Thank you very much!

WHAT?! REALLY?! They removed aCROBATics from CROBAT's moveset by level-up? Good job Game Freak, because Wing Attack is very strong to have into late game... Meh... I guess they should make up for buffing Leech Life THAT much, but really, it's a bit ridiculous. 252 Speed EVs and 31 Speed IV my Nidoqueen has. I reckon Samson's Lucario doesn't have full Speed EVs. Honestly, I was surprised too about that, but my Nidoqueen is PROPERLY fast!

Hello everyone! I'm running a custom run and the only "acceptable" choices of the Mystery Egg for my run are Azurill, Drillbur and Aron. I installed the Debug menu and saw that my "MysteryEgg" variable is 12. However, I don't know how to find a list of which number refers to which possible pokemon. I know the possible 'mons are Azurill, Aron, Staryu, Togepi, Sneasel, Shroomish, Chinchou, Axew, Vullaby, Pawniard, Trapinch, Drilbur, Cottonee, Growlithe, Elekid, Starly, Rhyhorn, Larvesta, and Magby. Any idea on where to find which pokemon corresponds to which number, so that I can make my pick? Also, (since I picked Cyndaquil), which variable do I have to set to which value, in order to get Chespin from the West Gearen Help Plaza egg reward? Thank you in advance! Jess

Indeed. I'm sorry to disappoint It was such an uneventful fight. And I had a ton of mons with Nature Power or Fairy moves, so even with Crobat down, it would've been easy still, since Nature Power becomes Acrobatics in Big Top Arena. Next chapter is vs Charlotte and will reward you with one hell of a battle! (and many failures)

Exactly. Plus, Big Top Arena always boosts Acrobatics power to 110. So, even with holding a Life Orb (e.g) you'd still hit with a 110 BP Flying type move, furtherly boosted by the Life Orb.

Flying Gem boosts by 50% a damage of that type. Flying Gem gets consumed BEFORE Acrobatics is performed, so the move has 110 BP regardless of the Field. But still, this field (Big Top Arena) always boosts base power of Acrobatics to 110. Check the Field Effect notes. Flying Gem actually is a must combined with Acrobatics, the exact opposite of useless. It is used this way in all competitive battles. Edit: @PESH1 Check this, it will explain to you what happens with Flying Gem and Acrobatics and why it is so good. https://pokemondb.net/pokebase/38977/can-i-use-flying-gem-with-acrobatics-for-2-power-boosts

CHAPTER 13: I hate clowns. So, Luna wished us farewell, and we went straight to Agate Gate, to meet up with Cain. Straight? Nope. Partly because Cain isn't straight, so it would be an insult to him to go there directly. Secondly, because I wanted to add a new member to the team! And here he is! After that was taken care of, we approached Cain, kissed him hi and begged him to smash the gate open with Nidoking. Soon, we had a pleasant meeting with the sleepyheads, Aya and Hardy! As we got Drowzee drowsy ourselves, we had a much less pleasant surprise, meeting Terra. Now, I could rant and rave for a fortnight, but I won't. I'll just ignore her. So, Aya and Hardy get launched by an invisible force, and Cain and I advance to Agate Circus. Exploring time between clowns (creepy bastards, seen "IT"?), Ringmaster, strongman Samson and sellers. A LOT of them! But let the video speak on behalf of me! In short, Aya got rescued, but someone has to find MIA Hardy. Guess who will do all the chores in this game. Including putting poor Crustles asleep and shoving them in holes to jump on them. I hope they just abandon their shell after that and find a new rock to carve as home, because otherwise it is a bit brutal. So, off to Celestinine Cascade and Fiore Mansion, to reclaim Hardy, meet again with Amaria and meet Titania for the first time (yes, I didn't bother exploring Aventurine Woods). We get news about Meteor siege of Calcenon and sealing of Labradorra and know that our friends are up there. We gotta help! By Surfing through water in mountains to get there! Which means defeating Samson, then coming back to get TMX Surf from the girls at Fiore Mansion! Yayyyyy! Battle time! VS SAMSON Titania gave me the Fury Battle-Pass, so I just go back to the Circus, rejoin Hardy, Cain, Aya, Ciel and Samson (and a voice from an invisible woman RAWRing, I must have schizophrenia, I can't see her) and challenge Samson! The team this pipsqueak chose to face Samson was the following: And without further ado (I love saying this phrase, for some reason), we hop straight into the battle coverage! After getting our 10th Badge, the Fury Badge, the level cap gets no raise, but we can now use Surf outside of battle and gain the TM for Brick Break, which might come in handy! (or not, who knows!) And of course, it wouldn't have been Pokemon Reborn without some drama! We go and collect TMX Surf from Titania (Jesus Christ, those girls are messy as hell, even heard of a vacuum pump before?). We don't read any diaries, but this doesn't matter, cause Amaria returns, reads it herself, all hell breaks loose (Titania pretty much just revealed to Amaria herself what happened by lecturing us about morals and threatening, because she is insecure as hell probably and has stuff to hide). Finally, Amaria jumps down the Celestinine Cascade and we need TMX Waterfall to help Titania reclaim her, because -guess- she threatens us! Oooooh, I'm scared... But oh, well, I'll do it... Only cause I like Amaria, not because I owe anything to red haired shady murder-to-be bitch. In the next chapter of this poooiiisonous run, we go to Calcenon somehow, stuff happen and we develop mental traumas with Fire, similar to the ones Charlotte has. Till then, enjoy everyone!

