Pokémon (Not-So) Griefing Thread - Scarlet and Violet Released with 10 Million Copies in First 3 Days in Buggy States

Man, I was having a real bitch of a time stunning those tornado Pokémon quick enough to start a battle until I realized Jet Balls can stun them. Hell of a lot easier.

Also it’s good to know the distrust I had of Kamado, that potato mochi guy, and Volvo at the beginning was justified. All three of them had it out for me in one way or another, so it wasn’t just my imagination.





If they’re not in Spacetime, just save right before battling them and they should respawn if you need to soft-reset.
Shit. That's a really good idea, and I can't believe I didn't think of it. Seems really obvious, now that you've said it. Definitely something to keep in mind for the future.
So I'm flying through Obsidian Fieldlands on Braviary and I see a Gyrados flying hundreds of feet up in the air - is that normal or is it some kind of glitch? I mean I know it's half flying-type but still
Isn't there a research task for catching a few while they're flying?

Very normal. It’s a static overworld spawn. Gyrados is based on the tale of the karp that climbed the waterfall…the dragon that changes into could always fly.

Yes. There is.

I almost like to think of it as training for Togekiss.

It’s also near a rather large waterfall too.

Training for Togekiss? Just go to that ledge in the Crimson Mirelands with all of the Gravelers. There's one flying around in circles that I've caught like ten times.

Edit: Scratch that, I was thinking of Togetic.

Do I go wit Cyndaquil because 2 is my favorite generation or go with Oshawatt because I always went with the water type?
 
So this is a weird bug:

Do I go wit Cyndaquil because 2 is my favorite generation or go with Oshawatt because I always went with the water type?
For what it's worth, you can get the other 2 starters once you beat the game. You can also catch a Piplup and the other 2 original Gen 4 starters during regular gameplay.

Speaking of bugs, I’ve luckily never encountered any during my play through, unless I wasn’t paying attention to detail.
 
Also it’s good to know the distrust I had of Kamado, that potato mochi guy, and Volvo at the beginning was justified. All three of them had it out for me in one way or another, so it wasn’t just my imagination.
I almost thought that one of them might have been an ancestor of XY's Mr. Bonding due to his disturbing interest in the player character.

Go with Cynda. You won't regret it.
I called mine "Dude" because of his stoned expression.
