Anna will be psychic, because that's what she used in the online league.

Psychic is a pretty good one I understand. By the first gym you can grab four pretty solid early-game Pokemon in Braixen, Munna, Espurr, and Woobat.

It really isn't under sand. An attack stat of 110 is extremely high for a normal type, matching a Pokemon like Snorlax, having decent defenses, and under Sand being almost as fast as Kingdra under rain. Add on the elemental fangs by move relearner, both play rough and crunch by level up, and you end up with a Pokemon who's main weakness in the mid-game is just that its best abusable STAB move is retaliate, which is perfectly servicable until late-game. Armaldo, with a base speed of 45, will have a final speed faster than Timid Gengar under rain assuming a decent speed IV and full EV training. Beartic meanwhile gets Icicle Crash, I know you dismissed it but its literally Ice-type rock slide. 30% chance to flinch is a solid one. It also gets Superpower to hit steel types, and Aqua Jet for pseudo-stab. Usually my fourth move is Shadow Claw or breeding play rough onto it. While true theoretically, I can guarantee what Pokemon I get so...

Sand isn’t just Excadrill. Early game is main problem is just that there are no sand setters before the Flygon trade. But you get Hippowdon soon after. Once you’ve got that you can use a lot of unconventional sand abusers. Heliolisk with Sand Veil, Sand Rush Stoutland, Lycanroc, and Sandslash, and Sand Force Dugtrio which is already incredibly fast. By the circus you can add Alakazam and Clefable to Pokemon to use. Rain actually gets a lot of early abusers. You can grab a good setter in Finneon before the first gym, and Goldeen gets Swift Swim as an ability. You can get Swift Swim Buizel from the Magma Gang quest, and of course Lotad, which far from useless is really good. Once you’ve beaten Shellybyou can grab a Beartic for a completely unconventional rain abuser. Later Armando is another solid rain abuser (better than Kabutops because the latter’s movepool is actual garbage). If you need an electric type then either Raichu or Jolteon can work. Or even Heliolisk since it gets Rain Dish. And you can just grab a Noivern for Hurricane spam before heading to the Circus. For sun, you don’t need Charizard Y. Castform’s the early setter, and you can grab a Bellsprout before Florinia for a Chlorophyll user. Plus Solar Power Charizard. Plus you can get a Deerling from the Forest Egg, and Vulpix from the Police Egg. Then grab Heliolisk (again) for another Solar Power Pokemon. After that things get worse since sun abusers are often meh even in sun, and grass is just not a great type in general, there aren’t Pokemon like Beartic or Armaldo that provide type variety. Hail isn’t very good at all IMO.

Reborn is looking for files named Game, Game_1, Game_2, and etc. The reason its not detecting the others is because they aren't named correctly. If you want to load up one of your old files you just rename it to one of those. Or grab the Game.rxdata from your old laptop and move it to the new one*. *For clarity, the file will only be called "Game". The .rxdata is the file type that the actual game uses for saves.

As someone who does troubleshooting, let me just interject DO NOT use debug to get yourself to certain points in the story unless you are extremely familiar with it. You will mess up flags, variables, and almost certainly end up with a busted save file.

IMO Mega Charizard is more likely. It would both benefit from the increased fire power on her field, and also leave Mega Salamence open to be Heather's ace.

So I know you've already been pointed somewhere, but do be aware that lack of money is something you're supposed to manage in the early game. And honestly its not that big a deal. You'll be rolling in cash by mid-game, and once you've gotten basic items you don't really need to spend a lot at once. Mostly you just keep up to day with medicine and stocked with poke-balls. I typically have more cash than I know what to do with by late game, even after spending literally hundreds of thousands on various extremely late-game things you can just pay for out of pocket to get access to stuff.

Paste this into the same folder you got that save from: Game.rxdata Make sure you overwrite or delete the old one so this one is loaded. You need to move column 3 of the right square up and the puzzle will be done.

That is your latest backup. The file you want doesn’t have the extra info afterward. It will just say Game

Here’s the instructions on how to find it: Once you have the file you want just drag and drop it into the add files option when you go to post.

If you want to upload your save file I can solve if for you. But the puzzle isn't really that difficult. Just follow a few simple rules. First, you want the squares to solve each one row by row, going down. So first you complete the top row of the first square. Then the second row, then the third. Only when the first square is complete should you move on to the next one. Second, You want to do most of your manipulation of position in the second square while you work on the first. What I mean by that is if you have the first row done you want to get the first number of the second row in place in the second square, then move that number into position on the first square. This is to avoid messing up what you've already worked on. Make sure that if you end up having to change ANYTHING in a solved row while manipulating the rest of the puzzle move that number back IMMEDIATELY when you can. Having to go back and correct something you've gotten out of place is a major time waster. Using that method you get one number at a time in place, and avoid messing things up. And critically, when you go to solve the rest of the puzzle you want it to look something like this: 294 672 753 159 618 834 You want to set it up like this because at the end you will end up with the bottom two numbers on the rightmost column switched, and getting them into the proper order is straightforward in this sort of configuration IIRC. Once you spend a bit of time playing with it you should get it pretty quickly. Actually implementing all of this is a bit time consuming though.

Why can’t you continue the game? Interacting with the totem isn’t required for anything.

Get sandstorm set up with something and let Excadrill go to town. It won’t solo the fight, but with do a ton of work.

It’s not correct. 0 EVs 10 IVs is just the default amount. It still being there just means no one has put in the correct values. All Pokemon are EV trained by Noel IIRC. But the Gauntlet Pokemon have had a nerf bat taken to their IVs I believe.

You don’t do anything with the old saves. Just download the updated game and run it.

Where are you in the game? They can be bought from the Game Corner before the second gym.

I don't know right off hand, but pretty much all the major battles do.

252 Evs in all their stats is the modification made to the Pulse2s. 31IVs in every stat is legal, just time consuming for real players. I have no idea if there are any Pokemon with illegal IVs. And no, there's no visual indication. There wouldn'tbe anyway, since setting all EVs to 252 isn't hard (even the player can do it if they can debug their Pokemon), but doing so as the player causes an overflow that will result in your Pokemon getting a bunch of EV points taken away from a state (possibly sending the total into the negatives, but I haven't personally done this so can't say for sure.)

There's only two places you have to check.

Eve tells you in Calcenon about it. The Pulse2 lets a Pokemon have maxed out EVs in every stat. So far the only Pulse2 Pokemon faced is Solaris's Garchomp in Agate City.

Cool. Espurr arrived on my end. Any issues?

Okay, its telling me that that username doesn't exist. Try sending me a request. Username wcv

I can. What's your username?

You can't change IVs, that's going to be a post-game thing with bottle caps like the main games*. But IVs aren't really super important, just don't settle for 0 in your relevant stats (I personally try to get above 15 in relevant stats personally). The fastest way to EV train most Pokemon is to grab the power items from the department store's 4th floor (So once you get two stickers, which is doable before Shelly), and then go fight the static Woobat encounters down in the underground. Set the game to Fast Forward (default is the left alt key), and turn off animations. Which means 63 Pokemon for all non-speed stats and 51 for speed. Unfortunately there's not really a faster option. *At least I think that's been said, but now I can't find it, so you might just not be able to change IVs at all. I know that in the past Ame's said she doesn't like the idea. But like I said, IVs aren't really super important since the effect on stats of say a 25 vs a 31 is a small 6 points.
