Azumarill would be good and it would give me another fairy. Problem is I'd have to trade for it....I'm sure I have a few extra shinies somewhere. I was thinking about Weavile earlier too. Would involve some breeding for icicle crash. I know I have a shiny venipede... TURNS OUT IT WAS REALLY DAMN GOOD. Just need to switch the nature from Modest. Now I wish I didn't catch it in a great ball but hindsight is twenty twenty. Oh I know you can get Frillish without the island. It was more if I went for the water/ghost then I'd be looking for another poison type and I was thinking about bulbasaur so. XD

Ok so since I'm too lazy to write out all my mons, I'm just gonna take a picture. Aren't my babies beautiful? Now Dewgong and especially Sharpedo have become out classed at this point so I've been thinking about replacing one or both. So I've been looking at the jellyfish. Tentacool would supply another poison type to my mons which I only really have two. Frillish is also a really good option with another ghost. The thing is, whatever I pick will probably set what I donate too. I know there is also Lapras but... I think these are the saddest IVs I've ever seen on a pokemon. Less breeding I have to do for shinies, the better.

I think I ran into one in Obsidian park. It was just in the grass.

Because I just found Mudkip myself...SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS

Moxie Scrafty broke the last PULSE fight for me. My Scrafty had the Fire Fang egg move so by the time the pulse came out it was at +5 attack since it could deal with all their pokemon by itself. So I once shot it. To be honest I've always had ways to deal with all the Pulses so none have walled me? I think the steelix was harder for me than the Pulses have been. On the mono-fossil run however....Tangrowths, Swalot and Avalugg all were pains for me. The Tangrowths, grass/steel is my bane in the early game since I didn't really have anything to take care of them. Swalot and Avalugg were just both tanks and I can't smash tanks easily. Haven't done the latest Pulse on that run yet and I imagine it's gonna be a pain.

So one box of birds later... Three shines(Fennekin, Noivern, Chikorita). So what I've noticed is there is either a bug currently or hardy is the most common nature ever because 26 of the 30 are hardy nature. My favorite one is the highly illegal Meowstic. I won't show who sent it butttt yaaaa. Overall fun times.

I keep sending my murder birds to you.They are suppose to be for everyone. Share. I'll keep what I got from you and send most of them out tomorrow sometime. X3

Twitch = Twitch

So after thinking long and hard about what I wanted to send out in Wonder Trade, I settled on this. Now why in the world would choose to send out a bunch of crows when you can get one fairly early in the game? Well They all have 27 attack IVs and 31 speed IVs. Sadly I didn't get a shiny but that's how it goes. Time to release a few from the flock.

I see a lot of Cradily thumbnails and I will watch for that. I use one in my mono-fossil run and it's a beast. Could I sugest you put you videos in a playlist? Makes it easier for that watchers/I am lazy. I look forward to watching this.

I haven't finished the ep yet so I'll avoid talking about it besides So non spoily stuff ...Some of the shiny sprites got redone like Gardevoir! Not a huge amount but a few and I do like the new Gardevoir. Another thing I notice was well...I was a bit under leveled with most of my mons being at the 70s. That's ok since I remembered the trainers at the Grandhall were upgraded whoo! I don't know if that's spoily but I'll hide it to make sure but..that's a huge jump from Clown Inwin(I think that was his name) 65 teams. I mean they are possible to beat but you're not one shotting anything without set up and type advantage, that's for sure.

Spent the whole day moving my grandmother's stuff out while she's gone to Florida. Me and my family are tired but this is amazing to see...Right after we go out for pizza. I can't wait to start my fossil run again!

Team Skull Encounter and Aether Foundation Employee Battle. How could you not like those violins and piano? The whole proper but desperate feel to the music just mmmm. Special mention goes to the Abandoned Site Music for MESSING ME WITH SO MUCH AHHHHH. The soundtrack is so amazing in this game I love it.

Air balloon+ Soundproof Bastiodon watch it unable to do anything.

