23:00 you can only get the Original colored Magearna after filling the National dex in Home, so you need to have a Magearna to get that Magearna

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but the Pokeball Plus Mew is one Mew per ball, not per save file, so changes are that when you buy that ball second-hand, then that Mew is gone.

What I love about Pokémon Go is that you can get there legit mythicals on your trainer's OT. Furthermore, by transfering these Pokémon up to Home their trainer OT takes on the one you've given in Home. It's the only way to get for example Meloeta on your own OT.

Thanks so much for your hard work, videos like these need to be updated regularly

Not sure if this has been commented before, but another option for Celebi - since you're already using a 3DS to complete your living dex, if you have pokemon Crystal on the virtual console, you can catch a Celebi in there after you beat the Elite 4.

This was a fantastic guide. My progress has stalled lately since I haven't paid for HOME so tracking my Pokemon has been a pain. Last I left off, I'd finished my third run of ORAS for the Deoxys formes, just one to go! This is brutal even with the quickest routes, hah 😅

Bro I missed out on so many mythicals last year... Genesect, MARSHADOW, Volcanion, and ZERAORA. MARSHADOW AND ZERAORA ARE LITERALLY SOME OF MY FAVORITES. The worst thing about it is that apparently you got a shiny Zeraora from the event... I dissed the news of the three genesect, marshadow, and volcanion because all the videos said it was only in the UK. But in december when I walked into my gamestop, I saw that there was a poster for the mythicals saying they came out in OCTOBER!!! Aghh!!!!

This is actually really, really helpful and good content! keep up the good work :)

Hope your doing well love the content. Can’t wait to watch this on my lunch break. Keep up the great work !

Good work, man. Saved me the time of doing the work myself. Greatly saved the amount of time looking everything up.

I just decided to do my living dex and this is sooooo helpful!

Great stuff man. Appreciate your work!

To complete my dex all it took was Alpha Sapphire, X, Ultra Moon and Sword, (arceus only for enamorus). this did however require some trading for the few exclusives i couldnt catch myself, but a little breeding was all it took to make my own pokemon.

Banger of a video, much appreciated.

I’m about to start my living dex journey! I’ve been away from Pokémon a while, but I’m super excited!

Nice video bro! Thanks for the guide

Once you’re done with this, you can try completing Pokemon Home’s challenges! 😅

I just found this video, but I've actually been working on a living dex for about as long as the video has been out. I'm being quite strict on my ruleset, however, and I realise that it means I won't be completing 100% of the dex for...well, as long as it takes for certain mythicals to show up in events. Luckily, Victini is just around the corner from now. My rules are: - 1 of every pokemon - Every varient and form gets its place outside of the dex list, but must be caught at some point (just to add to the longevity of the challenge and really get to 'catch em all') - Every pokemon must be caught by me under the same trainer name between titles (This makes Alolan Golem a nightmare, as it's the only Trade pokemon that can't be caught in the wild in any game, have to own 2 3DSs and two copies of Gen 7 games) - I have this weird thing about catching only male pokemon, with exceptions to female only species...maybe it's just prefering the blue symbol on the screen, I don't know, but it certainly adds to the challenge on low spawn rate pokemon) - No pokemon from Go, as I simply don't like the sticker it gives them, and it feels like foregoing the challenge somewhat. I like go, but I have a seperate living dex type thing going on there and don't want the two to mix. - On the side, I'm working on a seperate living shiny dex, just to have something to work on into the future I'm currently 186 pokemon away from a full living dex but, by my count and with my rule of being the original trainer, I will be 11-12 pokemon short until I get lucky with events. Happy hunting everyone!

I actually have completed this challenge and even took it a step further by capturing all regional variants. It was fun to get all 1008

Very very helpful video! Thank you

Insanely good video thanks dude

Thanks for this guide/method to complete the living pokedex.

Thank you so much for the video!!!

The only thing I'd change is I'd recommend starting by completing all games + post game, then go from there in SwSh, and branch out from there for the difficult Pokémon. Primarily because they have the largest number of available pokemon and are the better games between them and BDSP.

Thank you for your very effective research. My friend ☺️

This was really good, saved for future use

I’ve been working on a living dex since 2016. Completed it with legends Arceus coming out, and now I’m working on a forme dex. I’m very proud that every single Pokémon in my living dex is 100% legit with my OT except for Zeraora, Marshadow, Volcanion, and Diancie, which I had to hack in because there was no recent events.

Remember for the ones you don't have and you can't get (version exclusives, etc) you can always join a fb group and ask/beg like so many other people do

Great video

Great video. Do you plan on making an updated version for Violet/Scarlet? Wondering if that'll end up knocking any off the list.

loved the video, any chance of a form dex or perfect dex coming at some point?

do need to remember that if you put the furfrou into the lc to transfer to bank in x/y the cut goes away and you get just a base furfrou

Great video! However, there are some mistakes you might want to caption: 1. Unfortunately, you still reencounter the legendaries you've already caught in the SwSh DLC dens. 2. As for Urshifu, I have three words for you: multiple save files! :) 3. Celebi can be caught in the postgame of Crystal VC. 4. Mew is also available in BDSP provided that you have LGPE save data on your Switch.

Hey! I had been working on a live dex before I even knew it was a thing using Pokémon bank & then home. Finally completed it with swsh & legends 🎉 still watched all of this though and found it really interesting. Can’t wait for your video on form & master dex! Any idea when they’ll be up?!

