Dixinitus Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Anyone got a tip on what 6th Pokémon i should use? I'm only shiny farming the ones I want to use and it's my first time posting here so i'm not quite sure if i've done it right. Thanks for the help in advance! Also, the trainer card is currently my team. Edited November 13, 2015 by Dixinitus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_Ludo Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Is that your current team in your trainer card? If not, what is it? Edited November 13, 2015 by Lord_Ludo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darvan Korematsu Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I'd immediately say dump Muk for pretty much any other Poison type if you absolutely wanna run it. Or Fearow. Or least likely, Donphan. Heck, maybe Houndoom, because screw it. Also, depending on where you are in the game right now can be another huge deciding factor.

Fearow is my favorite flying type by far so i'm going to keep him. Houndoom i'm not so sure, is there a better fire type Pokémon that i can currently get? (Just defeated the Ice Gym and can't beat Noel) Muk is just Muk. It was either between Muk or Weezing but I got a shiny Muk first so it ended up with him.

Lord_Ludo Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Unfortunately most of your team has really crummy move pools. Empoleon can't learn much good without TMs, Fearow will fall off stat wise sooner rather than later, Jolteon has never exactly gotten good moves, Muk is alright, plenty of better poison options though. Ironically Donphan is the only Pokemon that can really put in work other than Houndoom. But, all that is neither here nor there. Back to your question, I would invest in another ground type or a fighting type. I believe a Toxicroak could do well for your team, mine certainly put in work against Noel. And Croagunk is an event Pokemon so it'd be easy to soft reset for it EDIT: And a Toxicroak would also free up the poison slot so you could get something else instead of Muk Edited November 13, 2015 by Lord_Ludo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darvan Korematsu Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Okay. Depending on where you wanna go from there, you can try to get a shiny Ralts, because that event is finally available at your point in the story, and shiny Garde in Reborn looks very cool. Other than that, Ludo's pretty much covered all the good mons you can get by that point in the game. Or you could go to the police station to get the cool Mystery Egg, and keep trying to rehatch it.

Dixinitus Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 Or you could go to the police station to get the cool Mystery Egg, and keep trying to rehatch it. I guess it's just my luck to make a useless team However, Fearow, Empoleon & Muk Took out the ice gym single handely. (Porygon-Z one shots them at Noel though.) I got tentacool from the Police egg, i hatched 148 Tentacools and gave up on my shiny(breeded didn't soft reset police egg) so I don't know.. maybe i'll switch out some? Toxicroak sounds like a great idea considering the fact that i really need a fighting pokémon and together with Muk the poison field works for 4 of my Pokémon. Thanks!

