Zarc Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) Use noctowl against him. Same as magnemite ( evolve him to magneton ) with the field , make sure he has sturdy , it can help a lot. Did you used the link stone ? If no , use it to evolve graveler or catch a boldore to evolve him into gigalith. Noctowl , dusclops , magneton , golem/gigalith , use a fire stone to evolve your growlith into arcanine , and evolve trubbish too.

HongaarseBeer Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Or look for a Scraggy from that event I believe that's available before Shade, not sure though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizon Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 Thanks guys! I'll try those out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarc Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 If you can get scraggy yeah use it i find him broken in this game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickCrash Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 No, don't evolve Growlithe just yet! It can still learn Flare Blitz and Outrage. Evolve your Graveler or a Boldore with the Link Stone. Heliolisk does a better job than Pachirisu in general, and than everything else vs Shade. If you have the time to grind up, go get it. As mentioned above, evolve Trubbish. It's not going to be useful for much longer. You might as well use it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Step 1: train your Magnemite and evolve it into Magneton. Step 2:.teach it Charge Beam. Step 3: open the battle with it. Step 4: spam Charge Beam on Gengar until you get at least +2 special attack. Heal when needed. Step 5: use your boosted Magneton to OHKO Gengar, Doublade, Banette and Trevenant. Step 6: ??? Step 7: profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizon Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 Where's the best place to get a link stone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarc Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) On the right of Lapis Ward , just near the Grand Gateway ( i think it’s this name ? ) , where you fought Aster and Eclipse alongside Victoria. There is a man selling one Edited November 4, 2017 by Zarc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just beat Shade! you think shade is hard just wait till the other gym battles and the story based battles. in some battles(no spoilers) i luckily won with 1 hp. before you progress any further i suggest that you get driffloon form the event cause he has destiny bond when you catch him and it will be useful in most situations and is suggest you join team aqua in the gangs as they give a carvanha who will be useful in the futue(also cause he has destiny bond).also i suggest you try and defeat the garchomp battle on the volcano as it will help ease a battle later in the story otherwise that battle would be difficult Edited November 4, 2017 by Iron Avenger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnow Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I have been shade twice in my life, and I have done it starting off with the exact same Pokemon. Nidoqueen. Holy fuck this Pokemon is my Saint Juan De Arc when going up against shade. Without her, I would still be probably trying to face em today (maybe not). You get the Nidorina that you can find in the cave above the Jasper Ward (As well as the ring you need to befriend it) and basically make sure to grind her up to the highest level you can. Also, you need to evolve it to Nidoqueen and make sure it has the ability sheer force and knows Bite. Even with this, it took many tries for me to beat em but damn was it ruthless and entertaining, and it is downright my favourite Pokemon gym battle ever in my Life. Nidoqueen can also be useful later on and found in my first playthrough using her all the way up to the fire gym leader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Congrats! Shade isn't the toughest by a long way, but can still be quite the challenge if your team isn't suited to facing him. Well, that's true for most leaders I suppose. Good luck with the others~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, I used Cactune (During eps. 15 playthrough. Don't know if still available)for destiny bond and especially helped me with... Spoiler Arceus.

I think I did that in my first playthrough. In my second... I can't really remember but I think I status effect the hell out of it. Personally, I think you should use an electric type to defeat it (It's its primary weakness.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, you need some mon that can outspeed Kiki's mons, because Kiki have some great coverage moves on her pokemons. Or hunt 1 or 2 focus sashes and give it to your ace mon.

Jess Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 1 minute ago, Wolfox said: Kiki has a Key weakness: Swoobat Her Machamp though can survive a Psychic (even if boosted by field), and prevents Swoobat from setting up with Rock Slide. Lucario also takes neutral damage by Psychic and will survive one if Swoobat hasn't used Calm Mind. Gotta find the opportunity to set up, since Swoobat's defenses are rubbish, so it will get OHKO'ed by any Physical attack that isn't resisted.
