I mean, yeah, in-universe it’s said to be an alien Pokemon that came via an asteroid.

I guess in that sense it looks otherworldly, but they could’ve made it look… I don’t know, a tad scarier?

Like they already did that with Deoxys and that design is iconic.

It’s probably the most forgettable legendary?

Then again it was tied to Sword and Shield’s plot which was pretty forgettable in of itself.

It doesn’t even look like it belongs in Pokemon.

They knew what they were doing.

I’ve been sticking with my core team of Meganium, Tyranitar, Starmie, Ampharos, Frosslass, and Charizard despite the fragility of two of them.

Just need Starmie’s mega stone to complete the team.

Somehow four members of my team ended up being the ones who’s mega stones are unlocked only through the Rogue battles, lol.

There are early game side quests that give you the Kalos Starters for free!

Aaaaaaaahhhh, that might have been it, actually.

Thanks for the heads up, dude.

How do you find the energy to make threads like this like it’s 2017?

At what point does one find it better to just like, not care about those big Western publishers anymore?

There are plenty of other studios. Other games. Other franchises that are not tied to any of them!

Nope!

Like, I kept walking back and forth and hearing the sound playing but there was just no wild Pokemon in that battle zone!

I’m starting to think it might have been a glitch. Or there’ll be one spawned in that area without the battle zone at night. I have no clue.

Kinda same, I just thought I would do it since a bunch of Snorunt were in Wild Zone 12 and I was planning on having Froslass on my team so I figured it’d be easy.

Took me I think about 45 minutes before I actually found one.

Ninty @nintyman58.bsky.social · 13h

This happened to me last night as well.

I was in one of the battle zones, heard the sound, and just could not find the shiny Pokemon anywhere.

Thanks dude!

I tried shiny hunting on a whim and yeah, it really is so much easier in this game, lol.

It was only a matter of fast travelling to the same wild zone, running in, and repeating the process.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS.

Shiny Snorunt. It has a cyan-tinted cost with a yellow highlight.

Literally right after the moment I posted this I see one of those holo-vator things on the map that seems to indicate a path towards it.

I hope it works and it’s still there if the rumors of shinies not de-spawning is true!
