Well the only thing i have on your team is that you don't have a grass type attack.
Mega Swampert or just a stally gastrodon will hurt your team.
If it's not in the rain you'll probably have to sac something to burn either of those with your arcanine, but then what?
Special defensive gastrodon is just going to recover every type of damage of and mega swampert with ice punch just OHKO's everything but your mamo.
Can't really think of a way to change your team so you can counter those 2. Maybe you have something in mind?
I for myself was thinking of replacing your Arcanine with Drought ninetales with solar beam.
But you'll lose your intimidate though.
Grass knot on gardevoir might help as well

It really annoys me that you gave up at such an easy job or thing to do lol
7 hours ago, LilyX said:a) do you speed up your game? If so, disable that.
b) you can post your safe file and I´ll stop the gastly for you.
I'd say do those things because tbh, it's so easy. Even with speed up.
-
Oh wauw.
It did not work for me actually, i got the error "gamefile is nil".
Maybe it depends on the place where you saved in insurgence or something? Or the maps you've put your games in or something, I have no idea.
I'm thinking of someone who could tell us more about this and how come you were able to open reborn with an insurgence save file.
I'm just curious lol @Walpurgis maybe? Although I feel bad bothering you for not even a problem or bug or something

But the thing is, is that I already have a Zorua...
Okay, now I will have 2 Zoruas
Well a spoiler is there to not spoil the surprise for you, so next time if you ask for a quest and someone uses a spoiler don't open it

Well, I would definitely put psychic or dazzling gleam over dark pulse for Gengar.
Ghost and dark type moves have the same coverage. Ghost and psychic types so dark pulse will be pretty useless.
And put U-turn over crunch on archeops. For some nice momentum with his great power and speed (before defeatist).
I don't know if you want one of those to be a mega. But seeing your team you're kinda weak to ghost types. A Jellicent or Pallossand will do a lot of pain against your team. So i'd suggest for your sixth pokemon a Mega-Sharpedo.
Give it protect, ice fang, psychic fang and crunch. Or maybe waterfall over psychic fangs. That's your choice.
Protect so you get the speed boost before mega evolving, then hit hard with strong jaw adamant base 140 attack crunch or ice fang ^^
-
I'm sorry but Jynx is just not that good haha.
You don't really need an ice type pokemon if you got ice punch gator or kingdra for the dragon types. And you've got enough for flying, grass, and ground as well
Maybe Venusaur is a better choice
You don't have a grass and poison type on your team and with the sticky web of galvantula you might be able to outspeed a lot of stuff. Also it's really bulky and can give you a lot of turns with leech seed, synthesis and giga drain.
But if you're going to use Hippo Venusaur's synthesis is less powerfull in sandstorm so watch out for that.
You could also go with Ferrothorn. It has great defensive typing and doesn't get hit by sandstorm but also comes with another fyghting type weakness.
And you are kinda weak to fighting types so you could replace your rapidash with a Delphox or a Chandelure.
Chandelure gets psychic through tm and i think this thing will be a MONSTER under sticky webs. It also gets Will-o-wisp and energy ball for coverage.
Delphox could be a nice option too cause it gets dazzling gleam.
For another water type you could go with swampert, slowbro or primarina.
Swampert for the full on sand team, slowbro for your fighting type weakness. But i don't think you'll need 2 defensive pokemon because you'll probably have steelix or hippo already.
Primarina would be best because of your dark type weakness and because of her somewhat lacking speed but great sp.attack she's also very good under sticky webs. Moonblast and surf are going to take lives lol. She also gets psychic through tm for some coverage.
Looks like i recommended a lot of starters lol. Hope it helped anyways!

