Is this an intentional FEATURE or an EXPLOIT or oversight from the developers? Let me know what you think below! I'm aware that trading to complete a Pokedex has been around since GEN 1, but fulfilling a certain amount of caught species is brand new to PLA - hence why this is so busted.
It's a feature, evolving a pokemon also counts as catching a pokemon. Any way you aquire a mon counts as catching. It would also be really hard for the game to remember every mon you've ever traded, so it won't know you are returning the same mon.
Not sure this is an exploit after all, when you evolve a Pokemon it counts as "Caught" as well. caught in this game is likely just the same as "acquired"
also, all pokemon games i've played worked like this.... kind of the point when some pokemon were locked into another version. (the oddish and bellsprout trades in OG red and blue)
Also say for example you evolve gibble into gabite on gabite Dex page it increases "the number evolved" entry as well as on gibble even though you evolved the gibble not the gabite
I didn't know Pichu were rare. Saw them often when going up to Floaro Gardens to grind on Beautifly and sometimes there were even 2 of them at the same time. It was also easy to catch them, I caught 7 (out of 11) without even being spotted.
How did you do it? My ultra balls just keep bouncing off the Pichu, no matter how close. Is it because I'm doing backstrikes? And it doesnt show an X when I press ZL... I tried normal poke balls too, and the same happened.
@@delighyt i just used wing balls when i caught the ones i found, maybe try not using the aim assist it may help, i never really had problens with catching them
I didn’t know either. I saw pichu in the wild multiple times and then just the other day I got a mass outbreak of pichu when I was tryna shiny hunt for eevee (I got two shiny eevee in one outbreak lol)
My first Pichu was Alpha. I found them flying from Heights camp and flying to the area that Oreburrow Tunnel’s title is over the map. It’s on the cliff area right before the area where Alpha Magicarp is at. The spawns there are usually Kricketot, Zubat (at night), rare Pikachu and even more rare Pichu. I found them on a grind to find shiny Magicarp Alpha (which is obviously rarer)
The distortion spawns are in 2 flavors. Every x number of seconds 2-3 mons cycle based on a pool that is unique to the area. The other is also unique to the area, but spawn in when you go near the spot within the distorted area. This second type does not despawn until the distortion fades. The 1st and second starter stages, Sneasal/Weavile, and Magnemite/Magneton are in this second pool and is fairly exploitable.
Quilfish move has 15 pp letting you use it 8 times without recovering pp, Stantler’s has 10. You can only use it 5 times and it can miss. I had to use it 26 times before evolving. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Also if you change moves the new move the slot will retain pp so you can give your Pokémon a new move in the 0 pp slot then immediately go back and replace a higher pp move with the move you want.
I found that after useing le skill 20+ it didn't want to evolve until after it leveled. idk why but that being said theres no level "requirement" just bump it6 up one . :p
Also if you caught an alpha pre-evo and evolve that Pokémon to its last stage, the Pokédex will say that you caught an alpha last stage Pokémon. By evolving my alpha Graveler into a Golem, I managed to "caught" an alpha Golem so that when I actually caught a true alpha Golem I had two instead! So you know, catch every alpha Pokémon you see even though is a Wurmple
Facts. The “Catch an Alpha” requirement really is easy because those Alpha Pokémon are Static spawns in the same spot in the overworld. I’ve got a guide to all of those in the playlist.
*NOTE: The best way to do this is if you alone or you and your close friend have both with the pokémon you have a full living pokédex! That way you can just look at every pokédex entry and touch trade the most rare pokémon (starters, sneasel, cranidos, shieldon, porygon, spiritomb, some legendaries or mythicals). Be aware like said in the video, be careful!*
I’m gonna try and fill out my perfect Dex as much as I can on my own at first, and then if it gets to it I’ll start doing the touch trade stuff, but this is still extremely helpful info.
I feel like this was intentional because most people can’t just trade back with themselves or even a friend so if you do have someone able to do that they want to encourage your ability to trade with friends to finish your dex. That’s a nice touch and I hope they save it and don’t remove it.
