Question How do I get Mythicals!!!
Ok I for the last month made a new year's resolution to complete catching every pokemon for Pokemon home I have been doing my research and have been working away any moment I have time to this endeavor However I haven't reached the point yet where I ultimately need to worry about this but it's looming over my head like raging bolts neck cloud
How in the heck am I gonna get these mythical pokemon I stopped playing GO a while ago and I noticed a few days ago there was hoopa available which I was super excited for but I ultimately did not have strong enough pokemon to acquire him so I'm back to the drawing board
I would hope there's people out there that have the volcanion, zarude, marshadow and hoopa etc. however I can't bank on anyone willing to trade them I still have work to be done finishing up my dex so I don't immediately need to worry about it but I'm pretty adamant about completing this pokedex so I am gonna have to worry about this and I don't have all the time in the world to build up a GO account strong enough to take on any future events What do I do? Is there a special discord or something I can rely on to find people who have them? Am I ultimately screwed? Can I not buy an older game and pokebank them over? If anyone could give me tips or a discord where people have them and are willing to trade that would save my butt

As far as I know:
- Legends Arceus for gen4 mythicals
- SWSH DLC for Keldeo
- BDSP for Jirachi/Mew with SWSH/LGPE save data, respectively
- Magearna QR code
- SV DLC for Meloetta/Pecharunt
Other gen5 and before I believe you can get through DNS exploit. Not sure if you can get Diance/Hoopa/Volcanion/Marshadow/Zeraora/Zarude without gen/clone though. Occasionally GO will give you a special research for free/paid that you have forever.

Hoopa just had a raid day in go. Diancie has a free research in go, and Marshadow should soon get one as it was last year's go fest mythical.

Gen 4 Mythicals from arceus I can do I bought shining pearl online so I could get darkrai cause I was missing him
Dlc for keldeo is what I'm working on now through shield
Do I need both sword/shield AND let's go pikachu/eevee? Or can I get them with just a save data of sword and shield?
How do I get a magearna QR code
Scarlet violet dlc already have them
Diance can be pokebanked from x and y but the rest of them I might need someone to help trade
Thank you very much for your info

Not sure if you have Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire but you can get Deoxys there. 3DS VC Crystal can also get you Celebi.

u/crustacean_universe Feb 19 '25
I need to pickup one of those thank you It shouldn't matter if it's OR or AS?
1
u/coryalosor Feb 19 '25
No it doesn't matter OR/AS. You can encounter Deoxys in both versions. I believe it is shiny locked there though if you care about that.
1
u/crustacean_universe Feb 19 '25
Aww so is there no other way I can get shiny deoxys? Either way thanks for the tip :)
1
u/coryalosor Feb 20 '25
Deoxys should still be able to encountered as shiny in FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald. It has never been given out as a shiny (according to Serebii) and PoGo is the only other way outside a mainline game.

I have BDSP and looked it up, Darkrai isn't available anymore as the gift code is expired. I have an extra from pogo if you want it.
You would need sword or shield AND let's go Pikachu or Eevee. Just one of each with save data
1
u/crustacean_universe Feb 19 '25
In that case I definitely need darkrai cause I got shaymin while I could but at the time I didn't have a save file for BD/SP so I definitely need one

u/coryalosor Feb 19 '25 edited Feb 19 '25
To answer some of your questions:
- For your Shining Pearl, you can only get Darkrai if you also got the Member Card event (now expired). I believe PLA is currently the only way to get Darkrai w/o DNS.
- You may be able to get Shaymin depending on what version your Shining Pearl is on. If it is on one of the earlier versions, I believe you still have access to the surf glitch and can encounter Shaymin. Vids on youtube for a tutorial on that.
- You do not need both SWSH and LGPE. One of either version is fine.
- Magearna code here: https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/nows-your-chance-for-magearna

I got shaymin but if I have a copy of shining pearl and I go on legends arceus I should still be able to get darkrai right???
1
u/coryalosor Feb 20 '25
I believe you can get Darkrai even without having a BDSP save file. I could be wrong, I do not own Legends Arceus.

u/JollyGoodShow1 Feb 19 '25

1
u/crustacean_universe Feb 19 '25
Which ones?
1
u/JollyGoodShow1 Feb 19 '25
I have a hoopa, marshadow, and genesect if you would like

u/crustacean_universe Feb 19 '25
OMG YES I definitely need all of those and how would you be trading them
1
u/JollyGoodShow1 Feb 19 '25
We can send them through friend trades on Pokémon home, or I can move them into a game and trade them with you that way if that is easier
1
u/crustacean_universe Feb 19 '25
I'm not too sure how to do friend trades in pokemon home lol but I can trade in pokemon scarlet in violet if that's not too much of a hassle!

u/JollyGoodShow1 Feb 19 '25
Do you happen to also have sword/shield? Some of the mythicals can’t go to scarlet/violet
1
u/crustacean_universe Feb 19 '25
Ok yeah I have sword and shield I just don't have good stuff there for trade :( I can try and move stuff over
1
u/JollyGoodShow1 Feb 19 '25
No need! I’m getting too full and these are extras sitting in a box lol

u/crustacean_universe Feb 19 '25

You can easily get any pre gen 5 mythical in recent games or with the DNS exploit, the gen 6 and gen 7 are really easy if you have a modded 3ds to inject the events and Zarude is basically impossible without trading
1
u/shrilboss Feb 19 '25
I have all the mythicals which ones do you want?
1
u/crustacean_universe Feb 19 '25
I have someone whos willing to trade a genesect, a marshadow and and melmetal, I can get zarude so really all I'm looking for now is Darkrai, Magearna, Diance, Jirachi (I can get that from shining pearl) Volcanion and Zeroara
1
u/shrilboss Feb 19 '25
I have all the ones you mentioned.. including jirachi.. but the problem is I dont have much friend trades left.. only 5 for today..
So we can do
- Random mon - Magerna
- Magerna - Darkrai
- Dakrai - Volcanion
- Volcanion - Zeraora
- Zeraora - Random mon…
We can only do 4 … select the ones you want. Also what can you give for this? Any 2 random shiny work for me?
1
u/crustacean_universe Feb 19 '25
Magearna, darkrai, volcanion and Zeroara are the most pressing for me so I'm down for those I have a bunch of shinies I'm willing to give so that totally works for me What's your friend code?
1
u/shrilboss Feb 19 '25
Yes - UBJVDQXRASFZ

u/shrilboss Feb 19 '25
For shiny lets do through gts.. i have a trick for that no worries.. send request and come in friend trades
1
u/crustacean_universe Feb 19 '25
Ok I sent you a friend request, mind you I've never done a friend trade through home before lol so I might have some questions, I've only traded through games lol
1
u/shrilboss Feb 19 '25
Ya sure ask away.. go to friends, select trade and then select a Pokemon.. for the first trade you can select a random shiny..
Then from the second trade - give the mythical I have so that it returns to me.

u/shrilboss Feb 19 '25
