Nim's (Mis)Adventures in the Reborn Region (A Psychic-type Hardcore Monotype Run)

[Lord Chespin 10]

So, in case you haven't noticed, Version 7 of Pokemon Rejuvenation is almost out. So, in the spirit of the game, I decided to do a psychic-type monotype run... as Nim! Yes, I actually edited the files so I can play as Nim. Here, look:

[Shad_ 6]

Finally a Psychic run! Good luck ~

[DerogatoryTrainer 323]

Can you get Lunatone before Shelly?

It'd make the fight much easier at least

[Zumi 2464]

oh my god, yes. good. i mean i haven't even played reborn in its entirety yet but the fact that you're playing as nim already makes this so good

i can die happy now

[Lord Chespin 10]

Finally a Psychic run! Good luck ~

Yeah, I was planning on doing one eventually. Thanks for the luck!

Can you get Lunatone before Shelly?

It'd make the fight much easier at least

Unfortunately, no. I get it just after Shelly. I do get a Swoobat, though, so I guess that works. Good luck on your Nuzlocke!

oh my god, yes. good. i mean i haven't even played reborn in its entirety yet but the fact that you're playing as nim already makes this so good

i can die happy now

Well, I'm glad to make you happy! Thank you for helping to make Pokemon Rejuvenation!

Anyway...

Update #1: Yer a Wizard, Nim!

Well, the first couple of battles were... varied. The battle against Cain was fairly easy; Nim's starter, Fennekin, took it out with just three embers, taking minimal damage in the process. Victoria, however, was significantly harder. Her Tepig resisted Harry the Fennekin's attacks, so even though he managed to land two critical hits, Nim had to use a potion on Harry so he could survive long enough to beat Victoria. Oh well. Anyway, time to find new friends!

The team so far:

Harry (Male) - Lv. 8

[Commander 876]

I was actually planning on doing a psychic monotype, but you are one brave soul for picking the one type that kind of got screwed over. Good luck on this run because there are so many checks to psychic types.

[TorchicPlays 0]

Don't forget to raise a bidoof to get a munna from a trade!

Also, this spoiler:

Here's the Pokemon in the PC:

Do you like looking at empty spoiler tags? Do you get a kink out of this?

And Delphox/Braixen will be a total MONSTER against Shelly and Florinia.

fire types 2 OP plz nerf

Oh. Well. That's... comforting. Thanks for the luck, I guess. I'm gonna have a bad time, aren't I?

Anyway...

Update #2: PHOTOSYNTHESIS... PHOTOSYNTHESIS...

Well, Fern was harder than I expected. Nim led with one of her newer team members- Hermonie the Woobat- and he led with his Lombre. Hermonie tanked a growl and a bubble and whooped its butt with three mighty gusts, taking it out and prompting Fern to send out his Servine. Servine got off a leer, a growl, and a vine whip, but even though Fern healed it with a potion, Harry (who I swapped Hermonie out for) managed to take it down with a relentless barrage of embers. Then came Fern's Roselia... and this is where things got tricky. Nim sent out her second new team member- Ron the Death Eater Espurr, and while Roselia set up a growth, he did some damage with a confusion. Sadly, he got poisoned by a poison sting, and even though he managed to get off two more confusions (one of which was a critical hit), he still fainted to another poison sting and a mega drain. Nim's bad luck was compounded further when she sent out her Bidoof (a temporary team member that she's going to trade for a Munna), which only did chip damage with a rollout before fainting to a mega drain. Luckily, Harry was able to come back out and did massive damage with a critical-hit ember, ending the fight! With Fern down, it's time for Nim to meet up with Julia and storm the Mosswater factory!

The team so far:

Harry (Male) - Lv. 16

Ron (Male) - Lv. 13

Hermonie (Female) - Lv. 15

Bidoof (Temporary Team Member) - Lv. 13

Looking good!

[Lord Chespin 10]

Looking good!

Hey, thanks! I like your avatar, by the way. Anyway...

