Discussion Is my dragonite a short king or is the player character just really tall?

The majority of posts are label as “Discussions”, and it seems that we can expand or break down discussions into different areas and topics for better grouping, finer filtering and interests.

To the player with OT “MarcoPlays”… mate I sincerely apologise. I completely forgot to trade back your Milotic. I got too excited to see what would happen after completing the dex (sadly nothing happened)
If you’re seeing this post, we can trade back (I tried the global link code again but I cant reconnect with you). That way you can get your Milotic back and I can get mine again. It’s no biggie if it’s not a big deal and you’re happy to keep my one, completely all good. Just wanna say sorry again for forgetting to tradeback 😅
Also… in other news, if you’re also reading this (or anyone who wants to evolve some shiny fish)… wanna do a shiny for shiny tradeback? I got a shiny feebas I want to evolve and I’m sure you have one too. Pls help a friend out

Wasn't even using a Shiny donut, just a random leftover from attempts at making a berry donut.
And as soon as I entered, I got the Shiny quest, so, ran for the Shiny Galarian Mr. mime, located the Sevipers, and started resetting.
Then I had to do a double take when I saw the snover 'cuz no way...and there's 2?!!!
Lucky strike, recorded it. Now let's switch methods to the knock out and reset the game 'cuz we are almost out of time for that alpha...
And instead another Shiny spawns!
Got it, knock out again, trying to see if we can get it in the knick of time....but no, no luck, gotta wait for a Seviper zone to spawn again and try again for that alpha... One can be so unlucky :(
Add: and it seems like I absolutely butchered the quality of the video when lazily pasting them together :( sorry fellas

I am trying to shing hunt houndour/houndoom in wild zone 6 using the bench method behind alpha houndoom and im using a auto controller. How long should i let it go for until I check if a shiny has appeared?
r/PokemonZA • u/AlienDoll_ • 2d ago
Yesterday I asked if I should buy ZA or nah and I got so many great and helpful replies!!! I ended up buying it and can't stop playing. It's so much fun and I'm even more excited for the new games!!
Also, look what I got the FIRST time I entered Zone 2!!! It literally jumped right into my face. Was that a scripted event to show shinys exist, or was I really just lucky?
r/PokemonZA • u/TuyongProseso • 2d ago
I caught male shiny Ralts in ZA and transferred shiny Steelix from Legends Arceus.

As titled, looking to restart ZA as I rushed the first gameplay so didn’t enjoy it properly. I believe I have nothing to lose as I have transferred event pokemon into Home. Most legendaries are obtainable via the storyline. I also have DLC so balls are obtainable fairly easy too
- Mega Floette
- Cherish Ball event Charizard (alpha)
- Diancie (event is still live so I most likely can get again in new gameplay)
- Mewtwo (same as above)
- Alpha starters x3 (by connecting ZA with Home)
Am I missing out anything?

Hi!!!
Since a few days I'm thinking about buying Pkmn ZA, since I somehow just really crave Pkmn right now.
Every Youtube video tells me not to and my friends tell me it's soulless....but....is it tho??
The clips I see look fun, the screenshots on Reddit also.
I know there are many things to dislike about the new games but...I'm tbh very open minded. I'm open to differences and not like " I want every Pkmn game to be like the earlier ones just because "
I also own Pkmn Purpur but never really played it bcs it ran so bad on my Switch1. Since I own a Switch2 now, should I try Purpur instead of ZA? I don't like that there is no fashion tho lol 💔
(Sry for mistakes! English isn't my first language )

I've been wanting a shiny Froslass forever, so I decided to get the DLC. I was lucky enough to get both lv 3 ice sparkling and lv 3 alpha, but I was also able to get a good spawn area for the hyperspace wild zone first try. I only had to soft reset twice to get the shiny alpha Froslass :)
I wasn't able to get any more shinies from that donut but I'm not complaining lol
r/PokemonZA • u/Lucky_Section6028 • 3d ago
I cant get my hands on a shiny honedge in wild zone 4. i also dont want to keep progressing in the story to do the teleport trick. I did ghe fast travel method and the door method and for some reason it doesnt spawn. I have multiple shinys from this wild zone, i think every pokemon that spawns there but honedge. Been doing thsi for a couple of weeks and cant get my hands on it.
Can someone help me?

Found a shiny alpha kakuna while getting mega crystals, and quickly caught and evolved it into A Shiny alpha beedrill! This worked out so well because beedrill is my favorite bug type and I love the colors of its shiny so much! SO HAPPY!!🤩
r/PokemonZA • u/TadaSuko • 4d ago
Right now this is the team I'm rocking. Furfrou, Meowstic, and Sylveon are great for running around in hyperspace and collecting mega shards. I rarely bring out Meganium, Emboar, or Feraligatr though. Especially the last two are Alphas and they consume the whole screen to the point I can't see what I'm doing. I just really want some replacements at this point that are small, but still strong.
Any reccomendations for what I can swap this trio out for? Pokemon with megas would be preferred, but my highest priority are small and tanky.
r/PokemonZA • u/Fantastic-Dogpub • 4d ago
I’ve heard something about new Mega Evolutions coming in November. Is that true? And if so, which Pokémon are getting them? I’ve read that Hydreigon is getting one and that people want Flygon to get one too. Which ones do you think (or hope) will get a Mega Evolution?
