Ultra Instinct isn't something that's strength based or need based. It's a state of mind that comes from letting your instincts take over everything you do. It allows you to act using only the energy needed to accomplish your goal. Dodging by millimeters, hitting only as hard as needed, etc. The other characters didn't do this because they weren't able to enter that state of mind due to one mental block or another. They all COULD given time, but it's an exceptionally difficult thing to do.

Also, if anyone sees any missing Pokemon or incorrect locations, please let me know and I will add them.

This is easily the most impressive run of this game I've seen. What resources are you using to find all of the Pokemon that are available?

I hadn't planned on it yet. I'm still missing some event Pokemon on this list, and the Z-Crystals / Memories aren't for Pokemon Locations. I included the Megastone locations because they affect monotype runs. Charizard X being available, for instance, means Charmander is available for Dragon mono runs. In the future, I may do another tab that's for items, but it's not on my list right for the next week or two.

Updated the following 1. Added all E17 and some E18 mega-stones 2. Created Filter Views for every monotype challenge run. Data -> Filter View 3. Added a few E18 event Pokemon that were not there previously 4. Added coloring to Gym Leader names to easily tell sections of the game at a glance 5. Added a filter for starter pokemon of an evolutionary tree 6. Add filter view for Pokemon that do not evolve 7. Added a column for the National Dex# for every Pokemon on the sheet

Actually, a couple of questions: 1. For Torchic, do you know where that Lvl. 95 battle is? 2. For Chikorita, do you know what's different to obtain it post-Neoreborn? 3. For Popplio, is it available pre-renovation of Coral Ward?

Thanks for the info! I'll update the google sheet.

E19 SPOILERS ARE IN THIS SHEET!!! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NmNBklcSI_OqWKMAaJ_WyqjBJ5J7lo3IuwTftIaJlIw/edit?usp=sharing Spoilers 1. Early game, E19 main, and post-game Pokemon locations 2. Post-game order of Legendary quests 3. Early game, E19 main, and post-game Location names 4. Password spoilers Included in this sheet 1. Every Pokemon is listed in order of first available. 2. All unique evolutions are documented on when they become available. 3. Encounters that disappear have their permanent location noted. 3. Post-game legendaries and ultra beasts are in order of their appearance. 4. Evolution stone and items are noted. 5. All Event Pokemon are specifically noted and always visible. 6. Filter Views available for some monotypes and for an unfiltered view of the sheet 7. General TM Locations available in second tab 8. All passwords and their effects available in the third tab Notes The E18 sheet had additional columns for second, third, fourth, etc. locations for mons. This sheet does away with that. The main view is filtered so that you only see the first time you see a Pokemon, the first permanent location for a Pokemon, and all event Pokemon. If you would like to see an unfiltered view of the sheet that shows all encounters available in each route, go to Data -> Filter Views -> Unfiltered. Special Thanks Ame for updating me whenever she made a change to the Encounter list or Event Pokemon. Ame, Azery, Crim, and Marcello for answering all of my off-hand questions whenever they came up. Specific shoutout to Azery for the sheer amount of answers he gave me. This would have taken so much longer without you. Cass for telling me how to use the EventExporter. This sheet wouldn't have been possible without it. enumag and ngoc for giving me a heads up on some mons I had gotten wrong.

Did you really just racism is a farce?

There are certain things that are good to remove because we recognize the racial sensitivities behind them. In your example, the Native American attack is a sensitive topic to Americans because of the genocide committed against the Native American people over the course of centuries. The United States, in particular, killed thousands of Native Americans and forced them from their homes. Carelessly using stereotypes for entertainment is insensitive because it sends the message "we don't care that we are turning something you consider culturally important into something entertaining for us". Imagine something from your culture that you consider very important. Now imagine another country tore through your people through disease and war and then took that piece of your culture and turned it into an entertainment piece. It's insulting, but you couldn't really do anything about it. We sometimes censor ourselves because we recognize the inherent wrongness in the act. It's sometimes a fine line, but you have to look at the history of the imagery to find context on why it's wrong.

Do you plan on having all of these at the start or adding them to your team as the story events happen?

What did you end up going with?

