I just beat the flying gym which started ch13. According to the 100% guide I should go to the scholar district now, but it seems to still be blocked off to me. Is there something I am missing? I have already opened the box. Thanks EDIT: Figured it out. You have to enter from route 9. The city entrances don't work. Honestly did not remember there was even a route 9 entrance...

As it turns out you can leave the area. Just have to talk to the captain of the ship. So i did that and trained up a venasuar and espeon, it doesn't have magic bounce, but I can use capsules, I have like 4. Thanks for the suggestions.

1. Yeah I got the Bulbasaur egg. Will probably consider adding that. Hopefully it has good stats? 2. Can I actually get any of those Pokémon right now? I thought I was trapped on the island or is that not the case? Where is truck guy when you need him (I don't care if that doesn't make sense...) EDIT: Just found out that Yes, I can get back to the main city. Will take these into consideration. 3. Yeah Pyroar just feels bad, that's why I want to replace it with the doggo. Unfortunately I have to wait until it can learn blitz... 4. Espeon for Gothitelle is a interesting idea, but kinda makes me even more squishy. But, Espeon is just better. I do have most of those other mons tho. Thanks for the suggestions.

I already beat the 5th gym, the water one. First line bud lol. I will consider replacing oricorio with magneton, seems potentially useful. I had the same thought about Umbreon, but am not sure how good it will be without toxic. My vileplume has it, so I suppose I could still do toxic strategies. I also just got the growlith, so once it learns flare blitz (at lv 56 cause they want me to suffer) I can replace my fire type with that... Thanks for the suggestions!

EDIT: I have edited my team, thanks for any suggestions that were provided. New team is Espeon Greninja Venasaur Lycanroc Oricorio (to be replaced with Magnazone when it becomes avaliabel) Incinaroar I just beat the fifth gym in Rejuvenation and went onwards to the next part of the game. Then the fight on the bridge started to kick my teeth in. I did eventually manage to beat it, with a bit of changes to party order, use of sitrus berries and some luck. Note: I am also playing on set mode with no items allowed (normal difficulty too), so potion spamming is out of the question... Despite winning I have started to realize that some of my team is not really pulling their weight and I feel like my streak of winning without too much trouble will soon come to an end, if I don't change something up soon. Sorry in advance if I misspell Pokémon names. I am also playing on set mode with no items allowed (normal difficulty too), so potion spamming is out of the question... Team is Greninja (Protean) Sp.A and Speed Evs Vileplume Sp.A and HP Evs Lycranroc (Dusk) At and Speed Evs Oricorio (Electric) Sp.A and Speed Evs Pyroar Sp.A and Speed Evs Gothitelle Sp. A and Speed Evs (I think at least) Both Lycranroc and Pyroar seem to get blown up instantly. They are glass cannons to be sure, and they certainty CAN do stuff. But most of the time they just die and they are also impossible to switch into. I am not sure I want half my team to be glass cannons, but, maybe there is some way to make it work? Anyway, I can't really EV train quickly until I am able to return to the city, but I would appreciate suggestions, so that I can change things up when I get to that point. Note: I still have the Eevee that you get from the one quest, so it can turn into plenty of Pokemon... Again any help or suggestions on what to add to the crew would be appreciated! Thanks EDIT: Just got the Growlith, should be a good replacement for Pyroar eventually (need to wait until it learns flare blitz) so i guess Pyroar can stay until then maybe?

Okay the healing thing is pretty good to know, will try to keep as many as possible alive. I already switched rotom to fan form but I can try Wash. Paralyzing the opponents is interesting but my main strategy was to go discharge+EQ so I am not sure how much that will help. I think my rotom has a free slot one its move set tho, so I can try and add it. Lastly, I have actually decided to train up Volcorona since it seemed useful, am also training up a Tyranitar as my sandstorm setter instead of Hippowdon. The real question is how to deafet the Weville in fight two. Whatever I lead with in fight one needs to be able to beat it, and if they send in Gothiette(?) next then it has to beat that also (shadow tag). I was thinking of trying Tyranitar first and giving it the super effective resist fighting berry and maybe defense EVs but I am unsure if that will allow it to live a brick break... I could try Volcorona first I suppose, but then of course the focus sash Weaville is gonna get me, unless I get a lucky burn, with heat wave or flame body. Well, I got a lot of grinding to do before I can give it another shot. Thanks for the suggestions!

