well i would use wismur since sound proof is very very very very useful against taka's annoying chatot with chatter. with soundproof chatter is nothing and can't annoy you.

umm i m tempted to post a long arse post but hehe i m not done with 1 of mine long arse post bout team advice and i dont have much time at the moment so lets just rework your team ya. open the spoiler to see the modifications.Enjoy.

ok this should help you with the spots you can use to EV train. Speed Attack Sp.Atk Def Sp Def HP And this thread -->Here<-- should help further explain what is EV for you. Now as for ceil. well i would train some ice types you can catch around the area. Lapras is a good option because it is tanky and can take hits while dealing a lot of damage because it learns ice beam by lvling up. so i would go for a lapras to deal with noivern/togekiss. greninja with surf can deal with Archeops/Gliscor/Talonflame just train him up a little and he should be able to deal with Archeops/Gliscor/Talonflame. or you could grab a mamothswine with thick fat but be careful because ciel noivern has heat wave. other than that you can also grab any one of this ice types below in the spoiler tag to help. Special Attack Ice Type Physical Attack Ice Types

lolz it is not yet done still working on it final product should be done tmr if i dont procrastinate hehe. And no problem glad to help

well actually you do not need any EV/IV to clear reborn but speed EV on metagross and azumarill is kinda useless. Hp makes them tanky. they are bulky sweepers so they are suppose to be out speed because they can take the hits. well speed nature are more useful for those set up pokemon because you are boosting the atk stat. say for example Tyrantrum with Jolly nature can set up Dragon Dance faster than most 71 or below base speed pokemon. so if you are really worried about getting out-speed i would go for speed boosting natures (Jolly/Timid). Brave and Quiet Natures are for trick room users/slow pokemon. so not all the time modest/Adamant nature are the best but to make things easy yes they are the best nature to just smack on any pokemon. Now with that aside time for a super long post you have been warned,this post is gonna be long and dont worry there will be a TLDR at the end. Ok i assume you still have access to the daycare since you say that you are heading to samson. if you are reading this DO NOT go to agate yet because once you go to agate city there is no turning back and you can't change nature,breed and you have limited pokemon to work with unless you have older episodes to go back to Reborn city. But going back to older episodes is risky cause it might make your save file corrupt or something so i do not recommend doing so. Just dont go to agate yet until you prepared a decent team of 6 plus subs.Did i mention DO NOT enter agate. well it is usually better to run with a team with 3 Special Attacker and 3 Physical Attackers so that you cant get walled so badly. I would go for duo types since having duo types in a team would be better since you can cover more without swapping around too much. so i would kinda stay away from mono types like Lilligant but Lilligant is actually a decent grass type but there are others which can do a better job and cover more since they are duo type. Chapter 1: Starting from scratch Ok now lets remove every single member except your starter. in order to make a team of six we need to start from the basics/fresh start so that it is easy to build your team.Ok Blaziken is weak to water,ground,flying and psychic. so getting a grass type into you team will deal with the water and ground weakness. Step 1 is to add a grass type to you team.should it be physical or special well that is up to you.so here is a list of grass types which are good just pick one a duo type grass type is better.I would go for Roserade if you want a good special atk grass type and Gourgeist/Trevenant if you choose to go for a physical atk grass type because ghost also takes care of the psychic weakness Blaziken has. Special Attack grass type Physical attack Grass type Chapter 2: Covering Each others weakness Okie back now let continue. Ok now we need something to counter grass which are flying,ice,poison,bug and fire. ice,fire and bug are covered by Blaziken and if you choose Gourgeist/Travenant/Roserade you will not need to worry about poison weakness which leaves us with flying and Blaziken also has a flying weakness too so the third pokemon can cover the 2 of them.I would personally go for an electric type since grass can cover electric type weakness to ground.Step 2: add a electric type into your team.I personally would