For me, the PP items are super helpful when trying to fill out the dex entires to 10. Even more when trying to get a 100% dex. A lot of the moves required for the dex have a smaller amount of PP and using an agile/strong style move is also a frequent need. That's the only time I'm using PP though.

3:55 - Iron spawns in fixed locations across all 5 maps, and becomes more commonly harvested from ore veins in higher tier areas. If you're gathering Tumblestones in higher level areas, chances are you're making enough iron doing so to cover not just the Jets and Gigatons, but Ultras too. Heck, my farming runs for Cherubi in the Fieldlands takes me across at minimum a half-dozen nuggets of iron just lying on the ground, and I could probably have run across more if I wasn't hard focusing on checking trees, both along the southern border of the Heartwood and through Oreburrow Tunnel. Iron shouldn't be a problem in the lategame if you're collecting what you need for the better balls anyway. Though given the route you show later in the game providing Ultra Balls as well, I concede the point; Why craft *or* pay when you can farm them up too? As inefficient as it is, any Ultra Ball gain is usable. 6:50 - Any Potions, to be fair, aren't so useful in your conditions, assuming you have the patience for all the back and forth, but for those who have more distance to travel or are in the middle of hunting for pokemon and grinding up XP, Potions save you the trips back to camp, especially in the case of Max Potions once you get pokemon in the 200+ HP club, or gods help you, a Blissey to train up if you wanna go that route. Potions aren't useless, they're a Convenience that saves you the run back to camp every 4 minutes. 8:35 - As mentioned by other commentors, some research tasks take using Low-PP moves to complete the page, and while I myself never needed the Max Ether/Elixir, I _did_ use Leppa Berries rather consistently to save the trips back to camp. 13:16 - And here I must rebuke you; Max Revives are *the* Lifesaving option in the field, and I freely admit that these spiky lil nuggets carried me through the last major fight in the game because I was swamped from the fight right before it. Without them, I may have had to restart numerous times, or simply back off and overlevel myself to withstand the endurance run that is the last fight in the game. Even in basic XP training, they and their Non-max prerequisite item are useful for covering a mistake when training new mons, most commonly throwing out a mon and getting outsped and oneshot. I personally tried to keep 10 Max Revives on me before I took on that last fight, and since then, hold onto atleast 5 while out there. 19:18 - Consider charting a route for Iron too, since you put a considerable lot of import on the two balls you can only get via crafting, perhaps a future video you can outline the best route to get the iron off the ground. Though consider noting how Shaking Veins in the Icelands have the *potential* to yield a lot of iron as well, it's probably wiser to simply focus on a route for Iron farming for the viewers short on balls and looking for the fast way to make more Also, for Sticky Globs, if you're farming for those, You get Spoiled Apricons all the time from wild mons and Apricorn trees, not much you can do to improve those chances, but balls of mud can indeed be directly farmed from the Lava Dome Sanctum, so if you're short on those, you can get a lot of them from that cave, all over the floor. Caster Ferns are all over the Mirelands, so if you need those and don't wanna spend the money, that's the place to look.

[@Whofan06]

I always fine myself going for Apricorn crops in Jubilife over anything else, and that's a good way to get a lot of Spoiled Apricorns all at once

[@Plasmafox]

TBH I stopped even making ultra balls. I just make regular pokeballs, gigatons, and jets. Anything too strong for a regular pokeball I would use one of the others on anyway, and gigatons are the same as ultras in battle

[@gamekrazd626]

@@Plasmafox That's a fair decision to make as well, in terms of efficiency. Personally, I do wish that Ultra Balls and its line had a better capture chance when used during a battle to balance it out and make them more viable for things like Legendaries and Rift catches, but that's more out of a sense of making sure everything has a purpose than a genuine criticism about the game's balance.

[@updfdrakkell143]

Something I noticed with 5pp moves like fire blast and hydro pump though, if you're completing/perfecting pages you will be using those moves, sometimes dozens of times. So that's one use for them

[@slippythefrog]

@@breloommaster12 is right. But for clarification. If you replace Quick attack with tackle, it will have Quick attack's remaining PP, including if it is exhausted to 0. Putting quick attack over a new move will exaust that slot to 0 as well. sleeping replenished the non-active moves' pp.

