So, I've started playing Reborn - a few days ago, I think. I've gotten up to Shade, and while most gym battles are difficult in their own ways, Shade is... more so. I carefully pick and choose my team so that none of them possess the same typeing - or at least as few of them as is possible - and try to have them possessing movesets similar to such. But Shade has thus far proven impossible to beat.
By the time I get two of his team down, four of mine are fainted, and the rest go down in seconds.
My team consists of a Growlithe at 33 (I haven't been able to get a fire stone thus far), Skuntank and Loudred at 35, Serperior at 36, and a Lumineon at 37. I feel as though I should stand something of a chance with my team, but no matter how I play out the cards, nine times out of ten says I can't even get past his Gengar before he utterly annihalates me. Like, OHKO across the board. The rare few times I manage to get past his gengar, the few survivning pokes are in the red, and theres only two of them left.
Can somebody help me out here, because this is seriously killing my fun. At this rate, I'll have to screw the level cap and grind until I'm in the fifties in order to stand a chance.
