Damage

Man this team has to be hard to do since there is no synergy between the two. Also what are your plans for rock types since fire and ice have a common weakness... (wait why is that?)

Ame you have not confirmed neither beers or Martinis. Please get back to me on this at your leisure.

Swampert should have water absorb. Honestly I think it should have sap sipper since its a swamp monster but that'd make him hella broken. Bug and Ice types in general need serious fixing but if I had to pick one itd be my Boy Butterfree since if all of Ash's other G1 boys got a mega then so should Free.

Hello all, I'm doing the ground mono and just finished my ironic struggle with Corey. My mystery egg is blue which I can only imagine is something not ground. Can someone give me either Rhyhorn or Drilbur. IVS natures all that don't matter but a male would be nice. If whoever hands decides rhyhorn just thrown in a protector plate so he can join the big boys before iolia.

Thanks, I'll try it.

I was looking through the on the hunt guide but nothing says where to find rare candies (not store bought) if anyone knows a few that lead before corey I'd be happy if you shared.

I think Imma bring Swampert into the mix. I want Drilbur but the police event isn't until after this and with so many mons pulled in I'd like to wait until after so there's some challenge. Also I can't evolve trapinch until 40 since I need him to learn superpower. Same reason Nidorino hasn't evolved.

Finally a cafe, I know my character needs to unwind with a nice cold... Do they serve beer?

looking forward to it haha

Where is diggersbytho? Solid rock wont let him survive a water move since itll still be like 3.75x but its worth a shot. I didn't even think of sturdy but I will give it a shot.

Pokemon availability should be pretty varied and location specific just like the old games. I love metagross and used it several times but I'm pretty sure in its debut game it was post-game content as it should be. I like the idea of having a psuedo early on but it should be damn hard to find and even if it becomes easy due to the community it should have a puzzle that always requires thinking and backtracking like a quiz that asks "how many grass patches are there in aya's gym". As far as puzzle changes I think you should totally change Rad's puzzle. Not due to its difficulty but because of things like Shofu's run. I have never even attempted to solve that puzzle on my own. I watch shofu's solving it Every. Single. Time. I applaud everyone who does it the normal way or by memory but I think all puzzles should require honest effort. (i don't like chess....) but Puzzle wise I still think if you haven't seen it or have gone on enough playthroughs where you've memorized it then its still a pretty challenging puzzle.

Doing a hardcore run of reborn and I chose ground type. I'm currently at Corey who should be a cakewalk but spoiler alert everyone has ice moves because why not. Here's the team. Marshtomp: Bashful/Damp-Tackle/Rock slide/Water gun/Mud bomb Krokorok: Docile/Intimidate- Sand tomb/Torment/Crunch/Dig Nidorino: Bold/Poison point- Focus energy/Double kick/Poison Sting/Horn attack Trapinch: Mild/Hyper cutter- Crunch/Rock Slide/Dig/Bulldoze Gabite: Adamant/Rough skin- Dual chop/Sand tomb/ Slash/ Sandstorm Camerupt: Sassy/Angerpoint- Rock slide/Magnitude/ Lava plume/ Iron head Gabite can't take any ice moves since they're 4x the rest minus Marshtomp can barely take one with their awful special defenses. Trapinch can usually do a lot of damage but can't take a hit at all. Same for Camerupt who goes down with one water move. This is all magnified by the fact that I have nothing to counter quilfish. I have a phanpy in the computer but I think that song and dance is gonna be the same. Suggestions?

Tales of symphonia 2. Why was it allowed to happen?

thats crazy. its still pretty funny though

On that Mr.Mime note. I just realized there can be a female Mr.Mime... I'm all for equality but uhh.. Was Ms.Mime impossible?

The guy who wanted ground types can now sleep easy.

Alright so turns out ghost may be a little out of my league at the moment. Trying a round two for hardcore and seeing how ground can take away my sanity. I have the king of memes as my starter, I just need a couple teammates to help him out. I want Gible since it evolves to the ever so gangster garcheezy but Flygon is so iconic and actually learns earthquake. Lastly Sandile I think would be a neat addition given my newfound hatred of dark moves. Just surprise me on the dragon one I guess. Thanks in advance my savior.

I appreciate the challenge but I wanted to play this version the smart way instead of just relying on my starter which every playthrough of normal I usually only touch my starter when bored. I think that ghost is just beyond difficult the early game due to frailty and not being able to evolve. Once everyone on my team stops playing JV ball then I can start enjoying the game. I'm gonna try to hang in there for a little while longer. If it really doesn't appeal to me I'll switch to something a little less mind consuming.

