[Mono-Colour Run - Ruleset Help]

I agree, using them if they are going to qualify in the future is fair, but if the evolved form doesn't qualify you should probably only use the unevolved form.

[Help me evolve my charjabug because I'm still in early game]

I think they changed it in E19 so that the entirety of Shade's gym works for evolving Magneton/Nosepass/Charjabug so you might be fine.

[Does using any of the following pokemon from a trade early ruin difficulty?]

How early are we talking? Because all of them can technically be gotten relatively early (before your 6th badge). I can think of a few fights where Drought would be really strong, but for the most part I don't imagine that any of these 3 would make every single fight easy or anything, especially since after a certain point you get so many options that the game is hard enough regardless.

[Save Files]

That is the place where you pick the path yeah, but switching your save file doesn't let you choose where to start from and just goes from the beginning. However if you're able to find which of your backups is from right before that point and rename that file to "Game_2.rxdata" that should split it into 2 saves at the correct point. To do that, go to your save folder (shortcut to it found in the standard Reborn folder) copy the backup that you want to test and rename that copy to Game_2.rxdata, then check by swapping to file 2 ingame. If it's not the right save then you can delete the file you just made and try again with a different one, but the name of the original name of the file will tell you the location you were in when you saved so that should be a good starting point.

[Save Files]

Yep, don't even worry. If you hit the New Game button on the main menu it'll make a second file and cause an "Other Save Files" option to appear on the menu which lets you switch between them, and you can do as many as you want as far as I know.

[The golett in the tipi statue]

I think the only way besides loading a save is using 3 more dolls on the totem pole so it cycles back around.

[How to make Blissey hit harder?]

I concur with most of what the above person said. Special is definitely the way to go for Blissey and either Echoed Voice or Round is sure to do more than Take Down, plus Serene Grace Charge Beam is actually guaranteed to give a Special Attack boost every time so it's great for setting up. And you are right in thinking a Zoom Lens raises accuracy (20% if you moved after the target, which works for a tank like Blissey) as well as Wide Lens (straight 10% boost), they might've been thinking of the Scope Lens which raises your critical hit rate instead.

 

Also I think the term you're looking for is IV, not EV. EVs are the values from 0 to 252 for each stat (capped at 510 total) that you raise by defeating other Pokémon whereas IVs are the values from 0 to 31 in each stat that are determined when the Pokémon is generated.

[Pokémon that learns perish song?]

Another one that can be really useful is Murkrow, which if you SR enough for it you can get it with both Perish Song and Prankster. You can get it in the Aqua Gang Hideout during windy nights post-Shade, and if you're not in Aqua Gang then you should be able to get access to the hideout once you catch up on the gang sidequests.

[Adding in 'Mon's via game data]

I'm not that familiar with Rejuvenation, but if it's similar to how it is in Reborn then there might be a Debug Mode mod that would allow you to do things like add Pokémon.

[Reshiram Path Belrose Manse]

Nothing that early has an effect on whether you're on Reshiram or Zekrom. To be on Reshiram just make sure you don't fight Taka once you get to the Water Treatment Center. Though I would recommend stopping whichever of the two are trying go into the kitchen (which I think would be the Doctor in this situation).

[A question.]

Also there is plenty of postgame already, so you don't have to worry about that.

[Starter eggs]

15 minutes ago, ImSirius said:

I ended up hatching those beforehand, the Chespin egg I hatched by chance (I had it in my party a lot earlier on in the game so I hatched it for fun) and by the time I got the Torchic egg I knew about the quest

Ah yeah that makes sense, I guess you pretty much have to have been to Agate at that point.

[Starter eggs]

Apparently you can catch Decidueye much later, but that's not exactly an ideal solution so you'd probably be better off having someone trade them to you. Also, did you not have the same problem with the Torchic and Chespin eggs, or did you end up hatching those beforehand?

[Regional forms pokedex entries]

If you have both of them seen and at least one of them caught you can go over to the third page of the entry marked "Forms" and press confirm, which should allow you to select which you want to display in the dex.

[Possible to miss froakie?]

I think you do end up missing it in that scenario, yeah.

[Can't decide between mudkip and torchic]

I'd say Torchic is probably more worth it long term, but they're both pretty solid, and honestly long term your starter doesn't really matter a whole lot since you can eventually get other things to cover your bases.

[Which is better for the team?]

Any idea on when's the earliest I can get Metal Coat? I already have the Link Stone, so I just need to level up Scyther and get Metal Coat. I know you can get it from the Department Store, but I'm not sure how many stickers you need to get that

I believe there is one available around the 7th badge (in the depths of Tanzan Mountain if you are familiar with it)

[LF Poipole for dex, have shines and can trade back]

Oh I actually have no clue then

[LF Poipole for dex, have shines and can trade back]

You mean the dex quest in Agate? You don't need a Poipole for that, in fact Poipole can only be gotten after that quest is complete.

[Looking for Scyther.]

There's no Safari Zone in Reborn, but Scyther does require Rock Climb to get. I believe they are asking for somebody to help trade them one though.

[Why was Meloetta nerfed with the form change?]

I believe its so you don't have to run a mediocre special move on a physical attacker. Also what's stopping you from just running Secret Power on Pirouette form without the form change?

[Teknite Ridge Access Postgame?]

Erm you should be able to do both, take the train to the desert and get back to the desert through the Scrapyard. I'm not sure why it wouldn't let you do the former, but for the latter just go down the path you normally take to Titania's gym the first time you go there but instead of going up into the train car go down and you can get back to the greater Scrapyard area that exits to the rest of the desert. You could also take the teleporter from inside Europa's train car to Mirage Tower for simplicity's sake and just go all the way around, but that might take a little longer.

[Custom Character swap during an in-progress game]

If I'm not mistaken, it loads all the sprites and such each time you launch the game. So as long as the game isn't currently running there shouldn't be anything that would go wrong. I'm not an expert though so if you want to wait for someone more experienced in this topic to reply that's fine, but I think you should be ok.

Currently looking for Snubbull. is there anywhere else to get this mon aside the event at the beginning because i got Stufful and i was really hoping for a Sbubbul. 

 

Thank You

As far as I know, not until after the 13th badge, sorry

[Not bad for my first try against Julia]

A bit surprising your Marshtomp took that much damage with all those electric attacks. Was it from Sonic Boom and Air Cutter?
