Hi, late answer but I hope it can help:
- Roserade: this moveset is not ideal, with technician only boosting an almost useless move in HP steel. If you keep HP, go with Fire. I would go with Toxic Spikes/Toxic, Sludge Bomb, Giga Drain/Leaf Storm and HP fire/leech seed: With Giga Drain and Leech Seed you go more defensive, Leaf Storm and HP Fire for offensive
- Blaziken: Go for Sword Dance over Bulk Up when possible. I would go for HJK over Sky Uppercut for the extra power. Blaze Kick is fine but Flare Blitz gives more power: Great Mega evolution.
- Galvantula: You want Compounded Eyes + Thunder. No need for 2 bugs move so I´d go with Thunder/Bug Buzz/ Sticky Web + Energy Ball for coverage or Thunder wave for utility (but could be useless if you also run Toxic spikes)
- Spiritomb: Nasty Plot with no special move is a waste. Will-O-Wisp is super nice (but again could conflict with toxic). Sucker Punch and Shadow Sneak are decent to revenge kill. I have never used it so can´t say much more.
- Empoleon: no need for Agility if you have Aquq Jet + Stocky webs on. Replace with Waterfall for more powerful STAB or Earthquake for great coverage
- Flygon: Earthpower is a waste, replace with Rock Slide
Overall those changes should give you better coverage to carry you further.

"Hi Guys, I would like to get a Speed Boost Torchic, if someone could give me one I would appreciate it". That would be a better start... Apart from that, what's your IGN, I am online now and can give you one.

Hi Guys and Girls,
First of all, I might be a bit late but big thanks to Ame and the team for E19 !
I decided to try a Baton Pass team for a whole playthrough and would like some advices. I am currently past Noël, but I plan to keep this team to the end. I am using some mods so I could have items or moves earlier than expected, but the team i display is what I aim to have late game when every move/item is available. My main concern is the viability end game and what can be imroved.
Scolipede @ Black Sludge
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Def / 128 SpD
Jolly Nature
- Protect
- Baton Pass
- Swords Dance
- X-ScissorSpeed-Boost + Protect to guarantee at least +1. SD when possible; X-Scissor to have an answer to Taunt. Earthquake is a better coverage option probably, but then no answer to Fly (but I guess if I have to fight Flying with Scoli, I am dead anyway...)
Drifblim @ Leftovers
Ability: Aftermath
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Def / 128 SpD
Serious Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Baton Pass
- Stockpile
- Minimize
- Ominous WindBP +6 Eva with Minimize and +3 Def/SpD with Stockpile. Ominous Wind as STAB + lucky boost
Vaporeon @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Def / 128 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Baton Pass
- Acid Armor
- Substitute
- ScaldBP +6 Def with AA and a bulky Subsitute. Scald is always good to have.
Sylveon @ Leftovers
Ability: Pixilate
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Def / 128 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Baton Pass
- Wish
- Calm Mind
- Hyper VoiceBP Spe/SpD with CM + Wish passer. Can hit like a truck himself with Pixilate HV
Espeon @ Twisted Spoon
Ability: Magic Bounce
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Moonlight
- Dazzling Gleam
- Stored PowerFirst receiver, on the Special Side. Calm Mind if still needed, Moonlight make it pretty much immortal if some defensive boost were BP. Stored Power is STAB and also the most powerful damaging move of the game for a BP receiver, DG covers for Dark types.
Scrafty @ Black Belt
Ability: Moxie
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Drain Punch
- Crunch
- Poison JabSecond receiver, on the Physical Side. Appreciate SD from Scoli but can setup himself with DD. DP and Crunch are best STAB IMO and PJ covers for Fairies.
Later I think Mega Mawile should be stronger here, or Mega Medicham but I don't like to share the same weaknesses with Espeon. I read Lucario is also good in this spot but for some reason I have never been a fan.
I would like to know your opinion on the team and how good it would be to reach end game. Also if you have different or better options for a BP team I am curious to know what can be improved.
Thanks

