Monochrome_Complex Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 It had an assault vest? That explains a lot. Terra's "gym" was pretty awesome though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mashonem Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 KiKi seemed a lot harder before Gen6 mechanics were introduced, Faries are unkind her team. Not sure how she is with her field effect in play, I beat her before it was introduced. That said, Samson still strikes me as the most objectionably easy; that field is just too easy to use against him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While some aspects of Kiki's field are useful to her (such as Meditate drastically raising Attack), the fact that 'Psychic' gets a boost is really unfortunate...

Monochrome_Complex Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Playing the game a 2nd playthrough I can definitely say Flobot is the easiest gym leader. Whereas I always lose against Julia at least once and it's easy for her to own your team with electrodedepending on the starter, flobot I beat first attempt both times and didn't even even use my starter. Unlike julia you're given a good amount of pokemon that can resist her attacks and cradily can easily be crippled via screech + fighting attacks or the almighty kricketune.if he's got momentum. Though to be fair when I did beat Julia it was with litleo alone, moxie man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagesSorrow Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Aya, Samson, Luna, Kiki, and Rodamus. All of these gym leaders haven't given me a problem when I faced them with my team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBD Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Julia I think Ame want Julia battle to be the easiest just because she want new player to think oh this game is gym leader is like a regular gym leader with full team then you let your guard down UNTIL FLORINIA!!! I stuck there and have to grind for day!(at that time I don't know about cheat engine speed hack) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moshe Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 As my team began to have troubles more towards the end - especially with Charlotte and Terra -, I can't really give a clear statement about them. I did however beat Luna and Serra without losing, but that's probably because of Infernape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monochrome_Complex Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I thought Blake was harder than Serra honestly. Julia is fine as she is, first gym leader who gets the player used to the mechanics and is as tough as she needs to be. Flobot though I don't get why people struggle with at least in EP14.. Cradily isn't even that strong, just tougher than the rest of her mons. Breloom is crippled by fliers and everybody else can be dealt with pretty easily.

That's probably because Blake has the weather advantage + field effect to create a 100% accurate Blizzard with increased chance to freeze.

Monochrome_Complex Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Yeah I would get down to his last 2 with like 5 mons left, he'd use blizzard with walrein and just freeze everybody. Lost the whole match to it alone TWICE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyroice Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I would say Luna, Noel and Terra. *gets behind some covers* It took fewer tries than the others to get the hang of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireflame Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Surprisingly Samson. But that was because I had Swords Dance Gallade and Swords Dance Hawlucha on my team, along with infernape. A close second would be the "most recent gym leader", because I didn't even have my best team with me after I defeated "that tough Pokemon" I just went in there and winged it, and after a long battle, i came out a winner.

netbean Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 After beating luna and not yet facing the next leader i must say every leader/battle i faced after kiki was easy for me. Easy = won with one try. My team was composed of 5 and not 6 pokemons: Arcanine, Yanmega, Gyarados, Mamoswine, Noivern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monochrome_Complex Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Again for those claiming easy, how many items/revives are we using during these matches? Revives are basically legalized cheating and of course the fight is easier when you're using 5 ultra potions on average(usually about the same amount the leader uses would be legit). Actually though Mamoswine seems incredible considering how many who say LOL EZ are using him on their team. Seems like a really good pokemon to use on a playthrough. Thing about arcanine is that I feel like you'd miss him easily playing blind.The growlithe officer is easy to miss since talking to growlithe intially only hints he's there and can make you think you're supposed to get down the hole somehow.

I found Mamoswine to be pretty lackluster actually, the poor sod just looks pretty and dies. : S Growlithe depends on how curious you are, i didn't have any issue finding the officers but a lot of people do not realize you should speak to NPCs more than once like the kid in the orphanage that talks about stabbing and gives you a rare candy after talking to him like 5 times.

Monochrome_Complex Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Cycling through repeated dialogue to get a different result though is just :/ I didn't even know about the stabby kid until now but 5 times is way too many if there's no indicator he's going to say anything different. With growlithe it's more the issue that the dialogue was misdirecting the player to do something they weren't supposed to and thus never activate growlithe's dialogue like they instinctively would. Even if you leave the room and speak to him again, he still doesn't move. Another thing, i actually never liked the idea of rescuing the officers making corey's fight harder. It should be the opposite, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claydoll Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 The dialogue does change, but nothing indicates it is going to change. In growlithe's case i feel that the pokemon has a hard time giving the player a sense of urgency so it may be easy to ignore after the first try. As for corey, it works either way since it's not uncommon for games to give you the "harder" or "true" version of the event after doing the side/secret stuff.

Exactly why I think Cotton Candies should not be present in Reborn (well at least not purchasable). Even the mainstream games doesn't allow us to buy Max Revives, so I found it odd that they were available in this game. I was kinda expecting a new sort of Revives that heal only up to 25% max HP.... because it's Reborn xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With enough revives you can beat any fight with any combination of pokemon regardless of their levels. if you just dump enough money into them, and it's pretty silly.

Jacobliterator Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I've only fought 7 gym leaders so far(8 if you count Corey) but Shelly was the easiest. Too many Bug/Flying types. Rock Blast was all I need. And Volbeat? REALLY?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
