I've never played the Pokémon TCG before (big fan of the mainline video games though), and on a whim I decided to buy some Pokémon cards while visiting Sendai's Pokémon Center for their seasonal merch. I got a really flashy Mega Darkrai EX card from one of my 5 packs and I'm curious as to how I can build a deck around it and learn to play?
I got very lucky with my shiny Hisuian Zorua breeding and hatched one below shiny charm/Masuda odds, going for Spiritomb next.
Besides regional forms (mostly Hisuian, I'm guessing?) are there any other Pokémon like Spiritomb where you're better off trying to breed a shiny?
Hello all, hope you're all doing swell!
Currently trapped at work so I don't have access to my Switch, but hoping to do a trade on Home for a Turtwig in a Friend Ball or Heavy Ball.
For trade, I have some Moon Ball Zorua (male or female, your choice), Heavy Ball Magnemite, and Love Ball Alolan Vulpix. These were all bred this week in my copy of Pokemon Scarlet, and most have 5 IVs, all Timid Nature.
Hoping to use Torterra in my Teal Mask playthrough, so fingers crossed. Thank you all!
Status: CLOSED - Need to sleep now, getting close to midnight here in Japan. Thanks to everyone who stopped by! Will probably do another giveaway this weekend focused on Champions mons and leftover Zorua and other goodies.
Hello, hope you're all doing well! Doing a midweek giveaway so I can clear up my boxes; I have 150 Hisuian Zorua in Moon Balls looking for new homes (around 18 of which are female).
I also have 18 Alolan Vulpix in Love Balls and 18 Magnemite in Heavy Balls that are free to any who want them.
Anyone can ask for one of each (until I run out), and feel free to take multiple Zorua if you'd like (only giving away one female H-Zorua per account however).
I'll be around for the next 3 hours or so, so feel free to comment below if you'd like some Aprimon babies looking for new homes and adventures.
I'd also love for some of these guys to go to people planning to actively use them in playthroughs or battling, so please feel free to send me screenshots or clips of them in Sc/Vi, PLA, or Champions!

I prefer to trade in Scarlet/Violet, but if someone walks me through how to trade people directly on Home (is through the GTS??), I can give that a shot too.

I have a few hours free before bed and happy to help anyone who'd like a support build Quagsire for the raid, moveset is:
Acid Spray
Mud-Slap
Haze
Recover
Just send an invite code if y'all need help.
Hello again all, hope you're doing well!
I'm looking for:
Recover (Egg Move) Paldean Wooper (Water Absorb preferred)
Acid Armor (Egg Move) Shellos (Storm Drain preferred)
Recover (Egg Move) Kanto/Regular Wooper (Water Absorb preferred)
Having them in Apriballs would be awesome, but not strictly necessary. Trying to get a few raid mons prepped for me and my friend so we can tackle our favorite Kalos starter raid in Unrivaled Greninja.
For trade, please see my spreadsheet for Aprimons. All mons bred in SV unless noted otherwise.

All mons bred and hatched in my version of Scarlet on Switch 2. Thanks much for looking and have a nice day/evening!
EDIT: Much thanks to Miserable-purple // yuzu for the A-Vulpix and H-Zorua! Looking for the Dream Ball Spiritomb now.
EDIT 2: Thank you to TazzD for the Dream Ball Spiritomb! Thread is done now, thanks all for the trades!
I found this post from a few months ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/dbrand/comments/1pib3vx/i_really_wish_they_sell_dbrand_products_in_japan/
Which has dbrand customer support saying they ship to Japan now, but when I go to their current site shipping FAQ for Japan, I get: https://dbrand.com/shipping/japan/no-shipping
Which stinks, since I was really hoping to get some joycon grips for my Switch 2. Any plans to restart shipping soon?
Status: CLOSED - 23 Piplups, 29 Sprigatitos left!
Closed for now. Is the weekend better for people? Let me know!
Good morning/day/evening to you lovely folks out there! I'm wrapping up my birthday (and a largely fruitless search for the Destiny Mark) with a giveaway.
I recently got a copy of Scarlet w/DLC and I figured it was a good time to revisit Paldea. I used to do a lot of Pokémon breeding and giveaways in the pre-Switch era, and I want to kick it off again with this one!
Pokemon Details:
Freshly hatched, both have their respective hidden abilities, at level 1.
Both the Piplup and the Sprigatito were bred using my trusty 6 IV Japanese Ditto I've kept with me through the years. I don't have the Destiny Knot in Scarlet yet since it's a fresh playthrough, so I can't guarantee a perfect IV spread, but most of them seem like they turned out pretty decently from a glance.
The original Piplup and Sprigatito are the HA gifts from Pokemon Home, transferred to a new playthrough of Scarlet, started yesterday.
All of the Piplups should have a Timid nature, while the Sprigatitos have a Jolly Nature.
Rules:
Feel free to trade me anything in return; fodder, nicknamed mons, breedjects, unwanted HAs, etc. The more the merrier!
It'd make me happiest if people use these fellas in a playthrough or grow them for battling, instead of leaving them to gather dust in a box til the end of time.
If you've been playing since Gen IV, when Piplup was first introduced along with Turtwig and Chimchar, please share your favorite memory of Diamond/Pearl/Platinum! (Remake players also welcome to share!)
Giveaway Details:
Link Code: 8423 6092
IGN: Vidar
Quantity: 30 HA Competitive Piplup & 30 HA Protean Sprigatito
Time/Date: Now until they're all gone!
Piplup is my favorite Gen IV starter, and one of my favorites of all time, so I'll be starting the giveaway with them! Sprigatito will follow afterwards once all the Piplup have found their new trainers! If you end up connecting and receiving one of my Pokémon, it would be amazing if you could leave a comment letting me know!
If you would prefer one or the other, please leave a comment below with your in-game name and other details that'll help me ID you in-game, and I'll try my best to get you the one you want (as long as supplies last).
I'd like to get back into breeding and giveaways, especially with Winds/Waves coming up, so keep posted for more. That's all, happy trading!
Curious to hear if they've gotten any better; I got super turned off by the terrible translation on FM2 remake and the liberal use of gen AI/poor use of AI upscaling on FM3 remake, in addition to just poor QA.
Are things any better now? Or am I better off just digging for emulated versions of the originals instead?