Episode three: This could be better So after Florinia I'm sent off to Beryl ward to handle some deforestation. (am I the bad guy?) Its here that my main guys, Amateratsi, Fahrenheit and Sorbet begin getting over leveled. Also notice Sorbet can learn drain kiss at 23 so she gets boxed so that can happen later on. (a decision I will come to ragert). I make my way through the awful forest and the pattern goes, send in Amateratsu he gets kicked when not around grass, remedy problem by sending in Fahrenheit. Rinse and repeat. Finally I make it to Taka who is actually taken down pretty easily by (insert gengar joke). I make my way through some more grunts with Amateratsu setting everything on fire. Pulse round two is pretty easy since Amateratsu and Fahrenheit have been eating common candies since wayyy back. Finally I escape the forest after destroying a family and add two ghosts to the roster. Grin the pumpkaboo and Envy the shuppet. Both make fine punching bags while my boys heal up. Fahrenheit, Amateratsu and (Butteryfree's last battle) takes place. But here comes a new challenger. Nine the drifblim (cloud nine.. get it? cause he's a blimp in.... I'll stop) Destiny bond works twice since revive exists. Amateratsu explodes the field so there's three suicides. This takes care of Quilfish who lost to Fahrenheit. Nidoqueen who lost to suicide fire Amteratsu. Swalot who lost to Destiny round 1. Skunktank also is taken out with Destiny bond. Remaining is Crobat and Scoliopede. Butterfree sleep powders scoliopede and uses gust until it dies. He is quickly one shot by crobat who obviously one shots whoever is left who wasn't used as healing time. Fahrenheit (who would of guessed this outcome) uses thunderbolt after being hit by air cutter but is left with more than half. One more thunderbolt and bam attempt 67 new record minimum easy win. Soooo about this ghost run. I don't actually recommend it to anyone. Its awful, like the worst kind of awful. Nothing is going to evolve until after Shelly. Nine did and he's doing fine but his movepool is awful atm and Amateratsu is slow due to being stage one and in hardcore mode this team is getting the brakes beaten off them. I literally only have fun when using Haunter who I HAD to ev train in order for him to ohko any threat since some devil worshiper the game gave every mon a dark move. To anyone reading this. Have fun playing hardcore and pick a team that has more than 2 second stage mons by Corey. Team update. Fahrenheit the gengar- Levitate- Shadow ball/ Sludge bomb/ Thunderbolt/ Hypnosis Amateratsu the litwick- Flash fire- Flame burst/ Will o Wisp/ Energy Ball/ Hex Nine the drifblim- Unburden Stockpile/ Payback/ Ominious Wind/ Destinybond (my favorite move) Envy the shuppet- Insomnia- Shadow sneak/ will o wisp/ Feint attack/ Gunk shot (would be cool if he could hit anything) Grin the pumpkaboo- Pickup- Shadow sneak/ Leech seed/ Razor leaf/ Bullet seed Frillish the Frillish- Water absorb- Brine/ Absorb/ Ominous wind/ Recover Sorbet the boxed snorunt- Moody- Icy wind/ Powder snow ftw/ Bite/ Double team P.S I'm stuck on Victoria since Fahrenheit (who is easily one shot) keeps missing hypnosis and everyone else besides Nine is outsped AND one shot. Thinking about switching to something fun like water or ground.

When you finally finish the Beryl ward chapter you can get a mystery egg for Tentacool. 1/18 chance. After the battle I'm sure someone wouldn't mind throwing one in for you. A good water type will be helpful later on.

thanks pal

Hello all I'm starting to actually get through battles without ragequitting this ghost mono and mystery egg of course says no go. If someone could replace this azurill I got with the frillish I had hoped was inside I'd be a pretty happy guy. Ivs natures etc are unimportant. Just a cute lil water ghost is fine by me.

Don't forget budew is obtainable before Julia and Roserade is pretty fantastic if you get extrasensory or hp fire. Combine it with technician and bam you got a sweeper.

realistically most pokemon would make terrible pets. I mean they are called monsters for a reason.

You can probably add psuedos to that list along with like 80% of water types since most of them need to be underwater to live. Weezing would probably suck a bit since itd just shoot gas out all day.
