  • I have a complete dex. On both versions. On two consoles to boot (a Switch and a Switch lite) , so four save files. It took me a month, but I did it.

  • Pokedex COMPLETE! 😁 After being at 399 for like a week, I finally got foggy weather at Bridge Field and caught the last one, Mimikyu. Yay! 😁

  • i'm a little over halfway there now........a bitch strugglin but they Tryin. lack of gts makes it sooo hard to just quickly pick up the base forms of what you need tbh. i tend to just surprise trade constantly just to keep up a cycle of potentially getting something new but i'm starting to reach a point where that likeliness is going down. but i do try to at least trade out stuff that is unique or even things you can easily miss. like i think i'm still missing machop but i have machoke and machamp lol it just be like that

    I was able to finish mine early because I have a friend that helped me with the version exclusives.

  • I finished mine, without hacking! I feel accomplished because prior to this game all I did was hack, always took the easy way, but everything I have done so far is legit and it feels rather nice.
    P.S. My pms are always open for long touch trades to assist in people finishing their dex; I think that my longest was a two hour trade secession. If you have the time, so do I.

  • I'm only 20 away from completing it on Sword- the only ones I'm missing are version exclusives. I was lucky to get a few version exclusives from surprise trades (I've been sending out a bunch of hidden ability Snom I got from shiny breeding) but this is where I've always gotten stuck in the past in terms of dex completion. I'm still debating whether I should wait for Pokemon Home to come out and transfer the exclusives in from there, or if I should just find someone to trade with, but it's the fastest I've ever gotten so close to completing it.

    Finished mine a few days before New Year but have to admit I cheated with the clock settings to get some of the rare Pokémon :<

    I had tried to catch as much as I could during the playthrough but some random mons slipped me by until really close to the end, like Phantump and Mimikyu. Happy to help with trades if anyone needs it!

  • Haven't completed the Pokedex yet, but I'm close, I've gotten 365 so far. Most of the ones left are Shield exclusives (I have Sword), some that must be evolved through trading, and some stragglers (Mawile and uh... Karrablast, strangely 😅).

  • Nah. Gradually getting towards the end, but going back and forth between trades is helpful.

    Last time I checked, I was around 215.

    I'll take the help if you don't mind. I only need 19 more

    Nope. I got the Shiny Charm after Galarian Slowpoke was released, without obtaining it.

    And yes, that means I have the dex complete now in that sense. Thanks to trades from Janna and also Izaya. \o/
