Cal's mind was probably too clouded by overwhelming guilt and the last thing he wanted to think about was team meteor

So, can we use the mega stone? Or is it like the games and we need a mega bracelet/band/turtleneck to use Mega Evolution too? Cause while bannette is meh I'll happily take that offensive power and priority will-o-wisp

Alright, first off AMAZING episode, but I've expressed that enough in other topics, this is mono. Two major battles in this episode, Blake and Terra. And let me tell you Heracross was the MVP. Once Jynx and Frosslass were out of the way Heracross made quick work of Blake. I had even brought excavalier out of hibernation for the fight, but at the end of the day Heracross dominated. (Even though Excavalier was VERY helpful getting rid of jynx and frosslass to allow that to happen) Overall, tough, but manageable.   Now Terra, oh BOY terra. I had brought back my Leavanny just for this battle to take out threats like Quagsire, but I was so taken back by how prepared RAWRchomp was set for my team. This thing is set to destroy me. Flamethrower OHKO's just about anything i throw out 'cept heracross. So, he was my strategy. I started off with Yanmega, it was easily able to Detect, get a speed boost, and one shot the Nidoking with Bug Buzz. Easy. Then, comes RAWRCHOMP. I go ahead and try and flinch it if I can. If not, Yanmega is dead and I go into Heracross. Megahorn and Close Combat each take out about half of it's health while doing rough skin damage to me. I go ahead and make her waste all of her hyper potions this way, but eventually the rough skin builds up and hera dies. From here I go into Escavalier, and use a revive while she one shots me with Flamethrower. Then, I go to Scolipede. Finish healing up Heracross, and if I live whatever rawrchomp does to me, I go ahead and megahorn it for some damage. Finally, Hera comes in and finishes it off. Now, the threat is finally dead! From here, Leavanny 2HKO's Claydol with X-Scissor, Hera kills Excadrill, Leavanny kills Quagsire, and weakens Hippowdon and Heracross finishes the battle off. Venomoth is there for extra death fodder.   So yeah, this Garchomp turned half my team into death fodder just to kill it. It was a pain, but felt good to overcome. Very glad to see these bosses can be so challenging even late game :)   Yanmega/Scorpio lv71 (Insect Plate) w/ Speed Boost Detect Bug Buzz Air Slash Ancient Power   Scoliopede/Draco lv 72 (Zoom Lens) w/ Speed Boost Strength Protect Megahorn Poison Tail   Heracross/Auriga lv 72 (Scope Lens) w/ Guts Chip Away Brick Break (Now Bulldoze Close Combat Megahorn   Venomoth/Apollo lv 71 (Black Sludge) w/ Tinted Lens Bug Buzz Psychic Sleep Powder Quiver Dance   Escavalier/Orion lv 72 (Quick Claw) w/ Overcoat Reversal Iron Head X-Scissor Swords Dance   Leavanny/Sickle lv72 (None I forgot the item lol) w/ Swarm Protect X-Scissor Leaf Blade Calm mind (Because Leaf Blade was a special move in the gym batte)

I love how the most threatening thing on her team was quagmire X) It was for me too. Once I get around to my bug challenge with her today, I'm going to need to bring toxic or something for that Garchomp

Hm , I wonder if we could Zel back up with a Diglett PULSE. Although that wouldn't help much with their bodies being dead. Also, I thought Aster implied he was leaving Meteor. You see it in the alternate plot line where you refuse to give Blake the ring

So can you only catch one pokemon of that type per route then? And if that route doesn't have any of your type then you're out of luck?

So do you lose if one poke faints from every species of your type? If so that does sound nightmarish

Is there any difference between a monolocke and monorun?

I'm doing a bug run now. It's been a ton if fun and it was cool having to plan around tough opponents like Charolette. Also technician krickrtune owns early game, and Vespiquen helps a lot with the over-leveled pokemon boss battles. I just need my scizor and volc now... Scizor isn't coming till after hardy at least. Volc will be late game I would think

Ame. You outdid yourself, so much applause! It's always worth the wait for these

Oh my bad, I couldn't read the new type chart on my phone earlier lol. I am hyped!