Did not notice. Sorry about that.
No problem
was ment to be "a couple of posts back" by the way haha.
17 minutes ago, Swampellow said:Based on the fact that there is going to be a lot of significant boss battles in e19 (Various Meteor Fights, Saphira, e4 + champion equivalent battle), and how Ame likes to be (somewhat) even with Singles vs Doubles battles, there is a decent chance that Saphira would be doubles.
Aah okay, well you obviously know more about that than me so if you say so.
I'm hoping it will be haha.
17 minutes ago, Swampellow said:There definitely are ways that a person could counter Naganadel with only Dragon types, but you must remember, as smart as Marc makes the AI, it won't be able to effectively use everything it has (which is another reason some of the leaders are much easier than others).
Yeah that makes sense.
17 minutes ago, Swampellow said:And no, I'm saying that if you bring something that is a counter to her strategy (not just her team) you are bound to push her over. Of course we don't actually know her strategy for sure yet, but I go back to my Hardy example. 99% of the people who complained about Hardy being too easy brought something that countered his strategy (Rock Slide Spam). They did this via a few ways (usually), outspeeding after changing the weather (typically w/ rain), changing the field in some way (which eliminated a lot of the chip damage that the field did, as well as weakening Rock Slide), or bringing steel types (who typically have high defense and resist rock, which counters Rock Slide).
In a way yes it does just come down to building a team to counter what she does. But personally I like to try to beat each leader with as few changes to my team is possible. I know that a lot of other people also play this way. But there are then also the people who bring teams designed to counter whatever a gym leader can/is meant to do and they then win easily.
I personally like to breed haha.
So I have like 2 boxes full of mons with almost perfect IV's and EV-trained ready to fight so. I don't really have a main team. But I like to play with my trickroom team so that will probably be my main team for the elite four. But i defeated Hardy easily too with a team what was build against him.
I get where you're coming from because before Amaria i played like that as well. And it was so satisfying to defeat the leaders with your own team. But then i got bored between episodes and started breeding.
Makes me wanna do another run after E19 with just like a handfull of mons. Will probably do that. -

from a story point of view it works, earlier in you would look at Saphira and think to yaself, even if i had the same levels as her it would likely be a very difficult battle for my team, but when you reach her gym in the story it feels more like you been through SO much shit, you and your team are prepared to stand on equal footing with her.
Haha yeah, right before you challenge Noel you see her flying over on a dragonite while you're about to challenge the normal type gym leader with a semi-good team and you're like "woah, that gym batter's going to be insanely difficult".
And now with all the Pokemon we have on the same level, and probably a lot of the same Pokemon as her it's probably not going to be that difficult (fingers crossed).

There is a pretty decent chance that Saphira will be doubles, which would greatly reduce the chance of Naganadel from being dumb . Regardless of whether she is doubles or singles however it doesn't matter. There is a Pokemon that can steamroll essentially every gym (or in some cases
Excadrillthey can steamroll multiple gyms. Ame isn't going to worry that much having a team be able to counter one specific Pokemon, it isn't her style.Its the same thing people complained about with Hardy. If you are going to bring something that can 100% counter the gym leader (for Hardy that was usually a steel type/weather/field changing, while for Saphira Naga could be the same thing), it really won't matter what the leader's team is.
Why do you think that there's a decent change for her being doubles?
I know it's not her style, I was just being curious if people could think of a way to counter Naganadel with just only Dragon types.
So what you're saying is, if you bring something to counter her team you're bound to push her over? I'm not sure what you're exactly saying right here. It's just a matter of teambuilding and you'll just win easily?
54 minutes ago, Sirrobert said:Well it's not like that's a break from design. The solution to Hardy is "Wide Guard". That's not even a pokemon.
I get where you're coming from,
The further we progress in the game, the easier it gets to find "solutions" or "counters" to a gym leaders team. Especially now, when all the non-legendary Pokemon are available.

for all we know her Dragonite may be defensively built evs/ivs wise but we can also use Gastro Acid if we felt like removing it's ability or Soak/Nature's Madness if we felt like changing it's type but those are only for people really struggling.
Well IV wise it will definitely have 6 perfect IV's. I mean dragonite is (probably) her ace.
And hence Dragon dance is boosted (probably gives +2 in attack and speed) in the Dragon Den's field it probably won't be defensively build but she definitely could be ofcourse. Who knows.
1 minute ago, Sirrobert said:At this point it'd take several pokemon to set up a killing combination.
That is basically the same thing you do for all gyms.
Gyms are not really competitive human vs human. They are more puzzles.
Yeah true, but with Naganadel that combination of Pokemon could be a very small combination

