As before, i think you need a quagsire just for Lanturn. That pokemon could potientfully sweep your team, and quagsire is perfect counter with learing earthquake in level 36.

The field effect doesn't allow ground type moves at all, Quagsire isn't great against Valarie. I made one based on this post as well, just to find that out :P

Too many of her Pokemon have Ice Beam, all of which outspeed Gloom(they most likely still would even without the speed reduction from the field effect), for that to really be a viable option. I'm playing on Intense, btw. I ended up having to cheese it, unfortunately. I had a large supply of MooMoo Milk, so I used them to Toxistall her team. Normally I would just find good counters and EV train them up, but EV training isn't an option at the part of the game.

Your team isnt too bad tbh, Drop the 2 fire types you have in your party, pick up nuzleaf if you have a leaf stone, if not then just pick up Gothita and Yamask, since their evos are pretty bulky. Ampharos and Twave should help you out a lot as well. If you have a ability capsule, change Toxicroak's ability to dry skin, so it is immune to water moves. Also make sure you train everyone up to at least 44-45, you can battle the breeder for exp. Another thing you could do is catch a Dustox from the grass area, It gets Toxic and Light screen, so that could help you out as well.

What specific attacks should I use for Shiftry then? Special or Physical (since it is a docile nature).

What specific attacks should I use for Shiftry then? Special or Physical (since it is a docile nature).

Since a docile nature has no effect on the base stats whatsoever, it doesn't really matter what's a better option, you just gotta look at the base stats. Shiftry has a higher base Attack stat (100), so physical would be a better choice, although its special attack stat isn't that bad either (90). Both would work, although attack better than sp. attack at least c:

It learns extrasensory as a Nuzleaf at level 49 (which it doesn't as a Shiftry), so maybe you can take that one as well. Aside from that, it also learns Leaf Storm and a few grass attacks that might be useful, but you're better off by looking into what moves it can learn by TM. I'd keep the list with available TM's in Rejuvenation next to it while you decide on a moveset for Shiftry.

This maybe slightly off the topic but I kinda skipped the 3rd gym. Faced no issues until I had to use surf for the first time in terajuma jungle.. It tells me I need a new badge. I'm stuck! Can't go back either :(

Notice the post i made was from may. The field effect was less powerful and ground moves worked.

So a mistake from you.

There's a Lombre on the Wispy Path; Substitute Emolga with it, evolve it in to Ludicolo; Nature Power along with Ludicolo's general bulkiness should give you the ability to wipe most of her team, pack a few potions and maybe a revive/funnel cake if need be.

Ludicolo swept the majority of her team, barring Gengar by itself; if need be you could go back to the tutor and reteach Dusclops Shadow Sneak if you have a Heart Scale, that priority will give you an edge on Gengar. Though, the benefits of Shadow Punch might outweigh it,

Another tip, level up Dusclops one more level and it learns Hex; with Will-O-Wisp it will help having a 130 base + STAB attack with a field bonus.

But, with Ludicolo's Nature Power and Dusclops knowing Hex; you should be able to wipe the floor with her.

Aside from that, your entire team should be at least level 39; once Camerupt is up to par it can potentially sweep a good portion of her team; that and Yawn is a boon when it learns it at level 39.

It's an event so you'll need a Gourmet Treat; but Ludicolo was surprisingly effective due to Nature Power. While you're going along the lower portion it should be next to the lake just up the stairs.

Drop Quagsire, Altaria, and Floatzel, and Add Snover, Garbodor, and Exploud. Train snover into Abomasnow so you will have a nice grass type with you when you fight her. Garbodor sets up tspike and poisons her whole team, I dont think she has a tentacruel iirc. Exploud hits hard with Upraor and is bulky enough to at least live one or two hits.

Hello, this isn't to do with gym help but I don't know where else to put this, but where do I go after defeating kyogre? Been searching for hours and nothing has happened, not even a hint, the only thing I've got is the shadow he key, is that where I go? If so how do I get there?

This would probably be a better place to post for future reference: http://www.pokemonreborn.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=13886

Anyway, go north of Kakori Village, use Lava Surf on the lava you couldn't get past before, and continue from there. A tough boss fight is coming up~
