Hydreigon needs it's ability as wonderguard.
It has no means of setting up and has 5 pretty common weakness.

I hate to sound like a broken record, but go into the UU room on showdown, ask around and fucking take off the Bias Goggles. wonder guard is the most broken ability in the game, no matter what you say, having that many IMMUNITIES (I put it in caps so you don't confuse them for resists) is about as broken as can get. And you don't seem to understand how exactly Powercreep works, so allow me to explain as simple as I can: Big Strong Thingy gets replaced by Bigger Stronger Thingy. And about that quick killing and stalling, THAT'S LITERALLY OU. If you don't like it, don't play it. Crazy right, not playing something you don't like
-
Everyone else has pretty much covered it once again, but I’ll just make it clear that giving hydreigon, a pseudo-legendary with great offensive capability and an already good typing, 13 immunities from wonder guard is not OU potential; that is Uber potential. And at that point you wouldn’t even be allowed to play it in OU.
-
Just love it when trading for starters becomes so easy because of helpful people. Now I have a Garchompite which I'll probably never use but it's cool nonetheless.
-
Need Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Tododile, Turtwig and Rowlet for starters in Reborn. And they're pretty tough to get too. Great.

Eyy status is working again!
Does there have to be a spoiler lock for episode 19? Wouldn't make much sense since the story ends. There wouldn't be much point in people discussing anything about the game(except side quests) without completing the story.
Either way it should be an exciting ending. I'm expecting a Danganronpa 3 style ending so let's see how it goes.
-
If there weren't a lock during the first few days, then people will inevitably spoil themselves off of someone else's mislabeled topic and throw a hissy fit- the locks exist to try and keep that on the down low as possible. After all, different people complete thises things at drastically different rates, and battles that may be easy for some will leave others stuck for a horridly long while.
-
I don't think it'd really be any different to the release of any other episode, so yes. after all, there will be people who want help with specific battles, people who complete the whole thing within a few days and want to discuss story/ending etc, while other people won't have even gotten around to downloading/playing it yet, or will be waiting for public release while community is out

Is Bulbasaur day time only or something? I tried searching again and nothing but I always do it at night.
-
I don't think so? As far as I'm aware, bulbasaur is just stupendously rare- and a little under 20 levels weaker than the local wooper when you do finally find it. Oh, and it knows Take Down by then as well, so False Swipe is a bit too risky here. Add in that all starters have a rather low Catch Rate (45), and this particular one is immune to a solid number of Status moves, and... Well, may RNGesus bestow their blessings upon that encounter.

Has Ame ever changed a puzzle of a previous episode in the past? Because I want the magic square puzzle to be changed so that the numbers can be freely inputted. Sure the rewards are great but half of us don't bother using a Gardevoir on our team and nor do we need a dark z crystal. Solving the puzzle on paper itself is pretty tough but it's fun. Inputting it is definitely not.

I don´t really think it´s too hard. At least this way you have to work for it a little and can´t just copy a magic square solution you found on the internet. And as far as I can tell, the numbers can be put in "freely" - meaning that every starting pattern can be changed into the correct pattern. Compared to some of the tile puzzles found in the circus that´s definitely progress.
-
Every department store sticker puzzle has been a puzzle for just that with no additional rewards. And as far as I can tell, every z crystal puzzle has also been it's own thing. With this many rewards in one puzzle it's clearly a case of cramming.
Oh right I guess you could copy it from the internet. I hate the agate circus puzzles though and have actively avoided them for the whole game. Probably the best decision I made in the game.
-
Solved the magic square on paper and went to try it out in Reborn. Now I find out that the player doesn't even have the freedom to move the numbers where they want but has to follow a certain sequence. Welp, time for a YouTube video I guess. It's too tedious to sit and think of a correct pattern of arrangement too.
-
Sinnoh remakes seem imminent. The introduction of ultra necrozma really dethroned arceus from the god pedestal. And necrozma is not even created by arceus but is basically an alien who is op. Arceus will have to really power up to keep it's status as a Pokémon God.
-
Bulbasaur seems like is ultra rare in Azurine. Renovated it(not added any new species though) and have been running around for half an hour but no dice. I wonder if snivy in the snow is equally rare. And I have absolutely no clue what to do for litten because I went with the Aqua gang so no fire types for me.
-
Litten is the final gift from the Aqua Gang. You have to take and give all the appropriate applications for each member. Then, Archer will give you Litten. However, it means you won't get the Oshawott who can be obtained from Maxwell when you side with the Magma Gang. To compensate, you can still get the little guy from a woman living in Agate City. She will give you a Litten in exchange of a Stantler, so it should work the same way as with Oshawott.
And you're right, Bulbasaur can be found as a rare encounter in Azurine Island once you've paid for the renovation. Also, the appearence rate for Snivy is 5%. He can only be found in a very specific area from Route 4. You have to do the hiker quest from Agate City to unlock the path leading to it.

