Lost Lore

1. Dratini would be obtainable. (That's not actually happening until after the Elite Four, but I can keep dreaming.) 2. Just to fuck with people, I'd remove Bulbasaur, Torchic, Chimchar and Froakie as starter options. They're overused, anyway. <3 ...It should be illegal to still be that fabulous while wearing that ridiculous hat.

Might want to add that Zoroark is very effective against Shade, too. It's quick + gets Night Daze from the move relearner right off the bat. Also, are you sure that Chandelure has Confuse Ray? In Episode 10.5, it definitely used Hidden Power against my Gyarados... (I can't tell you what type it was, beyond the fact that it was neutral on him) so unless it was changed between then and now...

Yyyep, you can breed for TMs if the base form of the Pokemon you're breeding can learn them. So for instance, since Corsola can learn Earthquake via TM, you can breed Earthquake onto it if the father has learned it via level up.

Actually, building off of that, you can chain-breed for Earthquake. Marshtomp/Swampert/Wooper -> Corsola -> Archen P.S. This is kinda the wrong section for that...

Clefable's Flamethrower. How dare you do that to Lord Helix...

...So dying souls offer the keys to your gain... ...Let not them suffer to the poison in vain... I never actually found out what the hell that even meant, though... I wasn't really paying attention, so I didn't even notice the PULSE there until recently. Sure enough, the other day when I went back there, though, I had an "OH" moment. I don't have an explanation for the teleporting stuff (that's a wee bit too far from Spinel Town for it to be Abra's influence, and that's the only teleporting incident we've had) but the sludge covering Byxbysion could easily be Mr. Biggles influence, and likely is.

...Arcanine couldn't learn Earthquake, the last time I checked...? Would recommend Wild Charge or Close Combat on Arcanine (both would require some rather creative breeding if you wanted them now, but you said endgame, so...) and I'll agree with Earthquake on Archeops.

Well: -There's one in Peridot Ward, in a rock right next to a building. I don't remember the specific location, though... I think it was near the Pokemon Center? Not right by it, though. -There's one in Obsidia Park, on the left side. I think it's hidden in a bush. -There's one Under the Grand Stairway, but I don't know the exact location of it... I just know it's obtainable before Shelly, so Rock Smash isn't a requirement. -There's one somewhere on... Route 1, specifically. Not either part of Aventurine Woods, definitely Route 1. There's also one more... somewhere else (I think it's on Apophyll Beach), but I'm derping and I don't remember where it is. There are a lot hidden around Reborn, so it's hard to keep track of them all...

Nidoking's Sheer Force-boosted Sludge Wave.

There is also a hidden one in Beryl Cave, near a lever. That's probably the easiest one you can find right now.

Mega Aromatisse Type: Fairy Ability: Aroma Veil Normal stats: 101/72/72/99/89/29 Mega stats: 101/72/102/139/119/29 (+30 Defense, +40 Special Attack, +30 Special Defense) Took a peek at that list, picked one I figured I could take a crack at. (I debated trying one for Aegislash too, but I don't think I'm worthy...)

The Ranger games don't get enough love, but they have some lovely tunes, too. So have some Guardian Signs music.

Espeon's Psychic. ...Lol, wait, HAIRyama? Whazzat?

You need to go to 7th Street first... you've not unlocked Iolia Valley yet. I believe Radomus gave you a hint as to where it was, but if you weren't listening to him... then I shouldn't help you. ...Okay that's rather mean, here:

I only fought Serra once in Episode 10... and I had Drought Ninetales, so I obviously didn't have difficulty with her. Don't want to think about how hard she would've curb-stomped me without it... Also at the above post, one word: Gyarados. Otherwise, fighting Taka's hell-Chatot has always given me entirely too much grief. Bringing something with Thunder Wave to keep it from getting set up and sweeping my team is almost a necessity. Assuming I don't get Taunted first, in which case, I'm winging it. ...Don't even talk to me about the double battle with Taka and ZEL, either. That's worse. Frbgfgl overpowered Eeveelutions...