go for Ampharos/Magnezone for special attack electric type and Eelektross/Raichu if you are going for physical attack electric type,Anyways the other options are below. Special Attack Electric type Physical Attack Electric type Chapter 3: Crossroads Now if you did not pick Gourgiest/Travenant as the grass type for you team you would still have psychic weakness for Blaziken and if you picked Roserade you will also have another pyschic weakness so the 4th slot of the team if for a psychic type killer if you picked roserade as a grass type if not this slot is for a fairy killer if you did not pick magnezone and if you did pic magnezone this slot if to cover up magnezone weakness. So Step 3 kinda depends on what are your first 3 pokemon of the team. so this section is gonna be kinda long cause i m gonna try to cover the 3 points i said 1)psychic killers,2)Fairy killers,3) Covering Magnezone's arse. Chapter 3.1:Psychic type killers Well at this point of team building you would already have 3 members in the team. If your team is still weak to a certain type you will need to cover them team members. Well if you choose blaziken+ any poison/grass type. your team will still be weak to Psychic types so we will need to add in either a ghost type, a dark type or a bug type. i personally prefer going with ghost type since most ghost types are weak to dark and blaziken can take care of the dark types. you can go with dark types here but you will need to put in a dark type which can deal with fighting a.k.a Honchkrow. Also there not many special attacking Dark types so you are kinda forced to run with a physical attack dark type. ghost type has more options and who does not like ghost type they are so cool XD. well i would go for Mismagius/Gengar/Cofagrigus/Froslass if you are going for special attack ghost types and Dirftblim/Dusknoir for physical ghost types.Bug types is also a viable choice but most of them are frail and the best bug type volcarona is a fire type yeah blaziken can cover him but yeah 2 fire in 1 team is ok but not advised. There is also bug type which are always look down on but they are actually the hidden Oped. And i kinda forgot about bugs because hehe i rarely use them. i feel sad that i forgot them hahaha well they are alot of strong physical bug types which are available in reborn and they can pack a punch. Escavalier/Pinisir/Armaldo are good examples of physical bug type which can destroy. Well ther are also special atk bug type which can come in handy like Volcarona/vivilion/Galvantula/Butterfree/Yanmega. You can use the electric type to cover for the bug flying weakness and Blaziken can cover for the fire and rock weakness. As for dark type Honchcrow/Drapion/Skuntank are must have if you are going for physical attack dark type.The only 3 dark types which are special attack and available in game are Houndoom,Greninja and Zoroark. i would not recomed going Houndoom because you already have a fire type in the team having 2 of the same type in a team is kinda pointless because they will share he same weakness and make your team vulnerable to that weakness. Greninja with protean is any type depending on what move he has but he is a starter and not available in any event yet.So the only special atk dark type which is viable and you can choose right now until Hydreigon becomes available is Zoroark. well i did say having 2 pokemon with the same type on team is kinda bad but it is a different case for Drapion and Skuntank as their weakness to psychic is gone due to their typing.Anyways the list of dark,bug and ghost types is below. Physical Atk Ghost type Special Attack Ghost Type Physical Attack Dark Type Special Attack Dark Type Physical Atk Bug Type Special Atk Bug Type Chapter 3.2: Fairy Killers If you have reached this far and you have read everything wow thx for doing so XD. Ok now your teams core 3 cover each other so you do not need any Psychic killer so what do we need hmm well something to deal with the pesky fairy type. usually i would go for a steel type since they are well the most effective at killing fairies but you have the option to go with a poison type too but poison type are kinda meh and most are paired up with grass so yeah having 2 grass in a team is a big NO NO because well grass has so many weakness. enuf yapping,here are the list of fairy killers. Physical Atk Poison Type Special Atk poison Type Physical Atk Steel Type Special Atk Steel Type 3.3 Covering Magnezone's Arse weaknesses Ok if you choose Magnezone as an electric type woohoo magnezone is an awesome electric and steel type and it can act as gimmick pokemon too with mirror coat and sturdy. also