Autumn Zephyr Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Alolan grimer is an incredibly solid pokemon throughout the game, sporting great Special bulk backed by a single weakness, immunity to Psychic attacks, the Poisoned Status Effect, and Prankster-boosted moves, all whilst still sporting an impressive Physical Attack stat that can be boosted with Power-Up Punch once you unlock the second Move Tutor. Certainly worth giving a chance if you haven't already. Budew is a really good option to pick up as well. Roserade's a potent Special Attacker with a couple notable tricks: Toxic Spikes setup can be handy to Badly Poison enemies and put them on a timer, while access to Nature Power allows it to take advantage of almost any Field Effect, regardless of how disadvantageous the situation would normally be. Natural access to Growth allows you to buff up your offensive capabilities even further if given enough breathing room, especially in Sunny weather. And since it's picked up as a Baby Pokémon, it'll come with a guaranteed 3 perfect IVs, making it a little less of a pain to get good stats on than most other pokemon! Picking up a plusle Once you reach Route 4 is a pretty solid idea- not because it's a good pokemon (it really isn't), but because it can be traded with an NPC on Route 2 for a chikorita. Loathe as I am to admit it (I personally despise meganium), it is a really solid support pokemon, with access to both of the classic Screens by level up, Aromatherapy for Status cleansing, and Synthesis to keep itself alive. If you do choose to use this, then make sure to choose chikorita as your starter in the Fangame Project sidequest so that you can get the Meganium Crest at the end of it. This thing is not only one of the earliest Crests available (tied with the other Johto Starters, albeit dependent on your earlier choice), but one of the better ones to boot, reducing damage taken while still supplying the benefits of Leftovers. It's a bit difficult to mess up these days, truth be told. An eevee is available before the second Gym, which means that a couple of the eeveelutions are as well. Espeon in particular should be a great help against the immediate Gym Battle, while umbreon serves a bit better against the fourth Gym thanks to its bulk and key Resistances. You'll have to wait a bit if you want jolteon, flareon, vaporeon, leafeon, or glaceon instead, unfortunately, but at least the latter two reward your patience by having access to Crests. Sylveon is a noteworthy case- like espeon, it is immediately available and works well against the second Gym, but the fact that you're given one with perfect IVs later in the games makes it a bit difficult for me to recommend picking it up here. Still, it's hard to go wrong with Pixilate Hyper Voice, so the choice is ultimately yours to make. Imposter ditto is just a fun thing to throw at bosses in general, and happens to have its quest end in Akuwa Town. Just be weary that like chikorita, there's an extremely small window between it first becoming available and being forced to continue the story and wait four more Gyms for your second chance to arise, so care is definitely needed if you want to pick it up. These are, of course, just a few options available. Rejuvenation really does a good job of giving you a wide variety to choose from pretty early on, and most pokemon have something they can bring to the table. If something catches your eye, feel free to give it a chance- you may very well be surprised by its performance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcellbestcell Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Most of the shadow pokemon will have very interesting move that can benefit a tons, like the alolan grimer the comment above me said, the beat up shadow Meowth, the tail glow fish pokemon that i forgot it's name.... and more! And there are also side quest gift pokemon like the pichu, pancham that is useful for maybe 3rd and 4th gym! Just try to 100% the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vampirevulpix Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Drapion - I managed to catch a shiny Skorupi, and ever since it's been with me, poisoning every mon, lol Other than that: the Shadow Quagsire REALLY packs a punch. The Shadow Cacnea is also good, with Leech Seed and Toxic Spikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
