  1. I'm in 7th street, just defeated the leader of aqua gang again and did everything but i can't find bennet.

    Edit: Ok wtf after doing everything their is t do in 7th street i stayed half an hour running in circles, and just walking everywhere and after leaving the building where you could heal your Pokemon for the 10th type he just shows up and walks to the cavern. Was their a sort of time of the day or time needed? Can't believe how lucky i got.

  2. Only ones i had trouble with are noel/serra and the bug gym(was really being stubborn about my openers, beat it once i changed them). All of the rest were pretty easy. Radomus is the weakest by far, no offence but that battle was pathetic. Shade/cory/kiki were easy as well. Many other battles are way harder then the gyms,though i still have to face three gym leaders.

  3. Still didn't finalize my set up depending on how i decide to fight samson:

    Starters:

    Blaziken

    Golem

    Floatzel

    Loudred

    Other/Rotation:

    Machamp, Roserade, Drapion, Pidgeot, Ampharos, Nidoking, Swampert.

    None of them are breaded/IV trained, only gym's which i needed more then three tries to win are bug/ice/normal. Usual strategy is to train up a specific pokemon leading to a gym, if that doesn't work out and i'm having trouble i just use the scouting i already did to set up 2-3 bulk ups for my blaziken and then sweep their team. The physic gym was the easiest by far, especially because i had my meowstic learn the anti trick room just before, didn't even have to use the dark type i had prepared.

  4. Just about to go vs Samson. Though i don't know if i should keep my meowstic or switch it out for a couple other of my special attackers.

    Why do we have another fighting type gym? Really confused as their already was one. I haven't prepared a special pokemon for the gym due to it's type being unclear, was thinking of a flying type but i have blaziken which already has brave bird.

  5. I've done 3 playthroughs so far, cause I thought I lost my 1st save file (which I didn't and still have) and I lost my 2nd (for real)

    1st playthrough (stopped after Noel)

    I had real trouble against Shade. His Gengar was so fast that I had to set up 2 DDs with Gyarados to outspeed it and his Chandelure (always sent that after Rotom fainted) wouldn't let me set up 2. I won by sheer luck, when he sent out Golett instead of Chandelure, for some reason.

    I also had trouble against Noel, mostly because of his Cinccino KOing things it wasn't supposed to, by flinching them to death.

    2nd playthrough (lost file after Charlotte)

    Luna gave me hell, even though I had Scrafty, probably cause I was kinda underleveled (57-58lvl). I grinded my mons a bit and gave Gardevoir Moonblast to beat her.

    Charlotte completely annihilated me on my first attempt, but then I just taught my Crobat Rain Dance and she became easy mode.

    3rd playthrough:

    Was prepared for everyone (too much actually) and, to my disappointment, some were even nerfed, like Shelly, Radomus and Serra. Doubles make it easier to deal with G.Gardevoir and Heather, because you can gang up on them. I only lost to Serra, cause I always battled her before field effects were introduced. So, I figured I'd have to battle her in an Icy Field, in doubles, with a permanent Ice Body/Snow Cloak crap and trained a Flygon just to remove the field with EQ. So, I lead of with that, and I was really surprised to see no special field, a singles battle and a freakin' Cloyster that swept me (so much for preparation :[ ). I won the rematch though.

    My point is, that Reborn isn't fit to be played by having "your team" with which you can beat everyone (like most other pokemon games). It's not even supposed to be that way. One must use different mons to match the situation. And in that spirit, all gym leaders are beatable or can give you hell, depending on what your team is when you battle them.

    I disagree a bit with you, it's true that you can't have the same team and go through every badge. But with a balanced team i went through the first 8 gyms without any changes specific changes. I did do a couple of changes though they weren't to face a certain a gym and that set me back level wise. Out of my 8 current badges i had blaziken sweep through 4 and meowstic do the rest.

    Though i had significantly more trouble then you. Training and leveling up mons from the go is so time consuming -.-, i wouldn't be where i am without blazikens speed boost.

  6. Shelly by far. Once i got pretty lucky but i aqua jeted my blaziken by mistake. But once i changed who i opened wit i got after one try.

    Beat julia, corey,shade and kiki in one try, all thanks to my espur.

    In my first run, the hardest Gym Leader for me was Aya. She was so hard that I needed to train a Cubchoo until it evolved and learned Icicle Crash, breed it with a female Piloswine, train the Swinub to lv 40, evolve it all the way to Mamoswine and train a random Noibat to lv 40 so it could survive Earthquakes and support the team with Tailwind. Even then it was hard. The second hardest was pre-nerf Noel, since my best Pokémon, Venusaur, got wrecked by two-thirds of his team and the rest had to pray to the RNG to stand a chance. Clefable was hilariously easy with Toxicroak, though.

    Then my old PC got bricked and I'm doing a second run. Aya was still the hardest Gym Leader, though this time it's because I'm waiting for EP15 to battle Serra.

    The hardest non-GL bosses would be Sigmund (on the first run) and Sirius (on the second run) at Yureyu, because Cain's Pokémon spent most of the time spamming weak attacks or hitting themselves.

    Aya wasn't easy but you didn't need to go that far. I don't get why people don't use meowstic, really helped me against nidoqueen.