Man, I love your content. So helpful and easy to follow. That said, when you said you've only used a few potions for the entire game, I was like, "What?? I've probably used at least a hundred!" Obviously if I'm near a camp I'll go back to rest, but some maps have areas that are a decent distance from the camps, and I'd rather pop a quick potion and keep on truckin' than interrupt whatever I'm doing to make that extra trip. Also, they're useful when I'm in a time vortex and need to heal up a bit if I end up battling something there. No way I'm risking the vortex ending just so I can save a few potion materials by returning to camp. The bit about never using revives also surprised me. I don't need them often, but on those rare occasions where my strongest Pokemon for a certain battle gets KO'd, I'll often spend the first turn of the next Pokemon using a max revive on the KO'd Pokemon, then throw them back into battle. Especially if the monster I'm fighting happens to be one of the few types I only have one truly strong Pokemon against. On a similar note, again on those rare occasions where someone gets KO'd, using a revive near the end of battle can ensure that Pokemon doesn't miss out on the XP from battle. That's not a big deal if I'm fighting a smaller, more common Pokemon, but if it's an Alpha, etc or if the Pokemon that got KO'd happens to be a level or two behind the pack, it's worth it to me to use a revive to get them that XP. On the flip side, I never use stealth spray. I just don't need it. I feel like if you use cover and time your attacks right, you don't need to worry about that stuff. If I'm just passing by and happen to aggro something, I ignore it and keep going. If I'm trying to catch something, I use strategy in planning my route, using grass, smoke bombs, and berries as needed to get near my target (if needed, I'll catch some of the smaller monsters first - I usually need a few of them anyway to fill out their Dex entries, which is something I'm heavily focused on now in the post game). I guess what this vid shows me is that there are multiple playstyles that work for this game. Your guides usually work really well for me, but this vid was the total opposite of how I play, and that's okay. Still appreciate the amount of thought and effort you put into it, and look forward to your next vid, to be sure. Keep up the great work!

[@AustinJohnPlays]

if im covering a lot of ground and need to heal, I go to camp and rezone for the shiny re-roll on every overworld mon. I have about 20 full-odds from my play time and doing this.

[@nicked_fenyx]

@@AustinJohnPlays Definitely a good idea, esp for when you need to heal before starting out to cover lots of ground. But for me, if I need to heal while already quite a ways from camp, I'd rather just heal and keep on going than do the whole trek again. But that's clearly more of a personal preference. And, with 130 hours in the game so far, I only have three shinies (including the gimme Ponyta), but I attribute that to the fact that I tend to play a lot with the sound off while listening to other stuff, and the visual cue is one that's hard for me to pick up on, esp if flying. I honestly wish it were a bit more obvious, but that could just be me. Working on catching those last few Pokemon while also completing research pages as I go, so hopefully that and the shiny charm I'll eventually get will up the odds a bit as well. Regardless, thanks again for the content. It really is insanely helpful.

[@Plasmafox]

Without stealth sprays, on mons that don't instant aggro at the slightest thing. Once you're in cover, you can do a roll(staying in cover.) They'll turn to face you. Since most pokemon seem to prefer to make 180 degree turns on average, a great deal of the time their next move is to turn their back.

[@masonbeeeeees]

I actually have been running out of PP pretty often, but specifically when I'm trying to have a pokemon of mine do a certain move a bunch of times for the perfect dex page. I'm working on Raichu's right now, and he's gotta do 70 thunders, which only has 5 PP (and has been painful so far lol). HOWEVER, I would 100% recommend just using leppa berries to restore the PP instead of using max ethers. You need a leppa berry to craft a max ether anyway, but the only times I've really had issues with PP are in situations where the move already has a very small amount of PP, so using a leppa berry to restore 10 pp is usually more than enough: there's no need to waste two pep-up plants to get something that maxes out the PP when it only has like 5-10 PP to begin with. Hopo berries also restore PP, but they're used in stealth sprays whereas leppa berries are only used for max ethers,

[@AustinJohnPlays]

Wouldn’t it be better to just do this in the battle at village or do those not count towards Dex Also you can switch move slots mid battle and if you move the move you need to a different slot it’s PP is refreshed

[@breisbored3748]

I personally really like having a good amount of the recovery items. Mainly because depending on how far out I am, sometimes fast traveling and having to rush back to where I was with Wyrdeer is just a bit too much effort for me to want to put into things haha

[@McCloud04]

Same here, for me having to back to camp and then all the way back to where I was is more of a downside than using materials or money on them.

