There is a cave just south of Polar Plaza where Torchic, Rotom, Snubbull, Alolan Sandshrew/Vulpix, and Duraludon spawn and if you stand in the entrance, you can get them to spawn while you continue to auto battle. The auto battle gets confused eventually so it's not truly afk, but it's a very good place to farm TM materials for the Item Printer (and Duraludon Tarnish is among the 54% group for the Printer)
I've been using the cave in Eastern Province (Area Three) where the Bagon and Sableye spawn from the wall. Sableye Gems and Bagon Scales are worth 45% each. The gems will be around 74% of the total drops you get.
Normal encounter sandwich (preferably normal encounter 2) and a FAST MOVING fighting type over by the Rucbah base will net you approximately 600 Hapiny dust per sandwich which will equal out to like 40 10-print runs. if we could make a normal encounter and normal item sandwich, chancey farming would be the #1 method for both LP farming and print fodder.
Hey, this is a reupload with new details added that were comments in the last video and they were so good that I decided they needed to be in this video. so this is a reupload. Thank you to everyone who leaves helpful info for readers of the comment section.
I wanna let you know your constant commitment to integrity, information and accuracy is noticed and greatly appreciated Austin. Thank you for doing what you do! Now I have to get back to eating my Macaroni
I made this on the first one but I'll try to condense it for this one. A stretegy for materials: Use a Normal Encounter Power Sandwich near the Fairy Team Star Base to grind for Happiny Dust from wild Chansey and Blissey using Auto Battles. After the sandwich expires, you will most likely have 999 happiny dust. Now go to the item printer and proceed to do 50 prints of 10 items at a time using the Auto Select Function. At the Master Ball Tier this will be 1,500BP worth of prints. The Auto Select Function automatically selects and uses the item you have the most of and since you have 999 Happiny Dust it will use that. This will cost you 750 Happiny Dust at 15 happiny dust per 10 prints. You should now have 249 Happiny Dust (unless you had 250 or more of another material). Now here are the benefits of doing this: 1. Using the Auto Select options makes printing items go faster. 2. Peace of mind, you won't have to worry about dipping into other materials and should always have some leftover for TM's. Hope this helps! Edit: On the off chance AustinJohnPlays sees this, thanks as always for the information!
Yes! If you hadn't commented this, I was going to. I farmed happiny dust to sell for money while also leveling pokemon, so when I first realized that different mats gave different percentages, I knew happiny dust would be perfect for it. I use the Curry sandwich for encounter lvl 2 and farm on the left side of the river (when looking down from the pkm center) I find that blissey spawn more on that side than the right side.
@amikochapman4952 I was curious after you responded to this. I just tried the left side. I could be wrong, but the density of spawns just seems better over there overall
Austin John's the reason I farm EVs up there already - Throwing on a set of Power items to a new team I want to train and getting them a few HP EVs in the process is just so easy with a wave of Chansey/Blissey roaming about. Glad to see Happiny Dust is so good for this!
in the MB tier, I had one where I got a total of 8 ability patches. and doing this, i was able to hit max money countless times from the sellables. such a fun feature added to this game
Surprised he didn't mention: The old EXP method is now also an item lotto method. Travel far north in Paldea to the fairy Team star base, pop a normal type sandwich [even just level 1] and go to town on the spawns as they are almost entirely Chancey. Gives good XP even in autobattle AND can get to 999 happiny Dust in no time. Great way to get some passive XP farming [and no EV if you auto battle] and now free items?
Honestly, just farm any mass outbreak if the drop from the pokemon in the outbreak is 20% or better. I was farming milcery when they were still having several outbreaks at a time in the Terarium. I also got 4 shinies in that process, because I was using the farming sandwich that gave me more item drops.
Why would anymone need XP farming? XP skyrockets so high while doing absolutely nothing. There are Pokémon in my team that I never use muxh because they level so hard when I don't use them and are at the same or higher level than Pokémon I do use.
I just watched the originally un-updated version like half an hour before this version was published. Good little tidbits of info added in the update edits.
To easily farm happiny dust, any normal encounter sandwich in the fairy area at the top of Paldea can easily get you tons of chansey, and chansey gets you more drops compared to happiny, so it's great for farming.
I love how you can get XP candies from this thing. Rather than doing annoying raids I can just run around in the terrarium auto battling, keeping an eye out for shinies, and gathering BP then I can gamble. It's great.
