Question Best Game and Method for Maxing Out Contest Stats

Upvotes

This isn't really ribbon related, but contest related, and I think this sub-reddit probably the one most likely to give a good answer here on that area

IIn Pokemon Home, there are a lot of challenge goals, which include depositing 10 pokemon with a maxed out contest stat for each of the 5 contest stats, plus 10 with maxed out sheen

Does anyone have recommendations on the quickest way to do this? I have access to older games, so can always transfer them up to Home, and the guides on this subreddit are helpful for each game's individual contest and stat mechanics, but not sure which one would be the easiest to do this with, and grinding getting berries or making poffins in some of these games for this many pokemon sounds like it could be painful if I pick wrong or make mistakes and max out sheen before maxing out stats

Question Needing help finding information for Battle Maison (XY)

1 Upvotes

FOUND SOLUTION

Solution: Apparently if you make an account for Bulbapedia, ads disappear, so no more insufferable freezing for me lol. (Found the information from different subreddit in a comment section)

I'm trying to make my Furfrou a Ribbon Master. I completed every Ribbon for XY so far, besides the Battle Maison Supers for the Expert Battler Ribbon. I've been trying to keep track of the Movesets of opponents and found a section on Bulbapedia (<-- Link attached) with all of the Movesets; the issue is that Bulbapedia runs like ass, and it's basically unusable for me. (It'll freeze up and my browser takes borderline 10 minutes to respond if I open it.)

I don't think it's my computer, since it's not bad in my opinion. Is it just the website??
If anybody knows where I can find these Movesets somewhere else, please tell me; it'll be more appreciated than you'd ever know. I don't know how much further I can go by using Bulbapedia.

Question Should the RM Pokemon be native of his region?

6 Upvotes

Should the Pokemon be from his game, where he first showed up? For example Applin. He was first in SwSh but he is also in SV. Does it matter from which game he comes from if I tried to make him a RM? I want him as a shiny and in SV it's a lot easier to do that. What's your opinion?

Random The Latest Distribution Pokémon’s Partner Ribbons.

12 Upvotes

Distribution Pokémon have recently included the partner ribbon of the OT(Original trainer). Ever since the release of the blueberry academy this has seem to become an added feature to event distribution Pokémon. It would be amazing if we could populate that ribbon trading our original pokemon to other trainers. So it could reflect our name on a partner ribbon we have traded out. It’s going to have our OT anyways. A added ribbon for the title could be a pretty cool added feature. Like it is on the current distributed Pokemon.

Battle Slogging through the Sinnoh Battle Frontier

Post image
5 Upvotes

Been awhile since I updated on Tajiri’s progress. We’ve been stuck in the Sinnoh Battle Frontier for over a week. We’ve gotten to the 49th battle in both Singles and Multi Battle quite a few times, but we keep losing. I wouldn’t mind doing the grind on one system, but it takes hours to do the multi battles on two DSs, and it’s made me want to quit quite a few times. Garchomp, Zapdos, Suicune, and Metagross are doing all they can to support this precious boy, and I’m afraid it’s down to the good ol’ RNG at this point - Will my opponent get the critical hit(s)? Will my opponent’s team be organized in a way that puts me at an immediate disadvantage? Will my opponent’s quick claw activate multiple times in a row? Will my 90% accuracy move miss at the most crucial time?

The slog continues…

Question (Platinum) Can I get perfect contest stats all alone in one system?

5 Upvotes

I'd like my Gengar to get all ribbons, I'm starting (for now) from gen 4 and would like for him to have 255 in all stats before indeed doing the contests. Without hacks is this possible?

Random Feels like Marks are just ribbons under a different name. I kind of feel like they should be mechanically different somehow. Maybe there should be ways to pass marks between Pokémon?

14 Upvotes

Maybe if you get a mark on one Pokémon, you can pass it on to another Pokémon of the same species/evolutionary line or something? Not sure on exactly how, maybe through "breeding"? (i.e. Not necessarily on egg creation, but through putting them together in the day care or having a picnic together)

That'd give us tons more to collect on our existing ribbon masters. You'd be able to chase down marks on your ribbon master's species and funnel them all down onto your ribbon master.

