That would make things harder. But even then you can be cheeky and use perish song arceus or toxic-stall it with giratina/lugia. However, I actually doubt we will be limited in this way. As far as I remember there wasn´t a single fight where our team choice was limited for story purposes. Or was there and I´m missing it?

- destiny bond (mimikyu with disquise can always use it before it dies) - perish song (murkrow with prankster) - curse (cofagrigus is bulky enough to live a hit) - focus sash + endeavor to bring him to 1HP - sheer cold, fissure, etc. - And lastly: 150 isn´t as high as you might think. Offensively that´s Mega-Swampert level, so you can definitely live hits. 150/150/150 bulk is incredible though.

I´ll just grab my prankster Murkrow with perish song from my box or my Mimikyu with disguise and destiny bond and suddenly it won´t look scary anymore, no matter what. But to stay on topic: I doubt Reborn will introduce a custom ability like Insurgence did (off topic: I really enjoyed primal Giratina so much more. Arceus kinda sucked). But even already existing abilites (wonder guard) could make it quite threatening. I´m not sure if anyone bothered to calculate the base stats of the PULSE opponents we´ve seen so far, but +30 for Arceus seems reasonable.

Two options: - you post your safe file and I beat ZEL for you - you think of a pokemon that could help you and I´ll trade it to you

I disagree. The most satisfying thing is hatching a perfect IV shiny after trying for 20 minutes. You should try it!

Do you mind posting your safe file? I´ll try to find a way to beat them and post instructions here once I´ve been successful.

If you don´t manage to find someone willing to trade with you in the next 24 hours, just tag me in a post or send me a pm.

Ah, I see you: This is your way of letting us know that we do it Insurgence-style and go to lv120. No need to confirm, no need to be ashamed

a) do you speed up your game? If so, disable that. b) you can post your safe file and I´ll stop the gastly for you.

If you don´t find someone to give you instructions, you can post your safe file and I´ll solve it for you. I find it hard to do this kind of stuff just in my head - so having the safe file makes it easier. If you wanna try it on your own some more: Dai Laughing made a video on it (and some other content creators too) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I65_wNegd-w

Let me know, if you don´t have one. I should have a few.

If I remember correctly, you need the Sanctum Key which you get by doing a rather complicated side quest.

You should get your facts straight, because this is just flat out wrong. Assist + Geomancy + Choice Item works exactly the same. And it makes sense too: 1. turn you choose to execute assist (so now you are locked into assist) -> this lets you call Geomancy. 2. turn you have only the option to execute Geomancy, which is impossible due to the choice item -> it fails.

Okay, that doesn´t look as terrible as the other one. Still not a good set though... Mawile-M is one of the most common Pokemon out there and can´t be killed by even a +1 Supersonic Skystrike. Earthquake over Substitute would probably make it semi-viable.

That´s not a glitch. That´s how the interaction is intended to work.

First: This is one month old... Second: I was talking about the Dragonite in your signature: no Fly (and who the heck uses Fly...) Third: " Volcarona... what is he even doing there? Especially with that fightium-Z. It won't do anything against Scizor if that's what you are thinking." -> your words... I just wanted to clarify that ty_taurus is not an idiot who would put Fightinium Z on a Volcarona to beat a Scizor, when Volcarona is basically the best Scizor counter in existence...

Sorry, pretty sick at the moment and not really capable of doing anything except sleeping and vegetating...

Alright, then my suggestion (Scrafty) still stands. As soon as you have access to Aurora Veil, the combination of Nintetales-A and Swoobat may also prove very valuable. The moves/abilities I crossed out are not optimal and should probably be replaced as soon as possible.

Hey, typing-wise your team looks pretty solid except for a small ground and psychic weakness. Adding Scrafty over Toxicroak would help here. This doesn´t mean, that the team will carry you through the entire game: the viability level of these Pokemon is pretty low, so they should be exchanged, once stronger Pokemon become available. Would you mind sharing the movesets and abilities? That would make it easier to judge the team. Especially the Swoobats moveset is pretty critical, since its only viable set is a Calm Mind + Simple set. If you want to make bigger changes: Cinccino (Ability: Skill Link, moves: Bullet Seed, Rock Blast, Tail Slap, Encore), Galvantula, Chansey/Blissey (with Toxic, Soft-Boiled, Seismic Toss and Heal Bell), Mamoswine and Ninetales-A are viable options too.

I´m glad they make you happy

I´m ready. Just quote or tag me when you´re ready, so I´ll get notified!

Absolutely no problem I´ll be able to trade again in ~ 12 hours (10pm gmt).

Alright, @ThatGuyHanzo, ready whenever you are!

You´re welcome Two questions: - you mention 4 pokemon, but title and/or first post include: gastly, gible, rotom, grimer-a, beldum = 5. Is that a mistake or do you indeed want 5? (to me it doesn´t matter, I can provide all 5) - which version (heat, frost, wash, fan, cut, standard) do you want your rotom to be? (I actually never traded rotom...it´s possible that it converts back to its standard form anyways)

Sorry, wasn´t online at the time. The only thing missing is the alolan grimer? I´ll be able to trade at around 9pm gmt (in ~ 11 hours).
