PokeRogue Is The Most Fun I've Ever Had In A Pokemon Game!

[@flameshock1013]

A little note for the future. If you see a P or an N next to a move or ability, that means that it is either not implimented or partially implimented. This means that some moves and abilities only work partially while others don't work at all and some of the moves and abilities you mentioned sadly do not work like they should yet. Thankfully those things will be updated in future updates.

[@allistertheantihero9289]

Also another PSA on top of this, Upper Hand specifically is partially implemented like a lot of other moves, but the way it’s partially implemented makes it BUSTED. It’s basically fighting type jet punch

[@omegamad]

@@allistertheantihero9289 when i first played sucker punch was partially implemented which was kind of insane

[@remiliyu]

Ok so, shiny pokemon actualy serve a purpose in this game other than look prety. At the end of each fight you get a selection of pokeballs containing items, these pokeballs have a small chance of upgrading to the next tier, shiny pokemon in your team increase that chance, so the more shinies you have in your team the higher your chance of getting better items. This makes the shinny egg gacha the best option for the most part.

[@silverytc1566]

If you see on the starter screen a pink border around certain Pokemon, this is Pokerus and it changes every day. This means that you get 1.5x EXP for your Pokemon and it can spread to others in your party. What I like to do is choose the least expensive Pokerus Pokemon and add it to my team so it can spread it my initial starter. Then once it spreads I can get rid of it and continue the process. Having that extra EXP boost is really important in later runs

[@hppvitor]

Great tip since it's something the tutorial alludes to but doesn't explain what it is, expecting you to find out by yourself (which is a great thing the game does often btw)

[@Niedal-ou5xv]

Fun fact: The rng in this game is not random at all, every action you do in a battle has a predetermined result no matter the timing you do the action or how u mess around in the menu. Example if you choose a move that move missses (lets say its the first turn of the battle) and u close the game reopen it (that makes the game restart the battle) and choose the same move again it will always miss. Same happens with the rewards at the end of each battle so same battle same rewards no matter how many times you repeat it. That is a very abusable aspect of the game and can make your runs way easier.

[@SkyJUSTIN6]

You can lock your rewards at different places to fuck with what you get at the end.

[@MrPatrickbuit]

So you could theoretically reroll your reward to check if the items are good and then reset if they’re not?

[@Comicsexplainedshorts]

most rogue-likes are abuseable like this

[@JRRM99]

I’m so glad that this game has become so large, I joined when the most popular person playing it had a few thousand subs, and now I’ve seen both you and ALPHARAD play it

[@MattyStarX64]

Glad to see you found this! By the way, to get regional forms for Pokemon like Pikachu, you have to evolve them in certain biomes or at certain times, which can really be RNG-dependent.

[@AcIsTheName]

It's not entirely RNG dependent, you just have to play Classic enough. Bring at least one mon that you want to evolve, as well as as many shinies as you can without sacrificing your run. Once you get a run that nets you an early map, you can start plotting your course, starting from the biome you're currently in. Biomes in Classic come in a fixed order, with some branching routes available. This means that with a map, you can pick and choose where you end up, and that'll let you catch specific pokemon, or get certain evolutions/forms.

Here is a great tip: Start with Quilfish (egg move Barb Barrage), Scraggy, and Drilbur. The scraggy sweeps early game, and Quilfish sweeps late game. Do not remove them from the team, unless you find their evolutions (Catch a Scrafty and replace the Staggy) It can get you into at least the early 100’s

Imaging that eternatus can see countless apparitions of the main character and mentioning he's the only one there but he feels like there's another, is chilling

[@BryenttTeh]

Another tip : always have a tab with Pokémon types and counters to those types. You don’t have to study them, just look at them while playing. Some of the counters to Pokémon are also quite logical like fire counters grass because fire burns grass. Water counters fire because water puts out fire. Stuff like that

[@gururaven]

Those egg moves aren't guaranteed for every egg - only the first one of any given species is guaranteed. Hatching the same pokemon multiple times doesn't always give a new egg move after that first one.

[@Rawrtortle]

Technically, it does give you an egg move each time. It's just that if you already have that egg move, nothing happens, and it seems like it doesn't give you one.

[@gururaven]

@@Rawrtortle which means, as I said, it doesn't always give you one. If it rolls a move you already have unlocked, it fails and instead gives you nothing. You aren't technically correct, you are strictly wrong.
