Got the final badge, fought my way through Victory Road, made it to the Pokemon League, and also beat my rival who was waiting for me there. I also used the duplication glitch to dupe a bunch of Master Balls and went out to catch the Lake Trio for their Pokedex entries, but I don't plan on using them so I didn't bother soft-resetting for natures or anything. All that's left is to beat the Elite Four and the Champion and I'm done with the main game, then from there I'll get the National Dex and start on the postgame stuff.

Current team:
Infernape Lv57
Roserade Lv57
Toxicroak Lv57
Magnezone Lv57
Pelipper Lv57
Absol Lv55

150? I got 145...

Which ones are you still missing? Note that Manaphy isn't required and doesn't count towards the 150 needed.

For sure Unown and Carnivine.

I believe the other are Feebas, Lumineon, and Finneon, but I am not sure on these.

Which I have all of except for Unown on Sword....

if you go to a Pokemon's Pokedex page on Serebii, there's a spot that says "trainer locations" right under the locations to find them in the wild. If you click "details" next to it, it shows you every trainer in the game that has one so you can see it to complete the Sinnoh Pokedex. But since I already have the pages open, I'll just tell you the locations for those now.

Unown

You can find them in the Solaceon Ruins. I believe it's the only non-legendary Pokemon in the game that no trainer ever uses.

KFHEWUI posted...
Carnivine

A male Ace Trainer in Victory Road uses one, or they can be found in the Great Marsh as a daily binocular Pokemon if you're lucky. Way easier to just go fight that trainer.

Feebas

KFHEWUI posted...
Finneon

A fisher on Route 222 (on the way to Sunyshore) uses both of these. Way easier than trying to find a Feebas in the wild in Mt. Coronet.

Lumineon

A female swimmer on Route 223 (the water route on the way to Victory Road) uses one.

And done! I'm officially the Pokemon League Champion! I still have 7 Pokemon left to see before I can get the National Dex, but after that, it's on to the postgame stuff. I love that you can have multiple profiles on one Switch so you can have multiple save files in a Pokemon game without needing to buy a second copy. I can start my second playthrough (a Kricketune solo as I mentioned in the poll, which I'll likely start a new topic to talk about) on a side profile and still work on the postgame stuff on this main profile at the same time.

If possible, I'd appreciate a tag in your Kricketune solo topic when you make it

Thanks!

I would probably get this game if the EXP share wasn't a thing. It looks beautiful.

Wormadam

Unown
Riolu
Lumineon
Finneon

Now farming for mysterious shards to buy carts or whatever they are called.

The capture rate is total BS in this game. I am having way more misses than successes.

Knocked Suicune's health down to 1, and failed to capture despite using 1 quick ball, 5 ultra balls, 2 great balls, 2 pokballs, 1 luxury ball, 2 net balls, 3 premier balls, and 1 repeat ball.

Just not legendary Pokmon either even some common Pokmon are taking numerous balls to capture despite knocking their health down to almost zero.

Thats... how it's always been. At least in the older games. If anything the newer games made catching easier. Have you blocked out the memories of burning through 70+ ultra balls to catch the Regi's in ruby and sapphire even when they are paralyzed and at one health?

I do not remember needing 5 ultra balls to capture a single Tauros.

Well, I only played ORAS...