it is gonna be AXED next episode so best grab it and hold on to it tightly. magnezone has a bunch of weakness due to its typing. It is 4X weak to ground and it is weak to fire and fighting too. balziken can deal with the fire types and for the fighting types gourgiest/travenat/roserade can body them unless it is another blaziken. which mean we need to add in a strong water type to counter them ground types and fire types.yes grass types can cover magnezone but they are also weak to fire and the only way to effectively deal with fire types is to put em out with water.Personally i prefer going with a water and ground because they only have one weakness which is grass and you can deal with them grass types with blaziken. but the problem with watre ad ground type is most of them are physical attacker and there is only 1 which is a special attacker. I would go for Gastrodon/Kingdra/Clawitzer for special atk water type and Azurmaril/Sharpedo/Crawdaunt/Barbaracle for physical atk water type.So the options for water types are below in the spoiler tags as usual. Physical Attack Water Type Special Attack water type Chapter 4: Tie up lose ends Ok by now you already have 4 member in your main team. woohoo you are very close to completing you Team of 6 which can take almost anything. Now all you need is to round up your team. If you choose a psychic killer go back and add in a fairy killer for your 5th member if you added a water type to your team you will have to cover the water type weaknesses and lastly if you picked a fairy killer you will need to cover that fairy killer. all fairy killers are weak to ground so just head over to Chapter 3.3 and choose 1 of them water type to add i as the 5th member.The diagram below should simplify things. 3.1 route--->Add fairy killer as 5th member 3.2 route--->Add water type as 5th member 3.3 route--->Add something to counter water weaknesses(ground types) I will further expand on Adding something to counter water weaknesses as it is not explained in any of the section yet. So yeah water weakness is electric and grass. Grass is covered by blaziken and well electric can be walled by electric types but i rather use a ground type to do that job so if you when the 3.3 route you will need to add a ground type into the team.If you did not pick a water a ground if you did just ignore this section.so as per usual the ground type suggestion are below in the spoiler tag. Physical Atk Ground Type Special Atk Ground type Chapter 5: Rounding things up Woohoo we are almost done with the team building process now it time to pick the 6th and final member of the team. Now the team just need to cover up its last few weaknesses and it can take on most teams easily. i will put some sample team at the end of this section. you can follow the sample team if you want.So if you picked a water type as your 5th member and it is not a water+ground type you will need to grab a ground type so just head over to the section above for ground type recommendation. If you picked a fairy Killer as your 5th member please head over and grab a water type as your last member. I personally advice you to pick a water+ground type as your water type,so you dont need to worry about electric weakness but it is up to you. And if you pick ground type for the 5th pokemon and you do not have a psychic killer in your team head over to the psychic killer section and choose 1 psychic killer for your last member. if not add in a dragon type/dragon type killer if you do not have 1 in your team yet.The diagram below will help you pick the last member of your team. 3.1 route--->Add fairy killer as 5th member--->Add water Type as the 6th Member 3.2 route--->Add water type as 5th member--->Add ground type as the 6th Member 3.3 route--->Add something to counter water weaknesses(ground types)--->Add Pyschic killer if you do not have 1 3.3 route--->Add something to counter water weaknesses(ground types)--->Add dragon Type/dragon type killer if you have a psychic killer in your team Ok reason why you would want to put a dragon type or a dragon type killer if you do not have 1 in you team you would have a problem because elemental atks like fire/grass/electric/water are weak against dragons.so it is always good to have a dragon killer/dragon in your team. Now as usual the list of dragons,fairy and ice types are below in the spoiler tag. Physical Atk Dragon Type Special Atk Dragon Type Physical Atk Fairy Type Special Atk Fairy Type Physical Atk Ice Type Special Atk Ice Type Sample teams: Blaziken/Gougiest/Magnezone/Azumarill/Nidoqueen/Noivern Blaziken/Roserade/Magnezone/Azumarill/Flygon(Physical Atk)/Zoroark(Special Atk)

