Usually I would recommend Venomoth before Episode 14 as it was a monster against Aya with Quiver Dance. Now with Move Relearner avaible after Aya I´m not sure anymore. Also Trubbish will be really great for Florina and Arbok for Corey´s Crobat. Also listen to Etesian.

I´m pretty sure Klink is only avaible in the deeper parts of the Railnet behind breakable rock. This means he only has acces to Klink after beating Shelly. If my memories serve right, the Power Plant is only avaible if you have to go to Shade. Otherwise it´s closed. Also he need to beat atleast Noel to get an Item which let him go to a deeper part of the power plant where he can evolve Magneton. Also I her Team is Masquerain, Illumise, Anorith, Volbeat, Yanmega and Wormadam. Evolving Prinplup is a must as well as setting up Stealth Rocks with Onix. If Shelly´s Ilumise uses Rain Dance you have a good chance of doing heavy damage against her Yanmega (If you manage to set up Stealth Rocks) and Anorith (Which has swift swim) with Brine and will probably do heavy damage to her other Pokemon as well. Also I would concentrate on healing Empoleon with one of your other Pokemon as it has the highest chance of survival and Onix is probably the first one to die in the battle.

Route 2 and the amount of grinding you have to do if you want to use other Pokemon you caught in later parts in the game.

Zorua doesn´t count as a gift Pokemon because I have to catch it while I battle it and I have already got my Lapis Ward and North Obsidia catches where you can catch him if I remember correctly. Also I expected a lot more deaths and expect many more in the future. Atleast there are a lot of useful gift Pokemon in the game. Also I´m scared of Shade because I have no Idea how his Team changed or if it even changed it. He probnably still has his Rotom, Gengar and Chandelure. He probably also has his Gollett so he can, if his Short-Circuit Field changes to a Factory Field, change it batck to a Short-Circuit filed with Magnitude.

Update: Aster and Eclipse got sweeped by Zero (wanted to level him up for Power Gem) and Victoria got sweeped by Sunny with Acrobatics. The Fear died by fighting some random trainer with a Murkrow. and resorted to level up Paz which should come in handy for Kiki. Did the Team Aqua sidequest to get an extra Pokemon later although I´m pretty satisfied with my Team as for now. Shelly herself was easy with Flame Burst from Growlithe burning her field and Solidus setting up Stealth Rocks. In hindsight I better would have just use Emolga from the start and not bother with Stealth Rocks even though her Yanmega could have been dangerous otherwise. Solidus died to a combination of a strengthend Struggle Bug and a weakend Energy Ball which is a shame because I wanted to have a Steelix later. Oh well atleast her Team got wrecked by the burning field and by Acrobatics. Now I have to train a new Pokemon. Probably Poochyena because it and my Purrloin are the only Dark type Pokemon I have for Shade. Although someone can recommend me someone else.

The fight against Taka didn´t really go as well as I hoped it would. Got a Numel (which I named The Fury) to take care of the Forest Field. Sadly it died to a Geodude from a Grunt (don´t ask why I didn´t switch it out). Taka´s first two Pokemon (Liliep and Chatot which got slightly nerfed) went down pretty fast. Against Tangrowth I send out Raven. Sadly he died to a +4 Vine Whip after taking a Acid Spray and the Tangrowth got taken out by Raven´s Aftermath. This wouldn´t have happend if I had my Numel. The double Battle against Zel and Taka went much better because Fury Cutter + Metronome = OP. Putting Claceon (Zel´s Pokemon were slightly nerfed) to sleep while setting up Light Screen with Kaz and then killing even Taka´s Chatot ie one hit. Corey was easy. Meryl (Woobat) used Gust to terminate the poison mist and K Oing Skrelp. Against Croagunk I send out Sunny (Emolga). Paralyzed Croagunk and then spamming Double Team. His Team got then wrecked by a combination with Nuzzle and Electro Ball without him touvhing me.

Good news and bad news everyone: The good news are I beat Florinia and got my second badge. The bad news are 2 of my Pokemon died to Florinias Ferroseed. Hal and Raiden (Herdier). Fern=Fury Cutter Spam. Florinia= Fury Cutter Spam or so it should be if her Cradily didn´t survived it with almost no hp. The Fear survived just barely a Smack Down from it which forced me to switch him out against her Breloom who Kaz took care of also with barely any hp. Against Forroseed I send out Raiden but instead of healing The Fear I decided to lower it attack and Raiden died to a combination of Sand Tomb, Leech Seed, Sandstorm and Pin Missle. The same happened with Hal although this time I used him to heal The Fear. Forroseed and Cacnea both got K.Oed by Fury Cutter. My Team: Volgin Level 19 Pick Up Quiet Charm Charge Beam Spark Nuzzle The Fear Level 25 Technician Careful Fury Cutter Struggle Bug Sing Cut Kaz Level 20 Keen Eye Bashful Covet Light Screen Charge Beam Psybeam Raven Level 19 Aftermath Mild Sludge Toxic Spikes Acid Spray Pound Solidus Level 19 Sturdy Docile Curse Rock Throw Rock Tomb Stealth Rock Strangelove Level 20 Swift Swim Quiet Water Gun Disable Confusion Water Pulse Box:

Big Boss died to a Spinda. Lost the fucking speedtie which I won 2 times in a row. Just because I was a bit greedy. Atleast you showed your usefullness against the Scraggy gang. I will make Diamonds from your Ashes and take revenge on every Spinda which I will ever see in Reborn. Atleast everyone else is okay and Solidus can now truly be the boss who surpass Big Boss himself. Cain got swept by Kaz with Charge Beam and Confusion and the Pulse Tangrowth got taken down by a combination of The Fear´s Struggle Bug and Raven´s Acid Spray. Also screw you Ame for not letting me fish at Coral Ward.

