can I ask what the research multiplier means? does it multiply the total you get when you submit to the professor or (for example) multiplies by 4 the tasks you do like if you catch a pokemon it counts as 4 instead of 1?
I think the former. But not sure.
I used the encounter code and caught a yellow alpha Kleavor but now whenever I try to go back to Jubilife, when I talk to Laventon the game locks up and crashes. Is there any fix for this?
Yeah restore the backup save you made before you attempted this game breaking stuff. Someone a few pages back had the exact same issue.
