Same I thought when I reach motostroke they will all be high leveled I was capturing and training and exploring for over 3 hours When I reached there they were all level 14 and under while my pokemons are over level 23 so it was all easy lol
Exactly what i was thinking. I had just started the game and spent the first 2-3 hours running around in the high level area. It was terrifying but mesmerizing as well lmao
For anyone who doesn’t know: Once you get the water bike upgrade after the ice gym, head to outrage lake and go to the curving path to the left once in the lake. There’s rock structures that have evolutionary stones at their base!
I’d recommend getting a Nickit with the ability Run Away early on, so even if a strong looking pokemon catches up to you you can always escape the fight.
Honestly, this might be my favorite pokemon game. I was very nervous about it because of all of the controversy around it but I absolutely love the games. They're easily the best games so far. I also like how long the game is, especially when you have the massive wild area to explore. I've probably played for 20 hours already (I know, I have no life) and I'm only about to do the fourth gym.
The internet: "The trees have low resolution textures, this game is unplayable." Me: "This game has a massive open area with hundreds of different Pokemon roaming around, I wish I could go back in time and show this to myself at 10 years old."
Zac PS Most people are bothered by the Dex cut more than anything. The low res texture highlighted the lies the devs made about cutting pokemons because “upgraded models and animations...bla bla bla... quality over quantity...” Techwise, it’s the same game, just like the handheld version, even with better hardware. Games like Fire Emblems Three Houses actually make use of the Switch’s hardware for a much bigger technical jump than the 3DS era. Pokemon fans aren’t very picky about what the Pokemon Company threw at them every year. Most of them are either kids or people who play Pokemon for 20 years. People complain and buy the game anyway. There’s literally no competition to Pokemon.
I thought buying this game will be boring and not fun but I felt really positive about this game despite being called a disappointing game by other people
Bruh I remember when I first got my switch. Literally sometime in 2019 at 12 am my 2nd oldest bro was like "hey let's get a switch" so me, my mom and my 2 brothers go to Walmart at 12 am, I got let's go pikachu they got smash. Then I got sword and shield for Christmas and that was the best present ever because I don't regret it at all
Muhammad Dawood Hernia I love pokemon and spent every dollar I got on pokemon cards when I was younger, I had almost every elite box and Idk what a white herb does
The game: this Pokemon won't let it's guard down Me: but it's at one HP The game: No no no you don't get it... The Pokemon won't let it's guard down Me: But it's asleep The game: It's too high level for you to catch Me: but Its level 26 and my Pokemon are level 29 The game: Dude... Just go fight Nessa and get the next gym badge then you can catch a level 30 Pokemon Me: eh okay
Earlier tonight I failed a catch with 3 great balls and 1 ultra ball, nothing past one shake...grew tired of wasting my good balls and the threw a normal one, caught the fucker on first try....I saved and turned it off for the night...I feel like they ruined the catch rate for certain balls that some of us have been used to since the red, blue and yellow days
Honestly the wild area and raid battles are the best addition ever to pokemon. You get caught up in them pretty quickly. I almost forgot to begin the gym challenge
Did you ever get around to makin’ the “Pokémon you don’t need to evolve, since you can catch them” video? You do awesome work explaining things, would love to check out that guide!
Tip: Turn on your internet, and other players will walk around. If you talk to them, sometimes they will give you curry ingredients or stardust and pearls
I bought Pokemon Shield last week, I have 14 hours playing time and even attempted the first gym yet. First pokemon I've played since Ruby and Im living for it
Basically the reason I ended up with a yamper as my strongest Pokemon. Little pup was like 7-8 levels ahead of the rest of my team before I stopped giving him candy. He eventually took down at least one of the champions Pokemon... After being a staple in all my gym battles
The wild area is probably the best part of the game, I've spent 90% of my playthrough there powerleveling and catching stuff, the weather determines what spawns too
I beat a lvl 28 Haunter with my lvl 14 Zigzagoon, because it's part dark-type and immune to ghost moves. Hopefully I can finally get a Gengar after years of not knowing anyone I could trade with.
I had my Intellion before the gym challenge opener. I haven’t got the bike yet, and I already have Coalassol. I fear the grinding is so addicting in this game
@@broby06 What's fun as hell is surprise trading for a level 1 pokemon (I've gotten a few Dreepys like that) and loading them up with 30 L Exp Candies and seeing what happens!
@@m.p.sutherlandjr.6905 lol, yeah I did that with the lvl 1 they give you at the daycare, sadly dont have switch online so cant trade and have to deal with crap ai for lvl 5 max raids, lol.
Re: ghost Pokémon not being available early on: eh, Gold and Silver and their various remakes had Gastly available before the first gym. I know that was a long time ago, but still.
I do the last extra shake every time and never get encounters. The only time I get unintended tree encounters is when I’m not paying attention and shake the tree after that.