Well I went ahead and tried that and got to the third fight... you get healed in between fights one and two but not fight three, and of course they presumably have 12 Pokemon. After many attempts I got to fight three but lost turn 1. Don't really understand how beating that is possible. Any tips on how to play the fight. rather then just what to use? I have tried to Ddance Flygon but tons of the opponents have fairy moves so it seems really hard to even get Flygon set up, additionally the double battle nature often sees Flygon get hit by both enemies and die. Excadrill is somewhat easy to set up but eventually goes down too. The first fight isn't too much trouble anymore, Rotom+Any Ground Type does a lot of work and I have four on my team for this fight (Maybe that is too many?). Fight two is tricky all the Pokemon do tons of damage and outspeed most of my team, if I lead with Excadrill it wont have sandstorm up, and if I lead with anything other than Excadrill getting it to swords dance and not just get imploded is difficult, especially considering the opponents know sucker punch, meaning that even if I live the first hit, I sure wont be getting a chance to attack. I haven't seen much of the thrid fight since I only had two Pokemon left and my Flygon immediately eat a blizzard. So if you have any more tips it would be appreciated.

This seems impossible I cant even get past the first double battle and according to the wiki there are multiple fights after. Looking for help on building a team to beat this. Note: No Items + Set Mode, so I cant just spam full restores. Pokemon Rotom (ICE) 89 (Special+Speed) Discharge, Dark Pulse, Blizzard, Double Team Flygon 87 (attack+speed) Dragon Claw, Earthquake, Fly, D Dance Arcanine 86 (Attack+Speed) Flamethrower (RIP FLAME BLITZ), Close Combat, Xtreme Speed, Strength Swamert 88 (Attack+HP) Waterfall, Earthquake, Superpower, Rocksmash Metagross 86 (Attack+Speed) Meteor Mash, Zen Headbutt, Bullet Punch, Bulldoze Slyveon 86 (Pixalate)(HP+Defense) Hyper Voice, Quick attack, Light screen, Work up And in my box I have a lot of untrained stuff and a few trained mons Blissey (HP Defense) Excadrill (Attack Speed) Hippowdon (HP Defense?) Other useful mons includes; larvitar, larvesta, gastly, axew, gible. I probably want to remove Slyveon and Arcanine for this fight, since Slyveon will get annihilated by all the posion types and arcanine kinda sucks without blitz. Not sure what to add tho. Anyway, If you have any suggestions on a team that I should build to beat this I would love to hear em, because I am not coming even remotely close to beating this... since I have rock climb I can pretty much go anywhere.

Alright I will probably try to switch around my EVs again on Swampert. I personally think the Slyveon ones are fine, Slyveon has like no defense so the EVs are kinda needed there or it just gets demolished by any physical attack. As for Metagross Attack/Speed is what I went with. I went with Flygon for the fly Pokemon (attack/speed). Might consider an actual flying type if Flygon starts sucking. Would consider adding Garchomp now that it is available, but without earthquake I am unsure of how good it will be, also it cant fly so there is that too. Since I am at Titania now, my Arcanine is basically useless in this fight (due to the field) and my Slyveon is also dead weight. So Looks like I am definitely going to need to train some new Mons up. Gonna stick my head in the door to see how stuff goes before doing so. Thanks for the suggestions.

I recently beat Ciel and I can now go back to most of the region. During my time trapped in the carnival of hell, I realized that my team was kinda weak, like so weak that every boss encounter took like 30+ resets (to be fair I have banned items and am playing on set mode, but still...). SO I am looking for advice on reworking it. I have already picked out 5 pretty good to amazing Pokemon and would like suggestions on a 6th one, or if I should ditch any. The goal is to hopefully create a team that can beat the rest of them game, so I don't have to grind up/EV train more Pokemon. The team is Swampert, Attack/speed EV Arcanine, Attack/Speed EV Slyveon, HP/Defense EV and then I cut Cinncino (yes I really carried this through the entire game), Eelektross, and Mewostic (male) for the following Beldum (Metagross) Havent decided on EVs yet. Rotom (Ice, could change to grass maybe depends on what I need) Havent decided on EVs yet. I am looking for suggestions on the last Pokemon to add. I am think maybe Altaria or Flygon? I want something that can learn fly for convince at least. Would go with dragonite by I need rock climb for that... Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for any suggestions!

EDIT; Beat Terra. Blissey was pretty sweet in the fight. Minimize+Psych up (copy +6 Special attack/defense) was pretty nice. Blissey managed to kill like 3 of her mons by herself. I got very lucky to win, Garchamp missed a stone edge which let my Cinninco finish it off, then I managed to crit surf the sandcastle mon, I did no damage to hit otherwise, but crits ignoring status changes made the kill possible. Well poor Blissey is gonna get boxed after the hard carry, sadly, it will do no damage to anything since I don't have toxic :( Added Rules: Set Mode, no items in battle. This has made this very challenging and I am at a loss of how to beat Terra. Other bosses were a struggle for sure, but a bunch of extra attempts got me there. But terra seems impossible all her Pokémon tank so many of mines hits. I do basically no damage to Quagsire and the Sandcastle Pokémon, and Garchomp just tears me apart if I get there. Certainly doesn't help that my EV's are good awful, but I cant do much about that know since I cant get to the daycare... Team/Leader under hidden comment to save room.
