I'd like to propose Haxorus for A+ rank: + Obtainable as a starter, if you're lucky or patient enough with the jackpot machine + Axew learns Dragon Rage at level 10. That early on Dragon Rage is deadly, OHKO's most other lvl 10+ 'mons. Not to mention it can 2HKO pretty much anything a bit later on as well, making Dragon Rage very effective for the first two gyms + Dragon-typing leaves few weaknesses, so you're not getting hit by super-effective moves very often + Learns both Dragon Claw and Dragon Dance early as well (lvl 28-32), so you can just replace Dragon Rage at this point + High Attack stat, combined with good Speed and aforementioned moves means Haxorus will at least hit hard if setting up and sweeping isn't possible (which it can do in many cases, like against Crawli for example) - Evolves quite late, going by the level caps you still have Axew versus Marianette - There aren't that many moves you can teach it via TMs - Requires patience or luck to obtain

I don't understand this question. Time Flute will be given to you and you can't sell it as far as I know.

The gemstones are located in Amethyst Cave, not Grotto. Iirc you need Rock Climb, there's a very short rock-climbing wall in the second(?) floor - there were some Xen Grunts around when you first entered. Basically you just go to explore the part of the cave that was blocked by Galvantula web. Prepare for a couple of battles. They might be tough, but nothing unmanageable.

Afaik there are no such people in the game yet. You can buy them from one of the vendors in Route 3. Several of them are hidden in various locations.

As the name implies, Bronze Mountain is the mountain on Bronze Island. Have you done all the jobs of Addenfall Ranger's guild? Because that's what you have to do in order to get there. You can get Moon Stones with Pickup as well. I'm not sure what level, but 51+ can get you Sun Stones too.

In Weeping Depths. Interact with the broken tombstones, one of them will unlock an entrance to a secret room. Aron is in that secret room.

Heat Rock is in Vejyr, the same room as the lost Ponyta. It's a hidden item, on the rock in the left side of the lava river iirc.

Milk Drink. It's not like I can drink milk.

Don't worry, he is by far the most difficult leader in the game. What's your team like? Perhaps I could provide some tips and advice on how to beat him.

Hardy's field already weakens Water and Grass-moves, which tend to be 4x weaknesses for Rock-types since quite a few of them are also Ground-types. Rock-type moves get Fire-type added in them there, so Steel doesn't counter them that badly/hard. This same effect also makes your Rock-type moves not very effective, unless he has 'mons like Aggron (which I doubt, since iirc some Fire-type moves get buffed as well, so he would shoot himself in the leg). I'd say the best approach would be using Fighting-types. Even if you got rid of his field, turning it into Cave-field, his Rock-type moves still get buffed. I'd say Hardy is one of the more tougher leaders, partially thanks to his field. I cannot comment on his team, as I can only speculate which 'mons he has. I don't wish to find that out before-hand.

I didn't get that far before I had to restart, so I didn't know. Still, there aren't that many Dark-types in the game so it's nice to have another option than Liepard or Mightyena.

If I may, I'd like to suggest a topic. What's your stance on god/God/gods? It's worth noting that I don't mean religious points of view, but rather, the concept/idea of god/God. Religion could be used as a background for inspection, I don't mean to cause debate over whose religion is "correct". To clarify: does god exist? If so, is it/he (usually referred as a he) sentient? Is god omnipotent, or just watching by the domino or snowball effect he caused? Is god benevolent, malicious or neither? What if god is not, in fact, a sentient being but rather, a cluster of (abstract) ideals or such, or some sort of ultimate force of nature? If this topic is deemed too religious, then it most likely will be deleted. While I hope that doesn't happen, I understand if that happens.

a Team Leader. I guess it's up to people themselves to decide whether I am evil or not, if I'm a villain or a hero.

I guess the error that happened with my previous save file had something to do with saving and quitting too fast. I decided to start over and now I've finished the current version. I have to say:

I don't know if Fairy would have been appropriate typing for Mightyena. The stats distribution seems very min-maxed (not Beedrill min-maxed, though), the thing is I have mixed feelings about that. With those stats Megahyena is crazy good, maybe even too good for it's own good. With that Speed it outspeeds most Pokemon, and Strong Jaw, combined with Crunch and Moxie-boosted attack will destroy anything that doesn't resist Dark. On top of that you can breed elemental fangs on it for coverage, not to mention it now gets Shadow Sneak as another priority move.

I run Rock Smash on my Dusknoir. Makes leveling up super easy. My Toxicroak also knows Rock Smash, the defense decrease and chance to poison with Poison Touch make a nice "combo", especially when you can finish faster opponents off with Sucker Punch or the slower ones with Venoshock. Venoshock is special move, but deals massive damage to poisoned foes. Edit: So I double-posted because of lag...
