Sheep

When I was laddering last night I didn't manage to hit focus blast until the fourth attempt, clearly you have an incomplete understanding of how it works. In all seriousness though I freakin' love it.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but after you clear the Tanzan Mountain meteor base the plume fossil becomes unobtainable via that event. The grunts you were looking for weren't in the base, they were elsewhere in the mountain, and now that you've beaten meteor there those two grunts have run off with the rest of them. The fossil is still obtainable in the Agate Circus, but that won't be for a while longer. And unfortunately if you want to load up a back up save in order to get the fossil, it means you'll need to go through that giant Steelix again.

Yeah there's no way Slurpuff stays in RU for long. What I'm really interested in though are the PU drops. Cacturne and Smeargle are going to usher in a new era of suicide leads that compete with Golem so that will be interesting. Or maybe Smeargle will fade to obscurity compared to the stronk Golem while Cacturne becomes more of an offensive pokemon. Muk is going to be great, with banded gunk shot sets or AV sets. Pelipper is likely to ensure every Monferno starts running thunderpunch again, which is bad news for trying to check it with Swanna like I have been. Finally Rotom-Fan is going to completely replace Rotom-Frost because you no longer need to rely on blizzard. And it's gonna be a real pain.

How in all that is good on this earth did you make such an amazing signature!?!?!?! Edit: In hindsight I don't really need a tutorial but just know that I really appreciate it. As for an actual question, who is that in your avatar/sig?

Either, take your pick. We don't know what's coming up in the game so one's as good as the other.

How about this? I haven't tried it but it looks pretty scary. Garchomp-Mega (M) @ Garchompite Ability: Sand Force EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Earthquake - Dragon Claw - Swords Dance - Fire Fang Because who doesn't want M-Garchomp with 120 base speed right?

Even booms aside I can't picture it not being on her team. I'd go as far as saying that it should be her ace, she can still have a bunch of stuff that explodes but I mean come on, an electric cheerleader bird? That goes hand in hand with Julia.

Combusken, Magneton (yes you'll get it soon), Donphan (make sure you common candy down to level 18 after evolving it to grab knock off), and Swoobat (assuming you have simple and calm mind) are all great pokemon. Something that I can personally recommend as one of the best pokemon I've ever used in the early game is Stoutland.

Thoughts on Lurantis?

I don't want to get this thread any further off track but the problem with using that group of pokemon is that they were stolen from citizens of the reborn region. It wouldn't really make sense for Alola forms to be mixed up with them. Anyway in order to contribute to the topic of the thread, Lurantis may turn out to be my favourite grass type pokemon of all time. It's a little disappointing, and more nonsensical, that it isn't bug/grass but at least if I did run it I wouldn't double up on bug with Heracross.

Alright everyone, let me just drop a cautionary line. The majority of discussion here has been great, but there have been a few lines here and there that I probably would have left out of the final edit. Just remember that while you don't have to agree with Kasseopea's perspective, you do need to respect their choices and reasoning.

Wouldn't it be more likely that in Reborn City they are provided through some back alley/black market service ala 7th street? A poacher of exotic pokemon or something like that.

If you were planning a road trip that spanned two days and you could choose three types of savory snack foods, three types of sweet snack foods, two types of beverages, what you had for breakfast on the second day, what you had for lunch on both days, and what you had for dinner on both days, what would the ideal menu consist of?

The city to the east that gets ruined by plants and the police won't let you into until a friend tells them otherwise is actually the Obsidia Ward of Reborn City in pokemon reborn. The first town/city after Gearen in pokemon rejuvenation is Akora or something like that? It's got a whole bunch of martial artists.

When did you first make your way here and how did it happen?

That is only the case in previous episodes. In E15 the Electrike there was replaced by (I think?) Blitzle.

Man I'm pretty cut that the mantis is not a bug type because that thing looks sick! Probably my favorite gen 7 design so far.

I doubt it is going to be "fixed" because to the best of my knowledge it's intentional.

Are you sure you're looking in the right place? The alleyway directly south of the hairdresser's and only accessible through cut/beating the Obsidia Park sequence?

Oh yeah, I forgot that not everyone is playing in LC this week.

I don't think that's a thing, at least I've never heard of the masuda method being implemented in reborn.

You can only trigger either the Litleo event or the Electrike event, not both. Once you interact with Litleo and send it running off elsewhere Electrike becomes unobtainable. If that's what you've done it's time to load up a backup save.

No you can actually get Ditto as a part of the factory puzzle, though I'm not certain on the parameters you need to fulfill before it becomes available. It used to be just do the daycare side quest but recently that hasn't been enough, some other requirement got added in E15.