Do you have anywhere you can point me to on how to do the mod myself?

Looking to do a solorun and would prefer to not have the level cap on for it. Any mods for this?

One thing I haven't seen around here is sharing saves of interesting parties / challenge runs. I've tried a few challenge runs and have seen a lot of good ideas floating around but haven't had the chance to really try those. I've attached my favorite challenge run so far. I went to the List of Fully Evolved Pokemon by Base Stats page on Bulbapedia, and sorted from lowest to highest for each value. I took the Pokemon with the lowest value and noted it down. I did this for each stat, ignoring legendaries, wishiwashi, and duplicate Pokemon. It gave me this list: Shedinja Shuckle Blissey Mega Beedrill Sharpedo Pyukumuku This was my party. I have attached a save right before Aya (the earliest save I have after getting the full party together), and the challenge has been real. You can only use these six Pokemon, and they're all the worst at one specific thing. It's made for an interesting playthrough. Feel free to download the save and play it out and see how it went for you. I encourage anyone to share their interesting parties as well. Sharing these save files could help breathe new life into other people's experiences with Reborn, and it's always fun to talk about these things. 1182 - Yesper - 28h 1m - 4 badges.rxdata

Could I get a female Eevee and a female Shroomish? Don't are about IVs or nature. Just want them so I can breed them. Game.rxdata

Pyukumuku is surprisingly amazing. Soak/Toxic/Counter/Purify is an amazing set that can fuck up every team Reborn sends at you. Add in a Power Trick Shuckle and you're golden.

Thank you! I'm ready whenever you are.

Hey, hoping someone would be willing to trade me a female Shroomish. I've been wanting to play this game with my favorite Pokemon, but I've never gotten it in the mystery egg. Can anyone help me out?

True, but it is a fun team to fuck around with!

I was able to beat her, but here ya go. Have fun! 1169 - Yesper - 27h 37m - 4 badges.rxdata

Posted this a bit too soon. Beat her by walling her out. Thanks!

