Well, you got it in one. Playing online or local tournaments will be something I look into doing. I am also off travelling around asia next year so if I can hop into one of their local tournaments then I will do just to see how mental it is.

feck I really want the Steelbook! But I have a 50$ gift card on amazon so I feel better paying 70$ on the dual pack than 120$, I have a pre-order on it but I'm starting to think of switching to Shield only, I have a voucher and I'm still not sure I want to use that on LM3.I am getting the dual pack for the nice Steelbook
Ahhh, there it is then. Competitive is a near completely different game. Never played in tourneys, or whatever, but I used to rack up plenty of friendly/pickup games on Pokemon Showdown a long time ago.
Should still be good for practice and teambuilding testing.
I'm torn, Sword legendary is way better, but Shield has Tyranitar...
I'm getting shield.
I a super confused now, I just went to go and do my pre-order and everywhere that had the Dynamax Crystals as a Pre-Order bonus now no longer lists it as such. Have they been done away with ? Is there anywhere else that is still doing it ?
No they are still there.
It is just really weird, they were in the product description and now there is no mention of them anywhere.
It's in the picture of the product.
@Havak has entered plenty and won a few. He probably knows more about competitive play than anyone else on here.
Have you entered any Pokémon tournaments before or played competitive battles? I'd be happy to give some advice, but if it's in-person tournaments you're interested in, you'll have to attune yourself to Double Battles as that's the only format used in official events.
(1) - No
(2) - Excellent, I will definitely take you up on that
.(3) - Right on, I will need to do some more diving once I get familiar with the basics of all the mechanics. Found some good starter tutorials for now that should keep me going until release.
Reminder that if you want Shiny Solgaleo or Shiny Lunala they're out now: https://www.serebii.net/events/2019.shtml
I can't get a code but good luck to those who do.

Giving away shiny pokemon for nowt, Snowjoe must be spinning in his grave.
it’s a travesty quite honestly
The only wild shiny I've ever found is a tentacool.
I found one in a rom hack once... An Electrode.
Did that end well or did it self destruct?I caught it, but since it was a rom, I couldn't keep it/forward it to modern games.
Found a few shinies in Let's Go, loved the shiny Growlithe I got. Got about half a dozen shiny Chansey's at the end of the game when I was levelling everyone up in Cerulean Cave.
I've never found a wild shiny in one of the main games. Got a shiny Zubat in Let's Go though.
Was so hyped to get it as well, I'm probably the only Zubat fan in existence (did a nuzlocke on Gold, and Crobat took out four of Red's Pokemon on his own. I refuse to count Electrode's pathetic performance against Snorlax as a contribution).

I once got a shiny Gyarados.
Tbf EV training has been a thing since forever but it only really became a *necessity* in the later generations where you play against people in the world who utilise stuff like that and IV training etc. for competitive purposes
I found a shiny Ekans in a rom of pokemon silver. I'm hesitant to call it legit because I don't know if the rom was modified in any way. There's a few romhacks where shinies are dime a dozen.
I don't know if any of you are interested, I'm getting Pokemon Shield and I want to trade exclusive pokemon with others, and maybe starters? Anyone interested? We can also set up caf raid battles?
Teach me Havak-sensei.
I’m getting shield so shouldn’t be a problem, me and my brother are gonna do the starters so I’ll breed multiple I’m sure
Sirfetch'd is the Seord exclusive I want the most.
No new reveals, but really good summaries of everything we got so far, funny how Impidimp hasn't been revealed officially yet even after being in that 24 hours stream.
When do they come out? I might start a new Alpha Sapphire at the same time in protest.
In protest of what? Them releasing a new game?

Possible Sobble and Grookey evo leak: https://pokejungle.net/2019/11/01/rumor-are-these-the-evolutions-of-sobble-and-grookey/
I love that Sobble evo.
Sounds about right from previous leaks but damn it looks ugly.
Sobble3 leak is so shit I'm not going to even bother post it.
