  1. The shop inside Spinel museum sells some fossils but I don't remember Claw being one of them, or being available through puzzle games like many others. So you have 2 options: - save in front of a mining rock and soft reset till you get it, which can be tedious but is a sure-fire solution at any point in the game. - catch an Armaldo in Victory Road and breed it.
  2. Most events are one-time only (I believe the Blitzle one is), so you'll have to wait. Aside from legendaries and a few other exceptions, though, you will be able to catch multiples of almost any species in the wild later on, so don't worry if you screw up one of them. Still, it's best to save before static ones so you can retry, or soft-reset for better IVs, natures and abilities if you care about them.
  3. All berries should be available in the Department Store (if you can't get them yet, check on the above floors once you unlock them). You can buy a lot of them and they are pretty cheap, so farming isn't needed as you can simply restock, but if you still want to grow your own you can plant them in the spots inside the Woods on route 1 (pretty inconvenient though) or better yet later on in the ones inside the alleyways, after the City restoration.
  4. Yeah, those webs aren't related to Joltik, though you can catch Dewpider/Araquanid by fishing in the nearby pools. If you didn't get it in the blackout event, Joltik will be available post restoration (after 13th badge) in the grass in Peridot along with Galvantula. Adding to the above answer, for the lady to show up in 7th street you will need to have cleared Iolia Valley and gained the 9th badge already. As for Nyu, I am pretty sure he doesn't give away the megastones anymore, as they have both been moved in different places and can be found in the overworld.
  5. Hoothoot can be found in multiple places at night, like the grass right outside Grand Hall, inside Rhodochrine Jungle or even on the cliffs above Beryl Ward left of the gym. If you didn't get Espurr from the event, though, I am afraid it won't be available before North Obsidia Alleyway / Lapis Alleyway, both of which become accessible after beating the 3rd gym. If you are looking for a psychic type, I suggest you snag a Woobat (either in the Underground Railnet or in the Underroot) with the Simple ability. It's super good early game and can help a lot up to the 7th gym or so.
  6. Does anyone know if there's a way to get a second Type:Null in the postgame? Got the one from 7th street and evolved it already, but I'd like to grab a second one since I am going for a full living dex. Just OCD things, ya know.
  7. No problem! Fyi in my current run I also tried to get as many points as possible with everyone, but still gave priority to role-playing and staying in character... and that ended up fucking up my relationships with half the cast - including these two jerks - lmao. Still worth it if you ask me, though.
  8. Like Cobra mentioned in the spoiler, you have them mixed up: Zekrom route is triggered by battling him, Reshiram by choosing not to. I have yet to try out the Zekrom path in E19, but in previous ones you used to get a bit more lore about him, his family and Team Meteor in Reshiram's by talking to him in the desert if you let him come with you. He also gives additional lore about the places you visit with him in that section. Reshiram's route is also one of the many requirements for achieving the "secret" ending (which isn't inherently meant to be better or worse than the default one, it's just different). Also, while Reshiram route allowed you to just skip that battle in the past, now if you decline you will still have to fight someone else.
  9. You now get a +2 and an additional dialogue with Blake when rescuing the Smoochum in Citrine Mountain (think you have to do this before effectively meeting him in the main story). Then there's the one in Agate Circus mentioned by Jk, just speak to him after getting Surf. Don't know about the Obsidian Slums one though, I might have just missed it. For Elias, there's a possible point in one of Ace's dialogues (when asked in the Sanctum about family, pick "blood" for +1 with Elias and -1 with Ace, "loyalty" for the opposite result), and another one in the postgame (the first time you rematch him in a 2v1 battle, pick "I'm honored" for +1, "It's just a prank" for neutral and "Bow before me" for -1). Everything else should have stayed the same as in previous episodes.
  10. If you don't want to deal with the pickup RNG, I think you also get an additional one as a reward for the spirit hunting quest in Victory Road (along with a bunch of other good stuff), or you can straight up buy them from the Department Store Penthouse (40k a piece).
  11. They don't jump out of trees anymore apparently, now they are just regular encounters in the wasteland's grass.
  12. Go back to the Underroot in Rhodochrine Jungle once you have the Crystal Key from Luna's gym, there's a puzzle involving crystals, rock smash and cut in the upper right corner with the Axew egg as final prize.
  13. The north one if I recall right. It's definitely not in the Pyukumuku one, so you should look for the southern cave, which is accessed from a different area of the lake. It's smaller, you don't need blizzard to navigate it and it's basically a single room with 3/4 items lying around, including the readout.
  14. Still in Azurine Cave, maybe you are just checking the wrong one? There's one in the north and another in the south.
  15. They are available in the Nightclub in the postgame, you can trade BP for them. Not sure if there are other repeatable methods before the Elite 4, maybe the Obsidia Dept. Store sells them as well on higher floors? Haven't checked.
  16. It should have turned on another computer in the upper part of the dungeon (bottom right corner of one of the rooms). By interacting with that, you unlock a gate in the middle section that lets you explore further to the right and leads to a shortcut to Calcenon with some pretty cool items.
  17. No problem, couldn't really help out that much. I think you can also snipe up a Lapras in that big and dark underwater area, if you haven't caught one yet. Or it's in a similar zone you can access through a series of underwater passages. Be sure to pick up Sneasel and fish for a Feebas in the secret lake on 4F as well, and come back once you have rock climb to fish for Dratini in the one on B4F. Good hunting!
  18. Leftmost part of the jungle (check the IMG below): You don't actually need to go through Beryl Cave anymore like in previous episodes. Start from the bottom left entrance from Beryl Wardand go left, up and right, then go down from the house where the guy heals your team and loop around to the left again. Keep going, cross two bridges and you should eventually get there. If you don't see it spawning in that spot, move to a different ward, save, restart and go back again with sunny weather and it should be there.
