If you refer to the fight at Ametrine mountain then I think you seriously need to really find some type coverage since most of your team are easily counter by his pokemon. With your team now the best chance you have is set up and sweep with gradevoir. Try to set up when he sent Starmie out since calm mind boost your sp.atk and sp.def then sweep his team out of the mountain gl:) In case you mean double battle at fiore mansion. Just take care of Fern for Florina and she'll take care of most of blake team for you gl:) Ps. Pls do formatting next time. It's really hard to read also pls mention which fight since some character is fought more than 1 time.

Did you have a back up save option enable? If you do try loading it instead of normal save file using this guide. You might be able to find some back up save before the event you stuck on. PS. In case you can choose where you go back(Save file name will tell you like badge 3 mean somewhere after Shelly fight.) You might want to go back and stock up since at that point of story it'll be a long while before you can go back to Reborn.

You can find honedge in the mirage tower in tourmaline dessert same place where you can find Mimikyu. Just solve the puzzle it will be on the top floor.

Early game in this game is tough since there aren't a lot of good pokemon to use and hard to come by. Great pokemon in early game mostly come by static encounter so try explore everywhere you can. For now just deal with what you have and keep exploring and if you feel under level there is always a trainer in grand hall to grind. Also you can find a lot good pokemon via some static encounter or sidequest such as Espurr in Peridot ward, Growlithe in Beryl ward etc. Another tip I found out is unless you can sweep everything in your way, try find some tank or hazard setter or something that can disrupt opponent this will help a lot in a long run(AI in reborn is no joke like main game).

Your team and box are looking great to me. For Solaris his team hit pretty hard and fast with mega Garchomp as his ace, your team is not gonna outspeed him even with noivern in your box(I've already try that since noivern is my ace too ) From your box you may try using trick room since his mon are pretty speedy or train up Exacadrill since it can set up sword dance and sweep. From my playthrough I use this same strat but change Excadril Aegislash to set up sword dance while lower his team attack with king's shield then sweep them all with shadow sneak(240+ power with priority).

Pokemon Rejuvenation - Lycanroc dawn(midday is fine too), Decent speed with priority move and good movepool (stun lock and kill groudon for me lol) . Never take him off my team since start of the game. Pokemon Reborn - Aegislash, even though it's a bit late in the game but it wreck everything in following major battle including infamous 6v30 gaunlet.

I think Breloom fit your team more in my opinion since Breloom itself have more variey movepool compare to Roserade so you can change its moveset to fit your need on the fly also ability wise I also think Breloom is more useful to your team more because all 3 ability Breloom could have is pretty handy. Effect spore might save you in a clutch. Poison heal this open up to Facade+poison combo which is pretty devastate. And Techinician, if combo with mach punch and some stat raising move it's pretty scary.

This look fun I'll join in as well.

Randomus is not that hard to take down unless he can set up trick room. Just make sure that you can get rid of Reuniclus ASAP. Your team and reserve are looking good to take on him but you might want to bench Noivern and switch to Zoroark for this fight since the field effect give psychic type move gain a rock type so Noivern gonna get wrecked(Trust me on this Noivern is my ace too). You might want to try Persian from my playthrough oddly enough he wreck Randomus team pretty horribly(Techinician+Fake out+Assurance = RIP Reuniclus). About Leavanny, I don't think it's not a great idea due to how his field work. Don't get me wrong Leavanny is pretty good pokemon to train but just not for this fight.

Base on my experience, I don't have any leveling problem in early game since there a lot of Audino trainer around with variety of level range so lack of rare candy in early game or even the whole game is not that much of a problem IMO. Also the fact that EV in HP is not a concern since Ev reducing berry is not that late to be obtainable(Akuwa town is still consider early for me and it's very cheap).

It's pretty good already again don't worry too much about IV. About Florinia the only problem for her is her ace cardily since your level cap is 25 which mean you're not gonna have access to pokemon and move so you have rely on tactics rather brute force. Beside from my experience this game want you to use variety of pokemon rather than using one or two team of perfect or good pokemon, you always have to be able to change tactics on the fly. I'll share my team with you may be it'll help you see what you gonna have to face in your journey through Reborn. Have fun on your Journey and plz don't pull your hair out if you lose some major fight(just kidding ). REBORN TEAM AND RESERVE

IV recommend for Blaziken is attack and speed the rest is not that important Getting perfect IV is hard unless you gonna take time to find it or reset or ask around for perfect IV in the forum so the range I think that is consider good is 20 or above in desired stat. Still don't worry much about IV you can still beat this game without EV or IV training just adapt to around your pokemon you may face a brick wall sometime but you can do it. Good luck

About coverage, Strategy-wise I think you should find a screen setter or hazard entry setter for early access I suggest Meowstic you can find it at the alleyway in the lower peridot ward. If you got male it's a very handy support thanks to trickster that let you set up at least one screen for free, if you got female it's a good attacker have access to variety of coverage move for it's own type. Type-wise(take this with a grain of salt), I don't think there is anything to suggest at the moment because IMO your team need some grass and ground type so catch anything with those typing for now since you don't have much choice in early game. The best option for now I think is a Palossand(Bulky and have a sustain move) with a 2% chance encounter on apophyll beach. PS> In case of you haven't finish the game yet this fight in not mandatory to win because spoilers...

