Correction, only Earthquake, Magnitude and other like, Ground-shaking-moves fail, I think........

I restart my runs, so they're sorta updated. On a scale of 1-10, 1 being easy, 10 being hard.... Julia - 2 Florinia - 5 Corey - 6 Shelly - 8 Shade - 4 Kiki - 4 Aya - 7 Serra - 3 Noel - 7 Radomus - 3 Luna - 3 Samson - 7 Charlotte - 9 Terra - 4 Ciel - 5 ....don't ask why....

Normal type singular ranking because I'm not done with EP15 yet! Ditto: S Rank At first one wonders what gave ditto it's marvelous ranking here. I implore you to realize that Ditto is able to copy the following mons on the leader's teams: - Lucario on kiki, who has Psychic, and Aura Sphere is boosted by her field - Garchomp on Solaris - Arceus on El - Malamar on Radomus - Malamar with Superpower on Luna - Acrobatics Mienshao, Bounce Blaziken and Conkeldurr on Samson Random other mons able to be used against themselves include: - Scizor on Fern - Nidoking on Cain - Gallade on Victoria - Random mons which might also be useful. Ditto is really more of a boss battle Pokemon, not the sort which will help you against the average Joe on the street. This thing won me El, Solaris, Kiki and Samson, which is a big feat considering normal lacks the strength, speed and bulk in normal/flying types, resulting in a small issue when it comes to Samson/Kiki/other fighting type users. Will do more when EP15 is finished.

If you're attempting to beat Swalot, reminder that the field negates all ground moves. It sucks, but you need electric moves. Im praising Heliolisk for my normal run, hopefully I can flash stall and destroy....hopefully.....

It's horribly rare from experience. Better luck in the cementary imo.

I'll be honest, I don't think we can steal them via covet/theif for reasons. i recall being trick-ed a Choice Band, it didn't stay with me after the battle. but as a tip, even the NPCs hold items, especially that clown in agate

...this is before the breeding mechanics got changed right?

Yay! On a side note, let's return to spectulation, when do you think we'll meet the champion/confirm who the champion is? Will Ame troll us until the final episode...?

Yes, that is the accursed new mon. It has Nature Power (sand tomb), Poisonpowder, Leech Seed and god forbid, protect something else I forgot

H-How did u get Toxic?????

Also, I think it's mildly better if we could also lay out strategies for that accursed Cottonee....

Well this explains the amount of time expected to finish this episode. That being said, KEEP IT UP DEVS, WE LUHV U TOO. Also, yea, I wonder what's in that tower there.....perhaps a family of Oshawott? I hope we get them....

Seismitoad's Earth Power is bred onto it right? Or did I miss the Earth Power tutor? Also, doing a normal monorun, will do analysis of some normal mons soon. After I beat Ciel. Which means possibly 2 weeks later since im doing it slow.

If you're about to enter Agate, it means you already have Dark Pulse. Try to teach that to Greninja maybe? Well better electric types include Magnezone....

Thanks, but I don't really want to revert to previous episodes and what not, so...yea.

If I may, litleo isn't a hide and seek event. That event and vulpix seems to merge, I found it immediately at the house leading down to the Railnet. Sadly, I took no pictures. Also, the egg moves for Lillipup include Ice/Thunder/Fire Fang.

I wonder how will Ame code it so that at the beginning reborn's all dirty, but after we fly back reborn's all shiny and nice. Hype for fairy leader tho. Still 0%, sadness. But no rush at all, we got uber amount of time left, no need to hurry and make the episode sloppy

This guy is right, I got that litleo already. Be prepared to fight a lvl 38 Klinklang though.....not the most fun thing when you have a normal run of reborn.....

