I've seen the AI swap out in cases you use a Super-effective move with charging turn.

e.g., I used Dig with my Sandslash vs Heliolisk. Half the times I did so, it swapped out (in Rejuvenation, but still).

A nuzlocke/mono in such games are already punishing/hard enough, so Set would be really masochistic, if I'm allowed to put it this way. Especially in a nuzlocke, in a mono you may manage, be tough vs the type disadvantage leaders, but manageable with correct roster. Nuzlocke... NOPE!

I might try it in my Normal monorun though. When I actually find time to start it...

I didn't try it on my nuzlocke because I had little confidence in my ability to beat the game in a nuzlocke with set mode on, it'd have turned a certain boss that I had already had trouble with into an absolutely nightmare :unamused:

Sometimes, I feel bad ("cheat") for playing on Shift. I did once, in my Danganronpa themed Rejuvenation run, which was on Intense difficulty as well. Then, I checked my battle recordings. I noticed that I never really switch out after OHKO'ing a 'mon. I felt less bad afterwards.

What's Nasty Plot on Decidueye for?

Originally I got it for Terra, to baton pass it to Jellicent, I just forgot to give it something else over that. It's never really needed the last moveslot, so I never changed it lol.

Yeah, Trick Room is a godsend, but 70 Base is kinda that awkward middle field where flipping turn order can both aid and harm you, depending on what the enemy is fielding.

Got lucky with a Brave Nature so it -did- underspeed most opponents, but fair. I mostly just really like Deci's design and it was the only starter for a ghost mono. Made not picking up Trevenant/Gourgeist easier too.

Good to hear he's holding up anyway, since I'm planning to do my own Ghost Mono. Some time. Eventually. I'll get to it, I swear.

Finally getting to face one of the three major antagonists in an all-out fight does wonders to make the whole thing feel climactic.

Steamrolling the douchebag duo with proper setup also has a pretty big catharsis factor.

Tbh, wtc is shitty cause of titania. Taka tries his best to make it bearable with him asking for a battle in the end but we all know how this decision affects later parts of the game . Mansion battles does indeed give you a great feeling though 

There's ways around it for sure, but she's forced me to change quite a lot of my sets heavily to beat her in both runs, something like, no other boss in the game's forced me to do. Granted a part of this IS due to the field being much more drastic in raw changes.

Yes, that's true. I like having to plan for a certain leader. Reborn is almost the only game in which it is (with field effects, AI changes and new seed strategies) impossible to win all leaders with the same movesets and six mons. You just can't find replies for EVERYTHING anymore. Or, if you can, you must be extremely skilled/experienced in Reborn. It is still possible to run only 6-7 mons for an entire run, but you will have to change movesets heavily for some battles, as you said.

This calls for an emergency Topsy-Turvy, I believe?