ok before i post a long-ish post on team advice and stuff gotta ask you are you doing any "special" runs. ie mono run only 6 pokemon team run or anything of that nature. gotta confirm because i m gonna suggest some substitute/back-up pokemon so you can swap around and not just run with 6 pokemon only. but yeah before that long post gonna tell ya what i think of your team and what you can do to some what improve your current team. Ok your current team is physical atk heavy and can be walled out by a strong def wall. i m sure you are aware of this since you did say your are planning to add sp sweepers to your team. EV/Nature/items/moves and abilities for each of your team will be modified to what i think is the best set up.this purely my opinion and you an choose to follow them if you like or change them around as you like. The modification are below in the spoiler tag. so that is what i would do to improve your team once you confirm that you are not doing some "special" run or something i will give my suggestion on what are good team member to have for your team. Anyways good luck and enjoy.

well you can get ability capsules to change the abilities of any pokemon in reborn. the can be found by doing events/hidden items/buying at 7th street and pick up(starting from lvl 61). i personally just farm them via pick up pokemons cause i rather save shards for move tutors.

well you can't get riolu egg yet you need to beat blake than than you can start the event. well i wont go for hawlucha because blake could use ice type and still wreck him. weavile out speeds hawlucha. Also Ryhorn gets wrecked by ice type moves because he has weak spdef and blake tends to use more special atking ice types move and shadow ball which can be painful and jinx also carries energy ball which can OHKO Rhydon. Well solrock can set up sunny day to prevent the blizzard spams but it has no moves what so ever to clear the field. i would grab a vulpix(obtain from trade at agate for stunfisk) but it is kinda hard to get stunfisk unless you have one lying around somewhere cause ninetales can solve a lot of your problems. free weather set up and flame burst to get rid of field. Well you best bet for a fire type it magmar or rotom heat if you grabbed rotom and change it to rotom heat.

ok first off i would get rid of the weather effect/hail so that blizzard is not 100% accurate. next get rid of the field so that you can use rock type and fire type moves effectively. you can get rid of the field effect by using heat wave,flame burst,lava plume,eruption and fire pledge. Well i used scrafty to some what sweep blakes whole team with HJK and Crunch+ moxie. Scarfty is kinda tanky and has moxie to make it hit like a truck so i suggest training up one to help you handle blake. but if you are lazy to train up stuff just get rid of the field and weather and you will have an easier time.

well just head over to this thread --->here<--- and i m sure someone would help

well you can use it as an gimmick pokemon. Sturdy+Flail should do some damage. other than that carbink can be a setup pokemon. Carbink can set up trick room/light screen/Reflect/Stealth rocks. it can be useful vsing demon girl Charlotte since it can take hits from Charlotte's pokemon and set up trick room,screens and rocks. pair carbink up with another slow rock type and well you could sweep Charlotte.

No problem. Well i did not cover how to use them gimmick pokemon,i m sure you know how to use them. also did not cover what pokemons can be subs/reserve team and what subs/reserves are good for the future battles because i did not want to spoil the later parts of the game.

Lolz i did give a warning that the post was gonna be long hehe. Oh and added more to the TLDR kinda forgot some points.

