Make sure you talk to all the vendors. I was stuck on this for a while in episode 11 too.

Thanks for the welcome! I've been using the forums for a while to help me in game, but I hadn't made an account. Because I've been "around" the forum before, I didn't think to make an intro post for myself. Also, I'll keep the no double posts thing in mind.

I don't think there are any TMs I can put on Machamp, at least not any good ones (Quash, etc). Dynamic Punch on a max attack Machamp can 2HKO most non gym leader pokemon anyway, regardless of type. I guess the occasional ghost type could be a problem, but I should be fine. Also, for whatever reason I thought Water Shuriken was a special attack, so I'll do away with that move right away (Dark Pulse?). And on Zap Cannon, its not really a move I would actually use much. I could replace it with thunder wave though. Thanks Lore. EDIT: Thanks Vinny. I'll definitely take your suggestions on Greninja and Magnezone.I was actually trying to get a Growlithe from the police station with Flash Fire and a good nature, but I got a shiny and forgot to change the nature from Justified. I'm kicking myself for not breeding Knock off onto Machop, but I wasn't even thinking about that at the time. I was stuck on Noel for a LONG time and needed a fighting type threat just to get me past him. Too late now, because like you said I already used a link stone and don't want to use another.

Any recommendations? The natures, EVs, and IVs on each of them are fine. Magnezone: Ability: Sturdy Discharge Flash Cannon Zap Cannon Barrier Greninja: Ability: Protean Water Shuriken Water Pulse Extrasensory Grass Knot Machamp: Ability: No Guard DynamicPunch Cross Chop Scary Face Wide Guard Metagross: Ability: Light Metal - Will be changed asap with an ability capsule Meteor Mash Bullet Punch Zen Headbutt Hammer Arm Arcanine: Ability: Justified Crunch Heat Wave Flare Blitz Outrage Gallade: Ability: Steadfast Leaf Blade Psycho Cut Swords Dance Close Combat In the PC: Quagsire Carracosta Crobat Hariyama Honchkrow Sylveon Mamoswine Rotom

If you're struggling with Shade, you could get the Carvanha from the Magma/Aqua gang event and get it to level 30 so it evolves into a Sharpedo with Crunch. Good luck with that Chandelure though. And, as with any Gym battle, use status effects.
