Honestly, building a team other than trick room almost makes breeding a completely skippable step in these games. You're showered in so many cash items, mints, bottlecaps, and capsules that you can basically make any mon you catch off the side of the road competitively viable in minutes, making this sun room team essentially a worst-case scenario for S/V competitive prep. I'm actually looking forward to putting my first team together this time around. ... well, not counting having to grind for tera shards. But the basic process has been made so easy and freeform, I can almost forgive how much grinding needs to be done for those. Almost.

@@imablisy I'd also say that getting a worst case scenario as our example makes it good for reference, since it didn't have to deal with pulling pokemon from different games or getting move tutors in different games set up and then sending them back, as well as the simplicity of the ev spreads not needing fine tuning. The only other thing would be 0 attack on special attackers for the slim chance you run into someone using confuse. Shards could be better, but I do see the design logic in the idea that the pve endgame was for people to be regularly grinding 5 and 6 star raids online, with the 7 star event raids also happening, it could be assumed that your average player starts building up a lot of shards and tons of treasure for money. I hopefully look forward to a dlc restaurant that does it for 20 shards instead of 50, and a new area that only gets high star raids, and hopefully a better way to reset evs than feeding them a ton of berries that you may or may not have even found many of on the ground.

Masuda method is so much more enjoyable now that you don't have to run around in a circle in front of some building, talking to an NPC every 5 seconds. I can go in a picnic, make a sandwich, and then go make food IRL/to the bathroom/what have you, and come back 5 minutes later to 10 eggs that sort themselves directly in my boxes.

I'd rather collect eggs while hatching them simultaneously. Having to manage more menu's is also annoying and its definitely worse than SwSh. :/ I think it would've been great to keep the daycare but have some access/connections to it through the pokéstops or something, and you could collect a bunch of eggs at once at any of the Pokéstops while traveling around and hatching eggs which would be a breeze with the new sandwich boost. That'll be more fun imo.

I get they aren’t for everyone but it’s nice to be able to afk-generate eggs while doing something else like watching a video, making dinner, chatting on Discord, etc. However, the best change to breeding was how fast eggs hatch now. I’d imagine if it wasn’t for the increased hatch speed, breeding would be worse in Scarlet and Violet than it was in Sword and Shield due to the mandatory waiting for eggs.

You could accomplish the same by including a daycare that generates eggs with movement as well as being able to afk for them. Hell you could even just allow people to open their box during picnic and it would be so much better. Cutting the rate of egg acquisition is just objectively worse and it just doesn't feel great when the time it took in past gens to acquire and hatch a box or two of eggs is just taken to sit there and wait for a single box to be sent to storage.

I think one thing that's worth mentioning is that if you're looking to EV train, you should look at your Mass Outbreaks and see if there's anything that has the EV yield you're looking for. What you're looking for isn't always going to be there, but if it is (or is a stat you already have maxed out) you can easily use the Power items to keep hitting Pokemon from the same outbreak. It gets even better when the Pokemon is one that automatically aggros you, as you don't have to run around and initiate the battles, with the battles coming to you instead. A really good Pokemon outbreak I encountered for this was Revavroom. It has 2 Attack EVs, and will target you down and DASH straight at you the second it notices you. This means you can keep spamming the A button on a Super Effective attack and just keep getting Attack EVs for whatever Pokemon needs it. Just an example, but I think the Mass Outbreaks are great for more than just Shiny Hunting. Edit: Also I think the video title is slightly confusing, and confused a couple of my friends. Some people took it as referring to Competitive matches taking less time (less turns) rather than Breeding Competitive Pokemon taking less time. Not sure how you would fix that, or if ya even want to. Just figured I'd mention it!

i'm glad i'm not alone with the changes to the eggs. like, we'd basically perfected the system for 20+ years. i've always bred my vgc teams for big events, especially for things like worlds and internats, and it was always a sort of therapeutic ritual. i get that i'm in the minority here on that part, but you're right it's got a real flow to it. i've been breeding a team currently and i feel like i'm fiddling with boxes or afk for most of it. i know there was an interview with masuda where he said he didn't like the idea that there are players out there who spend all of their time just hatching eggs. so i think that's why we've seen so much to improve just 'using what you find' but building up the resources necessary for that, accounting for multiple teams (potentially hundreds per generation) and team progression changes through a season, it's still way too slow. like you can short cut the process with pokemon showdown, but we shouldn't need showdown as a step one. and don't get me started on the tera shard fiasco.