If that's true it also involves Nintendo online... So it also encourages people to pay for the online services and to make more money. If this is true.... Well played Nintendo well played. Especially considering how the game has sold so well and people are trying to 100% the game. Yeah could definitely be a intentional thing.
@Coffee drinking Gradevoir Unfortunately I wondered that as well. I don't think you can trade with just wifi and a code... but then again if you can use wifi to get lost items for people maybe if you have a local friend and wifi or a friend on the system who your friends with already? I'm unsure as I haven't tried or had anyone to attempt it with.
@@maddogmajimaswifey3868 without online? because I don’t have any friends on Nintendo so I don’t know if I can do that it keeps saying link a ninetendo account and I’m not sure if I need online or not and none of my friends who have Nintendo like Pokémon or have the games so yeah-
So legends is your 1st Pokemon game your playing again after so long? Good choice 😊. I'd also recommend Platinum, Omega Ruby or Alpha Saphire , X or Y, and Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon.
@@RedBolt7 I definitely don't recommend X/Y or US/UM if you're getting back into pokémon. I'd say you're good off if you're playing Platinum and/or Black and White, OR/AS is also not a bad pick.
As long as getting a perfect is not mandatory I was fine getting the 10 that I needed, plus there's no really reason for getting a perfect besides slightly increasing the chance to get shiny pokemon which is already easy enough
Oh my gosh, I remember like 6 or 7 years ago I was trying to beat Yo-Kai Watch on the 3DS and I was stuck. Your videos were the only way I got through that game.
One time in swsh I touch traded a guy my zacian for his zamazenta named “Zacian??” To complete the Pokédex Without thinking or considering that he might’ve just bought shield and didn’t want zamazenta, and I kinda started to worry I might not get it back, but luckily the guy traded it right back. After I offered his Pokémon back. If you’re somehow reading this, thanks.
I think this may be intended, since even your own mons suffer from the disobedience cap. Do traded mons get boosted exp still? Because if not, there's no difference mechanically.
@@eclipseshea5342 Totally agree with you! Double Edge and Wave Breaker with my lvl 51-ish Basculin with 190 hp actually took around 250-275 hp but yeah I just went grinding in the Obsidian Fiedlands
Try attacking weak Pokemon, it doesn't have to be done all in one battle and healing won't effect it, then just keep doing it till it says it can evolve
I was so shocked to see no one talking about this trick! I thought I was the only one who had discovered this and now you post a vid hours later 😆 I'm hoping it doesn't get patched
From experience I’d say your best bet of finding Cherubi and Cherrim are at Coronet Highlands, I got a Cherrim from one tree and an alpha Cherubi from another tree both in the same run. I’d also say Togepi and its evolutionary line are quite rare as well, I went through the game’s whole story without even seeing a Togepi in the wild.
there is a location in cobalt that always has a togepi. there is a location in mirelands that always has a togetic and in lake verity there is a guaranteed togekiss
Thats what I did....took me literally 12 hours of checking the tree's at coronet highlands and going back to camp to sleep and re set it. It's super annoying and I think it should be patched.
@@afibuffygirl i just waited for an outbreak. you need multiple cherubi for cherrim dex anyway, unless you wanna level cherrim up to the high 40's until it learns petal dance
I think it's intentional due the fact you can trade in order to fill your pokedex faster, I doubt they patch it otherwise how they make it so it only counts 1 time rather than trading same pokemon over and over. Though I feel trading back and forth the entire dex is just as tedious as just catching them lol.
I don't think that it's a bug to be honest. It's been a thing since the start of pokemon. It works in pokemon go and every pokemon game that I can think of. You can get medals and stuff in pokemon go for pokemon you've traded (count as caught). Same with sword and shield and almost all other pokemon games I can think of.
"You may not have time to sit there with them in your party to make them more friendly" LMAO I grinded to not only find three female Eevees but then to individually raise their friendship til I got Sylveon, Espeon, and Umbreon. It might have been a bit unnecessary, but I found it fun.
