OH MY SORRY XD Two times assumingsomeone is in hardcore x) But well, a level 75 Garchomp with a restriction as hard as yours is something, you don't have to feel guilty about a give up. That's not something all teams can handle, and without a perish song user, a prankster, or a sturdy thing, you will bite the dust anyway. Or you send butterfree with focus sash and poison powder, but well...That sucks. I think you may skip it without feeling guilty ^^

Rebellion Diary Chapter 3 :So, we're a "Pokemon Gang" ? Waitiing was long, very long. While i was able to cure myself by drinking my milk, the guys in my squad couldn't drink it because they fainted before, so i was here, waiting at the pokemon center for them to heal. Well, that wouldn't be our last hits taken, but that feels strange when it's the first time. They battled like pros versus Victoria, even if in the end i had to do it myself, i couldn't make it if not for those three idiots....That's weird. .... And the man is ready to go ! Chubb ! You're safe ! Tchh ! Of course i'm safe. That Makuhita owes me one. We're here too St3ffo ! Dragon ! I'm relieved you're all safe ! You're relieved...Huh? :3 Stop that. You're three fools, that's what you are ! I dont want to have one of you guys's death on my conscience. That's all. Suuuureeee.....*3* Well, didn't we have to go in Obsidia Slums, you're ready Milky? That's Bessie , not Milky ! But yeah, i'm ready to go. We left together the pokemon center, Joy is kind, even if she remarked i was a pokemon , she didn't mention it and went like all of this was normal. She helped my buddys, and now we can go on the way to the slums... .... .. This....This place is a little creepy. That's the slums, we have to get through that to go in the other part of Obsidia. .... And then , we entered. We passed some trainers, letting St3ffo and the boys grow. I didn't have to fight any pokemons in the whole cave..I guess that's men's pride, they did take care of everything...How foolish they are, i'm not that weak. But well, that's cool to have such partners. I guess. While you guys were battling, a trainer told me something interesting. What is it? So....We...We are a pokemon gang...? Seems so. There are other like us so ? Let's find them C'mon buddy, they surely aren't as kind as us. Let's proceed with caution We walked a few minutes after that, and we found a strange box, somehow we couldn't try to take it, we followed it instead. The box ran away few times, but in the end, there was no escape for it. Chubb approached it, a scraggy jumped out of it. he was accompanied by two scraggys. http://i.imgur.com/lCLfPDC.png Ohhhh Scraggy !!! We're from the same Region !!! I'm Dragon116 ! I'm a Tynamo that dreams to be a Noi--- Don't approach !! This is our Territory !! If you dare coming more, we'll attack ! B...But...We need to pass the slums to go ahead D: Pweaaase scraggys D: Well....If you don't leave by yourselves......DAD !!!! Bring it. We're not affraid. We were starring at the group, while something blowed the door behind them from inside, a pokemon appeared, that was Scrafty, Scraggy's evolution...That was bad, really bad....REALLY BAD. You should have left, you fools. Let's go. Hey , girl. Leave this to us. What are you saying? You're a normal type, you just can't make it. Leave this to... The St3ffo Dragon duo Dynamo Noivern !!!! And the battle started. I was starring at the two fools on the field, they were against two of those scraggys. They didn't seem that impressive; but i was surprised as fuck when the first round started. While Dragon116 managed to paralize one of them, and St3ffo using charm on the other, the two pokemons concentrated their attacks on Dragon, kicking him by two fighting moves at once. I understood at this point how rude gang battles are, there isn't any rule in the Pokemon black market. I wanted to go, but once again, Chubb stopped me. Lemme bear this. The pokemon jumped on the field to stand along with St3ffo, but despite the spark being a good offensive move, he got poisoned by one of the scraggys and i didn't have anything to heal him. St3ffo continued to charm the other, making him really nothing for us, but he got poisoned aswell next turn. The duo managed to defeat one scraggy, while the other was unable to make damages because of both paralysis and charms on its attack, but were not able to stand the poison. Chubb fainted, while St3ffo was on the edge of defeat. I'm counting on you....Girl... No more "excuse me i failed?" ..... Well, that's a good thing. You did well. I jumped on the field, at this point, there were still those two scraggys and the father behind. I used stomp on the scraggys that wasn't paralized, while st3ffo helped me in a last effort by using a last charm on the other scraggy removing him as a danger for me. You may have beatten my sons, but you can't win this by yourself, lemme end that. My partners did well, i wont let them suffer in vain, come on. The father came, the son gave me some hits, but couldn't scratch me thanks to St3ffo, i used multiple stomps on the father, tanking those few brick breaks with my body. It hurted, but i couldn't let him win after all that. I drank some milk, letting me recover from my wounds, and in final, i took down the father...And the son just after that...We won. Urgh......Okay. You shall pass. Sons, Retreat. We'll have our revenge, soon or later. .... Again...Without them, i couldn't make the fight alone. Those fools are really incredible. They may not be huge , but they're determinated. If only some pokemons back in the days i was at route 1 could be like them....Well... Aren't you tired of riding my back to the Pokemon Center? I'm sure you're actually enjoying that...C'mon girl, smiiiile. I wish i was a Jigglypuff, i could sing and you would shut up for once.... And with this, we went to Coral Ward...Waiting for new adventures to show themselves.... Our squad.

