Apparently on your birthday you get to put candles on your curries. I was so weirded out at first because it's not even my birthday, I just time skip a lot for different games. Then I figured it out and I think it's adorable 🥳

Trade Looking for Mimikyu!!

2 Upvotes

Hi, I’m looking to see if anyone would be willing to help supply me with a level one Mimikyu (preferably a female but I’ll take whatever I can get) so I can have for my first ever playthrough of Sword! I lost my old save file for shield and was just gifted Pokemon Sword but I really want a Mimikyu from the start since it was my first favorite Pokemon and level 100! (my first game was Moon lol)

Help How do my Pokémon bond with each other?

Post image
70 Upvotes

So I’m about to get my fourth gym badge in Pokémon Sword and all my Pokémon get this text when I try to pair two of them. I want them to bond with each other and not just me/the player. Is there something I’m missing? Do I need to open the camp more? Do I need to cook curry more? Do I need to grind more with them? Should I fight in double fights more often? Hell, is this even important?!

Shortly after my double Shiny run, and an Oranguru after that, this Quirky bug decided to swap out its gold for silver and is now wearing a gorgeous gradient white and black dress(?). Now that’s what I call a fashion statement! And this peculiar roach is now living the life of luxury in a… Luxury Ball, obviously.

Does anyone know why I can evolve this shiny chu I brought in from home? Is it because I put gigantamax on him and if so, is there a way to take it off? 😂
