Screech (Noivern Lv48) - Bashful - Telepathy

Tailwind

Air Slash

Roost

Super Fang

Honda (Hariyama Lv46) - Sassy - Sheer Force - Fist Plate

Knock Off

Vital Throw

Close Combat

Fake Out

Perfecto (MeowsticMale Lv47) - Quiet - Infiltrator - Light Clay

Light Screen

Fake Out

Psyshock

Psychic

Pepe (Skuntank Lv47) - Relaxed - Keen Eye - Black Sludge

Feint

Toxic

Flamethrower

Night Slash

- (Arcanine Lv 48) - Gentle - Justified

Heat Wave

Flamethrower

Outrage

Crunch

Peng (Empoleon* Lv48) - Hardy - Defiant

Metal claw

Growl

Bubblebeam

Aqua Jet

Not looking to counter anything or anyone, just looking for a few options.

[Noel!!!!!]

Hariyama is massive and gets Knock-Off+Fake Out. Not sure on Cinccino's move set but Magnezone seems decent to lead with.

[What's your lifesaver?]

Hariyama.

I thought Sheer Force + Fake Out would fail miserably.

That final turn priority tho.......

[Teambuilding advice: Good Poison Types?]

I've been using Stunky (now a Skuntank) for a while. It's got weak defences but it has decent speed, only one weakness (Ground), learns Toxic/Flamethrower (as Skuntank)/Night Slash, Good HP, and Stench ability might net you the odd flinch or two. I might replace it now I'm into the 'meat' of the game, but since I caught it near the start it's done very well for me.

Cheers everyone!

I haven't faced Kiki yet, I just got the Meditite. Decided to level Noibat for a while whilst I do as many of the stickers as I can (I think 3 maybe at this stage?).

Yeah I figure Gyarados is my fave because in the games it always makes my story teams. I always pick the Fire-type starter in the games, so Gyarados gives a nice balance. The fact it's busted/flexable/attainable helps out too I suppose.

The thread name could be a joke. Needs finishing though........

......and so it began. The journey through a cracked Reborn Region. Seriously, so many cracks!

I'm Daniel. Far too old for Pokemon, but far too stubborn to break the habit. My first game was Pokemon Yellow, so I've been doing this a fair while. I do play online but I'm not a competitive player, although I do enjoy it when Galvantula eats up the odd Mega Mewtwo Y on Wi-fi. I'm currently sat on the beach awaiting Kiki to show up and whoop my team of Empoleon, Stunky, Hariyama, Noibat, Growlithe, and Meowstic. I should probably get something else for those Fighting types actually. My reserves are weak to Fighting.....

Anyway I'm playing Reborn because of the playthroughs I saw on YouTube, and it looked like a fun challenge so here I am. The whole 'field' thing felt weird but I do like the way it adds an extra something. Shelly never stood a chance poor girl. But how did I not burn the whole place to a cinder??

My favourite type is Fire, but my favourite Poke is Gyarados. Haven't worked that one out yet but that's the truth of me. I haven't yet had my balls handed back to me by Reborn, but I expect that to happen as I travel further into the game. I have a nasty habit of 'accidentally' getting critical hits on Pokes I want to use, and I find a lot of stuff on the floor (I search everywhere as a habit).

So yeah. "Hello".
