The most I can combo is 41 spent all my money on ultra balls then used all of them saved 8 for the shiny encounter, went for the shiny bulbasaur after beating brock. Can I just encounter the bulbasaur then flee to reset the spawn quick or will that mess the odds up? This is going to take forever with only 1 bulbasaur spawning at a time lol

I’ve been hunting for a shiny bulbasaur for hours to do a badge quest on my let’s go eevee replay and I have gone through almost 500 encounters with a full combo broken the combo on a pidgey since I zoned out and I did the math. In the 484 encounters I’ve had at a 31+ combo there is a 75.833% chance for a shiny to appear. I got a full odds Caterpie before I even got my combo started and I think it took all my luck. I also refuse to move on even though that caterpie technically counts for the badge quest because I want to use a shiny bulbasaur on my team

Caught 61 one of em and still no shiny three hours in. Wasn't able to get lures, still at the start of the game.

And was met with incredible disappointment. I have a standard Switch, but I don't have Joy-Cons nor the Poke Ball accessory as I bought the game second hand.

My controller is a 3rd party JC200, and it works perfectly well with other games, but it won't connect at all with Let's Go Eevee, even to the point where I can't hit the Home button to back out of it, I have to restart the entire console. I don't want to dish out $90 for Joy-Cons that'll start drifting in 3 months, but at the same time, my kids and I were looking forward to playing this one for the first time.

Are there any workarounds that anyone has figured out? I can't make the Switch think this controller is a Joy-Con and tbh I can't understand why it would even need one - my sister and her kid have the Switch Lite and Let's Go Pikachu and it plays the game just fine. Why can't it work with a regular controller on the regular Switch? I can maybe understand it needing to be played thay way docked, but handheld shouldn't make a difference.

If anyone has any advice, please let me know, otherwise it's gonna be taking it back and getting a different one altogether, and it sucks disappointing my kid like that.

My current team is currently made of:

1. Lvl 33 Growlithe (Jolly)
2. Lvl 35 Alakazam (Timid)
3. Lvl 36 Gloom (Modest)
4. Lvl 37 Pikachu (Jolly)
5. Lvl 37 Golem (Adamant)
6. Lvl 33 Gengar (Timid)

I’m thinking on removing Pikachu and Gloom, since I think I need someone better on defense. I thought on more physical and special defense, since right now, each of my team members are like paper. Snorlax with Careful or Nidoqueen with Impish seem like good options, and the sixth member could be a Lapras. Any suggests?

Ive been looking for shiny psyduck as my first shiny. Im very new to the game and did some research on shiny hunting. Ive been catching psyducks for the past few days and ive caught about 580 of them. Howerever ive had no luck, even tho ive been using the catch combo (with catching the psyduck that spauns every encounter) and a lure for most of my journey. So im wondering since im new, is there anything im doing wrong or have missed. Or do i just have bad luck.

Thanku for a response 🐥