5 minutes ago, SilverHelio said:
Saphira's Dragonite could have the Multiscale ability, reducing the damage taken at full HP. Chances are that Dragonite would survive a hit and strike back hard
Yeah i stated that a couple of posts as well.
Multiscale also cancels her Dragon weakness so the +2 super effective Dragon pulse will become a +0 neutral Dragon pulse which will definitely not be enough to OHKO.
But if you get up Rocks, her multiscale will be broken and then Naganadels Dragon pulse will become +2 again. And with the field effect bonus for Dragon pulse (1.5x bonus) it probably will be enough to knock it out. Can't calc it precisely so I'm not sure, but I'm guessing it will.

I dont think blaze kick has a higher crit cha-- oh wait it actually does. If I had to guess I'd say dire hit is probably not working correctly.
I'll move this to bug reporting just so there's record of it and we don't forget. Thanks for bringing this to my attention @N1Dude!You're welcome, glad to help!

10 minutes ago, Sirrobert said:
How are you keeping it alive while you set up?
With a focus sash? Because you just trivialized that yourself. And even if you did make your Naganadel survive with a Focus Sash, a single priority move shuts that down.True that, It needs to survive 1 attack from any dragon and then it can continue.
4 minutes ago, Lord Drakyle said:Name a Dragon, with priority moves and what those moves are, the number is rather thin
Then you need to hope that E-speed dragonite doesn't kill you indeed.
There is no other dragon mon with priority i guess? correct me if i'm wrong.
But then again E-speed dratini was an event long ago but true on showdown he gets it but in Reborn, i'm not sure if Ame would give it to Saphira's dragonite.

Worst case scenario, she has a choice scarf Latios
Latios has 110 base speed
Naganadel 121.
So after 1 kill (1 speed boost) you outspeed a choice scarf Latios. You outspeed every dragon but a Noivern, which has 123 base speed.
I don't wanna look like an annoying smartass or something but these are just facts and i think people underestimated Naganadel.
-
1 minute ago, Lord Drakyle said:
Also how do we know Saphira wont have a lesser legendary or a Nagandel herself?
Haha, the only faster dragon than noivern is Ultra necrozma and i'm guessing that she won't have that
, could be wrong though. (And not even mega salamence and mega rayquaza don't have a higher base speed than naganadel)
Well also mega-sceptile but didn't count him cause he can't hold an item like a choice scarf.
And a Naganadel of her own could also be very possible ofcourse, would be fun to play around some speedtie's

Well i think you are overthinking it, consider what one must do to get a Poipole/Nagandel, the amount of effort it takes i think makes up for how it fares against Saphira's team that said, have you considered the possibility that we face Saphira in doubles? this may change the battle somewhat even then for those that get a Nagandel if they want a more challenging battle they can refrain from using it.
Hmm did not think of doubles, that's a good point. That would make a sweep definitely much harder. But since dragon dance is buffed in her field i don't think she would battle in doubles.
2 minutes ago, uberle said:Considering how difficult it is to get Poiple in the first place I don't think that it's that big of a deal
Also since you only get the one, it's not like you can try for IVs (if that matters to you)
Saphira may have a counter, or she may not. But I'm fairly certain that not many people are actually going to bother catching and evolving all the mons that you need for Naganadel.
So I don't think it got released too early.
If you have it, then you deserve it.
Well, you're curtain of 3 perfect IV's and since you get only 1 I think once you get it, it's worth it to soft reset for 31 in speed and sp.attack IV's. At least i thought it was worth it.
Well I get your points, I worked hard for it too and it definitely is OP but if you have it, you deserve it. That's a fair point.
By the way the field effect Dragon's Den says that multiscale (Dragonite's ability) cancels his dragon type weakness in this field so that could do something too.
I guess we'll just have to see how it works out. And if it turns out that she is a push over with naganadel I won't use her for my own challange. We'll see haha!