@@hollyhartwick3832 It's rare but it can in fact happen on the second try. Happen a few times to me. I even got attacked on my 2nd shake at least 2 or 3 times.
just wanna say, u can shake the berrytree 2 times when it shakes fast, the 3rd would be encounter ur only unlucky if it shakes fast at 1st time shakin the tree, there can come an encounter at the 2nd tree shake
The wild area is awesome! Gengar is one of my absolute favourites, and even though I want to build my team using only new Galar Pokémon I was so excited when I first saw all those Gastly roaming around the tower area and then got frustrated when I realised I couldn't catch them yet. But since a lot of Pokemon you encounter at the beginning of the game are either part dark type or learn dark type moves, I was able to defeat a lot of Gastly with my team and managed to lvl up to 24 before even approaching the first gym challenge. Now I'm on my way to the fifth gym and my team is at lvl 43 while I managed to catch 75 Pokemon so far. I was worried when I got the games because of all the hatred towards the development but I have to say I actually haven't seen one single issue that would take away from my enjoyment of the game. Really enjoying sword so far and I already can't wait to start a new adventure on my copy of shield.
Also if you interact with other players in the wild area that are just standing there, they could give you ingredients for curry making or other items like pearls
It’s so nice to see a UA-camr just enjoying the game rather than throwing what can only really be called a tantrum and calling it “Controversy”, seriously I’m a few hours in and I love it so much, the overworld Pokémon, the graphics, the wild area, and the world looks absolutely breathtaking.
Thanks for the sharing these tips austin. I'm about 10 or so hours in and would highly recommend doing max raid battles to build a team especially after the first gym. When I was at 27ish, I could pretty much solo level 1 and 2 star raids with minimal help from the NPCs. It's a great way to build out a team and get items that can be used later.
Honestly this game is way better than I thought. I spent way too long in this wild area and the raid battles are just a beauty. Really really great. I was bummed that they took mega evo’s away but this makes up for it... in a way
@@maybenick You mean they had it set at a 60$ dollar, modern console standard. Yeah, they did. Pokemon is working on current generation hardware. They need to be compared to current generation hardware games. They just aren't up to par with this game. Maybe next time.
You can get leftovers from berry trees as well. Thanks to your vid, I now realize that we can cross the bridge to the powerful area (thought it was late game) & the first tree on the right netted me my second leftovers. I am loving sword & shield, the wild area brings so much early game variety.
Idk what all these bad reviews are coming from I freaking love this game! Cant stop playing it and the wild area is so cool especially since you can catch 3rd Evolutions
@@ilufam ign gave this game a 9.3 out of 10 and their review was completely bias as they never mentioned any criticism and just talked about the battles and catching pokemon and nothing else it got a good review just because it's called Pokémon
@@YanaBana I have an xbox one I'll use that when I'm looking for games with good graphics lol you act like they didnt improve at all looks way better then omega ruby and sapphire the last games I played
It's also worth mentioning that you can get curry ingredients and other items from other players you can talk to in the Wild area. Especially if you enable internet connectivity on the y-comm
I would like to say Thank you. Your guides have help me in Pokemon sword. I appreciate how you explain things. Keep up the good work. New watcher to your channel..😀
Got an idea for a Pokémon game. It’s a game that takes place when all of the regions have been discovered. It’s a game were you can go to all regions and play through all separate storylines after becoming the champion of the past region. You can keep your Pokémon or have a fresh start. The Pokémon will be in the box if they aren’t on your team.
Hey Austin, just so you know, you can shake the tree one more time after the time you had stopped, but if you do it two times then something will attack. So you can get a few more berries if you do it once more and you should be safe, I've never been attacked at that stage once.
Battling Chloe is one of the easiest ways to get Sirfetch'd because it requires defeating 3 Trainer Pokemon straight, and then gets switched out. So if you need to evolve multiple Galarian Farfetch'd, Chloe's the key, especially if you have finished all the random trainers in the map outside the Wild Area.
Playing this with my kid, and while he's played some of the original Pokemon games he had a hard time getting super into the older styled graphics with other flashy games distracting him. This feels like the first Pokemon of his generation. We both cleared let's go e/p 100%, and that was his first time completing a Pokedex, but I kept telling him it wasn't a full fledged "actual" Pokemon game. Now he's got something more modern, and also full of new and refreshing content. Got the double pack, and I'm just as lost as he is haha. He's got Shield, and I got stuck with Sword (he did his homework), but I'm keeping our double pack bonus as a surprise for later (when I actually figure out how to use them). Gotta catch up to him though he had a couple day head start. He's also got the flu, and has had the last few days off of school which he is actually pretty stoked about haha. He was sick before he even knew I bought us the double pack too so he's not faking it lol.
