Dragon116 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Wow Terra-Seel in one day. That was a lot of posts to read. Good job beating Seel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Dang I didn't think you'd have so much trouble since you plowed through the rest of the game. Anyways congrats...and part of me kind of enjoyed seeing you struggle after koing leader after leader so easily (and yeah she is getting a little revamp after I reach her). I'm still stuck at Samson though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiroki Tatsumi Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Well , the last part is really quick because of the lacking scenario, there isn't any new place to discover starting from Blake in Ametrine, so that was easily done St3ffo, dont worry i'm still looking for your runs, and i'm having another idea in mind, i think you'll like aswell, but for now, that's the consecration of the run ingoing Final rock to Smash : Congratulations, too much punching, my fists are blue ! Well, that was a great adventure. I loved the whole game, doing this with fighting types was a good challenge and it opened paths in my Pokemon knowledge. Normal is still my favourite type, but i found lot of pokemons i underestimated. However, i tried to make a Showdown fighting type, but sadly most of the fighting types relevant in simulator are those legendaries. So well, that's not cool. While hardcore earned its name during the first part of the game. It lost the attracting side with the more badges coming. We have an access to a good variety of pokemons starting from Serra, and that's a shame Gym leaders didn't follow the path of hardcore. Either i was too much prepared or that was too easy, but except for megas and boss battles, i didnt feel anything harder than a regular reborn run. To start i'll answer common questions about the run Most annoying pokemon in the run : Noivern. Having to turn my Hawlucha to an Anti Noivern is unfair. Easiest gym Battle : Luna, Commander denies it, but a single pokemon sweeping a whole team in reborn Hardcore shouldn't happen. Luna is ridiculous. Hardest gym Battle : Corey, 30 times to take it down. Most annoying pokemon to find : Heracross, route 1 Puzzle is ridiculous. Most annoying pokemon to train : Korrina, and that wasn't worth the result. The best choice i made : Teaching Nasty plot to chimchar The worst choice i made : Turning Lucario into a special attacker. And now the Hall of fame ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUaT84YdCoc Leslie the Poliwrath Caught after Serra http://i.imgur.com/2zgINWU.jpg Well Leslie is a quite good pokemon. From the middle game, Poliwrath is mandatory by providing a water coverage in the team. Without it, passing through gliscor for example is a nightmare. But even with that good advantage, Poliwrath must absolutely place a rain dance, so it must lose a turn and his movepool isn't versatile, his only water physical stab is Waterfall.....Which you gain in episode 13. So well, it is mandatory, but not powerful. B+ Rank Corey the Hitmonchan Caught after Radomus http://i.imgur.com/tjhM5uv.jpg Thought its versatile movepool would help a lot in the team, but he's clearly outclassed by medicham. He isn't bulky enough to tank anything, to fast enough to outspeed anything, and doesn't have any resistance to psychic, fairy or flying. Nothing big deal. Dont waste your time with him. C- Rank. Blake the Hawlucha Caught after Samson http://i.imgur.com/oNSvLk8.jpg One of the MVPs here, Hawlucha is simply an excellent answer to the main weakness of fighting monotype : most of the pokemons in the run aren't fast enough to outspeed anything, and Hawlucha with unburden outspeeds EVERYTHING. Stabbed bounce, stabbed high jump kick and swords dance will get him to tear apart lot of teams, especialy Terra and Blake. The pokemon is worth the training, and is the first member of the all stars squad of the run. S Rank. Erik the Gallade Caught after Aya http://i.imgur.com/SBti940.jpg The second member of the all stars squad. Gallage provides a psychic resistance and coverage aswell, night slash is useful, while leaf blade and close combat are too. Destiny bond is the thing that let me get through every boss battle, i cant beat them without Destiny bond. He's fast a quite bulky, he will help you until the end of the run S Rank. Junior the Hitmonlee Caught after Radomus http://i.imgur.com/U8CT0vi.jpg One of the most underrated, Hitmonlee is a pokemon that has the same pro as Hawlucha, with unburden normal gem, it outspeeds everything. It helped a lot with Luna's battle, but Samson the most, since it learns bounce in Agathe Circus, making him a decent flying type user. He also has blaze kick to deal with threats like tropius and momartik, so that helps a lot. Hawlucha is better, but Hitmonlee is available early , and you can play them both for better results like i did with Terra. A Rank. Ginpei the Infernape Starter Pokemon http://i.imgur.com/DEvOudQ.jpg The most useful pokemon i had early game. I recommend a special one , since Nasty plot ember, and later fire pledge helped me too much sweeping entire teams. From Julia to florinia, and Shelly, not forgetting Aya because of fire pledge getting boosted, the pokemon is really useful. One nasty plot and you're ready to sweep, that's incredible. However, in late game, he's just not fast enough to follow Terra, Ciel, and such. A+ Rank. Rocky the Medicham Caught after Shade http://i.imgur.com/0tuDHc0.jpg A better hitmonchan, available quickly, with a psychic stab for all poison battle and a great coverage once you reach the move tutor, i like Medicham because he's a wrecking ball on its on. Medicham also has drain punch, who helps him to stay longer and longer. However, his speed lacking will hurt him in late game, that's kinda...Bad :'( But he earns a good spot in any team. S- Rank. Junior the Hitmontop Caught after Radomus http://i.imgur.com/FXO7cU5.jpg It served his role, Aka letting me get though Charlotte, but even a technician one don't hit hard enough and is outclassed. The only role he can fulfill well is a double protector with wide guard and intimidate, and only Charlotte spams eruptions and such. B- Rank Boris the Chesnaught Caught after Luna