well first off, you dont need to find a nidoran male you just have to buy one at the onyx arcade. ok now prepare for a long/very long-ish post. Completing/finishing reborn with a team of 6 pokemon is kinda hard.you can do it but having sub team members would make it easier since you can swap around stuff as and when you need them. Your team is special attack heavy and a spdef wall can make your team suffer(throws in a Cofagrigus). I would balance out the team by having 3 sp atkers and 3 physical attackers so you will not get walled. For all my runs in reborn/most pokemon games i have 1 gimmick pokemon and a team of pick up pokemons. pick up pokemon helps you get free stuff when you are EV training and grinding lvl and stuff. Gimmick pokemon helps kill those pesky over leveled pokemons an annoying bosses for reborn's case(which you are gonna fight soon and i guess you faced a few earlier pulse abra and giant steelix) So 1st advice from me to you is to build up a pick up team(best pick up pokemon is meowth imho). Next make a gimmick pokemon. What is a gimmick pokemon? oh simple it is those pokemon which can kill higher lvl pokemon using moves/strats with certain moves like perish song/destiny bond/sturdy+counter/metal burst. a good example of a gimmick pokemon is murkrow with prankster+perish song. Ok now for you current team member and how to improve/ make them effective i have listed the move set/Best nature/Best EV/Best ability/Item too below. so you can change them accordingly.You can keep them as a sub team member once you have adjusted them. as i said earlier you team is special attack heavy and that has to be fixed. If you need to know where to find the items/TM just head over to this thread ---> Here<--- it should help you.If you need help with breeding go to this thread --> Here <--- just head over to the thread and you should know what are egg moves.You dont really need to bother about nature/EV since it kinda cleared the game without having decent natures or EV on my first try so yeah nature and ev are not so important. Ok now lets work on making your main team better first off you need a grass type in you team to deal with water types so pick anyone of the grass types i have listed down below. i would go for either jumpluff(physical Atk) or Roserade(special Atk) but it is up to you. i listed the grass types which re available at the point of the game you are at. i would replace either emolga /noivern/nidorina with once grass type. Special Attack grass types Physical attack Grass types Ok next you can upgrade you electric type since emolga is kinda meh and not gonna be so useful in late game. personally i would replace Emolga with Either Ampharos. Heliolisk or Magnazone. since you have solar power on charizard so i would use a sun team so heliolisk would be awesome in sun team. Also listed the electric types you can consider for your team below. well there are not many decent physical atk electric types available early-mid game so i would go for a special atk one instead. Special Attack Electric type Physical Attack Electric type Donphan is a good ground type but is kinda slow you can keep donphan if you like but you can also consider adding other ground types which are better.Also i would remove nidoqueen because well nidoqueen's are mostly build to do special attack and as i said earlier your team can be walled by a spdef wall. you can put in a nidoking but you will have to replace donphan with it since having too many ground types in a team is also no good. Anyways i have listed the other ground types you can replace donphan. not gonna put special attack ground types because well you should know why. Physical Atk Ground Types Gardevoir is good so you can keep it in you team now all your team needs is a good fighting type to round out the weakness of your team.i would go for heracross/scrafty/Hariyama. heracross because he can deal a lot of dmg and his move pool is not that bad and scarfty/hariyama because they are tanky and can take hits. You could go for a medicham but you would have to replace gardevoir if you want to do that. same thing again ther is a list of fighting type below which you can choose. Physical Atk Fighting type Samples of what team you can mix and match from the pokemon i suggested: Team 1 Charizard,Jumpluff,Gardevoir,Magnezone,Flygon,Heracross Team 2 Charizard,Roserade,Medicham,Scrafty,Heliolisk,Excadrill Team 3 Charizard,Jumpluff,Heliolisk,Gardevoir,Nidoking,Scrafty Oh almost forgot gimmick pokemon can be very useful when vsing bosses so i highly recommend making once. Example of gimmick pokemon are below. Ok now for a TLDR: 1) Your team has too much special attacking pokemon and can be walled by Sp def walls 2) Get a gimmick pokemon to help with bosses 3) Make a pick up team to get free stuffs while Grinding/Ev Training 4) You can have sub/reserve members 5) Mix and match so that your team is not physical or special attack heavy 6) Ev training, perfect IV and good nature are not so important you can play the game and finish it if you have a decent team and subs. 7) When building a team try to cover the team members weakness with other team member 8) Sample team around the end of the post have 3 of them there so just head over there to see the sample teams. 9) There are not many TM in reborn yet so try to use pokemons which have a good move pool and dont really need TM