[@skullfullofbooks7398]

Also levels don't matter as much in this game, and I've definitely been shocked by how strong some moves seem to be despite being 20-30 levels over a pokemon. Having the items on hand is quicker and more convenient than going to camp. I wish I could do more camps in the areas.

I mean Ether and the like are good when you're trying to full out a dex entry; at times I'm having too much fun and don't want to return to camp - or the five PP moves are needed to complete certain dex entries; in my opinion it helps in the long run. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jamesbryce7260]

Why would you use ethers for 5 pp moves when leppa berry does the same and is required for ethers but either buying leppa berries and/or crafting ethers/elixirs cost a lot of money especially since it takes like a minute tops to get anywhere from base camp at the end of the game I can understand possibly getting leppa berries to refill pp so you don’t have to return every time you need a refill but crafting them into ethers and elixirs is a waste

Cool thing is you can play this game however you want. Like Austin for example says he just goes back to camp so no need for healing items. Whereas I use healing items a ton just because I normally go out on runs until my satchel is completely full and my team is at their limit. And I’m usually using 3-4 mons that aren’t very trained up so I can fill out their dex page. Basically I push everything to the limits as much as I can before heading back. I also go out with like 100 cake bases and mix them with the ingredients (as needed) that I’ve found on my runs, and use them on any shiny/alphas that I might really want.

[@deebo3618]

I also never use stealth sprays or smoke bombs ever, whereas Austin says he uses those all the time. Anyways what I’m getting at is it’s cool that you play this game in so many different ways and get use out of your items while somebody else might find them useless

[@sentakukuraiko138]

For the scatter bangs to work, you need to be rather far away from the Pokemon you want to scare. They don't work when you are close as far as I now. You need to be out of range for the pokemon so it cannot detect or find you.

[@nullpoint3346]

You also shouldn't hit the pokemon you intend to scare with it.

[@Slendermaster968]

Tip: Sort your inventory manually in a way that the Item carousel has a Pokeball in the middle, a lure or smoke bomb to one side and a stun on the other. Quickswitching between your items will make catching pokemon much easier, and might come in handy when Shiny hunting mass outbreaks. I do Ultra ball first slot, Oran berries 2nd slot and Sticky Globs last slot of the inventory, not 3rd next to Orans, but the bottom of the page slot, that way if you get resources from catching pokemon it won't mess up your scrolling. During mass outbreaks, I catch as many as i can without aggro-ing... when they aggro, LR to switch to the globs, I stun the 4 pokemon, ZR to switch back to pokeball, start catching, rinse and repeat until you're done! This strat made shiny hunting rotom, sneaseal and other aggros a piece of cake. When hunting water pokemon tho i prefer stealth spray + smoke bombs because its much harder to aim the globs right in water.

[@CortezExperience]

For the sticky globs-- Going to the volcano right next to where you fight noble Arcanine is a great way to farm mud balls. I believe there's At least 20 in there at one time.

[@bbiggbboyy8689]

For anyone going for a perfect pokedex... many pokémon require a move to be seen with either a strong style or agile style and some of these moves if you are going to be using them with a style pp goes down really fast, you may not want to always fast travel to camp and sleep as some moves only have 5 or 10 pp and that doesn't last very long. Hopo berries and Leppa both restore 10pp to any 1 move. My advice is to use the hopo berries and sell off the Leppa berries or craft with the leppa berries and sell that item as you won't need them and they cost more to buy but with any berry you can get from trees.

Good video but if there is anything I can think of that you could've included in this video, it would be the farm at Jubilife Village, which of the options are worth buying, if any at all.

[@nicked_fenyx]

I think that will depend a lot on your playstyle. For those of us who actually use restoring items fairly often, the health items option is worth getting. That's pretty much all I use my farm for anymore, since I have a good route for farming Pokeball materials quickly myself and don't need the materials offered by the other options. But for Austin, the health items option on the farm would be useless since he doesn't mind interrupting whatever he's doing to make extra trips back to camp to rest. I'd say try them all once to see what materials you get (or look it up online), then decide based on what those materials allow you to craft which option is most helpful for you.