I remember I went to crown tundra as soon as I could, did like three dynamax adventures, got 3 lvl 70 Pokémon, and did almost the whole crown tundra story, all before my first gym.
After you've completed 8 gyms you can catch every pokemon that roam around (that used to be very strong). If you travel as far north-west as you can, there's a circle of stones. Behind every stone there's a evolution stone, and once a day it spawns a Eevee evolution that you can catch :) To reach the place, you need the bike that can ride on water. And if you clear every single raid in the zone, new ones respawn. Purple ones being "rare" with very nice rewards for its star rank (1-5 compared to normal raids 1-5 stars).
Imagine if they updated the wild every so often to include pokemon from the national dex? This way they can take the time they didn't have before the games release to update all the sprites and also all the poke fans mad and trh exclusion of the national dex can be happy. Also it would add so much replayability to the game. Pokemon GO does this so could this game!
@@silverdirtdraws9828 I think it's safe to say that the majority has a way to connect, and if you can't then you will find satisfaction in completing the galar Pokedex

lol, it couldn't get to you because it thought that it was stuck in electroweb and it just gave up
I was in the wild area for an hour before I even went into Motostoke.
Yea ik the feeling been there way to long had few pokemon lv 29 till i left ... >
me too! :P
i was there for 3, and I left because I couldnt catch anything at my level because I had grinded so fast and lost track of time

“The animations do look beautiful”
r/pokemon: well yes but actually no
But for real the game is great
I mean their right tho
memeasourus rex Tbf the new animations look good. Only the really old ones are just left there and look outdatet.
Yuukicchi they look good it’s just there was higher expectations as a reason for cutting the dex was to improve animations.
Kieran Stewart people had their expectations set too high before the game was even announced
@@maybenick You mean they had it set at a 60$ dollar, modern console standard. Yeah, they did. Pokemon is working on current generation hardware. They need to be compared to current generation hardware games. They just aren't up to par with this game. Maybe next time.
You can get leftovers from berry trees as well. Thanks to your vid, I now realize that we can cross the bridge to the powerful area (thought it was late game) & the first tree on the right netted me my second leftovers. I am loving sword & shield, the wild area brings so much early game variety.
Idk what all these bad reviews are coming from I freaking love this game! Cant stop playing it and the wild area is so cool especially since you can catch 3rd Evolutions
The bad reviews are from the many problems in it those being the game not looking the best and game freak lying to fans plus many more
there are barely bad reviews the people that aren't reviewers talk the game bad
This is not a good game you won’t be playing this after two weeks
@@ilufam ign gave this game a 9.3 out of 10 and their review was completely bias as they never mentioned any criticism and just talked about the battles and catching pokemon and nothing else it got a good review just because it's called Pokémon
@@YanaBana I have an xbox one I'll use that when I'm looking for games with good graphics lol you act like they didnt improve at all looks way better then omega ruby and sapphire the last games I played
It's also worth mentioning that you can get curry ingredients and other items from other players you can talk to in the Wild area. Especially if you enable internet connectivity on the y-comm
I would like to say Thank you. Your guides have help me in Pokemon sword. I appreciate how you explain things. Keep up the good work. New watcher to your channel..😀
Got an idea for a Pokémon game.
It’s a game that takes place when all of the regions have been discovered.
It’s a game were you can go to all regions and play through all separate storylines after becoming the champion of the past region.
You can keep your Pokémon or have a fresh start.
The Pokémon will be in the box if they aren’t on your team.
Domenator 1000 and call it Pokemon World
@@morrisbertrand4 will do.
i was in the wild are for 3 hours before i reach the fist city, i was happily surprised by the raid battles and how communal and rewarding they are.
Haven't been able to find people to join. How long did you wait before people joined?
Hey Austin, just so you know, you can shake the tree one more time after the time you had stopped, but if you do it two times then something will attack. So you can get a few more berries if you do it once more and you should be safe, I've never been attacked at that stage once.
Im still waiting for mine to come i ordered it online :(
Golisopod Gaming I was going to do the same but decided to just download it ! I couldn’t wait lol
same. mine got delayed so most likely I'm getting it tomorrow
I have to wait until Tuesday even though I preordered it. Amazon. 😩
I preordered it and it won't arrive before day 19😭
I did the same thing and gotta til the 25th 🤷🏾♂️
you can also get the tart apple from some dude in the dragon town by giving him an applin (he will give it back)
Can you get the sweet apple the same way???
@@trafalgarlawsgurl21 yeah, the item u get from that boy is determined by the version u have
@@nopedontthinkso thanks for the info
Not sure if this was mentioned, but the berry trees also drop Leftovers.
really? what are the percentages on that?
You're a real one with those tips 👍🏼 Keep em coming!
Hello everyone in the comments! How are u doing? Im just waiting for my package of Pokemon SWSH!