Aya main strat is to use sludge wave since she doesn't care if her pokemon get hit also she tend to set up toxic spike or other entry hazard to have it deal additional damage using the the field effect. Your team is looking good to take on Aya so try leading with other pokemon and keep your Meowsitc alive at all cost as an ace since at this level it can one or two shot Dragalge. Another tip is not to focus Toxapex let it sludge wave since it'll chip her team a bit too also Toxapex itself is design to be a tank so it's not gonna hit that hard (watch out for the toxic spike though).

Without knowing what in your reserve I can't help much. In general you should try to keep your partner alive. AI for partner in this game is pretty good it can hold it own ground unlike in main game. Even though they do some goofy thing sometime you have to watch your partner back too. With that point made, I suggest you should try to cover Florinia if possible she will take care of most pokemon for you if you can keep her team alive. Also I suggest you should change Drapion movepool to hazard setter with toxic spike(mine set are toxic spike/cross poison/Brick break/crunch). it can help in this fight a lot and many upcoming fight too.

Glad you have fun with game. Hope you have a great time here and have fun journey through reborn.

This seems interesting I'll join in too. For me that one gym leader is Souta. His team is very speedy thank to elemental seed tailwind and also on his field hurricane will get power boost and never miss(TOO OP!) and also the super effective rock move is useless since it onlydoes X1 damage this is very suck at that point only electric pokemon I have is Vikavolt so yeah just hope that it survive with focus band at that point for me. Overall his team is not that scary by reborn or rejuvenation standard but his field make everything he have OP.

Your team is looking good but I think you should get some tank(Reuniclus and rotom-wash is ok but I don't know EV spread so I don't know if it's a tank or not.) or entry hazard setter in case of thing goes worst so you can heal up or revive some member. Also I think you should use the competitive moveset for aegislash for example Shadow sneak/ King's shield/ Sacred sword or Iron head/ Sword dance. Don't underestimate Shadow sneak, with your IV spread you can easily set up one or two sword dance with that shadow sneak can pretty much one shot anything especially if it super-effective and also it's a priority move which make speed not a concern. Another thing I think you should add Talonflame to your rotation for fly user. Since Gale wing still broken as it is and also very easy to find in this game for some reason you'll get fly of without concern of failing because Talonflame is pretty speedy to begin with also acrobatic+ gale wing + flying gem = broken.

It all depend on your composition. Volcarona is very good stat and move pool wise. All and all you should have many Pokemon in reserve in case you have to change start on the fly. This may be unrelated to the question but I recommend training honedge it's very versatile and can set up on it's own without needing much help.

Nice to meet you Neuonce. Love your icon too. I also love to make art too but I'm still far from artist level. I already finished my reborn run so if you want any Pokemon we can trade. Anyway hope you have fun and enjoy your time here.

I've lurking around and already posting here and there but I haven't properly introduce myself yet. My name is Ryuta. I'm from Thailand. I've stumble upon this game while finding something to play waiting for this year Pokemon sword and shield. So far I've already finished my first run through reborn. It's the first Pokemon fan game I've play and it is amazing also it's a first game that make me rage quit a few times(sometime major battle is so annoying) haha. Anyway nice to meet everyone

I suggest grinding at Indra in agate circus for two reason which are money and shard. The shard is used for buying Pokemon in 7th Street(if you'l haven't done this)once you purchase all of them arclight will come and give you lucky egg and as other have already said with that money you'll be able to afford some rare candy. Another place I recommend is route 3 cave with lucky egg you'll get around 1500-2000 exp per encounter pretty low but not that bad. Good luck on your run.

@Kalaylay His hawlucha is pretty fast but it's not that bulky beside you have gale wings Talonfalme that should be able to one shot it with the acrobatics+boost of Big top arena you fight him in(I have it on my playthrough too and it did for some reason). If you have problem may be you can train up your starly, it can hit pretty hard and can survive one or two hit. Another thing you can try is to catch Noctowl on Route 2. It's pretty bulky good at taking hit and it has access to movepool that counter Samson team pretty hard. Also I suggest you bench Yanmega for this fight because even though it fast and hit hard but if opponent survive you'll down 1 pokemon instantly.

For my opinion I don't think lax nature hurt him that much with that IV line up perfect in attack and sp.atk along with decent speed. With that IV line up open your option to let you set it up to be either sp.atk sweeper or atk sweeper since base stat is 95 across the board (when it become Sivally) so you can EV trains him as you wish. Nature changing can wait beside that extra defense you get from nature might save you in a pinch sometimes. (So many times on my playthrough)

Glass factory gauntlet is the quite a challenging fight depend on the team you have. I pull through using sword dance team combo with earthquake. I'll share my team key player at that point may be it'll help also this pokemon you can found in wild at pretty high level or you can just grind at grand hall it only take me 1.5 hour to grind to cap with the help of lucky egg. Excadrill - Sand rush (Earth Plate) (Sword dance+Earthquake sweeper) - Sword dance - Metal claw - Rock tomb - Earthquake Talonflame - Gale wing (no item) (Lead for earthquake combo and Shelly killer) - Acrobatics - Fly - Steel wing - Roost Aegislash - Stance change (Fist plate) (Sword dance sweeper for 2nd and 3rd fight) - Sword dance - King's shield - Sacred sword - Shadow sneak Noivern - Infiltrator (Life orb) (Another combo with Earthquake user also shelly killer) - Air Slash - Boomburst - Dragon pulse - Fly You don't have to to choose perfect IV and EV train you just have to pick your team carefully and also try do side quest you'll get a lot of good pokemon such as mimikyu,honedge(both are very broken in my opinion),espurr,etc.
