  1. Hot take: The Mirror Arena is a good field

      I didn't have as much trouble with Serra's field, but that was because I prepared extensively, I can imagine the gym being incredibly frustrating to someone looking to take it on with physical mons, but I can also see redeeming qualities about it. For one, it's the most flavorful field in the game, by far. It's so much Serra's field, and it's one of the effects that really takes center stage and adds character to what has historically been kind of a bland gym type. I also like how it boosts Hone Claws, making HC Night Slash Drapion a strat I really want to try sometime.

       

      Now, all that said, I never want to see it anywhere outside Serra's gym. If it was a surprise or digi-ame was less forthcoming with field info, I would have been a lot less accepting. It's also really limited in it's ability to be obnoxious by the type that it's tied to; if it was a bulkier type the battle would be a lot harder.

      lol.

      nah, worst field in the game. Easy fight but frankly I don't enjoy having to play an RNG game of whether my check to this +3 evasion, 100% crit rate behind Aurora Veil Pokemon can even do it's job properly without missing, taking a fourth of it's HP in damage and then being crit to death.

      I agree, the Mirror arena is a great field....

    Nice battle. Was worried for a moment there about the badge.

    I am completely unashamed about setting up and sweeping here. GG EZ badge.

    So before I started posting on here, I had a Reborn Wonderlocke going. I had just done the Yureyu raid to save the orphans and took a beating. Ezekiel and Quicksilver were the only survivors. I finally felt like building up a new team and continuing. Wish me luck! On to Serra now.

      i wish you good trades

  5. And with that, Madelis and the Volcanion go down without any real trouble. Honestly I expected more out that fight, but eh, guess I can't blame em for falling before my might.

      Oh nice. Shadow Mewtwo targeted me exclusively in my battle, meaning Keta had to finish the fight himself. It's such a crazy boss to have for level 25, but it totally works.

    2. Alazir

      It actually targeted exclusively Keta, so honestly it wasn't that big of a deal for me. Volcanion was the easuest Rift mon so far.

    3. doombotmecha

      Oh yeah as long as you don't use special attacks it goes down super easy. I wasted time paralyzing it, then 2ko'd it with Lycanroc.

       

      Yeah, that's just my luck. Whenever I have a partner, I always seem to end up as the focus target.

    My first true challenge! This guy took a few attempts and some grinding to the cap, but I managed to come out on top in the end. As I plan to continue doing on my romp through Aevium.

      Man, this guy really threw me for a loop; I'm glad you weren't as frustrated as I was. It's interesting how, in contrast to nearly every other leader across both reborn and rejuv, Keta lacks a gimmick. All he has over a mainline fighting gym leader is six pokemon and grass coverage. Thus, there's not really a lot to exploit, like there might be in Kiki or Samson's gyms. 

       

      Anyways, congrats, and have fun with the next segment; it really cemented my love of Rejuvenation's story.

  7. Oh yeah, Zetta and Galvantua got smacked. Zetta was down to the wire, Galvantua was actually really easy.

    1. doombotmecha

      doombotmecha

      Who did you use for the Galvantula fight? I've heard Geodude might be good, but outside of that or a Lycanroc i think that spread move/debuff spam can be a pain.

      Didn't even have either, Sleep Powder+Infestation just works wonders in there.

  8. Well, that dialogue with Nim, and honestly the whole battle, was just a bit "on the nose", so to speak. But maybe that's the point. Regardless, easy clap.

  9. Was that scientist supposed to be a boss? Alexa with Echoed Voice seems to think otherwise.

    So now I can get back to it, here's my team right out of Venam's gym. Thinking it's pretty good so far, let me know what you think!
    Also, that's only one Ttartube reference, the Buizel is named after a weasel from some story I read as a kid, but Wonga will live on in this playthrough!

    And it is done! Now on with the game I haven't seen yet. She was EZ by the way.

      So begins Chapter 2...

    I give. I'm taking this one. He'll be named when I find the Name Rater.

  13. I have been graciously informed that there are no lottery starters in Rejuvenation anymore, so I'm just going for shiny Cyndaquil now. Nonetheless, it eludes me. My luck with this is just terrible.

    1. Alazir

      If I don't get it in the next hour I'm just gonna go for a normal one, this is getting ridiculous. I was prepped for a long haul with the lottery, not for just a 1/100 shiny chance.

  14. I think I'm gonna give Rejuvenation another go. My only try so far was recent, and I got past Venam and not really any further before I lost interest. But I figure it's probably worth my time, so it's time for another round. HOWEVER. Before my playthrough actually begins, I will be SRing for my starter. There will be two acceptable outcomes. Either
    A: a shiny Cyndaquil
    or
    B: a rare lottery starter
    These are my terms for myself. It may be a while yet before I start posting about my playthrough because of this. Also I'll probably just post my starter and my victory against Venam for the beginning, as I already know everything that happens. That just about covers it. Wish me luck!

      jackpot starters were removed a couple versions ago since people resetting for them wasn't really what they were intended for, so I guess that answers that question?
      (cyndaquil is the cutest starter anyway)

    2. Alazir

      Alazir

      Huh, alright. Shiny Cynda here I come. Thanks!