Should I attempt the impossible puzzle on my own?
I feel like it'll be fun writing the numbers on a paper and figuring out the magic box where everything adds to 15. There's only one solution so after paper it should be easy to replicate it right? Only have to make sure that the numbers in the center row are not repeated I think.

Question about Episode 18 gym leader
SpoilerHow is Hardy's dusk lycanrock so fast? I have a jolly choice scarf garchomp with max speed plus perfect IVs and it got outsped by a rock slide? That can't be possible unless the lycanrock is scarfed as well with max speed AND positive nature. So is it?
-
Episode 18 battle gauntlet is so easy with perfect IV and EV pokemon. Mine were level 88 too and I had battled before on another save. But still pretty easy to deal with. Looks like Garchomp and Magnezone complement each other decently.
Hardy was pretty easy too. Started off with my Volcarona just get some giga drain damage and rock slide missed so a bit lucky. Then Garchomp, Magnezone, Metagross and Greninja take the rest. But what is his special orange dog even made off? It outsped my level 90 jolly Hawlucha with 172 speed EVs like it was nothing!
The Solaris battle was cool but did not expect a Staraptor to survive an ice punch from an adamant metagross with full attack. Or his garchomp to survive an outrage from mine. Or his Gyarados to survive a discharge from modest Magnezone. His EVs are realy really buffed it looks like. Imagine how would his team be when used in field effects.
-
An advice to all trainers. Don't teach your Groudon the move stomping tantrum. If it gets angry then it might just stomp the earth flat!
-
Is there any reason for the naming of the wards in Reborn the way they are? Lapis, Obsidia etc. I think I read somewhere that there's a reason but I get confused with the naming reason of moltres, articuno, zapdos(uno, dos, tres) so I'm kinda lost.
-
Why in the world do smogon sets recommend max speed and timid nature for Magnezone?! It has like base 60 speed. They're saying to scarf it so it outspeeds a Kartana lol. It may outspeed but that's so ridiculous. Even an elecktrike is faster.