Rock has to be one of the harder ones if only due to the fact it has five weaknesses that are all VERY common in the game(Fighting, Grass, Ground, Steel, Water). My limited mono rock run taught me everything has either a grass or a steel move so it was very difficult to get around some of gyms. Hardest gym was probably Shelly. Why? Wormadam. Having no fighting or fire moves ya...That thing was a little bit of hell. It IS very possible to do as I have finished the current episode and I'm excited to start it up again with the next one.

Few resets later and me and my leafy bug are ready to take on the world. I really like how the icon sprite is shiny as well. Makes it really easy to see when you're soft reseting for a shiny. I'm looking forward to playing this. =3

Sola would like to welcome you to 'we were crazy enough to SR for a female starter' club. I've gotten all the event pokemon female and shiny so...I know your pain. Takes awhile but I'm proud of my lot.

I did a limited rock run(fossil pokemon only) and oh boy was it fun and challenging but I finished up to the current episode. I might ask a friend for one of the types and make a run based on that. Wouldn't mind doing ice or ghost though. Funny enough my favorite types are fire, psychic and water but I don't even consider doing those runs. XD

WELCOME TO HELL! But really, welcome to the mono rock run clubs! I wasn't brave enough to do Hardcore but that's why there are crazy people like you who will! If everything hated rocks in a normal run, everything is REALLY going to hate rocks in a hardcore run. Good luck my rocky friend. May your fossils serve you well.

Thank you BlackRum and we don't need sticks...We have big rocks after all! Of course me posting only means one thing... First try but man did it come down to the wire. I thought long and hard about the lead pokemon and I went with a gamble, Tyrantrum. T-Cheese started with DDance, Outrage hit the partner pokemon and Blizzard missed. So I tried an Earthquake and...That didn't go so well. Then Outrage hit T-Cheese and well...No surviving that. The confusion on Hax did kill it though. One down. Next I tried to set up Omastar and the boosted surf managed to get Walwrin and Rhyperior down but falls, leaving Florinia to clean up what I started. I sent out Rampardos to Hammer Arm Mamoswine when that came out because I really didn't want to deal with that thing. Krookodile came out and between it and the Rotom Rampardos fell...And triggered Krookodile's Moxie. Scary, but it was still raining. Out comes Nautilaus with Swift Swim and a mean X-Scissor to take it down. Meanwhile Florinia is going to town on the Rotom and manages to kill it. Flo did a lot of work, downing Scizor. Naut hit Weavile with smack down before falling to Scizor. Jyxn came out so I sent out Zeph...U-Turn OP! One shot it then I sent out Lilly and Ancient Powered Froslass, almost killed it. Fern had sent out Serperior and was doing his thing. I have Giga Drain down on my notes so I must have finished Froslass of with it before she fell. then it was just a matter of murder birb going Acrobatics, Acrobatics and the fight was over. This fight was much easier than the last one. I think I lost three pokemon. Juilia put her weight into it. With that, the very long three battles in a row were over. Victory was ourts.... Then I needed to prep for the next fight. Ok, I was ready. This fight pretty much became 'Throw rocks at it with Murder Bird, U-Turn out if they are faster and heal up'. Glacia took care of Glisor with an ice beam. All too soon it was time for that Mega Altaria....Well remember that Balloon? Bastiodon has Soundproof. Sing and Hyper Voice won't work on it. So it tries to Earthquake but can't hit it since it's floating in the air. Many Iron Heads later. Post Fight Picture Episode 15 has been completed! So, what did I learn? You don't see a lot of mono rock runs and for a good reason. It's hard. When you limit yourself even further, it's harder and we're still not out of the woods yet. We still have a steel gym to do and the fairy gym coming up with I know is just going to be full of fire, psychic and fighting moves because I will never catch a break with my rocks. The Fossils that have been surprisingly useful: Cradily- MAN THIS THING IS A BEAST! Surprisingly tanky with Recover and Giga Drain. Ancient Power gives me a chance for stat boosts and just to mess with people I run Confuse Ray. Rampardos- My go to steel and poison killer. Head Smash, Hammer Arm, Zen Headbutt. I just have to watch out since Hammer Arm does slower it's speed and it's already slow as it is. A pretty good rock pokemon. Omastar- This thing solod Terra...I mean come on. Reborn is designed not to be able to do that but Rain Dance, Shell Smash, Surf? Ya...Bye bye. Armaldo- If Omastar sets up Rain Dance? Watch out. Even then watch out you better hope you're faster than this thing. X-Scissor is a great move and Cross Poison hurts those fairies. I've got Crush Claw(filler) and Smach Down on it too. It will be better when we get the Rock Slide TM. Armaldo has really pulled it's weight through this run. The Fossils that I thought I'd use, but don't. Aerodactyl- It's probably gonna see more use since I just got Acrobatics but wing attack was it's strongest flying move before that. Doesn't help that most of it's good moves are behind TMs we don't have or Tutors we don't have. Kabutops- Again, should see some more use since it has Brick Break but if I need a water type I either go Omastar or Carracosta Bastiodon- Well...It's a tank...I don't like tanks...In the box! Beyond that...I use all of my fossils depending on the situation. I'm always at the pc deciding which ones to bring I mean heck, I didn't bring Murder Birb to the Terra fight. Didn't need to. Bastiodon made that Mega Altaria a laughing joke with a balloon. They all have their strengths and weaknesses and it's really fun to take a type not many people mono, limit it down farther to 11 pokemon and then say 'good luck everything can just about one shot you' and make it work. The impossible is very possible with some work. When episode 16 comes out I'll be sure to continue this and smash through any walls with these rock hard pokemon.

