shadow of mars

thanks for this, you are da real mvp do you happen to know if debug mode works on mobile with rejuv as well? Havent tried it myself yet

I really appreciate eveything you guys do, so thanks for that And out of curiosity, what are the chances we can get at least the hisuian starter evos on next update? I'm itching to start a brand new save on v13.5 with the possibility of evolving cyndaquil to typhlosion-h . Wouldn't even complain about the absence new move(s), just the mon itself with its stats, typing and rest of the movepool would be awesome

It's late but Mawile arguably is the best mega avaliable for now... was very useful on every battle of the latest chapter. And yes, although Mawile won't be *that* useful until then, I used one and Intimidate + the best type combination in the game really makes it go a long way as a support or counter to some specific pokemon. I used mine a lot (intense mode btw)

the best starter is objectively blaziken other good options include cinderace and rillaboom imo. Other options can be good at some point in the game but don't compare to the consistency of any of those.

ty, didn't know that, I only played the new chapter on my previous v12 save

Blaziken is probably still the best starter, Speed Boost (and Bulk Up) are just too good. Cinderace still takes a while to learn good moves and Greninja is even worse (still good tho) Like others have said, there's a couple of things you should always have a couple Intimidators is great (my favorites are Arcanine and Krookodile) Wide Guard comes is handy (my favorite is Hitmontop, also with Intimidate + good support movepool for doubles like Helping Hand) a Tailwind user (for me it's Noivern and/or Talonflame) Pokemon with Sturdy (Golem with Custap Berry also learns SR, Togedemaru with Reversal + Spiky Shield for doubles, Magnezone) Destiny Bond is also very useful (Gengar is the best probably)

Why do you think Starmie isn't a good option? It gets Hydro Pump, Psychic and Recover and is pretty fast. Pretty great for most of the game, not as good as a Greninja yeah, but close. Near the end of the game you also get the option to run Life Orb or Waterium-Z, as well as the Blizzard TM The problem with intense mode is that it's pretty hard to keep one single team of 6 mons, you'll eventually have to catch some stuff to counter other trainers - but since you like psychics, I suggest you get Alakazam (LO Magic Guard), Gardevoir (mega stone already accessible) and crested Claydol. Can't go wrong with Metagross (great vs. Melia's v13 Gym battle) as well.

This is a very cool post, and yes natures are very important But the reason some people may look down on your beautiful Zangoose is because a single speed point makes all the difference in pokemon (either you go first or you don't). That's diffent from atk/def where super effective moves usually do more than enough to OHKO/2HKO without perfect IVs. Yes she may be faster than an adamant/serious/whatever garchomp, but no one uses that. Pokemon is dominated by +speed natures and 252 evs on every pokemon that isn't a defensive wall, so in reality you are not outspeeding any garchomp and will get outspeed by things like +speed Rotom-A, Nidoking, Excadril etc. (and dying without accomplishing anything, instead of the other way around) with such a below average speed IV. Anyway, she's still faster than +speed base 80 pokemon, so she isn't terrible indeed :)

Same here, ever since 13.0.3

I'm fine with intense as is, with all the fields, items, switching and even the AI going over the 510 EV cap (since it can be "justified" by lore that they are just very strong pokemon, way above average). It's even better now in 13.0.3 as the devs are starting to realize that endless grinding isn't fun But multiple megas, with extra items, seems weird to me and start to feel less like a pokemon game. Idk, it's a weird and feels like cheating.

Yes, devs in this game lately have this bad habit of thinking that grinding for hours is fun

I love intense mode and I am actually fine with going over the 510 ev limit But things like multiple megas, with extra items to boot, are conceptually too far for me lol

You can buy infinite prism scales when you get enough stickers at the GDC mart to access the evo items floor I personally like Play Rough, Gunk Shot, Coil and Pain Split (or Rest maybe) @Leftovers. Ability either Poison Point or Defiant. You can basically setup on any fighting, grass or fairy type. Would be miles better with Recover but yeah idk why it doesn't learn it and that sucks major balls. Aevian Milotic is kinda mediocre/bad overall without reliable recovery. You can try some shenanigans with Merciless (adding Toxic/Toxic Spikes over Coil) but I don't think Milotic is fast or hits hard enough even with investiment, and dies too easily if you do invest on atk/speed.

You get access to it only after beating Adam (badge 13)

you have to change both the first and second numeral (if your IV is 07, change 0 -> 3 and then 7-> 1 you should update to v13.0.3 too, the price has been reduced to 50k