@Mistyride well first off soul candle is used to get event pokemon like pumpkaboo/Litwig. you can get pumpkaboo by clicking one of the pumpkins at the cemetery if you have soul candle in you bag. Ok now for how to beat shade.Ok lower the lvl of your typhlosion by using common candy so that he will obey you if not he will not because your lvl cap is lvl 40. Grind the rest of your team to around lvl 38-39 and you should be able to beat shade. also evolve scraggy to scrafty. Manectric should be able to help also since discharge is boosted in shades field. other than that i would bench swoobat and replace it with a dark/electric/ghost type since swoobat is kinda not so useful in this gym. Also try to re teach Calm Mind to swoobat simple+calm mind= super boosted sp atk and sp def.

Well as chubb said E12 and below has gen 5 mechanics. but E9 and E10 has no gen 6 pokemon so if you wanna breed gen 6 mons with gen 5 breeding mechanics the best episode to do so is in E12. Oh and if you wanna breed 6 perfect iv on a pokemon the easiest episode to do so is E14 since in E14 there was a bug where power items and destiny knot stack. Yeah episode jumping is risky and might cause problems. the best place to episode jump is in a pokemon center as the pokemon center hardly changes.

oh Demon girl Charlotte strikes again i guess XD. Well first off as many people said just grab a pokemon which can learn trick room and make use of trick room. also pair the trick room set up pokemon with a slow pokemon. Well solrock is a nice trick room pokemon plus it learns rock slide and stone edge without using tm and it is a rock type which is very useful in Demon girl Charlotte's Gym. Pair it with another slow pokemon which can also learn rock slide/EQ since it solrock has levitate and is not affected by ground type moves. Golurk is agood ground type to be paired with solrock. you can also pair solrock with crustle or maybe gigalith/aggron too.

voted and keep up the good work.Awesome guide btw. Oh and --> this <-- should help people with that demonic turtwig puzzle.

Well you could grab a woobat/swoobat and gust away the poison mist and kill the rest of corey's pokemon with Calm mind+confusion. since swoobat/woobat have simple calm mind stat boost is doubled. also grab a mareep make it an ampharos to help in any case that swoobat/woobat dies or something you have a back up to kill crobat. Also you could use common candies to lower the level of quilava so that it wont lvl up pass the lvl cap.

Pros of Gallade -Gallade has a mega evolution(but currently mega evolution and the gallade mega stone are not available in reborn yet but eventually they will be added) -Gallade has good atk and spdef stats -Gallade can be useful for 2 of the upcoming gyms which are not out yet which are Rock(Hardy) and Steel(Titania) -Ralts can be found earlier than Snorunt -Only have 3 weakness compared to froslass which has 5 weakness -Gallade looks cool Cons of Gallade -Medicham(with pure power ability) is a glass cannon form of Gallade and does way more damage than Gallade and has more coverage moves( Elemental Punches) -Meditate is obtainable earlier than Ralts -Breeding required if you get a female Ralts -Can only be evolved once it becomes Kirlia(not really a con but kinda annoying since you can just use a dawn stone on a female Snorunt directly and get a Froslass) -Weak for upcoming fairy gym(Adrienn) Pros of Froslass -Super high speed. Froslass is so fast it can out speed most things and it is the fastest special attack non legendary ice type(weavile is the fastest ice type but it is physical atk not special atk) -Hax evasion boost in hail if it has snow cloak -The best special atk ice type -Immune to fighting types -Useful for upcoming Dragon gym(Saphira) Froslass outspeeds most dragons(excluding mega mence,Kingdra with swift swim in rain,Noivern) -is a ghost type Cons of Froslass -5 weakness compared to 3 weakness which gallade has -Snorunt is quite rare/hard top find(4% chance of finding i think) -Need to breed if you get a male snorunt -Has no mega evolution -Weak against upcoming gyms Rock(Hardy) and Steel(Titania) I would go for gallade if you have completed the game and just wanna add more team members. but if you have not completed the game/have not a battled the ground gym(M3G4 T3RR4) and the flying gym(Ceil), i would make a froslass but the problem here is you cant breed anything since well you are stuck in agate so you will need to go back 1 episode so you can go back to reborn city to breed things if you get unluckie and not find a female snorunt.My pros and cons are based on if you have completed the game but if you have not i guess my pros and cons for upcoming gyms can be changed due to at which point of the game you are currently at.