Buying the materials for crafting ultraballs is $40 cheaper per ultraball compared to if you buy them from the general store ($560 to buy the materials for ultraballs, $600 for the general shops ultraball)

[@daamazingfireman5566]

Fun tip: Shiny Crates = 1 Ultra Ball + Normal Loot Shiny Chests = 1 Nugget + Normal Loot

[@nb_nic]

I think the recovery items come in useful when you're trying to catch distortion Pokemon. whenever I see a distortion I try to catch all the Pokemon because it's a ton of money, and sometimes my level 93 legendary with maxed out EL's gets a little overwhelmed, especially if I get paralyzed in a 3-4 mon battle that I don't want to run from because it's a distortion. e: ESPECIALLY max ethers, agile extrasensory basically never kills anything in one shot and gets tons of extra chances to catch, so I have to keep it topped up since I only get 8-15 uses

[@moonbounce3797]

I didn't even realize the the recipes existed until after I beat Avalugg. I just crafted and accumulated items on my journey. I made potions just fine, and I somehow collected a ton of leppa berries. So I was good.

[@nicked_fenyx]

Similar story here. I didn't realize recipes existed until I got the side quest to craft a bean cake. I was like... "there are recipes???" Cue mass crafting of star pieces and massive influx of cash... which was immediately spent on that crook who promises to teach you to arrange things more efficiently in your bag, but only teaches you a fraction of his knowledge each time so he can max out the amount of money he takes from you. That guy really is the game's true villain.

[@jamesfoltz6697]

I hadnt realized prior to watching this that there were all those boxes and chests in that area. Lol so you learn something new everyday.

[@raymax_1071]

Thank you Austin, you are amazing, the experience itself is great but you just make these games much more efficient and therefore more fun for us.

[@ronn201]

During battle, you can just press X, then L or R to get to a Pokeball and press ZR to throw it. As you can skip the Item menu during battle, that's the reason why Recovery Items are given sorting priority over Pokeballs. Likewise, you can swap out a Pokemon like this during battle, instead of opening the menu (provided you don't need to check their HP).

[@aqua9926]

On my 3rd playthrough and just wanted to mention that Near the Shipwrecks at cobalt coastlands is a good place for people who haven't gotten to the highlands yet It's also really fast once you set up the extra camp

[@Deepseashark]

One thing Ill add/bring up is I see alot of tubers skipping out on the moving farmables but if your trying to get materials its better to go after them because doing the battles nets you more materials then if you just ignore it so it might be better to just do the fights

[@suicune2001]

Thanks! I keep my inventory pretty clean. Various pokeballs, a bunch of the base potion, and the blue berry for attracting a Pokemon's attention. That's it. lol

[@AndrewClementEOD]

Awesome farming route thank you love all the information in your videos!

[@charmedpipper1]

I have re-watched this video many times at this stage, thank you so much for all the details in this video, your the only person I watch for tips and advice!

[@MonkeyGod14]

Tip: if you need to get friend ship with a Pokémon his route is good for that

[@ScorgeTheDemon]

It’s not crafting but for item storage I always put evolution items in right once I can so if I die and I don’t (with my luck) lose all or most of them

[@Boozewa]

Farming Sticky Glob Ingredients: Mud Balls - Heatran's Cave Spoiled Apricorns - Leaf Piles Reload the area, rinse and repeat runs. You can add in other "checks" along the way, such as the Bandit Sisters or Kings Leaves you notice. Coastlands make for a good ingredient farm (imo)

[@SakuraChai]

I have to add, for spoiled Apricorns you can also use the farm as well, the worse the yield the more spoiled apricorns you get per farm.

[@WardenGrey]

Great video Austin. Now i know what to stockpile and what i can sell immediately. Thanks

[@emsentric1025]

FARMING TIP: if you beat Heatran go back in the cave, the mud balls (20) respawn. Also use the actual farm with apricorns. You get lots of spoiled apricorns from the farm.

[@ComfyCatNya]

Thank you so much for the organization tip! It’s always a hassle to use my smoke bombs, so now I know to just keep a couple types of pokeballs in my inventory

[@chaycesmith8763]

this dude right here CONSISTENTLY gives us the content we NEED

[@carloscastro3039]

No lie best KZbinr to give out these guides man so understandable

[@Omnicharlizard]

Quick question 😅 for the item farming route, do we have to go back to jubilife village or sleep a few times at camp for the boxes/crates to respawn?