Thanks everyone! Although I really really really really want a Linoone early game...sigh

Hihi people! I am doing a monotype normal run of Pokémon Reborn, and I am on the hunt for the following: Zigzagoon, Starly, Miltank, Girafarig, Kangaskhan. Atm I just beaten Corey. I know that Girafarig should be somewhere Pre-Radomus and Kangaskhan is around route 3 or so, but preferably if I could get some confirmations or if there's an earlier location, so let me know! Also, Zigzagoon is NOT at that alleyway in Obsidia, I got a litleo instead. Another thing I'd like to know, what are the possible mystery eggs which are normal type? Thanks in advance!

Aite, Qwilfish's a B-Ranker. It's not as bulky as one might thought it'd be, but it's pros such as Swift Swim Poison Jab, Intimidate support, Perish Song helps. If you'd edit shit, I'd be grateful

http://prntscr.com/7hi606 Just for people who want to know, here's the new Litleo location if anyone's interested EDIT: It ran off, so ignore this post thanks

Incoming water analyses: Qwilfish - A Rank I would like more opinions on this if possible, as I alone might be lacking in using this mon in water monos. Qwilfish is an interestingly strong Pokemon. Despite having 95 Base attack, it gets Poison Jab, Aqua Tail, Toxic Spikes, Spikes and the coveted Destiny Bond. Destiny Bond helps against certain OP Bosses or PULSE Pokemon, and even helps to take a Pokemon down assuming you're faster than it, which is entirely possible with Swift Swim Qwilfish. It also gets Intimidate, if you prefer the attack drop. However, it's availability late game makes people stop and consider if they really want to go to the mountain, fish an average of 5 times to get a Qwilfish, only to be dissapointed with it's IVs and proceed to find a better one for the rest of the day. The availability makes me put it at A Rank, considering that you can get better options which do better (Read: Swanna for Grass Type Coverage, Sludge Wave Clawitzer or Swampert for Fairy Coverage/Poison move as a whole). Lapras - A Rank Another A Rank Pokemon, nicely deserved because of a few reasons, including majestic bulk, HydraRest, Perish Song, naturally learning Ice Beam via level up, and Freeze Dry / Dragon Dance as potential Egg Move. It can do the roles of several mons, including acting as a fantastic water counter with Water Absorb/Freeze Dry, run a physical Ice Shard/Waterfall/DragonDance/Bulldoze set, be a Perish Song mon to force AI switches at the 3rd turn after Perish Song is used, and most importantly, as a counter to Ciel as a whole. (I 2HKO her Noivern despite being 15 levels under it, and it managed to tank a boomburst....boosted from field, yes). Downsides include not actually having Rest to abuse Hydration Rest Combo, lack of any other moves not ice/water type and having a weakness to fighting, rock, grass, electric etc, making it's bulk not so majestic after all. Can we have more analyses? I'd greatly love some, am doing some mono-runs, looking for shit to use anyway. But nice job we have guys :3

Panpour's Scald would help in some scenarios......but it's not that bad of an option until you get Vaporeon/Clauncher/Remoraid/Lapras Also, Swanna/Ludicolo are really good

Some updates: Greninja : A > S Rank At first I assumed Greninja was not OP, but I'd like to rectify it: It's not so OP early game. Extrasensory at lvl 49 and eventually Dark Pulse after Ame fixed the stuff regarding it really helped a lot. However, I would still not rank it as a must take mon, but rather a very nice option to have as you will need the extrasensory coverage for Roserades, Vileplumes etc Grass/Poison types which might be a little troublesome, not to mention a big help in the form of Dark Pulse coverage. Do keep in mind that if you take this, you're stuck with Whiscash or Lanturn for your Electric Counter, as Swampert isn't available. Clawitzer : Edit movepool to include Sludge Wave. Surprising? Yes, this monster learns Sludge Wave, which might be helpful depending on your roster. Naturally, one would take Clawitzer of Swampert as the candidate for a Poison move, which helps in hitting those fairies hard (I'm looking at Togekiss in particular, stupid paraflincher....). Also, thanks to Dark Pulse being a TM, you can safely swap out Dark Pulse for Sludge Wave and vice versa when you're done with a particularly annoying battle where you think Dark Pulse is useless against and you need Sludge Wave. Not to mention you probably already have Greninja.
