Vhandrake Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Since i've first heard about mono-runs i've been like "I need to do a Dragon run" Which is my favourite type since Gen I and that magnificent Dragonite... The thing is, when it comes to Reborn, (And not only to Reborn) Dragon type seems to lack alot, at least at the first gyms... Also, dragons tend to evolve and get good much later in the game (Which is another downside)... But i REALLY want to do this... I also know there's a chance, VERY small chance to get an Axew from the Mystery Egg, something that never happened to me so far, but idk, i'm kinda stubborn... So, what do you guys recommend? Options? Help? If you're like "Here, i can give you X dragon pokémon i don't use, you can have it (Which it would be awesome if it is low level cause the earlier i can use it the better) Or just any sort of advice would be awesome too, I'm not a Pokémon expert, but i sure love the game.

I love it too!! And about the Pokémon.. I don't really have that much to offer back, and the ones you're mentioning are all high lvl (Around 40-45+) I wouldn't be able to get there by my own, i guess (Maybe if i get an army of Noibats) I don't know if Charmander counts, considering it mega it's Dragon.. I've never done a mono-run, that's why i'm not very aware of the "rules" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Dante52 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) One option is to download Reborn- Sandbox Mode. It's the same game but has a room at the beginning with everything. All the TMs, someone who will generate any pokemon for you, the pokemon breeder, the nature changer, EV grinding, etc, etc. A big part of the reason it was created was for mono-runs. Good luck on your dragon run!   Edited May 31, 2017 by Dante52 included link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that an option? That's amazing! I also read somewhere that it can be other type if it will evolve into Dragon (In this case) Is that correct?

I mean, where is the challenge in this? You can get some traded by the request-a-mon thread Wolfox Glace mentioned. Plus, you can use mons that mega evolve into dragons too, like Charmander, or Sceptile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it easier and faster, since it doesn't involve save file editing. The two first battles don't count anyways, they're just tackle fights.

I got the first couple fights done with a Squirtle in my Bug mono.

Bug and Poison are the most abundant early on, so no need to ask for anything to get your run going... I'd think that Cutiefly would be available by Headbutting trees early on like the Combees are... That's weird... Maybe it's too good to get pre-Julia. Btw, when can you get Igglybuff from the event in Peridot Ward (i think)? Is it after Julia too?
