Helia Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 How did you beat garchomp with that team? I needed some X-items to win Garchomp? Lol. Thanks to Garchomp my Mamoswine is in the PC now because Icicle Crash didn't do even 1/3d HP off of it. Surprisingly my Galvantula took care of it with Bug Buzz.

Lostelle Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 How did you beat garchomp with that team? I needed some X-items to win My save file is 2 years old, when I was 13, if I had the option to skip something (lose) I took it. Besides, I don't think X-Items worked back when I was at that point. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 It isn't totally impossible to run with just six Pokemon but it is a lot easier to run with MORE than six. My team For example: Greninja, Riachu, Arcanine, Bouffalant, Machamp, and Aggron. But along the way I had to replace quite a few of my pokemon in order to keep in. I also had a Linnone, Mighteyana, Dustox, Pidegot (BIRD JESUS, you'll see why later in the game), and Gourgeist. And even now I plan on replacing Riachu with Rotom and Bouffalant with Durddigon. My point being it is possible to run with one team but damn near impossible, especially against certain "boss" (for lack of a better term) battles.

Knight_Teutonic Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) I also use only six pokemon at a time, never more than that (rotation is time-consuming because of grinding). A good thing is to have a team with movesets for maximum coverage, because when you go to the elite 4, you won't be able to take your 20-strong pokemon legion with you. Only six.

deadpool848 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I have mostly stuck with the same team, but I did have to sub in some mons for a few battles, and overtime I replaced a few mons when I found ones I liked/wanted more. Hariyama got replaced by machamp, and emolga got replaced with magneton, but when I got to Aya, I had to sub in Solrock and emolga, as well as go catch and train up a quagsire, who has now earned his spot on my team, both for having great HP and SpDef IVs, and also for proving his worth by yawning everything in his path, and then spamming amnesia to just never die, giving him leftovers would be perfect, but still havent found the item. But after Aya, I returned to my usual team and havent had the need to sub in anyone yet. But I would say a good way to play this game is to keep 8-10 mons as your team, you will still have your 6 favorites, but if you have 2-4 other favorites as subs, you will not regret it.

Qaaz Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Ι think right now the only way to get Leftovers is to use Thief on someone's pokemon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berlyda Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Ι think right now the only way to get Leftovers is to use Thief on someone's pokemon I'm fairly certain Thief doesn't steal a trainer's item permanently as of Gen V. I haven't tested it in Reborn, but I presume Ame wouldn't make our lives easier by changing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostelle Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Yeah pretty sure it in fact does NOT work. I've seen people talk about it before and it used to be the case; but it was changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laggless01 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Garchomp? Lol. Thanks to Garchomp my Mamoswine is in the PC now because Icicle Crash didn't do even 1/3d HP off of it. Surprisingly my Galvantula took care of it with Bug Buzz. Not that one. The level 75 one. The other one is easier, of course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helia Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Not that one. The level 75 one. The other one is easier, of course... Wait, the one from Pyrous Mountain? Solaris'/Serius' Garchomp? You don't have to beat that one, the story just continues.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondon151 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) It's nowhere close to impossible. I have never ran anymore than 6 team members and I have completed the full release so far. I have never run any more than 2 team members plus HM slaves. That might change in a future episode, though.

I tried but I didn't want to spend money on Common Candies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Swordsman Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 So far I only had sub my starter (Samurott) in a few gym battles while replacing some pokemon I caught early on with Pokemon I like more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
