      @Austin John Plays unrelated to the video, but do you know if you KO your box legendary in the initial story encounter on Spear Pillar, go beat the E4, then come back in the post game when Dawn tells you it's respawned, is the legendary still able to be shiny hunted, or is it just a clone of the one you KO'd?

    I love that you dont have to actually catch every single pokemon to complete the pokedex, it makes everything so much easier. I literally went through the entire story without worrying about catching any pokemon for my dex and just focused on training my team, and by the time I beat Cynthia I only needed 4 pokemon to complete my sinnoh dex. As of now I only need one, its a burmy, and im watching this video to kill some time while I wait for honey trees.

    A good tip for people that are breeding!
    When collecting your eggs from the nursery man, if you talk to him so he turns to look at you, you then will be able to know when the egg is ready as he will turn and face his original position. Like the breeder in SwSh when she changes animation to indicate the egg is ready to be collected but this one is less obvious :)

    That time trick with Drifloon has helped me immensely, I heard somewhere on UA-cam that I had to actually wait because if I time skipped the game would give me a 24 hour penalty of in game events and it wouldn’t even work for drifloon but.. alas, it did!

    Whoever coded, then whoever approved, the Pokédex default sprite “angles” should be fired.
    You catch the Pokémon, or it evolves, it’s perfectly aligned. Then the Pokédex opens and it’s angled at a 35* degree angle to the top left corner.

    You can actually get riolu in your seen Pokédex as early as you obtain surf. Go to the bottom chamber of the cave west of the rock gym’s alloted City, surf to the far left, and the veteran trainer you find there leads the battle off with riolu.

    Enough people left comments asking "Where's Prinplup?" There's a Trainer at Route 212 near the Trophy Garden (Pokémon Ranger Jeffrey). Battle him, and you're good to go. Speaking of the Trophy Garden, you'll want to go there if you're looking for Pichu (I had to look it up because I never bothered going there). There are trainers you can battle that have Pichu on their teams, but catching one is better than trying to find a trainer who has one.