Update #3: Meteor Sighting

Well, the first fight against Aster and Eclipse was rather easy. Nim led with Harry, Fern led with Roselia, and Aster and Eclipse led with Electabuzz and Magmar. Roselia tanked a feint attack and a shock wave and paralyzed Magmar with a stun spore, but fainted the next turn to a fire punch; Harry, meanwhile, tanked a feint attack and hit Electabuzz with two embers. Fern sent out his Lombe next, and while Harry tanked a low kick and fired off an ember at Electabuzz, Magmar was immobilized by paralysis and Lombre hit both of Aster and Eclipse's Pokemon with a bubble. Pretty much the same thing happened the next turn, except instead of targeting Harry with a low kick, Electabuzz slammed Lombre with a fire punch. Aster and Eclipse healed Electabuzz with a potion, but Harry managed to burn it with an ember! Lombre, meanwhile, got off one last absorb before fainting to a feint attack from Magmar. Fern sent out his last Pokemon (Servine), and it hit Electabuzz with a vine whip and tanked a feint attack while Aster and Eclipse used up their last potion on Electabuzz and Harry hit Magmar with a psybeam. Poor Harry fainted from a shock wave the next turn, and Servine fainted to an ember after getting off a leer, prompting Nim to send out Ron. Ron got burned by a fire punch, but still managed to take out Magmar with three psybeams while tanking a clear smog; meanwhile, Electabuzz just fainted from burn damage, ending the fight! With the Mosswater Factory in ruins, it's time for Nim to take on Julia!

The team so far:

Harry (Male) - Lv. 18

Ron (Male) - Lv. 20

Hermonie (Female) - Lv. 18

Flak (Female) - Lv. 20

[TorchicPlays 0]

You can get Spoink after Julia, and if the RNG is in your side, Drowzee.

And Pachirisu is also going to be useful as a pickup/HM slave, especially if you raise it's level to make the picked up items better.

Update #4: The Battle of Peridot Ward (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Boomies)

Hey! Sorry for the lack of updates; I've just been stuck on this battle for days. Seriously, this may have been the hardest battle I've ever done in Pokemon Reborn! Fortunately, though, eventually the stars and planets aligned, and Nim managed to beat Julia! On TEH URN, Nim led with Harry, and Julia led with Magnemite. Magnemite did some damage with a charge beam, but Harry tanked it with 29 HP to spare, and retaliated with three embers, taking it out and making Julia use up all of her super potions! Up next came Julia's Emolga, so Nim sent out one of our newer team members: Flak the Munna. Miraculously, Emolga decided to use two quick attacks instead of the far more damaging acrobatics and charge beam or the more disruptive nuzzle, allowing Flak to 2HKO it with two mighty psybeams! Up next came her Voltorb, so Nim sent out Hermonie (now a fully-evolved Swoobat), and another miracle happened- rather than blow up or use charge beam, Voltorb used sonicboom twice, allowing Hermonie to tank it and do massive damage with three confusions, ending it! Up next came Julia's Chinchou, and Nim sent out Ron. Ron stole the Chinchou's evilolite with a covet, but then got paralyzed. Nim used a paralyze heal on him and then had him fire off a psybeam while the Chinchou landed a charge-boosted electro ball; miraculously, Ron managed to land a critical hit, doing massive damage and leaving it to be KO'd by another psybeam! Up next came Julia's Heliolisk, so Nim sent out Harry again. It was kind of a joke; Harry tanked a parabolic charge from it and did massive damage with two flame charges, taking it out! All that remained was Julia's hardest Pokemon: Electrode. Nim kept Harry out, and he did a surprising amount of damage with two embers while dodging a charge beam before fainting to a sonicboom, making the Electrode use up its sitrus berry. Nim decided to send out Ron next, and he did some damage with two psybeams while Electrode set up a magnet rise and a charge. Ron then just barely survived a charge beam with just 2 HP, and did some damage with a covet before Nim healed him with a super potion, allowing him to tank a charge beam and dodge another. He then ended the Electrode with one last covet and survived the aftermath damage, ending the fight! With that, Nim earns the Volt Badge and moves on to the Obsidia Ward!

The team so far:

Harry (Male) - Lv. 20

Ron (Male) - Lv. 21

Hermonie (Female) - Lv. 20

Flak (Female) - Lv. 21

[Lord Chespin 10]

Update #5: Mind Over Matter

Well, compared to the nightmare that was Julia, Victoria was way, way easier. Nim led with Hermonie, and she led with Scraggy. Hermoine landed an air cutter, doing massive damage, but then got hit with a sand-attack, allowing Scraggy to get a free turn to heal while Hermonie missed an air cutter. Luckily, the next turn, she landed a hit, taking Scraggy down! Up next came Victoria's Makuhita, so Nim sent out Flak, who managed to ouutspeed and one-shot the Makuhita with a mighty psybeam! Victoria sent out her Kirlia next, and Nim sent out Hermonie again. She managed to land an assurance while Kirlia set up a double team, then used assurance two more times while Victoria tried healing Kirlia; it was futile in the end, though, as Hermonie was able to KO Kirlia with her relentless barrage! Victoria's Pignite came out next, so Nim sent out Flak again; Flak managed to survive a flame charge and did serious damage with a psybeam, then KO'd Pignite with another psybeam while Pignite set up a sunny day (making a rainbow with the existing rainy weather). All that remained was Victoria's Poliwag, so Nim sent out Ron. Poliwag didn't put up much of a fight; it just used a mud shot and a rainy day before fainting to two mighty psybeams! With that done with, it's time to enter the slums!