You do have to keep in mind, you compared SwSh with all DLC to SV with no DLC. I have no doubt you'll be able to buy Tera Shards in DLC, just like you can apply G-max in IoA for SwSh. I think the 50 Tera Shards cost with no easy way of getting a lot of them is mostly due to new game trying to push you to do raids to get your Tera pokemon rather than just changing them willy-nilly, at game launch; Just like how Gmax was handled with SwSh. Additionally, this is still early days, and if people consistently do raids over the next few months before the first official VGC tournament, people will likely have a large number of Tera Shards. Sure, not enough to not have to worry, but I think enough to get their first teams put together. Also, breeding is worse, but also better imo. It's better overall for shiny hunting, probably worse if you don't need 100s of Pokemon. The idle time can be spent outside of the game (such as working if you are a tech worker like me) and the hatching is significantly faster imo. Going directly to box seems directly aimed at shiny hunters, as we rarely want our first batch to go into our party because we want to hatch them all at the same time. Sadly, every egg requires an extra egg cycle after each hatch to hatch the next one, so that defeats that (didn't we have this fixed in BDSP?!). Sandwich buffs are huge for eggs, and you get about 10 eggs (the limit) in roughly 6 minutes of waiting. That said, I would also prefer being able to run around while waiting for eggs to be laid, and I also don't like the whole, "pokemon in the party" BS. I think it's overall 2 steps forward, 1.5 steps back. Also, if you cheese the Academy Ace Tournament with a turbo controller like described in GameBoyLuke's video, you'll be ready to just purchase all the vitamins you need in no time. But obviously, that's a little out of the scope of this video. My biggest issue is that there is no EV clearing outside of Berries, which can't be purchased and can only be picked up, so if you mess up the EVs, or need to fix EVs on a re-used Pokemon, it is a pain. I think this will also come in DLC. Gotta have *some* reason to convince battlers to buy the DLC, right? 😅 Edit: Also, as for grinding, if you don't need money, there is a place where if you use a Ham Sandwich, you can grind against level 45 Chanseys and level up a team super fast. Additionally, I found a Super Ham Sandwich (I think it's called? The one with Fairy encounter lvl 2) in the Iron Valiant/Roaring Moon cave is really good, because Iron Valiant and Roaring Moon give crazy amounts of XP as well.

Hey, nice video! I did some estimates of training methods and was planning to test the time to make a team (once I'm done duping Ability Patches... 14 hours of duping so far) but it seems you beat me to it! My napkin math said 6 hours glitchless for a team without altered tera-type and you took 17, so I'm planning to identify the differences by checking out your stream and comparing whatever I get when I get to testing. I'm doubtful breeding is the right call for IVs. 52 minutes for Torkoal seems like too much, when that would cost ₽80k Bottle Caps + ₽20k Mint = ₽100k. That's one run of the Ace Academy Tournament, much faster than 52 minutes. I'd extend the same logic to Hariyama, Lilligant, and Oranguru. It also cuts finding the 5 IV Ditto, so the only thing that would matter is the 0 IV Ditto. Traditional EV training seems like the fastest way to go, which I'd be fine with if PKRS was still around. There's something quaint about doing it the old ways (though I wonder who at GameFreak sat there and said "yes, let's remove PokéJobs, the thing that makes EV training effectively 5 minutes"). Shard Farming is looking to be a nightmare. I hear 50 shards is anywhere from 4 hours with a casual team to 1.5 hours *if* you have proper raid counters. That's still up to 9 hours of raid grinding on top of training proper raid counters (which need EVs lol). While I hope it gets fixed by DLC, that's already going to be too late for early-season VGC. My last hope is that Battle Stadium rewards a lot of shards for hitting Master Ball rank. Thanks for another cool video!