Charlotte's wooping my ass and the only pokemon I have with rain dance is bronzong. Anyone got a level 65+ pokemon w rain dance?
Are you online now? I have a Ludicolo with Rain Dance / Icy Wind / Giga Drain / Scald if you want. It might get 1 shot before setting up though, so you could consider levelling a Pelipper with Drizzle.
Oh and also not sure water is the best answer for her field, something with Earthquake is probably a better answer (like Flyggon). Otherwise try to change the terrain as well to put water at advantage

The big TMs are available late-game because the game is meant to be hard and quite frankly, it's already pretty easy.
Adding Calm Mind to Sylveon makes it a powerhouse and able to sweep gyms almost solo, if not solo.
Adding Earthquake early would make so many Pokemon absolutely busted and able to sweep the game on their own. And it doesn't force you to run Flygon or Excadrill or any other. EQ isn't a necessity, quite far from it.
Or for example the Gourgeist with Will-o-Wisp. Did you add that before or after fighting Garchomp? How would the fight have looked without it?
But it's your playthrough! So just add the TMs or the moves you want. It's a private game afterall and it's meant to be played however you want it.
I've actually found a well rounded team to be a harder playthrough as the gyms are all mono-type you tend to rely on 1-2 mons every fight, and the rest can quickly become dead weight against certain gyms.
Anyways, it's a very solid team. As suggested already, I would look to replace Diggersby (as much as I love the rabbit) and Scrafty. They're pretty slow and require set-up to really function. Since you like set-ups, maybe make use of your Excadrill Sand Rush and get your hands on a Sandstorm setter. That'll do some serious work for you, especially when you start using Seeds to their potential.
Thanks for the feedback, that's time for Excadrill to shine then!
And thanks for respecting the way I play, even if it means "cheating" in the eyes of many. Yep, Gourgeist beat Garchomp with WoW, but I could have cheesed the fight with Murkrow or Carvanha anyway, so at least I had fun there!
I don't think we will ever agree on the TM availability, but in my opinion we should get them all at the circus. By then most of your mons are in the 60s which is were they get their full "natural" moveset (bar some of course). At this point you can have Excadrill, Diggersby or Swampert with EQ who are S tier in my eyes, so giving it to Nidoking for example would not break the game. But then it means you could also give it to Lucario or others to create OP monsters, so I get your point. Anyway it is just an example, does not make the game less enjoyable and I understand you can have a different opinion.

Hey,
Your team is full of (super) hard physical hitters, but you have no special attackers at all. That makes you very vulnerable to pokemon carrying Will-o-whisp or physical walls in general. So I would advise to use 1 slot for a strong special sweeper. My personal favorite is Porygon-Z with Nasty Plot/Recover/Tri Attack/Shadow Ball. Not the best per se, but almost no weakness, decent bulk and enough coverage to hit everything for at least neutral. I would also drop Tyrantrum for a pokemon having a more "support" role, but that's just because I like that in my teams, personnal preference (Vaporeon with wish+heal bell+scald could compliment very well your team IMO as it could tank on its on as well as helping your team with healing + remove status. Sylveon could have a similar role if you don't want to have 2 water types).
Have fun.

Ohh thanks for reminding me about excadrill, gonna need that for my charizard later since excadrill can remove stealth rock. The magnezone also seems nice since manetric doesnt have large coverage compare to magnezone.
I usually use bronzong for setting up trick room and screens, but gyro kinda looks interesting. Gonna EV train him after my metagross and lucario
If we are talking ingame only, then there is no real need to use rapid spin on Excadrill. I don't remember a single fight where stealth rock has been an issue, so you can use a better move instead. I would go with EQ, Iron Head, Rock Slide and for the last slot either SD/Hone Claws for set up (but Exca is actually not that great at setting up with mediocre bulk and no recovery) or X-Scissor/Poison Jab/Brick Break for coverage. Of course you can keep Rapid Spin there but again, I don't think it is that useful in game.

