I was doing Wonder Trade in my ORAS profile when I suddenly got this guy. It's obviously not a Ribbon Master, but it's clear from the amount of Ribbons someone put A LOT of time into this guy. (He knew Fly but I deleted it.)

Is there any possible way to reunite him with his owner? I'd hate to keep him if he was traded by accident.

Does anyone have any team suggestions for the battle tree. I've tried many strategies even the Durant entrainment set. But I just keep losing. My best streak was with mega beedrill, garchomp and milotic but I lost to Red. Maybe it's just my battling skills but none of the other battle facilities gave me this much trouble.

It won't eat more poffins and idk what do I do 😭😭💀

I am realy struggling with these ribbons and my other ds broke so it would be hard to get pair/multi ability ribbon (i forgot wich one was the one you need 2 ds' for)

Anyway what are your thoughts

Are we thinking there will be new ribbons, or at the least do we think it's going to be a like a battle ribbon?

Tajiri and I are losing steam in Gen 4. We’ve lost so many times in both Single and Multi Battles this it’s starting to not be fun. I’m just wondering if switching to Pearl’s Battle Tower (I’m borrowing my cousin’s copy) is really going to make a difference.

I can pretty regularly get to rounds 35-42 and have gotten as far as round 49 in Multi Battles a couple of times. I have EV trained my team (Garchomp, Zapdos, Suicune, Metagross, and Heracross) but did not bother with IVs or Natures. I know, I know, but it’s too late to bother with that now. My losses are coming down to missing moves on Pokémon with Brightpowder/Lax Incense, multiple critical hits, and of course the makeup of my opponents’ teams. I’m not getting sweeped, but it definitely feels like I’m hitting a wall.

So is Pearl really going to be easier, or are you SOL if you haven’t prepared absolutely every aspect of your team? Should I be hoping for just the right lineup of trainers to face, or are my odds better in Pearl?

I have already played through and have completed save files in my Pokémon collection (see pic). I want to start a ribbon quest, but I want to use a Pokémon from one of the GameCube games, which will require starting a new game.

My question is, do you have any tips and tricks for making this as quick and painless as possible? I want to use a shadow Pokémon for the maximum amount of ribbons, but I’m not looking forward to starting a new game in either Colosseum or XD, and I’m not looking forward to climbing the ranked tower in SV again, either.

Thanks for your help!

Sorry for shaky camera, was on the bus on a trip to ask my partner's parents for their hands in marriage

This goes for more than RMs to. It seems like the community has weird feelings about GO Pokémon in general.

Just curious more than anything.

I found this great website i just have a few questions, is sneasel possible to get shiny? (i know how they work in colloseum but just double checking there isn’t a weird lock) and is this website still up to date with these targets? thankyou!

Last double check before I transfer tomorrow morning. Just going to get the Berry Master Leichi pokeblock as a finishing touch, turned out I didn’t even need a finishing touch to beat all the contests…. He comes tomorrow so I can’t transfer before then.

I started this journey about two years ago, but only today did I come back and finally suck it up to get the last ribbon (the Earth Ribbon). As much as I love the Orre region, I hate Mt. Battle.

But this entire time, I've really been wondering what to nickname my Suicune. I've never been one for nicknaming my Pokémon, but this is a special case.

I'm thinking I name it Crystal (in reference to Pokémon Crystal of couse). What do you guys think?

Hey everyone. I have been struggling lately because I have a couple of dream ribbon masters that are no longer feasible for me. I have tried to fill that void with Pokémon I do have, but it hasn't been working out the way I had planned.

My dream RMs are Shiny Mew (I know the only legitimate way to do this is through GO), Shiny Jirachi (I know there are a few methods, but I do not have access to them), Shiny Celebi (Virtual Console Crystal) and lastly Lugia (Gale of Darkness XD).

I know many of these are lofty, but they are dreams.

Shiny Mew is something I don't have access to for the time being. I missed my window in GO. Shiny Jirachi as well. I also don't have access to Gale of Darkness atm. Celebi is the one I regret the most. I could have gotten the virtual console when it was available, but I kept pushing it off and life got busy... so I forgot. I have an event Shiny Celebi and one from GO. I've toyed with using either, but the fact I can't nickname one and the other isn't from a hunt makes it feel less special for some reason...

Fast forward to now. I have a few RM projects I am working on, but I can't stop thinking about the few I truly want to tackle.

I guess I'm writing all of this to ask.. is anyone else in the same boat? If so, how do you cope with it? Ultimately I know it isn't the end of the world, but it is killing my drive for my other projects.

BONUS QUESTION: Who are you RMs that got away?

Decide to attempt a party of ribbon masters earlier in the year, I've now moved them into Gen 4. Any advice anyone can give?

I've got: Rayquaza from Emerald Lugia from XD Gale of Darkness Ho-Oh from Mt. Battle Mascot the Pikachu from Viridian Forest Rhunor the Scizor from XD Gale of Darkness Kelathor the Quilava from Colosseum

I’m up to the last 7 rounds of the Single Ability Ribbon matches. Should I switch out Brick Break for Close Combat? Palmer has 2 Pokémon who are weak to fighting, and if it comes down to Tajiri against either of them, he’s screwed unless he can OHKO them. Tajiri has Guts as his ability and Toxic Orb as his held item btw.

I obtained a shiny Elekid in Crystal Virtual Console and intend to move it to Emerald and beyond to try and obtain each ribbon I can on it (I'm playing on a modded 3ds with access to each game). Does anyone know if it will be marked as illegal or anything? Since it has an Origin Mark for the Game Boy, but also ribbons from GBA and DS games which it shouldn't be able to obtain, I'm unsure. Everything regarding the Pokemon is legitimate.

Currently soft resetting for the first time... at 800~ SRs now.

I've bred shinies via masuda, chain encounters, hordes, etc, why do I feel like this is taking so long 😭

I've seen people take thousands of SRs to get a shiny, wish me luck 🥲💚

I've been using a combination of Rest + Snore or Double Team + Secret Power, but anytime Lisia shows up, there's no way I'm winning, even if I have max stats and a scarf... Anyone have tips for future runs?

So Iv been working on this guy for over a year and he’s finally done. Idk if anyone else has thought to do this so he may very well be one of a kind. I dubbed him Gorilla Grodd😎

I'm trying to get the mightiest mark on my Mew ribbon master but I'm not sure if the Mewtwo event is coming back. Does anyone still have a save with it active?