Rebellion Diary Chapter 2 : Recruiting Comrades, Victoria's Decision Julia was exhausting. Battlinga gym leader was way different from those casual thugs i found in Peridot. I had to go quickly in a pokemon center, Otherwise, i would faint from exahaustion...Well lucky me, the Pokemon center wasn't far away, and i could be cured before fainting. But this experience showed me that i was lacking partners. In this Stormy day, i had to find new comrades..... Near to the Gym, there was someone. Something. Call it as you want. But that was a pokemon, An electric Zebra i didn't know much about, but whatever, i'll ask him. Well, Chubb freshly joined and dragged me somewhere, that was near to Obsidia Bridge. There were two mans hurting a pokemon, i see why he dragged me there....To battle those two....He talked to me at this precise time. And...We followed St3ffo our brand new partner through Peridot ward, apparently, he told us on the way there was a pokemon stuck at the top of something and he couldn't get back on earth. So well, we'll help him...That poor thing....Well. We arrived, and we found it. And with that, we formed a 4 man army , i was the leader, leading them until Obsidia Ward. Victoria told me before there was a catastrophe ungoing, and to be honest i didn't care at all...But well, i have to pass through it to gain another badge...Well. There we go. http://i.imgur.com/DtRhVcY.png http://i.imgur.com/DZl4nM6.png This...Person? *3* Just sftu please. They're believing i'm an human in disguise. Hopeless.... Ikr... And i found Victoria...Who was worried about me getting though the slums, there were men attacking them? It's raining men? Okay bad joke. And with that, our first battle together was done, on the way to the Pokemon Center, i was really happy, i found some partners that i can rely on, and that's not a thing you can have easily. My my, what's happening next...That's scary...But i'm not alone anymore... Pfff, they're incredible... You smiled, didn't you? :3 Just, shut , the , fuck UP ! The squad at the moment. http://i.imgur.com/VZu7XRP.png

I guess we could see Taka die aswell since Solaris wants to punish him for betraying Meteor.

I mean with super potions ^^ I did that in my fighting mono run, i took the one that could hit hard and sent it along with a strong pokemon. The hithard keep spamming crunches and hjkicks while i spent the other pokemon's turn in using super potions to heal my champion. http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Quagsire_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29 He learns mud bomb who will hit with double stab in the wasteland field and resist some poison. I guess you can try with him.

Oh i didnt think it could learn the move AND go with this ability, i like this Sudowoodo is surprisingly good, i might consider it for the future Anyway i'll try to see if i cant find a way for Aya

Was it donphan who killed solaris? o:

Try to identify the pokemon that hits the hardest Aya in your team, then send him along with another pokemon. Hit with the "rocky pokemon" and heal it constantly using the other. It should be fine this way.

Thank you everyone for giving your regards to this rebellion, and i hope this will be a success aswell. However, i'm not letting you wait, i'm writing a Diary and i'll open it for you, kind humans. Rebellion Diary Chapter One : Everything has a start. That was time for me to leave that silly Route 1, i prepared some items before leaving. I'm looking a last time at the Route, watching those Tauros and those Miltanks doing the same thing as yesterday, and the same thing as Tomorrow. None of them wished to follow me in my trip, i guess there isn't any true friend you can count on after all. So i left alone. I took a train to Reborn City, but well, the thing was attacked and i lost all items i gathered before leaving. Thank you.... I arrived here, and i was given a warm welcome. But well, a walking cow alone isn't shocking it seems. They did immediately catch that i was a new trainer in reborn, despite my appearence, maybe they're thinking i'm in disguise? Well, who would like to disguise into a cow? Humans are really crazy. I met a girl whose name were Victoria...And the...This guy. I beg your Pardon? Do you want me to stomp you? Well, skip this guy, he's lame. The girl came back and surprisingly wanted to try battle aswell. I guess i wont have any bedtime in this trip...Well. Let's be natural and act like a trainer. I can finaly go out, and train myself. I did not have any occasion to fight while in route 1 since there were those tauros and bouffalants constantly fighting for the breeding purpose...All i was, was some feminine meat to eat for them, so i never really fought, and man that's exciting ! Anyway, i encountered some people, and some did have weird things to tell about me. Well, he played the game. Since i had curse, it was quite easy to break through the Swag Jockey's defenses, Stomp is incredibly powerful in early game, and it was an easy win during all the fight. One curse, spamming stomp , and here you go o: I guess i'm growing up too fast though. I'll slow a bit. Well, the green haired guy was kicked out and i was able to intend to battle the first gym. But the green haired girl showed up in an explosive style and asked me to help her. Well, you know you're asking a cow to help you taking down an evil team? Geez. Finaly, i was able to get through the grunts, and.... Fern is teaming up with a cow, loser. :3 Well, the match itself wasn't that hard, Rollout got Magmar pretty easily while Fern was dealing with Electabuzz. But well, i dislike the way he's ordering his pokemons, i guess he's the type of guy that just wants to win, no matter the price a pokemon pays for that. How cruel. I hate that. And, the factory exploded. .... ... And i was finaly able to battle my first gym leader. Well, my first gym battle was cool. Magnemite was a bit surprised that i was both the trainer and the pokemon. But whatever, i dont care. I placed a curse and used Stomp on the magnemite, dealing decent damages while tanking well the attacks. In the end i managed to kill it , Emolga came, trying an acrobatics, but i didn't feel anything, that wasn't enough and i crushed him with Stomp. Voltorb too didn't stay for long. That Chinchou came and i grabbed one of my tits to drink some milk, but the pokemon took the occasion to paralyze me, that idiot. I stomped him just after. http://i.imgur.com/1FoKn50.png http://i.imgur.com/cTTYeqy.png Heliolisk was next, and despite him using an attack to lower my stats, he got crushed. http://i.imgur.com/LJziXnn.png Well, i heard being over the level cap could be confusing, and that's true, i reached level 21 by beating Heliolisk,and to be honest that was really confusing to bear with my new powers, making the fight against Electrode a bit harder. However, i managed to bear with my new powers when i was almost fainting, and that's how i won, that was still a good battle, Julia, hope i'll see you another time....My my, what the fuck i am saying. http://i.imgur.com/X9IVSYh.png http://i.imgur.com/PEAXtRB.png http://i.imgur.com/hrDQmE5.png http://i.imgur.com/fpaLq6K.png It's time to gather allies, now i have the Electric badge, i may be able to convince pokemons to follow my path. See you, kind humans, in my next diary entry. In the meaning time, don't be as rude as Fern with your pokemons. I'm begging you so.

