Nanami's-Egg

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

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

Here's pic of me from a few years ago I like:

Welcome! I new here too! This game is indeed a lot of fun and challenging and the great music adds to the atmosphere of the game. The story takes a bit a time before it gets going, but it becomes compelling a few gyms in. There are a few dungeon and cave-like places that can be a bit grueling but they are not so difficult. Some even have have special healing items and/or PC access, so attrition is not a big issue. Gym leaders and bosses are usually a challenge but not impossible to overcome. Devising various strategies to defeat them is one of the best aspects of the game for me. One of the more difficult parts of the game is that many pokemon, like Ralts for Gardevoir, can only be acquired through special events, but they are certainly available. However, if you need help with anything, just use the search bar or simply ask us. Enjoy your time here!

Yeah, I sided with Team Magma and did several soft resets for Houndour to get good IVs, but it had no egg moves.

First, I want to say this guide/walkthrough is great and has been a big help for my new run through Reborn after Episode 15 was released! I started a dark monotype run right after Episode 15 was released, so I have some info about some dark type event pokemon, as well some other pokemon I've encountered. Wild Mawile are available in the Underground Railnet after using Rock Smash between Shelly and Shade. Wild Zubat are on Azurine Island at night. As for the event pokemon: Murkrow can be caught in the Team Aqua Hideout at level 25 on a windy night. It has a Assurance/Night Shade/Wing Attack as normal level-up moves as well as one of three special egg moves: Perish Song, Brave Bird or Roost. Murkrow can be caught if the player joins either team. Houndour can be found in the Team Magma Base, either as a gift if you joined Team Magma, or found in the abandoned Team Magma Hideout if the player joined Team Aqua. The gift Houndour will be at level 30, having Fire Fang/Beat Up/Odor Sleuth/Bite and (sadly) no egg moves. Scraggy can be obtained at level 30 with Brick Break/Payback/Chip Away, and one of five(!) different egg moves: Dragon Dance, Drain Punch, Ice Punch, Thunder Punch or Fire Punch. Zorua can be caught at level 30 with Foul Play/Taunt/Scary Face and Extrasensory as the only possible egg move. Five Nuzleaf can be obtained after the Shiftry event, ranging in level from the 20s to the low 30s. They will have three of the following moves depending on level: Swagger/Leaf Blade/Razor Wind/Torment and one of the following egg moves: Leech Seed, Foul Play or Grassy Terrain

Hello, Reborn! I am Nanami's-Egg, but you can call me Nanami for short. Or Egg, I guess. Or even Eggie... I'm fine with any of those, really. I've been playing Reborn for a good while now, since Episode 9 or so, back when godly Magikarp and powerful Staraptor roamed free. However I didn't join until now because I am a bit quite silly and felt nervous joining here along with stuff in my life keeping me busy like evil school. Anyway, about me: I am a graduate in biological engineering and like anime, video games, reading, puns, animals and...various other things I can't think of at the moment. I am excited to become part of this community!