well you would lose out in getting mudkip,gastly and vulpix(earlier) other than that nothing much. Oh and in E15 the trainers in grand hall can be re-battled again and again making grinding easier. As for the egg at the overgrow park it will disappear after you liberate the area so grab it if you really want a ducklet. Also nothing much can happen if you update to E15 but i rather play safe and complete you run in E14 than when you reach the end of E14 update to E15.

Hmm here is my list of mons you should consider training: Kingdra,Froslass,Roserade,Ludicolo(decent water and grass type might be helpful when vsing Amaria if she decides to go rain mode),Delphox,Magnezone(before it gets Axed)

well i run Toxic spike,venoshock,shadow ball and Magical leaf on my Roserade. You could run a full on technician abusing Roserade with weather ball,Magical leaf/Grass knot,Hidden Power(any Hp will do),Toxic spikes/leech seed/sleep powder.

hmm well you team is kinda ok at the moment. well you could put in a grass/poison type which can help having 2 electric types in you main team is kinda meh. i would bench Ampharos since you have magneton. Teach HJK to blaziken and flare blitz. you dont need quick attack on blaziken. A good addition into you team would be a Roserade. Roserade would be a good addition into you team since it can help deal with ground types/grass types/fairy types. Also there is no harm in training a few support pokemon which can help you in future. I would train up a trick room user since that can greatly help you when you vs the demon girl Charlotte the fire gym leader. since most of her pokemon are kinda fast but i think archeops can out speed most of them but the problem with archeops is his ability charlotte also hits like a truck so defeatist ability would hinder you. so i recomend getting a rock type which can learn rock slide and is relatively slow so that it can be paired with a trick room set up pokemon to beat demon girl Charlotte. If you are lazy to train one just catch a Crustle when you doing the route 2 puzzle. Crustle is slow and has sturdy and learn rock slide. plus they are lvl 55-59 when you catch them no need to grind so much.Trick room set pokemon which is good is Coffagrigus/Reuniclus/Brongzong/gothitelle. Bronzong can be captured at route 3 they are fairly common and are around lvl 55-59. so you could just grab a Bronzong+Crustle you are kinda set for demon girl Charlotte. well grinding does not take time at all well since you can re-battle the grand hall trainer again and again.There is also the agate clown which also give decent exp. since you can grab exp share earlier now it is even easier to grind(you can grab exp share at spinel town if you return all furniture of the kadabra girl's house). Grinding will get even easier once you grab a luckie egg. So it is always good to have back/sub team but yeah all up to you. As for the potential team Mamoswine and Archeops whould be very useful when vsing the flying gym. Scrafty with moxie can actually sweep the dark gym and can help with blake(some boss battle with ice pokemons after 10th gym). i personally wont go for Honchkrow since you kinda have enuf flying types. Mamoswine would also be useful in the ground gym. TLDR 1)Get roserade 2)Use heart scale to teach HJK to blaziken and teach it Flare Blitz also 3)Get Crustle and Bronzong before battling Charlotte 4)Grinding is kinda easy with Grand hall trainers and agate clown and exp share. 5)Mamoswine,Archeops and Scrafty are good choices 6)You dont need Honchkrow since you have Acherops and Crobat

Sturdy will help you wont get blown up with 1 move since sturdy= focus sash. Reason why any two pokemon with EQ+ Sturdy should net you a win. you dont need to even bother bout the lvls of the EQ+sturdy pokemon they will get off a EQ every time due to sturdy making them not die with 1 move. EV why even bother Ev training the EQ+Sturdy pokemons when they are gonna die after doing their EQ.