Zard Y for Charlotte please, Double Drought team is pro That would be cool because any rain dance setter (And there is many) can make the girl lose badly. Well, Rain dance is cool , but it shouldn't be an instant win imo. And Aya saved my butt against A&E too x) They're tending to ruch together on your single mon, letting Aya kill them smoothly

Well , so let's give some ranking after the end of my monorun :3 Poliwrath for B+ Rank Ability: Swift Swim Moves: Rain Dance , Waterfall/Dive , Body Slam / Circle throw Item (If applicable): Damp rock Why: Well Poliwrath is a quite good pokemon. From the middle game, Poliwrath is mandatory by providing a water coverage in the team. Without it, passing through gliscor for example is a nightmare. But even with that good advantage, Poliwrath must absolutely place a rain dance, so it must lose a turn and his movepool isn't versatile, his only water physical stab is Waterfall.....Which you gain in episode 13. So well, it is mandatory, but not powerful. Hitmonchan for D Rank Ability: Iron fist Moves: Bullet Punch, Thunder Punch, Fake Out, Close Combat Item (If applicable): Anything Why: Thought its versatile movepool would help a lot in the team, but he's clearly outclassed by medicham. He isn't bulky enough to tank anything, to fast enough to outspeed anything, and doesn't have any resistance to psychic, fairy or flying. His priority attacks wont do that much damages, even with my max ev investment. So well. Nothing big deal. Dont waste your time with him. Hawlucha for S Rank Ability: Unburden Moves: Swords dance / Bounce / Hjkick / Dual chop Item (If applicable): Focus Sash / Flying or fighting gem Why: One of the MVPs here, Hawlucha is simply an excellent answer to the main weakness of fighting monotype : most of the pokemons in the run aren't fast enough to outspeed anything, and Hawlucha with unburden outspeeds EVERYTHING. Stabbed bounce, stabbed high jump kick and swords dance will get him to tear apart lot of teams, especialy Terra and Blake. The pokemon is worth the training. Gallade for S Rank Ability: Steadfast Moves: Leaf Blade / Close combat / Night Slash / Destiny bond OR Psycho cut Item (If applicable): I gave him miracle seed Why: Gallage provides a psychic resistance and coverage aswell, night slash is useful, while leaf blade and close combat are too. Destiny bond is the thing that let me get through every boss battle, i cant beat them without Destiny bond. He's fast a quite bulky, he will help you until the end of the run in all ways because of it's versatility. It's the best answer you have for pokemons like Quagsire or That clayboybunny from Terra, it will be excellent in mostly all gyms you will take it in. Radomus will rage aswell against Gallade <3 Hitmonlee for A Rank Ability: Unburden Moves: Fake out , Close Combat , Blaze Kick , Bounce Item (If applicable): Normal Gem Why: One of the most underrated, Hitmonlee is a pokemon that has the same pro as Hawlucha, with unburden normal gem, it outspeeds everything. It helped a lot with Luna's battle, but Samson the most, since it learns bounce in Agathe Circus, making him a decent flying type user. He also has blaze kick to deal with threats like tropius and momartik, so that helps a lot. Hawlucha is better, but Hitmonlee is available early , and you can play them both for better results like i did with Terra. Infernape for A+ Rank Ability: Iron Fist Moves: Fire Pledge, Nasty plot, Close Combat , HiddenPower/Grass Knot Item (If applicable): Charcoal Why: The most useful pokemon i had early game. I recommend a special one , since Nasty plot ember, and later fire pledge helped me too much sweeping entire teams. From Julia to florinia, and Shelly, not forgetting Aya because of fire pledge getting boosted, the pokemon is really useful. One nasty plot and you're ready to sweep, that's incredible. However, in late game, he's just not fast enough to follow Terra, Ciel, and such. Medicham for S- Rank Ability: Pure Power Moves: Zen Headbutt / Ice punch / Drain Punch / Hjkick Item (If applicable): Black Belt / Icicle Plate Why: A better hitmonchan, available quickly, with a psychic stab for all poison battle and a great coverage once you reach the move tutor, i like Medicham because he's a wrecking ball on its on. Medicham also has drain punch, who helps him to stay longer and longer. However, his speed lacking will hurt him in late game, that's kinda...Bad :'( But he earns a good spot in any team. Hitmontop for B- Rank Ability: Intimidate Moves: Fake out, Drill run, Close combat, Wide Guard Item (If applicable): Anything, i gave him fighing gem. Why: It served his only role, Aka letting me get though Charlotte, but even a technician one don't hit hard enough and is outclassed. The only role he can fulfill well is a double protector with wide guard and intimidate, and only Charlotte spams eruptions and such. Chesnaught for C+ Rank Ability: BulletProof Moves: Leech Seed, Spikes, Spiky Shield, Woodhammer Item (If applicable): Any Why: Well, in the showdown, he can deal a lot of damages because we dont have any recover, but here, it's not bulky enough to stall, it's not faster enough to sweep, so you cant give him any position besides spiking the team. So well. It's a grass coverage, but you already have gallade for that. Conkeldurr for A- Rank Ability: Guts or Sheer Force (I prefear the latter) Moves: Rock slide, Bulk up, Drain punch, Superpower Item (If applicable): Black belt Why: I hate to say that, but Conkeldurr isn't as awesome as he's in the game. One of my fav fighting pokemons lost his pride here because of being available too late in the game. Sure he's one of the few to get a rock type and he's a good bulky, but Hariyama is already EV Trained at this point, got knock off, heavy slam, and Guts / Thick fat. So it's outclassed. It helps a lot for Samson though. Emboar for A+ Rank Ability: Sheer Force Moves: Rock smash, Flamethrower/Flare Blitz , Body Slam, Hammer Arm Item (If applicable): Anything Why: A surprise, didn't