...Creative use of Smeargle can get you a few movesets that would otherwise be unobtainable. Just so ya know. Not that that's what I'd call convenient, because those are kinda rare. Anyway, Venusaur can run that set just fine outside of sun, too. Although Sleep Powder's usefulness has diminished because of the sleep turns being dropped down to a maximum of 3 + its accuracy leaves much to be desired. But it's handy if you can get it down to buff up with Growth for a turn or two, if it sticks. As for Swords Dance + Bullet Seed on a Breloom: Sandslash/Zangoose/Leafeon/anything in the Field egg group that gets Swords Dance -> Seedot -> Sunkern (level up for Bullet Seed as a Sunflora) -> Shroomish ...Brb, going Shroomish hunting.

Y'all are mean, picking Sirius. Since the majority have ruled for you to fight him, though, go ahead. Also, have a Flareon. This will pretty much be your only chance to use an Eeveelution, so... let's give you one that's strong against Ice.

Houndoom's abilities suck, but the best to opt for is Flash Fire. And... something like this, I guess? Houndoom Lonely/Naughty (you're kinda forced to run mixed unless you breed, so... I'd go for that Attack buff, but you can do +Speed with Hasty/Naive, too) -Crunch/Foul Play (you can switch it with Dark Pulse when you get the TM, too) -Flamethrower -Thunder Fang -Howl? Nasty Plot? Something else? I've never actually used mixed Houndoom in Reborn, since I bred for mine... but something like this? There is a 70% chance I have no idea what I'm doing, it's only fair to warn you.

Mightyena army, huh? No one will ever call them useless again. If you really want them to clean house, find yourself one of those two hidden Heart Scales from earlier on in the game and teach one Crunch. Because Crunch is crazy over-powered. I'm not kidding. You think Bite is strong, Crunch is worse + comes with the chance of a Defense drop. My Mightyena cleaned house with it. Also good luck Vs. ZEL & Taka, you're going to need it. Only beat them by stalling with Sand-Attack from Prankster Liepard + setting up with Hone Claws... that's how I beat a lot of the early game, actually, by being as obnoxious as I possibly can. It worked, so no complaints here.

Any of Noel's Pokemon? I'll give you the birds, but the rest (sans flinch hax from Cinccino which is annoying), not so much. But hell-Chatot I can agree on. That thing is the bane of my existence. (Just imagine if it had Boomburst instead of/alongside Chatter... *shudder*) Let's see... That Arceus (I am stubborn and refuse to side with El, so...), Florinia's Cradily (more annoying than anything else, but it's fun coming up with inventive ways to null Curse + out-stall it), Shade's Chandelure, and... ...And that goddamn Hyper Beaming Abra. Why. What. Why would you. Why is it level 100. It can't take a hit for anything, but it still nukes half of my team with that before I manage to take it down. /Reborn is suffering

Welcome to the insanity that is Reborn. And none of us bite, really. Well, I will, if you ask me to. I don't see why you would, but, to each their own. (P.S. Your avatar... Delphox does not get anywhere near enough love~)

Hmm... Have a Spiritomb. (We're all going out of our way to help you with Aya, looks like... all these Poison counters~)

Going to be honest- Kricketune is my favourite Bug-type, and I still have yet to use one in Reborn... although Technician-boosted Fury Cutters demolishing things in the early game makes sense. Considering how weak Florinia's team (bar Phantump) and two-thirds of ZEL/Taka's team is to Bug. (The latter case is something I had overlooked until I sent out Dewott and started stacking Fury Cutters... I was amused. Very amused.) As for Gyarados/Gardevoir... the latter is admittedly a member on my team in my main file, but I have never really actively used the former, since Reborn isn't exactly starved for Water-types, and there are literally so many other options I'd rather use more. So it's as much of a matter of opinion as everything else, when it comes to building an in-game team- you use what you want, not something else because it's more powerful than the other options you have. (Gyarados isn't, actually- I used Azumarill for a good portion of the game and that thing slays. Hard.)

Rampardos' Surf. (Not because it's actually useful, just because it's amusing.)
