Any shinys yet??

I had gotten the two pack for me and my ex. I was cancel it but figured I could regift the other one to a nephew. And f***ing Amazon delayed my package now I have to find Diamond in store hopefully

Diglett timer eclisped & new room generated. But still getting the Diglett bonus per pokemon after 15mins. Is this a bug?

i didn’t realize dawn was gonna give me so many poke balls so i bought some extras

now i got 30 before even catching 1

There’s some guy blocking a door in victory road? How do I get past him?

He says “let me size you up…” and then “you’re going to become even tougher”

Wow they're a f***ing duplications glitch already and unlimited Spiritombs

i got a machop with low kick and swept him easy.

Some things in this vid are exclusive to Gen 7 but the core mechanics are explained well. I only did a quick search but this should be a good start.

A few things not mentioned in the video

Power Items: 6 items (one for each stat) you can equip to your pokemon that will give you 8 extra EV points for that stat per knockout. They're named after workout accessories and can be obtained in the postgame, usually in whatever Battle Facility is in the region.

Mints: As of Sword and Shield you can change the stat boost that your pokemon would have from their nature. A modest pokemon with boosted Special Attack and reduced Attack can now have the boost of an Adamant pokemon (+Attack/-Special Attack) with a mint. Theres a mint for each nature. Also found in the postgame Battle Facility.

Pokerus: A random "disease" that your Pokemon can contract that will double the evs gained in battle. Once you get it, spread it as much as you can. The boost never wears off but after 24 hours in your party a Pokemon can't spread it anymore. Have a pokemon with it always in the box so you can spread it when and however you want. (Most people just get this through trading online whenever a new game drops)

Exp Share: Any pokemon that recieves exp from a knockout, will recieve EV points. Including the whole party when the exp share is on (which is all the time now i guess.) Power Item EV boosts aren’t shared though. For example You’ll need 6 indiviudal Power Anklets if you want to evenly EV train a team of Speed focused Pokemon at the same time. You can just use one and swap it around but it takes more time. Pokerus boosts cant be shared either.

But to double down on what Default said its definitely better to get used to this hands on and there are probably better guides out there. It's not as intimidating as it seems and will be come second nature to you quickly.

After you're comfortable with the core mechanics, look into teambuilding and different possibilities for Pokemon you want to use.

BDSP probably has one of the better postgames for practicing competitive. Experiment in the Battle Tower, you’ll need to anyway for competitive items. Also there are gym leader and E4 rematches that use competitive sets and stats.

Candice had a super effective one hit ko move for my whole team

She got ur ass up outta there

just got mespirit slippery ass on my 10th encounter crowbat with mean look and an ultraball did the trick

Straight up letting you buy Psychic, Thunderbolt, Flamerthrower, and Ice Beam for the low.

Lots of small improvements like allowing you to access PC from wherever, showing your pokemons stats when teaching a new move, and showing you Pokémon compatible with a TM before you use it.

Think I’ve decided on my team I’m taking to the hall of fame.

Need to figure out how imma get this razor fang before the E4

elite four is no joke, god damn

just got my whole team wiped by a f***ing heracross lmao

I missed feeling like they’re a threat. I’m excited.

spiritomb on some bullshit

Cynthia’s whole team gets to go first no matter what, even if I’m wearing a quick claw lol

Wow
I was really in a 1/2048 digglet shiny bug for nearly 2 hours and didn't catch anything.

Hurts

Well over 20 ultra balls to catch a Steelix in Victory Road?

The f***

Also f*** Victory Road. Always the most tideous sections

My Budew eating 10 calcium’s in a row to try and get to max happiness

You bad

i wonder how they’re gonna handle BW2 with the inevitable Unova remakes

it doesn’t feel right to just ignore it cause it’s more than just a 3rd version it’s basically a whole new original experience

and it doesn’t feel right to try and mash it up with the OG

BW2 doesnt exist

imagine the pokemon company making a move in the interest of the consumer