think the pokemon was that bulky, and that thing can be special or physical as you wish. Rock Smash is a fuckin good move, and Emboar is bulky enough to tank things even without EV spread on HP. I putted 252 in speed, letting him outspeed some threats in the game. Even in the late game, he proved he was useful facing Charlotte for example. It's a mandatory pokemon. Sawk for B Rank Ability: Sturdy Moves: Counter, Retaliate, bulk up , Close Combat Item (If applicable): Nothing Why: While counter Sturdy is a good thing, it's the only good thing that Sawk brings in the team, otherwise it's not fast enough to speed and not bulky enough to tank, just leave him after Noel and you're fine. He is your only ally vs Solaris though. Primeape for C- Rank Ability: Defiant Moves: Thrash, Punishment, Close combat Cross Chop Item (If applicable): Black Belt Why: Too frail as a mankey, too frail as a Primeape. Despite a wonderful ability in Defiant, the monkey will not last in your team. His movepool is catastrophic, letting any pokemon that resists cross shop kill him. Thrash is his second best attack while punishment is the third. Nothing to be scared about for any gym leader...Use him because you need to, and thrash him when you can. Heracross for S Rank Ability: Moxie / Guts Moves: Megahorn, Reversal, Rock Blast, Close Combat Item (If applicable): Black belt / silver powder Why: While catching it was a pain in the ass, it was really worth it. It appeared in most battles since i caught him and took Luna in a 1VS5 match, Heracross has two destructive abilities in Guts and defiant, making him a wrecking ball. He has rock blast against flying, who is very good. i think he's mandatory in every fighting run, since Bug moves will also wreck Psychics. Pangoro for D+ Rank Ability: Scrappy Moves: Hammer Arm, Crunch, Shadow Claw, Body Slam Item (If applicable): Any Why: Despite his typing, Pangoro isn't bulky enough to take anything, even after it evolves, and will end up serving as a healing body for another better pokemon. He isn't fast, so you can drop him quickly. Take him at the start just because you need pokemons to fuel your team. I didnt even use him vs Shade. Hariyama for A+ Rank Ability: Guts Pre-Aya , Thick fat Post Aya Moves: Heavy Slam, knock off, fake out , close combat Item (If applicable): Anything. Why: Speaking of pokemons that last during the whole adventure, you got a good one. The second Bulkiest fighting pokemons with a better movepool and a better availability in the game than Conkeldurr, knock off will deal with lot of things while heavy slam with help with the fairy battle. Fake out is a good utility aswell and both guts and thick fat are useful in early and late game respectively. I recommend Hariyama in the whole run. Scrafty for S Rank Ability: Moxie Moves: DDance / Crunch / Head Smash / Hjkick Item (If applicable): Anything, black belt is a good one Why: I love it, the best sweeper in the fighting run. I like how Dragon dance + moxie can sweep a whole team, and the Scrafty helped me against Shade, Taka, Solaris, Aya, and every obstacle in the run until the end game, since placing Scrafty is really difficult at this point, leaving a pokemon with a low speed on the ring...But he got head smash too , so it will break every wall you need to break if you can place him Machamp for B-Rank Ability: No guard Moves: Dynamic punch, knock off, bulk up, cross chop Item (If applicable): Black belt Why: While no guard is wonderful, the poor movepool of Machamp isn't a good thing. Despite the knock off he can learn, he doesn't have anything else relevant besides fighting moves. Machamp si cool, especially for Samson , but he's outclassed by lot of pokemons and EV training him isn't worth the power. Lucario for C+ Rank Ability: Steadfast Moves: Aurasphere, Vaccum Wave, Dark pulse, Water pulse /HP (enter typing here) Item (If applicable): / Why: As a special sweeper, it lacks flash cannon which is a tm move, letting Hidden power, dark pulse, aurasphere, vacuum wave and water pulse as moves, that sucks. As a physical attacker, he's a cheap medicham once again, if not for extreme speed who can be cool....But well, he wont do anything to terra,neither to Ciel, at least in monofighting. In a regular run he could be a decent physical sweeper though. Mienshao for C Rank Ability: Regenerate Moves: Calm mind, u-turn, HP xx , Aurasphere Item (If applicable): Why: Same as Lucario, but without the flying resistance, it doesnt provide anything neither as a special or physical attacker. If you dont have Heracross you have u-turn...But well. Throh for E Rank Ability : Mold Breaker Moves : Any Item : Any Why : The worst pokemon in the run, even training it is a pain. Self explanatory when you try to kick even a corsola with him x) Toxicroak for S+ Rank Ability : Dry Skin Moves : Drain Punch, Sucker Punch, Poison Jab, Bounce Item : Black Sludge / Life orb Why : ALL HAIL THE MVP OF EVERY FIGHTING MONO RUN ! Toxicroak is available very early in the game, letting him be an excellent sweeper , covering the fairy and psychic weaknesses because of sucker punch and poison jab. The pokemon also has an access to knock off and a powerful ability : Dry Skin. Starting from Aya and the black sludge in the wasteland, he is both the best sweeper and the best tank in the whole game. He will tank well common moves, and will recover by himself using sludge, dry skin and drain punch. This move is the best fighting type move i could ever use in the run. Toxicroak stayed in my team from Shelly to Seel included and did the final blow to the latter. He's the MVP in any fighting run. Despite nasty plot, i dont recommand using special one since it loses drain punch and its staying power. See my battle vs Fern and Blake to see how important he is. You can find my run here if you need more informations about my fights http://www.pokemonreborn.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=18033&page=6 And i'm open to discuss anything regarding the ratings ^^