Your team isn't useless by any means, its just a tad unfortunate since Ame withholds most good TMs. Empoleon can still definitely be good, I've never considered Fearow but if it works for you then all the better. There are plenty of strategies to make any Pokemon viable at this point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixinitus Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 I've never considered Fearow but if it works for you then all the better. I've never actually played a Pokémon to try to rush or beat everything easily with overpowered pokémons (might be the reason why i'm having such a hard time in Reborn) But Fearow overall works pretty good for me, he has decent stats (Max Stats-Lv. 100. Hp:334 Attack:306 Defence:251 Sp. Attack: 243 Sp. Defence:243 Speed:328) So as far as i've come into the game Fearow is an MVP together with Donphan(wish i had him shiny) Empoleon has pretty much been terrible the entire game except for the Ice gym where he showed me what he can do. (Jolteon + Muk are my newest Pokémon and i replaced Pachirisu with Jolteon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Ludo Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Good electric types also if you find that Jolteon isn't working for you could be Magnezone (more bias i know) and Elektross, depending what you're looking for. Magnezone isn't available at your point, but you can still get Magneton. And I'm pretty sure you can get an Tynamo in Reborn City by now. Apologies if I'm mistaken on that. Good luck with Noel and the rest of the game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 The team isn't bad at all and the only one I'd say even needs dropped would be Donphan (if you drop both it and Muk, Nidoking isn't a bad option as that thing is quite powerful with Sheer Force). For Empoleon get Rain Dance on that thing because Hydro Pump/Surf is about all it can really do at this point. Houndoom is better with Dark Pulse and Nasty Plot...because it can do crap with Physical attacks outside of Beat Up (which isn't that strong). I can't give too many recommendations because I don't know what you're dropping. Metagross, Reuniclus, or Alakazam could be good options to add at you lack a Psychic type (or you could go the opposite way and add one of the Ralts family to your team). There's a large pool of Pokemon so picking one is easier said then done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullgasher Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) A lot of hate towards Fearow. You could always get a murkrow. I found mine at the Aqua Gang hideout on a windy night, and it has not disappointed. It actually has the highest attack on my team. It's an event pokemon so you could keep resetting for a shiny one. Honchkrow+Moxie+Sucker Punch works like a charm. Definitely got me a through a lot of gym leaders Edited November 13, 2015 by Skullgasher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixinitus Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 If anyone is still wondering about my muk, Just defeated Ciel with a lvl 61 muk. 61 muk took out 5 of Ciel's fighting pokémon thanks to Gastro Acid, Pain Split & Gunk shot. Fearow took down the last lvl 72 pokémon when he was level 65. No longer have any doubts on my Mighty Fearstrike & Toxicity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No longer have any doubts on my Mighty Fearstrike & Toxicity I mean, using unconventional means to beat gym leaders is basically the name of the game in Reborn. I certainly didn't know that a Bronzong would almost sweep Blake and Ciel until I did it Edited November 14, 2015 by wytch_doctr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anddew Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) I was wondering if you guys could also take a look at my team. Currently I am just outside the Psychic gym Empoleon -Brine Meowstic (F) -Psychic Arcanine -Flamethrower -Whirlpool -Signal Beam -Flame Burst -Metal Claw -Shadow Ball -Strength -Drill Peck -Disarming Voice -Morning Sun Donphan -Earthquake Weezing -Destiny Bond Noivern -Air Slash -Rollout -Sludge Bomb -Shadow Claw -Rock Smash -Explosion -Roost -Giga Impact -Assurance -Super Fang Edited November 14, 2015 by Anddew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asterlicks Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Honestly, if you like your team, I wouldn't change it! If you want to just improve the mons you have, the easiest way is to just improve their EV's/natures a little bit, if that's possible! Get the EV-reducing berries and clean up any extra special attack EVs on Donphan/Fearow. I might try to focus on either all special, or all physical attacks for Jolteon/Houndoom. Muk and Empoleon are already slow, so it's fine to go mixed on them. If you have some extra heart scales, maybe try swapping their natures around, too! Adamant/Jolly for Donphan/Fearow, Modest/Timid/Naive/Rash for Jolteon/Houndoom. Seeing as you've beat the game, you can try breeding them for better IV's (and grab the shiny charm in Calcenon so you can keep the shininess.) @Anddew, the psychic gym is a double battle, and the chess field doubles how strong Calm Mind/adds Rock/Psychic damage to a lot of attacks is, so if you can re-learn CM on your Meowstic, that might be good. For spread attacks, is it possible to give Empoleon Surf > Whirlpool, Arcanine Heat Wave > Flame Burst, and Noivern Air Cutter > Shadow Claw/Air Slash (although Air Cutter is really weak.) Also maybe give Weezing Sludge Wave so it can combo with Empoleon who's immune? Struggle Bug is really good for that gym too, from what I remember.