@@Sanjonero408sleepy I had them help me forage, I never sent them into battle. I'd have them break those ore rocks or smack trees to get berries. Those actions raise Friendship with the pokemon just like winning battles does. "Grinding" just means I sank in the time and effort to get the job done without taking a break.
Help with the endgame final boss frenzy gauge refill glitch? Arceus gauge keeps refilling despite me hitting continue with previous progress. I am on the latest update. Any help would be appreciated as its the last step.
Pretty handy but I personally just found it easier to sit around waiting for a distortion, kick back with a coffee and watch a movie with the switch nearby or something similar :P
Oof. Calculate just how many Pokémon are locked to Space-time distortions, how many are spawns in those three spots, how many you have to catch, and how long on average it takes to spawn a distortion. That’s “easier” than finding a buddy and trading a few Pokémon back and forth? 🧐
Speaking of Space-Time Distortions, my first time experiencing it was... hectic. I only started not too long ago, so I'm missing out a lo. Anyway, during which, the most notable Pokemon that I managed to get was a Sneasel, but the nature wasn't good at all. Still, it freaked me out that there were suddenly massive amounts of Pokemon popping out here and there! I only had two reliable Pokemon on my team at that time which were the Alpha Lopunny and Staravia (which, though shiny, had a -Def nature on him). The rest of them were there to leach of a bit of EXP as I try to complete their respective Dex entries. In the end I actually got overwhelmed to the point that I just started running around in circles while collecting items and all. Surprisingly I got two Sun Stones, so there's that. And an Electirizer.
I fine unless I've missed something you don't need to get a perfect Dex for every pokemon. Like for Ursaluna what's the point. You can't find it in the wild as far I know and you can give it only through evolution. So just getting the Dex to 10 is worth it right?
@@AsDerouxWoofWolf yes it does but if the Pokemon can't be spawned in the wild or in a rift is what I mean that it might not be worth it. Like I said ursaluna unless I'm missing it does not show up in a rift or in the wild and only from evolution that you can get it by evolving. So in this case I don't think you need to perfect Dex him but you want to do it for Stage 1 and 2
I actually had 5 peat blocks before finishing the story xD running a full eeveelutions team I was huting evolution stones so I was digging with ursaluna all the time,... just didn't find the right stones xD
@@AbdallahSmash I’ll rewatch the video and see if I’m truly missing anything from it. Otherwise just fill us in on what the message or point really is, because as far as I understood the video is letting us all know something we’ve been doing for a long time already.
I noticed this a few days ago when trading the other starters I didnt have to a new file. I hope it was intentional because some pokemon are hard to obtain through normal means & no breeding, so its a pain.
They have online trading but no online battling, I really hope a Pokemon battle revolution gets released, one with all pokemon from every generation til now, so if you want to battle take it there
I’ve been filling out the perfect Pokédex as I quest for Shinies, it fills out naturally by itself. Also hunting for Alpha Spiritombs, I have 3 Spiritombs now if anyone wants one 🤣🤷♀️🔮
That’s the point? Pokémon game you can’t blitz to completion in 1 day. It’s fun though. It’s nice to have a game play loop involving catching Pokémon while not being mandatory
Pichu is pretty easy to find and just playing through the story and even just completing other Pokédex entries I’ve amassed so many evolution items I don’t need to do anything.
I don’t understand why the Sinnoh/Hisui fossil Pokémon are in space/time distortions when they are supposed to be native and the game is technically in “ancient” times.
This isnt an exploit its just regular feature in pkmn games… therefore not really usable and doable when playing alone and have to do it with strangers all the time
In previous games, if you touch traded back a pokemon you owned, it would say "welcome back, XYZ" . Surprised this game code doesn't recognize your previously owned pokemon
How is this video almost 17 minutes lol? Trades count for the number caught in Pokédex, there done! Another thing I’ve been doing as a solo player is evolving Luxio or anything that evolves through level instead of catching their evos.
I'd be pretty surprised if the developers bothered patching this, since the process is not very fun, requires coordinating with another player, and only really benefits completionists plus Game Freaks has generally always encouraged anything that gets players to play the game together, so they might not even mind it
So, if I decide to do a second playthrough on my other Switch, I would just have to go long enough to unlock the trading post, right? I don't need to do a full playthrough?