In my Insurgence playthrough, I have to say that Delta Charizard is love, Delta Charizard is life... A Ghost Dragon?! This makes up for the horrendous (imho) cockroach-like design of Giratina... I think that the whole story gains A LOT by the use of Delta Pokemon and their Megas. And Deltas are really well-designed and polished. Give it a try. I mean, can you imagine that I hated Bug types till half a year ago? You never know if you like something, unless you give it a chance

I've experienced that in my Poison monotype too! Fern's Roserade? Orderly John? Victoria's Kirlia? They destroyed me. Gym Leaders? They were all down in 2 tries tops! With the exception of Charlotte, who decided to burn my dreams and hopes to a crisp, before giving me the Badge... Pun intended for Nidorina's Hustle ability? And wow, Swagger came in handy vs Crobat! I've never really used it, mostly because the whole "swag" puns irritate me... But it IS an irritating mve to use and it really helps to check Special Attackers! Good job @Orasha Keep going!

So basically, you're telling everyone you're a cheapo who only wants to emulate games for free. Nice. Are you offensive 24/7, or only when you come in here? Oh, forgot, you have Fern on your avatar... xD Apart from that, I also haven't played a single official Pokemon Game since playing Pokemon Silver. Before that, it was Red. But I started finding them just too easy. Some emulators and ROM hacks managed to add this difficulty that was missing, making it interesting again. So, the sincere question I raise is, why just storm through a game and feel like my brain cells die every second by the easiness of the task which promotes only brute forcing and zero strategy developing, instead f just playing a ROM Hack/fangame that does offer all these things? Finally, yes, I am getting prepared to get wreked by a Breakneck Blitz from El's Arceus when we fight the Elite 4 of Reborn... I'm not eager about that...

Check his profile, he joined on 10th of July, posted in 4 topics, managed to be offensive in all of them and started a fight in one. He is Fern IRL. What a shame he is from Greece too, I am obliged to apologize on behalf of him now

I'd not mind if we didn't get Megas at all. Seriously, I always thought Megas are game-breaking and shouldn't exist. But again, it depends on everyone's tastes, whether he/she wants to win by using something OP or not. Too salty

Thanks! My Kricketune defeated Luna's Umbreon also with Taunt in my Bug Monotype! So, I did it the same way again! Haha, thanks! Every time I replay it and see me trying to poison a Steel type, my eyes hurt xD Thank God everything else worked perfectly, and was an easy win on first try!

Hide in Onyx Trainer School, they'll hunt you for autographs! xD

You mean IV bred and EV trained But yes, I do know... OCD freak

To prevent it from using non-attacking moves for a few turns (e.g. Moonlight, Confuse Ray). It could outstall me with Confusion hacks, so I had to be sure it would be a brute force 1v1 between it and Toxicroak.

At least Aftermath still did some damage. So it made me feel less bad about it. Poison would've made stuff easier vs Malamar and Umbreon. Otherwise, no big difference.

I missclicked Toxic instead of Toxic Spikes I suck at this game

This must be the most well-stated comment made about Reborn. Also I have some sort of nervous twitch when someone says that stuff like Dustox, Butterfree, Trubbish, Ekans and Meowth aren't useful... Dustox is bulky and gets very early stuff like Venoshock, Light Screen, Silver Wind, Poison Powder/Toxic and Moonlight. Stall, setup, brute force, it's all there. Trubbish has Toxic Spikes and Acid Spray. Enough said. Ekans has Glare, Crunch, Acid Spray early, and late Coil, Gunk Shot, Sucker Punch (bred) and even Ice Fang! Meowth has Fake Out. When you will have to prevent Shelly's Illumise from Rain Dancing, you'll bow down to the Lord of all cats! Also Liepard has it. And Butterfree (apart from being awesome), can do the magnificent combo of Compound Eyes with Sleep Powder/Stun Spore. ~100% accuracy. Then Quiver Dance. Then destroy. Oh the joy. Oh I rhymed, I'm the boy girl These are my suggestions in short! Have fun!

