Forum Thread

Perhaps it would be good to have a table/history of all previous event Paldean Researches on the Paldea Research wiki page?

You mean with the exact dates and which Paradox were obtainable in those specific months??

If yes => done :D

Title: Hello

Hello please can you fix this bug i clicked on a blue ditto in Rowan's lab and I got a message of hehehe when asked about this to my friend he told that you should get a shiny ditto plushie but I didn't got anything can you please help me

---

Hi :)
Sorry but the Wiki-Staff can't fix anything on site. We can just change articles in the Wiki!

As for this being a bug, it is not as far as I know. Sometimes you get the "Hihihi" message and not a plushie, sometimes you the the message with a plushie and sometimes you click the shiny Ditto and nothing happens.
The thing you describe happened to me also a lot of times ^-^''
If you would still like to report it, you can do so Bug Reports - Forum (which I saw you already did, perfect). :D

Hi there, time for another report on spelling mistakes.

This one is about the Kubfu article.

Quote

Kubfu is a Legendary Pokémon (missing link) that was the special reward during the Advent Calendar Event 2022 (missing link).
You were able to receive this Legendary by opening at least 20 doors. If you were able to open all 24 doors, you would receive one of the items used to evolve it as well.

Kubfu had a comeback in an Event Distribution (missing link) from January 1st to 18th, 2024. Since then, its evolution items can rarely be found by the Galar Area.

Slight error on the wiki page for the daycare (near the bottom of the page):

Quote

Breeding Eclipseon will give you two different Event eggs: Selunar and Solastra.

The egg sprites are not identical, so it is easy to identify them easily after adopting.

However, if we check the Pokedex, Eclipseon's egg group is Undiscovered. This is also correctly listed on the wiki page for Eclipseon, that it cannot breed.

the event database page hasnt been updated since last year

The Paldea Research wiki page states:

Quote

You were only able to help with this advanced research if you finished both "Paldea Research" tasks

This not true (anymore?)
I have only finished the Koraidon path and I can take part in the advanced research albeit only the one for Slither Wing.

(I think double posting is okay in this thread, right? Sorry for pointing out so many things, it's just that I use the wiki a lot and I would like to help keep the information on there as up to date as possible.)

1. Missing information in Trainerlevel:
The following information should be added and the corresponding wiki article should be linked as well:

Quote

At Trainerlevel ?? (confirmation needed, you unlock the Paldea Research Part 1: You can choose either the Path of Nostalgia or the Path of Anticipation.
At Trainerlevel 50, you unlock the Paldea Research Part 2: You can choose whichever Path you didn't choose the first time.
At Trainerlevel 35, you unlock the Paradox Research.

I would also appreciate if information would be added after the line "The daily rewards are increased for each five levels you gain":

Quote

The daily rewards are increased for each five levels you gain. However, nugget rewards do not increase beyond 5 nuggets.

2. Typos in Paldea Research:
The Research Tasks were are similar to the onces ones before - see list above.
Once you finished at least one task you are able to cancle cancel the research quest and choose again.
The Paradox rewards had have a 10% chance to be shiny.

3. Typo in Magearna:
Magearna is a Legendary Pokémon which can be won as a voucher in Magearna's Raffle.

4. Game Center:
Wouldn't it be helpful to add links to the individual Magearna's pages or even all the sprites?

5. Misleading information in Minior:
The information about breeding Minior on the wiki makes it seem as if you could breed any Minior (core) color by breeding a random Minior (Core) with Ditto, even though in fact, Blue Core only produces Minior (Meteor) and Minior (Blue core) eggs and so on (at least from my experience).

Quote

Breeding any color of Minior (Core) with a Ditto will result in majority of offspring being that of Minior (Meteor), but there's a slight chance of the offspring being a random the same Minior (Core) color as the parent.

I've corrected the mistakes listed (:

I didn't change the past tense to the present tense, because it's about the end. I'll try to be more on top of changing the tense quicker when the new Paradox Research starts.