So uh I got the peat block 1st time no trying it was a accident I then used a random kirila to put the alpha urea ring to sleep used false swipe for 1 hp I was not even out of the crimson Moreland before I got a alpha ursaluna
My research lvl 10 is almost complete. Just 2 are required: a 2nd pichu .....and a porygon which can be only found in space time distortion.unfortunately ,i evolved the porygon when I first got it without research lvl10😐 Edit-From watching this video I got to know that I'm missing a cleffa ,thnx 4 dat
@@101joebro ive noticed when that happens, i connect to internet then disconnect, save, close game completely and reopen, had one like 15 minutes later of grinding some.
So if I actually want those pokemon for keeps on my main game. I'll delete save data from my other switch, and send me the starter pokemon several times, and trade those later to people if I want. The second switch is a blank just to starter pokemon farm.
Figured this out day one but sadly my buddy got sick so I purchased a second copy and am just sitting here now before the bridge only missing a few entries aka beating mons with moves.
@@david7864 i wish you didn't need Spiritomb! 😡😤i've flat out given up on the wisps search and plan on trading with a local guy if/when he gets any spare spiritombs or simply letting him find the remaining wisps for me.

Pretty sure it's a feature, I've been using this with a friend here and there. I love that the game recognizes you are the ot and says it returned to you, but it gives a new dex entry each time you trade it.
Abdallah I’m so upset I went to join the discord and the bot said my page doesn’t match the one I tried to log in with and it’s been flagged? Idk a thing about mods or lead alone hacking! Still gonna watch you here just sad I can’t find anymore Pokémon discords! Hope to make it into the server someday!♥️
So the "busted" method here is... Find somebody with everything you need and touch trade with them? Yeah something tells me this isn't getting patched.
Well I’m just hoping my preorder will be delivered this time, even though it’s apparently being delivered by the a one star shipping company I’m pretty it’s not easy even for them to find the address of a house that has just recently constructed
evin tho this is a very nice trick. i just hate than it still could be slow. just wish we did not have to do this. annoyeing busy work. turns the game into 90 throwing balls an task checking. normal pokedex stuff was already annoyeing in older games. i know i can just not do it. but that bugs me knowing it not done. honestly hope thay update an change a lot of the busy work. an hope if thay do i don't have already did it by than i will be triggered

Exactly, people are stupid

So in this case I don't think you need to perfect Dex him but you want to do it for Stage 1 and 2
I actually had 5 peat blocks before finishing the story xD
running a full eeveelutions team I was huting evolution stones so I was digging with ursaluna all the time,... just didn't find the right stones xD
I'm laughing at rocket propelled pokeballs. Good use of the exhaust port.
New patch already released. Anyone can confirm if this is still working?
The easiest way to complete the Starters is only evolve them after you complete their dex entry
I heard trading. That's my queue to leave this video
Trading has never been an exploit… and yes you can register them as caught when traded. It’s always been this way.
You’re missing the big point.
@@AbdallahSmash I’ll rewatch the video and see if I’m truly missing anything from it. Otherwise just fill us in on what the message or point really is, because as far as I understood the video is letting us all know something we’ve been doing for a long time already.
@michelle That’s awesome.
I noticed this a few days ago when trading the other starters I didnt have to a new file. I hope it was intentional because some pokemon are hard to obtain through normal means & no breeding, so its a pain.
What do you get for getting all perfect entries
They have online trading but no online battling, I really hope a Pokemon battle revolution gets released, one with all pokemon from every generation til now, so if you want to battle take it there
You said thank you for those who subscribed to you recently. Your welcome man
Damn I just got back I watched you sense yokia lol the good old days
I’ve been filling out the perfect Pokédex as I quest for Shinies, it fills out naturally by itself.
Also hunting for Alpha Spiritombs, I have 3 Spiritombs now if anyone wants one 🤣🤷♀️🔮
May I have one? Lol
I'll take it for a shiny?
