TunaFishCan Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 The last time I played reborn was during the water treatment center, and I found that using gengar in pokemon reborn in 2019 isn't the same as when I used it in 2015. Can you give me some advice on my newly revamped team? Charizard x Charizardite-x Jolly Blaze Dragon Dance Flare Blitz Outrage Dragon Claw Excadrill Life Orb Jolly Sand Rush Swords Dance Earthquake Smart strike Rock slide Tyranitar Assault Vest Careful Sand Stream Rock Slide Crunch Earthquake Ice Punch Serperior Metronome (had only 1 life orb) Timid Contrary Leaf Storm Hidden Power Fire Grassy Terrain Glare Azumarill Sitrus Berry Adamant Huge power Belly drum Aqua jet Play rough Waterfall Conkeldurr Toxic Orb Adamant Guts Drain Punch Mach Punch Facade Thunder Punch Thanks in advance!

logintomylife Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Would recommend getting some SPA focused pokemon instead of Conkeldurr, otherwise I would change anything, your team seems really strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunaFishCan Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 I did have some trouble breaking physical walls; I usually blasted through them with charizard-x, but if a new physical wall pulse pokemon shows up, I would probably be screwed. Any suggestions for a SPA replacement for Conkeldurr that can kill normal types? I do have an adaptability porygon-z with hyper beam and choice specs in my PC.

logintomylife Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Would recommend to get Froslass, if you can, or Lucario. Not sure if the later can learn Ice Beam, which will be very useful in future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunaFishCan Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 Lucario can't learn ice beam, but it does seem pretty useful. As for frosglass, I'm curious about why you recommend it. I never used it before, so I don't know about its advantages/disadvantages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logintomylife Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Its a decent SPA focused Ice/Shadow Type, can take a hit, too. Ice is useful by itself, Shadow Ball is also a nice STAB move against E4 member we will face off. Bit slower than the rest, but can't think of better SPA Ice-type out of top of my head.

TunaFishCan Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 How about alolan ninetales? Aurora veil always does wonders, though it probably wouldn't match up with tyranitar/excadrill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logintomylife Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) Ah, yeah, that can work too... But... Spoiler Certain someone lost head after using this pokemon, so I am not sure xD Edited May 29, 2019 by logintomylife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunaFishCan Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 I guess I'll probably be using my original team, but I will level up a Frosglass for reserve. Thanks once again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logintomylife Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 No problem mate, always happy to help. Good luck with the rest of the run! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Teto Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I like your team. Like a lot. Here are a few changes that I will do. Charizard: Roost instead of one dragon move. It's always good to have recovery options, especially in double battles. Excadrill: Iron Head instead of Smart Strike. It's more powerful and it can flinch. Tyranitar: Stone Edge instead of Rock Slide in single battles. You can switch between one and the other freely so it's up to you. I like Serperior. The item too. I don't know if you use Grassy Terrain a lot but I'm sure it's efficient in Reborn. Azumarill: Maybe Knock Off instead of Waterfall. But I understand you need it for journey reasons. Otherwise Liquidation > Waterfall. Conkeldurr: Should have a Flame Orb at some point. Less painful. Conkeldurr is slow so Drain Punch must help a lot staying alive. So, do you use Facade a lot? Knock Off is better option if you want to hit Ghost types. Finally, I feel that Ice Punch is better than Thunder Punch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunaFishCan Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 Since it's pokemon reborn, a story game, I use hyper potions instead of roost. Excadrill can't learn iron head yet in reborn. Stone edge has too little PP to use in the story. I couldn't find the flame orb in the game, and I didn't use knock off because I use tyranitar to fight off ghost types. For Conkeldurr, I actually used ice punch a bit, but I found out that excadrill had a surprisingly hard time beating bulky water/poison types when not ranked up.

Aurora veil always does wonders, though it probably wouldn't match up with tyranitar/excadrill. Hey bud, as your team is centered around set-up with excadrill/ char-x/ azumarill/ Serperior, I'd strongly suggest going for Aurora Veil Support for it can give you the one or two turn you'll need before you can 0HKO everything. Secondly I'd debate against sitrus berry on Azumarill, as it will only trigger once and in a lengthy gauntlet that could easily backfire, as Azumarill is your only reliable Check against Fighting-types. Same goes for Serperior as its only grass move has a maximum of 8pp, hence i'd recommend getting a second grass move (energy ball/ giga drain) over glare. either way! good luck on your run mate. I'd look forward on a recap of yours after beating the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
