Hi Pokefans,
I've recently began my second playtrough of Reborn ( first halted by Noel and my poorly trained Pokemon, I've decided to start anew ).
For the most part, I'm playing how I feel like, so for example, I don't look for most powerful mons, instead I choose "cool" ones, or sometimes if a temporary replacement does something amazing, or wins my hearth by any means, then it gains permament slot in my team.
That being said, I've actually struggled trough almost my whole second playtrough.
As of now, my six that helped me beat Radomus is as follows:
Mightyena 57 Moxie Adamant Crunch Assurance Sucker Punch Bite Greninja 56 Protean Relaxed Water Pulse Lick Smack Down Extrasensory Golem 54 Stury Calm Stealt Rock Earthquake Double-Edge Stone Edge Arcanine 57 Intimidate Mild Outrage Flare Blitz Heat Wave Morning Sun Drapion 55 Battle Armor Docile Fell Stinger Crunch Cross Poison Toxic Spikes Swalot 54 Liquid Ooze Naughty Body Slam Strenght Toxic Sludge Bomb
And two other members, that reappear more often:
Dewgong 47 Thick Fat Docile Brine Aurora Beam Perish Song(or song that felled dreaded Garchomp) Dive Medicham 55 Pure Power Sassy Hidden Power(Electric) Acupressure High Jump Kick Drain Punch
Now, for a little re-cap of how I've handled Radomus(10 soft resets or so, testing best 2 mons for begging of fight, levels were as listed above):
Arcanine ( Wide Lens ) + Mightyena ( Lax Incense )
Heat Wave + Assurance, Reuniclus downed and no Trick Room, Gallade Burned and missed Close Combat ( burn would let Mighty live for second turn, but I'll take miss anyday )
Next, Metagross, same combo, KO, Gallade second miss
In comes Malamar, Gallade Hyper Potioned, Flare Blitz + Assurance, Malamar lives
Same combo kills Malamar, Gallade uses Knock Off on Arcanine
Slowkings turn, dies to Moxie boosted Mightyena, Knock Off onto Arcanine
Gardevoir comes and kills Arcanine, dies to Mighty
Still burned Gallade is last mon, Mighty finishes his sixth kill, ACE!
Hm... I might've messed something up when it comes to attacks on Arcanine, but he was my only downed, and even only damaged mon.
Now, to the subject at matter. I've reached point, where I'm struggling to choose my next Pokemon. I like all my current six, but even tho' I beat Radomus with one casualty, this is not something I suspect will happen too often.
Of all six, Mightyena stays, no matter how weak compared to others he might be, he's my favourite and a hero of this playtrough.
Could you guys and girls give me some pointers? I have access to both Move Relearner and Pokemon Psychologist, and 8 Hearth Scales.
Is there any way I could make my Mightyena better? Moves, Items? He has good attack and speed IVs and EVs.
As for others, for example I see that Fell Stinger on Drapion is not that good ( 50 base in VII, but Reborn is V or VI, so only 30, I didn't check that, my mistake ). Maybe swap this move with Thunder Fang for more coverage?
Are there wild/event Pokemon that would fit better?
For any help, I'm thankful.