I'm currently making a living form/hidden ability dex. Already completed gen 1, working on 2 rn.

Quick question, does the Bridge Four in your channel name have anything to do with the Stormlight Archive?

It was so easy in Gen VI, I completed most of it just from the GTS, breeding, and Blissey farms

Right now Gamestop is running an event for Genesect and Vocanion, starting Oct 30th Target with have Marshadow (in the US)

They are releasing an event for volcanion genesect and Marshadow this October 14th and October 30th for everyone watching this video now!! In North America it is at GameStop for the first two and target for the later!

I personally used the Let’s Go games to start my living dex. Already had the games and it was just gen 1.

Great for home! I am curious though for precuous gens. Mostly have 4 and 5 figured out but any idea what’s needed for gen 7 living dex? Don’t care for home but tackling a stupid make a full living dex in 4, 5, and 7 good job though

Genesect and volcanion event for north america starting on October 16th and running till the end of the month

Did you ever do the form dex and master dex videos?

I'm still looking forward to part 2, if it's still coming. :)

You can get Celebi on Pokémon crystal virtual console after beating the game

Did you ever end up making the videos for the form dex or master dex?

Zarude is also available in Pokémon Go.

Thx for this! You help all pokemon players. But you forgot the pokemon bank no?

Now this is epic

man the list of pokemon only on the 3ds is so useful

I used to have a complete living dex in ultra sun until two years ago. I wanted to restart sun again so I put the game in my 3ds, skipped the intro and deleted the save file... only to realise that I had the wrong game in my 3ds and just deleted ultra sun with my entire living dex instead of sun. Now my living dex is almost complete again. The only pokemon I couldn't get again is Diancie.

Is it enough if I have the DLC for only one of Shield/Sword? Because I only have Shield with both DLCs at the moment, and would borrow Sword from a friend but without the DLC

Mate please do an updated version including scarlet and violet. You are the best at this without a doubt

What other hairstyles are there for Furfrou in ultra sun and moon? 19:00

I just transferred everything I had to home for the fun of it and my dex is at 660 so I figured I might as well get the rest I am missing

Will you update the Google doc as more games come out???

Nice

Do you have an updated version of this for gen 9 or are you waiting for all the dlc to come out for gen 9 before you make it.

This is one crazy challenge

Think it's worth noting that you can get the gen 5 mythicals with a glitch with mystery gift.

Best guide for semi casuals, thanks

With the release of scarlet and violet, can you make an updated version of this video?

Do we have to wait until March 2023 to transfer 3DS Pokémon to Pokémon Bank to Pokémon home? Looks like you can’t add funds to eshop on 3DS.

You can also get the PokeBall plus mew in sword and shield

Are you sure you can transfer the mew from GO to home? I thought it was locked and couldn't be moved.

we cant transfer anymore right from 3ds games ? since pokemon bank is done?

Honestly I think I'll wait for not needing the 3ds games bc it'll happen eventually...probably

So you need to complete the national dex in one of your games to get Magearna so what games is it cause I did Arceus so is it BD/SP or Sword and Shield?

How do u feel about those ebay listing that say 1-8 complete home dex for sale ? they say legit

To get the pokeball colored mirgina could i link a 3ds game if I have the dex complete or does it have to be a switch game ?

What about let's go eevee and pikachu all gen 1 in the games with in gane trades to get sun moon mons

Hey man are you planning to do a video on getting all the forms ? That’s all I have left and could use some help on some of them

Is it okay if the nintendo 3ds is custom firmware?

can you do this with a homebrew switch?

Dont you need both Ultra Sun AND Ultra Moon because Blacephalon and Stakataka are version exclusives?

Do you need the DLC for both sword and shield?

If you could can you do one of these to shiny hunt in number order I thought let’s go is the best place to start but idk where to go after that

Spinda and nincada

What games do I need to complete a home dex

I have all of it but aceus and bd and sp

When is the cut happening

I will never do this probably because the pokemon home subscription gets under my skin

You forgot Celebi can be catch able in Pokémon crystal on 3ds all need to do is beat game I forgot location hands you over gs ball give to that Pokéball maker guy then go to shrine in forest then you can catch it and you can even shiny hunt for it as wall

Instead of BD/SP can I just use Platinum?

how do i get event pkmns tho since they have to be legit to be in pkmn home this is gonna impossible :(

Try this with origin marks

Looking for diancie to complete living dex For trade i got 243 shinys and 171 legendary to trade

I don't even need this guide. I have a Living Dex with regional forms. But it's kind of fun to listen to someone talking about it.

I got a genesect in a sword dynamax challenge and lost the save file

just want to add this for anyone wondering, the arceus in BDSP can be SHINY. i wouldnt miss that if I was you.

Will regular Sun or Moon work instead of Ultra?

nobody cant denie that this guy looks like Cartman

I can't find part 2

Wouldn’t let’s go pikachu or eevee be better for gen one

This guy is cute

What do people think of having both genders of each pokemon?

You Uploaded This 7 Days Before Me And My Asian Soulmate (Maya) Got Married In Anaheim, California.

Guide to a living dex: Step 1 - Get all the games. Step 2 - Go catch them.

So can u transfer from omega ruby to brillant diamond thats the video we want to see and explain how tho?

not to mention that you can no longer download any new VC games (RBY, Crystal, etc) on your 3DS, so unless you already had bought it prior. Sad because they have not announced any kind of plan to add them to to the switch library and they likely never will. It would be so nice to be able to get ALL of the games on one damn system.
