Right, so, I just finished my first run through Reborn ever, I started in EP18, so I'm new to this. It's pretty damn good and quite the surprise, the last time I played Pokemon was on an emulator running through Yellow and then Silver for nostalgia, before that the last time I played was as a kid on my GBA, imagine my surprise in trying to figure out field effects and weather effects, haha. Imagine going from Silver that you can beat solely using your starter, to this. Ha.
An amazing game you've built here, I have to say.
I'm looking for ideas to build a team for the next episode to come.
So far, I have:
Moxie Salamence, EVs in Attack and Speed with Dragonium-Z and Adamant nature.
Dragon Claw
Dragon Dance
Stone Edge
Brick Break
This guy solo'd Hardy once Moxie got started. I'm currently running this moveset to sweep the dual trainers on Saturdays to train up new mons, works like a charm - Any improvement including items, natures and abilities are appreciated
Mold Breaker Excadrill. EVs in Attack and Speed with Jolly nature.
Not sure what item here, Earth Plate perhaps.
Swords Dance
Earthquake
Smart Strike
X-Scissor
I'll likely swap to Sand Rush to match with Tyranitar's Sand Stream.
I just got my Poipole (Thanks to some very friendly people helping me out with some harder to get mons and trading them - so far I'm liking your community here, you guys are great) from completing that quest and given how big that quest is, I'd like to run this guy in my team. Call me sentimental. Any advice on move-sets for this guy as I have never used him before?
Serene Grace Togekiss, EVs in SP.Atk and Speed, Timid nature - not sure what item to use.
Aura Sphere
Dazzling Gleam
Thunder Wave
Air Slash
Sand Stream Tyranitar, EVs in Atk and Speed.
Jolly Nature. Not sure about item.
Earthquake
Crunch
Dragon Dance
Rock Slide
I have all mons available and I'm looking for feedback on potential changes to these guys and on what else to use. I have no problem in EV training and levelling up something new, so use what ever mons are available in the game.
Also! when I've this team set up, I'm wanting to start a new run through while waiting for the next episode to come out. I want to try and build a team of 6-8 mons and solely use those for the run. Not looking to build up something overpowered, but rather an interesting strategy or good, solid coverage.
Keep in mind my limited knowledge of "newer" pokemons, I know Gen 1 and 2 by heart but anything after that, I'm not very well versed. Anyways, like I said, I'm still kind of new to actual team-building and strategizing as I've only played the first 2 Gens, as a kid. So I'm looking for an interesting strategy, mons as well as move-sets etc will be very much appreciated, and if you have the time, a little explanation of what the strategy is (I'm essentially asking for a 101 in building a strategy, so any information is very much appreciated). I used a Trick Room team for the majority of my first run through, which was fun for a while, so all I ask is that this is not a suggested strat.
Thanks!
