Nice to see this as it is my favorite battle style as it helps prevent just having 1 to 1 counters that get a free swap in and it makes you think alot more about when you can swap. It also make pursuit an actual threat.

Looks like a very nice team.

I can't see the attachment.

First time I have read through this looks very good will definatly be following this.

Hello everyone Stompa here with part 3 of my mono dark playthrough on pokemon reborn. I am just going to remind you here that I write this as I play and that I use the set battle mode (so no free swapping after a kill). Also to help set a few things up for the future I installed the weather change mod. I will only be using this to trigger certain weather related events and to change all major battles weather to neutral. That last part is so that major battles aren't effected by the RNG of the weather. Also I disabled all the other parts of the mod so I only had the weather parts (like being able to use TMX's without teaching them). So without further ado. Part 3: The First PULSE (and the other bits before it and maybe some things after it) So after that last part I am almost ready to go off to the slums. I decided to drop the 2 pickup pokes now as they are now taking up space for the slots of other pokes on my team. (pancham and hopefully the ducklett egg) Using the weather mod as stated above I go and pick up this litte guy for later. He is going to be used for mixed Skuntank breeding later. Now after setting the weather back to clear I drop the little guy off and head towards the slums. And we meet Victoria who tries to stop us getting past by battling us. Kinda dissapointing fight but what can you do Frogadier is OP! Once I head into the slums I spy this blue beauty. Now Ducklett is important because it is the only pokemon is Murkrow's egg group that learns brave bird via level up before Shelly and as an added plus it also gets roost which helps as well. So until I clear out the first room and run arround until I catch this cutie. I am gonna leave it with Scrappy until it learns Crunch at least for now. I also put him at the front of the party to do some swap training to get him up to level. I pick up this thing which as I said will be usefull later. At the end of the slumms after following a Scraggy box we meet the Pokemon Gang. Now with the Pokemon Gang down I can head out of the Slums. Over in the Coral ward before doing the battle with Cain I head south to pick up a few more items and to battle the fisherman to hopefully get some more exp on pancham. And it did gain another level. Now off to save the oshawott and battle Cain. Yeh moxie Mightyena is OP and I love it. I head back to the Obsidia Ward meet a spoink that runs away and get TMX cut, teach it to Purrloin instead of scratch and then go to fight the PULSE. After I head back to the sweet shop give the girl a choc ice cream (gathered via pickup) to get her to move and buy some strawberry ice cream that I might need in the future. Now onto ZEL and the PULSE. After the PULSE is gone I spend a bit of time running arround clearing out some trainers, rescuing the day care couple and picking up some items. While doing that I grab this. The egg hatched into this beauty. (I did soft reset the egg for different stats and all the ones I got had both nasty plot and low kick so even though they are egg moves I think they are set egg moves not like other encounters. 3 of the 4 eggs I did were timid nature) So with this gal obtained I finally have a full party. Now off to school. Now I never want to say that again. I went through the school up to Fern but that is where I am going to leave this here as before I fight the 2 of them I want everyone that can be bred with the egg moves I want them to have to have the egg moves (and nature and good stats) that they need at this point in the game i.e. sucker punch on Mightyena and the mixed Stunky/Skuntank. I am also not doing a party/box checkup at the end of this part but i will be doing one at the start of the next part because alot of things will be changing. So until next time stay safe, have fun and may RNGesus bless you. Edit1/ps: I will be buying slugma to help speed up egg hatching

yeh you look like you need something to deal with steel types and weavile so something fire or fighting.

BTW everyone I should be able to get an update out on this tomorrow (saturday 15th) hopefully.

Btw if you want a powerfull starter charmander/charmeleon with dragon rage its OP af that flat 40 damage early game is so broken.

Yeh there is one before julia but i used it on... i think mighyena well poochyena at the time its stats were very good but it had the wrong ability

It is the main reason I am keeping purrloin arround and if it does well with prankster along the way then it may stick arround.

