I just started Sheild and am exploring the wild area before motostoke which I assume is where the first gym is. My question is how much time should I spend on this area or is that just at my discretion? The area seems to have endless raids which is giving me a ton of candies but Im getting the feeling this is just an area I can visit again any time, or is there some other objective? The unlimited candies have been nice, I will say!

Similar to how Kitakami was implemented. What kind of Pokémon could you discover throughout the area?

For this, IGNORE THE LIMITATIONS set in Sw/sh. Here, anything goes, as long as you have a strong case for it - like Mismagius & Staraptor.

Apologies for the fair, out of the options presented to me I thought image was the closest to appropriate.

Galarian Corsola: The Coral Pokémon

This miniature LEGO Pokémon MOC is made with the unusual trans-satin white color, which gives it its almost see-through, ghostly look! The other color is the equally unusual trans-satin brown color, which looks more like gray, which works for shiny Galarian Corsola and the regular Galarian Corsola's underside.

So i never ran into this before but everytime i try catch the galar slowpoke at the station the game crashes and i have played through this game tons on my og switch its first time playing it on my switch 2 and i had this crash happen every time so i cant proceed to the dlc anyone know a fix?

I love Mareanie and Toxapex; I transferred a Toxapex over to my Pokemon Shield save just so I can get the egg and have Mareanie as my unofficial starter Pokemon. I wanna know if anyone else loves this evolution line too.

Hi all! My wife and I picked up Sword and Shield and we've been having a blast so far! One problem, when we reached the Wild Area, my wife's game has consistently been crashing while trying to catch Pokémon (even just doing encounters). We've even briefly stepped onto the Isle of Armor to similar effect.

I haven't been having any problems myself, I'm playing on my 2017 Switch 1. The main different thing we can really tell is that my wife is playing on the Switch 2 on the TV. Are there known issues with that, and are there ways to fix this? Thanks!

Foe beldum/metang/metagross evoline,

Do you have to catch 500 of exactly the same species to get increased shiny chance? Or is it okay to KO them?

Would it have to be specific to each species or shared on the evoline? (E.g if catchinf beldum would increase the chance of metagross and vice versa)

So I was right at the start of the championship, and I used the Isle of Armor DLC to give my starter the ability to Gigantamax, then I leveled them up to level 100 before realizing that I went overkill because I was under the assumption that I needed to have a party of the strongest pokemon I had and all of them at level 100 before fighting Leon... turns out I was wrong, and I kind swept the entire championship. I looked it up, yeah this is overkill for the main game, but it seems I should be 1/6 of the way prepared for the rest of the DLCs right?
