[Spork Episode 8: Smoothie + Delicia's Delicious Dreamland]

Good luck, I hope things get better soon for you ICSW! As someone going into my 4th year in university, I can relate in regards to mental exhaustion/lack of energy.

 

btw I recently started this game and I really like Spork. The pokemon selection is really fun and various, which is a nice break from the limited selection of Reborn/Rejuv/Desolation.

[Pokemon Insurgence Help]

I'm gonna attempt my first serious playthrough of Insurgence once the final update comes out too!

 

So you got:

Sylveon/Espeon

Mega Gengar

Gigalith

 

I think a physical ground type like Gliscor, Swampert, or Garchomp would have great synergy with your current team since many physical rock resist mons are weak to Earthquake. The latter two won't add another water weakness as well. Also having something that can switch into thunder wave is convenient too.

 

Next, a fire type would really round out your team. I'm gonna be a bit biased here and recommend one of my top 3 favorite mons of all time, Volcarona. Volc gives your squad a solid setup sweeper who can 6-0 many teams after a quiver dance. Also, a fire type in general can really help put a dent into steel types like Skarm, Ferrothorn, or Scizor who might give the rest of your team a bit of trouble. If you're not a fan of Volc, you could also try Typhlosion, Arcanine, Mega Charizard X/Y, etc...

 

Last but not least, a priority sweeper with swords dance seems like a good idea. There are a lot of options like Bisharp, Weavile, etc... but Scizor seems ideal since it also has recovery in the form of roost. However, any decent priority sweeper will do so feel free to pick which one looks coolest  

 

Edit: I just remembered this is Gen 6 so Talonflame's Gale Wings still works regardless of HP. Knowing this, Talonflame can fill both of the last two roles I mentioned in one mon if you teach it swords dance and roost. However, this depends on if Suzerian releases that item from Zeta/Omicron that can give any mon its hidden ability in the next update. If you go with Talonflame, your team is pretty much complete in 5 mons so maybe just a water resist is left. Milotic are Hydreigon are some of my personal favorites that can switch into water moves well, but again feel free to pick any of your personal favorites out of water, dragon, or grass.

[Pokemon Reborn: Sandbox Mode]

An Egg Move Tutor would be a decent idea to optimize generated shinies. idk if this is even possible so no worries if it doesn't happen.

[VS Venam and Saki]

It helps to leave Venam's Toxapex alone and KO Saki's pokemon first. Toxapex is pretty much a non-threat offensively and occupies a opposing slot that would otherwise be a threat. 

[Pokemon Rejuvenation Viability Rankings Thread 4.0 [Community WIP] [SPOILERS]]

 Primarina (A)

 

Spoiler

+ Available before Gym 1 as a starter

+ Water/Fairy is an amazing type combo (resists Fire, Ice, Water, Bug, Fighting, Dark, Shadow, and completely immune to Dragon)

+ 126 SpA is highest of any starter along with solid special bulk at 116 SpD. 80 HP ain't half bad either, especially for a wallbreaker.

+ Access to 90 BP water STAB in the form of Sparkling Aria at only level 34 and Moonblast shortly after at 44 or by heart scale. Hydro Pump is another option at level 55/heart scale. As a result, Primarina can function independently without much need for assistance via TM or egg moves.

+ Movepool also includes: Learns Surf HM and can utilize Hidden Power TM, Energy Ball TM, and Psychic TM. Aqua Jet, Sing, and Misty Terrain have niches too but personally, I found myself clicking Moonblast and Hydro Pump 90% of the time.

+ Takes great advantage of Crawli's rain and Flora's enchanted woods + rain (one of the only times you get to OHKO a Ferrothorn with a fairy move  )

+ Great matchup vs Ren and Aelita due to fairy moves

+ Outstanding vs Amber once the inhibiting terrain is removed by a teammate

+ Holds its own against Valarie due to resisting water and ice beam + great SpD + 95 BP Fairy STAB to hit opposing water types neutrally

+ Special bulk and terrain-boosted Moonblast help tremendously vs Gym 11

+ Ice resist is handy vs Angie and Sparkling Aria avoids the terrain nerf that surf suffers in the aforementioned battle

+ Fairy typing is also handy against Rejuvenation fan favorite Texen

+ Great against Geara's signature pokemon (both battles)

 

- Opportunity cost due to being a starter (can't have Greninja, Blaziken, etc... as of V9)

- Physically frail unless taking a resisted hit

- Slow 

- Doesn't gain Fairy typing until level 34, so Keta and most shadow pokemon are still threats at that point (on the plus side, Venam won't hit as hard)

- Dead weight against Erick

 

[V9 - Bug Reporting Thread]

• I'm having the same problem as above with regards to Keta and the Soul Stone
