EV and IV stuff go right over my head. I've tried to figure it out, but it just goes in one ear and out the other.

 

Also, I didn't realize ep19 had been released, so I just upgraded to get the passwords, and now I can't get past the first battle again. -_- The strategy I came up with before the update isn't working anymore.

 

I'm going to save a little time and list the pokemon I have in my box. Can train and evolve as needed.

Growlithe, Fennekin, Typhlosion, Magcargo, Ponyta, Swirlix

Cubone, Milotic, Trubbish, Clefairy, Castform, Kantonian Marowak

Dartrix, Pallosand, Purrloin, Steelix, Hoothoot, Corsola

Jellicent, Kantonian Grimer, Bronzong, Ralts, Alolan Vulpix, Vanillux

Bisharp, Geodude, Braviary, Weezing, Medicham, Archeops

Boldore, Ampharos, Abra, Swanna, Lickitung, Alolan Dugtrio

Misdreavus, Donphan, Abomasnow, Spiritomb, Mawile, Metagross

Gardevoir, Zebstrika, Alolan Exeggutor, Absol

 

Also open to finding something better if need be.

Okay...

I think that from your current team you should definitely keep Delphox. It has a decent moveset right now, but I'd have it learn Heat Wave from a tutor in Peridot Ward instead of Flamethrower so it hits both opponents in the Radomus/Serra battle. I'd also switch Dazzling Gleam for Will-O-Wisp if you have the TM for it, but if you do not, then fairy type coverage is still great especially against Luna. Mystical Flame is also an amazing move since it always lowers the targets Sp.Attack by one stage.

I think you should also keep Zoroark (it's my fav mon, i might be a little biased, but...). It has great potential for easy set up thanks to Illusion. I'd replace Low Sweep and Foul Play with Nasty Plot for set-up and Grass Knot/Thunderbolt for coverage. It doesn't always work, but it can definitely help you ace a few battles, maybe this Gauntlet of Hell is one of them.

From your box you could utilize the Alolan Vulpix. If it doesn't have Snow Warning as it's ability you can buy Ability Capsules at one of the stalls in Agate Circus. It could up your chances a fair bit if it set up Aurora Veil (that strat is insane, trust me). It also rocks attacks like Blizzard and Dazzling Gleam since they hit two targets in doubles. Having it learn something like Thunder Wave from a TM for additional support wouldn't hurt either.

If I were you I'd really pick up that Larvesta and evolve it onto Volcarona. That thing is an absolute beast when you let it use Quiver Dance one too many times and it can sweep whole teams. I lost count how many times it carried me through really hard battles in post-game. It even has a wiki page dedicated solely to the special Larvesta encounter and it isn't that hard to obtain though I recommend saving before trying to catch it, just to be safe. A perfect moveset for Volcarona is Quiver Dance (obviously), Heat Wave, Bug Buzz and Morning Sun/Sunny Day.

 

As for the EV/IV conondrum, I myself am not a scholar in this field (lol), but I think I understand enough to use it to my advantage. EVs can be gained from fighting different Pokemon which are worth from 1-3 EV points in a different stat (Defense, Speed etc.). Maximal value in one stat that you can gain by beating other mons is 255, and you can fully train only two stats for one Pokemon (so you can gain up to 510 for Pokemon). You can split the points between different stats, but they should be concentrated around the most crucial ones depending on the mon. For example:

For Zoroark you should have 252 EVs in Sp. Attack, 252 EVs in Speed and 4 EVs in HP (at least it's the build I used)

For a tank you'd have 252 in HP and Defense/Sp. Defence. Items called Reset Discs can be used to get read of already gained EVs.

 

If you really feel like you can't beat the Gauntlet you can watch strats on YT, there are a few videos where people use pretty rad strategies to beat that monstrosity. I hope I was at least a little helpful. And i'm sorry for my word vomit. Hope you manage to win this :3

 I had no idea the data chip was a thing, I'll take a look. It's nice to know my team will at least be healed between two and three.

 

I don't have a Blaziken, but I do have a level 85 Bisharp that might work.

Hard-cap will definitely come in handy. If you use it you won't need to worry about over-leveling between battles. I don't think Bisharp is the best idea (I don't remember if it has any set-up and sweep potential but I don't think so)
I'd recommend a Quiver Dance Volcarona (if you have one of course - if you don't I can tell you where it is obtainable). I'd switch it with Roserade, since, like RebornFan7 correctly said, it has a bad type match-up in 2/3 of the battles and is a glass cannon that'll mostly drag you down. If you have problems with grinding mons, then you could enable the in-game DebugMode to quickly level-up your desired team members.

Also, some of your pokemon have pretty average movesets that could definitely use some tweaking. It's mostly Physical fighters having Special moves and vice versa. If you want any advice about that just ask. Have you EV trained your team, btw?

[Second Crystal Puzzle]

I have a serious problem with the second crystal puzzle. I've been trying to solve it for at least 2 hours now and I'm still far from the answer. I don't know if I'm just a dummy and can't use my brain, or if it's an issue with the clues (they seem to be contradicting, at least for me), but I'm getting a bit desperate. Could someone help me out, please?