love reading your comments on blisy’s videos. totally agree that it’s too late for early-season VGC and I’m sad about it. I don’t want to keep waiting for DLC to fix issues with the game that have been in several past generations. like an EV resetter not being in base SwSh, and not being in base SV, but they did put it in the isle of armor DLC because they identified that issue… an easy fix would be to have competitive pokemon be a separate part of the game. disconnected from in-game teams and battles, existing in a special city or something where they stay in permanent boxes exclusively for battling. online or at tournaments. Pokemon Showdown, but inside the game. probably somewhere in the post game. but some kind of system that can make battling the focus of the competitive scene, not breeding or grinding. just my thoughts, would love to read what others thoughts are too

They likely removed Pokerus due to COVID. It's quite normal to delay or otherwise cancel episodes of a TV Show shortly after a natural disaster if those episodes contain a reference to said disaster. For example, not airing an Episode where a Pokemon uses Earthquake shortly after an actual Earthquake hits Japan. Keeping this in mind, it's no surprise they went and removed the contagious virus that... Makes those infected STRONGER, encouraging you to spread it to as many Pokemon as possible? It sucks for EV training, but it makes sense why they'd remove it.

Tera shard grinding sucks for sure, not defending it when I say this, BUT you can increase how many shards are dropped per raid with raid power from sandwiches. It still sucks because you need herba mystica for the lvl 2/3 raid power boosts as far as I know, and they only last 30 minutes and are only for a specific type. Sadly that makes them hard to use for joining random raids online. At the very least, you can see what type of raid you have the most of in a day and clear all of those with raid power and get a decent amount of shards. Still really sucks, but at least this can help mitigate the time somewhat, but not a lot at all.

The comparison to old gens doesn’t feel fair because you knew all the best tricks for the old games but for this game there was a lot of inefficiencies. Also, on tera shards you will need to farm them up once but then you can use the rental code trick to save l the tera shards. For farming the 7 star event raids are crucial.

Hard agree on the breeding. I had such a nice set up in SwSh where I'd be hatching 5 eggs at once while collecting 5 new eggs from the daycare. It was extremely convenient. In this game, I generally make a great marmalade sandwich, collect eggs every 5 minutes until it runs out (I usually end up with around 60 eggs this way), and then run in circles in a nearby town until they're all hatched. If I find what I'm looking for in the early eggs, I'm left with dozens of eggs that I still have to hatch or else they'll take up space forever. It sucks

love the vid as always! i agree about the breeding a lot, even if it ends up being about the same amount of time, I’d rather not be idle waiting for eggs for minutes on end. very VERY disappointed about the Tera shard part as well. I have ideas for teams that absolutely require unique Tera types, and I don’t want to have to grind for 50 of a single type. the lack of in game person to reset EVs also is a step backwards considering they put a person like that in the Isle of Armor… somehow this was a step back in some regards, but especially a step back in time to tweak a team with minor modifications or changing to a different and viable Tera typing to see how to feels compared to the other. I hope that DLC can fix this, but I’m disappointed that it isn’t in the base game and continues to nudge people in the direction of hacking in pokemon.

One of the cardinal rules of game mechanics: If you need to AFK for resources, you need to be able to task overlap (aka generating eggs and hatching eggs). Breeding in SV breaks this rule. The devs have no clue of what they're doing and probably didn't play their own game. So much time spent making stupid irrelevant stuff like school classes, yet testing if breeding actually flows was not given any thought. They should at least have allowed the player to generate eggs while doing raids or something. Good vid!

Of note, there are setups to AFK farm the Ace Tournament with a turbo controller. So while it requires one (there are officially licensed turbo controllers, but they are an additional purchase), you can set up the particular Pokémon, then leave the game running overnight, so the only thing you’ll need to breed for is 0 IVs. Bottle caps and mints are 20K a pop, and with vitamins not being capped anymore, you can cut out a ton of grinding. Tera shards are brutal, but Raid powers help a ton, cutting that grind down, which mainly leaves Ability Patches as an issue. I haven’t done competitive Pokémon setup yet, but making raid mons (level 100 EV trained 5 perfect IVs and correct move pool) usually takes me about an hour or so.

