@MincedMint lol that's too funny. Goodra for the win, so underrated

Okay I think I finally figured things out with some subs in the box for when I need them! The core team is going to be Greninja, Metagross, Sylveon, Gliscor, Goodra, Mega Charizard X Since Mega Charizard comes so late, I have Silvally and Infernape as stand ins until I get there. Mega Ampharos is my back up for Goodra for situations where a dedicated Electric type would be useful, such as Amaria's upcoming gym. Still considering a dedicated grass type for the bench, maybe Sceptile? I also have Weavile on the bench for when I need a dedicated Ice type.

For sure, I plan on having a few extra mons in rotation. Having a good Grass/Poison type like Venusaur on standby is a great idea. I’m also considering Mega Heracross in slot 5, although it’s slow it’s bulky, gives me a Ground resist, and hits like a freight train. With Tailwind support from Gliscor I think I can get away with having a slowish bulky team.

Hi all, I am looking for someone to trade me Pokerus in order to start EV training. Any trash mon that has the virus that I can spread to the mons I'm training will do. I can offer shiny Slugma, shiny Bronzor, shiny Gligar, shiny Sealeo, shiny Geodude, or shiny Starly I have come across in the wild.

Gliscor hadn't even crossed my mind, thanks for the suggestion! I really like the idea of giving it Tailwind. While Goodra has decent speed, Metagross' is below average and Ampharos' is horrendous, so I think the extra speed bump will serve me well in the upcoming fights! I can also give it Toxic for more status control or Stealth Rock to whittle down the opposing team. I also appreciate the Ground immunity. Its low SpD concerns me, but I think Sylveon, Metagross, and even Goodra can eat any special moves that threaten it. I hear what you're saying about Hydro Pump on Greninja. In a game like Reborn, missing Hydro Pump could be devastating. I'll probably stick with it up until I get Life Orb but then Scald would be nice for the status. A set up sweeper I think could be super useful too, but I'm not sure I want it to be another Water type like Gyarados. I'm almost to the point where I can (finally) get that Magikarp so I will test it out and see how I like it! Seriously thanks for the help!

Hi everyone, I have been playing Reborn on and off again for a few years. Since I got a new computer I decided to start over with a brand new playthrough. So far I have made it to the restored city before Adrienn's gym, with easier access to breeding, training etc. I'm currently working on putting together a balanced team of IV bred and EV trained pokes in preparation for the end of the game. My ideas and reasoning will be included below. Also no pics because I'm not too computer savvy. Pokemon, items, and moves are based on what is available at the end of episode 18. For Pokemon where I am considering multiple options I will not be including sets. 1. Greninja w/Life Orb Naive/252 SpA/252 Spe/4 Atk - Hydro Pump - Dark Pulse/Flex - Gunk Shot - Flex (Ice Punch, Icy Wind, Grass Knot, Extrasensory) Greninja is my original starter choice in this game and I can't imagine a playthrough without it. I love the versatility to be able to change moves to fit what the team needs for each battle. 2. Metagross w/ Assault Vest Jolly/252 Spe/252 Atk/4 Def - Meteor Mash/Iron Head - Zen Headbutt - Bullet Punch - Bulldoze/Stomping Tantrum Earliest available pseudo-legendary and my answer to Fairy types. I think its high attack combined with great bulk, especially with Assault Vest, will make it a valuable asset moving forward. 3. Sylveon/Togekiss Here is where things start to get a little tricky. Sylveon has been with me ever since Eevee was first available in the Chrysolia Forest, but Togekiss has overall better bulk and I like having immunity to EQ. Both of them will do pretty much the same thing, being a defensive pivot so I can heal/give others a break. I guess it largely comes down to personal preference? 4. Goodra/(Mega) Ampharos Ampharos has been with me ever since Mareep was first available during the early game Jasper event, but Goodra is the second-earliest available pseudo (assuming I renovate the slums first which I plan on doing). Each of them fill a similar role as bulky special attackers with elemental resistances. The main difference is Ampharos' extra Ground weakness and Goodra's deeper movepool. 5. Open In this spot I think I could benefit from a hyper-offensive physical or mixed attacker. I'm thinking Infernape, Lucario, Weavile, Staraptor, or Talonflame could all be good choices. 6. Open This spot has me really stumped. I'm thinking possibly a bulky Grass type? Torterra or Meganium come to mind. Really anything that compliments the others will be fine though. I sincerely appreciate any advice or suggestions to help me round things out anyone is able to provide! I hope it takes you less time to read than it took me to type!

@Gast forgot about that one, thanks for that!

Hello everyone! So I breezed through the main storyline of EP 17 and wanted to help the community and assemble a side quest list for this episode based on what I've already done and to find anything I missed. So far this is what I have: Please feel free to add any discoveries you've made and point myself and others in the right direction!

I found Reborn through shofu's playthrough. I got very invested in the story and the challenge it presented. About 50+ episodes in I decided to download the game and play it for myself!

My Flash Fire Typhlosion pretty much solo'd Charlotte. At first my strategy was to Trick Room/Rain Dance with my Heatproof Bronzong and use Ampharos to set Electric Terrain to remove the field buffs, but they got blown away instantly on the first turn. By the time I sent out Typhlosion she didn't have anything that could hit it thanks to Flash Fire, so between the Flash Fire boosts, burning field and sun being up Typhlosion OKOED all her mons with Eruption even though it was resisted

Wonder trade fodder lol

Ready Pleasure doing business!

Sounds good, whenever you're ready

Hey! I just bred a ton of Shroomish with bullet seed with good IVs as well. I'll take the Togetic please. Username Banks416 and/or pm me!

This is the luckiest I have ever been while breeding. Was trying to get a Naive Froakie with 6 perfect IVs to run Gunk Shot, then this shiny gem popped out with 31s in everything but attack. So I changed its nature to Timid at the 7th street psychiatrist and now I'm running this beauty as a pure special attacker on my squad

I'm using mine as a special tank with the special attacking moveset @Alistair listed above. If you can slap an assault vest on it as well you're in great shape!

I'm also playing Reborn on my Mac through Wine and I haven't had any serious problems. The only thing I can think of is if you have battle animations on or not, that caused some freezing and crashing for me but with them turned off the game runs fine. If that doesn't fix the problem then hopefully someone who is more tech savvy than I can give you better suggestions. Best of luck!

Welcome to reborn!

Absolutely not haha. If you could only wear one color for the rest of your life what color would it be?

Mamoswine is also worth mentioning. It's put in a lot of work for me in my run. Anything that can learn Earthquake by level up really is an asset in this game

This goes against the "over 450 BST" but I have to say Chesnaught. I know it's one of the starters but I never see anyone mention this Pokemon at all. It has great bulk and defense, gets access to Drain Punch, Spikes, Synthesis, and Leech Seed. Any of those combined with Spiky Shield and a Rocky Helmet can whittle opponents down. This is a very reliable Pokemon and very underrated IMO