@@SpudBLT only shiny I have is Shellos :( help a brother out lol
@@SpudBLT sure what is your friend ID?
@@CoffeeBrainzz wanna send a trade code? I’m available now. Or do you have any other way to contact?
Wait, we need friends 💀☠️
Screw getting perfect research on every single Pokémon. The Pokédex is already grindy enough as it is.
I can feel you on that!
That’s the point? Pokémon game you can’t blitz to completion in 1 day. It’s fun though. It’s nice to have a game play loop involving catching Pokémon while not being mandatory
Pichu is pretty easy to find and just playing through the story and even just completing other Pokédex entries I’ve amassed so many evolution items I don’t need to do anything.
Yoooo where'd you get that shirt, it's clean!!!
Thanks for all your great advice i really appreciate it
Is this an exploit? It’s always registered a traded Pokémon as caught, I feel like this is just how it works if you can be bothered to do this.
I also think that's how it's supposed to work. I believe it's like this for the 'trade-mon', if you're not using link cables.
No, it’s not a glitch or an exploit. He made a 16 min video about a simple detail that’s been in games forever lmao
I dont think is intended to register again aftet getting it back tho
Notice how the Quilava he got in the trade wasn't registered as caught. So yes this is an exploit
I don’t understand why the Sinnoh/Hisui fossil Pokémon are in space/time distortions when they are supposed to be native and the game is technically in “ancient” times.
Great catch 👌 👏 👍
This isnt an exploit its just regular feature in pkmn games… therefore not really usable and doable when playing alone and have to do it with strangers all the time
it took me so long to find my first peat block and now i get them 24/7
In previous games, if you touch traded back a pokemon you owned, it would say "welcome back, XYZ" . Surprised this game code doesn't recognize your previously owned pokemon
I'd be happy to use this trick but I don't have Pokemon Legends Arceus yet.
How is this video almost 17 minutes lol?
Trades count for the number caught in Pokédex, there done! Another thing I’ve been doing as a solo player is evolving Luxio or anything that evolves through level instead of catching their evos.
Thank you VERY much for the help!!! 😁
im trying to get perfect dex for chancy the only thing i need is ctch wilest sleeping any tips for that?
I'd be pretty surprised if the developers bothered patching this, since the process is not very fun, requires coordinating with another player, and only really benefits completionists
plus Game Freaks has generally always encouraged anything that gets players to play the game together, so they might not even mind it
So in order to go into the discord I have to verify myself by signing back into discord and verifying that I'm not a bot twice?
So, if I decide to do a second playthrough on my other Switch, I would just have to go long enough to unlock the trading post, right? I don't need to do a full playthrough?
So uh I got the peat block 1st time no trying it was a accident I then used a random kirila to put the alpha urea ring to sleep used false swipe for 1 hp I was not even out of the crimson Moreland before I got a alpha ursaluna
PLEASE COULD SOMEONE TELL WERE HE GOT TJIS TSHIRT AT?!?!?! I have been looking EVERYWHERE for it!!!!!
im p sure thats merch
Good luck to getting to 1mil
Thanks! Glad to see you be a part of it!
Abdallah on your yokai watch lps it looks like your using the actual console for videos how do you do that
Its not a bug. When you trade a pokemon, the ot changes and everything. Its no longer a traded pokemin but registered as your own
My research lvl 10 is almost complete.
Just 2 are required: a 2nd pichu .....and a porygon which can be only found in space time distortion.unfortunately ,i evolved the porygon when I first got it without research lvl10😐
Edit-From watching this video I got to know that I'm missing a cleffa ,thnx 4 dat
Trade you one for a cranidos (my space times are bugged and haven't showed up in 6 days)
@@101joebro ive noticed when that happens, i connect to internet then disconnect, save, close game completely and reopen, had one like 15 minutes later of grinding some.
@@quiktoes7201 definitely gonna try this.
Note: You can get the other starters if you talk to professor laventon sometime after beating the game
Yes but you still need 5 total to complete the perfect pokedex
Note: if you listen and watch the video, you’ll know this.