Luxury ball tops everything. It's the best ball in the game because it helps raise friendship and who doesn't want to be friends with their team? People who don't use Luxury balls that's who
8:20 Big Tip If the lid doesn’t immediately open after a print job the bonus is happening Just a visual cue to let you know immediately that you are getting a bonus
Something interesting to note about the printer is that the total items needed to progress to the next stage are cumulative. I printed a bunch of items in the great ball tier on accident (thinking I was progressing to ultra ball tier.) I upgraded my printer after realizing what I was doing and did one more print and I was able to upgrade again immediately to master ball tier!
If you need Pokémon materials, I recommend going behind polar plaza (closer to the wall) and activating a dragon spawn 3 sandwich. Then just autobattle bunch of duraludons and use the duraludon tarnish because it gives a very high percentage for the printer.
If you're playing Scarlet, try activating a Steel Spawn sandwich instead - you won't filter out Beldum, which is one of the "Elite Four" of material value (along with Ditto, Happiny, and Magby.) Violet players should avoid Steel because Sandshrew claws are... not so valuable. Alternately, hanging out in central Savanna is quite good. Besides having two top-tier hunts (Chansey and Magmar), there are plenty of Rhyhorn, Exeggcute, and Trapinch which are also high tier (45-54%).
I was eating macaroni and cheese out of my Sport ball while watching this. Also wanted to bring up that not only was it 1/1,000 odds to get the rare balls in the scamomatic, you had to actually be selective in what you put in! With this, just hit the auto button and go! Also, I think I will do replays and hold off on catching Koridon/Miridon until I can get my hands on Safari balls for them!
Oh...the amount of hours I used to spend grinding for those dang Apricorns just to get a single rare ball. Nothing at all 99% of the time! Sometimes I wanted to stick my hand through my TV screen and choke that freaking machine!!🔥😡🔥
Honestly, I never imagined I'd get this much enjoyment out of a game info channel. They're typically just resources I use as I'm playing a game. But this one really stands out as entertaining, even if I already know all the information in a video. And the shared community of tips in the comments make it even better.
That is so true! I was chatting with the Target cashier who commented on my Electabuzz keychain this summer & he asked me where I got info on how to shiny hunt. I was like "you gotta check out Austin John!". I gave him the channel & next time I was in for junk the guy told me he was back into Pokemon just because of Austin's Arceus videos.
Dunno if you mentioned it but the pokemon drops/items start giving more % the more you raise your rank. You can see that in your video even, venonat fangs at 2:36 at 12% and they are 18% at 11:06
for those who arent aware, in the coastal biome im pretty sure it is you'll find alot of chansey spawning so go ham with auto battles and get your happiny dust, you can even make a sanga increase spawn rate of normal type pokemon. I'm yet to finish the DLC and even get above 1k BP but im getting there so i havent got this machine yet.
Lunala, asleep with 1HP has a 7.06% chance to be caught in a Moon Ball. With the Catching Charm and 400/400 Dex it's 7.582%. "Thus, you have at least a 50% chance of catching it within 9 balls and at least a 95% chance of catching it within 38 balls."
I don't know if you mentioned this, but it looks like not only does upgrade reduce price of BP but also the number of materials needed since their percent value increases.
I apparently missed the original upload because I was asleep (terrible sleep schedule lol), but (and I know I'm not the only one to say this) it's awesome that you reuploaded a video with accurate information this vital. Most people would have a pinned comment explaining everything, and while I think you did in some other cases, this was something that clearly you were passionate about (like me, I love the item printer I'm literally out of TM materials lmao, I'd recommend anyone currently looking to grind it before the delibird event to grind the Milcery out outbreaks) and reuploaded an edited version. This is awesome to me, Awesome John Plays (yes that was an intentional pun, not trying to mis-say your channel name)
Venturing into my Indigo Disk DLC now. Almost completed my Teal Mask Dex and obviously the story was done earlier so looking forward exploring the 2nd part. Awesome stuff man! Thanks for all the info everyone!
I think it got reuploaded because he forgot to mention upgrading it to Master Ball has a chance to get multiples of an item. 😮 By the way, what's the pose you used for the thumbnail and how did you get it?
I actually managed to get a sport ball in SwSh. Used it to catch a Galarian Slowpoke and bred a Galarian and Slowking that I'm now using in a lot of SV raids.