The team so far:

Harry (Male) - Lv. 21

Ron (Male) - Lv. 21

Hermonie (Female) - Lv. 21

Flak (Female) - Lv. 22

[Lord Chespin 10]

Update #6: Slum Showdown

Well, despite having the type advantage, the Scraggy Gang wasn't all that bad! The Gang led with Dragonborn and Stallord the Scraggy, and Nim led with Hermonie and our newest team member: Neville the Drowzee! Neville used poison gas on both Scraggy and tanked a heabutt from Dragonborn while Stallord set up an amnesia; Hermonie, meanwhile, did serious damage with a mighty air cutter. The next turn, Hermonie managed to take out Dragonborn with an air cutter while Neville injured Stallord with a headbutt and Stallord set up another amnesia. Tyson the Scraggy came out next on the Gang's side next, and got hit with an air cutter and fired off an ice punch on Neville; Stallord, meanwhile, tried hitting Hermonie with a drain punch, but didn't do much damage and was slammed by an air cutter and a headbutt. Hermonie then managed to land an air cutter on both Stallord and Tyson, taking them both out! All that remained was Big Boss, the Scrafty leading the Gang. Poor Neville fainted to a payback, but Hermonie was able to do some damage with an air cutter. Nim sent out Ron next, and he stole Big Boss' leftovers with a covet and tanked a payback while Hermonie tanked a brick break, allowing Hermonie to do massive damage with two air cutters while Ron ended Big Boss with a mighty covet! With that over with, it's time to head to the Coral Ward!

The team so far:

Harry (Male) - Lv. 23

Ron (Male) - Lv. 22

Hermonie (Female) - Lv. 23

Flak (Female) - Lv. 22

Neville (Male) - Lv. 19

[Lord Chespin 10]

Update #7: Walking Cain

Well, I had to reset a few times to make sure circumstances during the second Cain fight would go the way I wanted, but I managed to beat Cain without much trouble! On TEH URN, Nim led with Neville (by accident), and Cain led with Grimer. Neville did only scratch damage with a headbutt and took some serious damage from a shadow sneak, so Nim swapped him out for Ron, who tanked a shadow sneak. He then tanked a second shadow sneak and did massive damage with a psybeam, then took it out with two more psybeams while Cain used up his potions! Up next was Cain's Oshawott Dewott, and Nim swapped out for Hermonie. Dewott set up a focus energy and did some serious damage with a razor shell; however, Hermonie managed to do massive damage with three mighty air cutters, taking it out! Up next came Cain's Nidorino, so Nim sent out Flak. Flak tanked a double kick and did massive damage with a psybeam, then took out Nidorino with a psybeam after it tried setting up a focus energy. Cain sent out his Venonat, so Nim sent out Ron again. Poor Ron only got off a single psybeam before fainting, so Nim sent out Harry to avenge him. Despite the rain weakening his ember attack, he still managed to take out Venonat! All that remained was Cain's Gastly, so I swapped out to Flak again; Gastly set up a curse, but that proved to be its undoing, as it weakened it enough to get KO'd by a mighty psybeam! With Cain down, let's go save the Obsidia Ward!

The team so far:

Harry (Male) - Lv. 23

Ron (Male) - Lv. 22

Hermonie (Female) - Lv. 23

Flak (Female) - Lv. 22

Neville (Male) - Lv. 20

[TorchicPlays 0]

You should go get Spoink, it'll help a lot as More pokemon = More power.

[Lord Chespin 10]

Don't worry, I got it. Say hello to Chubb the Spoink! Anyway...

Update #8: Only YOU Can Prevent Forest Fires!

Well, the first PULSE Tangrowth battle wasn't too bad at all! Nim sent out Harry, and he managed to set up a fire spin while tanking a knock off. Harry then fired off two psybeams while tanking another knock off and an acid spray. Luckily, Harry managed to confuse Tangrowth with one of the psybeams, causing it to injure itself and leaving it weak enough for Harry to finish off with one last psybeam! With the Obsidia Ward saved, it's time to go on out and get Nim her second badge!

The team so far:

Harry (Male) - Lv. 25

Ron (Male) - Lv. 24

Hermonie (Female) - Lv. 24

Flak (Female) - Lv. 23

Neville (Male) - Lv. 22

Chubb (Female) - Lv. 22

Oh, we'll get there eventually. I'm probably going to name my Gothita Ebony Darkness Dementia Raven Way (or EDDRW for short), too.

<333

Yeah, I thought you'd like that. Anyway...

