RebornRejuvinator Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 im playing through pokemon reborn and decide to teach my ivysaur nature power because its probably more powerful with the field effects plus the piled on effect makes it dangerous, not to mention pretty much any field will boost nature power are there any other moves that in the main games are lackluster but are pretty useful in reborn?

Tartar Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Misty Fields is pretty useless in the main series, but in Reborn it's great for removing field effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 A move that I've always found useful in Reborn is Leech Seed. Learnt early on by Snivy, Bulbasaur, maybe other Grass starters, and it can be kept quite long to wear down strong foes that would otherwise be troublesome. It's not exactly an underrated or lackluster move, but in canon games it doesn't find much use simply because there are not many opponents that require you to adopt strategies other than brute force.

WanderingCorvus Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 For most gym leaders, I carried an Emolga in my team. Reason being that it knows Nuzzle, a 100% chance-to-paralyze move. Gym leaders have fast pokemon, but if Emolga can out speed them and paralyze them, its game over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartar Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Another move that can be useful at times is Perish Song. I didn't use it in Reborn, but it saved me many times while playing Rejuvenation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebornRejuvinator Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 Yeah my normal strategy is brute force, when i started this play through i thought id try new things out so far venasaur is my best playthrough starter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldon Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Another move that can be useful at times is Perish Song. I didn't use it in Reborn, but it saved me many times while playing Rejuvenation. Good lord, that demon garboder was a pain. It killed everything in one hit. I only beat it because prankster meowstic with light screen and altaria perish song. I agree one-hundred percent with this statement.

Developers Samtale Posted November 21, 2016 Developers Share Posted November 21, 2016 Rollout helped me out a lot I don't know if this is the case but, when I used it seemed to get more powerful if used consecutively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Felix Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Tailwind. I love this move. It's so incredibly useful when your team isn't that speedy. Pretty sure it was my secret against Charlotte and is one of the only reasons I like Swanna now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sr.F Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Mirror Coat and Flame Charge. Thanks to Lord Vanilluxe and Lord Rapidash, I have been able to spend several important moments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobalt996 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Discharge and Heat Wave are already good moves, but opting to go without either of them can be painful, since they hit much harder on a lot of fields, and allow you to (somwhat) control where you are fighting. Of course, those aren't underrated outside of Reborn, so... Magic Coat definitely gets props, especially since Luna walks into it every time. Not as useful as its ability form, but certainly good enough to hold in a fourth slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoseGoldLaugh Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 For me, Parting Shot is pretty useful. While playing through Reborn a while ago, I accidentally deleted a move on my Pangoro for Parting Shot but I was glad I did because it came in handy for me against the Ditto-Arceus. With its Attack and SpAttack lowered just a little my bulkier pokemon were able to take hits and finish him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Acid Spray > Special move >> Reduces Sp.Def by 2 levels every use lol. Another move that can be useful at times is Perish Song. I didn't use it in Reborn, but it saved me many times while playing Rejuvenation. This though~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esu Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) icy wind + misty terrain = 55 x 1.5 = 82.5 magical leaf + misty terrain = 60 x 1.5 = 90 (never miss energy ball!!) icy wind + techinician + misty terrain = 55 x 1.5 x 1.5 = 123.75 magical leaf + technician + misty terrain = 135 ah, and misty terrain also prevent burn, sleep, and paralyze Edited November 21, 2016 by esu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anstane Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 The one move I've gotten a huge appreciation for in this game is Mirror Coat. Well timed, it just destroys special attackers, as well as being my go-to answer against Dittoceus. It helps that my favorite mon can learn it. Heck, said mon can even OHKO Mewtwo with it, without the need of a Sash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairFamily Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I would say fire pledge and mystical fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatJones Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) Mirror coat, or nature power, but out of the both nature power just edges it for me, one of my first playthroughs huge power diggersby with nature power totally owned shade Edited November 21, 2016 by NatJones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartar Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Good lord, that demon garboder was a pain. It killed everything in one hit. I only beat it because prankster meowstic with light screen and altaria perish song. I agree one-hundred percent with this statement. Actually, i never used Perish Song against Super Bosses/Pulse Pokémon. Only on Gym-Leaders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monochrome_Complex Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Mist. It shuts down Shade pretty hard as it weakens his hard hitting shadow balls and stops his pokemon from getting field bonuses off their attacks. Bonus points if you chose Delphox as mystical fire gets buffed off it. In fact, mist is a huge reason why I kept Pelipper far longer than i would have otherwise on my flying monorun. Any field-changing move is a godsend in Reborn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeath245 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 icy wind + misty terrain = 55 x 1.5 = 82.5 magical leaf + misty terrain = 60 x 1.5 = 90 (never miss energy ball!!) icy wind + techinician + misty terrain = 55 x 1.5 x 1.5 = 123.75 magical leaf + technician + misty terrain = 135 ah, and misty terrain also prevent burn, sleep, and paralyze ^ This... I did know Icy Wind could be so handy until I play reborn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Rollout helped me out a lot I don't know if this is the case but, when I used it seemed to get more powerful if used consecutively. Yeah Rollout doubles in power with each consecutive use up to 5 times, much like Fury Cutter (which is another underrated move btw). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorac Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Screech saved my life in battles against more defensive foes, particularly Pulse! Tangrowth. I list this one as an underrated move because it seems like most people prefer to buff their own Pokémon instead of lowering the opponent's defenses.Also I think most of you already know this, but Struggle F*cking Bug.

Zey Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I gotta admit. Smack Down was a move I never used until this playthrough of Reborn, and it has so many uses. I preferred it over Stone Edge because of accuracy and secondary bonus's. It works as a brilliant substitute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
