[Flying in a Forest Field]

Those are some interesting ideas. I could see the damage from physical flying moves being reduced at least.

As for Roost, in Forest Fields it could be buffed to still heal half of the max HP, while also able to cure some status conditions like poison or paralysis. But it wouldn't cure confusion so Taka's team won't be nerfed and can still be annoying with confuse hax.

[F.E.A.R strategy?]

I've successfully used a F.E.A.R. Ratatta against the Solaris Garchomp, but it required a lot of set up and luck to pull off successfully. It's a pretty uncommon strategy and not easy to do, so I don't think any changes to the game are necessary.

[Favorite Tank?]

In Reborn, I've like Torterra with Curse/Leech Seed or Synthesis/Earthquake/Wood Hammer.

[What do you look like?]

Pick up game strong.

Pick Up game stronger than Zigzagoon. :Kappa:

[How you doin' Vileplume-in.... fail xD Hi!!]

Hello and welcome! We hope your time here is...Bell-awesome!

[Favorite Pokemon Cry?]

Some of my favorites are Suicune, Gardevoir, Empoleon, Gastrodon, and Roserade.

[Advice for new players struggling with Florina's Gym]

I once swept Florinia with a Simple Swoobat that had Charge Beam and Air Cutter. I got pretty lucky though because Cradily was a 2HKO and didn't use Smack Down.

[Crutch Pokemon]

In my ground type monorun, it was Trash Cloak Wormadan. It is one of the just two pokemon that are or can become ground types available before Julia (the other being Turtwig or Mudkip). STAB Bug Bite was good against Fern and Florinia, but it doesn't learn ANY ground type moves by level besides Fissure so it got benched before I fought Corey.

[Can you smell what I'm cooking?]

Hello and welcome! To me, bad jokes and puns are almost as tasty as bacon itself! Although I think Blaziken is more KFC.

Enjoy your time here!

[Zubat where are you?]

Zubat are also on Azurine Island at night.

[Casual Discussions!!]

Can't wait to be an ace one day which will be at the end of E18!

I won't be an ace member until Generation 10! I'm excited for Super Extra Mega Primal Evolution!

[Casual Discussions!!]

Nope, we can only talk about sleep or what we had for breakfast on this thread! Today I had churros! They were good and cinnamon-y.

Really, I like the idea of this thread!

[Pick a pokemon for me to train!]

You could try some Bug types! Heracross is probably the best one available, but there are other solid bug types like Yanmega, Leavanny or Scolipede. Venomoth and Vivillion can be good as well. (Quiver Dance all day!)

[I love how in this game]

For Solaris, you can also catch a Murkrow with Prankster and Perish Song. No Focus Sash required!

[Champ in the making guy]

I miss him as well, but I do like having Ame guide us throughout the game. My theory is that he will be the champion.

[Today I Learned]

Today I learned that in a multi battle, the move Beat Up can hit up to 12 times.

[Fighting types]

Sawk and Throh are both available in Pyrous Mountain as of episode 15. Sawk hits hard and fairly fast with the useful abilities Sturdy and Mold Breaker, and Throh has some good bulk with Guts and Mold Breaker as abilities. They also both get Bulk Up as a level up move. However, they both need TMs or move tutors in order to get good coverage, and don't learn any moves from breeding.

[Zebstrika Vs Golurk]

For Shadow Punch: 60 base power * 1.2 boost with Iron Fist = 72 * 1.5 for STAB = 108. Iron Fist can also be used to boost the power of the elemental punches when they are available. Hammer Arm with Iron Fist is one of Golurk's best moves at a boosted 120 power and the speed drop, while not exactly helpful, is usually not a huge deal since Golurk is slow anyway.

No Guard is good as well as an accurate Dynamic Punch with guaranteed confusion is great. However, No Guard also means all attacks aimed at Golurk won't ever miss either, even when using moves like Phantom Force, which can be a problem. Despite that, Phantom Force is still more powerful than Shadow Punch even with Iron Fist, and the AI isn't smart enough to take advantage of a multi-turn move by switching to a pokemon that resists or is immune to the attack. Phantom Force also attacks through and negates moves like Protect as a nice bonus.

So, either ability can work, the choice mainly depends on personal preference.

[is this team good?]

That's a pretty solid team! The only potential issue I see is that besides Swoobat, the rest of your team has medium to low speed. However, Marshtomp and Ampharos are both pretty bulky and Ampharos can use paralysis to fix this issue for the most part.

There are some double battles coming up, so having Ampharos use Discharge with your Numel/Marshtomp and using ground type moves with Swoobat can work well. This team can work against the next few gym leaders at least.

[Video game music]

I can think of most any track from Kid Icarus: Uprising

Boss Battle 1:

Viridi, Goddess of Nature:

Lightning Battle:

Mysterious Invaders:

Lightning Chariot Base:

Destroyed Skyworld:

[Cool stuff you'd like to see in Reborn]

I'd like to be able to team up with a pokemon, especially a legendary, in battle against Team Meteor or in some sort of sidequest with the opportunity to obtain them afterwards. It could work with pokemon able to communicate/empathize well with humans like the Lake Guardians. I mean, Azelf/Mesprit/Uxie aren't too OP to have by the later part of the game.

[Zebstrika Vs Golurk]

Golurk will be better than Zebstrika against Radomus for a few reasons: the advantage of ghost STAB over psychic, the fact Radomus likes to use Trick Room which means with Golurk's lower base speed it will be "faster" than Zebstrika, and the field effect Radomus uses gives psychic moves a secondary rock typing which Golurk resists being part ground type.

If you can, I'd suggest using the move relearner on Golurk to replace Curse with Shadow Punch, because after an Iron Fist and STAB boost, it is a 108 power move that can't miss. However, if you want to use Dynamic Punch, Golurk's ability can be changed to No Guard so Dynamic Punch doesn't miss.
