I just realized that all I have to do to get numbers 152 through
251 in my Pokédex is to let one of my Swinubs evolve and wait for
my Ho-Oh egg to hatch. Will I get the Pokédex reward for Johto
after that, or do I have to complete Kanto first? It’s just the
numbers that you need, right?
Each dex completion is independent from the others so you don't
need to have the previous dex completed to get the reward for
completing one. So, after your swinub evolves and your Ho-Oh
hatches, you should get the Johto dex completion provided that you
own each pokemon for Johto at that moment.
(Additionally, dex completions won't be revoked after getting them
if you trade one of your pokemon away or one evolves.)
That’s great! I just want to make sure that all you need is the
numbers because, you know, I don’t have all of the different Unown
forms. You only need one Unown to complete the Pokédex in the
games, but I was afraid it wouldn’t be the same here.
I am also wondering if having an event version of a Pokémon counts.
For example, would Seatran count for Heatran, since it has the same
Pokédex number?
Shadow Pokemon does count towards the PokeDex completion,
not just Shadow Dex only
In PokeDex tab, there's no separate category for Shadow Pokemon
like Emera Pokemon (aka Event Pokemon), and it counts as if you've
already owned its normal counterpart, like Shiny Pokemon
You need all Rotom forms in order to complete Sinnoh Dex
(Except Emera-exclusive ones like Drill Rotom, Monitor Rotom,
PokeDex Rotom, etc..
Basically you only need Heat, Wash, Mow, Fan and Fridge ones)
Okay, thank you for telling me. Now I’m wondering if you need to
have the Primal forms of Groudon and Kyogre and the Black and White
forms of Kyurem to get the Hoenn and Unova Dexes completed.
I actually have both Groudon and Kyogre and both the Red Orb and
the Blue Orb, but I only have one of each. Do I need to get another
Groudon and another Kyogre to be able to have one pair holding the
orbs to complete the Hoenn Dex? And I have one Kyurem and both
Reshiram and Zekrom, but do I need to get two more Kyurems and the
Black and White DNA splicers for them to hold?
I’m guessing that all of the Vivillon forms except for the Pride
Vivillon are needed for the Kalos Dex. It’ll probably be really
hard to find the Poké Ball and Fancy forms, though (not least of
all because I can’t hunt for them myself because I can only use my
phone, not a PC). And I’m also guessing that all of the Zygarde
forms are required. And probably all of the Deoxys forms for Hoenn,
too, right?
Wait a minute, I just realized that the alternate Zygarde forms
didn’t exist until the Alola games. And I think two of them are
Emera-exclusive. So now I’m questioning which Zygarde forms are
required for which Pokédex completions.
1) Groudon and Kyogre in Primal forms (aka holding Orbs) aren't
needed in order to complete Hoenn Dex
However, White and Black Kyurem are needed to complete Unova
Dex
2) Pride, Poké Ball and Fancy Vivillon aren't needed as they're
Event-exclusive mon
All Zygarde forms are required, including 100% to finish Kalos
Dex
And you don't need Deoxys, as it is obtained after you
finish Hoenn Dex
Oh, yeah, I forgot that Deoxys is the reward for Hoenn. Oops. And
I’m glad to hear that Poké Ball and Fancy aren’t required, and
REALLY glad to hear that I don’t have to get another Groudon and
another Kyogre. I’m surprised to hear that all of the Zygarde forms
are required, though, because the Zygarde Core and the Zygarde Cell
forms aren’t Pokémon in the games at all, they’re Emera-only, so I
was thinking that only the 10%, 50%, and 100% Zygarde forms would
be required (which I already have, except for the 10% one).
A good way to check what counts for dex completion is to check the
pokedex for the region you're trying to complete.You
just gotta fill in all those question marks (aside from the dex
completion reward pokemon).
Which is why I'm a bit confused by the claim that the Pokeball and
Fancy Vivillons don't count for dex completion as they're listed
under Kalos in the dex. (While the Pride Vivillon is definitely an
Emera (event) pokemon and not needed for Kalos completion.)
Ahh that was a horrible mistake of mine to say that Poké Ball and
Fancy Vivillon aren't needed for Kalos Dex. I didn't notice that
while scrolling through my PokeDex
I apologize for spreading this misinformation :'c
Coming back to this post because my Johto Dex is full, 127/127, but
I’m not getting any reward... I thought I’d probably get the reward
from the Lab, but there’s nothing there about it... Please tell me
what I’m supposed to do, or if it’s glitching how to fix it.
Edit: Never mind, there was just a delay, I guess. I waited for
quite a while and refreshed the page many times and it’s finally
popped up.
