GPX+ Community Thread!

If you're new here then don't be shy! The community thread is the place to come and chat with fellow members of the site who share a common interest with you. Talk about whatever you want, whether it's GPX related or something going on in your personal life, just be sure to read the rules first before posting. There's always someone on the forums to read and respond to your posts, so chat away and maybe you'll meet some great people!

Rules

• Regular forum rules still apply here. Basically don't double post. Don't ask for clicks every time you fill your party. Unless it gets out of hand*, I'm okay with you linking to an exploration Pokemon who needs a specific berry.
  
  *out of hand meaning I don't want to see Pokémon being linked just for leveling or if they need drinks for happiness. These kinds of interactions can be handled just fine by being in your parties and signatures.
  
  
• Do not post your shinies here, there's a shiny thread for that. Discussing them is OK though! Just make sure you add content to your post.
  
  
• Make sure your post contains worthwhile content. If you're posting an exploration Pokémon to be fed berries then be sure to add other content to your post. Same with discussing shinies. Find people to reply to or start a discussion yourself! Your post must, with the shiny portion and berry feeding hypothetically removed*, not read as if you're talking to yourself. To clarify, your post should not be an out-loud thought to yourself, and should contain more general discussion than just information on your current shiny luck.
  
  *if you were to read your post, skipping over any mention of shinies, the post should still sound like a good post.
  
  If any posts are found breaking this rule then they will be instantly deleted and handed a 10% warn.
  
  
• Do not post your GPX+ gear grinders in this thread either. There's also a thread for that. This is mostly for raging at staff or site events that you don't like.
  
  

  
  Okay:
  Ugh, snow again! D;
  Dragon type for the Poke Hunt again??? ):
  
  An off-handed comment that is in no way malicious like this is fine. You can always add an emoticon to help add to the not serious effect, but that it is only a small annoyance.
  
  Not okay:
  Ugh, snow again! Why can't staff do something to change this!?
  Dragon type for the Poke Hunt again??? This is stupid, someone NEEDS to change this or do something about it.
  Where is the - New Feature - that was suppose to happen? They said it was going to be a month ago, so where is it!?
  
  This is more ragey and is trying to throw shade at the site and staff. Either examples can be thrown in the gear grinder thread just fine, but this kind of anger is what I want to avoid in this thread. I hoped this helped explain.. (:
  

  
  
• Do not litter your post with swear words.
  
  
• Memes and Gifs are allowed, but don't overuse them. If the thread turns into nothing but meme and gif replies, I'll give everyone a 10% warn that was involved because it's just plain out spam! Make sure you put these in a spoiler tag.
  
  
• No quote pyramids! Be sure to cut out everything that was before what you're replying to. They can get long and make a page annoying to scroll through, so be considerate to your fellow members!
  
  
• A post must be AT LEAST one sentence long. If you’re saying hi or bye to someone be sure to add something more to your post.
  
  
• If you'd like to advertise something, then be sure you put it in your signature. Youtube, Deviantart (No smut), Fanfication (No smut), Twitch, adoptable sites, your own minecraft servers are all fine. If you Live stream give a heads up that you're live, but be sure to add content. Don't just link dump. Send a PM if you have any questions about anything else!

Just wondering, where do we go to spend our event tokens again? I recall it being in inventory, but I can't seem to find it.

It used to be in the inventory when each event had its own separate currency. But now that all events run off the Coins stat, it's the Event Shop tab of the Shop page.

[Reservoir]

Oof.
Today's feeling like another slow day on the site for me. @@

Lab egg hunting hasn't been going too well...
I don't know if I'm just being really bad or what 😅, but I've been having trouble finding even some Common-rarity eggs despite searching while eggs are being generated.

Shelter egg hunting... also bad, but makes sense. I've only really been keeping an eye out for some Novelty mons that I lack egg entries for. I don't know breeding rates, but between that, limited users breeding, I assume limited novelty success which one would obviously hold on to, online times, etc.. I don't expect much. But it's sooo exciting when something new does pop up! 8D
It's neat being able to look at statistics and see if anyone is breeding, hunting, etc mons, by the way. o:

My hatches haven't been going well... IVs are generally underwhelming. Nature can be forced, but it's costly and I keep finding mons to not be worth it, so I'm mostly working with RNG now. :p
and I cannot seem to snag this last Iron Shard that I'm so adamant about getting before any other Plate can complete. ;;

Getting back into Battle Subway has been fun xD
I'd been eager to for a time, but was trying to wait to rebuild my team. Since I'm having trouble with hatches, though, I decided to just dive in a few days ago.
Oooh! I seem to get to about the same streak number then run into some hitch.
It's driving me mad since I wonder if a more optimized team like I'm trying for might help me press on. ><
I'd like to hit at least another 75 streak for an additional Expansion. But past that, I really want to hit 100 just to. Reached 82 way back when, and continued to dabble a bit before rl stuff stepped in a bit much, causing me to drop off and later be gone entirely for a long time.

Gotta keep from being consumed, but I tend to enjoy myself and find this a nice little getaway of sorts. ^^

Good morning and Happy New Year (2022) Everybody!

It's been another crazy end of year here at the Lazy T, but with the help of some constant GPXers, I was able to finish the exploration with time to spare (barely). So thank you, my fellow players. I literally couldn't have done it without you!

If I were a person that made new year's resolutions I would resolve to returning to the GPX explorations. To test this resolution I opted to go with what might be a truly difficult explore... Needing a Friend. And I know that, I'm going to need a lot of friends when it comes time to feed those berries. So here is to all of us needing friends and help to finish those explores and raise up those Pokémon.