Update #9: U Mad, Bro?

Funny thing about Fern. I beat him once before this report, but then reset the game before saving... meaning I had to fight him again. (Sigh) Anyway, on TEH SECOND URN Nim led with Hermonie, and he led with a racist caricature Ludicolo. Hermonie got hit with a fake out right out of the bat, but survived and fired off an air cutter while tanking a water pulse, then fired off another one while Fern used a super potion. She knocked him down to a sliver of health with an air cutter and tanked a second water pulse; Fern tried using his other super potion, but at this point it was too late, as Hermonie managed to take it down with two more air cutters! Up next came Fern's Grovyle, so Nim sent out Neville, who tanked a pursuit twice to set up a nasty plot and fire off a psybeam, which actually confused Grovyle! it still managed to land a leaf blade, but Neville took it in stride and took out the Grovyle with another psybeam! Up next came Fern's Servine, and I kept Neville on the field. Neville got his health sapped by a leech seed and fainted to a mega drain, but at least managed to get off a psybeam before fainting. Nim sent out Flak next, and she dodged a leech seed and tanked two mega drains to fire off a volley of psybeams, one of which was a critical hit and the other of which confused it! Servine then proceeded to take itself down in confusion, prompting Nim to send out Harry while Fern sent out Ferroseed. Harry quickly took it out with two mighty embers, giving it only enough time to set up a single curse. All that remained was Fern's Roselia, so Nim sent out Ron. Ron got hit with a leech seed, but managed to set up a light screen and OHKO Roselia with a psyshock! With that done, it's time to challenge Florina! And, you know, hopefully not reset over the victory this time...

The team so far:

Harry (Male) - Lv. 25

Ron (Male) - Lv. 25

Hermonie (Female) - Lv. 25

Flak (Female) - Lv. 25

I was about to get to that. Usually I post the main post, then edit the team, then copy the team and paste it to the most recent post. It should be there now.

Update #10: Darude Sandstorm

Well, Florina was almost as hard as Julia, but for some reason she didn't feel quite as bad. Maybe because it was I had a full team and thus more options, but I felt less soul-crushingly hopeless after each failure. Anyway, on TEH URN, Nim led with Hermonie, and Florina led with Cacturne. Hermonie landed an air cutter on Cacturne, but got confused by a teeter dance; despite this, she still managed to land a mighty critical-hit air cutter, ending the Cacturne and making it take one of Florina's super potions with it! Up next came Florina's Gourgeist, so Nim swapped out to Harry. Harry set up a fire spin before getting his fire spin disabled, then started spamming ember while Gourgeist got off a shadow sneak. Florina used up her last super potion on it, but it fainted anyway, leading to Florina's next Pokemon: her Grotle. Nim kept Harry on the field, and he did serious damage with two embers; sadly, he fainted to a seed bomb and a sand tomb. Nim sent out Chubb next, and she managed to tank a sand tomb to KO Grotle with two psywaves! Florina sent out her Breloom next, but it was kind of a joke; Hermonie came back out and took it down with a single air cutter. Florina decided to stop messing around and sent out her toughest Pokemon for Nim: her Tropius. Nim sent out Neville, and he managed to tank a leaf blade and poison the Tropius with a poison gas. He then set up a nasty plot while Tropius used fly, and did quite a bit of damage with a psybeam before Tropius set up another fly. Nim quickly healed him with a super potion, and he tanked another fly to fire off a psybeam. Tropius flew up high again, but Nim just healed Neville again, alowing him to tank the fly and end Tropius with a psybeam! All that remained was Florina's ace: Cradily. Neville managed to land a poison gas while it set up a sandstorm, but since he got overleveled by beating Tropius, he just loafed around while Cradily took him out with a giga drain and a rock slide. Nim sent out Ron next, and he stole the Cradily's leftovvers with a covet, set up a light screen, and got off a psyshock before fainting to a rock slide and two giga drains. Chubb came out next, but he failed to do any damage before fainting to a rock slide. Flak came out next, and tanked a giga drain while healing off the damage with a moonlight. Cradily set up another sandstorm while Flak fired off a psybeam, but then Flak fainted to a giga drain and a rock slide while feebly trying to set up a moonlight. All that remained on Nim's team was Hermonie, but despite being overleveled she obeyed Nim long enough to KO Cradily with a mighty confusion, ending the fight and earning Nim the Canopy Badge! With that over with, it's time to save the Jasper Ward!

The team so far:

Harry (Male) - Lv. 25

Ron (Male) - Lv. 25

Hermonie (Female) - Lv. 26

Flak (Female) - Lv. 25

Neville (Male) - Lv. 26

Chubb (Female) - Lv. 25