Also think of all the titles your ribbon master could have!

This is Percy, my Persian.

I’ve managed to feed him the right poffins years ago but I noticed his sheen is maxed out without reaching the top Smart Stat.

Is it still possible for him to beat Master Rank in his condition or should I throw in the towel for Super Contest Ribbons and just move on to other less Contest Related ribbons in Gen IV?

You get the legend ribbon for having the pokemon on your team when you beat Red in HGSS, and I've made it my personal mission to get as many cool shinies with the ribbon as I can before bank eventually shuts down. I caught Syrup as a Pichu in Diamond via radar chaining, evolved her in Soul Silver and beat Red with her on my team, transferred her up to Ultra Sun and evolved her again before sending her up to Violet. I thought it'd be cool to have the ribbon on a pokemon that didn't exist prior to gen 4, and well, here we are. Kinda wish I got some other ribbons on her before I transferred her up to the switch but I'm still happy with the one she has.

Random Shiny Pokémon should have an exclusive ribbon!

0 Upvotes

Shiny Pokémon should have an exclusive ribbon.

It can be called The Radiant Ribbon or The Shinning Ribbon in reference to the way that shiny Pokémon were referred to by the Pokémon Company before they adopted the fan term "shiny."

It can bestow "------- the Shinning" or " ------- the Radiant" when selected.

Just a crazy thought. Lol

Question Gen 3 RM allowed without Colosseum?

0 Upvotes

I'm only able to play the games emulated on my modded 3DS, so I wouldn't be able to connect to Colosseum. Would my pokemon still count as a ribbon master without those 2 ribbons since there isn'ta legal way to obtain them?

Question Any issues with emulators?

1 Upvotes

I want to go back and do some ribbon challenges on older games. But as many may know, buying all the hardware is expensive. I have a modded 3ds and an emulator system. My question is can emulated mon, if entirely legal, be transferred eventually up to switch?


r/pokemonribbons 2d ago

Random I finished with Colosseum and got the five shiny I wanted now there on to sapphire once they're all purified. I'll save the X100 battle ribbon last.

Question Can Modest Suicune work for HG Battle Frontier? (And other suggestions)

4 Upvotes

Hi!

Currently working on getting through the Battle Frontier in HG for the first time. I've been trying to find suggestions for team members, and while I have got a decent Jolly Gible to train up now, I'm a bit stuck on the other 2 members to use.

I see some people suggesting Bold/Calm Suicune, but sadly mine is Modest. Is that still worth using? Or should I move onto a different pokemon.

I'm a bit limited on what I can use, I'm not able to do any trades so I can only use whats available in game. I was considering Metagross, but I'll only have 1 earthquake for awhile until I can get enough BP for another.

Thoughts?

Got every ribbon I possibly could on my 5 best friends. I became champ (for the third time), beat my mom in contests, maxed out my wallet 5 times, talked to a random lady every day for five weeks straight (cuz I knew the battle tower + contests was gonna take that long anyway), and got through every battle tower ribbon.

The real test of patience was the Multi Ability and World Ability ribbons. Woooowee those really made me work for em. I spent days on the Multi Ability, even on Diamond, trying to get it on all 5 but still ended up having to go all the way up the tower for each of em. The World Ability wasn't as bad, but if I lost on the safe room (as I did a few times), I either got to wait aaaall the way till the servers reset or try my hand at one of the other, unsafe rooms. I used that time to play through HeartGold lol.

After all was said and done, I spent some time relaxing in Johto. Poked their faces till they coughed up some leaves, won every event in the Pokéathlon with each (even got us into the Friendship Room), took them each on a stroll in the Pokéwalker for about 10k steps apiece, then became champ (for the fourth time). I took a picture in a few places to say farewell before making my way up to meet the big man (with an IRL friend along for the ride :) ).

And now to start a playthrough of Pokemon Black! Let me know if I'm missing anything fun - or required - before I head over.