I got an hour before I can get mine, but I'm so exited wooooo!! I've been counting the days until release, I'm so excited.
At least you get it soon. I got to wait 38 days till Christmas 😭😭😭
@@Leo-te4gy........Im sorry for u..........
Mine coming in Monday.
I have to wait like three hours for my dad to pick it up, but I’m PUMPED
Battling Chloe is one of the easiest ways to get Sirfetch'd because it requires defeating 3 Trainer Pokemon straight, and then gets switched out. So if you need to evolve multiple Galarian Farfetch'd, Chloe's the key, especially if you have finished all the random trainers in the map outside the Wild Area.
Also I accidentally overleveled my starter to 42 and I'm only on the 4th gym 😬
Lol Im at 39 on my 3rd gym
Elemental Ninja im 39 on 4th gym
Im50 on the last gym
Wait so I shouldn't be at lvl 49 before my 4 gym battle😂
Lmfaoooo
Playing this with my kid, and while he's played some of the original Pokemon games he had a hard time getting super into the older styled graphics with other flashy games distracting him. This feels like the first Pokemon of his generation. We both cleared let's go e/p 100%, and that was his first time completing a Pokedex, but I kept telling him it wasn't a full fledged "actual" Pokemon game. Now he's got something more modern, and also full of new and refreshing content. Got the double pack, and I'm just as lost as he is haha. He's got Shield, and I got stuck with Sword (he did his homework), but I'm keeping our double pack bonus as a surprise for later (when I actually figure out how to use them). Gotta catch up to him though he had a couple day head start. He's also got the flu, and has had the last few days off of school which he is actually pretty stoked about haha. He was sick before he even knew I bought us the double pack too so he's not faking it lol.
I don't even have the games but Im still watching EVERY video on them that I can find.
I remember I went to crown tundra as soon as I could, did like three dynamax adventures, got 3 lvl 70 Pokémon, and did almost the whole crown tundra story, all before my first gym.
“Wooder stone” - Austin John, 2019
Weaves through strong looking machops
Austin:”Now this is pod racing”
Austin: explores entire wild area first time he visits
Me: completely ignored it and moved on
Vidyut Venkatesan same here lol I wanted to finish the game then explore it so I can catch all the pokemon :0
After you've completed 8 gyms you can catch every pokemon that roam around (that used to be very strong).
If you travel as far north-west as you can, there's a circle of stones. Behind every stone there's a evolution stone, and once a day it spawns a Eevee evolution that you can catch :)
To reach the place, you need the bike that can ride on water.
And if you clear every single raid in the zone, new ones respawn. Purple ones being "rare" with very nice rewards for its star rank (1-5 compared to normal raids 1-5 stars).
Caught a machamp in the wild area, I love this game. It was really hard though, almost went through all of my pokeballs
ikr i was trying to catch an oddish but it kept poisoning me and i kept blacking out
Imagine if they updated the wild every so often to include pokemon from the national dex? This way they can take the time they didn't have before the games release to update all the sprites and also all the poke fans mad and trh exclusion of the national dex can be happy. Also it would add so much replayability to the game. Pokemon GO does this so could this game!
Just, yknow, screw people who dont have access to internet for their consoles
@@silverdirtdraws9828 as of 2017, 76% of Americans have internet access in their home. 😁
@@GrantisSquarepantis7 im not talking about americans im talking about the whole of pokemons audience. More of the world exists than just america
@@silverdirtdraws9828 I think it's safe to say that the majority has a way to connect, and if you can't then you will find satisfaction in completing the galar Pokedex
lol stayed in the wild area for hours, my pokemon were lvl 50 by the time I started the gym challenge
Thank you so much this guide is just nice to understand and it’s relaxing to watch u explore and talk mate
I wish I had a Switch! T_T I know I'm going to love this new gen of Pokemon!
Came to find some things about the game when I got confused. Stayed because honestly you give very good and in-depth explanations of the topic on hand
Everyone. Turn off autosave. Your switch could get bricked if you don't.
I evolved my starters before even starting a gym.
Since I learned about the Xp candy I’ve been doing raid battles for it to level my scorbunny.
Loving the game so far. I spent to many hours running around the wild area early game. Going to head back after the fire badge.
I just got this game today and I love it. Your videos have been very helpful.
I just caught a wild belossom i was like cant believe my eyes
Just got this game two days ago. Can’t wait to get off today to start. Been holding out so I could have a good amount of time to play when I start. Thanks for the early tips!
I’m watching all these new Pokémon youtubers and they don’t know Pokémon before gen 6 I swear
I love the Wild Area soooo much! My starter was basically the Honedge I got on my 3rd raid
I’m getting it in THREE HOURS
Just love the music. Especially the Gym battles. Rival battle music is real nice to. They hit it on the spot!