  19. Can't remember the exact location but being available after Terra means it's 100% one of those that require using waterfall to get to it. Try to check all the paths inside the mountains that require you to go up or down a waterfall, follow them to each possible end and eventually you should come across it. Bring dive, strength, rock smash and obviously surf as well - if you are not playing with the HM password. Try starting from the different entrances (Ametrine, route 3, route 2 - upper left through Citrine, cascade, crustle shortcut in upper right, upper left in North Aventurine Woods) as each of them may lead to unique paths. One trick I usually use to know if I have already explored a certain path is to keep the itemfinder on registered and spam it wherever I travel, if there are hidden items it means I have yet to go through that specific area. Sorry if I can't be more specific but it's been a while and that whole area is pretty intricate to navigate.
  20. There's just something wholesome about Radomus, 100% my fave. Maybe 'cause I am starting to get old like him, but he actually got me misty-eyed a couple of times throughout the story. Noel is a close second, but I really like the majority of the cast.
  21. You can also get an earlier one in Obsidia Slums if you haven't been to the Orphanage yet. As soon as you beat the 3rd PULSE-Tangrowth, go back to the Slums and you should find a familiar face inside, near the left entrance. This event becomes unavailable once you meet him through the story in Lapis Ward, though.
  22. Don't know if you are still stuck but I'll leave some suggestions in case anyone else needs help with this part, since it's one of my favorites in the whole game and after a bunch of trial and error I feel like I got it down to a T. General tips: The team I used: Detailed game plan: Well, that was an essay. Hope it helps.
  23. Unless her movesets have been updated in E19, Amaria autoloses from Shedinja as soon as you take out her Swampert in singles and her Vaporeon in doubles, as they are the only ones that can touch it. You can get a Nincada by smashing rocks in the Byxbysion Wasteland. Edit: as for the team and general suggestions, considering Hydreigon as a starter instead of Togekiss, I think Rotom-mow in place of Heracross would give you the most utility: grass+electric coverage to fix water match-ups, will o wisp support against physical attackers, screens for defense, thunder wave/electroweb for speed control. Also, if you switch to the sand team you mentioned or pair it with any ground type, you can spam the classic discharge+earthquake in doubles since it has levitate. You can get it right after Luna from the room in the back of Shade's Gym and change its form once you get to Ametrine City, in one of the houses.
  24. As mentioned above, Blaziken is straight up busted. Absolutely give it protect to get a free speed boost, that's actually its most important move, along with hi-jump kick and flare blitz for stabs. For the 4th slot, I actually think that swords dance is much better than bulk up, since a +1 in defense won't make any difference against most if not all SE hits, and it's unlikely you'll last long enough to set up multiples in a row, unless you plan to spam potions. Power up punch does the same thing with the added benefit of breaking sturdies/focus sashes. Brick break is another cool tech for fights where the opponent spams aurora veil/screens. Since all of these are TMs, you can just swap them around as you need. For items anything works: stab plates/charcoal/black belt, muscle band, expert belt, wide lens to avoid missing HJK, shell bell to recover a bit after flare blitz, Firium-Z... Just don't waste the mega stone on it, it already has speed boost, so save it for something else. For A-Muk those moves are good, if it has gluttony you can also try recycle + a 50% health berry as its held item for continuous recovery. Otherwise the most obvious choice is probably black sludge/leftovers. I also agree that Ludicolo is pretty average outside of rain (and rain conflicts with Blaziken), but if you are dead set on using it consider keeping fake out (amazing for doubles, free chip in singles) and nature power - unironically the most unique and versatile move in Reborn, it can turn around multiple gym battles on its own. As for items, either Waterium-Z, damp rock if you plan to set up rain dance on your own, or assault vest if you are only running attacking moves (which would mean no rain dance or nature power though). As for complimentary members, since Ludicolo+Blaziken is basically a FWG core on its own, you could add a fantasy one (fairy/dragon/steel). Gardevoir+Magnezone+Hydreigon is one of the best ones and has crazy good sinergy with Blaziken as well, although most people dislike it because it's too mainstream. Unfortunately all of these - especially Deino - are available pretty late. For early game, one of my favorites is simple Swoobat with calm mind. In your case, free switch in on Blaziken and Muk against ground attacks. Sturdy Aggron carries hard in the mid game and you can get it before the 6th badge, 4x resist on flying and resist on psychic also works well for pivoting from Blaziken. If you drop Ludicolo, or don't mind having two water types on the squad, storm drain Gastrodon is another amazing pick for the mid game. These three basically cover all of your chicken problems, and he can just destroy anything else.
  25. - AV Swampert (either starter or from the Azurine Lake event before Adrienn) walls any special threat barring grass-types and hits back like a brick. - Before that, you can get a Gastrodon as soon as Kiki - same typing, more utility with storm drain, gets recover too. - Another amazing mon for the midgame is Aggron (now available in the Railnet before Serra, which I think is earlier than before). Bonus points for cheesing lots of fights with sturdy + metal burst. - Ampharos is pretty good as well in early to mid game, and gets power gem naturally via level up which is required to solve some optional environmental puzzles. - Gogoat is very fun to use and underrated as hell. Crazy switch in sinergy with the two water/grounds metioned above thanks to sap sipper, it can set up with bulk up, recover with milk drink and horn leech, slow down opponents with bulldoze... And it's a friggin' goat. All of these are slower and tankier options that can usually take one or two hits and retaliate, I've tried them all at different points on my current run and they all delivered. If you run trick room, they can also act as sweepers against fast hyper offense AI. Having said that, if you are looking for a pure wall or something more stally, just go for the classics like Blissey, Clefable, Cradily.
