Official Gym Leader Help Thread

[RebornFan7]

It has common coverage with Yanmega, but you might want to keep it to spam Earthquake with Swampert in double battles. Lurantis is pretty slow and has a common weakness on fire with Escavalier, same as Yanmega. Lurantis also doesn't have any coverage moves. I would say one of these two. The second gym after Radomus is the fighting gym so you might want to keep Yanmega for that.

@RebornFan7 

 

Yo thank you so much, I finally beat him and Escavalier absolutely carried wiping out 4 of his pokemon. Thanks so much!

 

[Kooks]

I've recently started playing pokemon reborn and I'm chuffed that pokemon reborn presents an actual challenge compared to the actual franchised games. I actually didn't sweep a gym with one pokemon for the first time.

Bug type gym leader - Shelly's a tough one tho, and I've devised a strategy, which was to get a fighting type to use fake out on the Illumise to stop rain dance and then use a fire type to start the area fire field effect. Another thread with a guide helped, suggesting growlithe to also have a telluric seed and using an espurr (in my case I have a Meowstic) to use fake out. And then after wiping out illumise with flame burst, I would go ahead and spam fire type moves right? 

This is the tricky part. Shelly sends out araquanid, and that damned araquanid knows rain dance too. I can't do enough damage with my growlithe to araquanid or switch out meowstic with a flying type fast enough to one shot araquanid to stop the rain dance. 

Anorith also has rock slide which is sent out after masquerain dies to my fire type, and I can't use my hariyama because the majority of bug types are also flying types.
 

Please help I require assistance in bug type gym shelly, lapis ward.

[RebornFan7]

Take Prinplup and level it up to level 36. Then use a common candy to get it back to the level cap. Also teach it water pledge. Profit. Noibat is very weak, I'd recommend switching it out for Empoleon. If you don't mind grinding up a new pokemon, Seaking, found in the secret pool at Peridot ward if I recall correctly, can sweep this gym. But make sure it has swift swim for the ability. 

[Kooks]

thanks for replying to my long assed description of my position, you can defenitely see my desperation 


Wait I heard theres a rod you need to catch a seaking and the only rod I have is an old rod. what is the name of the rod and what do I require for its acquisition?

You can find it as Goldeen and yes the old rod is all you need to find it. You will need to fight a pokemon battle if you haven't already for the owner of the pool to let you inside.

[Kooks]

Okay update on the gym:
I have a level 35 empoleon with prinplup and water pledge
Seaking doesn't seem to sweep and rn it gets one shot by masquerein's grass type move
WAIT FUCK IM TYPING THIS AND I JUST REALISED I GRINDED SEAKING WITHOUT SWIM SWIFT ABILITY NO

Edit: Got a lvl 11 goldeen with swim swift :)) a bit demotivated after finding out 2 hours wasted leveling up my previous seaking, now named thanks to the name-rater "Failure"

Edited August 22, 2021 by Kooks

[RebornFan7]

Don't lead Seaking, its attack will fall due to intimidate. Also careful not to attack Anorith on the first turn it gets sent out as it will be protected due to its item.

thanks for these tips, and sorry to ask so much from you, but I recalled I required blue shards for water pledge. I've already found 1, if you can remember can you give me the locations of two others? I've searched everywhere and I've asked my friends for any locations but I cannot find any at all

I'm sorry I don't remember. It's a shame water pledge is a 80 power move in this game if I remember right.

alright in what order should I bring out my pokemon, I have lvl 33 seaking (with swim swift), lvl 35 hariyama, lvl 35 emolga,  lvl 35 empoleon,  lvl 35 bibarel, lvl 35 growlithe

Edit: LETS GO I BEAT THE GYM ty for the help, the seaking didn't do a damn thing and got one shot, absolutely adored the 4 hours of grinding for 2 seaking and finding out it was a waste, lets go

Edited August 22, 2021 by Kooks
UPDATE I BEAT SHELLY POG

[RebornFan7]

I would say start out with Growlithe and Empoleon and take out the Masquerain. The other pokemon will set up the rain for you.  The Yanmega is a danger for Seaking as it knows giga drain, and can out speed if left on the field for long, prioritize taking it out when you see it. Hariyama doesn't seem so useful here, use his turns to heal your other members. Lastly, if you are still having trouble, use the telluric shield (probably on Seaking, but Emolga seems okay too).

Congrats ! In case you didn't know yet you can use the ability capsule to change a pokemon's ability if you wish to, including hidden ones.

ALRIGHT NEXT GYM I NEED HELP sorry for asking so much from you guys

I have a level 39 toxicroak that knows sucker punch, I can put an X attack on it for that more dmg 
I'm struggling with mimikyu because yk... its mimikyu

I require assistance once more!
Info on pokemon above, haven't updated or caught any new pokemon except croagunk from corey

[Kooks]

Um bump I need help with gym leader Shade
I can one tap 3 of his pokemon with x attack + sucker punch from toxicroak, but I can do half health on doublade, and then defeat doublade using scrafty.

The mimkyu is the hardest part. In the guide it recommends nuzzle, which I replaced with another move because im an idiot, and also my friend suggested drifblim using ominous wind (because it raises all stats including speed) and my drifblim doesn't have ominous wind as well

You have a Growlithe, correct? So, I think it's good for Doublade since doublade is steel and ghost type. And, I recommend buying Cotton Candy from Sweet Co. Because it revives your fainted pokemon and you can revive toxicroak. And, try to convert the field to Factory Field so that his ghost type moves wont hv any effect. Hope this helps.

First of all, your mons are a bit underleveled, you can train them by fighting the grand hall trainers.

Regarding your party, I think it's not very good against poison types. I suggest using a swoobat (woobat from the underroot or underground railnet). Simple + Calm Mind, Confusion, Air Slash swoobat can easily sweep most of his mons. 

At lvl 32, charmeleon learns flame burst, you can use it as a last ditch effort, taking down one of his mons with you. I normally use it for crobat or skuntank.

Lastly, you can use delibird as a lead, stacking up some spikes to ease sweep from your other mons.
