I forgot that you already have a fairy type which was Gardevoir sorry so I digress, Swampert will also make a good starter. Ampharos is actually quite amazing even without a Mega. If you’d like a different one, Galvantula is also a great electric type.
Typhlosion and Primarina are the best candidates for your starter since you lack those types. Last lot can be Ampharos for electric coverage. Honorable mentions: Roserade, Magnezone, Arcanine, Alola-Raichu, Alola-Ninetales, Mamoswine and Diggersby.
If you think that having diverse teams, constantly changing movesets and to willingly learn and adapt to these field effects are all but a hassle, then maybe this isn’t the game for you my g. Reborn caters and specializes on experimentation and variety. If you just play it like any normal Pokemon game or fan games like Insurgence, then you don’t get to appreciate Reborn fully as a whole in my opinion.
Or.... or!!! We might actually need Scizor to be able to beat Hardy. I’m not really expecting Hardy to be an easy prey. Especially if it turns out that Saphira is the actual gym leader of E18. All mons being available at certain points in the game has a reason for its implementation and so-so.
This might really turn out to be true... xe did say that xe wanted the protag to be the champion. I’m not sure if those words have any hidden agenda, but it made me look onto it more carefully now. I’m also suspicious about Cain and almost every character. Anyone could turn out to be a traitor. Mysteries mysteries mysteries
Delphox??? all the way~
The reason I have a soft spot for the fella because it’s design potrays possibly my most favorite specialization in mmorpg’s which is well, a mage or a wizard. Plus Delphox is a Pyromancer, which is 100000x cooler and majestic so it’s pretty clear that we are all in agreement that everyone here are honorary members of the Delphox nation.
Alolan-Golem is okay but Magnezone has the bulk to back up its offensive prowess. Mawile on the other hand is kinda tricky as it lacks defensively so I suggest Gardevoir to be it's replacement.
Corey has been consistent of being the embodiment of suffering. Aya, E16 and back made Freddy Krueger Jobless with her Tentacruel being an actual and realistic nightmare. Kiki with Telluric Seed Medicham was you know, scarring. Samson was the only one I didn't have any trouble with since the Circus Field made flying types very op even Noibat can OHKO his team (this is a joke, cause Noibat can't do shiznit).
Life's kind of working it's ways with me these past few days. Been feeling out of touch recently. Since I have time to unwind now, Clockwork and Spork, it's finally time
Gives me the feeling of relief, like I'm still me or I don't know. Fills me with comfort and puts me at ease especially when I go back to Pokemon. Life is really strange that way
Look Maqqy, I feel a bit like you at the moment: the fact of not having time to play because of life and a lot of work, I can not wait to start playing Pokémon around August, which will be my month of rest and I would say finally, return as I once was :3
