Welcome to Reborn, kyle-nil, hope you enjoy your stay and have fun, and as what Combat Medic stated, strategy is quite important especially when you are faced with field effects and gym leaders that possess mons with good IVs as opposed to canon games, and what is deemed rarely used moves in canon games might save you in clutches in battles. Anyway good luck and have fun with your playthrough.

Welcome to Reborn, hope you enjoy your stay and have fun

I know no words will make up for those who've lost their dearest to the tragedy, nevertheless my prayers for the injured, deceased and the grieving families, hope they stay strong in the face of the worst moments of humanity.

Poor Whisper the Whismur. I guess you can recatch another mon for route 207, you can set up a poll for your questionaire as it is easier for your survey.

Happy Birthday, Ikaru, best wishes to you and what you aspire to~

Yup, i can see the previous images now, like what Tomas said, go with Imgur, more reliable.

Good luck with the playthrough, wytch and lol the bidoof got killed, how are we supposed to learn how to catch pokemon now, Lucas? Will the Prygon2 be staying or considered dead?

Welcome to Reborn, Tezca, hope you enjoy your stay, and good luck with your playthrough

QoTD 11/11 Paris, Zurich, Maldives, Rio De Janeiro, Rome and Tokyo when i have gotten the spare time to travel

QoTD 11/9 I guess my greatest achievement would be gotten my dance team through to final in college, and also survived freshman year of college

The pokedex in Reborn is not reliable, it is indeed a wild encounter in route 3, and route 3 is post Agate, until then, i believe there is no way to get Gligar early on, or i might have gotten it wrong.

Everyone's analyses have been so amazing and detailed oriented. Dragalge ranked B +great movepools with STABs which include: dragon tail, acid, water gun, twister, poison tail, water pulse, double team, toxic, aqua tail, sludge bomb, hydro pump, dragon pulse, feint attack, acid armor(breed), haze(breed), play rough(breed), toxic spikes (breed), venom drench(breed), surf HM, shadow ball TM +available pretty early with good rod fishing in gearen sewer, you can get it even in pre Venam +great ability adaptability, which allows STAB to go twice as powerful instead of 1.5, given most Dragalge leveling up moves are STABs, it is most recommended, poison touch/poison point on top of requiring physical contact, the chance of activation is slim +65/90/123 are amazing bulk, can work as a tank, and whittles down opponents with learnt Toxic, acid armor could even potentially raise defense more if you breed it +75 base attack and 97 base sp attack allow dragalge to land massive damage on opponents while tanking their attacks, it is particularly helpful in Crawli's battle and Valerie's battle when it stays as a Skrelp +unique typing with dragon/poison helps with Aelita's rebattle post Angie since it resists all Aelita's movesets, Skrelp's poison/water typing also helps with couple of major NPCs like Rorrim B -the reason it is not in A rank is because it stays as Skrelp throughout most of the current game, which is quite difficult to raise -its nonexistent speed is its major flaw -before the type changes happen upon evolution, it cant do much against early gym leaders until Crawli with mediocre stats those of Skrelp's, and of course no one with sound mind would use dragons for Angie, which leaves it with Amber and Crawli for gym leader battles -loses water STAB with adaptability boost after evolution, which is a shame considering many of its moves are water type moves Also, reserve Walrein for later if no one has done it already.

The 'whale' Kyogre, it is a pain to deal with, even with light screen up, it still took only a single hit to take out my Cryogonal which was supposed to be my wall.

I wouldnt subject my dearest partners to such cruelty, plus PULSE mons only excel in certain stat, some of them are even glass cannons(Pulse Abra), leaving them vulnerable to right strategy to bring them down.

So far, yes, eevee is only available as a starter, but you can always soft reset the event ditto for desirable IVs and nature and mine an everstone to breed the eevee

http://www.pokemonreborn.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=14182 This thread can shed some light to your dark theme run, if you are looking for dark type in each progress you make in term of gym leaders. Skuntank is a pretty good early dark type mon with neutrality to fighting with only one weakness to ground, as well as Drapion.

I hate legendaries both in-game(low catch rate is frustrating and my patience was easily worn thin) and competitively speaking, that is why i mostly play NU and PU(one or two legendary is fine like Articuno, not using it anyway), occasionally LC, but then who am i to comment, i am just an amateur of the amateurs.

Admit it Jan, there is always a loophole to exploit around your perfect plan XD

Gen 4 introduced a type of trainers called stat trainers, which basically means that they specialize in certain stats and train exclusively pokemon which excel in particular stat. My question is if you were a stat trainer, what stat would you be focusing on and why? Mine is special attack, as my favourite types Psychic/Ghost/Ice are mostly special sweepers, and my signature mon for it would be Roserade.

Congrats Ark! Best wishes to you and the Dream Team, and applauds!

Happy B-day Nickaboo, i hope he revisits this forum soon, and wish him the best with the LP.

replace Quick Attack perhaps, to get more coverage

For gym leaders, I had a hard time against Samson, mostly because my team wasnt hitting hard enough resulting in him revenge kill all my mons, plus i wasnt always well-prepared for his field, that Hawlucha and speed boost Blaziken were definitely threats to look out for. I also had some trouble with Shade during my duotype(Fighting/Fairy) second run mainly because there wasnt a mon that could handle them properly. As for major NPCs, the battle with Aster and Eclipse in route 3 cave was pretty tough for me, the mons i had with me couldnt gain an edge over them.

It is great, tho i might have a problem with Greninja getting all the spotlights, it seems unfair to other Ash's mons like Hawlucha and Talonflame who were also putting in a lot of work in gym battles...
