In Tanzan mountain, near the entrance to South Aventurine Woods, you can go right with your crystal keys and do a couple puzzles to get a Toxic Orb, Dhelmise, and some other things.

I don't usually post in forums, but wanted to cap off our adventure. Reborn is one of my favourite games of all time, and top Pokémon one. I didn't want to steamroll through all the new content at once, so I only finished the postgame yesterday. Played on set mode with no items used in battle, but in the end I couldn't clear the final Lin route gauntlet without full healing team for anomaly Arceus. First picture is E4+champion team, second picture is winning Lin route gauntlet team. I can't work out how to move them, so they're both at the bottom. Moves and items changed as needed for battles of course, but... Sheer Force Feraligatr - No dragon dance, decent bulk investment. My starter, of course. Prankster Meowstic M - I think this is a common pick, very useful screen setter and status spreader for enabling the team. Met him in a shack in Peridot. Compound Eyes Galvantula - Webs weren't as useful in this game as you'd think they'd be. Met him in a building in north Peridot. Early Bird Dodrio - Swords dance sweeping every single major battle for me, GOATdrio. Met him along the Beryl cliffside. Mega Banette - No destiny bond, spread will-o-wisps and came with gunk shot egg move. Met him in the Beryl cemetery. Skill Link Cinccino (*) - Avoided using king's rock in almost every battle, but there may have been some para flash flinch debauchery against pulse Arceus 1... Met her from an egg after Chrysolia forest. These 3 came about much later to help out. Prankster Whimsicott (*) - Full special investment blowing things up with mostly nature power, heinous damage from blessed field pixie plate priority judgement. Also solo defeated God. Met her from an egg when I decided I wanted more friends before Titania. Victory Star Victini - This thing was probably too OP to use, especially with the 50% damage boost in new world. Didn't do anything against anomaly Arceus though. Magician Hoopa-Confined (*) - Never unbound, it stops being cute. Only team member who doesn't get a photo reel below. To be fair, it was rarely very useful.

I’m going to assume there have been vocal and rude people harping on these points about difficulty, and that the arguing has happened for a while; because it’s very jarring as a casual player to be yelled at for enjoying the difficulty of the game…

Well that absolutely sucks. I don't really use the Discord or engage with the community much, so I don't how bad this supposed elitism problem was; but I still feel like this comes across as punishing everyone for the actions of the few. Fan mods have always existed so not sure that's any kind of stand in. That said, maintaining 3 difficulties being overwhelming and unfun is enough justification to reduce them. At least I have a normal mode save to continue.

Many thanks both!

Hi, was wondering if there's a mod (or something in game files or debug) that allows you to view enemy teams directly? I've been using the Wiki until now, but I've noticed several areas where what's on there doesn't match the game, particularly around EV spreads. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks all. I've done those things, and double checked the locations, but it's still not there (at any time of day). I think I must have battled and failed to catch it, and then got distracted by the story and not restarted. I don't remember that but I don't know what else it could be; there was a post suggesting that it disappears if you continue with the story without catching it but I don't see why that would be the case.

Is Akuwa Town still the final destination of Ditto? It's not there for me, even though I talked to the person at the graveyard. Does it need to be a certain time of day or something? Thanks in advance!