[@CheesyTofuu]

45 secs into the video and it already helped me out. I'm at 30 hours and I didn't know you can but recipes for crafting......

[@ernestobolanos991]

That run to get items you did at the end, how do you reset those chests? Is it possible?

[@jbischof71]

Wow this video was a lot more helpful than I would have imagined it would be

[@blackcross1913]

There is also a berry that's yellow. I forget the name but restores 10 PP per berry. So if you have 0 out of 20 PP, use 2 berries, and you're good

[@rushardodonaldson2825]

Leppa

[@exannualspritecranberryrev8656]

So during the mission where you get a shiny ponyta… I went to horseshoe plains and got a RANDOM ENCOUNTER SHINY PONYTA. either that or the game glitched… but either way I got two. Even though i already have alpha shiny rapidash

[@billballmar6003]

Thanks for creating crafting to make and use. It will help a lot of us that's don't speed run but exploring for fun.

[@razzdiamond6447]

I never even bothered with the favorite feature until now, THANK YOU for this! I was lowkey struggling with the order in my satchel when I'm out catching/stunning pokemon but I just accepted it as a minor inconvenience

[@DavesConceptShow]

I sometimes don't like how little you keep the maps on screen but damn.. i finished the Pokedex thanks to you, so thanks as always! You are awesome

[@aloevera_54]

Great, concise guide as always. Thanks!

[@queeneon]

Max elixir are pretty bad compared to just grabbing a bunch of leppa berries which is what I used to get the 5 pp moves out of the way for certain dex entries

[@agamerin]

I don't even need to watch a video on crafting in this game but still watched this video from beginning to end for the great content.

[@Thunderella]

Thank you to Austin John and future Austin John 😄

[@SirJorgeaguilera]

Scatter bangs are useful sometimes! If you throw them at a Pokémon it will make the other Pokémon run while the one that was hit by the scatter bang stays in one spot. Makes it easier to corner one Pokémon!

[@munchrai6396]

Personally, I like having multiple items that use the same material because then I can just focus on one item like King's Leaves and just craft them whenever I need them

[@josephrojas9097]

Thanks for the quality video. Love the big Aries energy 😂

[@Plasmafox]

I craft elixirs because the alternative for mobile PP is carrying the leppa berries- which are throwable, meaning one more thing to scroll past when you're trying to stun and backstrike something while under fire. The 1 more craft item to manage is tolerable in comparison

[@aostudio3730]

Could you possibly talk about what's the best route to get Iron chunks? I always seem to run out whenever I need to make more jet/gigaton/ultra balls.

[@yaycupcake]

I found potions really useful and actually vital to my playthrough, but I wasn't overleveled at all, I was just about at par with where I think I should be for that point in the game. Of course it depends how you play, but I wouldn't completely write off the potions (and their upgrades) for every player. Plus, I always had an insane amount of oran berries, so it was never actually hard to keep a supply of potions, since the other items to create and upgrade them were common enough that I could just craft a few extra now and again. They saved me in a few fights so I wouldn't have ever gone out without them in my playthrough. The same exact thing can be said for revives actually. I think something to take note of with revives specifically is if your Pokemon is knocked out in the battle, you won't gain exp on them even if they weren't fainted after one of the enemy Pokemon (exp is gained after the fight ends and not between Pokemon knocked out) so if your Pokemon faints they just get nothing. Like okay sure you can just encounter another Pokemon for exp but sometimes it's easier to just pop a revive so they can get exp and you don't have to go farm for exp again after.

[@dogotanz]

Love your content, love your elaboration and love your attention to detail. Literally every single details loved

[@YOLOfication]

I was lost on which to keep and what to sell. Thanks you for the guide now i can move on my pokemon journey.

[@tuxtheterrorist2553]

This video helped me with many things like what's the best way to use crafting items and what to use them on and many other things like what things to buy and what to sell this entire video was very helpful

[@dxjxc91]

I use hyper potions all the time. Sure, I could fast travel back to camp then run/fly back to whatever I was doing, but that takes time. And being level 100 does not make you need healing less.

[@charlesedwinbooks]

oh my gosh I need to favorite. Its been such a pain trying to go from pokeball, to disruption item, back to pokeball, before time runs out