Aster and Eclipse almost killed half my Team because for some reason I decided to beat Elekid first even though half my Team is weak to fire, but somehow I kept my Pokemon alive.. Hal was really usefull against them because of electric immunity and protecting Ferns pokemon with Water Sport against Magby. Julia on the other Hand got sweeped by Hal´s Water Puls because she decided to use Charge Beam against him.

Only the first Fossil I find will be counted. I limit myself to only one Pokemon at the arcade. Gotta go fast you know. Well no one died till now but a few came close to because of Metronome Roar of Time and a Level 11 Clauncher. Fern got wrecked by Fury Cutter Spam. I also got a Lightningrod Goldeen which will be usefull against Aster and Eclipse. My Team: Big Boss (Kept you waiting, Huh?) Level 12 Overgrow Mild Rose Incense Tackle Synthesis Poison Powder Razor Leaf (Opal Ward catch) Snake (I´m no Hero. Never was, never will be) Level 10 Run Away Hardy Bite Quick Attack Focus Energy Tail Whip Volgin (Kuwabara, Kuwabara) Level 11 Pick Up Quiet Charm Growl Bide Quick Attack The Fear (I have waited long for this day) Level 13 Swarm Careful Fury Cutter Struggle Bug Growl Bide (Hero who survived a Roar of Time) Kaz (What took you so long?)

There are 2 fights you can lose and still continue the story because the opponents Pokemon are to strong (Level 70 Garchomp when your Pokemon are around 40 and a Level 80 ARceus when your Pokemon are around 55-60). I´m not goign to try to win those battle. I updated th OT with Locations. Edit: Also fuck Metronome. A Pokemon of mine almost died to a Roar of Time.

That´s why I will use it. Also see rule 5.

I´m really bored and wanted to do a Nuzlocke for a long time now. So I decided I do a Nuzlocke of Reborn which will absolutely fail. Rules: 1. Catch only the first Pokemon in every area (Someone should probably clarify me what counts at seperate area in this game) 2. If a Pokemon faints it will be put in the "Death Box" 3. Every Pokemon must have a Nickname. (Naming theme will be Metal Gear Solid Characters) 4. Gift Pokemon don´t count to rule 1 (every Pokemon I get without fighting it will count as Gift Pokemon) 5. I´m not trying to win battles I´m suppose to lose. 6. No going back to previous episodes or something like that. 7. No Clauses. I already decided on my Starter which will be Chikorita which I never used in my entire life. Edit: Here´s a List of all the Locations currently avaible according to the Nuzlocke Guidelines: Opal Ward Peridot Ward Underground Railnet Central/South Obsidia Obsidia Slums Coral Ward Onyx Ward Jasper Ward Malchous Forest Beryl Ward Rhodocrine Jungle Lapis Ward North Obsidia Ward Grand Stairway Abandoned Power Plant Apophyll Beach Pyrous Mountain Azurine Island Byxbysion Wasteland Chrysolia Forest Tanzan Mountain Tanzan Cove Spinel Town Route 1 Aventurine Woods Citae Arc-d'Astra 7th Street Subseven Sanctum Iolia Valley Agate Circus Route 2 Ametrine Mountain

Shades theme. I know it´s the Gym Leader theme backwards with a few notes added at the beginning but it´s still my favourite. The one just before you battle Radomus is pretty great too.

Gengar can´t learn Sludge Wave. Not through Tm and not through breeding. The only Gengar with with Sludge Wave you will encounter in Reborn is Aya´s. Somehow she got either a Dreamworld Ghastly or a the Halloween Gengar from Generation 6

Nothing Venomoth has to worry about.

Easiest: Aya , Luna Hardest: Charlotte, Noel

He does have it but not as his ace. Hardy - Lunatone and Solrock Adrien- Florges Ciel - Altaria Titania - Scizor Terra - Not sure but probably Garchomp

Didn´t she have a Gothitelle at the Psychiatry?

Aster - Magmortar Eclipse - Electivire

Lin: Hydreigon Serra: Frosslass Fern: Not sure. I think the last time we fought him his Serperior was at a higher level than Roserade so I go with Serperior. Bennet: Currently Butterfree but he will probably have a Volcarona as his ace the next time we fight him. Elias: We only saw one Pokemon of him and it was a Ditto Victoria: Emboar ZEL: His Eeveelutions Mine is Venomoth because it´s my favourite Pokemon.

Frozen Pokemon getting Onehit K.O.-ed confirmed.

Well we should wait until every Gym Leader has his own field (which should happen at Episode 15) so Ame can balance there team aroud it. Also the trainer AI is still be worked on. Even so it wouldn´t stop people to build their Team to counter them so they can steamroll the Gym Leader.

Ampharos with Cotten Guard and Charge Beam almost swept Noel for me.

I´m guessing she will be a regular E4 member together with Bennet, Elias and someone else. Probably Blake. An I also think Fern will be Champ because I would like to have a Rival as a Champion again and between Fern and Cain, Fern makes more sense. Edit: Also didn´t Ame said she only gaver herself a minor role?