Ame, by any chance could you include Bug being super effective against Poison to the field? Or too late? I don't mind either way but as a bug user it'd be cool

You should reduce the AI to gen 1 too so Dragonites use agility on poison types

People worrying about Amaria >_> If I can be charolette using bug. I'm sure you'll find a way

Bug Scizor, Scolipede, and Volcarona TM: U-turn

Lanturn is freaking OP. Like extremely OP

Ze wait, she is killing me! Please mademoiselle. Release ze episode! (Jk take all the time you need )

Bug, always bug lol. I have a few set members of my team, but the core is usually the same. I'd probably be 2nd or 3rd E4 because i acknowledge that my type isn't exactly final fight epic enough haha. But I wouldn't be first. Anyway team; Scizor 252 hp, 252 atk adamant Leftovers -Swords Dance -Bullet punch -Knock off -u-turn/roost Volcarona Leftovers 252 hp 204 def 52 spe bold Roost Hidden power ground Fiery dance Quiver dance Scolipede Life orb 252 atk 4def 252 spe adamant Protect Rock slide Megahorn Earthquake Armaldo Leftovers 252 hp 252 def 4 spd bold Protect Toxic Rapid spin Stealth rock Galvantula Choice specs 252 spa 4 hp 252 spe timid Thunder Energy ball Bug buzz Hidden power ice Mega Pinsir 252 atk 252 spe 4 hp jolly Return Quick attack Close combat Swords dance If I could use genesect I would change a few pokes around, but sadly I cannot

Another Gym Leader will join team meteor. Hm, well last I checked, Blake seems to use Ice. And we have an Ice leader already back in Spinel town. So, isn't Blake invalidated? Unless they decide they want to kill Serra for some reason. Which I highly doubt Bennet would let happen without a fight, seeing as he has ties with Elias/Team Meteor and would know about it. Also, Ame I have to ask. Is that a PULSE Clawitzer at the top of the site page in the heading?

Amazing as always

May as well update my Monobug Reborn playthrough :)   Beat Samson a while back, didn't save the levels i beat him at, but it turned out easy for me thanks to Yanmega getting some flinch hax in with Air Slash. I was starting to get worried the game wasn't going to be as challenging late game. Then....everything changed when the fire leader attacked. This gym, pretty much required me to prepare in advance. I had already fought it once on my main file. But that super heated field was going to wreck my bugs if left unchecked. (Why could we not have EQ or rock slide yet Ame? ;_; ) I needed 2 pokes for this, one I already had (volbeat), the other i had to back track to catch (Surskit)   So, I get to Charlotte. And use my prankster volbeat w/ damp rock to kill off that field right away and hinder her pokes. Then, masquerain immediately after uses water sport to make her fire useless. The rest of the match was devoted to keeping Masquerain alive. Cause water sport only lasts as long as the poke who used it is out. So, it basically quivered away until it took very little damage from anything. And it worked together with everything else to destroy her. But as sound as this strategy is it still took a while because I had to get around that hp rock Typhlosion was using :/ But it was a lot of fun having to actually strategize for a gym again. Hadn't had much of it lately with psychic and dark being wrecked by my bugs.       Anyway here's the team I won with.   Volbeat/Gemini lv 42 (Damp Rock) w/ Prankster Rain dance  <----- Only thing that matters -------- -------- --------   Masquerain/Aquarius lv 68 (Focus Band) w/ Unnerve Air Slash Rain Dance Quiver Dance Water Sport   Galvantula/Cancer lv 68 (Scope Lens) w/ Compound Eyes Sticky Web Bug Buzz Charge Beam Discharge   Venomoth/Apollo lv 68 (Black Sludge) w/ Tinted Lens Bug Buzz Psychic Sleep Powder Quiver Dance   Crustle/Libra lv 68 (Zoom Lens) w/ Sturdy X-Scissor Flail Slash Rock Wrecker ^No real good moves for it yet   Yanmega/Scorpio lv68 (Insect Plate) w/ Speed Boost Detect Bug Buzz Air Slash Ancient Power   Reserves (there are many but I will just list he ones at decent levels):   Escavalier/Orion lv 63 (Quick Claw) w/ Overcoat Reversal Iron Head X-Scissor Swords Dance   Heracross/Auriga lv 69 (Scope Lens) w/ Guts Chip Away Brick Break Close Combat Megahorn   Scoliopede/Draco lv 68    <----My pride and joy :) (Zoom Lens) w/ Speed Boost Strength Protect Megahorn Poison Tail       Can't wait for the next episode!

New ability capsule available at the very beginning of the game. One is in a barrel right outside the factory door. (the first factory you go inside)

Note, Buizel is the new prize for teaming with the Magma gang and doing the Ms Cradburry house raid. Not chinchou :,(

Just thought I'd leave one final update, I beat Wallace, but sadly I can't go on to beat steven because my emulator won't work after it restarts when beating Wallace, But overall, Sidney and Glacia were easy, Phoebe required a lot of Armaldo abuse and a few ethers on ancient power, Drake required some stun spore action and a max bulk up Heracross. Wallace, well, the Milotic required some careful playing around and planning, but Shedinja completely walled his big problems like Wailord, Gyrados, and even Wiscash. So, yeah no big deal.   Beautifly lv46 Armaldo lv48 Heracross lv 45 Ninjask lv 43 Shedinja lv 44 Dustox lv 34   Added notes: Tate and Liza were much harder than expected, the Claydol was a bulky monster and packed ancient power, it took a while to set up a good strategy for them. Juan was cake.

:D
