  • Pokemon Sword and Shield are the new generation of the Pokemon series, and as always there are a ton of brand new Pokemon that are available to collect. But what does it take to get them all? Today we're going to find out how easily you can catch every Pokemon in Pokemon Sword and Shield! This video took a lot of time and effort to put together, so I'd really appreciate it if you shared this with a friend. If you have any suggestions for the next video, leave it in the comments below!

      Yeah same here man.... I’m new to the channel, so I thought “oh damn, this dude be getting the whole Galar Pokedex in 24hrs... While I’m sitting here, day 2 of praying that the RNG will give me a battle with a wild Torkol / Hawlucha? Yeah this might be useful”
      Don’t get me wrong, it’s a useful video, but it’s only really useful for getting part of the Dex, and implies you can just log the others once Pokemon Home comes out.

  • @ZeroHero3d
    @ZeroHero3d Před 4 lety +132

    Minor point of correction: the reason Piers doesn't Dynamax his pokemon isn't because he doesn't believe in the idea, it's because he just can't actually perform it. Spikemuth doesn't have a Power Spot like the other Gyms in Galar, so his Pokemon literally can't use the energy to Dynamax at all, unlike the other leaders.
    This is why Spikemuth is such a shanty town, unlike other cities in Galar which are more like bustling metropolis' in comparrison.

    • @Kandall05161
      @Kandall05161 Před 4 lety +24

      You're both half right. He doesn't dynamax because you can't dynamax in Spikemuth, but he also willingly chooses not to dynamax in areas where he can (gym leader tournament in Wyndon stadium) to prove that you don't need dynamaxing to win, which is I think what John meant.

    There's a static impidimp encounter at the beginning of those woods if you just press A on the ones you see just out of bounds on the right.
    The Wild Area Duraludon is way more consistent/easy to get (since it's a strong overworld spawn that's almost always there); if you don't find the 1% encounter on your first pass through on that snowy route, it's not worth wasting time hunting for it.

    The capture level restriction kinda helps in limiting what I can feasibly catch at any given time during the story and the only outliers are the Max Raid Battles that can spawn mid-late game mons (ex catching raid Noibat and having to evolve it in the high 40s).

      @#1 ratbag Not really. I've been playing pokemon since gen 1 got released, and most prominently still play Gens 2 and 3 be it Crystal Bingos or Emerald and Fire Red randomizers and nuzlockes.
      Up until Gen 3, at most you had 1 or 2 tasks that required you to talk to someone before progressing. And the more you play those 3 gens, the more you will notice that you don't have any annoying NPCs constantly holding your hand through cutscenes and game mechanics you already know from other games - other than the "catching pokemon tutorial NPC".
      Starting with Pokemon Black/White it became very stupid how the games tell you "things." But from X and Y, the handholding became obnoxious. The obscene amount of cutscenes, the useless and often patronizing information and NPCs. It only got worse with time. SwSh is a really neat game, but the ridiculous amount of unskippable cutscenes, the amount of time you spend seeing Hop, the number of times you get NPCs - including Hop - telling you about "type effectiveness" it's just off-putting. None of this happened in the first 3 generations.

Galarian Yamask is based off of Norse Runestones that served as burial markers, detailing the exploits of the warriors who died there. Many had "curses" on them, essentially cursing you if you damaged or destroyed them. Thus when Yamask (the norse rune stone) is damaged, it evolves into Runerigus. Not sure the purpose of the bridge however.
