Nope. I'll go with Ark.

This is cool. I was hoping Buizel would be moved forward, 'cause there's no real point in using it where you used to get it. I've never used one before so I might grab it. I do miss Chinchou though. One of my favorite water types.

Two things. Firstly if you're finding the game too easy 'cause you're EV training maybe you shouldn't be EV training. I'm using a pretty average team with no EV training whatsoever and it takes me several tries to get past each gym leader. Putting EVs on all of the gym leaders pokemon makes it very difficult to win without EV training yourself and I doubt that many people actually do. Secondly go to your options in your main menu and change your battle style from shift to set. This will stop the game from telling you what your opponent is going to send out next and you won't get the option to switch. It's how I play and it's much more challenging.

Oh thank goodness. I was always confused why this wasn't a thing with the original Groudon. What with drought and all. Still, pretty sure ground/fire is terrible defensively.

My thoughts exactly.

Nah, thought I'd drop by. Tempest.

Nope. Sceptile doesn't get U-turn. But according to Godot movepool expansion's a possibility. If it does end up with access to U-turn then yeah, this'll definitely be a thing. Otherwise I don't see much potential in a lead. Being weak to U-turn and frail is a bad quality in a lead. Overall I don't see Sceptile moving much because of this. It'll definitely make it to UU and it'll appear on OU teams that need a Rotom-W check bad enough to sacrifice their mega slot for it. Unfortunately I see a lot of Sceptile's mega points going into both attacking stats. This could make for a great mixed attacker with leaf storm, a la overheat Infernape, but most people will likely run fully physical or fully special sets. I could be wrong though. It's all speculation at this point.

Igglybuff.

You only have to wake one up. Then just sit in front of the hole and keep beating them.

Yes it does. Whismur was the same in episode 11. (and probably is now)

Oh hell yes. No one survives.

Nope. Mikzal.

There's nothing saying there won't be more.

No worries. Yeah, pretty sure that's her.

It's good to note that if people are struggling with Cal you can manipulate the weather to make it rain. This dramatically decreases his difficulty level.

Mega Swampert looks like it could hammer arm something into next week. I like it.

You're meant to go south from there. There's another set of Crustle puzzles down that way.

The Crustles come out of nests, they look like mini mountains with a cave entrance. Basically hit C on the cave entrance to bring a Crustle out. The plants at the beginning of the route won't give you the powder. They're too small, you need the bigger ones further on. If you can't get past the first sequence of stepping stones, try jumping onto the ledge on the bottom edge of the pit.

Try looking in Pokemon Reborn>Graphics>Pictures>Tile Puzzle.

Alright, for the sake of convenience I've condensed everything I know about the changes to the pokemon distribution in episode 12 here. There's a lot of repeated info from earlier in the topic but I thought it might be nice to have it all in one place. Changed/new events: On route 2 you can find: This is by no means a definitive list of everything that's new. Just what I know about, so if I've missed something let me know.

Why would you want that? Are you crazy? Nice pic though.

There's always Ampharos. From what I've experienced Ampharos is always a solid choice.

Just wanted to throw this in. Basically what went through my mind after completing what I thought was the whole Crustle maze.

Thanks for doing this Ark. In my opinion it's something that really did need to be done.
