[Pokémon Reborn: Plates of Arceus (Episode 0) [E18.4.1] (Updated 19th Feb '22)]

Btw Alt-Darm's learnset is slightly different. Gets Focus Blast at 47 and Fire Blast at 33 instead of Super power and Flare Blitz, both of which are great changes.

Did you make any changes to Darm's TM/MT/Egg moves list? 

 

As well as a humble request to give alt-Darm psychic on level up, since Psychic TM is hella late.

[Team Help]

Mega pinsir is arguably the best mega available in reborn right now. Haxorus/Mence/Your own Dnite is likely going to be your best bet against Saphira's Dragonite in her gym. Then you add in Blaziken and Greninja for some nice mixed coverage. All that leaves only Gardevoir, Ferro and Glisc to avoid overlapping types. So i'd recommend filling out the last two slots with Gardevoir and Gliscor. Since stallmons are pretty moot in reborn and offensive Gliscor actually can be pretty fun.

You guys ever thought of people wanting to make the game a bit more challenging for themselves to allow them to use the same amount (or none) of potions and items the oppenent uses?

Then 1. Be specific when asking for help with the team, state that "I'm trying a challenge of etc x y and z." 

 

2. That isn't a tangible approach to reborn with a fixed party of 6. You wanna do that kinda challenge runs on reborn, you're gonna need close to 10-15 mons that can be rotated in and out of your team.

I know, but any mon with Crunch will do more damage every turn without having to rely on the possibility of the pokemon running away.

 

Yea pursuit is more of a thing in 6v6 competitive battles, where switching en masse is commonplace. Pursuit locking can guarantee some severe damage/even a kill on the pokemon that's switching out(Which is generally the more important piece of the opponent's team). As opposed to a Crunch which would either get resisted or tanked with ease.

Pursuit will do damage when the pokemon is running away in the turn.  I don't know if there is a way to make it sure it'll do it though, that's why I don't like pursuit.

Pursuit does 40 damage no matter what. Doubles in power if the opposing pokemon switches that turn.

HJK only have recoil if you miss, that's why I suggested Wide Lens, than you would go with Blaze Kick (BK) to also make use of the item, and Adamant will give more power to BK so you can OHKO without the need of Flare Blitz.

If you miss HJK, just hit F12. If you take too much recoil from flare blitz. Just hyper potion.

 

Are you tryna build a competitive team for online play or for use in game? If ingame, stop stressing and start spamming potions/battle items. If online play, i'd recommend a few changes.

 

1. Switch out Garchomp for Nidoking. Garchomp is one of the best pokemon in the game in certain niche roles. For the role you have it in here (Moderately fast, bulky SR setter that can beat any lead pokemon in a 1v1) Nidoking far outclasses chomp(especially one without EQ). No 4 times weakness, able to one shot literally any lead pokemon with the right coverage. Fast enough to outspeed most pokemon you need to outspeed in that role. 

 

2. Your team seems to be mad reliant on speed control. I'd recommend getting a good sticky web pokemon up in there to fully take advantage of this. Given the wide variety of viable webbers available in the game right now, Go for araquanid to replace Alomomola, gives you power, resistance to ground, nice pocket mirror coat to fuck with their status spreaders and such. - Though i'm not 100% sure if they've imported Araquanid's USUM movepool yet or if this will only be viable in EP18

 

Beyond all of that, figure out what kinda team you wanna build. Hyper-Offense, Offense, Balanced, Stall, Balanced offense, "Hyper-Stall" and mould your team according to that. Cause right now your team looks like it's of the Offense archetype, but instead of being proper offense, it has some pieces here and there afflicting its optimization.

Iirc you have to buy it from the casino. Flash, I mean.

What he said pretty much. 1000coins for TM70. Casino located in Chrisola hotel East Gearen.

[Start a new playthrough on rejuvenation]

You get a Zubat soon after the third gym, but you need to cheese a bit to beat a level 48 Kingdra and lvl 48 Crobat before you can get it. Definitely recommend using a Crobat. And from my experience, you have access to Ponyta, Fletchling, Houndour, Salandit(i think) and Litleo all before the 4th gym. So just go for any of those. (I just went with Infernape as my starter.) 

[LF Choice band]

11 minutes ago, DreamblitzX said:

You can get one in a sort of semi-legit way with the stealing trick. 

 

Basically you have a pokemon with theif, fling and recycle, and use them in that order against an opponent with the item that you want (the circus clown is a good one) and then you get to keep the item after the battle

Amazing. Got it right away, thanks a ton man. 

[LF Choice band]

TL;DR Guy needs Choice Band wants to trade shiny nigh battle ready 4IV togepi. 

 

So i've got the Choice Specs from my aqua gang sidequest. Now i need a Choice Band and i unfortunately skipped the onix sidequest at the start of the game, so the Hiker isn't popping up for me in his special spot. I've roamed the forums and found no means of getting the guy to turn up now all the way at the end of Ep17.

 

As it stands, i'd sincerely appreciate a Choice Band, so if there are any legitimate alternative means of getting one, some enlightenment would be much appreciated. If not, then i would like to kindly request anyone who has a spare choice band to help a brother out. 

 

I don't have much to offer in return, a handful of 4IV mons mostly. Namely, Froakie, Gible, Torchic and an assortment of bug types . The most special of which, is this little critter.

  

[Doing a Dragon Run and I need help (maybe)]

No Garchomp? I'd say either Chomp or Flygon are absolute musts in a mono dragon run. You can also get a Deino in the room you save Luna with a bit of tomfoolery.

