Magical seed is great, especially with Shiinotic and Sleep Powder. Ralts and Kirlia (Fairy/Poison and Fairy/Fire) are both weak to ground so bring a pokemon with Earthquake if you can, Shiinotic even resists it. Gardevior will attack last under Trick Room, should fall after a couple super-effective attacks (weak to Steel, Poison and Fairy). The Ralts and Kirlia all have the ability Friend Guard, reducing damage dealt to their allies. If you can neutralize their abilities or have a pokemon with Mold Breaker, both kinda difficult to do, the fight would be easier.

I've done a flying monotype as well and the Aster & Eclipse fight on Azurine Island was one of the hardest fights on the run, without Victoria at your side. The rock weakness is hard to build against. I found Dartrix and Fearow worked well in these fights, but other great options for Aster and Eclipse would be: Jumpluff, as fast as a Lycanroc with sleep powder, leech seed and stab acrobatics Vivillon, tinted lens, sleep powder, and quiver dance at level 45 Masquerain, intimidate, bubblebeam, quiver dance by move tutor Tranquil, learns Roost early which removes rock weakness on top of healing if used first Best of luck!!

Can't seem to battle Grand Hall trainers Alola forms with Kanto form abilites when caught, Ability capsules switch to Alola abilities

I was laughing at how weak Fern was, that stopped quickly when I reached the factory. God that's so mean XD Then there's the two grunts with a Lunatone and Solrock and the foreboding grows after seeing their abilities... then WHAM first hard fight of the mod is Aster and Eclipse who totally dumpster Fern and I

@btid_exettv no issues on 18.3 for me, Game.exe or Game-z.exe

Sentret, funnily enough

Thanks! I'll keep an eye out for it, though I haven't seen it yet so there's some hidden trigger.

Could I have some help finding Swablu? I've become very intimate with the Peridot ward Here are some other new locations Nosepass Bastiodon Floette Dedenne Sentret Bergmite Snorunt

I'm attempting the virtual elite four battles now, I chose the Chikorita team, and there's no consistent way to defeat Karen. (On intense mode... is it okay to say intense is too hard?) Karen's Persian, Tyranitar, Mega Houndoom, and partly Honchkrow all punch giant holes through the whole team. Their large special stats are hard to maneuver around with the only physical attacker on the team being Skarmory, which gets 2hko'd coverage moves and outspeeds only Ttar. Two of the team's biggest hitters, Gengar and Espeon have Psychic as their strongest move, and faint quickly to dark moves. Ampharos struggles to take on Honchkrow, let alone anything else on the team. So far it's fine. Very difficult, but doable if you avoid enemy crits, hit Hypnosis for a 2+ turn sleep, get a crit for yourself or get lucky with your damage rolls all in the one battle. Still the hardest fight I've had in the virtual battles (no way Lance can be this bad), but what really makes Karen unbearable is her ace, Umbreon. It has Leftovers. It has Rest. Dark Pulse and Toxic makes short work of all six team members thanks to it's really high special stat. Every member bar Meganium takes 4 hits+ of their strongest attack to knock it out, where it has plenty of time to use Rest. The only way to stop it from using Rest it to flinch it to death with Skarmory (after Rock Tomb, otherwise Umbreon outspeeds), paralysis from Ampharos or send it to sleep yourself (although it does have Sleep Talk). By the time I reach Umbreon I'd be lucky to have one of these options still alive. All in all the odds of defeating Umbreon with the full team aren't good, let alone when the team's on its last legs after somehow defeating the rest of Karen's formidable team. The chances of winning the battle are so close to zero it's unreasonable. I am playing set mode without using bag items in battle, and I know some will say that using these handicaps on intense is asking for an unwinnable fight, but I believe that all fights should be possible to win on an equal playing field. And they have been, until now. I'm just frustrated and venting because I spent so much time finding to find consistent ways to defeat the first three of the e4 thank to the current bug only to be completely walled by Karen, who isn't even the final fight. A small buff to the Chikorita team would be nice, or nerf Karen a little for Chikorita only.

I meant restored shadow pokemon, but now I realize a monotype guide isn't really the place for it. I'm really glad you made this up, it is super handy to have on hand. Thanks!

I think you should put in a shadow typing too, if anyone wants to try that out. Does each chapter correlate to the same badge i.e. chapter 4 = up to badge 4?

Bronzong has Gyro Ball which is awesome with Trick Room, Factory fields and Fairy Tale Field "Gyro Ball of Justice!". 150 bp off zong HURTS even before a field boost, despite a not stellar attack stat. Z-Trick Room later on raises accuracy which is good for hypnosis too. Kecleon is a fun one to try out as you can dance around the enemy's next move with Protean and its wide moveset, with handy fighting, psychic and dark moves to resist attacks that you can see coming, and surprising special bulk when invested. Porygon-2 with eviolite would be bulky with good recovery but would be offensively weaker than some other options. Malamar might be a littttle too fast for Trick Room but you could prob make it work with as little speed as possible. It could be overkill with a Metronome + Superpower.

The version 12 changelog says "+Fixed Issue with Kyogre not spawning if you sequence break certain events." so maybe patch 12.1 rebroke the event? Either way I found a workaround -> return to Crawli's gym and enter the door a second time, after getting magma drift. I'm so glad I don't need to wait for this to be patched to continue my playthrough

___ flinched! ___ is paralyzed! It can't move! fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

Tesla flew off awhile ago to save Amber as soon as she was captured, I think the resort is empty of all the side characters atm. WEIRD stuff is going on
