"Turn based Dark Souls" *Goes on a rant about how part of the difficulty in dark souls is having reaction times and being able to time attacks and dodges, etc*

I'm not a huge fan of breeding, so I might replace dragon pulse with flash cannon if I ever need to. But it seems like dark pulse / aura sphere and a buffing move are pretty constant, and everyone is telling me to go special, so (also since I've already started down that path) I think that's what I'll do.

Easiest Gym for me was Cain's Sister ( Can't remember name). I was doing a Steel monotype, so it was pretty straightforward that half of her moves had no effect. The field effect also allowed my forretress to spam spikes, which would do INSANE damage to both her pokemon. The hardest Gyms were Kiki, Samson, and Charlotte. When their main type is super effective to all of your mons it gets frustrating

Alright, a special lucario sounds good, I'll teach it Dark Pulse, Aura Sphere, Calm Mind, Dragon Pulse. Decent moveset, I don't really need a steel move on it (I kinda have that covered ) Thanks for the help! BTW: I probably wont ever get around to fixing its speed IV, I've never liked breeding for perfect (or even decent) IVs

I beat Charlotte using a bronzong (heatproof) to set up trick room and then sent out Steelix and Escavalier holding hard stones and spammed rock slide. That is mono-steel though... It would be helpful if you listed your team and any other notable pokemon you have. IMHO Rain dance doesn't help a ton, the room stays superheated even after you make it rain (which is quite annoying) You could always catch a piloswine and make sure it knows mist, for some reason, iirc, mist cancels out all other terrain effects. Other than that I don't really have much advice to offer besides going back a few episodes and picking up a moxxie gyarados to sweep her with.

Training a Lucario for a monosteel run, I was wondering if I should make him a special or physical lucario? Thoughts for Physical Close Combat ( Might switch out for something else, like Shadow Claw) Swords Dance Brick Break ExtremeSpeed Thoughts for Special Aura Sphere Calm Mind Dragon Pulse XXXXXXX extra info Just wondering what you guys think

Same here, I just went MIA for a few MONTHS without thinking of playing this game, because I have to train a bronzong rain dance for charlotte... and now I don't even remember what exactly that does for me, I just remember that that is what I need to do. UGH. Monosteel is fun, but frustrating at times.

Sorry, I just thought of pokemon that float for my examples, my point was a lot of floating pokemon are affected by ground type moves

Dealing with the dark pulse spam on my steel monotype run was pure hell. I got past it by (finally) baiting out a hyper beam, and then sending out Escavalier to use X-Scissor, and I got a lucky critical hit that 1 shot it

It's all fun and games in the monotype runs, until you meet the gym leader that counters your type.... Good luck with Luna.

Except Poison Jab, Poison Fang, Poison Tail, etc, do 0 damage to steel types. Logic and pokemon don't mix well, half of the pokemon that levitate, but don't have the ability levitate, are still hit by Earthquake and other ground type moves. Such as Klingklang, Metagross, Solrock, Ghastly, Haunter, etc.

Of course ^.^ but I don't know if I will need it

Turns out I messed up again, it actually does have sand force (I swear it changed >.<) but I'm still going for the sandstorm set up. I've gotten it to level 65, and it's pretty strong now, I might attempt to take on the battle by spamming rock slide though, since Earthuake would KO my own pokemon (unless I make magnezone use magnet rise)

why would you change reborn's epic shiny sprites ;-;

I have no problem with Fairy types, as I am doing a monosteel run, so I really dont NEED him to have a steel type move. I am going up against charlotte's gym, which is why I was wanting a sand force / sandstorm power (sand doesn't hurt some of my other mons, Steel types OP) EDIT: It has sand RUSH, my bad

I'm going to train a drilbur up to excadrill, it has Sand Force ability, and the moveset I'm thinking is: Sandstorm Earthquake Rock Slide Swords Dance Thoughts?

I watched all 10 hours and lost my sanity 10 hour videos

Dont worry, my backup plan is to get a trick room bronzong with rain dance, should make the fight a LOT easier I can also get a forretress with Toxic spikes, and set those up to help if needed

that would be a good indicator that you might be able to get a shiny one if you tried it enough. Good luck

A Monotype run is a run where you are only allowed to use one type of pokemon, Such as my Steel Monotype run, where my team currently consists of: Empoleon: water / STEEL Steelix: ground / STEEL Escavalier: bug / STEEL Magnezone: electric / STEEL Klingklang: STEEL Metagross: psychic / STEEL on rotation: Excadrill (almost ): ground / STEEL Bronzor (untrained) : psychic / STEEL As you can see, I am only using pokemon that have the STEEL typing, because I thought it would be an interesting and tough challenge. Currently on the fire type gym, so wish me luck

Honestly, I like High Jump Kick on Scrafty, because you can sweep really well with it.I don't know if I would use Dragon Dance if he has Moxie, but that's up to you. Otherwise the moveset looks good

Fighting type I have 2 recommendations: Lucario and Scrafty Srafty with Moxie is a really good sweeper, although he is weak to fighting (but immune to psychic) Lucario is also pretty strong, but he is also weak to fighting (but immune to poison)

You probably named your weavile Vinny

How I understand it is: Person 1 has X pokemon Person 2 has Y pokemon Yash deletes X pokemon from person 1 gamesave, recreates it in person 2 gamesave Yash deletes Y pokemon from person 2 gamesave, recreates it in person 1 gamesave Yash gives person 1 and 2 their new save files, which they replace their current ones with. It's probably a lot more complicated and time consuming than that though
