i'm like 90% sure inherited stats are absolutely random unless a parent holds destiny knot/power item

Midday lycanroc properly EV trained should be nuking her entire team with Rock Slide afaik. Trick room is a great help here and iirc you can catch Bronzong just outside calcenon which with heatproof should be able to take a hit or 2 and set up trick room, amplified rock boosting it to 8 turns is great too. After that just throw slow heavy hitters like Rhydon at her. Alternatively Walrein. You can by that point catch Spheal in ametrine mountain I think. and with thick fat, blizzard and surf it can damn near solo her.

First Impression go brrr

Platinum had a battle frontier with 5 facilities including the tower so yes, it did postgame better.

Dusk. only loses a few speed points over midday while having more bulk and still having its signature accelrock.

First, you dont need 2 steel types and Steelix just isnt good. I'd swap it for another rock or ground type like Lycanroc, Garchomp or Rhyperior. Rest of the team is alright gren and metagross are pretty solid. I'd say Metagross wants bullet punch over bulldoze and maybe hammer arm over brick break. Lastly i'd put Wish on umbreon if you can over Moonlight. if you add protect too, or just predict well. It heals the same amount but 1. isnt affected by weather and 2. can switch out to heal a weakened ally.

Monotype from my experience starts difficult if you haven't played the game too many times. But after a few playthroughs becomes much more manageable as you remember upcoming major battles and prepare items and movesets accordingly. For example from my personal experience. Storm Drain Cradily for Amaria in Rock Mono

Here's a plan 1. Mega Aerodactyl 2. There is no 2

Me who's only complete save file on my new computer is a Rock Monotype run: Seriously though, a box full of rock bois and a fairly balanced team of Tyrantrum, Mega Aerodactyl, Tyranitar, Kabutops, Lycanroc-Dusk and A-Golem should do well. I've got plenty of others waiting too.

EV items and berries are both available on different floors of the dept store, if you didn't pick them up then sorry you're SoL on that front for a bit, you can get some decent ATK EVs on route 2 just outside the circus and the riolu event in ametrine lets you get Lucario which along with a good electric type and maybe a water type should be able to beat him. for level grinding, clown indra in the circus works great, he has random teams of 3 which give good exp and you get a free shard every battle, stockpiling those for 7th street mons and move tutors later is great.

you can still get it. residual energy is the explanation

i mean. if it has to be 4x weaknesses or nothing then thats a bit stupid. but if its just type weakness in general it's much more doable. Julia gets bodied by goldeen, from pulling an ice-mono run i can tell you beating charlotte and tania is pretty simple in concept (not so much excecution) however fighting Samson with no jynx, tania with no lapras and charlotte with no walrein might be a bit tougher. So it's probably possible

There's a point where everything is EV trained. until then its usually just their ace.

as far as i know, its not available yet. other choice items can be obtained but not scarf yet...technically There is a bug/glitch/feature where you can use thief, fling and recycle to keep the item you stole after the battle. Clown Indra in Agate circus (guy that gives you infinite battles and shards for winning) has different teams with varied hold items, some teams (look it up) will have a scarfed mon. Something like the elemental monkeys (simisear/sage/pour) can learn all 3 required moves.

yeah thats basically how i did it, discharge + eq

I did it with rotom-frost and mamoswine. Anything with discharge and good speed/spa (or bulk in the case of ampharos) does the job

Empoleon: Deceptively fast, hits like a truck, learns brine by level to secure those tricky KOs and torrent is highly underrated. Bonus for only having 3 weaknesses (1 of which is ground so yeah) Cryogonal: if you can get this thing early (egg) its insane for that point in the game with ridiculous Special Def, access to freeze dry and aurora veil and fast to boot. Rotom Formes: the point you get Rotom is where it starts to become useful. it can carry you through Amaria and the Glass Factory stupidly easily. levitate is fantastic and discharge is a fantastic doubles move no matter which form you use. I had frost in my Ice-mono and with choice specs and mamoswine it tore through the glass factory almost single handedly.

why do you have 3 water types? good god. I mean water is a great type, arguably the best. but 3 is overkill. I'd swap sharpedo for something. maybe a screen setter like meowstic or klefki. if i were you, i'd hinge on Ampharos. if you teach it Discharge, coupled with the mega evo and factory field it can decimate the enemy teams as long as you pair it with a ground type (or otherwise electric immune mon). Try trick room if it's a bit slow.

No they're right its crystal cave. At least last time i checked it was. Cryogonal was able to use aurora veil with no hail up and i'm pretty sure Crystal Cave is one of the few fields that enables that.

Its hailing during the fight and it has Slush Rush which doubles speed. There's your answer.

The fact that its an annoying trope because of age just makes us want to strangle the kid even more.

Even with counter/mirror coat theres a chance it still hits too hard. I beat it in my ice mono with mirror coat but only after setting aurora veil. As others have said neutralizing judgement is your best bet.

Theres a dark area you can unlock by train track changing (i think). if you went there pre-restoration there was a girl's boyfriend there for a dept store sticker. if you walk towards a rock smash rock and Absol appears, you're in the right place.

Tania, she's been hurt. She's done the hurting. She cares and doesn't care. She's the most human character i've seen. most of everyone else is either Hyper or Depressed. Tania, Amaria and Adrienn are the only ones i see as realistic and incredibly well written. Nothing against the other characters

grand hall vendor is only after restoration. And i was unaware other ice-cream types were on the pickup table.