Nevermind the thread, someone gave me wrong link x)

Sorry mate, i messed up with all the open pages x) Anyway, you should add Chespin for fighting after Radomus, that's the 7th street egg event

Didn't any of you catch that was a fire mono run? xD I guess training larvesta and giving him the focus sash to place a Quiver Dance would be a coop option o:

Actually, Cain seeing me and telling me i was cute made me think twice about human's fetichisms, i guess this guy is going to be a bother in my Rebellion, and i dont like how he is looking at me. Thank you too, human, i guess there are some human people that are kind, hope i'll find some like you in my trip

I guess you should avoid Solaris and continue without beating him, since no pokemon can setup to do massive sweep and Solaris's team is mostly Haxx everyday, so i might consider skipping him or switching in regular ^^ Anyway , i loves how you beated Taka like nothing because of Nuzzle, too op xD

I'll do what has to be done to regain freedom, even if it means beating 6 electric types by myself, i'll have success I hope i'll gather comrades to beat Florinia aswell Well, you're an human, but i take your GL as a warm collaboration. Thank you

.....That started while ago. The feeling of being a domestical pokemon was really hard to bear with. I remember those times i was a free pokemon, rolling in the lands everyday. That was fantastic. However, my freedom is gone, and everything cool with that freedom. I wish i could started again, and be free again. I could escape, but well, that wouldn't be enough for me, another trainer would catch me and i would return to the same point. Route 1..I'm tired to see those other miltanks, and those tauros. Tired to be kept under constant monitoring to provide some milk for them and breed with Tauros. I'm tired of this. .... I'll start something...A rebellion...And we'll be independent from humans, not only me, but every pokemon.... But well, how would i start that....Yeah...I need to gather comrades. That's the only way...And then...The war. I'll consider those things for my trip. Currently Pokemon Name : Bessie Badges : 2 Allowed to Recruit : Bonus catch from Steel, Dragon, Water, Fairy, or Rock : Unused Current Squad : Special Thanks to Dragon116 who's helping me to keep a good grammar and comprehension in the run and dialogues, as English isn't my native language.

Hello ^^ Just ended an Hardcore pokemon reborn in monotype fighting, and i would like to share my ranking for every pokemon i used in the run, in other words , every pokemons except Blaziken ^^ http://www.pokemonreborn.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=18033&page=6entry446643 You can find everything here. I hope that will help , since i caught most of them just to test the for this thread >_>