Has there been a change in Heart Sweets? I have plenty in my Inventory, but they don't seem to show up on my Daycare page, so that I can grab the two eggs that I want.

[Ryuk3112]

When I logged on at 21:00 BST, it said it was giving out an event Pokemon.
Did I miss an update because I was unaware of any distributions today

I got one that I probably SHOULDN'T have. I had a full 6 egg Party, but got an Event Egg as well.

And I don't see a mention of a distribution anywhere on the other page, so it looks like it was a surprise?

I also just got home from work and doctor appointments and shopping. I found I had 7 eggs in my party. What a surprise! A HAPPY surprise, by the by! Thank you, GPX! That was very unexpected and appreciated.

[Zotz]

Man, I was hunting the best I could while at my family's for the last 2 weeks. And then, just today, I managed to hatch a shiny for the SWSH...from eggs I'd grabbed yesterday XD Ugh! Oh well haha

I also made any oopsie and summoned an egg before buying the summoning power item. Thankfully I found it after about three minutes, whew!

Anyways, happy December everyone! I hope you all have a nice one I'd like to try to be more active and just pop in to say hello here and there, soooo here's my attempt lol

Edit: Also, I've been watching my sister play Violet and...for the first time in a while, I actually wanna play. But boy are Switches pricey.

I've been having fun with Scarlet but I understand the price hike. Maybe you could ask to borrow your sister's? Ehehe. Happy December.

She'd actually offered that, buuuut I ended up not doing it ;w; Now that I'm 900 miles away back home, it's too late haha

Is Secret Santa exchange happening this year? I haven't seen anything for it and I've been waiting all year

[Zotz]

I thought that the hunt had started already aaaa I'm so annoyed xD

[Mamanator]

Good evening fellow GPXers. I have a question for those who are playing Violet and/or Scarlet.

I don't want to divulge much so I'll just pose it this way.

If you battled the first Titan, but didn't capture it (because you [me] were dense and didn't realize you would be able to), and you found out through semi accurate web resources that you'll only have 1 chance to catch (them all...) would you restart you game and try again or just deal with the fact that you might not get that Titan at all?

I'm trying to decide if it is worth restarting my game and going through it again. My Pokémon are only leveled to 25 (majority case) but I do have a few other gifted ones. I suppose I can try to keep them safe in the Pokémon bank if that is set up for Violet and Scarlet now....

Thoughts?

Just to be clear you battled the first Titan twice and killed it twice, right? Because the very first time you fight it - you cannot capture it. It must be defeated, but after you do so if you go back to that area you will see another one you'll be able to interact with and are able to catch that one (one time only like you said).
If you did interact with that one and defeated it - I wouldn't restart my game tbh. You could always just continue to beat the game, then make a new switch profile and recatch the first titan, send it to home, and then back to your main game. Each Switch profile has their own save game data but all connect to Home in the same way.

Thanks, Level-X. No, I only fought it the once and wasn't sure if I could capture it or not. After it ran off, I got dejected thinking I messed up. I checked online, and the first resource that I mentioned in my post didn't say or indicate that I'd get a second fight-chance to capture it. It only said we'd only get 1 chance to capture the titans. So I thought that battle, the story line was, was that one and only battle.

My daughter's friends confirmed that titans can't breed and I was uncertain how to proceed, but they felt sure I'd get another chance. So I dug deeper on the 'net and, sure enough, I found another article saying exactly what you just said.

So... while I wasn't intending to return so quickly, as I was backtracking and finding my way in the wide open spaces, I found the air titan again. While the type matches online have been as useless as my first search about the titan, I did manage to put some level 24 electrics in my party and I battled the air titan again. This time... I was able to catch it. Phew!

Thanks again for responding though. I'm so glad to have this resource to ask these random game questions. *blush* I do wish my air titan had been male. I think Tux (short for Tuxedo) would've been better than Snowy. But for now, that's what I've got. So I'm happy. Thanks!

Yep, no problem! It's easy to tell if they're gonna be a Titan because you have to press "a" and even walking into them doesn't trigger the battle. You can set it's Titan Mark once you catch it and place it into your party from the summary screen! Also the nature and gender are all pre-set, meaning it's the same for everyone!

Happy Saturday to my fellow GPXers. I'm here with another question about Scarlet and Violet, if that's ok.

Apparently, I have 3 badges (guess that means I defeated 3 gyms). So my Pokemon should be nice and "obey" me up to level 30. However! I have a Rufflet (caught at level 26) and he's currently a level 28. He just. Won't. Battle. Not if I encounter a wild Pokemon to battle... not if I send him out ahead to battle. What's his problem? Does anybody have any insight what is going on? In my party, Rufflet certainly isn't the lowest level nor was he the highest. I am working on returning some gym guy's wallet and trying to figure out how to beat either Orthoworm or the Earth Quaking Titan, but so far no luck in getting close enough to do that which is why I was leveling up to 30.

As an FYI... Rufflet is level 28 and, being in the party, just recently became level 29.

You get badges from Team Star bases and Titan fights too and those don't effect obedience level, only the Gym badges do.
One Gym Badge - Lv. 25 or lower will obey.
Two Gym Badges - Lv. 30 or lower will obey.
Three Gym Badges - Lv. 35 or lower will obey.
At this point you're needing about 3 badges handed from gym leaders for him to obey you

OK. Thanks. It's just weird how some of the Pokemon are obeying me and that one wasn't. My current plan is to get through the Asad Desert sands to where I can deliver the wallet, collect that gym badge, then I guess go for the Quaking Earth Titan since that one seems closer (though out of order from what the internet is saying is the right sequence). Times like these I really miss those "pay too much for" guides. LOL

Thank you, Level-X!