Thanks for the feedback. I like your idea of Hawlucha and Swampert. At the moment I am using set up mons because that's what Meowstic allows me to do, but I could also free that spot if I go with your recommendations. And maybe use Metagross or Alakazam instead.
Regarding Excadrill, I honestly find it a bit underwhelming in Reborn. Without a sand team, its speed is not that impressive and Diggersby actually hits harder thanks to huge power while being a bit bulkier and has access to a priority move. It is still a great pokemon don't get me wrong, but I'll wait for Swampert as you advise.

Already managed to past through this gauntlet and forgot how I did that xd. But at that time I don't have access for dazzling beam because I need to beat Adreinn for the TM. Luckily I am already at Adrienn figuring a strat on beating him, on the other hand, I am currently grinding some money and xp for some of my main team and that are low leveled fn especially lucario since I wanted another special attacker and swap out my hariyama for certain battles.
And these are some in my PC
I am planning to train my beldum and gardevior for swapping my alakazam for certain future battles, what u guys think?
If the team displayed is for the fight against Adrienn, then yes I would 100% advise to bench your Helmar, I really don´t see what it could do for you in the future. Remember, you can change Adrienn terrain to the fairy tale field that increases the power of steel moves. And steel wreaks fairies, so yep, go for that Metagross ASAP. It is overall strong anyway, so if you need physical damge use it, otherwise Gardevoir/Alakazam. And I think an Excadrill would be great for you there (don't remember if you can get one already). Otherwise, Magnezone is widely considered as one of the top pokemon in Reborn and would be great for your team and against Adrienn.
Alternatively, Crobat can be fun, you can blow away the mist and fully exploit the poison.

Hi All,
First of all, I wish you all season's greetings.
In hope to get the release of Ep.19 in the new year, I started a new run to put together a well rounded team that could go through the whole game. I have restarted 100 of playthroughs but now is time to reach the end game and stick there.
I just beat Noël and would like some advices on my current team and how to improve in the next few badges. FYI, I use some QoL mods and don´t mind using the debug to skip the annoying (IMO) breedings and EV training. I also used it to have access to some moves a bit earlier than expected (like I gave Hyper Voice to Sylveon when it learnt Moonblast, or Thunder Wave to Meowstic when it learnt Misty Terrain). And I changed starter and picked Porygon-z because why not? But don't recommend me a Moxie, EQ, Adamant Gyarados for the next fight against Radomus, that's not going to happen.
Thanks a lot.
Meowstic-M
Prankster - Bold - 252 HP /126 Def / 126 SpeD - Light Clay
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Psychic
- Thunder Wave / Misty Terrain
My main support. Honestly, before every fight I am like "I need to replace him", but he always proves me wrong. I used debug to give it TW earlier, but I alternate with Misty Terrain when needed.
Gourgeist
Insomnia - Impish - 252 HP /126 Def / 126 SpeD - Big Root
- Will o Whisp
- Leech Seed
- Phantom Force
- Seed Bomb / (Protect)
Physicall Wall of the team. This weird vegetable soloed Solaris Garchomp (under rain too and reflect but still not bad right?). Protect would give it its best competitive moveset, but in the meantime Seed Bomb stays useful and still hits decently hard
Sylveon
Pixelate - Bold - 252 HP /126 Def / 126 SpeD - Pixie Plate
- Hyper Voice
- Calm Mind
- Wish
- Heal Bell
Special Sponge that can also help as a Cleric or hit like a truck after few CM. I think eventually Clefable would fill the role better, but it is doing great so far. I run Heal Bell because I am playing with item off, so it saved my ass few times to be honest.
Diggersby
Huge Power - Adamant - 252 Att /252 Spe - Protective Pads
- Swords Dance
- Quick Attack
- Eartquake
- Iron Head
No more defensive pokemon, let´s talk about the heavy hitters now. Reflect/LS helps him to set up with SD and then it hits like a truck; EQ as main STAB, Quick Attack because I needed a priority move in the team and Iron Head because that's my only answer to fairies and has decent coverage
Scrafty
Moxie - Adamant - 252 Att / 252 Spe - Black Belt
- Dragon Dance
- Drain Punch
- Ice Punch / Thunder Punch / Fire Punch
- Crunch
Yes, Blaziken is not the only powerful chicken in this game. DD+Moxie makes it a really strong sweeper. Drain Punch might not be the most powerful but it helps setting up and goes well with Scrafty decent bulk. Crunch for STAB, elemental Punch depending on the coverage needed (I usually stick with Ice)
Porygon-Z
Adaptability - Modest - 252 SpA / 252 Spe - Silk Scraf
- Nasty Plot
- Recover
- Tri Attack
- Shadow Ball
After 2 physical sweepers, here is my special one. Very classic moveset that allows him to setup and sweep with full coverage. As you probably noticed, I used debug to give it Shadow Ball when it learnt Tri Attack.
BTW I just don't like the fact some TM are so late in the game, though I understand the devs point on that. But why no EQ TM when you have access to Flygon, Mamoswine or Excadrill (sometimes) so early? All it does is force you to play those mons instead of a physical Nido for example. But that's just my opinion.
That´s my main lineup. I have also fully trained Ludicolo, Excadrill, Stoutland, Spearow, Camerupt and Persian that I use form time to times depending on the needs.
If someone is willing to give me feedback on my team and how it would stand in the end game, that's much appreciated.

