Im kind of hyped with the changes in SuMo mechanics, mega-evolution now precedes turn order so diancie need not run protect, dodrio was buffed hugely, hp fire mons can now be made max speed by hyper training and pelipper will be the new politoad. It's looking pretty major in terms of changes in the metagame

Found it through a friend, left it in the middle, started again, reached the fire gym realized I had no water types, started again now I got 6 badges and still playing a little everyday
. Its a great game but honestly I really started enjoying the game once I was familiar with competitive pokemon since that helps a lot in strategizing in this game. My third playthrough so far has been infinitely smoother. -
If you want a good coverage water mon I recommend seismitoad. It gets earth power, surf, sludge wave and rain dance which is great. Or you could level up a nidoking and get the same coverage too. E16 has slowbro so maybe you can even keep floatzel till you get one? There arent that many good water types anyway. Thick fat walrein is also decent I guess.
-
Get yourself a hard hitter. My personal favorites are toxicroak and hariyama. You can even get a staraptor by now too which gets close combat + reckless brave bird.
Or you could settle for a bisharp I guess
-
So I was battling serra and in the end her froslass was facing my toxicroak. I used sucker punch, it failed and she used frost breath. This happened twice and my pyroar was able to mop up the mess but I dont get why it failed twice when she used two attacking moves.
-
So I got the good rod and figured why not get a skrelp. Ive fished 16 times in coral ward with good rod all of them were grimers. I went to azurine island and fished 19 times and still only grimers. Am I doing something wrong? This was on a clear sky at night time.

7. Noel (Normal)Arguably the easiest of the gym leaders, you'll find that if you have any fighting types on your team, you won't even need any strategy to defeat him. Just power through everyone with a fighting type, but watch out for his last 3 members; Guts-Boosted-Facade Swellow, King's-Rock-FlinchHax Cincinno and finally Technically-Not-Normal-Type Clefable. Solution? Steel types. Swellow can't touch it with any of its moves, Cincinno has HP Fire but considering its special attack stat, you'll shrug it off, and finally Clefable, being weak to Steel types and only having HP Ground to cover its weakness.
It seems my life was a lie. I struggled hard and fast with noel, and had to try a total of 15 times to beat him. On the other hand serra was so easy that I hardly remember the battle so I guess its a subjective experience

Also look up on the monotype obtainable mons in team showcase to see what mons are available at your point in the game. You can also refer to the gym boss guide to look up their movesets and items. In my first playthrough I was completely clueless to the midgame event mons since they are not readily apparent unless you hunt for them and I reached the point of no return without a lot of fantastic mons. Thats why this time not only am I doing all the events Im also looking up what mons are required for future trades and getting them too. Its time-consuming but worth the effort as it makes the late game playthrough less grindy and rage-invoking
-
Consider every pokemon potentially vital. Dont disregard the poorer mons as not useful, they may come in handy later on. Consider all the future gyms when considering your final team. Once you reach a certain point in the game a lot of regions will become inaccessible until much later

just a quick one, where did you find the dusk and dawn stones? is it farmable?
-
Im a fan of gardevoir which you get right after aya so make that a part of your first team for sure. As for before the gym battle you might want to get yourself a diggersby because it literally solo's her gym. Its tedious to hunt huge power bunnelbies though so for now even a swords dance sandslash will put in a lot of work against her. Also seismitoad learns mud bomb if Im not wrong, as for your fighting itch it will be scratched soon when based gardevoir arrives. Until then get a ground type it will help a lot against Aya and also charlotte later

So Im near the wasteland and thats where I'm supposed to get my squirtle but it seems so complicated in the video linked to the pokemon location guide. From what I could gather you first choose a rainy day, go inside the building, talk to a guy taking shelter, who tells you to find a squirtle thats running about in the wasteland. Then you set the day to clear skies and search for squirtle. But where exactly will i find it? Is there a specific place or will I have to scan the entire wasteland?
-
These moves will transform this field into a Starlight Arena:
- Geomancy
HYPED :DD Does this mean Z-Moves will be arriving in E16?
Edit: btw where can I peep the E16 obtainable list??

Magnemite is in shade's gym. train it up and make sure you get one with sturdy
-
Ha, you sir are having the pleasure of facing the most dreaded gym leader in reborn
First off train yourself a banette to avoid the conundrum of tanking tri attacks and then burn that porygon and cincinno with will-o-miss
Then get yourself a steel type to tank those 5-hit combos like magneton or kling-klang. Lastly change the field to a corrosive field with sludgewave from nidoking and pray your mans outlive Noel's. I didnt have a single tanky mon on my team when I faced him so needless to say I almost quit the game for a month. Magneton proved my saviour and Im pretty sure it will help you too
-
So what do you guys think of the m-sableye suspect? I think its not OP but way too annoying to be in OU
ban baton pass too while we're at it. -
Grass/Ghost typing isn't really the best typing but I hope it gets great stats. Im more hyped about water/fairy and I hope its as good as the other water/fairy type we all know and love :]. I guess we should have expected fire/dark after we got fire/fighting and fire/psychic lol [Gen 8 fire/fairy confirmed??]

Hey thanks for all the help I managed to beat it with ampharos, mightyena and pyroar to take care of gengar, banette, doublade, treva and I basically haxed rotom with confuse ray and power gem
Then for chandelure I used oder sleuth from diggersby and headbutt it to death with pyroar. I needed a bit of luck for rotom it was way too annoying -
Well it just so happens that I literally beat this gym like ten minutes ago and my starter was also greninja
What I did was lead ampharos and charge beam gengar to death since it can eat a shadow claw. Then for banette I used mightyena, for trevenant and doublade, pyroar would OHKO them. Then rotom, the biggest problem for me, I managed to hit that with a confuse ray from ampharos and I basically haxed it with power gem
For Chandelure I switched to diggersby and used oder sleuth, he took me out with two energy balls. then I switch to pyroar and basically headbutt it to death since I walled him. Bear in mind the charge beam in turn one turns it to factory field so pyroar could live hits.
You dont have pyroar so do it this way:
Lead zebstrika, get off a discharge and it should be able to live a shadow claw. Then use mightyena to KO banette and DONT SWITCH to use moxie to kill doublade and trevenant. I hope that it can live, and after that give it a potion to face rotom and the double moxie should OHKO rotom with crunch. For chandelure Water Pulse + Aqua Jet should take it out. Mightyena is your big game player here so make sure it lasts until rotom because rotom is a pain in the behind X_X

I might be completely wrong about this but I believe different mons have different crit chances because I remember seeing a smogon article about aerodactyl that said it has a high crit chance. Maybe you're using mons that naturally have a higher than average crit chance? I dont think reborn favors crits, it only favors shinies so thats not the reason.
-
So Im on my second playthrough with the condition that I cant use the mons I used in my previous run, and I'm having a hard time beating shade again.

btw whats the pidgey quest to jog my memory? also I believe quick balls are best at reset-spamming. Dusk balls if its night time too.

Whoa, thats bad luck
if you're starting fresh from the beginning then there's a 1/18 chance of getting a vullaby each time and to get it 3 times in a row is absurdly small.

The timing is terrible too, the people were already on his back for banning r/pizzagate and now this one's gonna be taken as a justification of sorts for all their claims.
