  1. I haven't tried yet but 6 trash lvl 100 Raticates with Sash and Endeavour+Quick Attack should be enough to beat most bosses, even better if you go for speed nature. For ghost Types just use scarf destiny bond Gengar. And against Morty you can easily beat with a ghost and dark team.

    Considering you are consistent in doing excavations, 1800 (number of hours)/22 (excavation cooldown time) = 81.8 days. 81.8 days x 2500 (cost) x 9 (number of sites) = 1,840,500 (worst case scenario, not including requirements for certain sites and such) Basically your Aerodactyl you sold already covered half the cost of the WORST CASE SCENARIO. (Additonally, 25+ Aerodactyls do not go for 1M only, you can blame your business skills for that.)

    Not only that, you also have the chance of getting more stuff from other stones(?) 20-25 (we will use 20 here) per site x 9 (number of sites) x 81.8 (number of days) = 14724 stones. Minus the Aerodactyl stone that would be 14723, 14723 chances for epics/items you can sell for profit over the amount you spent to enter the excavations is. By the logic of you are not getting anything good so it is not worth, then rerolls should not be bought because they are not worth too. Or spending time on hunting should not be the case because you do not get anything good most of the time so it is not worth.

    All this is only saying how profitable excavations is.

    Gio's suggestion of further INCREASING that profit (with the possibility of losing money, whether it be because of people being lazy or forgetting) is a great suggestion. Money sink, check. Profitable, check. will not ruin the economy of the game, check. +1 here if the message isnt clear to people reading yet.

    Your last bit contradicts yourself, You basically are telling me that it's highly profitable (when it isn't, proof her  ) and then say that it's a good idea to further increase the profit made, as if to say that there isn't enough profit to be made. It's not profitable in the long run. If it was profitable you would see tons of people in excas, but you don't. Gee wonder why that is huh?

     

    Let me remind you that the best case scenario I got was 1 year ago for an Aero that didn't have it's mega announced at the time. Prices for mons that arent good in PvP, as sad as it is are not going for a whole lot no matter how rare they are. I also don't know why you are mentioning rerolls when it's one of the most profitable things to make money off of considering you can get them for free from Reporter.

  3. @LadyLilith It's not that it's a bad idea, it's just the box has it's own complications right now. Coding this may take alot of work, which is something that's already on their to do list. Who knows it may be implemented, we will just have to wait and see.

     

    As for the money reduction for having this tool, I believe it is due to it being too convenient. Alot of money is being made by people actually hunting and selling good IV pokes they find. Currently we would need more money sinks in order to balance the amount of money people are making off really good IV pokes and shinies, which is quite alot. A tool like this would be a good opportunity for a money sink.  We should seek to find ways to add a money sink in the game, and since hunting is a core part of the game it definitely needs to be balanced.

  4. This is a great idea in theory, but currently Exca does not provide much profit, it's too much of a money sink for collectors and even to those trying to sell good IV pokes. I started doing Exca often ever since I was 200 hours in (currently I have 2000 hrs under my belt) and I STILL have yet to get a half decent Rotom. Best I got was a 20+ HP Grass Cyndaquill, and a 25+ Aerodactyl (Which I sold for only 1M a year ago) and since then still haven't got anything spectacular. If most of the player base are willing to do it everyday and could actually turn a profit then this is worth it but it's not right now, and I don't see many people doing Exca.

     

     

     

     

  5. Normally I'd say give time for the meta to settle as Ash-Greninja has only just been released but it is quite clear this mon never should have been released without the Gen 7 mons, it is too much to handle without the usual checks/counters it is supposed to have.

     

    However, I don't see a reason not to un-ban it once the Gen 7 dex is fully released, including Magearna and the Tapus.

    Idk what you mean. The code basically already exists with tms. You can use the same npcs which already exist, just that they give you a option:
    I can teach you move x for 10k.

    I can sell you move x for 15 per unit.

    Im not talking about one single tutor, im talking about the existing tutors which could give you the move tutors move as item, so i buy 10 times Super Power instead of traveling always around.

    That still comes with a balance issue. If you can buy and keep the TMs, then you can carry them over to the next region and that would be busted for story.

     

    Also would still have to code all tutor moves into TMs and that may give a headache for coders. I dont think all of this is worth it just for convenience sake.

  7. -1

     

    Just seems like a bad idea, it may come with it's own coding problems as well seeing as how you'd have to change the mass amount of tutor moves into TMs along with adding NPCs to sell said TMs. I also think tutors are widespread for balance reasons, since if you could just go to the NPC and get all tutors given at any time and use at any time then it would make story alot easier.

  8. Wow, didn't know about the burrow either. It's easy to miss it. And as Bhimoso suggest the Dugtrio should be the one to take you through the burrow.

     

    Anyways, while we are on the topic of Burrow Holes I would like to suggest the one for Mt. Coronet to go back to the way it was before, taking you next to the Dig spot. I can't for the life of me figure out why this was changed since all other burrows are very convenient where they are placed. But not this one?

     

    Edit: Oh I guess it was changed for Ash Westbrook boss, but it's not travelled to as frequent as the digspot. Since Ash gives crap rewards for being the most difficult Boss. I doubt enough people would care, and if those that do still have a quicker way to get there with this burrow.

  9. +1

     

    I feel like this could have and should have been easily implemented for mostly convenient sake making travelling for trades and dailies much less of a hassle.  But also this could breath more life into the game, giving people more of a reason to hang out at other regions. It is depressing how all the other regions besides Kanto feel like a ghost town.

  10. Yeah pokes with 2 primary abilities are a pain to get them with their H.A.

     

    Perhaps a good idea would be a global event with a 5% boost to get a poke with H.A like the boost to EXP gain during Valentines Day event?

    Hi @hunterlh4


    Sorry for the inconvenience as well as the delay.

     

    This is not a bug and is indeed intended. Both types of Dread Plates, while sharing the same name, have different uses. The Dread Plate you need for the Lake Trio will be obtainable at the Old Chateau, and it has to be the one there.

     

    I hope that cleared up any doubts you had. Feel free to reply here if you have any further questions.

    Have a nice day.

    Just out of curiosity, if this Dread Plate gets destroyed are we unable to continue on with the quest?

  12. No and here's why:

     

    Even if Mewtwo is catchable, the only use for it would be against bosses but that would make cheesing bosses much easier. Mewtwo would not be allowed in PvP due to it's huge movepool and high stats. And sure you could play with it against other players in a casual setting, but that would require approval by your opponent and let's be real not many people would like to get slapped by an OP legendary.