ah thnx a lot man, and while on topic, what is that yellow face thing under the symol of him being a male?
I am not 100% sure but I think it means it is infected by pokerus but can't spread it to the rest of your team. Pokemon with pokerus gain x2 EV training.

Hey, i have this shiny blaziken but i am a bit confused. Blaziken is a physical attacker and his stats are higher in physical atack rather special attack. Now both his IV is 31 in physical and special attack but 134 EV in physical and 92 in special BUT his special attack still is higher than his physical in total? is that a bugg or sometthing i am missing?
That's because of its nature. Bold nature gives it -10% Atk (see, the stat is hilighted in Blue, it means that's the decreased stat. In red the increased one). That's probably one of the worst you can have with Blaziken. You want to get Adamant instead and train him 6/252/252 in HP/Attack/Speed EV. There is a guy in 7th street that can randomly change the nature of your pokemon in exchange of a heart scale IIRC.
-
Overall my favorite combation would be Dragon/Steel, it resists nearly everything and can hit back hard

Thank you. Unfortunately i evolved that lotad to a lombre long way back. And it's a male i cannot breed it too to get another Lotad. Have to wait for end-game to catch another Lombre. Will try my luck with the Roselia/Roserade i have. Male meowstic has prankster ability.
Defensive pokemon option yes have to look for it. That mystery egg hatched into a starly. :(
Thanks a lot :)You can get a Ditto before Kiki's gym, in the factory where you go with Amaria Lapras. So not far from where you are. Or if you missed the puzzle there, you can buy it first time you go 7th street. Again long before the end game That will allow you to breed your males pokemon. And Male Meowstic with Prankster is the best you can have, give it reflect, light screen, psychic and mist (to change annoying fields effects, later I prefer Thunder Wave) and it can support your team. quite well
-
Also you can randomly get one by mining if I am not mistaken. Maybe abuse quick save and F12 next time you get a mining stone if you really need one.

