One criticism I never understood that Reborn got was that the difficulty of the game requires that you breed, train, or reset to get mons with perfect or very good IVs and EVs along with Natures. Coming from someone who has played Reborn twice up to Episode 18, all you really need to do it be a bit more mindful of EVs and IVs than in the mainline games. As long as the desired mon has at least 10 IVs in its dominant stats than it will be fine. Playing the game naturally will also ensure that you will be fine on Evs, and having 252/252/4 is certainly not a requirement. The same thing applies to Natures, as long as you have one that does not completely screw you over like a Relaxed Greninja you will be fine. A lot of Reborn difficulties can be circumvented with strategy and smart play so flat out statics do not matter as much. Most mons will be fine with having a linear stat distribution. A Greninja will be losing nothing by having 0 Defense IVs. The only issue is when you have Jack of all trade mons, or mons that have like 5 good stats. Such as the example below with Mudkip, which will evolve into Swampert which has good stats in everything but speed.

Honestly Luna Team would be easy for Fern. Despite Dark Typing being a phenomenal offensive typing with the Knock Off Buff,Lunas Team is really bulky slow and defensive. I destroyed her with a Flygon by using her Bisharp as Set Up Fodder.
-
This is definitely not the episode that was recorded after beating Noel. They probably recorded a episode of them getting all there encounters that we see in the begging along with fighting Fern on Route 1.

The Point of it being Single Target does help for Double Battles,but at the same time they are not enough double Battles in Reborn for me to say that it is all that helpful. Reborn does have more Double Battles than your average Pokemon game,but it is still predominantly single battle The Example you gave is rather meh:Houndoom is already going to have 3 Move Slots Taken Up. The Only Fairy Sludge Bomb will help against would be Azu and Tapu Fini,one of which you are getting nuked by Huge Power Agua Jet. I would much rather prefer Willow as it is nice tool,and if I hate myself HP Grass or Electric. Poison is really not that good of a Offensive STAB.

Maybe I am just a needles contrarian,but I much would rather take Guaranteed Power over a Chance of something occurring especially in Pokemon. Venasaur,Crobat,Gengar,and Roserade are really the only Pokemon that really benefit from it. Swampert,Goodra,Dragag,Nagandel,etc would much rather run Sludge Wave for more power. Sludge Wave also has the added pro in Reborn of changing several fields
-
One thing I find very baffling about Reborn is that Sludge Bomb is not in the game yet. .The Player as of Episode 18 has been allowed a multitude of more powerful and more useful tms like Flamethrower and Thunderbolt .1/3 through Reborn,The Player gets Sludge Wave through Aya,which is more powerful than Sludge Bomb .Most Pokemon prefer Sludge Wave due to the increase in power .This hurts only a select few Pokemon which for some reason do not get Sludge Wave such as Roserade,Venu,Gengar,and Crobat .The Best of these Pokemon is Gengar,but not only does the game give you far better pokemon,unless you are lucky Gastly is not available till very late into end game .With Moves such as Swords Dance,Calm Mind,VoltTurn,and EarthBeam it is understandable why they are not in. With the Former,The Player can start running set up cheese and Hyper Offense VoltTurn Cheese,and with the Later they are very powerful and useful moves. Sludge Bomb only benefits a few Pokemon.

Surprised they struggled more on Noel than Shelly. I mean Noel Proygon Z is a bitch without Infernape or Blaziken,but otherwise he is rather tame compared to Shelly,Corey or Shade.
-
I love seeing Twit Rage even though the Locke Rules are Off.
-
Her Character in this game amounts to the very stereotypical "Friendship is Overrated!" "Everything is going to plain" "Power is the only thing that matters" Type Character,which has been done to death and done way better in other games. Shame that she stole the spot as the main antagonist as Solaris was looking to be quite the great one.
-
What I find funny is that the Encounter with the Doctor in both cases is a lot harder compared to Sirius,especially in Belrose were he can set a Terrain
-
I found Hardy to be way easier than the Past Two Gym Leaders tbh. His Field Effect is so much easier to prepare for than Water Surface and Fairy Tale,the two most powerful fields in the game at this point. His typing is a lot worse than Water or Steel,some of the best typings in the game. Finally,his mons are not as difficult to deal with as he doesnt have that powerful pokemon I destroyed Hardy with Drizzle Polietoad+Specs Swift Swim Kingdra with Surf while I had to counter team and play perfeclty for Titania and Amaria.
-
I always found Noel to be pretty easy outside of his Porygon Z. Even with a Spirttomb,that thing is a pain in the ass to face and you have to lead off with a pokemon to trigger the Attack Boost as well.
-
Good that they finally took off the Perma Deaths Rules for all Encounters Moving Forward. That means they wont be liable to lose the psuedos,Poipole,or any other starters that they may find. If they lost the Goomy Encounter,Amaria would be hell. Assualt Vest Goodra with Sludge wave is such a life saver for that Gym.
-
I lost first time and managed to win Second try. His Chomp ended up being his last mon and I had already set Webs and Toxic Spikes,so I just sacked my Politoad to reverse the sand and then stalled him out with my Phys Def Gliscor
-
Yeah,that why when I first faced Solaris in EP18 I was confused as his Chomp was dealing a lot more damage than it should have even with me removing the Sand.