[Rejuvenation Characters MALE AND FEMALE]

4 hours ago, Ziggz said:

Lol I wish I could send you some, anyway those are just few characters you mentioned from the male side and they do not really showcase as much as average of the female characters, majority of the Male characters where portrayed weirdly in comparison to the females, plus the females you mentioned do not really fit the mold you classify them under 

What other male characters important to the plot/a major sidequest are there really? Well, we have:
- Vitus/Indriad, he is the main villain behind the scenes, a pretty mysterious character that got a lot of development from different angles (The Manor with Marianette, as a decent enough person in the past and then as a cultist 

Spoiler

and then in V13 during the Diamond Route where we found out how he perceives Servants (like Kanon). 

It's definitely not the last time we see him for sure. And, he is definitely not stupid even though he's got a lot of negative traits (he is a villain after all)
- Kanon, who got a lot of fleshing out in V13 and is still shaping up into an intresting and original character, he might act dumb sometimes, but he's the last character I'd call egoistical (at least in his true Servant persona)
- Kieran, we know almost nothing about him, except that he's 

Spoiler

an android version of Jean (I hope I wrote his name right) from an alternate world. 

He is a villain, so it's obvious that he's an egoistical and overall negative character (even though sometimes, at least for me, he's a little bit of a comic relief character, call me a weirdo all you like), but he's nothing but smart and sly. And 

Spoiler

considering the Bad Ending we might learn a lot more about him. And of course Rejuv's still got a few chapters 'till the end, so we'll see him again for sure.

I think that there are great male characters in Rejuv and I myself love Rejuv and it's my favourite Poke Fangame right after Deso. But everyone's allowed to have their own opinions and if you don't like how the characters are split, then that's fine for me. 

[[Possible Spoilers?] Gym 7 Help]

I would advise you to take a look at your Throh. It can know Wide Guard by level up, and since Angie's Sig Move is a move hitting two 'mons at once it will be pretty useful (I used it myself when fighting Angie on my last playthrough). From what I know Mr. Mime can also learn that. It seems you also have a M-Meowstic. If it has Prankster ability it would be really useful, because it's one of the best screen-setters there are. Since you're playing on Casual you can use healing items, so spamming Cosmic Power/healing items/Rock Polish on your Solrock might also be an answer. But I think you should try the Trick Room strat Gastronely suggested above first, it's much more foolproof than mine.

[The Status of Everyone (Spoiler Warning!)]

Imagine if its Huey LOL

If we were to think about it, there is a chance that it is Huey. We don't know his origins, not really. The only thing we got at the moment is that both him and Rune (then Freya) were the only survivors of the Miera Powerplant incident and that Rune/Freya somehow knew that Huey is very important. Also, during the Melia/Erin scene in the Blakeory Atheneum we get to read, that the only survivors of said incident were an agent from the International Police, Freya (Rune), and Lord Xenadin, the leader of the first Team Xen. So, there's a chance that Huey is Lord Xenadin. How did he get de-aged and lost his memories is another thing and a possible hole in the theory. But, in conclusion, there's a chance that Huey is not born of man, he has lost a loved one (Rune) and is possibly a part of the Light Prophecy.

[Future Locations?]

There's also Polioethal Forest in the south-east part of the Badlands. It's blocked off atm and there's really no theories about that location, so I'm pretty curious what is in plans for that area...

[The Status of Everyone (Spoiler Warning!)]

 

Quote

He did say this is a remote controlled body and his real one is in Xen HQ. I personally dont see a reason to doubt his words about then, Ren is still very much a human. 

He does have a reason to remain with team Xen though. He has seen a lot, had a change of perspective, and maybe team Xen's goals actually make sense to him now. Not to mention most likely he and Anastasia will be a thing and i bet you anything our Renny boy will do anything for love. 

But, isn't Nastasia like 50? I think their relationship is totally platonic if anything. But I must agree that we don't really have a reason to not belive him when he tells us that his real body is stored at the Xen HQ. I think that making Ren the villain might be a little to obvious, since even from the beginning he was a double agent (though it was Crescent who manipulated him into being one for her) and Reina didn't really have any bigger character development. 

Spoiler

We also can't forget that Cosmia and Comet (who work for Kieran and Clear, so by extension Madame X) have kidnapped and impersonated Ren and Reina's mother, Regina, (and Mosely too) during the events of the Diamond Route in V13. I bet it will have bigger impact during the Xen HQ raid. Who knows? Maybe one of the siblings will get blackmailed with their mother being a bargaining chip to disclose the info about the Xen HQ raid or something? Still, it's just a theory and I'm most probably wrong. Ignore my ramblings.

[Question About Venam fight and difficulty]

3 hours ago, Alkamare said:

Is the Mareanie Venam sends out suppose to always crit with venoshock?  I am playng on normal difficulty and it uses venoshock to crit me every time.  I cant get past it.

I'm pretty sure that one of the patches for V13 was supposed to remove Venoshock from Venam's Mareanie's moveset since people were complaining about the difficulty and the new level cap for the first gym (changed from 20 to 15, then to 18 in that one patch)?? The changelogs to the previous patches are unavailable now, so I might be wrong.
