Armanz

I somehow beat her, so this is solved Well I managed it to get until Terra without help but now I need some. I can't get past the Garchomp. It destroys everything with Draco Meteors and even after using 2-3 of them its damage output is unreal, I don't even know how that is possible . Basically I beat her team without many casualties. I have a full life Torterra, Barbaracle & Arcanine (except for Stealth Rock damage) and an almost dead Eelektross (which I can heal but it still gets 2hit :/) against the Garchomp and I can't manage to beat it. I guess my last strategy that has a chance of working is reviving my Noivern to Tailwind and try to kill it by having my mons moving before it but the physical/special split is hurting me pretty good here. Nvm: cant setup tailwind since chomp is faster Edit 1: Torterra, Adamant: Eearthquake, woodhammer, crunch, synthesis Noivern, Modest: Hurricane, dragonpulse, flamethrower, tailwind Eelektross, Quiet: Discharge, Flamethrower, grass knot, crunch Arcanine, Rash: flamethrower, close combat, crunch, extreme speed Scrafty, Careful: high jump kick, crunch, ice punch, head charge Barbaracle, Jolly: Stone edge, that water shell signature move, cross chop, surf all lvl 67-69 all have okay to good IVs and EVs are close to the max for most of them. no ideal spreads, mostly balanced around all stats, albeit trying to avoid useless EVs. I got a couple TMs but nothing that'd help aagainst chomps except for Swagger. I will likely give that to Swagpants McScraftystein and see where life takes me. Edit 2: After using Draco Meteor twice already the garchomp brings my Careful 24/23 IV 84/100 EV on HP/Sp Def Scrafty with 1 X Special unto 10 HP using Draco Meteor with no crit. Fun times. Also, because of the split my only Ice move does nothing to chomp, barbaracle also does nothing because water is special. Noivern dragonpulse only hits for neutral damage. Tried it so many times and even after getting very lucky (killing Nidoking with Noivern without taking damage while Terra used 1 Potion & killing Excadrill with no damage because she used swords dance, killing Quagsire with Eelektross, losing him in turn & killing Hippo & sandcastle with torterra which then died to chomps. even after chomp missed his stone edge on noivern dragonpulse did 15%. scrafty surviving with the said 10 hp doing 20% with ice punch. everything I do to it is chip damage. I'll probably stack up everybody with Gems and my 1 Focus Sash and see if that leads me somewhere but I don't see me winning this even with Blizzards & stone edges missing from the opponent maybe I'll get lucky with using Swagger. after that I'll likely just grind until everyones 74/75, pray to lord arceus (or ditto, whichever it is). rinse & repeat with gems & focus sash. except if somebody has an idea that I overlooked of course. I do have a couple caught mons but I don't do that rotation stuff, only got the main team. if everything else fails I have a lvl ~53 jynx that i could train up to use blizzard on Jaws, but I'd rather put the energy and exp into my real team. (had to ditch her from my team for scrafty after learning that confusion will be her strongest psychic move </3)

If you are the type of person that, when depressed wants to indulge in depressive music, I can provide a lot of music. If you like to listen to cheerful or uplifting songs and want to avoid sad music because it makes it worse for you, then ignore this post and don't click on the links.

It didn't occur to me that the castle could still be open, in that case the way back isn't that long and mostly remedies the entire situation. Also, at the moment of realizing there wasn't a pc, the way back felt way longer in that exact moment, than it turned out to be, due to the puzzles that had to be solved on the way to the gym. Fight was a cakewalk anyways, so no hard feelings here. It's still an odd choice, though, but the castle nearby solves the thing mostly. Thanks for the replies, folks.

Well, I like the shiny part of Glaceon but I hate how Glaceon itself looks. No colour will change that for me. Same with Umbreon.

Well I personally prefer Espeon & Vaporeon lookswise to the rest. Leafeon, Glaceon & Umbreon are no-gos for me. Jolteon & Flareon are nice. So if I compare looks *and* usefulness I would pick Espeon.

Well at a later stage of the game you can change the nature...but if you have trouble deciding, maybe pick the one that suits it's nature and IVs best.

Yes, but TMs are rare and useful TMs are even rarer. I have 10 badges and 1 useful TM for 1 of my Pokémon and that Pokémon cannot learn any HM except for Cut. Again, I can still go to the Move Relearner, but that takes time and Heart Scales.

To be honest, HMs make the game more annoying but not harder. You *can* just go back, do the gym with 1 Pokemon having 1 attack less (because it has Rock Smash) and then let it relearn its attack again.

The title of the thread is pretty self-explanatory. Every gym so far that was outside of the city area had a healing machine and a pc. Luna's doesn't have that (edit: she has healing but no pc). Since getting to her requires Rock Smash I am forced to battle her with 5 Pokémon only or go all the way back to the city, switch my HM slave for my 6th Pokémon, teach it Rock Smash (and later waste a Heartscale to get the appropriate move back) and then go all the way to Luna again. I find that a tad inconvenient. Is there maybe a specific reason for not including a pc that I'm just overlooking?

I started playing the game a couple days ago and ever since I did so, I managed to get to the last of the 5 stages of grief fairly quickly. Acceptance. I accepted that the game hates me, I accepted that, due to the fact that I am still playing the game, I hate myself as well and that Amethyst, since she to my knowledge created the game, hates me as well. The game itself is hard enough as it is but no, I just had to pick Noibat & Tynamo as my second and third pokémon, unaware of their late evolutions. Jesus Christ, I have suffered a lot. Oh how I have suffered. I've had dreams, bad dreams. Dreams of the third Delta Tangrowth battle. Nightmares some would call them, but those have not battled Shelly yet. They do not know what a real nightmare is. This game...it has changed me. Was I born a failure or did I just grow up to be one? Truly, I do not know. All I know is that I am a disciple of suffering, a student of pain. So I call to Ilmater and pray that he may have mercy on my poor, shattered soul, my fractured body and my defunct will. This game is a 10/10 and better than any other fanmade or official Pokémon game I've ever played, despite the fact that I am so empty now, so void, that I dream of electrical sheep. My name is Armands and I am a reborn. Thank you, Amethyst, but also: WHY?
