1. lead with hariyama and growlithe (i hope they have fake out and flame burst) 2. fake out illumise 3. Flame burst illumise this should flinch, then knock it out so it cant use rain dance, which means flame burst will ignite the forest field, removing her bug advantage and damaging her mons. her araquanid knows rain dance and can put out the fire, but its not the fastest mon and you should be able to take it out easily before it does, if all else fails switch out hariyama for something faster like noibat or swampert. I'd also recommend replacing kricketune b

Discharge. straight up. Gliscor is immune to it so it can pair with alolan raichu, give it a life orb, choice specs, even a magnet would do fine. Discharge takes full advantage of the factory field and decimates pretty much everything all 3 battles have to throw at you. Also, be aware that you get healed between all 3 fights, but only fight 1>2 revives your mons, any mons fainted after fight 2 will stay that way, so try to keep them all at least alive before the end of the 2nd fight.

you dont even need to hack, just getting a basic pokemon traded to you to start your journey with one of those types can work too. i know i got sneasel traded to me to begin my ice monotype run which i highly recommend it was challenging but fair. Steel seems to be the easiest IMO. Piplup as a starter could be worse and you get early access to things like pineco, klang and wormadam trash as well as adding to your party with stronger mons the further you go in. Sure you wont get stuff like Metagross till like, gym 15 but there's still plenty to use up till then.

a lot of important battles are double battles, and youll find setting up a sweep tends not to work and that you're better with immediate power from the start. Arcanine with flare blitz will serve you better in the long run. That being said magcargo has a solid defensive typing as long as it stays away from ground and water types, and lava plume pairs well with flash fire or telepathy. So dont write it out entirely just dont try to sweep with it.

As someone who successfully did a monotype run. I can tell you some fights that are normally hard became much easier with the right strategy. the main thing about reborn is you have to adjust your team and strategy to each leader, not just factoring in type but also field, which mons they use specifically and how you can counter them. I was only able to beat Titania with a Shell Armor Lapras otherwise Scizor just destroyed me.

no i'm referring to the entire team. the battle was literally wide guard, block rock slides, nasty plot, wide guard, block rock slides, blizzard Double KO, wide guard, block rock slides, blizzard doubleKO, wide guard, block rock slides, blizzard Double KO. gg

honestly idk if this is by design or a bug, but he literally did nothing against my icemono but spam rock slide, to which i retaliated with wide guard and blizzard to sweep him without losing a single HP

i mean at least its not shiny, or we'd have a yu-gi-oh lawsuit on our hands

yeah iirc you can now max your EVs off vitamins. considering how scarce money can be in reborn at times this may end up actually taking longer than straight EV training so i see no problem with changing that mechanic.

You can literally solo adrienn with a duo of good steel types that resist/immune ground. bronzong, magnezone and metagross all come to mind (magnet rise/air balloon) poison types can also corrode the mist field. if you're really desperate there's a few moves like defog and tailwind that can blow the mist away for a fairy tale field, where you can destroy her with steel types.

how tf did he get unown? did he count that one room as a new area or just go through the entire cave with repels on?
