BIGJRA

I struggled a ton until I realized that the Raticates that you can find in the gym are a god-send because they are immune to ghost and have so many useful dark moves like crunch and sucker punch.

Might as well do help out with this some more. 33: Fling 100: Splash 126: Wonder Tile in PMD, not really useful for Reborn most likely 132, 133, 176, 177, 187: Stat lowers 134: Money got 139: PMD Gravelerock/Geo Pebble Throw...? 140: Pin Missile/Poison Sting 143: PMD apple eating sound, great for bite/crunch 147: Spite 152: Level-up! 153: Bird screech, was used by Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres, could be for Brave Bird 157: Grudge or something similar 169: PP goes 180: Speed lowered 184: Paralyzed sound 188: Some kind of PMD wall set up (counter, light screen, magic coat, etc.) 189: Constrict 190: Coil 195: Mist/Haze? 200: Waterfall? 210/213: Ghost moves 214: Cloudy weather 220: Water Sport 230: Psywave 248: Charm 250: Ice Shard or something similar

All I can really suggest given your current team is to defeat all three of the Eeveelutions with Luxio (bite on Espeon), Noibat, and Pancham (fighting for Glaceon and Umbreon?) first, take down the Lileep, and then hopefully use a combination of Luxio Bite flinches and getting lucky with burns from Quilava's flame wheel to take down the Tangrowth. Luxio might be necessary to take out Chatot, too. Consider getting two other Pokemon to fill the slots in your team, you're gonna need a team of six at some point going forward.

I might or might not be singing along to this right now ~

1) We got our badges, honestly at this point I'm not sure that would really affect anything adventure-wise (although obviously it would be an interesting twist. 2) We already saw the four screens of Shades, and I'm banking on the assumption that they are the only deaths (or appearence of them) that we're going to be seeing of major characters within the story.

I don't think there's a reason for Radomus to die yet, he still has much more dialogue to come in future episodes, at least I hope. And on another note, if a leader dies before they give you the badge, it is invalid. This is seen in Kiki and Corey's cases. If you already have the badge before the leader retires, it shouldn't become void, especially considering that if that was the case then everyone who got a badge before the leader retired would have to go re-earn it. Anna will somehow have a different purpose, but won't be the Psychic leader who gives out the Millennium Badge. Oh and 4% hype

The beach is kinda cool, but I like swimming in a pool more than in the ocean. It might be fun while I'm at the beach, but trying to pack up your stuff and put shoes on is a pain in the ass when there's sand everywhere.

I'm glad to see music updates are beginning, because I'm kinda excited about those. Hearing a Jasper Ward theme that doesn't make me sad will be quite interesting xD. Is that one "Reborn Light" theme gonna be one of these? only on reborn can we create 150 replies on this topic before the percent even goes up once

What does this weather v. 2.0 mean in terms of event Pokemon? Would Numel for example still only be example during the stormy archetype, or only a part of it?

Don't feel alone, I am the same I use 6 Pokemon. If one of them starts to suck, I replace it. I don't like having to switch them in and out, like what? To answer the question, Meowstic Female is kinda a crutch. Charge Beam Espurr and Meowstic were great early game, but now in the 70's in level it's starting to lose its power.

Just one more thing I should probably mention, Citae Arc would be a logical place for Lin to end up when escaping from the orphanage, since she would run out of Lapis and a safe place away from the city would be the Grand Gates

I've played through this path of the story before and it's certainly quite an interesting story. I'm not the first to suggest this, but most likely what happened is Lin was trapped in Citae Arc D'Astrae, where she somehow became friends with Baby Arceus and maybe had her soul split from her body. If this was the case, it would explain a few things: Lins age relative to everyone else (if she was stuck in time like Adrienn it would make sense that she's a lot older), her physical form is cold and heartless, and of course that childish voice that you can hear when leaving the arc for the first time. This could also explain how when Lin 'dies' it is just her body (her soul remains) and that's why Shades prophecy is fulfilled.

On this note - are we gonna get to surf there? In Coral Ward the water level is even with the land and there's a building (where Oshawott was) just beyond the water that we'll most likely get to surf to (and maybe find an Oshawott egg?) Since the other wards are higher in elevation we probably won't be able to surf from them, but if we get to surf from Coral Ward, Azurine Island, and Apophyll Beach, then we might as well get to explore the entirety of Azurine Lake, where potentially some of the nasty time consuming sidequests are.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-244788235 I'm still pretty low on the leaderboards for OU (especially since I used to be trash at it) but the Hurricane confusion hax in this was so satisfying lol.