@@AbdallahSmash 🤣🤣🤣
@@AbdallahSmash Note: I wrote that before the vid and then watched it
@@AbdallahSmash also note: ur my fav utuber
So if I actually want those pokemon for keeps on my main game. I'll delete save data from my other switch, and send me the starter pokemon several times, and trade those later to people if I want. The second switch is a blank just to starter pokemon farm.
My baby and I watching this with twins and two copies of arceus 👁👄👁
Figured this out day one but sadly my buddy got sick so I purchased a second copy and am just sitting here now before the bridge only missing a few entries aka beating mons with moves.
For the shiny charm, do I need level 10 or perfect research level for every pokemon's entry
Just Level 10. And you don’t need every Pokémon. I got the Shiny Charm without Darkrai
@@david7864 i wish you didn't need Spiritomb! 😡😤i've flat out given up on the wisps search and plan on trading with a local guy if/when he gets any spare spiritombs or simply letting him find the remaining wisps for me.
@@lizgawin899 just fricking watch Austin John's wisps videos, they're super ez to get from there and later if you want you can hunt for the 0.87% spiritomb [can be shiny and alpha]
The only friend who likes Pokémon lives in Texas (he moved like a year ago). And he is planning on sellin his Nintendo switch because he doesn’t use it.
Pretty sure it's a feature, I've been using this with a friend here and there. I love that the game recognizes you are the ot and says it returned to you, but it gives a new dex entry each time you trade it.
Soo about the distortions having starter i picked rowlet and found rowlet in a distortion so i think you gotta spend a long time in one
Munchlax and pichu are super common and right next to a rest point
I honestly hate how they locked arceus behind completing the dex
Like catching all pokemon or completing the dex COMPLETELY?
Does this work after the recent patch? cuz i need to do this for my cyndaquil dex
I got a shiny cyndiquil in a distortion
Abdallah I’m so upset I went to join the discord and the bot said my page doesn’t match the one I tried to log in with and it’s been flagged? Idk a thing about mods or lead alone hacking! Still gonna watch you here just sad I can’t find anymore Pokémon discords! Hope to make it into the server someday!♥️
Wait can this actually work with unknown so they can appear in solaceon ruins or no?
ive tried catching distortion pokemon but they just attack me
So the "busted" method here is... Find somebody with everything you need and touch trade with them?
Yeah something tells me this isn't getting patched.
You realize you’re on the internet right?
@@billybobbobson3797 i don't know where i am.
will these still work??? im not sure if this was before the update or not
Well I’m just hoping my preorder will be delivered this time, even though it’s apparently being delivered by the a one star shipping company I’m pretty it’s not easy even for them to find the address of a house that has just recently constructed
Okay but what about the other tasks in the pokedex? You caught the pokemon 5 times but aren't the other tasks also important for credit?
evin tho this is a very nice trick. i just hate than it still could be slow. just wish we did not have to do this. annoyeing busy work. turns the game into 90 throwing balls an task checking. normal pokedex stuff was already annoyeing in older games. i know i can just not do it. but that bugs me knowing it not done. honestly hope thay update an change a lot of the busy work. an hope if thay do i don't have already did it by than i will be triggered
I mean I'm not bothering with trading, but scizor is easy. I had multiple spawns in a time space rift in the ice lands during the story.
In previous games, if a Pokemon was traded to you, it was registered caught
Wait you have to complete the entire page to complete the pokemon? I thought it was just get to level 10?
It's intentional because all games have ''Caught and Seen'' in dex. Trading always counted for caught data.
So I found out thanks to Austin John plays and iv tested it my self as long as you stand still at camps it's 5 10 15 20 25 and 100 precent at 40 mins for space
I don't think that this is going to be patched, it's still considered catching a Pokemon because it's a Pokemon you've obtained
nice method! except for one thing... I don't have any friends lol
you too abdallah
Abdallah is so close to 1 mil oh my god
How do you have 13 pages for pokemkn my game only has 8 pages to store pokemon
You need to catch more mons
Step 1: Get a friend
