Noel's Cincinno is pretty much the only Pokemon in the game that I actively despise, well that and Taka's Chatot! can we get rid of that thing early game?
Compound eyes boost the general chance of a Pokemon holding an item, therefore leading with for example a compound eye butterfree that has fainted (because the abbility activates even if the pokemon is fainted) and send out for example a Mighteyna with thief gives you the highest chances of stealing an item from a pokemon without having to catch it.
Without Compound eyes the chance of the enemy even holding an item is lower.
For compound eyes you should try butterfree or scatterbug. for a complete list there is: http://www.serebii.net/abilitydex/compoundeyes.shtml
Serebii is pretty much love for almost everything Pokemon can learn.
Thief can only be learned by two pokemon through level up which are Mighteyena at level 1 and kecleon at level 1 so they would need a heartscale.alternatively almost every pokemon can learn thief from a TM.
(also you are currently at BYXBYSION wasteland)
No, not even close, you should probably be around level 15ish when you have multiple pokemon, Julia loves using selfdestruct/explosion so you need to be pretty well prepared if you are planning a monotype battle with a single pokemon
Currently the next episode is just a vague concept in my mind, but the moment it drops I will probably pull out all the stops and restart Reborn from the beginning and no life it for a few weeks.
because I already know for a certain fact that every new episode that comes out is amazing and gives my inner completionist a field day in researching trough every nook and cranny.
