Walking Wake is significantly easier just because everyone has pocket Iron Hands these daysYeah finally got one - fingers crossed it doesn’t take as many as it took to defeat Iron Leaves.
It's something I notice even during normal times, raids fill up fast since they only update on manual refresh and not in realtime. Now consider that people are rushing to get into raids for both mons as Version Exclusives, big new "Legendaries", and something they'd otherwise have to hunt in game for their own raid den and figure out a Solo for.So uh are we allowed to enter Walking Wake raids from Violet? Been trying for like 15 min now
iirc they didn't mention anything about facilities, simply that the Blueberry Academy has a focus on battling in its curriculum .I heard there was a mention of a Battle Facility being in the DLC. Am I correct in assuming that there's no detailed info from the lack of discussion?
Turned out it was much easier - partly because of better partners - partly just due to being easier. #oneraidkoWalking Wake is significantly easier just because everyone has pocket Iron Hands these days
It took you multiple tries to defeat Iron Leaves? I solo'd that thing with a Skeledirge.Yeah finally got one - fingers crossed it doesn’t take as many as it took to defeat Iron Leaves.
There's not so much to leak, so far all generations (including swsh) had *all* legendaries returning since they are basically a given for VGC.Plus I don't think GF wants returning legends/mythicals leaked.
If we assume that the final tally is the absolute maximum possible of 239, we have 23 slots left for returning mons. Even if EVERY one of those is a returning legend it won't be enough: Pre-Paldea minor legendaries alone if you don't count Ultra Beasts bring the tally to 36. Add in mascots and it's well over 50.There's not so much to leak, so far all generations (including swsh) had *all* legendaries returning since they are basically a given for VGC.
Mythicals ofc are another beast entirely, but they're generally related to events, thus would be reasonable if they will wait to add some of them until the event is near.
How is 239 the absolute maximum possible, they just said over 230.If we assume that the final tally is the absolute maximum possible of 239, we have 23 slots left for returning mons.

Some of that count has already been chipped away at by Home additions, but it makes no difference. No legend spam. Not this time. Thank fucking god.
And all of those are Gen 5 other than Furfrou. Gen 5 remake in the work perhaps?Rattata-A*, Raticate-A*, Spinda*, Snivy, Servine, Serperior, Tepig, Pignite, Emboar, Patrat, Watchog, Pansage, Simisage, Pansear, Simisear, Panpour, Simipour, Furfrou
It totally ties into the Burned Tower. Raikou called down the lightning bolt. Suicune used Sunny Day to put out the fire with Hydro Steam but of course that just made it burn worse.. Paradox Entei’s other type was clearly Grass/Bug/Ice/Steel and so it couldn’t survive either.I'll be the first to get this opinion out there... I really don't like the Suicune Paradox form so far. I was already feeling a bit iffy about the missed potential here (they could have used the Burned Tower legends as inspiration for a Past form), but somehow they managed to do even worse than that.
Why specify 230 otherwise? They would have said over 240 or over 250 surely.How is 239 the absolute maximum possible, they just said over 230.
If you remove all the Pokemon that are already in the game, which presumably do not count towards the "over 230" number based on SWSH's DLC, from that list and then added i nthe remaining Legendary pokemon not already in the game (of which there are MANY, by the way), it comes out to ~235If we assume that the final tally is the absolute maximum possible of 239, we have 23 slots left for returning mons.

so....
You playing Scarlet or Violet, cause if you're playing Violet you can just solo Iron Leaves with a properly trained Skeledirge.Walking Wake was an easy catch but everyone online is shitting the bed against Iron leaves
Scarlet or I'd not bother playing online with all these kids. I did Wake offlineYou playing Scarlet or Violet, cause if you're playing Violet you can just solo Iron Leaves with a properly trained Skeledirge.
Tell me about it. You'd think more people would use Gholdengo or something that can actually resist all of its attacks, but no. You get people who don't bother and let it get up to +6 atk because why not? I got some guy who tried to use Anihilape of all things.Walking Wake was an easy catch but everyone online is shitting the bed against Iron leaves
It's a pretty straightforward foil to the headcanon that PS was some alleged forerunner to the three beasts, which isn't something that really made sense given what we know about their creation. Not that this is the speculation thread but it's seemed pretty obvious since the Cyclizar/Koraidon lore reveals (to me at least) that the Paradoxes aren't literal antecedents/descendants. Between the weird dex entries, Arven's commentary, and really strange details on things like Slither Wing and Sandy Shocks it's pretty clear that the paradoxes as a group are just present day mons reimagined through dinosaurian/cyborg tropes of the past and future respectively. Walking Wake isn't actually related to the Suicune we know –– it's a manifestation of what an ancient Suicune might've looked like assuming the ancient past actually looked like the Flintstones or Jurassic Park.I'll be the first to get this opinion out there... I really don't like the Suicune Paradox form so far. I was already feeling a bit iffy about the missed potential here (they could have used the Burned Tower legends as inspiration for a Past form), but somehow they managed to do even worse than that. Virizion's "Iron Leaves" variant looks a bit better to me personally, but it's still not my favorite thing ever.
20 battles so far and all quick wipes as everyone just throws out random legends and startersTell me about it.
