Ladrillomagico Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Hi! it's me again, this is my second post today (Maybe some of you have seen my post asking for help in the lapis gym) and now i'm having some trouble with that creepy shade, the thing that i know is that after two attacks of electric type, the machinery turns on, with my pachirisu i can defeat gengar, but that rottom has no mercy... him hit most of my pokemons with shadow ball, and uses discharge to turn de lights down and give more power to its shadow ball if someone has any strategy that can help me with this, i will gladly try it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And secondly for Rotom you can set up Light Screen if you have Meowstic,it is certainly faster than Rotom,and with Light Screen on you can ease the pressure on your team, If you have status move like sleep,burn,poison or even leech seed that can help you a lot, If none of these helps,i can give you Absol,Breloom,Venusaur etc, ~ Edit:And Krookodile is a great choice too,since it's Ground/Dark,immune to electric and resists Shadow Ball~ Edited January 14, 2018 by Thundermaze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LemonJones Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Pangoro will get the job done. Level it up to 42 so it can learn Crunch, then just bring it back down so it will listen to your commands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragoknight Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) I remember the first time I went up against the one known as Shade... Between that Gengar and Rotom, well, he can be quite a bit of trouble. The best way to power through his team would be with a powerful dark type. At this point in the game you have access to Purrloin, Poochyena, Houndoor, and Murkrow. I recommend training one of them for your team. I'd go with Murkrow, but if you don't want to wait for a windy night, Moxie Mightyena works wonders. You can find Poochyena in any of the back alleys and Murkrow is in the Aqua gang hideout on windy nights. EDIT: Oh yeah, Pangoro exists.... I still recommend Murkrow, but Pangoro is good.

Taska Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Shade is really easy. All you need is a Mightyena with moxie. Crunch does work on him. With that team you have a kinda bad electric type (Pachirisu) and a Fearow (which is really bad) so I would swap em out for a good fire, normal, psychic fire, flying, or fighting type. Otherwise you are going to continue having trouble with each Gym leader you face. I recommend Meowstic. She was extremely useful for me up until around the 12th gym.

.... Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) Yes~ Your team is absurdly weak at this point,you should change things up a lot. Edited January 14, 2018 by Thundermaze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladrillomagico Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 Thanks to all of you for the help! so, i have to change: The fearow The pachirisu add a mightyena with moxie/Pangoro with crunch right? and other little thing, as more experimented players of reborn, how can i improve my team when i defeat shade?

SilverAngelus Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Ok, I just beat Shade yesterday so I'm fresh on giving you advice. I had a heck amount of trouble with Gengar and Rotom especially. Everyone else, not so much. His team is now different in episode 17! I'll put his team in this spoiler tag in case you want to challenge yourself by not knowing what his team is in advance. Spoiler Starts with Gengar. After this, he could send out anyone else: Rotom Doublade Dhelmise Gourgeist A shiny different looking "Pikachu" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.... Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) @Ladrillomagico I think you should rebuild your team from scratch,i'd say keep only swampert,build your team around him~ You will decide,if you want a more offensive team or more balanced team,since it's limited what you can obtain you have to pick carefully,i'd say get magnemite right away,they're in Shade's gym anyway,also find the lost officers and get the growlithe,you can find how to do that event,there is good chance a great pokemon will hatch from it,you can keep houndoom til the late game as a fire type, That being said f you can decide a team and can't find the right pokemon fo yourself,i can give you them via trade,that's what i do;Breeding, But this team right know will cause you a lot of trouble in the future ~ Edit: Not mystery egg,growlithe my bad ~ Edited January 14, 2018 by Thundermaze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladrillomagico Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) well, trade sounds good! If you give me your profile name i can trade with you P.D: with the mistery egg you are talking about that drowsee egg back in obsidia or the growlithe's egg that the police officer ask?

Dragoknight Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 @Ladrillomagico For coverage reasons, I recommend a good fire type. If you have the Growlith you get from saving the 5 police officers, I say you should use that. Arcanine is fantastic and would be a great addition to your team. And, well, Ludicolo isn't a very good 'mon. Meowstic would be excellent for you, especially if you want to run dual screen support. @SilverHelio A different looking pikachu, huh? I hear some people refer to that one as a "Mimikyu". I also heard it's quite effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladrillomagico Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 Yeah, arcanine is great, but i don't have enough stickers to acces to the plant in the commercial center when i can buy that sweet fire stone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverAngelus Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 @Dragoknight Shhhh. I was being rhetoric. Edit: Spoiler Be careful of Mimikyu. not only can Mimikyu tank any one hit due to it's ability, it knows Swords Dance and could sweep your team right after with Shadow Claw and/or Play Rough. My Tyrantrum was sweeping his team until the finale with Mimikyu, where Tyrantrum lost and my other 4 members fought and I only one left standing till I finally beat Mimikyu. And they were all at full health and strong. @Ladrillomagico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladrillomagico Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 well, i don't know, i usually like very agressive pokemons, i think that i will go for that mightyena and meowstick, beat shade and then re-think my team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragoknight Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 @SilverHelio Well maybe you just needed a rhetorical answer Sorry! Guilty pleasure of mine to be Cap'n obvious. @Ladrillomagico Oh yeah.... well if your lucky you can get a fire stone while mining. Or, you know, I could trade you one.

Ladrillomagico Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 Two things: First: where can i find the mining kit? Second: Should i change my lairon for a lucario? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.... Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 @Ladrillomagico You can find the mining kit under the staircase,rock smash your way through north and a hiker will give it to you, And Lucario is always a good option,Fight/Steel is a great coverage for you and Lucario's vast movepool will surely help you out a lot , You can run physical or special Lucario or both depend on your preference ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverAngelus Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 ofc quote button isn't working Aggron is pretty good though; Aggron can tank a bunch of physical hits and still take down opponents. Quote To get to the mining kit, go to the staircase cave and when the path diverges to the left, south and right, go to the right, you'll find rocks blocking your way, smash them and go forward (up), you'll find a hiker that tells you about those glowing stones, and afterwards gives you the Mining Kit.

Ladrillomagico Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) Quote Okay,when you decide let me know and i will get your mon' ready ~ I think that i found a team that will be very good for both the history and competitive: Swampert Jolteon Lucario Tyranitar Torterra Starraptor The problem is that, well, i need a thunderstone for the jolteon, a larvitar for the tiranitar, a kind soul that can give me a tortuig and a starraptor that learns close combat, also i will need much time dedicated to level up and hunt for stuff to improve the team Edited January 14, 2018 by Ladrillomagico misspelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
