I bred a shiny Lucario in E14 which at the time, the sprite had ki aura and was black and maroon. It looked so sick that even though I had better offensive physical options, I still ran with that stupid swords-dance + extremespeed + hi jump kick set. Come E15 (or E16), the sprite changes to light blue and silver. I was so disappointed.

Wait, so where's the first electirizer?

Thanks, professor. You're the best.

Is there a Stick that's located in-game? It's one of the ingredients necessary for the Spyce Restaurant sidequest. I could have sworn I had one earlier but turns out that it was a Thick Club. Anyone know where to get one? Thanks

Of those you listed, Gallade would be my pick, as my Gallade has done some serious damage with swords dance + close combatting entire teams to death. But if you wanted type coverage, I would do the prequest to get a beldum and train it to Metagross, as that gives you Psychic, Fighting, and Steel just on level-up moves. Aside from both of those, maximum bulk + type coverage is achieved by Scrafty, as you could either go Bulk Up or Dragon Dance (event only, you'd need to reset for the egg move) and end up destroying teams with Crunch / Hi Jump Kick / elemental punches. Personally, I don't like Sylveon as much as the others, mostly because Glaceon is an insanely hard hitter (especially with frost breath) and I feel like it would be better for you to go with diverse type coverage over a hyper voice fairy type.

This is one of the most fun puzzle sidequests in the game. Go attack it, my man.

There were two mons I used for my Arceus battle. 1: Impostor ditto (get from ditto sidequest in the second peridot factory 2: Metal Burst Sturdy Bastiodon both of these got the trick done for me. but I had to train the Ditto to a respectable level to make sure it could to decent damage back to the Arceus, and I needed to EV train the Bastiodon in HP as well.

this is the week of hype. Nintendo Switch (NX) trailer. Pokemon Sun/Moon datamined. Sombra ARG back in works. Oh, and most importantly, REBORN EPISODE 16 IS ALMOST HERE.

Much thanks! My friend sprited it for me, it's supposed to be a rough image of what I look like in real life. Thanks, but I'm no stranger to EV training. I'm just saying EV training in this game is slow, even if you're using power items. When I EV train attackers I slap a power bracer / power lens on and go to town on woobats in the subrailnet, and then round out with power anklets. Still, the process is pretty slow. I was wondering if there was a pokerus shortcut out there (like in Zeta/Omicron where there's a pokerussed corsola mid-game) and whether that could make the process faster. Man, I miss hordes. But woe is me, at least I've reached the day where I put in more work for a fanmade game than I do for an official game. Powersaves basically lets me treat the console titles as fanmade games tbh.

Has anyone here actually lucked into getting a pokerus mon? EV training is so slow, I'm just waiting for the day we get online trading so that someone can spread the wealth.

Pokemon I hate: bulky dark types or pokemon that always seem to win in stall battles. That list goes as following in terms of Most hated to Hated but not as much: 1. Mandibuzz 2. Sableye (both mega and rega) 3. Skarmory 4. Blissey (fuck you, 4th gen.) 5. Umbreon (no seriously, fuck you, 4th gen.) so mostly bulky dark types. in terms of just "worst" pokemon, I've got to go with noibat. It's so useless for a dragon/flying, and you're stuck dragging it around for 48 levels until it's useful. Of course, you could come back for it later in-game, but for a game that tantalizes you by dangling a fucking *dragon* at level 5 with little options, and then you slowly realize that dragon is trash... DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!!!

Wow, that looks really, really good. Way better than the default animations that RPG maker I assume gave (because I've seen them in other RPG maker games) -- they looked too realistic for a game that's all sprites and cartoons. And I hate to compare, but between that one animation and its style and the few animations that were done for Insurgence (off the top of my head, the ball/blast moves [energy ball, shadow ball, moonblast, focus blast] and the pulse moves), this one blows them out of the water... sorry Suze.

as a roserade user in my 2nd playthrough yes hell yes fuck yes

op pls you're reminding me of that penguin of doom girl

Agreed. I've been replaying pokemon and kingdom hearts games over and over, and a decade and a half after those franchises relatively came out I'm finally not really feeling up to the task. Pokemon's easy when it's not a balls-to-the-wall game like reborn, but then there's little fun on your 18th or 19th replay of emerald due to repetition because I hate doing nuzlockes (they burn me out even more quickly). Kingdom Hearts is super fun, but now I've started pushing myself to do critical / proud / no exp runs and I burn out super quickly. I ran through kh2fm pretty easily on critical... but kh1fm is destroying me. i just deferred to dedicating my time to splatoon, 24/7. I can never burn out on that game.

i have no clue. I just like the move. It fits well with the theme of super powerful max aura lucario. I'll probably change it for Extremespeed. That's a sexy sexy vileplume. G'damn even bred mooonblast onto it. You could even get sunny day for the lols so that your move type matches your vileplume's petals

@Lostelle I'm actually quite surprised at the amount of non-water mons that CAN learn water pulse. You can get serene grace Togekiss + Jirachi throwing out confuse hax like it's nobody's business. http://www.serebii.net/attackdex-xy/waterpulse.shtml

It actually does thanks to the Agate Circus move tutors

I did, in fact; I had to use a different PC since my main PC actually uses a slower processor making CE's max multiplier ~2.0, whereas this other PC could actually push it up to 5x speed. It made it much quicker but I did the entire thing over around a weekend. It was hell. And I'll see about the shadow ball thing; I actually put Water Pulse on there for the longest time. Lucario should get mega launcher; it learns literally all of the boosted moves except for Origin Pulse.

As of Episode 15, there is a Lucario sidequest in Ametrine city where you can obtain a Riolu egg. This is where they finally moved the Riolu event after Riolu being available early in-game in old, old episodes. But, since it's an egg, soft-resetting is PRETTY darn difficult. So, I chain-bred for decent IVs. And I ended up with THIS stud. Unfortunately, I didn't put on egg moves... and this Lucario was MALE. I needed to breed with Hitmonlee and then Hitmonchan to get a moveset of Bullet Punch, High Jump Kick, Blaze Kick, Swords Dance (learns from level up). Breeding this with a ditto gives you a Tyrogue with High Jump Kick. This didn't really matter in the first place, since if you want bullet punch + blaze kick + hjk on a Lucario, you breed this with a Lucario first to get a riolu with Blaze kick + hjk (Hitmonchan doesn't inherit Blaze Kick). So I take THIS Give it some alone time with THIS (By the way, do you guys know how difficult it is to get a female riolu?) (I WASN'T EVEN TRYING TO BREED FOR SHININESS YET) So, after that, I finally land a Lucario with the egg moves I want: Hi Jump Kick, Boolet Punch, 420 Blaze it Kick And I start hoping for the best. (Bottom line of Riolus are isolated because they have better ivs [3 x 31, 29 speed] The end result: Bonus: With one of the good riolus, I made a special variant:

Lucario is available as of E15. And it's worth it. And consider breeding for moves and shininess. GOOD GOD IT'S FUCKING WORTH IT

I hope Adrienn's dialogue doesn't come across as too preachy. My very biased opinion about the whole xe/xym/xyr pronouns / tumblr idea thingamajig is that it's really, really, really silly altogether.

I do not care about IVs. Looking for a pinsir with quick attack, have a heracross with rock blast (naughty nature).

If you feel like taking a 3 month break after episode 15.... I'll forgive you. Just not immediately.