TLTR: thanks for the great vids ! Just wanna say [like many others here] I really appreciate [and very much enjoy] your uploads. I've always loved playing pokemon games but have never gone as deep as meta players. With the newer games like SV where you do harder raids its crucial to have pokemon trained proper which I've never even attempted the majority of my teams are always ones I like and upon inspection almost always have the worst stats, but they're mine and I would never swap em out in game. Your videos on how to use the right items and such to make them actual useful really helps 🥰 And now I don't feel bad going into raids knowing that I'm the reason we likely lost because my trash states mon doesn't pull its weight like it does with your training guidance. Thanks for your very detail well thought out videos keep it up 🥰🥰
some stats: after a 30-minute session with master ball level item printer, 998 delibird parcels and 19 drilbur claws(both worth 54%), 4 'x2 item bonus', 3 'Poke Ball Lotto', & 1605 BP, I sold all the treasure items from bag to pokemart and I got $2,129,400 out of it.
Anyone got any idea if the items put in could determine the output? The cram-o-matic had some fairly helpfully combinations for all the alcreamie sweets including star and ribbon. Or does it truly not matter at all? Also keep up the great work John ❤
Quick word of advice, the auto select can be inefficient at times. I recommend looking over the items used if the amount of BP used goes above 10 or so above the limit, as sometimes the game will just use items that are not necessary to reach the limit, like an extra Venonat fang which can end up costing you in the long run
You mentioned about wanting Happiny Dust. One of my mainstays when it comes to training is back in Paldea. When I want to build up my team for the end of the game/when I start building new teams post game for variety, I always make a beeline to the beach to the north where you encounter Ortega’s fairy type base. One ham sandwich later and you’ll be surrounded with Chanseys and Blisseys, which will not only allow your team to jump ahead in short order (as long as each Pokémon you’re training has a physical attack move), but will give you all the Happiny dust you could ask for. I’m currently at 999, and when I upgrade the printer I’ll be making use of them as resources. Thanks for the video. I’ve started using the Item Printer before, but it’s good to see all the features available.
A wise man once said, "Work lovingly, not hard. Why would you want it to be hard? " I think you do your work lovingly, and it shows. I appreciate all you do for us!
This weekend has a Delibird outbreak event, and Delibird Parcels are in the second highest tier of items for the printer. Time to bully a lot of Delibirds to try and get balls. There’s also Blissey raids alongside the Iron Bundle event, but I don’t remember how much Happiny materials they drop.
DUDE @AustinJhonPlays,The UltraLocke Music at the end HIT ME BRO,I Loved the ultralocke so much and rewatched it so many times, still waiting for that mid release!
I'm glad i watched this guide! After fully upgrading the Item Printer, i triggered the Poke Ball Lotto 3 times and got 6 Level Balls, a Fast Ball, a Moon Ball, as well as a Beast Ball to replace the one i used for Terapagos!
This printer has to be the most fun out of the two crafting methods, Some people complained it's basically gatcha except this one needs farming and it's just a fun past time. And far better than the lotto from previous games. I might spend all my points on this one day just to see how busted it gets. So far I've spent like 3k BP and selling most of the items gave me like 4 million money. They defo made this so we could buy the super expensive clothes from that team star member, and I'm also going to go buy every bit of customization in the game with this just for completion sake.
so a small change of getting multiple master balls seems worth it. Given all the legends that are running around. Also, The metal alloy is a reward for getting blueberry dex to 190 entries. So this machine giving one periodically means that you can get at least three.
One thing to note is that from my experience Duraladon's material is the best to use here It has high value, and making a static encounter in order to farm Duraladon is really easy because it basically spawns almost anywhere at the Polar Biome with a Dragon Encounter sandwich
If you want lots of Happiny Dust, you can eat an Encounter Power Normal x2 sandwich (one of the ones you should have a recipe for without making a custom sandwich) and go down to the cave where Roaring Moon spawns, you can find plenty of Chansey just inside that cave, by the entrance.
Some of the Rarest Items (In My Opinion) I've gotten from Maxed Item Printer - A Few Masterpiece Teapots - At Least 3 Master Balls - Beast Ball - Sport Ball - 2 Friend/Friendship Balls Andddddddd..... Moon Ball Edit: I did more - 3 Golden Bottle Caps - Love Ball - 1 More Beast Ball - Safari Ball - 50 Normal Pokeballs (🤑)
I'm suddenly realizing how much I wish we got this _before_ any of the Mightiest Mark raids. A Mightiest Sport Ball Charizard or a Safari Ball Rillaboom or Decidueye or whatever would have been great.
