Shedinja in Hub

Is it possible to get Shedinja in the hub? Supposedly the day care man can hatch an egg even if I’ve only seen that pokemon, but it will won’t allow me to ask him to get a Shedinja egg. Evolving ninjask in the hub hasn’t worked.

Question about enemy trainer IV's and EV's

I'm running into situations, particularly regarding the Elite Four, where I swear that my Pokemon are numerically disadvantaged somehow. Enemy Pokemon keep surviving things they shouldn't, and my Pokemon keep going down to things they should be tanking no problem.

From what I understand, and from what I've heard before, enemy trainer Pokemon in this game have no EV's or IV's. My difficulty is set on Standard, with the exception of EV gains being disabled for my Pokemon, because I prefer both sides to be on even ground.

But just in my current battle, my Iron Hands (Adamant, Quark Drive +Atk) hit Melony's Articuno with a Thunderpunch, and it did just under a quarter of it's HP. I'd been raising my eyebrows at some of the hits beforehand in this battle, but that Thunderpunch not instantly sending Articuno to the shadow realm really surprised me. I went ahead and whipped out a damage calculator, and it looks like a single boosted Thunderpunch from my Pokemon, even at 1 Atk IV, should be doing 150%~ of its HP.

What gives? Do EV/IV's get re-enabled for the Elite Four? Are they present in all the trainers? Should I have my EV's enabled? I kind of figured that EV's being enabled would give me an unfair advantage but I don't wanna be without them if the enemy is getting (obviously perfectly optimized) EV's themselves.

Edit: It happened a second time. Iron Hands Close Combat vs a Rotom-Freeze, and it lived with 15% HP. And yes, I'm calculating with Snow. Absolutely unreal. There's no way enemy trainers don't have min/maxed EV's and IV's.

Good starter for first run?

Title. Grinding doubles and struggling on a starter to work towards.

Some people think I should go for sweepers like scizor, some people think I should not go for a sweeper because they can be less consistent and go for something like aegislash instead.

Thoughts?

Question about making your party "better"

Hi everyone. I've finally decided to try out Emerald Rogue. I have a few questions though:

  1. Say I got a Snivy with Overgrow and poor IVs. How would I go about permanently getting a Snivy with Contrary and good/perfect IVs? Would I go about this by catching other Snivys over and over again until I got one that I want? Or would I focus on improving the Snivy that I already have?

  2. My first Pokémon I got is a Rockruff with Keen Eye. For Lycanroc Dusk you would normally have to have a special one with the Own Tempo ability, but how is this handled in Emerald Rogue?

  3. Are Emerald Rogue Pokémon generally the same as their vanilla counterpart? Or do some Pokémon have access to moves and abilities that they can't have in the main games?

Softlock through Drizzle?

https://preview.redd.it/cnl5eagnzrdh1.jpg?width=2560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=081ec851ec2d374a090126de5e55ae9105f066a6

Hi everyone. I have a small problem in Emerald Rogue. I'm currently in one of the sim battles with a Dondozo in my party. The opponent has a Drizzle Politoed and a Golisopod. Everything went fine at first. But then he switched to Golisopod, I sent it out again through emergency exit, Politoed enters the field again, and no matter what action I choose after that locks the game. The Drizzle animation continues though, so it isn't frozen. Through save states I tried some other moves, but whenever Politoed comes back in, the game softlocks.

Does anyone know what causes this, or what I can do now? I'm using the mGBA emulator, which from what I've read works well with Emerald Rogue.

Wanting to get into the game, how much content is there?

I see a lot of people having hundreds of hours in this rom hack and am just wondering how? It sounds impressive that there's so much stuff in this but I can't really find a lot of resources on this game while it picks up a lot more of a community now that smallant is picking it up.

Is there a lot of unlocks like Binding of Isaac or does everything get thrown at you? I see that there is a lot to configure difficulty wise which is nice and I'm keeping tabs on the retroachivevements page and whenever that will be updated.

New save file for retro achievements

I’ve recently started a new save file to try and knock out as many retro achievements as I can. First Mon I encountered was a shiny hopefully this sets the tone for the upcoming grind. Has anyone 100% completed or knocked out a large majority of retro achievements and have a bit of advice?

Question about Ivs

So, what exactly determines if a Pokemon keeps the IVs obtained from simulation battles in adventures? I have pokemon that earned these IVs, but some kept them even after returning home and some didn't. I know I can permanently earn the from pies while home, but I really want to know what's up with the simulation battle IVs because I've definitely kept some of them

How to buy Swords Dance TM in the hub?

Hi all,

Are all TMs meant to be available through the hub's TM shop? I have bought Nasty Plot and weather moves, but can't find Swords Dance.

I have completed all of the main quests and have bought all the town upgrades available.

I see that the quests 'Chaos Novice' and 'Iron Mono' have that black-book symbol in their rewards, so do I have to complete one of those to unlock more TM shop upgrades?