Yes, in my Bug monotype Heracross nearly swept Luna with Moxie! Till he decided to become suicidal by Prankster Sableye Confuse Ray, that is... Malamar with Contrary Superpower and Super Effective Psycho Cuts could've been an issue, that's why I chose to wear it down with Venusaur's Sleep Powder and Leech Seed combination. And it worked perfectly! Toxicroak is very useful indeed! I didn't like it before, but it's relatively high in my likings now!

CHAPTER 12: Cultists, gangs and a Dark Dreamer! With Radomus down (and vanished) and with Luna and Cain kidnapped by El, we had to find shady people and ask them for El's possible whereabouts! Which I did. And I also did something for the first time. I joined Aqua Gang, which is useless. Only for the sake of getting to know if something changes, because I always chose the Magma Gang. Reasons I despise Aqua Gang is just because they are useless. Type advantage and can't win for the life of them vs Magma. Pathetic. But anyways! The first video of the chapter is totally uneventful, joining Aqua, robbing old rich bitch, defeating Team Magma and getting access to Route 7, finally being able to track down the weirdo who thinks he is a Bug trainer. Bennett. After that was taken over, Bennett "lures" us into his and El's well-camouflaged (AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... ahem... seriously, this trap couldn't have been any more obvious) trap and we get imprisoned. Buddy with Klef-key sets us free, we sneak under the nose of cultists, then beat some other cultists, read stupid "prophecies" written by people who probably were just TOO HIGH and happened to have pen and paper nearby, solve a simple psalm puzzle and release Luna from creeper Bennett and heretic El, with the help of madhatter Radomus and Teleporting Gossip Gardevoir! Again, stuff that happen everyday in the world of Pokemon! Oh, we also released Cain. Hiya there damsel! <3 In the end of this ordeal, Radomus and Gardevoir depart to unknown whereabouts (still unknown by the end of E16), Luna gives us Crystal Key to find her in Iolia Valley and challenge her to a Gym Battle, and Cain goes to Agate gate, to see if those sleepyheads are waking up anytime soon. So, I travel back all the way to Vanhanen Labyrinth, fall down in a tree hole (call me Alice), maybe chasing a Bunnelby or a Buneary probably, Mad Hatter is MIA, and I find myself in Wnderland, AKA Iolia Valley. After a lot of Crystal tapping, Smashing and dark cavern wandering, I discover that someone equally weird and twisted as the Queen of Hearts is following me. Oh, yes, Bennett, the loverboy! Luna shoves him off, we kick his a$$ in a royal manner, he whines a bit, then leaves. Then, we challenge Luna! Who I'm sure fancies Venam, but I'll come later to find out. On my own. Shoo weirdos, fly, we need privacy! VS LUNA (Bonus(?): VS BENNETT) Anyways, before beating her, I had to beat her! (again, no naughty puns were intended here). Since I don't count Bennett as an important fight, I will only put here the team I used in the Gym Battle! And the team I used to defeat Luna was the following: And straight into the coverage of the battles! After Olympus Luna has fallen, we collect our 9th Badge, the Eclipse Badge, which raises the Level cap to Lv.70 and also the TM for Dark Pulse! And now, it is time to enjoy darkness and take a nap go find Cain and enter Agate City! And meet Terra. Jesus Christ, I loathe her so much... That's why I will do this in the next chapter of this poooiiisonous run! Till then, enjoy everyone!

My Crobat explained to Fern's Roserade what true Speed means, at Fiore Mansion xD Outsped and destroyed! Revenge granted! Felt so good <3

@RedAlert See, your Roserade's Extrasensory didn't OHKO Hitmontop. But Fern's Roserade would've OHKO'ed it. It always does. Also, great job with the Spiky Shield of Cacturne on Swellow. Made it lose enough HP to be taken out with a Sucker Punch, well played. And I admit, I kinda yelled "Jesus Christ, fuck off Noel with the parahax and the 46237892 Ultra Potions you used on this fat-ass bunny" Super annoying!

Lin's run in Reborn sounds... unrealistic (unless you perform illegal human cloning experiments and duplicate her), a Fire mono is being done already (even if it isn't in Hardcore), so I vote for Lance. Sounds more realistic and interesting!