Final rock to Smash : Congratulations, too much punching, my fists are blue ! Well, that was a great adventure. I loved the whole game, doing this with fighting types was a good challenge and it opened paths in my Pokemon knowledge. Normal is still my favourite type, but i found lot of pokemons i underestimated. However, i tried to make a Showdown fighting type, but sadly most of the fighting types relevant in simulator are those legendaries. So well, that's not cool. While hardcore earned its name during the first part of the game. It lost the attracting side with the more badges coming. We have an access to a good variety of pokemons starting from Serra, and that's a shame Gym leaders didn't follow the path of hardcore. Either i was too much prepared or that was too easy, but except for megas and boss battles, i didnt feel anything harder than a regular reborn run. To start i'll answer common questions about the run Most annoying pokemon in the run : Noivern. Having to turn my Hawlucha to an Anti Noivern is unfair. Easiest gym Battle : Luna, Commander denies it, but a single pokemon sweeping a whole team in reborn Hardcore shouldn't happen. Luna is ridiculous. Hardest gym Battle : Corey, 30 times to take it down. Most annoying pokemon to find : Heracross, route 1 Puzzle is ridiculous. Most annoying pokemon to train : Korrina, and that wasn't worth the result. The best choice i made : Teaching Nasty plot to chimchar The worst choice i made : Turning Lucario into a special attacker. And now the Hall of fame ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUaT84YdCoc Leslie the Poliwrath Caught after Serra http://i.imgur.com/2zgINWU.jpg Well Leslie is a quite good pokemon. From the middle game, Poliwrath is mandatory by providing a water coverage in the team. Without it, passing through gliscor for example is a nightmare. But even with that good advantage, Poliwrath must absolutely place a rain dance, so it must lose a turn and his movepool isn't versatile, his only water physical stab is Waterfall.....Which you gain in episode 13. So well, it is mandatory, but not powerful. B+ Rank Corey the Hitmonchan Caught after Radomus http://i.imgur.com/tjhM5uv.jpg Thought its versatile movepool would help a lot in the team, but he's clearly outclassed by medicham. He isn't bulky enough to tank anything, to fast enough to outspeed anything, and doesn't have any resistance to psychic, fairy or flying. Nothing big deal. Dont waste your time with him. C- Rank. Blake the Hawlucha Caught after Samson http://i.imgur.com/oNSvLk8.jpg One of the MVPs here, Hawlucha is simply an excellent answer to the main weakness of fighting monotype : most of the pokemons in the run aren't fast enough to outspeed anything, and Hawlucha with unburden outspeeds EVERYTHING. Stabbed bounce, stabbed high jump kick and swords dance will get him to tear apart lot of teams, especialy Terra and Blake. The pokemon is worth the training, and is the first member of the all stars squad of the run. S Rank. Erik the Gallade Caught after Aya http://i.imgur.com/SBti940.jpg The second member of the all stars squad. Gallage provides a psychic resistance and coverage aswell, night slash is useful, while leaf blade and close combat are too. Destiny bond is the thing that let me get through every boss battle, i cant beat them without Destiny bond. He's fast a quite bulky, he will help you until the end of the run S Rank. Junior the Hitmonlee Caught after Radomus http://i.imgur.com/U8CT0vi.jpg One of the most underrated, Hitmonlee is a pokemon that has the same pro as Hawlucha, with unburden normal gem, it outspeeds everything. It helped a lot with Luna's battle, but Samson the most, since it learns bounce in Agathe Circus, making him a decent flying type user. He also has blaze kick to deal with threats like tropius and momartik, so that helps a lot. Hawlucha is better, but Hitmonlee is available early , and you can play them both for better results like i did with Terra. A Rank. Ginpei the Infernape Starter Pokemon http://i.imgur.com/DEvOudQ.jpg The most useful pokemon i had early game. I recommend a special one , since Nasty plot ember, and later fire pledge helped me too much sweeping entire teams. From Julia to florinia, and Shelly, not forgetting Aya because of fire pledge getting boosted, the pokemon is really useful. One nasty plot and you're ready to sweep, that's incredible. However, in late game, he's just not fast enough to follow Terra, Ciel, and such. A+ Rank. Rocky the Medicham Caught after Shade http://i.imgur.com/0tuDHc0.jpg A better hitmonchan, available quickly, with a psychic stab for all poison battle and a great coverage once you reach the move tutor, i like Medicham because he's a wrecking ball on its on. Medicham also has drain punch, who helps him to stay longer and longer. However, his speed lacking will hurt him in late game, that's kinda...Bad :'( But he earns a good spot in any team. S- Rank. Junior the Hitmontop Caught after Radomus http://i.imgur.com/FXO7cU5.jpg It served his role, Aka letting me get though Charlotte, but even a technician one don't hit hard enough and is outclassed. The only role he can fulfill well is a double protector with wide guard and intimidate, and only Charlotte spams eruptions and such. B- Rank Boris the Chesnaught Caught after Luna http://i.imgur.com/aO25CdJ.jpg Well, in the showdown, he can deal a lot of damages because we dont have any recover, but here, it's not bulky enough to stall, it's not faster enough to sweep, so you cant give him any position besides spiking the team. So well. It's a grass coverage, but you already have gallade for that. C+ Rank. Victor the Conkeldurr Caught after Luna http://i.imgur.com/scUW0JC.jpg I hate to say that, but Conkeldurr isn't as awesome as he's in the game. One of my fav fighting pokemons lost his pride here because of being available too late in the game. Sure he's one of the few to get a rock type and he's a good bulky, but Hariyama is already EV Trained at this point, got knock off, heavy slam, and Guts / Thick fat. So it's outclassed. It helps a lot for Samson though. A- Rank. Cyril the Emboar Caught after Aya http://i.imgur.com/Rz9MitJ.jpg A surprise, didn't think the pokemon was that bulky, and that thing can be special or physical as you wish. Rock Smash is a fuckin good move, and Emboar is bulky enough to tank things even without EV spread on HP. I putted 252 in speed, letting him outspeed some threats in the game. Even in the late game, he proved he was useful facing Charlotte for example. It's a mandatory pokemon. A+ Rank. Matter the Sawk Caught after Shade http://i.imgur.com/C5iXLGQ.jpg While counter Sturdy is a good thing, it's the only good thing that Sawk brings in the team, otherwise it's not fast enough to speed and not bulky enough to tank, just leave him after Noel and you're fine. He is your only ally vs Solaris though. B Rank. Kenji the Primeape Caught after Julia http://i.imgur.com/pSssz2U.jpg Too frail as a mankey, too frail as a Primeape. Despite a wonderful ability in Defiant, the monkey will not last in your team. His movepool is catastrophic, letting any pokemon that resists cross shop kill him. Thrash is his second best attack while punishment is the third. Nothing to be scared about for any gym leader...Use him because you need to, and thrash him when you can. C- Rank. Mikael the Heracross Caught after Noel http://i.imgur.com/kGvS6hM.jpg While catching it was a pain in the ass, it was really worth it. It appeared in most battles since i caught him and took Luna in a 1VS5 match, Heracross has two destructive abilities in Guts and defiant, making him a wrecking ball. He has rock blast against flying, who is very good. i think he's mandatory in every fighting run, since Bug moves will also wreck Psychics. S Rank. Korrina the Pangoro Caught after Julia http://i.imgur.com/X5gPcKi.jpg Despite his typing, Pangoro isn't bulky enough to take anything, even after it evolves, and will end up serving as a healing body for another better pokemon. He isn't fast, so you can drop him quickly. Take him at the start just because you need pokemons to fuel your team. I didnt even use him vs Shade. D+ Rank Mario the Hariyama Caught after Julia http://i.imgur.com/FYCh3Iu.jpg Speaking of pokemons that last during the whole adventure, you got a good one. The second Bulkiest fighting pokemons with a better movepool and a better availability in the game than Conkeldurr, knock off will deal with lot of things while heavy slam with help with the fairy battle. Fake out is a good utility aswell and both guts and thick fat are useful in early and late game respectively. I recommend Hariyama in the whole run. A++ Rank. Moley the Scrafty Caught after Shelly http://i.imgur.com/NxTdKRo.jpg I love Moley, the best sweeper in the fighting run. I like how Dragon dance + moxie can sweep a whole team, and the Scrafty helped me against Shade, Taka, Solaris, Aya, and every obstacle in the run until the end game, since placing Scrafty is really difficult at this point, leaving a pokemon with a low speed on the ring...But he got head smash too , so it will break every wall you need to break if you can place him S Rank. Scott the Machamp Caught after Luna http://i.imgur.com/lsQxsBq.jpg While no guard is wonderful, the poor movepool of Machamp isn't a good thing. Despite the knock off he can learn, he doesn't have anything else relevant besides fighting moves. Machamp si cool, especially for Samson , but he's outclassed by lot of pokemons and EV training him isn't worth the power. B- Rank. Sissy the Lucario Caught after Charlotte http://i.imgur.com/mMK2JPf.jpg As a special sweeper, it lacks flash cannon which is a tm move, letting Hidden power, dark pulse, aurasphere, vacuum wave and water pulse as moves, that sucks. As a physical attacker, he's a cheap medicham once again, if not for extreme speed who can be cool....But well, he wont do anything to terra,neither to Ciel, at least in monofighting. C+ Rank. Yasmine the Mienshao Caught after Luna http://i.imgur.com/9upJ1Sv.jpg Same as Lucario, but without the flying resistance, it doesnt provide anything neither as a special or physical attacker. If you dont have Heracross you have u-turn...But well. C Rank. Shin the Throh Caught After Shade http://i.imgur.com/Cn3P3nM.jpg The worst pokemon in the run, even training it is a pain. D--- Rank. Josue the Toxicroak Caught after Shelly http://i.imgur.com/fFSIwvN.jpg ALL HAIL THE MVP OF THE RUN ! Toxicroak is available very early in the game, letting him be an excellent sweeper , covering the fairy and psychic weaknesses because of sucker punch and poison jab. The pokemon also has an access to knock off and a powerful ability : Dry Skin. Starting from Aya and the black sludge in the wasteland, he is both the best sweeper and the best tank in the whole game. He will tank well common moves, and will recover by himself using sludge, dry skin and drain punch. This move is the best fighting type move i could ever use in the run. Toxicroak stayed in my team from Shelly to Seel included and did the final blow to the latter. He's the MVP in any fighting run. Despite nasty plot, i dont recommand using special one since it loses drain punch and its staying power. See my battle vs Fern and Blake to see how important he is. S+ Rank.

