These are my shinies. Most of them are event(though some of the events are rare now). In all my years of pokemon, I have only found Psyduck, cubone, and bisharp in grass.
 
New mythical revealed: Zarude, the Rogue Monkey Pokemon. Dark/Grass type, Leaf Guard ability. To me it just looks like Midnight Lycanroc - it has the same body and posture, red eyes, wild hair and markings around the middle. Maybe it's a weremonkey?

That said it looks so, meh. Yet another primate and the 6th one to have Grass typing (Pansage line + Grooky line). Feel like I would like it more if it wasn't a mythical, looks more like a third counterpart to Oranguru and Passimian you can just casually catch in the wild somewhere instead of some super special creature you have to jump through hoops to obtain.

That and oof on that typing and ability. If its stats aren't min-maxed to perfection it's going right in the trashcan of viability.
 
I was just curious: is anyone else taking part in the the Mewtwo Max Raid Battles? I'm beginning to regard them as a waste of time because of the sheer difficulty and frustration.

I tried 4 battles and gave up. Nearly won the first one but that was only because the Mewtwo had a weird fully physical set. If it's a special set Mewtwo, you lose. Even if someone manages to throw out a Light Screen, you just lose.

For those unaware, it's lv. 100, raises 6 barriers (12 in total), has a fuckton of health, always packs coverage to handle just about anything (any combination of STAB, Fighting, Fire, Ice, Rock, Ground, ect.), can use two Max moves per turn and GF even had the gall to have it use Calm Mind or fucking NASTY PLOT in these raids. Doesn't matter what you bring, I've seen full squads of legendaries go down in two turns to this monster.

And even if you do somehow beat it, it's ultimately pointless because you can't even catch the damn thing (for those of you not in the know, yes, you CANNOT catch this Mewtwo, whatsoever). Yeah you get some good items like bottle caps and ability capsules, but with how hard it is just to beat even one raid it's more trouble than it's worth.

Just sounds like ya didn't heed his warning from the first mewtwo movie about being the strongest.

Behold my powers! I am the strongest in the world. Stronger even than Mew.

Arceus got nothing on Raid Mewtwo.

Gremlins are epic though.

Going through the tedium of grinding for Battle Points at Battle Tower or letting them accumulate in Pokemon Home is a much more worthwhile endeavor to get Ability Capsules, and Bottle Caps are easy enough to get from the skilled Digging Duo brother.

this is the first game where ive actually gotten shinies of any kind, bred a shiny bounsweet, caught a shiny eevee and gmax hatterene and bred a shiny feebas, breeding for shiny sucks though.
 
So, instead of actually fixing the programming bug, GF instead opted to just not allow storage of Ninjask and Shedinja at all.

“Haha, so Game Freak addressed the whole Ninjask/Shedinja thing... kind of. Instead of pushing an update for SWSH to clear Shedinja's HOME Tracker or some other smart alternative... HOME just refuses to keep both of them on the cloud. Nice. Error code: 10000 https://t.co/GhwszvXOg5”

Every time I think they couldn't get any more incompetent, they surpass my expectations yet again.

This might be a stopgap measure, something quick to cover their ass while they fix the rest. Better to make things temporarily inconvenient than to delete Pokemon - It's not that uncommon in online services. If they don't fix it before the the free bank period is over, that's when we get the combustible lemons and burn their house down.

huh, that's strange, because i didn't have that issue with the shedinja i transferred over from Pokemon Sun (though god knows what game it was actually caught - i have pokemon transferred all the way from RSE)

that being said i'm fucking pissed because i can't use certain transferred pokemon in max raids or online battles. i have a shiny ninetales and arcanine, both hacked, though their stats weren't touched and their movesets are legal. i can't use the fucking ninetales but i can use the arcanine. apparently this is a known issue in that transferred pokemon will just, you know, not be usable online because fuck you.

it's not like people have paid for this shit service, the least they could do is let me use my fucking pokemon.

If it were anyone else, yes, that'd be a logical conclusion to draw here. But it's evident that GF's anything but logical at this point.
