Poison is interesting.

Nice to see your full collection. I think Charlotte's gym is the best place for a Goldeen comeback.

Well if it comes to Radomus, we really only have that one story arc starting from entering Vanhanen Castle until we enter Agate City. He obviously is tied closely to the Luna Arc which starts a tad before. So let's look at what we get and how he's presented. Cheers

You're going to struggle vs Samson with your current rotation. Literally every mon on your team is weak to fighting. I assume you're going to pull out a few others out of your box? I'll request a Zubat/Golbat against him. Gets you 4x resistance to fighting and it has confuse ray to use Samson's pokemon's high attack stat against them. Edit: If it's already too late for you to get a Zubat in the Wasteland, then use the Nidorino instead.

Do you have a Nidorino? I'd love to see you use one at some point.

Reborn does make quite a big effort to balance things out. I highly doubt the dev team will just take all the new stuff and throw it in the game as fast as possible. We can't really predict how the new content will work out, how the meta will shift and which strategies become viable just because there already is some leaked information available. Likewise it's highly unpredictable how the new stuff will influence reborn, which is a system on its own. I expect the devs will take a "wait-and-see"-approach and wait until they can get a feel of the pokemon by playing the new games. That way they'll have a better idea how to fit in the new things lore and balance wise. Even if they're "just" stats and ability changes, I doubt they'll be quick to implement them either, as it can turn the whole balance upside down. Just think back to Gyarados. It didn't have any flashy new mechanics, just beastly stats and awesome abilities and it wrecked everything to the point where it was removed for being too broken. You can't really predict which pokemon will be in a similar situation after the "smaller changes". This as well will take a lot of figuring out, testing and adjusting. It will take its time. So be a tad more patient, boys. We'll get all the gen 7 goodies, it's just going to take a while. Cheers Also Ame please give me back my Magikarp.

Drapion is also a very awesome dark type with it's sole weakness to ground and getting the sniper ability along cross poison and night slash. Honchkrow is a glass canon but it can be a devastating sweeper with sucker punch + Moxie.

Milotic is strong sure, but does it learn ice beam through level up? I thought neither do we have the TM available in Episode 15, nor can ice beam be bred onto any pokemon other than psyduck. At least as far as I know. I might be wrong though, as I've never used a Milotic in my life.

Would sunny+rain give you the mist field or the rainbow field?

You have a decent physical/special split in your team. The only thing you might lack is a special wall that doesn't require you to set up calm mind. For the special route: -Lapras and Walrain have already been mentioned and they are quite solid because they give you ice coverage which is strong offensively while still being on the bulkier side. -Seismitoad surely brings a lot of coverage as Shinoda Yagami has said. -Ludicolo, As AnimeFg stated you also lack a grass type, so this one is an awesomely versatile choice, just make sure not to evolve your Lotad until you get Energy Ball at lvl 36. For the physical route: -Barbaracle is a decent physical addition which gets access to Shell Smash buffs. -Poliwrath, I personally swear by mine, but since you already have a fighting type, I wouldn't recommend it and it needs some setup to shine. A lot of awesome water pokemon have been promised for Ep 16, so if you can hold out until it's here, you'll get an even better selection. Frillish, Slowpoke, Tentacool, Staryu and Shellder will be added. All of them have their respective place to shine. Out of the list I'd recommend Tentacool/Tentacruel to you, as it's a beastly special defense wall with a decent speed. It's sure to help you wrestle down Adrienne provided Ame doesn't give his/her/its whole team discharge like she did with Shade. Cheers

Wow that is actually quite an elaborate strategy to take down that Garchomp. Well done.

I'm only just joining in. Looks to be a fun run, but I doubt I'll ever hate myself enough to try one. Nevertheless I want to suggest a pokemon for the Luna fight. Since Solosis becomes available a tad before you get to the gym/cave, why not go through the hassle of getting it so you can fully enjoy the bad type match-up against Luna? You are allowed to evolve it into Duosion, of course. Cheers

Hi Guys I've just managed to get a male Nidoran (pokemon) which is female (gender). I got it through breeding my Growlithe with a female Nidoran. Now I know it's the year 2016 and it's free to figure out its own gender, but I was still a bit perplexed. I attached a Screenshot of the genderbender and included my safefile. Also I didn't already see it on the wall of bugs, but the move Rage seems not to increase in damage. The rage keeps sucessfully building up, but the damage remains constant, similar to the bug posted above for Assurance. Cheers Game.rxdata

I hope we never ever get a legendary. The reason I love pokemon Reborn is because of the whole idea to raise the bar and force the player to use unusual/less used pokemon. Giving us a legendary somewhat destroys this. Sure I won't be forced to use it, but if you bring it into PvP, well then it kinda ruins the whole ordeal. If I enjoyed battling legendaries in PvP I'd go back to challenging that kid with the all shiny team including primal Groudon, primal Kyogre, MegaSalamence etc. You probably know him as well. Anyways I know one of the key adverts for pokemon Reborn is the part where every pokemon will eventually be available, but imho I'd like to see the legendaries being pushed back into after-game content and excluded from PvP-

Always nice to see you making progress. The upcoming fight sure is a huge Problem with your very onesided typing. I'm looking forward to reading how you outwit them. The most obvious approach would be to quickly focus down one of the two. Since your rock typing actually gives you an offensive advantage against Blake's ice that should be doable. The only mon in his party not weak to rock is Mamoswine, which is in turn weak to water, your second most common type. That only works though if Fern gives you enough breathing room. You could opt to focus down Fern first with most of your party and have a water/rock type ready to come in afterwards which resists Blake's ice to clean up. But either way I personally don't see you outstalling anyone and since Blake -for better or worse- doesn't have a hail setter, you can't even use that against Fern. You'll just have to find the biggest stick you have and bash them into the ground.

Biggest plot twist: -We- die. We get outmassed, outclassed and outdone. At a point in time where reborn still is at the brink of extinction or civil war and none of the many plotlines are finished. We simply get taken by surprise by an infinite number of enemies fighting us at a seemingly unimportant location. Fighting a war of attrition, batteling until our pokemon faint before or after running out of PP. We get nothing no final answers, no big hero moment and it doesn't even matter how many enemies we take out.

How do you expect anyone here to know that? The episode isn't here yet, so only a handful of people involved in developing it know and they surely won't spoiler it. Also damn yeah finally getting some more decent water pokemon. My trusty Polyswag will soon have a Bropoke to fill in where needed.

There's the Monotype Pokemon Availability Guide where you get a list of all pokemon available sorted by type and gym leader(story progression). To find the listed pokemon, consult the Pokemon Location Guide.

I cannot confirm, that you get a trapinch for a mothim, as I didn't test that. But the house in Chrysolia forest only appears once you interact with it in Spinel town.

Hi just finished the episode and I really liked it. I especially enjoyed the "pick your poison" kind of feel in the weeping depths arc. It's refreshing not to be restricted to the clichee choice of being naughty or a goodie two shoes. Istn't Xatu a bit difficult to replace, since it's relevant for a major plot twist in the story line?