http://i.imgur.com/aO25CdJ.jpg Well, in the showdown, he can deal a lot of damages because we dont have any recover, but here, it's not bulky enough to stall, it's not faster enough to sweep, so you cant give him any position besides spiking the team. So well. It's a grass coverage, but you already have gallade for that. C+ Rank. Victor the Conkeldurr Caught after Luna http://i.imgur.com/scUW0JC.jpg I hate to say that, but Conkeldurr isn't as awesome as he's in the game. One of my fav fighting pokemons lost his pride here because of being available too late in the game. Sure he's one of the few to get a rock type and he's a good bulky, but Hariyama is already EV Trained at this point, got knock off, heavy slam, and Guts / Thick fat. So it's outclassed. It helps a lot for Samson though. A- Rank. Cyril the Emboar Caught after Aya http://i.imgur.com/Rz9MitJ.jpg A surprise, didn't think the pokemon was that bulky, and that thing can be special or physical as you wish. Rock Smash is a fuckin good move, and Emboar is bulky enough to tank things even without EV spread on HP. I putted 252 in speed, letting him outspeed some threats in the game. Even in the late game, he proved he was useful facing Charlotte for example. It's a mandatory pokemon. A+ Rank. Matter the Sawk Caught after Shade http://i.imgur.com/C5iXLGQ.jpg While counter Sturdy is a good thing, it's the only good thing that Sawk brings in the team, otherwise it's not fast enough to speed and not bulky enough to tank, just leave him after Noel and you're fine. He is your only ally vs Solaris though. B Rank. Kenji the Primeape Caught after Julia http://i.imgur.com/pSssz2U.jpg Too frail as a mankey, too frail as a Primeape. Despite a wonderful ability in Defiant, the monkey will not last in your team. His movepool is catastrophic, letting any pokemon that resists cross shop kill him. Thrash is his second best attack while punishment is the third. Nothing to be scared about for any gym leader...Use him because you need to, and thrash him when you can. C- Rank. Mikael the Heracross Caught after Noel http://i.imgur.com/kGvS6hM.jpg While catching it was a pain in the ass, it was really worth it. It appeared in most battles since i caught him and took Luna in a 1VS5 match, Heracross has two destructive abilities in Guts and defiant, making him a wrecking ball. He has rock blast against flying, who is very good. i think he's mandatory in every fighting run, since Bug moves will also wreck Psychics. S Rank. Korrina the Pangoro Caught after Julia http://i.imgur.com/X5gPcKi.jpg Despite his typing, Pangoro isn't bulky enough to take anything, even after it evolves, and will end up serving as a healing body for another better pokemon. He isn't fast, so you can drop him quickly. Take him at the start just because you need pokemons to fuel your team. I didnt even use him vs Shade. D+ Rank Mario the Hariyama Caught after Julia http://i.imgur.com/FYCh3Iu.jpg Speaking of pokemons that last during the whole adventure, you got a good one. The second Bulkiest fighting pokemons with a better movepool and a better availability in the game than Conkeldurr, knock off will deal with lot of things while heavy slam with help with the fairy battle. Fake out is a good utility aswell and both guts and thick fat are useful in early and late game respectively. I recommend Hariyama in the whole run. A++ Rank. Moley the Scrafty Caught after Shelly http://i.imgur.com/NxTdKRo.jpg I love Moley, the best sweeper in the fighting run. I like how Dragon dance + moxie can sweep a whole team, and the Scrafty helped me against Shade, Taka, Solaris, Aya, and every obstacle in the run until the end game, since placing Scrafty is really difficult at this point, leaving a pokemon with a low speed on the ring...But he got head smash too , so it will break every wall you need to break if you can place him S Rank. Scott the Machamp Caught after Luna http://i.imgur.com/lsQxsBq.jpg While no guard is wonderful, the poor movepool of Machamp isn't a good thing. Despite the knock off he can learn, he doesn't have anything else relevant besides fighting moves. Machamp si cool, especially for Samson , but he's outclassed by lot of pokemons and EV training him isn't worth the power. B- Rank. Sissy the Lucario Caught after Charlotte http://i.imgur.com/mMK2JPf.jpg As a special sweeper, it lacks flash cannon which is a tm move, letting Hidden power, dark pulse, aurasphere, vacuum wave and water pulse as moves, that sucks. As a physical attacker, he's a cheap medicham once again, if not for extreme speed who can be cool....But well, he wont do anything to terra,neither to Ciel, at least in monofighting. C+ Rank. Yasmine the Mienshao Caught after Luna http://i.imgur.com/9upJ1Sv.jpg Same as Lucario, but without the flying resistance, it doesnt provide anything neither as a special or physical attacker. If you dont have Heracross you have u-turn...But well. C Rank. Shin the Throh Caught After Shade http://i.imgur.com/Cn3P3nM.jpg The worst pokemon in the run, even training it is a pain. D--- Rank. Josue the Toxicroak Caught after Shelly http://i.imgur.com/fFSIwvN.jpg ALL HAIL THE MVP OF THE RUN ! Toxicroak is available very early in the game, letting him be an excellent sweeper , covering the fairy and psychic weaknesses because of sucker punch and poison jab. The pokemon also has an access to knock off and a powerful ability : Dry Skin. Starting from Aya and the black sludge in the wasteland, he is both the best sweeper and the best tank in the whole game. He will tank well common moves, and will recover by himself using sludge, dry skin and drain punch. This move is the best fighting type move i could ever use in the run. Toxicroak stayed in my team from Shelly to Seel included and did the final blow to the latter. He's the MVP in any fighting run. Despite nasty plot, i dont recommand using special one since it loses drain punch and its staying power. See my battle vs Fern and Blake to see how important he is. S+ Rank. Well, a pic of the whole family The box Trainer Card And finaly, the thanks Thanks to all people who followed, gave tips for the run, made the run possible I thank you people who are following this since a month, that was really fun to report it and i might come with a new project about it.