Luna Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) well the team is not that bad but you can make some improvements if you want. Gonna list down the move set you should put and the best nature for each pokemon you have. Empoleon(special attack set) Ability:Torrent/defiant Nature:Modest/Quiet(Quiet if you are planning to run trick room) Grass knot Surf/Hydro pump Water pledge Icy wind(move tutor at agate) Empoleon(Physical atk set) Ability: Defiant Nature:Adamant/Brave(brave if you are planning to run a trick room team) Drill peck Metal Claw Waterfall Aqua Jet Muk Ability:Poison touch Nature:Adamant/Impish/Careful/Relaxed/Sassy/Brave Acid Armor Pain split Gunk shot Minimize Jolteon Ability:Volt Absorb Nature: Modest Thunder Discharge Round/Charge beam/Thunder wave/shock wave Rain dance/Thunder wave Fearow Ability:Sniper Nature:Adamant/Jolly Drill Run Drill Peck Roost Secret Power Houndoom(special atk) Ability: Flash Fire Nature: Timid/Modest Nasty Plot Flamethrower Dark Pulse Hidden power Houndoom(physical atk) Ability:Flash Fire Nature:Adamant/Jolly Crunch Thunder Fang Fire Fang Foul Play Donphan Ability:Sturdy Nature:Brave/Adamant(Brave when running a trick room team) Thunder fang Earthquake Fire Fang/Giga Impact Assurance/Fire Fang i would get a better water, electric and fire type. yes i know empoleon is your starter and all but empoleon is not that great without TMs so i m gonna list down some alternative water types you can consider using below. Jolteon is fast but the problem with it is it can't do much without move tutor and the right TMs. you can put hidden power to cover up this problem but that takes breeding and it consumes time since you will have to breed for a shiny eevee which is even harder trust me, i m doing that right now and it is taking ages. so you might as well replace jolteon with a electric type whic can function with what Tm and move tutor currently available in reborn. Also i wonder why you made a shiny jolteon instead of a shiny glaceon,glaceon is awesome and cute. glaceon ftw!! Well houndoom is not that great as a fire type if you run him with a physical move set since it cannot learn flare blitz. There are better physical atk fire type and special atk fire type than houndoom. Ok now for the list: Special Attack water type Ludicolo Ability:RainDish/Swift Swim Energy ball Hydro pump/Surf Giga drain Mist(replace with rain dance if you do not have a rain dance pokemon) Vaporeon Ability:Water Absorb Aurora Beam Muddy Water/surf Hydro Pump Rain dance Milotic Ability:Competitive surf Icy wind(move tutor) Dragon pulse(egg move) Recover Lapras Ability: Water absorb Surf Ice beam Freeze Dry(egg move) Dragon pulse(egg move) Lanturn Ability:Volt absorb Discharge Signal Beam Icy wind Surf Clawitzer Ability:Mega launcher Dark pulse Dragon pulse Water pulse Aura sphere Kingdra Ability:swift swim Surf dragon pulse Rain dance Icy wind(move tutor) Physical Attack Water types Carracosta Ability:Rock solid Aqua jet(can be replaced with waterfall) Shell smash Aqua Tail(can be replaced with waterfall) Rock Slide Barbaracle Ability:Tough Claws Item: wide lens Razor shell shell smash Stone edge Cross Chop Floatzel Ability:Swift Swim Ice fang(use heart scale) Aqua Tail Aqua jet Crunch(use heart scale) Crawdaunt Ability:Adaptability crunch/knock off/night slash Razor shell Crabhammer Swords dance Kingler Ability: Sheer force Crabhammer Metal Claw Secret Power Brick break sharpedo Ability:speed boost waterfall Crunch Poison Fang Ice Fang Whiscash Ability:Hydration Earthquake waterfall Zen Headbutt Rest Quagsire Ability:Water Absorb Earthquake Curse(breed with shellos using this chain) Recover(breeding with shellos) Waterfall Special Attack Electric type Heliolisk Ability:Solar power Thunderbolt/Thunder Surf Dark pulse Grass knot/Round Ampharos Ability:static/plus Thunder/discharge Signal Beam Dragon pulse Power Gem Raichu Ability: Lightning Rod/Static Thunderbolt Nasty Plot Grass Knot Thunder/discharge Magnezone Ability:Analytic/Sturdy Discharge Flash cannon Tri-Attack Mirror Coat Lanturn Ability:Volt absorb Discharge Signal Beam Icy wind Surf Galvantula Ability:Swarm Bug buzz Signal Beam Discharge Sticky web Eelektross Ability: levitate Flamethrower Grass knot Discharge Thunderbolt Manectric Ability:Lighting Rod/Static Flamethrower Discharge Uproar/round/hidden power(egg move) Thunder Physical Attack Electric type Luxray Ability:Intimidate/Guts( put on toxic orb if running guts) Wild Charge Ice Fang(egg move) Fire Fang(egg move) Crunch Electivire Ability: Motor Drive Ice punch(egg move) Thunder punch Low kick/brick break Bulldoze/Screech Zebstrika Ability:Motor Drive/Sap sipper/ lightning Rod Flame Charge Wild Charge Thrash Spark Eelektross Ability: Levitate Wild Charge Crunch Crush claw Brick Break Special Attack Fire types Ninetales Ability: Drought Heat Wave/Flamethrower( egg move) Nasty plot Dark Pulse Extrasensory Typhlosion Ability: Flash Fire Eruption Flamethrower Lava Plume Extrasensory(egg move) Camerupt Ability: rock solid Lava plume Eruption Earth power Amnesia Chandelure Ability: Flash Fire Will-O-Wisp Flamethrower/Overheat Shadow Ball/hex Shock Wave Volcarona Ability:Swarm/Flame body Fiery Dance Quiver Dance Bug Buzz Heat Wave Delphox Ability: Magician Psychic Psyshock Flamethrower/Heat wave Shock wave/ Grass knot Pyroar Ability:Unnerve Hyper Voice Overheat/Flamethrower Dark pulse Hyper beam Physical Attack Fire type Arcanine Ability:Justified Flare Blitz Crunch Outrage Thunder Fang Rapidash Ability:Flame Body Flare Blitz Bounce Poison Jab Mega Horn Darmanitan Ability: Sheer Force Flare Blitz Rock Tomb Headbutt Fire Punch @Anddew Please do not thread rob a person make your own post or post ----> Here <---- if you need help Edited November 15, 2015 by Luna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soultorrent Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Hi! I run both Muk and Empoleon too, nice choice As for a 6th pokemon, my suggestion (and I don't think it's already been said) is that you find a decent grass type, to round out a solid fire/water/grass core so you have some natural type-switching synergy and stuff. I'm not entrirely sure what good grass types are available at your point, I know eventually you can get Leafeon, Tangrowth, Lilligant, Ludicolo (although he's also water type) Vileplume/Bell-awesome, and of course Roserade. So you have some options if you choose to go that route. Hope this gives you some ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