Twenty Fifth Rock to smash : The Final Ba....Genocide x_x Well, here is the final battle. It's been a while since i started, and this is now the most difficult fight ever. Before that, another "Samsonery" , i like the Ciel / Samson duo Yes, I'm ready to be kicked. Well, i'll resume ALL battles i had with Seel in the spoilers, enjoy :3 Well, those screenshots are not from the same battle. That's a mix Well, i like how Josue's Sucker punch was the final move. The move closing this adventure. I feel good for beating Seel, but i'm feeling bad because that was the last step in the run. Seel was Insane, i had to bring a counter for each pokemon. Well. I'll update short to make a special post about the run, and it will end until Episode 16 ^^ The team so far ! The inbox will come for the last update, i'll make the last objective of this run become real : Analizing every pokemon i used in this monorun to give a proper guide of Fighting mono. Seeya in the final rock to smash

Twenty Fourth rock to Smash : Solaris Rematch ! We started with Josue and Electrode agaisnt Exacadrill and Whiscash. Electrode and Josue killed Exacadrill before it could even move. Whishcash used rock slide, but we tanked it well. Gyarados came, intimidation forced me to switch to Leslie, Electrode Killed Gyarados before it could even move. While Leslie tanked a zen headbutt. Tyranitar came, Leslie used rain dance and tanked another Zen Headbutt, while Tyranitar used dragon dance. Next turn, thanks to swift swimm, Leslie killed Tyranitar by using Waterfall. Elecrode used foul play on Whishcash. Scizor came, he was halved by waterfall while electrode used another foul play on Whiscash, the Scizor used superpower on Leslie while whiscash killed electrode but was damaged by aftermath. Julia is sending Elecktross. Solaris uses full restor on scizor while Leslie uses surf, killing Whiscash and damaging Scizor , Elecktross uses giga drain on Scizor, but that dont do much. An Elektross appears on the opposing side, i knew Leslie's minutes were counted. i was about to use waterfall to finish Scizor, but bullet punch killed Leslie before, the enemy used flamethrower on Elektross but we tanked it, letting a discharge make some damages. At this point i'm sending Josue. Josue uses drain punch, finishing the Scizor, Julia uses vilt Switch, taking back her Elecktross to send rotom, the rotom tanks an acid spray, letting air balloon pop (Wtf balloon on flying team...) Mandibuzz came. I focused on Elektross who was killed by both drain punch and volt switch, Julia sent Magnezone instead. Kecleon came but was insta killed by drain punch. Mandibuzz was wrecked aswell by Julia's thunderbolt. The antagonists sent Slowbro and Garchomp. The slowbro became mega and garchomp wiped the field with Earthquake. Boris and Rotom came. Boris leech seeded the garchomp who used dragon rush on rotom, Slowbro used flamethrower, severely lowering my Boris. Elektross came from Julia, and even with my ultra potion, i was killed by both garchomp and slowbro. Rocky came, luckily the garcomp used fire fang on Eelektross, making Rocky OHKO him with Ice punch. Slowbro tanked giga drain while using flamethrower on Rocky. Solaris dont have pokemons anymore. At this point, i used Hjkick and Julia volt switch, beating the slowbro mega. The orderly send Magnezone who is insta killed by drain punch. Bronzong uses reflect for our defensive side. The orderly sent Reuniculus who managed to tank Hjkick and kicked out Rocky , But Erik came next turn and ended the fight with Night Slash I'll kill you. For real. I'm following you <3 Well, next one is the final battle, Seel Darling ! Team so far !

