You do know how to duplicate items, right? Its really simple to get more rare balls and items.
1. Turn Koraidon/Miraidon to battle mode
2. Give them the item you want to dupe
3. Catch any pokemon, I use the shitmons on Poco Path
4. Add new mon to party
5. Replace your ridemon; this is tricky, you have to press A then B quickly, but if you do it too quickly the shitmon will transfer into the PC automatically
6. If you got the timing right, you can put your ridemon's item in your bag. Then just press + to resummon and convert it back to battlemode to catch more shitmons, your ridemon will still be holding the item but you will also have the item you put in your bag
7. Profit
I'm currently duping ability patches because they sell for 125,000 each, I've already bought all the clothes, herbs, battle items and capsules I need for the rest of the game's lifespan and I plan on making at least 100 gold bottlecaps and 25 of each special ball after I finish the money grind.

Yeah, I just tried that. I did it for a few ability patches shortly after getting one a few days ago but now when I recall Miraidon back to the party after riding it, the fresh Miraidon isn't carrying an item. I think it's been patched.

Weird, I'm duping right now and it works perfect. Gotta love dead workplaces.

They respecced and made a great game at the cost of their coding abilities, thankfully theres no bugs that are truly gamebreaking or dangerous to the console this time, unlike SwSh

The new one doesn't look so great though. Does it end up playing better than it looks? Are the complaints about performance overblown?

For the most part people are just memeing about minor visual glitches, lag and unintentionally funny bits like NPCs walking through your battles, on occasion your camera will poke through the floor and you'll see the void but its somewhat rare. Its basically just retards bandwagoning on other retards saying "THIS IS LITERALLY UNPLAYABBBBLE" and you'll notice they all reference only two or three semi weird visual things people recorded like the bikeless glitch, the horse/tallman glitch or the AWOOGA AWOOGA eye glitch.

Tldr way overblown by retards, gane can be a smidge laggy too

Why are your standards so low?
There's video footage of the game completely crashing during completely regular gameplay
Is this normal and acceptable?

Never crashed for me, and I haven't seen any nightmare glitches in my game either. Its not fantastic, but I'm mainly just happy the game is fun. Its a start for where Pokemon really should be, so I can overlook a bit.

YMMV
It may also depend on the model of switch (aging hardware and whatnot) - I've definitely heard of more issues with people who have older release switches though I've had mine for about 4 years and I don't get much lag. It performs better when docked (may be placebo?) so Lite users may have more issues. I have had a few crashes which all have happened when I'm going through UIs very fast (scrolling through dex at max speed, backing in and out of boxes)
I don't think the gameplay is acceptable from a franchise with the pure amount of monetary power Pokémon has but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the game. The only truly unacceptable bug in my opinion is getting shoved into the void by Pokémon battles because you can't use it for any fun glitches because that should just not happen at all. You can clip into the void manually at specific points too but that feels less insulting than the other method since you've gone out of your way to do it.

Theres a good guide my BLAINES on youtube where you can build a Gholdengho to 1-shot raids solo, you get AI partners but them dying doesn't reduce the raid timer so you have several turns to buff with Nasty Plot, debuff with Metal Sound, and then one-shot with Modest boosted Metal Coat boosted Steel Beam.

It doesn't actually work against 6 star raids. Someone else also tried it and it did a quarter of the HP bar at most, which means it also triggers the shield. Multiplayer is the only viable way as of now and luckily most people doing 6 star raids aren't retards.

Also holy shit multiplayer raid is so bugged. Make sure to save beforehand because apparently you can get stuck in the "getting ready" phase as the host with no option of starting the battle and with no way of exiting other than closing the game.
 
Yeah the multiplayer raids are absolute shit, I don't know how they managed to make the system worse from SWSH but Gamefreak has a real knack for doing this kind of shit. Fortunately raids don't give you a massive advantage especially if you don't care about competitive stuff. Half the Pokémon used in tournaments are hacked so who cares.
The gap between 5 and 6 star raids is really, really large and it's probably quite deceiving for the average child.

Trying to get perfect viable legendaries is too fucking difficult, also I read this article that was released a day or two ago that basically exists to suck Wolfe Glick's cock and the fucker had the gaul to say "a part of my league prep is to perfectly calculate and press A at the right hundred-thousandths of a second to make sure I encounter a perfect nature perfect IV shiny legendary" like no you retard, you didn't, you can't say you inject because you're sponsered by Nintendo but we all know you hack your shit in.

Oh yeah no, I totally get the use of RNG manipulation for speedruns and shiny hunting but one of the devs of PKHeX did an analysis and nearly half of the Pokémon were visibly hacked, who knows about the other half.
Anyway competitive battling is autistic as hell and if anything injection makes it less autistic/time wasting lol
