When you battle a Pokemon , it can call for help summoning a second Pokemon . That ' s the SOS part . SOS chaining is the new way to hunt shinies . You keep the first mon you see , wait for it to call for help , and kill that second mon over and over until a shiny one eventually appears . Using an adrenaline orb increases the rate at which Pokemon call for help . Also Pokemonn are more likely to call for help if they are at half HP or below . SOS Pokemon are also more likely to have perfect IVs and can vary rarely have the hidden ability too . <| sep |> They must have had information on the DNC and Soros . <| sep |> Imo yes . Lynia was a weak spot in my midline as well . Whenever they got to my backline 910 it was because they got trough Lynia . And that was in a 4 man mid . Now my Midline is Cynthia Freyja Bell and it works out very good . It allows me to have a 4 man front while still having a tanky mid . Cynthia helps out my frontline , but I ' m considering maybe replacing her with Edward just to have more spirit . I would be sad to get rid of Cynthia though since she hits like a truck and gives that global slow . tldr Lynia is a weak point and her great totem isn ' t worth it if they beat your mid anyway trough her .