Hey guys, I just started doing showdown OU battles and I was wondering if you guys wanted to help better my team a little bit. At A Glance ~ Teambuilding Process ~ This was the first time I really tried to make a semi-decent team, with an endgoal in mind and synergy, etc. I saw a Smog article on an alternative Mega Pidgeot set and I thought that it would be fun to try out. Realizing that I can pretty much rely on him as a sweep, I decided to supplement the ice weakness with a Heatran, to get rocks support. I added Latias just because I wanted to try out a Defog Latias with Healing Wish, and so far it seems to be pulling weight. I kinda love Ferrothorn so I stuck him on for Leech Seed/T Wave action, and then I got a Tentacruel to complete the fire-grass-water trio and then give me some rapid spin coverage, so I have BOTH a defogger and a spinner. I kinda just threw in a specs Gengar after that to fill coverage. The Team ~ @ Pidgeotite Ability: Keen Eye EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Hurricane - Work Up - Refresh - Roost As I stated above, the goal of Mega Pidgeot (aka Bird Jesus) is to swap in at opportune times, set up a work up, and then hurricane the crud out of everything else to win. I have refresh and roost because the easiest way to set up BJ is to do it on a wall of some sorts. The biggest weakness here is steel, electric and rock types; I can't one shot them with +2 Hurricanes so easily. BJ basically outspeeds everything that comes up against it, although priority moves are occasionally an issue. @ Choice Specs Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Dazzling Gleam - Sludge Wave - Shadow Ball - Trick I really only use Gengar as your typical coverage/specs trick set, which is particularly useful if I'm trying to clear the way of things that can resist BJ's hurricanes. I use it particularly to check dragons, other ghosts, and fairies that are bulky. Not much else to be said for this set. @ Life Orb Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Defog - Draco Meteor - Thunderbolt - Healing Wish Although Life Orb Latias is one of the sets you'd least expect, its slight bit of bulk over its older brother is especially useful in being able to dish out Thunderbolt spam or send in a couple of draco meteors. I prefer thunderbolt as it gives the team electric coverage and supplements DM well. I'll use defog mainly if the opponent is really persistent with early game rocks/spikes and I haven't set mine up yet. I haven't had to use Healing Wish in a battle yet but if I do it'll probably be a late game Ferrothorn revival or perhaps a rejuvenation of mega Pidgeot. @ Rocky Helmet Ability: Iron Barbs EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Def Relaxed Nature IVs: 0 Spe - Thunder Wave - Gyro Ball - Leech Seed - Power Whip Ferrothorn does what he does. Late game, he sets up thunder waves and leech seeds but has the offensive capabilities to dish out damage. I don't feel the need to load 'Thorn with field hazards since Heatran can set up rocks, but I do use him to stall out opponents. He is useful in doing trio-switches with Tentacruel and Heatran. @ Air Balloon Ability: Flash Fire EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpA / 252 SpD Calm Nature - Lava Plume - Roar - Toxic - Stealth Rock Heatran kinda serves multiple purposes all jumbled into one. I use him as early game rocks if I can, I try to toxic stall certain pokemon that check it, and then I roar whenever I feel that a switch is coming (free rocks damage) or, because he can take a hit, to roar out a pokemon that managed to set up offensively/defensively. I run Lava Plume to attack bulky physical sweepers in the case of burn and I use it against Steel types that block BJ Hurricanes; specifically Magnezone, Metagross, and Skarmory. Heatran ends up being a reliable staller that can take a hit and burn his opponents. @ Black Sludge Ability: Liquid Ooze EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Sludge Wave - Rapid Spin - Scald - Ice Beam Tentacool has a very odd set from what I've seen (being all offensive) but it seems to work out in its favor. It can take hits but really just takes down Heatrans and Landorus'es with its typical moves, and then surprises opponents with Sludge Wave and it's chance to poison. Of course, I use it as a late game spinner if I need rocks gone for when Mega Pidgeot can come in and sweep. Oh and the chances of burn freeze and poison are all nice. The Import ~

Since it wasn't really confirmed by anyone yet, yeah I got Mudkip by talking to the guy in storm and then getting Mudkip in clear weather. When updated to E15, I didn't have to talk to the guy; I just went to the spot in clear weather and Squirtle was there.

Nah, there's a computer in the Orphanage in which Ame is kinda like "well, if you ARE to fight him here's what you should do..."

It's outside in the town, I think on the bottom right side of town. First a building will disappear and then you can get to the chair.

There's a clown in Agate Circus that can be rebattled infinitely, he awards shards too.

Well, all 18 are awesome Pokemon to get on your team at that point in the game. Some of them can be obtained later (starly for example), but no axew isn't the only good one.

...no, it can only contain 1 of 18 Pokemon, nothing else.

Sparky, (should you read this) because I'm curious, what led you to believe that a non-straight relationship is not 'true?'

You don't get to finish the event in Episode 15 quite yet, unfortunately. If you got it stolen in 7th Street that's as far as you can go.