I think these games are even easier (except tera shards) than your time implies given the fact that the other times are based on having knowledge of the best methods and this one not. For example, ev training through KO's is even easier than what you were able to achieve if you abuse encounter sandwiches. Encounter power normal to spawn only chanseys by the fairy team star base for hp evs, or encounter power electric to spawn a ton of raichu in area zero outside research lab 3 for speed evs, I've found ev training to be extremely fast. Having a belly drum sweeper (iron hands, cetitan, huge power azumarill) makes one shotting 5 star raids very easy for making money and getting mints very fast too. The amount of money you can get with this makes bottle caps extremely easy to get as they're about the only thing you might need to spend lots of money on, so even very suboptimal pokemon can be fixed up very easily. Tera shards are inexcusable though. Even with being able to one shot tera raids of almost every type after maxing out a bunch of different pokemon (which itself added up to a decent amount of time for me), it takes at minimum 20 raids of a given type just to change one single pokemon. It's not OK.

Def my favorite mechanic since mega evolution and if it wasn't because of how much I love mega Mawile I would say it's my favorite overall. I remember reading a regional champions team profile notes saying that he settled on his Baxcalibur using tera water simply because he didn't have enough shards to make it steel and while at the time it made me laugh because I've been there before, it's also annoying that whenever we take a step forward we also take a step backwards somewhere else; tera shards, breeding and TMs.

Herbs can be bought in stores for $10,000 per herb. 3) Tera farming is a great way of getting money, XP, and tera shards. By tera farming, you can knock out several birds at once. You could shave off hours if you used tera farming.

From my personal experience Gen9 is a vast improvement over previous gen on accessibility. I think a lot of change is GF wanting you to do raids and not the old ways of breeding&grinding. Following this approach, if you first build a Iron Hands/Azumarill that can easily solo raids, your resource quickly start snowballing. Breeding/IVs/nature: imo you don’t really need to breed more than a couple of eggs given how easy it is to augment natures with mints and IVs with hyper training at lv50.(imo this is what GF is going for) EVs: I used normal encounter sandwich to get chanseys with power items to get 9HP/8 other stat+1HP EVs plus quite a bit of experience. If I have the resource, then it’s meds+wings, even faster. Levels: there’s more than enough Exp candy from raids for lv50. TM/Tera shards: i agree this is the new grind. All in all, I think SV team building is soooo much faster. And if you have the cash, it takes like 20 minute for a whole team.

I left my game on overnight for some AFK breeding before I knew how things worked, and was incredibly disappointed to have gotten 10 eggs out of 12 hours.

Tera shards are an absolute drag for those who don’t know. I play BSS, which is the official singles format, and in BSS, pretty much every mon wants a tera type that isn’t one of its natural types. For example I’ll use Dragonite, as currently it is the most common and universally agreed to be the best Pokémon in the BSS metagame. Dragonite runs quite a few different sets, all of which want different tera types. The most common sets, Dragon Dance and Choice Band, want Tera Normal for STAB Extreme Speed, or Tera Flying, to have a good Flying STAB in Tera Blast. If you breed for a Dragonite, it will ALWAYS have tera Dragon, as Dratini is a pure Dragon Type. This is just the main set too, Dragonite has tons of sets with different Teras for different situations and teammates. This is just one Pokémon too, top tier threats like Flutter Mane, Annihilape, Iron Hands, Dondozo, Gholdengo, and more all have optimal tera types that require shard grinding, and it is absolutely absurd.