[V10 Venam's gym final puzzle]

In the first gym, there are a series of color based puzzles you need to resolve in order to get to the gym leader. In the final puzzle, there is the normal solution to unlock access to the leader battle, then there's the super secret solution that nets you the Seviper egg.

 

However, after interacting with some NPCs and overworld objects, there seems to be a third puzzle that goes Brown > White > Teal. When input, i get a prompt reading that the poisons have been accepted. Though i don't see any direct changes in the environment, anyone got any idea what's supposed to happen here?

[SpeedBreed [Rejuv V13.0.5] [Reborn Retired] [Updated 2022-04-17]]

Hurts me to use this sometimes, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

[A good pokemon to add to my team]

Really the only change i can see making any significant improvements to the team is swapping out Sceptile. Everything else seems fine in place. Maybe get a Lilligant? As you are lacking a setup sweeper. 

[Charlotte e17]

Do you have any x-speeds or x-attacks? And a hardstone?

[Rounding out my team]

Uh, you can only use damaging moves if you're holding an Assault Vest. So if you decide to go for a Milotic to fill out that last slot, i'd recommend getting a marvel scale milotic holding a flame orb(you get it in chrysolia once you have surf and strength) 

 

Since you're asking what to add and not what to change, i'm just going to act under the assumption that you're keeping the core 4 and tagging on a Milotic. 

 

In which case, your team now has a crippling weakness to Electric types in generally and kinda gets rocked by Mega Manectric(Assuming it ever gets added to the opponents in the game) 

 

So i'm just going to spitball pokemon that can potentially cover that weakness while complimenting what the rest of your team offers. 

-Lightning Rod Alolan Marowak

-Levitate Eelektross

-Gliscor

-Krookodile

-Garchomp

 

Haaaave at it

 

[Underrated pokemon in Reborn?]

I haven't been around much, or too long for that matter. From where i'm standing, though. Rhyperior looks waaaaaay underused for what he brings to the table. Wide coverage movepool, access to EdgeQuake and capable of firing off one of the most potent attacks in the game in Rock Wrecker. Strap a hard stone on the boy and let the good times roll.

[Monotype run]

Monobug could be interesting

[Zangoose?]

46 minutes ago, Paperblade said:

Zangoose isn't obtainable in Route 3 (it might have been before but as of E17 it's not). You either have to do the hide-and-seek event or find it as a 10% encounter in the alleyways in neoreborn

I think he's asking about Zangoose in Rejuvenation, mate.

[A good pokemon to add to my team]

So your team right now is:

Magneton

Typhlosion

Swampert

Crobat

Scrafty

Sceptile

 

Does your Crobat know brave bird?

 

edit: Actually, can you let me know your full moveset?

[LF: Any Smog user Lv70+ (CLOSED)]

Clear Smog, right? Cause Garby doesn't get access to Smog, and Smog is kinda useless.

[Which Pokemon have great movepools through leveling up alone?]

Heracross - Close Combat and Megahorn are learnt naturally and bullet seed and night slash can be relearned. 

Gallade - Psycho cut, close combat (leaf blade, night slash relearned)

Rhyperior - Hammer arm, edgequake, rock wrecker, megahorn, poison jab

Arcanine - Outrage, Close Combat, Flare Blitz, Crunch, Extremespeed, thunder fang

 

Greninja sucks in regards to movepool, the only move you learn that can fully take advantage of Protean with is Extrasensory.

Actually, you get Sludge Wave at Aya(5th badge) and Nidoking learns Earth power by himself. Sheer Force-Life Orb Nidoking is a force of nature, and mine just kept the Megahorn he naturally learns for some pocket bug coverage.

[Battle items axed? Magnemite axed?]

9 hours ago, Swampellow said:

You can't get Vikavolt until post restoration. Rotom-W is also very late in the game in comparison (to Magnemite/ton), you don't get it until Ametrine at the least

You get Rotom and Vikavolt at the same time you can get Magnezone, and i think we can agree both are as good as Magnezone. Zone, Rotom and Vika each have their own advantage, allowing you to choose depending on what your team needs at that point.

 

9 hours ago, Swampellow said:

Alolem is decent but not super bulky.

Alolem outclasses Magneton in literally every way. Magnezone only serves to level the playing field after the Yureyu key sidequest.

9 hours ago, Swampellow said:

Jolteon is later than Magneton and Ampharos and not nearly as bulky,

Whatever Jolteon lacks in bulk, it more than compensates for in speed. And since that's around the same time you find a life orb, getting a fast and hard hitting electric type certainly outweighs the benefits of a blubbery giraffe thing. Granted i'd never recommend Jolteon over Magneton, that was more an alternative to Ampharos.

 

9 hours ago, Swampellow said:

but you don't even get it to its 2nd form until level 39

IIRC, the level cap gets raised to 40 either prior to fighting shade or post Shade. Not long after that, Eelektrik learns Tbolt and you get your first Thunderstone. So you can get an Eelektross around the same time you get a Magnemite.

 

9 hours ago, Swampellow said:

 I said Ampharos is the next closest because you can get it quite early

Ampharos is an OK electric type, and as such is the earliest one you can get. If that's your pitch, then just get the Emolga as mentioned by @Paperblade Acrobatics hurts at that stage of the game, and you get your electric filler that has a fast 100% paralysis and can give you light screen.

 

As for the last part, i honestly have nothing to say because most, if not all of that, is just your bias.  Case and point, most 1st stage Fully Evolved pokes from Gen 1 are so garbage that they have either been given alternate forms, broken abilities, new evolutions or have been left to rot in obscurity. Magneton only being one such example of a pokemon that NEEDED a new evolution to keep up with the power creep.