So I've been doing different challenge runs and decided on a new one that I wanted to try out. I am only allowed six Pokemon. Each of the six have the lowest stat for any given stat. If a Pokemon appears on the list twice (it's the lowest stat pokemon in Attack and Defense), go down the list until you hit the next unique Pokemon. Ignore Wishiwashi, Legendaries, and Mythics. Following the rules, we get these pokemon: Shedinja (HP) Shuckle (Attack) Blissey (Defense) Mega Beedrill (Special Attack) Sharpedo (Special Defense) Pyukumuku (Speed) None of these Pokemon are available from the beginning. I thought Weedle would be in the garden, but it's a bust. Since I wanted to use these Pokemon from the start, I decided to trade in a Nincada from someone on the forums. Nincada is the only Pokemon in this list that is a chance event, so I figured I had a 4/5 chance of trading him in anyway. I decided to do away with the frustration and bring him in first. The trouble with that is you don't get another available Pokemon until after the Tangrowth. You need the Warehouse Key to pick up Happiny, so until then, I was stuck with only a Nincada or Shedinja. Tough pickings. Turns out it is indeed doable. Now, looking at Shedinja's movepool, I hate it. I specifically hate that Nincada gets Dig at Lvl. 37 and I'd love for my Shedinja to have that move. Additionally, Julia packs moves that Shedinja is weak to, so I literally couldn't beat her with a Shedinja. I'd have to use Nincada until I got Blissey. Whoo. The game goes relatively smoothly until Julia. All of the trainers in the area go down to a combination of Sand Attack and Harden and then Scratch/Absorb/Fury Swipes. Even Fern goes down fairly easily because you can set up Hardens against his Budew and then Potion up and take hits from everything else. Nincada does fairly well in the sewage plant too, especially with Fern's help. It's smooth sailing until Julia. ---- Julia. I went into the fight with Julia initially at Level 20, hoping for some miracle. Thought maybe Mud Slap could be helpful. Nope. Turns out if you use Mud Slap again Plusle, Julia encores you and then switches to the Pom Pom Bird. Air Slash is instant kill, so no dice. Then I thought: Why not set up Harden against the Plusle and see how many hits I can tank from Air Slash. 2. The answer is 2. At +6 to Defense, a Level 20 Nincada can tank 2 hits from Air Slash. And I do maybe a 1/5th of Pom Pom Bird's HP per Fury Swipes. It ain't gunna work. But! My saving grace. Nincada learns Bide at Lvl 29. Perfect! I can tank two hits from Air Slash and then on the third hit, Bide would strike out and OHKO Pom Pom Bird. So I grinded against the Grand Hall trainer with my little Nincada to Lvl 29. Figured I could level him back down to Lvl 20 afterwards with Common Candies. Wrong. I got Bide. No real issue there. I forgot, however, that I had almost no money, and I'd need 9 Common Candies. I lost too often against the Grand Hall trainer, and I figured 'meh, let me just try with an over leveled Nincada'. It was painful. But I got the job done. Julia down. --- Scraggy Squad. I did not expect this group of Scraggy to give me so much trouble, but they forced me to grind until Level 37 for Dig. Yep. I grinded against the Grand Hall trainer with a disobedient Nincada until Lvl 37 to beat the Scraggy Squad. All for Dig. It... worked. I guess. I won, so I count that as it working. It took me an hour of resets, though, because using Dig gives Nincada twice as many chances to be disobedient and the Intimidate at the beginning of the fight caused a lot of issues. Eventually though, all of the Digs hit as intended and I beat them. After several hours of grinding and an hour of resets. --- Plusle Tangrowth Went down first try. Fucking pushover. --- Day Care Grunts Oh my fucking god I hate these two. Their Minior is immune to Dig! So I couldn't do a god damn thing against them. I had to resort to Bide tactics to take them down. Here's how the battle had to go: 1. Dig on the right-hand Pokemon 2. Dig on the second right-hand Pokemon 3. Dig on the left-hand Pokemon 4. Cut on Minior first turn 5. Get Confuse Ray'd 6. Use Bide 7. Rollout hits 8. Rollout hits 9. Bide hits You'd THINK that this would be simple. But Dig and Bide can have disobedience issues for each turn they're active. I needed to pass 10 disobience checks with 3 of those also needing to pass Confuse checks. I could fail about 4 of these disobedience checks before having to reset. Bide had to go through perfectly or I needed to reset. These two meteor grunts took me an hour and a half of resets. Oh my god. --- Training up a new Shedinja and Happiny The easy part! Yay! I have another party Pokemon! I wanted Shedinja to have Bug Bite and Dig on him for some type coverage. So I had to train another Nincada to 37 so both parents had Dig. I did cheat here and trained one up on another save file further along so it didn't take another 4 hours. There was no challenge in this, and I realized late that both parents needed to know Dig. I got Bug Bite from a Caterpie. It took a box and a half of Nincada eggs before I got one I considered decent enough of a Shedinja. I thought this would be easy. Defense, Sp Defense, and HP IVs could literally be anything. I'd just prefer a high Attack IV, decent Special Attack, and good Speed. Took WAY longer than anticipated. The Happiny I got on my first try. It's not perfect, but it had 4 perfect IVs and a decent nature, so I thanked the RNG gods and just moved on. No use wasting time. I then went back to my old pal the Grand Hall trainer and switched in a disobedient Nincada untill Shedinja and Blissey were to Lvl 25. Now I can go take on Fern and Florinia. We'll see how long that takes me. Here is my team as it stands: Shedinja (Naughty) Blissey (Calm) Old Mama Nincada (Gentle) I'll take more screenshots as I go. I wasn't sure if I'd get this far, so didn't expect to document it. But at this point I think people might be interested, so I figured out I'd document it out as I played.

I'm playing a challenge run where I only use Pokemon that have a baby pre-evolution. I was recently playing without access to an internet connection and ended up evolving my Azurill and Pikachu at poor times. Could my Azumarill be updated to replace Bubblebeam with Aqua Tail and could my Pikachu have Double Team replaced with Nasty Plot? I'd appreciate it. Game.rxdata

I've been trying to find any topics in this forum that show off a successfully completed Nuzlocke, but I can't seem to find any. Does anyone have any links?
