y u do dis 2 me Pachirisu :(
Okay, I'm in the friend safari shiny hunting, but also using six lvl 100 Pachirisu with the pickup ability hoping for a leftovers, but instead, I've gotten 5 or 6 prism scales (leftovers and prism scales being in the 1% pickup category.) Lo and behold, no leftovers have been found, and was wondering what kind of luck anyone else has had using the pickup method!
|
When I'm out shiny hunting, I actually do the same thing - except with a team of two lvl 100 meowths (payday ftw) and four Linoones with pickup. 8D (I adore the pickup ability). Honestly, I've never gotten many leftovers. Get a ton of prism scales, rare candies and the two evolutionary stones commonly found (Sun stone and moon stones I think?) I sell everything they find for extra cash to use with breeding projects.
I always thought I was the only one who used a full team with the pickup ability to snap up goodies to sell, or potions to use (I don't think I've ever bought any potions in game thanks to my team of Linoones!). Glad to know I'm not the only person who does this! |
So I never thought of this. :) Good idea! I beat the game a while back so haven't been able to make money from battling trainers and I'm running a little low. ): I might try this. I love Pachirisu anyway. C:

Wow thanks for the advice Howmander. :) I never would have found that otherwise! I better go and catch a Smeargle, I thought they were useless lol. I'm raising some Linoones now, but they're not being good to me. I've just had one pick up a great ball. I hope I get some better loot!

Or just forget the Pay Day strategy and defeat anything that moves in the Chateau. That's a load of money right there, and others appear later on or while you're wandering. Gym Leaders even reappear. Fun times. |

I'm glad you're aware of it now Tyheamma! I wanted to report back to say I have finally found my first leftovers! More prism scales, but it's totally worth it when you take the item from your pokemon and see it was actually leftovers! And Howmander, that's very interesting haha I didn't even begin to think about the multiplying method for additional gold income.

I get candies and Sun Stones frequently. Not many Prism Scale.
Maybe because I keep a Prism-on-a-Pickup... the RNG gods end up favoring me. Doubtful, but would be nice. |
Sun Stones are found via Pickup?
Now I have something to do. That's something I could use a few of for evolution purposes. Now to find Moon Stones, Thunderstones, Dusk Stones, Dawn Stones, etc... |

Here's a job for ya Donny!
Spoiler:
My wonderful Linoone, raised as a core member of my X playthrough. I don't believe in having "Pick-up" slaves so this wonderful guy was just a gift from Arceus. As early as level 21, he was giving me gifts of King's Rock and the occasional Sun Stone. He's now level 100, and while he's not exactly suitable for competitive battling (Modest nature rofl), I still take him out on journeys and use him to aid in training other weaker Pokemon. These days he usually picks me up powerful healing items and the occasional evolution stone, and I'll always take the opportunity to play with him in Pokemon Amie. Donny will always be my friend, and I shall do everything I can to preserve him for future generations. |

I have two lv 91+ Pachirisus with Pickup.
I can tell you I've got 3 leftovers already from them. The probability is 1% IIRC, and I did not have the ~300 battles on average that it would take to get them, I had close to 100 or less. So yeah, in leftovers I've been pretty lucky. While you don't get leftovers, it's always good to get dozens of moon stones, sun stones, PP Ups and Rare Candies :) I plan to eventually get a pickup Teddiursa, because with Sweet Scent it will be great when I am fighting hordes for EV training, instead of wasting a teamslot for Ivysaur - I get 3 pickupers working :) |
I can confirm I've gotten my Diggersby (I chose two Bunnelby received via trades for the XP boost) closing in on the 60s and they have each acquired Sun and Moon Stones by now. I did get one Moon Stone in an ultra rare level (I think a 1% area), but Sun Stones started appearing a little later. I believe I have four of each now including the ones I already had.
My next target will be the Shiny, Dusk, and Dawn Stones. However, I see I will have to do Super Training. Do you get the reward multiple times, or is that once only? I guess I have to pay Psychic Inver a visit, too, and hope for it at random. |
