[The Team of a Newbie who semi-knows what he's doing (I actually don't.)]

One pokemon I'll recommend for mid-late game onwards is lycanroc.

Totally, I like Midnight Lycanroc. I'll hold off on a Lyc for now, I think I'm solid for the time being. I'll see if I can score a Rockruff via WonderTrade for later however, tho I don't have many pokeballs left to catch things to put in there.

[The Team of a Newbie who semi-knows what he's doing (I actually don't.)]

So, teambuilding is NOT my strong suit, especially when the game's as tough as Reborn.

So far, I'm at the Lv. 35 level cap. Been breezing through due to my WonderTrade luck, but that'll wear off easily.

The Team so far is super sketchy, but solid. Glass cannons, mostly

 

Clockworks, Murkrow Lv. 25 Hardy, Super Luck

Has Wing Attack, Night Shade, Assurance, and (VALUABLE) Perish Song

Perish Song is KING. If there's a bullshit level jump, I'll drop a Song and take the hits. Besides, Foul Play WILL be invaluable when I get it.

 

Gretchen, Glameow Lv. 27 Hardy, Own Tempo

Got Growl, Hypnosis, Feint Attack, Fury Swipes

Standard attacker of sorts, mostly an all-around innocent choice. She's put in some good work.

 

Amber, Primarina Lv. 34 Serious, Liquid Voice

Got Sparkling Aria, Aqua Jet, Bubble Beam, and Disarming Voice

My starter! Having a Fairy has helped BIG time against some of the early Fightings. Besides, that Sp. Attack is stellar for being a full evolution.

 

Matilde, Sneasel Lv. 34 Impish, Pickpocket

Has Slash, Feint Attack, Hone Claws, and Icicle Crash (Wondertrade 1. Also, Pickpocket negates the need for Thief and has gotten me a good starting-off supply of heals.)

Super good! Probably the primary team member currently, that Attack stat is crazy! Beat back the Flobot easily with her.

 

Rujurd, Lucario Lv. 34 Modest, Steadfast

Got Swords Dance, Aura Sphere, Meteor Mash, and Vacuum Wave (Wondertrade 2. He's my ace card sweeper-only, I pull him out when the cards are against me.)

My exclusive sweeper, I only send him out when the chips are down. Don't wanna just breeze through Reborn, so he's staying out of the limelight.

 

 

 

I don't have a solid sixth, but three solid Fires in the PC:

 

Brook, Ponyta Lv. 25 Quiet, Flash Fire

 

Foehammer, Growlithe Lv. 25 Docile, Justified

 

Maybelle, Numel Lv. 20 Quiet, Own Tempo

 

 

 

Ain't got much more than that that's worth mentioning YET, I'm grinding up some backups. I also have a Lv. 57 from WonderTrade chilling in the PC, a Delibird. I HAVE actually used it to swamp Fern. Once. Only Flying-type I've got 'sides what's below Lv. 10. Also found ONE Shiny, a Morelull. Only real bartering chip I have, 'sides Rujurd. Also, I got a Pachirisu, heard you could've gotten a Zigzagoon in that spot, I personally would've preferred that, Pickup's TOO valuable, and Pach isn't putting in the power I need short-term. With Linoone, it'd be better and I'd have Pickup for longer. Oh well, beggars can't be pickers. I do have the Reborn Ball from the Lottery (Thanks, Delibird's OT), but I'll be saving that for something I PERSONALLY won't pass up, like an Archeops or a Zapdos, something I'm familiar and strong with.

 

I'm off to a good start, but it's gonna get rougher. Might as well start some prepwork now, take advantage of the beginners' luck.

 

Also, I've only ever gotten ONE rainy day. That feels wrong to me.

[Hello, I'm brand new.]

Thanks for the kind words, it's real reassuring! Lemme just say, was not expecting the Poison guy to do what he did. WOW.  I shrieked! I'm enjoying this a LOT. Also, I'm out of money.

All in all, hoping this game gets crazy. [Oh, any bullcrap sudden level jumps to worry about? I don't wanna take a wrong turn and run into 70s with my crew of 35s. I'm surprised that this game's been kinda forgiving so far, my luck's prob gonna run dry at this Ghost guy my lads warned me about.]

 

[Hello, I'm brand new.]

Hi, I'm Ez. Ezlo Farcarver. I kinda stumbled here on the words of some friends on our Pokemon Uranium Steam chat, and DEAR GOD I didn't expect this game to be so strange.

 

[I just started the game, been binging it since Thursday, just got to the Lottery in the Lapis(?) Ward. This game's been crazy, and I'm thinking it's gonna get wilder.

Also, the WonderTrades I've gotten have been WILD since the start. So, as per my tradition, I traded away my starter immediately after getting my first wild and got a Riolu, traded the Pidgey and got my EXACT SAME starter back. And the Lottery? DAMN! I got the numbers matched on DAY 2. WTF, so I have a Master Ball (Or at least I think it's the equivalent of it, this Reborn Ball).

That's all just from my first week on this game (Or half week). I'm enjoying it.]

 

So I'm going in totally blind, any good tips besides being smart with my IVs/team members and such? And is it true the Shiny rate is nuts? I'm hooked on this ride for the forseeable future.

 

And, yeah, I can't say hi to save my life. I'm a total dweeb and a bit of a dumbass. Also, I GM tabletop boardgames, so I'm used to crazy worlds. And, finally, I'm the last Brony standing in my friendgroup (Fallout Equestria forever!) who also enjoys nuclear stuff.

 

I'm a mess. It's glorious.