Idk if you've done a video about it, or if anyone has spoken about this, but I'm here to defend my favorite Gen (Gen 5). So I saw that you are comparing the results to white version, but have you experienced the upgrades black & white 2 offer? The only place where I'd say newer gens are way faster is with breeding perfect IVs, but even then, there are incredible tools black and white 2 offer, for instance, there is a pass power that greatly increases the speed at which eggs hatch, not only that, but there are facilities that you can build (up to 10) that let you hatch eggs inmediatly once they have reached a certain level in join avenue. There are also tools to help with breeding moves indirectly, since Restaurants and dojos let you level up your pokemon up 13 levels instantly, bypassing the "learn a new move" pop up screen, so ultimately it becomes faster to get male pokemon to a higher level without the risk of the daycare deleting the moves you want. And that's just with breeding, I believe there is a high chance that Gen 5 is faster with ev training than any other game, for multiple reasons, one is that, just like breeding facilities, in join avenue you can build restaurants and dojos that give up to 64 evs to your pokemon inmediatly by paying a certain amount of money, so if you have a couple max leveled facilities in join avenue you'd just spent like 3 minutes buying those evs to your pokemon. But I hear you say "Wouldn't money be a problem?" well guess what, there is a pass power that gives you three times the money you'd get from trainers, on top the multiplier given by amulet coin, and there are infinite battles you can have in black tower (where there are lots of ladies, rich boys, socialites and gentlemen) so in a manner of minutes you can just grind millions of pokedollars. Even if you don't enter or don't have the black tower (as you'd need to have a copy of black 2 or been shared the black tower key) there are several daily trainer encounters you can battle to get money, for example, colress and the gym trio (cilan and his siblings) which with you can get essentially 200,000 in a matter of three minutes per day, enough for your consumptions. Even when you're not grinding for money, but for pass orbs for pass powers you can play missions that give you sell items, such as big pearls, pearls and healing items in excess, that you can sell, which makes getting money faster at any point. In the case of experience this games also have you covered, there is also a pass power that gives more experience, along with the lucky egg, and in the white tree hollow you can battle breeders that have blisseys, chanseys and happinies up to level 82, which, along the lucky egg and pass powers, can level up your level 1 pokemon to level 50ish in one single battle. This, along with the facilities that help you level up your pokemon, makes the process take a couple of minutes. The issue I'd say is that, there is somewhat of a leveling curve you need to grind before you can have access to everything I just mentioned, which can be achieved by connecting continously to another copy of the games, not horrific in my opinion, and even before you can have access to the highest level rewards the facilities and the white tree hollow & black tower can offer you, you can have access to lower level rewards which still cuts off a lot of hours of playtime, until you get the highest level ones. Let me know if you have a video about Gen 5 training, or have any questions on the topic, I'd love to help you out with info. Anyway, I love your videos, cheers :) Edit: I just found the video, posting this comment there.

Picnics for breading hurts my head, I miss loading up from the day care and seeing how many eggs I have I use to load up a box so it doesn’t effect me but it’s somehow more painful here

not sure if this was explained but at 5:25 fluttermane technically spawn in during the day they just despawn on frame 0/1 cause the game checks if it's day or night, the exception to this is a shiny fluttermane as it will not despawn shiny fluttermane even if it's during the day, again not sure if anyone mentioned it at all but though I would incase someone did want to try to get one during the day edit: also since this was before event raids (mainly blissey raids) it did take a while but with the item machine in the dlc and the event raids the money grinding and the tera shard grinding should take way way less time now

Breeding was my absolute favorite part of every Pokemon game since gen 3. WAS. The new system is absolutely atrocious and completely kills any chance at longevity this game has for me. Easily the worst change in a game full of negative changes.

I would say one of the best ways to build a competitive team in gen 9 would be to grind raids while going through the main game because you can buy bottle caps mints, and vitamins along with ev decrasing berries you can get all the money you need by picking times up of the ground along with playing through the main story with star fall street you get a bunch of LP after every base and you can sell pokemon materials to get even more money if you run out you can grind raids and if you don't have a good pokemon you can use some of your money to get a pokemon like iron hands there are certain builds that make it super easy to solo 5-6 raids with those you can get even more items to sell for money terra shards for the terra type and bottle caps and ability items and mints along with vitamins you can get through it a lot faster except if you need a mon with zero ivs in a certain stat until Nintendo makes a item the can set a iv to zero like a rusty bottle cap

Honestly, a trick room team is probably the hardest one to build for, Bottle caps are plentiful for fixing IVs to max but theres no item for knocking an IV to 0 so you are at the mercy of RNG to get something good.

As someone how’s very active and has other hobbies I quite like the gameplay lope in S&V because it’s designed to be played in shorter bursts. For example do a few raids, go do something else, do a few battles go do something else, start a picnic go do something else. I can understand how your more hardcore gamer wouldn’t like this design though.

