Took out Shelly with Lanturn, Vespiqueen, Graveler, Venomoth, Donphan, and Bronzong

Just got the 2nd gym done, this time my team changed a little, Raticate, Mightyena. Lieperred, Lopunny, Vespiqueen, and Swoobat

I am doing a new run type I call Mono "No Event" which means I cannot use any starters, pokemon gained through events, trades, or anything other than pokemon that I catch in the wild through normal unscripted means. I Just defeated the first gym leader doing this run and wanted to share my team so far and update it as i progress through the gyms. Just for fun. For the first gym leader my team was Meowth, Purrlion. Raticate, Grimer, Mightyena, and Bibarel. I will update when i get to the next gym.

Awesome, I can trade with you whenever you are available. Thanks so much.

My old reborn file got deleted on accident so I have started a new run doing a flying monotype run and I was really hoping to get Togepi from the mystery egg that can have it, but I did not get so lucky. Now that I am at a point in the game where I have the chance to get it I don't feel so cheaty asking if anyone has a togepi under level 35 (my current cap) that they would be willing to trade. I just started so I don't have much to trade, and I have been avoiding catching anything that isn't flying type to save money, but I did get a shiny Skitty from an event and I have my shiny Beautifly that I can trade. Unfortunately those are the only shiny pokemon I have found so far and the rest would mostly be common pokemon that I have to offer. If anyone has a Togepi for me, let me know, thanks!

Yea, I don't see any Moonstones listed that I can access yet other than the one I already used on my skitty. And I didn't get any from mining, so am I just screwed?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to get a moonstone to evolve my Munna, but I am not having any luck. I already used the one I found early on to evolve my Skitty, and i've mined all the mineable rocks I can find without getting one. Any help would be appreciated!

I leveled up my team to all 35 and beat her bug cheeks . Thanks guys!

After demolishing Corey on the first try, I was feeling a surge of confidence in Reborn. All of that was quickly slapped away when Shelly decided to put me in my place. The double battle in a gym really caught me off guard, and it seems like every move she uses hits both of my Pokémon that are out every time. I’m also a little confused on my level cap at this point of the game, can I get my Pokémon to 35 for Shelly, or do I have to keep them at 30? I’ve been keeping them at 30 since I don’t relish the idea of using common candy and wasting exp. The line up I am currently using against her is a Growlith, Ponyta, Graveler, Klink, Persian and Castform, all of which are 30ish.

I only heard about Reborn a few days ago. I am on my third day playing, and my entire idea of Pokemon has been forever changed. I'm 27 years old, and as much as I would like, the mainline pokemon games just do not do it for me anymore. There is no challenge in Sword and Shield at all, even with self imposed difficulty increases. For years I have dreamed of a Pokemon game that would push the series to its absolute limits. A pokemon game made for adults, where victory is far from a certainty. Reborn is so much more than that. It is better than anything I have ever dreamed of for a Pokemon game. The love and attention to detail that went into this game shows from the very start. All the dialogue in the mainline games is subpar at best, but Pokemon Reborn's characters feel so real and full of personality. Every time I turn a corner it seems like there is a new event to be discovered. The battles themselves have helped me reach new heights as a trainer I never even thought possible. Over coming obstacles that seem impossible at first makes me feel like I actually accomplished something. I am not even far into the game at all yet, I only just beat the third gym, but this is already by far the most fun and memorable experiences I have had with a pokemon game by a long shot. The music in the game is awesome as well, I look forward to hearing the new soundtrack every time I enter a new area. Honestly, the team behind this game should be the ones making the mainline pokemon games, GameFreaks titles do not even come close to what they have put out in my honest opinion. I just wanted to say thanks to all the people who put in the hard work to make a dream come true for pokemon fans around the world. I do not know how I never heard of Reborn until recently, but I am glad I found it eventually. Thanks again Reborn Team, you have truly blessed this world with your beautiful and amazing game!

I never liked the idea of using starter Pokémon, I prefer to have a unique team of Pokémon I caught myself, so every game I immediately box my starter at the first opportunity. For Reborn I went outside the Grand Hall and a Meowth was the first thing to pop up, so I caught it and it became my starter. My poor penguin is still sitting in my PC at level 6. Meowth has been real good to me, Payday is the most useful move in the game. Non Starter starters FTW

So I just started Reborn yesterday and I am absolutely in love with the game. It is 1000000x better than anything GameFreak has put out imo. But I have a question about Shiny Pokémon. In the mainline game series, i have put tons of hours into every game and I’ve only caught a handful of shiny Pokémon myself, most of the ones I have were traded to me. In reborn though I only have 2 gym badges and I’ve already caught a shiny Buneary and a shiny Sewaddle, and I wasn’t even shiny hunting or anything, just playing the game normally. Did I just get super lucky in Reborn, or are the shiny rates different from the mainline series games? Thanks!

I’d love a rotom!

Update: I kicked her butt! I ended up trying it without using Castform first cuz I wasn't sure if he would stop obeying me if I leveled him to 25 to learn weatherball and was still able to pull it off. I used Gulpin, Koffing, Makuhita, Woobat, Pancham and Klink and was able to beat her the first try with that team. Loving Reborn! Anyone who hasn't played Reborn hasn't played Pokemon, they have only played the tutorial Thanks guys!

Ah yeah that did confuse me! What does the before badge part mean then? I was able to evolve a furret and got my castform, and while I was leveling him up I caught my first shiny, a Buneary, so that was cool I have had zero luck getting this game to rain, so as much as I'd like a Numel it just doesn't seem to be in the cards, and I don't really want to use mods. Here is hoping with my new castform I'll be able to shake things up.