I'm glad I found your channel because you're fine with re-uploading to change from your mistakes and acknowldging it. Must respect and appreciate your grind man. Also I was EV training with chanseys for HP so that happiny dust was like candy for me when leveling the lotto.
I could be wrong on this, but from what I've experienced with this is that of it glows blue while it's making the items you won't get the double or lotto. But if the machines glows gold while it's making the items you'll get either the lotto or double.
Hi Austin John, so regarding Pokeballs passing down: usually iirc there is a 50/50 chance to pass down the ball from either parent of the same species, different species it is always the female, and with Ditto it is always guaranteed to pass down from the non-Ditto parent. The ONLY 2 Balls to my knowledge that WILL NEVER pass down are the Master and Cherish balls. Every other ball passes down.
Hey austin. I noticed that in your bbq video that you didn't include the lady that rewards you for battling the trainers in each biome. I just finished battling all of the trainers in the terratorium and the final reward is 3200 BP, 12 different tm's and 5 ability patches. I hope you cover that in a future video to spread out the info!
I personally find that the best place to farm items is in the roaring moon cave. Pop a normal type sandwich and you’ll get a lot of Chanseys that give you a lot of happiny dust, which is 68% item. I like doing the roaring moon cave because you don’t need to date skip and mess up your outbreaks. Also if you need some BP just join a union circle with some friends and all your quests will merge and everyone gets the points when someone in the group does a quest.
I'd also bring up, if your shiny hunting via mass outbreaks. When your done with it wipe it out for the materials. It takes like 3 minutes and is an easy way to restock on materials for this
Literally was watching this video to get the details on the poke ball lotto and I got a shiny duduo when I looked down at my game 😂 ty Austin John for the tips and super shiny luck! If I hadn't looked down when I did it would've kept running into the abyss of the despawn!!
You actually don't need an outbreak to easily farm chansey drops. In the savannah biome there is a hill that near constantly spawns a significant number of chansey, essentially all the time. This is great for exp farming, as well as grabbing happini dust. The hill is just south of the flight point close to the divider to the coastal biome. You do not need to eat a sandwich, nor have an outbreak making it very easy to do. Imo this is the best/easiest way to farm drops for the item machine in the game, and with the added benefit that chansey provides a lot of exp if you're looking to level stuff.
Something I want to mention one of the best sources of material for the item printer is duraludon tarnish at 54% you can farm heaps of it with sandwich 45 and level 2 dragon encounter power in most of the snow biome, each duraludon drops 2-3 so it's realy nice
imagine my surprise when i pulled up to this thing with 999 happiny dust because of all the chansey/blissey grinding i did pre-dlc lmao genuinely amazed i had that much without knowing it. im on easy street rn grinding these prints ngl
Man, Austin you rock dude!! Thank you for the stellar content and always grinding so hard to get us the info all about the game that makes our playthroughs even easier. Shoutout to you good sir!
Informative as always, thank you for the great content. I always find myself back here following a Pokemon release to make sure I don't miss anything, and so I thought a good video idea for you would be to list off all the "missable" NPCs that offer rewards, unique experiences, etc. For example, lots of people don't know Snacksworth is there, or Perrin. If you miss them once you might never stumble upon them again. Just some food for thought, cheers.
I love this thing. Im never going to be poor again. I have so many comet shards and i pull big nugs fairly often. And its fun. Im grinding up Delibird Parcels for it now.
Another tip, for just 100BP you can get a meal at the cafetaria with item drop power lvl 2 for all types. You can date-skip to get either a Magby-, Beldum- or Happiny-line outbreak (all 68% in the item printer) in the terrarium and quickly knock them all out with the synchro machine. This will top up your good materials quite fast as well. LVL 2 item drop power is a good idea in general for when you have one of those outbreaks, it's a lot of extra materials when you're clearing the outbreak.
If TPC isn’t paying you, they better keep investing in and inviting you to all the things. Love you, brother. Especially cool you live on my state even if we never meet.
What I would recommend before printing with autoselect is to remove 1 or 2 materials that cause percentages to go above the required level. For instance, if you are printing 5 at a time you need 500%, and suppose you autoselect materials that add up to 514%. In that case, remove one of the materials contributing 14% or 9% to save it for later. You can save 1 or 2 materials every job, which definitely adds up in the long run.