It's time for another 'I don't want to do the next fight so I'm going to sit here and write what I've done so far!' Eclipse/Aster fight! The last one! I think I had to restart once...Then I discovered that Miloctic likes to use water moves and I have a Storm Drain fossil plant. Also when I got rid of Magmortar there wasn't anything TO take care of killer plant. It made for an amusing fight. Second reset. I wasn't comfortable letting an Eruption off so I went with T-cheese. Send out Murder Birb and T-Rex and I WOULD have probably dealt with her whole team with just those two but SOMEONE missed their Rock Throw on Darmanitan and got 1KO back WITH a Rock Throw. So then the fight became the two Kalos Dinos. It might sound silly to put the Rock/Ice type out but...Aurorus knows Light Screen. That and Aurorus took care of the pesky Rotom while T-cheese DDanced away. That pretty much sealed Charlotte's fate and I proceeded to Earthquake her team and my own down. I forget this fight but I think I just beat it until it stopped moving. I choose not to give Blake the ring so I got the last what's his face fight for Waterfall...Pretty sad, I don't remember having any troubles with him. Post Blake screen shot because I forgot to take a screen shot during the battle...HE HURTS A LOT ON THE MOUNTAIN TOP! My poor dinos. We still managed to beat him so it;s all good. This was one of the fights I was worried about. That Mewtwo hurts. This was my second try. X-Scissor couldn't one shot Mewtwo and Nautilaus is slower than molasses so on my second try I lead with Omastar so I could set up Rain Dance and Surf to get some damage down THEN brought out Nautilaus once Omastar had fallen. I have TWO victory windows against Terra because I soft reset for something and forgot to save after beating her! Not that it mattered. The first window was my first try on her. How to beat Terra with one pokemon, Omastar: Shell Smash>Rain Dance> Surf until everything is dead> Yell at Terra for using Scald when she should have healed> Spam Surf to win. Really, Shell Smashed Omastar two shot even Quagsire. That's impressive. Post Terra fight screen shot. I didn't even use my five other pokemon. Taaaannnnkkkkkkksssss.... Reset until Discharge paralyzes him, put up Light Screen, spam all your hard hitting moves until dead. I like Taka so I kicked his ass. That key gave me some problems but after some careful set up I got him. Now I'm at the fight I don't want to do...Fern and Blake...Urrrggggg how do I beat a Grass/Ice fight with rocks. I'll figure it out but...It's gonna be tough.

Get yourself and train a pick up team for cash money(meowths are great with pay day). The shiny rate has also been raised to about 1/100 so it's much easier to find shinies. Reborn also has custom shinies so if you don't mind spending a little time you can have a team of shinies. Check every box, every rock, every dirt pile. Hidden goodies everywhere!