Having a balanced team of 6 pokemon to cover the whole game is doable, even if training specific pokemon for specific fights might be more efficient. You could always bench the least useful for a specific gym and replace it with a more adapted one. Also I would suggest you to have a "backup" plan for some extremly difficult fight incoming (like the PULSE fights). Having a Murkrow with Perish song + Prankster for example will allow you to cheese those parts of the game (I hope the one you got had perish song as egg move...). Sharpedo with Focus Sash + Destrinity Bond is another possibility.
On your current team members, the 3 of them are weak to ground. Consider adding a flying pokemon. Like Noivern, but hard to train Noibat to level 48 or Crobat (can replace Drapion) when you can get one. I would also suggest to use a Male Meowstic with Prankster. To be able to use light screen and/or reflect would be super useful for Blaziken who is a fantistic sweeper, but has difficulty to set up without protect.
Mamoswine is a really good physical attacker, learning Earthquake naturally and you can also give it Ice Shard for a priority move (always useful to have at least one in your team) and has types who complement your team. You can aslo consider Ludicolo. Under rain, it is a very powerful special sweeper with again typing that complement your team. Also it resist ground and murders it with water and grass STAB. Just make sure you don't evolve Lotad before level 30 (or 36), for Giga Drain (or Energy Ball). And then Lombre until you get Hydro Pump lelel 44 (replace by Surf/Scald late game).
And finally, I would consider training a more defensive pokemon. Someone like Toxapex can really help your team on some fights with Toxic / Recover / Haze / Scald by stalling forever the opponent, creepling physical attackers and haze is super useful to prevent opponent setting up. That's a mystery egg pokemon though so check how to get it and hope you'll get lucky (Mandibuzz can fill the same role, another mystery egg reward possible). Later in the game, Clefable wuld be a good wall/staller option as well.
With a roster of 9-10 fully trained pokemon you will be able to have an answer to everything the game throws at you.
Hope it will help, good luck.

In fact I currently don't have much to deal with Water(although I don't have any weaknesses to it) just some coverage moves (Elemental Punches on Medicham and Thunder Fang in Granbull.. Even though I just caught a freaking Vikavolt at level 75in that garden in Peridot, just used a few Heart Scales(I have a lot from Pickup) to give it Tbolt, Bug Buzz, Air Slash and Agility, it also has pretty good IVs as well
I wanted to get a Magnezone for Amaria but I can't access the backroom of Shades gym to evolve my Magneton.. I will very surely get a Ninetales A with Freeze-Dry for her anyway
Just because Grass isn't really an option since every Water type and their moms gets Ice coverage
Galvantula could be a nice option as well. It is not really bulky but if you are lucky you can set up sticky web, which helps a lot to compensate the awful terrain effects. And with compound eyes, nearly 100% accuracy Thunder is no joke. Ampharos is bulky enough to be useful for this fight as well and hit decently hard. And my favorite Electric pokemon, Eelektross, has no weakness and can really be good with Acid Spray / Thunderbolt / Thunder Wave (last slot I run Flamethrower, but you can guess it won't be that useful here^^).

Where I obtain the egg? I am at Titania now
That was a long time ago then. You get it before Corey's fight, after you rescue 5 policemen on your way to Beryl. But that's not a guaranteed Togepi, only 1/18 chances. Other possibilities are listed in this article https://pokemon-reborn.fandom.com/wiki/Jasper_Ward

That looks like a good moveset even for using for the whole game
just replace Blizzard with Freeze-Dry(to kill some Gyarados, Swamperts etc) and last slot for moonblast
I agree with Moonblast in the last slot, but I think Blizzard should stay there if water is covered by other members of your team. With snow warning, you trigger hail and Blizzard has 100% accuracy in hail. Maybe swap for Amaria fight though.
And yeah, the icy fox is a nice team member through the whole game. I usually end up using Meowstic Male first and then A-Ninetales. I love having Scrafty with dragon dance and Volcarona with Quiver dance and Aurora Veil / Reflect / Light Screen for 8 turns help to set up and won me many fights.
-
Perfect ! Good luck !
By the way, maybe I shouldn't say that but you can use a mod to use all TMX with any pokemon without learning the move (still need the TM and the badge). That's a nice QoL and I don't thnk it is really considered cheating in the community. Helps to get rid of HM slaves.

Beating Noel
in On the Hunt
Posted
You can go back to the girl´s house (with the key in the train underground area) in Onyx Ward to teach previous learned moves to any pokemon if you want draining kiss on Comfey.
For Noel you want strong Fighting pokemon and Steel to deal with Clefabel/Swellow. Mawile with intimidate and iron head is decent despite its low BST. Klinklang can also sweep after a couple of boost from gear grind and can set-up against Minccino as it resist all of its attacks. Scrafty can also wreck everything with Moxie/Dragon Dance/High Jump Kick/Thunder Punch but requires some breeding. Prankster Meowstic with Charm halves opponent attack stat too so it could open an opportunity for another mon to set-up easily. Good luck.