So now that we've been in the DLC part 1 for a bit and part 2 is less then a month away, here's some thoughts on comp Pokemon team building (while ignoring Pokemon not even available in SV being legal): If you complete the Kitakami dex you'll get a charm that increases the amount of Tera Shards you get per tera raid by a considerable amount, i think you get like +10 from any 5-star raids alone, which cuts the grind for that by a lot. Definitely sucks that you need the DLC to get it but if you want to compete you'd already need Ogerpon anyways, as its a powerhouse you're at a disadvantage if you cant use it rather then dont want to. $95 for an incomplete game definitely isnt worth it, but if you're competing im sure youll get your money's worth. There is no Rusted Bottle Cap or something that allows for 0 in an IV. This essentially locked me out of the new trick room abuser Blood Moon Ursaluna. This sucks because I'm pretty sure you cant breed it. Wouldn't be special if you could after all. So TLD I have 3 complaints: $95 to compete is a bit to much imo and that's just assuming your buy 1 base game and 1 DLC, youd probably need both S and V, and at least 1 DLC currently No rusted Bottle Cap or something for 0IV users even tho 1 new Pokemon is a trick room abusing special attacker Pokemon only obtainable outside of SV are legal Hoping they solve the 0IV part in Part 2 of the DLC, because i have 0 hope thag they'll actually ban Pokemon outside of SV unfortunately.

They made the breeding mechanic harder but I think someone at gamefreak put some kind of “weight” to the nature that specific Pokémon want in the game. I felt like I got suspiciously too good of nature rolls while playing through the game.

As a shiny hunter, I also hate the new breeding system. Sure, it's nice to afk sometimes, but I'm the same as you- I really enjoyed the rythm and active playing of old gens. They're both really repetitive, but I find SV's more draining, having to sit and wait and not being able to do ANYTHING else. Just stuck inside the little picnic box (for 30+ minutes at a time for someone like me who needs as many eggs as possible per sandwich) spamming A on one spot. It suuuuuucks. Thankfully for me, breeding is the LEAST effective shiny method in this gen aside from certain mons haha

I love the new breeding, its excellent for shiny hunting. If you need something with zero IVs this game’s breeding is trash. Otherwise, its pretty solid cause you can get a bajillion eggs. The one problem with this (imo) is that we cant mass release pokemon. Breeding hundreds of eggs takes no time but getting rid of them is a job. Edit: great video as usual!! Im a fan 😊

i personally like the flow of the new egg system. you eat an egg power 2 sandwich, collect eggs for half an hour where i get about 2 boxes of eggs per sandwich, then swap to a flame body pokemon and hatch all of the eggs until you get one you want. i never really liked the old system so im all for the new one. though i agree sending eggs directly to the box is bullshit

It took me one hr to ev train and hyper train. As well as reach 100. Yes not being stopped by battle points to buy the ev training items and bottle caps but with real cold hard cash…lol…. Makes it so much easier and honestly more enjoyable to train you pokemon to beasts. I love having big massive pp pokemon and this has made that sooooo much easier. 😊

I appreciate how much faster the process is with the ease of hyper training and obtaining mints, this process couldve been optimized a ton by not caring at all about ivs (besides 0 speed) or natures since those can be patched up later. But tera shard requirements are infuriating, it reminds me pf trying to naturally find gigantamax raids before events or IoA. Lots of mons have multiple viable tera types, but even just changing to something off-type is a big investment. Like if you wanted a Dnite or Garganacl, mons who don’t usually want a same type tera type, then the grind becomes necessary. This then can become compounded because when you try a team you’re likely not done on the first draft! Maybe grass Torkoal actually is the spicy tech you want for stab sbeam, resisting water/ground, and ignoring spore and rage powder vs fire’s raw power. So you then need those 50 shards and have to hope you don’t want to change again due to changes in the team or overall meta. Because what if next tera fighting for stab body press/tera blast for ttar becomes something you value? Or fairy for all the dragons? Etc etc. And that’s just one Pokemon of six!
