I feel like I should note that a grass type actually really helps vs. flo's breloom. grass types are immune to spore/leech seed tomfoolery, and some some (eg roselia, maybe hoppip) resist mach punch. the only problem is brellom resisting your stuff. bringing in trubbish vs. breloom can help if she sends it out early, because it denies her poison heal and you can acid spray to lower its special defense for someone else to come in and KO

out of the gym leaders I've faced (up to Shade, I've restarted for e15) probably florina. she has a great gimmick, but 1. combusken+a breloom counter just runs straight through her whole team and 2. Quilladin is basically immune to her whole team and retaliates with SE pin missile. honestly the hardest part was keeping breloom from sporing all my stuff.

my least favorites are grass-types. they're such an awful offensive and defensive type but they have so much status in their kits...also I dislike dragon for being too abusable and Ice and bug for not being abusable enough

I get what you mean about burning+sleep. I used a pansear with yawn and a ponyta to back it up, her wormadam and illumise never actually moved and masquerian and yanmega only moved once. I mainly lost the first-third time due being too low-level to stop volbeat from getting a tail glow up and accidentally ending the burn with sand tomb. alos, this time her anorinth never used rockslide thank god (my team was 4/6 weak to rock and damn that thing was FAST) Julia was p much a cakewalk with a lucky quilladin rollout and pachirisu taking advantage of the field while being too bulky to die. I bascially spammed spark. Ironically, flobot's cradily was the easiest memeber of her team, if a bit tedious, because of quilladin with pin missle getting high rolls corey would have been the hardest if he'd used venoshock more often, but he didn't. I'm pretty sure that nothing i had could live that.

Steel! show the world your iron-hard resolve!

Yeah I can totally see absol. 1. doom theme 2. subpar power level to symbolize usuing what you've got 3. pretty much every female main character apes its hairstyle.

the first games had pickachu, the second gen had lugia/ho-oh, third gen had groundon/kyogre/, and dppt had Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina Lucario... so what's our mascot? my vote goes to World Champ Pachirisu, ass-kicking electric rodent that it is, seeing as it is pretty dang strong and pretty much impossible to miss out on, or maybe Arceus as the mascot legend

voting florina. Julia would have been harder if she'd sonicboomed more often, but quilladin+pin missle+tspikes makes cradily an absolute joke. first time a field effect worked in my favor.

Chespin has been my first. Quilladin's Pin Missle is a hard counter to Flobot's Cradily, so long as you get 3 or more hits consistently. the desert field makes it strong, it's physical so sandstorm doesn't reduce damage, and it's one of the few types cradily is weak to!

I generally try to fill up a water/fire/grass core every game. the other few slots are up to what's available, but I favor bulky mons over sweepers unless they're blisteringly fast. I cannot not use any steel type I find, and dragon and poison are welcome too.

cool, another tumblr...er pleased to meet you. never liked sylveon (vaporeon or umbreon ftw) but I can appreciate anybody with a fire for favorites!

hello, I'm doombotmecha I'm just playing reborn for the first time, and I'm a little nervous 'cause all I know is that the game ain't fair. relevant facts: I have played every gen except for 1 (i've played a touch of firered), and I've played all the way through mystery dungeon blue, pokemon diamond, and pokemon emerald. Incidentally, these are the only games I've actually owned. Favorite Mon: Metagross (c'mon, he's a quantum computer that hits like a truck, what could be better) Favorite type: steel (I am OBSESSED.) Best gen IMO: the remakes of 3, 4, and 5, have my votes, but black2/white2 wins out for easy access to steel types, especially Magnezone and excadrill. that said, I loved colosseum for the unique setting. feels a bit like pokemon fallout version. anyway, Hi!