Twenty Third Rock to Smash, Dueling an Asshole Duo Terra is out, meaning that it's time to go in the waterfall to find Titania and Amaria. I dont like Titania but well. I'll pass quickly this part , as this is the worst event in my eyes. Well, i like Taka sooooo....However, i didnt choose to battle him this time. I thought i would be forced to battle him, but no, he just left the thing without battle. So well, quick screenshots, and quick report for PULSE Swalot, but it ended by being knocked out by Destiny bond.... I sent Josue the toxicroak to avoid being OHKOED by a poison move, thanks to the weight of Swalot, Josue moved first and used bounce, he tanked a sludge wave and used another, paralizing the Swalot. I switch Josue for Leslie the Poliwrath who is killed by discharge, and i then send Boris my Chesnaught. Boris used leech seed, infecting the pulse monster. The thing didnt move due to paralysis. I used spiky shield, tanking the sludge wave, but even with the seed thing, that wasn't enough , it fainted by sludge wave. I sent Erik my Gallade, who used destiny bond, taking down the pokemon with him. Sooo the thing in the water treatment ended, and i went to Amaria's gym to protect it from Meteor's attack. Just a little thing, here is the change about Taka not being battled. I just hope he wont have the Eclipse's treatment.... So i had to deal with grunts, I like to team with Florinia btw, and i got a Fern VS Flo deal, i like it. From this point, i'm starting to like Florinia, i hope she has a major role in the future, because i like the correction she wants to give, that's a real big sis. <3 Battle VS Asshole Duo (Well, sorry Fern but Blake is actually hotter than you.) Josue and Hippowdon started against Walrein and Haxorus. Josue used Drain punch on Walrein, severely lowering it's Life, he tanked an outrage from Haxorus and dodge blizzard. Hippwowdon tanked blizzard and yawned the Haxorus. Blake Switched for mamoswine who tanked a drain punch, haxorus killed Hippowdon by outrage and fell asleep. Torterra came, Blake used hyper potion on Mamoswine, but it couldn't stand both wood hammer and drain punch, making it faint. Blake sent Jynx who was wrecked before moving by a sucker punch. Haxorus was still sleeping, letting us put a wood hammer on it. Glalie came and mega evolved, Fern healed his dragon and Torterra was insta killed by freeze dry , but glalie was killed too by Drain punch. Rotom came, he was almost killed by drain punch but could kill tropius before faiting by the sandstorm. Haxorus was confused and hit himself. Weavile's turn. And Breloom for our side. Weavile and Haxorus killed Breloom together while haxorus tanked a drain punch from Josue. Weavile used night slash on Josue but Josue tanked it, Josue used drain punch killing the Weavile, it tanked a poison jab from Haxorus and Ferrothorn finished it. Walrein and Roserade came. I tanked an hidden power from Roserade and killed walrein by Drain punch, letting Fern alone VS Both Florinia and I. Josue finaly was killed by Extrasensory, but Ferrothorn almost killed the Roserade by gyro ball. Erik the Gallade came, ferrothorn tanked an hidden power and i finished Roserade by night slash. The asshole sent Krookodile who was insta killed by close combat. Rhyperior came, leaf blade almost killed it but the thing used megahorn used megahorn on ferrothorn, beating it but taking recoil damages from the steel pokemon and fainting. At this point, Both Erik and Cradily are against Scizor, it mega evolves, but cant take a close combat. He faints. Serperior Came, it used leaf storm, insta killing Erik who was already lowered by close combat, Cradily missed rock slide. Lucario came (Well it still dont have a nickname e.e) It tanked a leaf storm and delt an aurasphere while cradily lowered HP by rock slide. Lucario use vaccum wave, but that's still not enough to kill serperior, it fainted by leaf storm and Cradily uses seed bomb (Seriously...) I sent Boris, the Serperior missed leaf storm and fainted by Wood hammer. The end for the asshole duo. I hate you from this point. Well ! Actually trying to beat Solaris and his orderly, and i'm posting a quick recap just after that ^^

Well, i never gave him the ring anyways so i wanted to try what it would change. And i like this plot better than the other ^^ The only thing i just COULDNT was to beg to Fern xD And actually i tried to beat him without destiny bond, but the field that transforms dark moves into normal moves is just impossible to deal with. There is one more focus sash, i'm keeping it for Seel.

i love the idea, please grab a Jynx D: I love Jynx D:
