I've beating Classic mode once or twice, I have some good pokemon but i'm tired of running Zazian, Keldeo, Excadrill, Gyarados etc. every run. Any recomendations on easily available mons that are worth investing in?

Yesterday I hatched a shiny tier 3 Cleffa but what is the purpose of a prankster passive

Just started about a week ago, and want to beat the game without any save scamming at least for my first run. I was wondering, what weight does the luck added from a shiny counter having actually decent pokemon on your team?

So far my strategy has been Grim Neigh Keldeo and my singular carry, and using my max tier shinies such as Water bubble skrelp and pickup snorlax, and now that ive gotten costs down a tier 2 zigzagoon. The luck has been great, but ive found a problem as oftentimes if Keldeo goes down/has a bad matchup, the rest of my team struggles to do ANYTHING. I always try and get a pawmot for revival blessing but when it's a bad matchup I lose anyway, I got to wave 190 and wiped to Steven's mega metagross, I forgot I had tera steel so it was partly my fault, but in using my shinies for luck I haven't been able to create an actually strong team around my Keldeo which is causing me to really struggle against some of the later game demons.

At what point is using a stronger starter like Nacli for Garganacl, or just having less shinies on the team overwrite the value of luck? (Im not saying my shinies dont do anything, pickup on munchlax is so useful dont get me wrong, but when it comes to battles they are complete nonfactors.)

Thanks for any help!

Looking for a challenge haven’t played in a while but have goten a lot better at pokemon so looking for a challenge.

So this is my new pitch for a mystery event; Zinnia!

Conditions to meet Zinnia:

1. Must be during waves 130-180

2. Must be in mountain biome

3. You cannot have a gym leader at the end of the biome

4. It can only happen on waves that end with -9 ( e.g. 139, 169 )

It's a really rare event, and the title speaks for itself; you can choose whether to fight Zinnia or not.

Her team is made up of all dragons, in which some are random. The locked ones are:

1. Boss Latios/Latias

2. Boss Nagandel/Guzzlord

3. Boss Mega Salamence ( With three health bars )

If you win, you get a full team heal and a guaranteed Rayquaza encounter in which you can catch it. ( Yes, I know Rayquaza can only be found at the end of Space )

If you refuse to fight, she'll give you some ultra tier items in the rewards, and a free Psuedo-legend whose level matches the one with your lowest levelled Pokemon.

Is this good?