Hey guys,
So since Naganadel is available in E18, and the dragon type gym leader is fought in E19, they surely thought of a Naganadel counter for Saphira right?
I mean otherwise you'd just start with it, nasty plot up and just OHKO everything while getting speed boosts.
So what counter do you think Saphira would have?
I was thinking about it this week and actually could not think of an effective counter for it.
The only counter would be scarf Noivern, because that is the only dragon type with a higher base speed. So you knock out her lead, Naganadel gets a +1 and then she should be outspeeding you with scarf noivern and OHKO you with even a dragon pulse.
Then I thought, maybe a goodra could tank a hit. So i calced it;
Z-dragon pulse does 96.8-114% to a Max HP Max Spdef calm natured assault vest goodra
+2 252 SpA Naganadel Devastating Drake (160 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Assault Vest Goodra: 372-438 (96.8 - 114%) -- 81.3% chance to OHKO
So Goodra isn't a counter either (did calc both mons at lvl 100 but shouldn't make much of a difference).
Last option is focus sash mons ofcourse but some rocks could break those so easily.
This got me thinking, was Naganadel released too early?
Because the last gym looks like a pushover with this OP mon in your team.
Let me know what you guys think,
N1Dude.

The ferris wheel in Agate Circus, the part of Tourmaline Desert beyond the sandstorm, and the locked rooms in Serra's mansion are three other places Ame's confirmed won't be accessible. For the ferris wheel, Ame said it's because she doesn't feel like making a tileset for it. For the sandstorm, Ame said it's the border of the Reborn region and the sandstorm is to prevent the player from going off the map. For the locked rooms in Serra's mansion, Ame said those are just Serra's personal/private rooms.
Aah okay, yeah for the sandstorm and serra's rooms i figured those wouldn't be accessible for those reasons but the Ferris wheel just got me curious. But thank you for clarrifying for the Ferris Wheel so I won't get my hopes up for the next episode.

I remember Ame saying around a year ago that it probably wouldn't open again and that it's been shut down.
Ah well, what @Chameleon109 said made kinda sense but if you say so i guess it won't open again.
A shame in my opinion, it's such a big building and i think it would be an awesome opportunity for another project of the reborn rebuilding squad.
But oh well, there's a lot to enjoy in E19 still,
like the Ferris Wheel in agate circus(?)
(been going there everytime a new episode came out and it bothered me everytime it didn't open cuz i'm so curious lol.)
-
Hey guys,
So everytime i go to seventh street I walk past by the orphanage and I see that Huge ass building just sitting over there, locked.
Then it got me wondering, would it have any purpose in the future?
I could not think of any scenario where it would open again tbh. Or maybe one of the characters said something about it and I just didn't remember?
What do you guys think? Will it open again to reveal some unanswered(?) secrets or will it remain closed for ever?
Let me know what you think,
N1Dude.

What are your problems while breeding with ditto? I mean you put a pokemon in the daycare, a ditto, make like 200(?) steps and there you have it. A pokemon egg.

Get the Protect TM and Sharpedonite if you don't already have them (Protect is from the coin flip guy in Blacksteam Factory, mega stone is in North Aventurine Woods). Mega Sharpedo should be able to one shot Mismagius with Crunch and Protect allows you to get a Speed Boost before mega evolving.
I have a spare sharpedo for you if you want it @Smoke.
I know it's a sh1t one (build 1 better for myself already) but you can have it if you want. It has the moves:
Waterfall
IceFang
Zen Headbutt (I was lazy when i build this one a couple of years ago so i didn't bred psychic fangs on it, also, protect wasn't available yet back then)
Crunch
So just give me a call and you can have it.

Oh wauw, did not know he got that.
That's even better, you'll have a stab grass attack.
Then you can put ice beam over extrasensory maybe, because you have a mega gardevoir. But i guess that against AI's extrasensory is very handy to throw them off changing your type to psychic. Guess you'll have to decide on your own how you're going to fill that in.
