Faint

Never mind I'm an idiot - found the right way :) Loving the update so far!

Hi everyone! I've just finished my 3rd run of reborn since completion. First time I used a pretty generic team updating as I go, second time I used a trick room team, for the third I used a baton pass team. Wanting to start another runthrough - is there any particular team theme (or individual pokes) that you'd consider the most fun to use throughout? eg. I absolutely loved using Cinnico with a kings rock for my first playthrough, the thing was an absolute menace. And Ursaring for the trick room team went brr. TLDR: what pokes have you guys found the most fun to use? early and late game - can be whatever, I just want to see if there's anything different that I'm missing that is really worth trying :D

Shelley was the hardest in doubles because of the limited available pokes, the field buffs etc - took me a LOT of tries the first time I went through reborn to get past her For singles - I found Ciel way tougher than other people seemed to, but I think the toughest still remains to be Titania - with the field buffs and her crazy team, it's absolutely wild.

4 steps here: 1. incorporate trick room with amplified rock 2. give ursaring a flame orb and teach it crunch over shadow claw & protect over sweet scent 3. watch ursaring sweep literally everything in the entire game 4. there is no 4, ursaring won :)

Aqua because murkrow prankster perish song is the absolute best way to deal with annoying OP mons (solaris garchomp etc)

oh boy, if you think the gyms are tough at this stage then just wait until you get to ciel... or worse, titiana.... luckily luna is the next leader and she is pretty easy with whatever strat you want - but definitely make sure you've caught everything you need to before you go to agate cos the gym difficulty starts scaling up after that

this is seriously impressive, awesome work

In terms of strongest in-game pokes (based on what you can get earlier-on that remain strong throughout): Ciccino - this thing with skill link is utterly busted. The crest didn't really give it that much extra, but skill link + kings rock means anything it outspeeds it takes down Mamoswine - Early game EQ / Ice Shard are fantastic and it doesn't fall short at all in late game Typhlosion - Speedy Eruption go brr Milotic (Poison/Fairy variant) - You get this after 11 or so badges so a bit later, but remains great for the rest of the game Crest Bastiodon is definitely the strongest imo, but big shoutout to crest Delcatty/Beheeyem as well for late game shenanigans

Have you completed the Darkrai quest? If the answer is "yes", are you SURE you've completed the Darkrai quest?

Yeah Blaziken can basically carry the majority of tough fights for you. Get the mystery egg poke, and use whatever it is as a core with Blaziken. Other great pokes for long lasting in-game use are Golem, Cinnico (this thing is amazing w/ skill link - find it at level 4, common candy down to level 1, evolve with shiny stone - boom it learns bullet seed, tail slap, rock slide - carries through most battles). Donphan, Roserade, Ampharos (though this falls off hard later on), Emolga (up till Aya), Beautifly There are plenty of great pokes available early but above poster is right - Blaziken basically the only one that stays S-tier for the whole game

get over yourself.

wait so... it's likely tomorrow?! well, looks like I'm taking my laptop on holiday for pokemon reborn

The area right before Charlotte is full of rock types - just stock up, train up and use them to crush her. Wide guard is your best friend in this fight.

Yeah your analysis of the rejuve MC is way off. Trust me, finish v13 and then see what you think.

Just save up for 30AP as soon as you start the game and get the exp all - it's pretty easy to do (buying and selling antidotes, catching everything you come across..etc) - you can normally do it by just after the goldenwood forest route. That along with the exp trainers in half the towns make training new pokes quickly pretty easy

Numel is your friend and is just great for your whole playthrough, btw There's like 5 pokes you can catch at that point and one is basically good enough to solo Shiv after some grinding (admittedly need a tail slap miss) Get Numel, train it up, beat Shiv, profit #RolliBoiBestStarter #SphealWheels

I mean that doesn't stop it being fun as hell to use when you realize you can use it to trash ryland

Cinccino is available super early on and is useful for basically every battle in the game, often times being MVP. Definitely should be in your 8-10 staples. A-Milotic is crazy good mid-late game, but admittedly only available after badge 9. Crobat with Brave Bird is available early and is great for most of the game. Falls off a bit late game due to better pokes being available for the role (Staraptor, Braviery etc) but still wonderful for most of the game. Diggersby with Huge Power basically kills EVERYTHING. And you get Life Orb from a late same side quest... Pyukumuku gets you through otherwise impossible seeming battles alone so is necessary. Honestly loads of other mentions. Blaziken, Cinderance, Greninja, Mamoswine, Meowstic, Noivern, Swampert, Typhlosion, Donphan, Torkoal, Tangrowth, Amoongus, Sawk, Swoobat, Gastrodon, Butterfly, Beautifly, Cimeco, Primarna, Torterra, Golem, Magnezone, Talonflame, Mawille, Togedemaru, Torkoal, Scolipede, Arcanine, A-Muk.... all of which shine at different points in the game. I really could go on, as there are SO many great options and strategies to utilise and use in Rejuve.

achievements make it pretty easy to rack up as much AP as you'll ever need sweet scent plus 5/6 pickup users can get you to 100 pickup items in like half an hour, for example

For future reference, Castform is great vs Crawli as well - and you can get right before you face him

I'm just past it, honestly it has got worse than before and I wasn't prepared for it at all (forgot how difficult it was!) Jynx got taken down easily enough with frosslass/toxicroak combined (shadow sneak plus sucker punch) but god it got tough after that. had to rely on so many flinches and literally all of my healing items doing this without lycanrock or my own seeds was spiritually taxing :')

Are you using the mod pack from v12? Remove it from the data folder if so I found it was fine after downloading 13.1 patch and removed the mod pack

you can easily backup your save worst case though download the 13.1 patch and you should be able to access your pc

use erin's pokes, target the mamoswine side first (rotom rarely OHKOs you) beartic is the main threat tbh
