You get lotad by the pier in the town with the warehouses. It should be located on the lower or upper pier where the fisherman was from before, those pinkish strips right near the area of the warehouse, lotad might also appear on certain days of weather so you should keep checking but I think this is mainly the case as long as you haven't battled and defeated it yet. As far as breeding I'd try the cottonee and go for a parent with a desired nature, by having that parent hold an everstone it will have a greater chance at passing it to lotad. As far as a moveset for now a good one containing giga drain and later hydro pump as well as some more versatile moves like ice beam later on in the game. I'd go for the classic modest swift swimmer overall. As far as your sixth spot you could still try for a different electric pokemon such as a potential jolteon later in game or possibly wait for luxray to get better moves as the game progresses. You can also look at the current list of pokemon for more ideas and pick one based off of how much typing you've covered offensively for your team

I can't say I've been through the same thing but I too have been through online communities, fan fiction/game developing teams, and even one or two similar to the gym leader system here at reborn were I was a master of fire. I've even followed the path of darkness only to wind back here again to be reborn in a new light. Currently I'm a competitive pokemon video game player and looking to finish what I started here at reborn. The name as you can see is the Eternal Jinn but you can call me Dark or Aries

Shade was the the second hardest for me my first time around, had nothing to do super effective damage against dat chandy and had to beef up my pokemon before I was able to beat him. My hardest was definently harder mainly because I was facing the original Aya without a pokemon who could do super effective damage. Btw Awesome Mega Blaziken sprite dude

Love the thread dude, reminds me a lil of pokemon manga. Keep up the awesome work