I would be using it as a field burner but I may be able to use the mixed Skuntank for that role to deal with shelly while using fake out on the rain setter (don't remember its name) and flame burst it.

I am looking forward to see how you deal with the start of the game and kiki.

I was planning on joining them to use murkrow on shelly. And I was possibly gonna trade my mystery egg if its not dark. Also I was gonna breed a mixed Skunktank with flame burst. Also I heard you can just random encounter houndor in the magma gang hideout. Is that true?

I have some plans one of which is relying on the encounter murkrow having an egg move specifically perish song. But I have never done the event before so I don't know.

I haven't yet as it doesn't have many good status moves yet but I am holding out hope for it as I know of its potential.

Hello everyone Stompa here brining you part 2 of my mono dark run. Sorry this is comming out a day later than I would have liked I spent all day playing an MMO and lost track of time to do this. Also I am writing this up as I am going along so some sections may be shorter if I don't have the time to do more and there may be gaps if I need to do some grinding. But without further ado onto part 2. Also note i am using the set battle style (you don't get given the option to swap after you KO something) just cause it adds a little chalenge and I prefer it. Part 2: The First Gym (and the other bits before it) So after a bit of grinding and gathering my new team and wiping out all the availible trainers in this part of the city I am off to fight fern with this team. Now onto Fern. Now onto the next part. After healing up I head over to the gym only to have to go to the other factory. (I did pick up the ability capsule that was there). Well the factory was a little bit of a let down as for all of it except aster and eclipse I just spammed assist on purrloin. For aster and eclipse I did that until Purrloin died then brought out Frogadier licked Elekid then died to feint attack (cause protean made me ghost type) by that point Fern was down to Snivy in the red as on the same turn the frog died so did elekid, I brought in Stunky and poisoned magby and scratched it for the win. I didn't take screen shots as it was a little dull and not super important. But I did take this one which I love. After clearing the gym out of the regular trainers I head back to the northern allyway to go back to training to make sure everyone (but the 2 pickup mons) is at least level 18. (I also pick up another shiny while I am leveling) My team heading into the Julia fight. So with my team all ready I head into the Julia fight. And after that she goes to sleep. Once I leave Victoria tells me about what is happening in Obsidia. After heading back to the grand hall to heal I take out the new trainers arround that area then talk to Florina who gives me passage to Obsidia. I head in and fight my way over to the pokemon center. But before I head in I go over and battle the 'Day care couple'. So after that I head into the center to heal up. That is where I am leaving it for now I will be back next time to take on the Slums and the PULSE machine. My boxes. My Party. Edit1: Fixed some spacing things after the spoilers.

also it is a mother****ing monster early game once you get past the first gym with easy paraflinching

Hello everyone Stompa here to bring you a mono run using Dark type. I chose this as they are my favorite type (along side rock) and can be done as a Reborn mono run without having to trade or cheat any pokemon in. Also I won't really be covering too much story just enough to show what point I am at. So without delay lets begin. Part 1: The Begining So here I am. The bombing thing happens and I choose a starter. Now I head downstairs and meet Cain. The most outrageously, fabulously gay character I have ever met. So of course we battle after a little flirting. So with the first battle over i move onto victoria. Also cain calls ame 'Master'. After the rest of the talking I grab 5 extra balls and 5 common candy cause they are cheeper here than at the sweet shop a bit later on. That is it for today as I have some things to do but I hope to get a large ammount of progress done and uploaded tomorrow. And sorry for it being a bit short.

is this run still alive? cause if not i may ninja the type for a mono run myself

with eviolite it can even shrug off non super effective non STAB physical moves to a decent extent and blissey cannot do that at all

In battles with multiple opponents, the user selects itself as the target, but hits an adjacent opponent that is selected at random upon each use of the move. Taken from bulbapedia.

thanks for this!

how do you get the animated sprites into the post?
