Ganolth Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Is it possible to breed solarbeam onto Cyndaquil in this game? I am extremely new to Pokemon breeding still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 With the current episode we are in, no it is not possible due to the game being up to date with Gen VI Breeding Mechanics. Also, for future reference, this thread will be quite helpful -> Breeding Guide / Recommendable Sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganolth Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 Do the Power Items work for breeding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etesian Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 In general, yes. But if we're talking about going back to an earlier episode for TM move breeding (for which the latest usable Episode is actually E13) then it depends on whether the Power Items already were in the game or not. I think those were only added later, so they should have no effect. But I could be wrong since I never mess with IVs, so put one on, fight something and see of they work, I guess? Btw, the guide Derpy Simon linked also has a link to E12 in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganolth Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 Thanks guys. I am just trying to make the beefiest Typhlosion possible. Is there a way to be able to use the episode 12 game with my current save data?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrromanis Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Yes, your save data can work with older episodes. But to save you from the trouble to go back in an episode for breeding solarbeam, cyndaquil can't learn solarbeam only typhlosion can! So it won't be passed as a tm egg move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganolth Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 That really sucks, now I need a 4th move for my Typhlosion. I have Flamethrower, Extrasensory, Smokescreen, and Swift. I don't really want to use another fire move, but I don't have many options in Reborn Any Suggestions? Nova has 31 S.Attack IVs, 252 S.Attack EVs, 27 Speed IVs, and 252 Speed EVs. Also if anyone was wondering Power bracelets for breeding work perfectly. I bet they won't give us the TM 22 until the last episode..

You have a Typhlosion but you're not running Eruption? I know Typhlosion learns Eruption naturally, but if you use a heart Scale, you can get it anytime. Since Typhlosion's natural coverage is terrible, i'd suggest >> "Sunny Day, Eruption, Flamethrower, Extrasensory" for now. Eruption destroys lives, Flamethrower for when Nova's health gets down, Extrasensory coverage and Sunny Day for that added power. This might the best you can get right now UNLESS you're willing to go breed in episode 13. But that's with Etesian, not me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etesian Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Welp, if coverage is what you're looking for, there's Hidden Power, that move that can be anything you'd ever want it to be (except for "stronger than 60 BP"). Anyways, you can take this and this and see what you'd like the most. With Fire and Psychic, Electric, Grass or Fighting hit the most things super-effectively, but something like Rock or Ground also gives good numbers...there's also the fact that Typhlosion cannot set up in any way, so you don't even have to go for perfect coverage, just go with something your team is lacking. And yes, definitely get Eruption, it's one of the main reasons to use Typhlosion for most people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking at the Gen 5 tm moves and the only thing I could think to breed onto a Cyndaquil is toxic because there are not many S.Attack moves that I would want. I like Eruption, but I want more diversity with my attacks. Cyndaquil has been my favorite starter since Silver came out, so I use it more out of Fandom then anything else. It feels weird using Sunny Day on Nova without Solarbeam. I keep Sunny Day on Venny for Chlorophyll, so it is up pretty much all the time. Unfortunately my Hidden Power would be bug type.

Etesian Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Even HP Bug is still coverage, it's something. And don't look at Gen 5 TM moves, E12 had Gen 6 TM moves, but Gen 5 breeding mechanics. You could go back to E10 or earlier to breed Gen 5 TM moves, but there's not much useful stuff back there. And for Eruption, it's still way stronger than Flamethrower at full health, and Typhlosion has so little bulk, it wouldn't be worth it to run Flamethrower over Eruption.

Etesian Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 In my opinion its the best fire mega evolution Oooookay? No mega evolutions were mentioned in this post and megas are currently unavailable in the game anyways. I think you may have posted in the wrong topic?
