Beginner Tips (Please Help)
Hey,
Sorry if this is a very amateur / basic post.... and not sure if this is the right area to post. However, I am slowly becoming addicted to Pokemon Sword and Shield. Huge Pokemon fan, however my experience is very outdated. I havent played main series since Gen4 and i feel a lot has changed in that time. I just need a few starter tips on being efficient and wanting to go Competitive online Wi-Fi eventually. Few quick questions: Items: Which items are important to keep and which are purely profit items (to sell)? IV's: How important is it to have 6 max IV's competitively? do 4/5 Best IV's do? Anyway of telling IV's before reaching battle tower and gaining IV Checker? - Just loving some of my Team at the moment and investing a lot of time into them and dont want the time to be wasted if theyll be useless when it comes to competitive Breeding: Is the 'Masuda' method (?) using a different regional pokemon only to raise shiny chances or do they help with IV's? Is it best to start breeding end game after obtaining IV Checker? EV's / IVs Short explanation on how these work and which Mons' to invest time/rescources into and how? General Help Any other tips for competitive preparation? Tips on important Items that can make a pokemon more viable (or any pokemon that desperately need a specific item/which items work best on which pokemon) Any help appreciated apologies if this is all basic stuff :( |
I can't answer all of your questions, as I haven't battled competitively for a couple of years now and we're just shy of a week into a fresh meta anyway, but I'll answer the ones I can:
