next challenge: complete the dex in radical red

[@ERAlpha]

Oh...

[@rap2H]

It's a good idea but I've been trying to do that but I don't think it's possible yet, unless you're very lucky on randomizer. Some pokemon (specially legendaries) are not yet available. Waiting for the post game fot this game yo see if completion would already be possible.

"Might get too overleveled to the poi t of my pokemon notmlisteobg to me" When you hit level 16... You are getting like 1 exp per battle. At level 17 you receive 0. They will still listen to you at 17.

They will even listen to you if you are level 100. they don’t listen if they are not your Pokemon

[@NijiMarii]

@@awhvex7188 It depends on trainer ID and secret ID, not just the name. the code you used must've screwed with the IDs somehow. A pokemon you caught naturally in your own game will never disobey you

Also, you can get Hoopa from one of the raid dens AFTER the league has been beaten, which sucks. I think it's the raid den in Victory Road, but you might need to fact check that one! You can find the info in the docs! Definitely worth reading!

[@JJvonEmiya]

victory road you can find 6 star raid Hoopa, Shaymin, Mew, Volcanion. 5 star raid Regi Trio, Uxie, Mesprit

this was probably hard, but there are little shiny spots where when you step on them you're guaranteed to get a shiny the next encounter (and you're guaranteed to step on at least one of these). so :P

Just because the screenshot of around 1h15min and he also noted he uses speed up x15 times, and with those normal ods - perfect✌️

[@krymson93]

Loved the video. Btw, the way you farmed all that money was selling lucky eggs from the Pelippers? I'm trying to do this same challenge.

[@ERAlpha]

I got the amulet coin in celadon city then just equipped it on my lead Pokémon, I also fought as many raids as I could do maximize my money. You could also grind out lucky eggs cause they drop like crazy

[@rexflash321]

Tip for dexnav shiny hunting, max search level(255) first then kill 100 of that pokemon then save before 101st encounter. Your 101st encounter will have the best shiny odds so just soft reset until you get one :)

[@humblepotato5014]

if you took a shot everytime "as you see" was said, you would be dead before the 20 minute mark

[@nolanmiller1981]

You have been absolutely GRINDING the videos. Been watching for a while and still waiting for you to get all the recognition deserved

[@xantiagoraco]

Just a quick note for everyone playing this game. Do not buy drugs! For ev training in the new versions of the game, there's an ev trainer in Lavender town. If you have an older version, and even in the newest version for more speed, if you have surf go around the map searching the people behind ponds, like the guy in vermillion or celadon city. Those guys give you the anklets, that speed up the process of ev training exponentialy. Also the're areas specially designed to ev train Hp evs = Viridian city waters Atk evs = grass under Pallet town Sp atk. Evs = Cerulean city waters Def evs = route 14, behind a cuttable tree Sp def evs = route 21 above Cinnabar Island Speed evs = Celadon city waters Check the bulbapedia if you doubt the ev yield of the pokemon you are facing, but this is how I ev trained my mons in version 2.1 and it only took like 4 minutes for pefect evs in a single stat with the anklets. Good luck!

[@rap2H]

Alpha, hoopa would be in one of the raids. IIRC the den in victory road, 6* den. I myself have not gotten it though but am aiming for it on one of my saves. Hope this info helps. Please name a pokemon Aleph. :)

I wish there was more definitive proof on the starters being shiny locked. They aren't in fire red so it would be weird for radical red to lock them.

[@racerboy3332]

My brother got shiny squirtle

[@_piranha]

It's definitely not shiny locked, plenty of people have asked on the discord, and radical red has never shiny locked pokemon, because that's just additional pointless coding, if they even wanted to do that. I think the person that said it probably went over odds and went "eh probably shiny locked"

@@nashgross8658 I don't know if its a feature of this rom hack but in the actual sword and shield games there are things called raids in game in which random dynamaxed pokemon can be found in glowing red rocks scattered around the area. If you beat the boss pokemon you get a chance to catch it. The star signifies how hard the raid is and the rarity of the pokemon you can find. For example in a 6* you could find hoopa while a 1* would give you something like clefairy