The kartana excuse really only works this Gen., while magnezone's been running high-Speed Choice sets from it's introduction. My guess is that it's due to the fact that magnezone has no means of active recovery, and is thusly prone to being worn down throughout the fight simply by switching in to do its actual job (hunting down, entrapping, and ultimately elimination opposing Steel Types). It doesn't want to take any more blows than it already has to, and the best way to make sure that doesn't happen is to blast your target to smithereens before they can even move!
I'm personally a little annoyed that Smogon only has Magnet Pull sets for it (and probopass), but that may have something to do that I play in-game rather than comp.- the need to off Steels isn't quite so significant in the majority of fights, no?
-
magnezone is limited by its stats, other than special attack and to a lesser extent defense, being rather bad. id argue magnet pull is the only reason its still in ou, even. sturdy had a fall from grace with stealth rock appearing on pretty much every team.
ingame trapping isnt even as important, as ai trainers often dont even switch out to begin with. so ingame id 100% go with sturdy magnezone.
-
Earthquake is such a bad move. The only reason an earthquake is scary is because buildings and trees can collapse on you and you can get crushed. In a Pokémon battle with pure barren land as a stadium, exactly how is shaking the ground supposed to do damage? Isn't earth power, with all kinds of eruptions straight from the ground, more harmful than simply shaking the ground?
-
Breeding complete! Now Ev training.
I didn't believe it when I looked it up but larvesta evolves at level 59 into Volcarona! That's almost equal to psuedo legendary Pokemon. And it has 135 special attack which is 10 points higher than Hydreigon. And it STILL gets quiver dance! We need a buff to Hydreigon with a mega and a stat boosting move. Let the Hydra rampage in OU too.
-
Lol or it's ability in Pokémon Insurgence, Learnen which gives it 5 heads at full and 7 in red hp. I thought it was a pretty balanced ability. Because the power of a move is calculated very nicely.
Dragon pulse= 85
85÷5= 17 per head+5 more power= 22 per head×5 heads= 110 base power.
I like this concept a lot because it basically gives Hydreigon a more harder hitting move and it's stats get boosted with mega evolution so it can really do some great damage.
-
So Magnezone is better than Electivire in Reborn right? Does electric terrain nullify all other field effects?
-
Going to breed myself Hawlucha and Magnezone. Should be easy. And I get to test out my new team of six against 4 gym leaders too. This should be fun.
-
People leave, time vanishes and life goes on. My suggestion is to complete any work before dedicating your time to other people. If you can't constantly stay in touch with others you'll be even sadder when they leave.
-
How long do people breed to get 5 IV pokemon in Reborn? After breeding for 5 hours my Larvesta has 31 in hp, sp attack and speed while it has only 29 in defense and 30 in sp def. The defense and sp def just doesn't want to go higher. It's so annoying.

I get my 5iv mons extremely quickly.
getting the perfect 5iv mon I want is a different story, especially if its shiny.
Like I got plenty of larvestas and breedjects and shit In fact I breed so much I have about 60 competative mons I can use
Box 1 is Phyiscal Attackers and some Bagons
Box 2 is SpA. The Kelfkis, Scyther, and Rotom in the bottom are there because I'm trading those to someone
Box 3 is bit different. the Top row is mons that are like for specific strategies like doubles or sand storm compositions. The other row is those that I need certain megas/z-crystals for them to really be amazing
Box 4 the first row along with the Grubbin are for a Trick Room team, the 3rd row is utility, 4th row SpD Tanks, 5th row DEF Tanks
and these are all of the spare 6iv mons I have
I am pretty sure I have like 20 boxes or more filled with breedjects, most of those being around 155 5iv beldums cuz I really wanted that shiny
-
One thing bad about reborn is the goal oriented approach of us, the player. We'll do anything to reach an end. Simon delivers Tara's probably dead body, let's just go and steal a shiny charm from her room. Want an axew? Go steal an egg from it's loving parents. Want a Bagon? Specifically go to it and teach it how to fly. Our character may be perceived as good because we "help" others but remember that if getting the earthquake tm involved burying people under a cave, we would do that too.

while this is true, I have to greatly disagree. as said before, this is not an issue of the game and probably more one of you personally. Plus, you can never please everyone. example: If you grant people the same reward for the choice no mater what, then why ever make it a choice? it will feel like your choices simply don't matter (which in that case will be the case).
-
Yes I understand your point. All I'm going to say is this.
When we read Titania's diary, she gives us a hell of a lecture. Maybe other events should have some sort of indicative basis as well. And maybe we should be able to reverse some choices after hearing the other person. For instance in the shiny charm we could show it to Tara's father and if he asks to return it then we make our final choice.
This topic could also be argued upon a lot so I won't go further but I feel like some sort of interaction or warning could add more life to the player than simply a person who'll do anything to get what they want.
And at the end of the game we are informed of all our choices and how we affected some people. In a sense it's like Undertale I guess.

Have Garchomp and Greninja. Currently breeding Volcarona. Going to re breed metagross to get perfect ivs. Already caught a Hawlucha. So have to breed Magnemite, Metagross and Hawlucha while currently breeding Volcarona.
As for items I only need a choice scarf for Garchomp and a Metagrossite. Have life orb, firium z, leftovers and elemental seed.
Also need Earthquake for Garchomp, Ice Beam for Greninja and Thunderbolt for Magnezone. Need to teach Metagross ice punch as well.
This might take a bit.
