    Just finished E18 and.... the Titania encounter in North Aventurine?  What the hell was up with that? Any speculations?

    Spoiler

    If you're talking about her meeting with a member of Team Meteor, she explains at some point (I think in her gym) that she has been feeding them false information in order to keep Amaria safe and to get information from Meteor about their plans. Essentially working as a double agent.

    Hi, i just got back into playing reborn again after a long hiatus and would like to change around my team a little bit, Im mainly looking for a good iv competitive ready hydregion and nagenediel/swampert (they dont need to have evs).  i have these fully iv'd (not ev'd) pokemon to offer https://gyazo.com/b164215c5179f3d0884759280928be3d (the medicham is shiny but not iv'd)

    I'd be happy to donate some perfect IV level 1 Pokemon or I can trade you something you want for that Dragonite.

    Hidden Power's typing is determined by your Pokemon's IVs. You have to change those to change the Hidden Power typing.

    Yes, I think everyone understands that. However, this isn't a law of the universe and can be changed. Hence why I'm asking if there's a mod to do so.

  5. I'm not sure where to put this thread but this seems as good a place as any.
    Is there a way to change a Pokemon's Hidden Power type without rebreeding it? I'm trying to get HP Electric on a Slowking but really don't want to have raise another up to 90 and EV it.

    Slowking would be nice. Also since you're basically limited to Water typed physical attacks, having something with Psyshock could be helpful when your opponent has a special tank with resistance to Water or Electric.

    Jellicent might be good, too. Immune to Fighting and has Water Spout, while your opponents are super slow.

    Blastoise with Torrent+Water Spout underwater would be as devastating as Typhlosion with Flash Fire+Eruption on Burning Field.

    Very true. I hadn't thought of that. Maybe Blastoise can actually be good again. Thanks for the ideas.

    From my experience, Underwater teams can easily be defeated by turning the field to Murkwater Surface. I remember there being like two or three such battles in Rejuvenation, and I almost lost each one until I sent my Tentacruel in. With Sludge Wave I changed the field which caused huge passive damage every turn to my opponents, and with Dive I stalled for time. I somehow managed to beat them with only Tentacruel.

    So you should plan something to counter this, like putting a Poison or Steel type in your team, or use Whirlpool which changes Murkwater to normal Water Surface and is boosted underwater as well.

     

    Other things I could think of:

    - Ferrothorn/Forretress since Fire attacks don't work (Scizor would be bad due to physical attacks being weaker)

    - Wash Rotom with Electro Ball. It's faster and has higher SpAtt than Lanturn

    - Water Absorb Seismitoad/Quagsire: immune to both Electric and Water (since Water types lose their Water resistance on the field)

    - Lapras with Water absorb and Thunderbolt

     

     

    I hadn't thought of the Murkwater risk. Ferrothorn would fit really well and would pair well with Seismitoad and Quagsire. Maybe throw in an Assault Vest Slowking to tank Focus Blast and Aura Spheres? Lapras is a good idea but I don't think it has the stats to be much use unless using something similar to Amaria's build. Or maybe Whirlpool with a Binding Band and Rest to stall.

  8. As the title says, I'm looking for ideas for an Underwater team. I have a few Pokemon I'd like to try but can't decide on what to put in the team with them.

    Sliggoo - Hydration with max HP and Sp. Def, Eviolite, Rest, Toxic, Infestation, and maybe Rain Dance in case someone tries to change the field.

    Lanturn - Volt Absorb with max HP and Sp. Att, Assault Vest, Thunderbolt/Discharge, Scald, Electro Ball, and Signal Beam/Dazzling Gleam

    Vaporeon - Hydration, max HP and Sp. Def with Wish, Scald, Rest, and Toxic/Rain Dance with Leftovers or Damp Rock depending on the final move.

    Any ideas, thoughts, or advice is appreciated.

    I think Ame changed it for a few reason:

     

    1. Because most of them ended up diversifying their teams anyway so why not do it from the get go.
    2. Since they're not gym leaders so they wouldn't need to stick with their typing

    Cain and Cal used to be gym leaders and Julia, Florinia, Aya, Radomus, Luna, and Serra are current gym leaders. One or two Pokemon that don't fit the monotype mold are necessary to keep the rivals from being more than a minor speed bump. Changing their entire team from the beginning of the game is something else.

    To reassure you, only the first five that I listed have majorly shifted away from a single typing.  The rest really only diverge from their original type by one or two pokemon max.  If anything, a lot of these trainers have specific motifs that suit them more than a standard type, and Ame probably chose to prioritize expressing those motifs and giving their teams more flexibility.  For example, Arclight having a Noivern reflects him more because of its theme of sound.  Or Aya adopts a Lycanroc onto her team, which serves to express her connection with Hardy on the battlefield rather than just in her dialogue.  While most still remain central around one type, a few changes to their team just serve to translate their character into their battle style, and I think that's definitely helped to improve the storytelling, if only at least by a small amount.

    Those two examples make a lot of sense and I hadn't thought of it that way. However, that's still only two examples. Maybe I'll see more when I come across those characters but so far I haven't seen any noticeable themes. Victoria especially throws a wrench in that idea.

  11. 3 minutes ago, Tacos said:

    I think many characters shifted away from monotype in episode 17.  These include but may not be limited to:

    • Cain
    • Fern
    • Victoria
    • Sigmund
    • Cal
    • Blake
    • Arclight

    Some characters also have shifted away slightly from monotype after your first battle with them:

    • Julia
    • Florinia
    • Aya
    • Radomus
    • Luna
    • Serra

    I forgot about Sigmund and Cal but my current playthrough isn't far enough to battle any of the others. It's a shame that they all moved away from using a set type. That added an interesting bit to their characters. I wonder why Ame decided to do that?

    I recall they did start with a Monotype (Poison and Fight, respectively) but as the story progressed they diversified their teams as Fern did. Did it change in the most recent episode?

    Cain used the water starter that he rescued but other than that, both he and Victoria stuck to a monotype team. This was the case in episodes 1-17. Victoria doesn't even have a fighting starter now.

  13. Cain and Victoria no longer use a specific type of Pokemon (with the exception of Oshawott/Popplio) which was a great part of their character before Episode 18. It irks me that they were changed considering they'd used a monotype team for the first eight or so years of production only to change so close to the end.

    I seem to remember a tile on the floor that didn't show your reflection, but I can't remember if it was related to this or just a bug

    Oh wow, you're right. No reflection in that whole section.

  15. Just now, wcv said:

    The one on the right is to the right of the one on the left. 😛

     

    (Sorry, been rereading Pearls before Swine.)

    Aw, but you're forgetting that the one on the left is to the left of the one on the right. And seeing as this is a mirror, it matches perfectly.

  16. Just now, Carrotcake said:

    Maybe it's the bookshelves. The left side is hued blue and the right side is hued pink. However, the bookshelves have a blue hue on both sides. This is the only answer I can come up with.

    I tried that, but the bookshelves don't line up with the hole so it can't be right.

  17. So I sat here and stared at this room for far too long before deciding to break every wall in the place until I found the right one (break enough stuff and you'll eventually get through, right?). Well, after finding the correct mirror (and a lifetime of bad luck), I'm still unable to spot the difference that's supposed to help us avoid millions of glass shards in our faces. Maybe someone sees something I don't?

    Rules/Field effect: I prefer No Field, but if you want to play something specific we can talk about it (I may need time to breed a team, but I'm mostly fine with the few I got and I'm pretty fast with teambuilding).

     

    I usually play singles but I can also play doubles, 6vs6 is better. 

    I'll battle you. I'm mostly available on the weekends and will battle on any field.