I also haven't changed the Minior-page, because several feeds have actually mentioned getting a different colour than the one being bred.

Thank you for your fast reply, CatLady!

Regarding the Minior question: I had a look through the feeds as well and people seem to generally be very confused with the wording of the wiki page. I collected screenshots on this topic here (referring to imgur.com). The only one suggesting that you could get other colors is the one by Kaisa (Spoiler tag because this is a large image):


I have looked into Kaisa's and other users' Minior Cores' family trees and I couldn't find a single one whose parent was a Minior of another color. Every instance of siblings being of another color could be traced back to Ditto being bred with Miniors of different colors to produce offspring in the parent's color.

I cannot prove wrong what the wiki says, but from everything I could gather, it seems rather unlikely you can produce other colors. What I can prove is that the chance to get another color must be even lower than the chance to get an egg of the same color and I think it would still be important to update the wiki accordingly:

+ = (100 %)
+ = (high chance); (low chance); (abysmally low chance???)

I hoped you as wiki staff had a better way to look up the facts but I guess in the end, only the blessed Riako can tell us the truth about this matter...

On the Rumbling page, it states “The longer the time the Pokémon is out, the better the result”
[in the same section as the bolded “How long the mission will last:”]

Could there be some clarification on what exactly “better” means?

Does it mean: more PD, more rumble experience (% discovered), higher chance of finding items, or higher chance of rarer items.

I’m pretty sure the puzzle piece drop rate at the end of a mission is the same, so 5 minute rumbles are “better” in that way.

I’m also pretty sure the chance of finding an item (per minute/second) is the same for any duration. In fact, this means shorter rumbles are “better”, as you don’t reach the cap of 8 items, so you can get more items in the same time.

I also have gotten multiple mystery items (including gold keys), and 2 star pieces from the short periods in which I did 5 minute rumbles [for puzzle pieces and the Brown Sack quest]. So either I was lucky, or duration doesn’t actually affect the items you find.

Someone commented on my feed:
“The difference is mainly seen when it comes to high level rumble areas, because the way it's coded (from what I understood when looking through old bug reports and answers given to users) you literally can't gain rumble EXP on those unless youre sending them out on 12 hour long trips.”
Not sure if “better” refers to that, (as well as there potentially being relatively more % discovered on longer missions).


This is probably only something that can be confirmed by Riako though.

The "Evolving Pokemon" page states:
"Unique Conditions
[...]
Pancham evolves into Pangoro starting at level 32 if there is another Dark-type Pokémon in the user's party.
Mantyke evolves into Mantine if it levels up whilst having a Remoraid in the user's party.
[...]"

"Pancham evolves into Pangoro starting at level 32 if there is another Dark-type Pokémon in the user's party."
should be changed to
"Pancham evolves into Pangoro starting at level 32 if there is a Dark-type Pokémon in the user's party."

"another" implies that Pancham needs to be in the party along with another Dark-type.

Did some testing, and the Pancham doesn't need to be in the Party, only the dark type does. A clarification for this would also be useful. (e.g. "Pancham doesn't need to be in the Party, only the Dark-type does")

Bulbapedia articles state:
"It evolves into Pangoro starting at level 32 while the player has a Dark-type Pokémon in their party."

"It evolves into Mantine when leveled up with a Remoraid in the party."
"with" implies 'alongside' (which makes sense considering the 'symbiotic relationship' part), but I'm not sure how it works on PH. Will test it and edit the post later.

Edit: Mantyke needs to be in the Party (along with a Remoraid) in order to evolve.

"Mantyke evolves into Mantine if it levels up whilst having a Remoraid in the user's party."
should be changed to
"Mantyke evolves into Mantine when levelled up in a user's party that also contains a Remoraid"

This post based on current evolution requirements - still not sure if Pancham evolving in boxes is a bug or not]
