Relicanth in rock mono was useful Obscene physical bulk. Good damage from rock head, head smash. Can set up rain for kabutops or others. Anyone use farfetch, mothim, rapidash, ledian, furret, stantler, delcatty, tropics, watchdog?

Can someone explain the Indriad family clusterf*** ? I didnt understand how u came to your conclusion from v12

Try cherubi to use sunny day Then use sleep powder and growth with victreebel or gloom Probably can sweep

This is my first playthrough of Desolation. I saw all the bug types early and I picked venipede starter, so I decided bug monotype Little did i know, the first 2 gyms were going to destroy me. Whatever, I just beat the 2nd gym. I'm guessing hardest part is over.

Damn, I currently started a bug monotype run, without knowing first 2 gyms were fire flying. Could not beat the first 2 gyms without a EV training.

I would plan hard for the valerie battle. That one is going to be killer, but not impossible

How did you beat garbador

You can catch 11 grass types before 1st gym.

How many encounters can you catch in Gearen? I think this may be extremely difficult if you restrict encounters, especially late game in a monotype.

Chikorita is a good starter. Your level up move pool gives you access to dual screens, and other support options. Underrated IMO Name suggestion: El Chiko

I used Parasect to use rage powder. Rift Aelita got knocked out by Erin's Absol, while I was a punching bag. Knockout the rift golems with fairy attacks

You can get shedinja in the bushes near wispy tower. In intense mode kyogre has rock slide for shedinja. This thing was dead weight in intense mode imo

Amber was hard as f*** on my bug monotype intense mode No items No seeds Set mode No terrain moves Had to change the field with dig and surf in order to win.

This wasn't a particularly difficult fight. - Set up (quiver dance, bulk up etc.) - curse, burn, leech seed - perish song - screech, metal sound Straight up just attacking rift pokemom often is a poor strat

I have the same issue. How you fix this? Edit:fixed

I need that hard mode to fuck my shit up fam. I'm counting on it

Might cry when this game is finished. Incredible journey Best game bar none

Is there somewhere I can read the full story for rejuvenation? I've played through all of v12 but the story is pretty convoluted to me. Is there a summary to catch me up on all that has happened so far?

I have used a lot of different starters in many playthroughs. I was hard pressed to find a worse starter than froakie. - He has a terrible level up movepool - Mediocre stats and lack of power - Bad matchups early game - Dead weight until move relearner, when he finally becomes somewhat useful - Lack of synergy with available team members and terrains

The game is supposed to feel like real life and deals with complex themes. No time to sit and mourn, gotta grind and get the rest of your friends out of trouble.

How are terrain altering abilities being handled in V13? Any of those abilities pretty much invalidate most gym leader strategy with no setup required.

This isnt smogon. In rejuvenation in-game plays out way different than competitive. Otherwise you would see people spamming toxapex and skarmory to get through battles. Your examples make no sense: Volcarona is mystery egg, evolves at lvl 60, has no coverage moves, and gets anhihilated by the plethora of lycanrocs/other rock coverage moves throughout in game. Greninja, again, has no coverage moves, absolutre garbage lvl up movepool and does nothing until mid-late game, and can never sweep a team due to lack of boosts. How are you getting ice beam on greninja? There is no tm for it. Salamence? How the did you get that? Blaziken doesnt have moxie, so it cant sweep with impunity like gyara. Although this mon is broken Gyara should be made available at the same time you mention all those super powerful megas come out. So maybe like 15+ badges?

What did you start the rock mono with? Theres no rock types until you beat the garbador in the sewers. As for fire mono, it's very viable. You get a ton of variety before the first 2 gyms. Edit: let me check what you can do against val Farm pascho berries to lower damage of water moves, so you can take at least 1 hit. You can set up tailwind with Talonflame/oricorio and then just smash through most of her frail team. This is going to be hard, but i think its possible to win. Talonflame: Galewings acrobatics nuke Flareon: guts boosted facade Houndoom: Boosted thunderfang + destiny bond Rapidash: megahorn + hypnosis Blaziken: highjumpkick Also you can breed fennikin to get psychic terrain, and then fuck up val while thats up.

Keep Gyarados out until end game. No opponents can deal with Moxie + DD + 540bst + good lvl up movepool Gyara can 6-0 too many teams with 0 team support

You can get minior in chapter 6. You can access it on phasial cave after getting surf, and returning to gearan via Augustus
