fir3princ3ss Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I'm about to face Cal now that I've reached the Apophyll region. I've decided to use Onyx as one of my team members for the fight and the one I have has the Weak Armor ability. Do you all think that ability is ok? I guess I just don't like that I lose defense with it, although the speed boost is nice if Onyx is just faster than his opponent. Any thoughts/opinions? This is the first challenging Pokemon game I've played so thinking how to use abilities to the best of their use is new to me and I could use the help!

Zabre Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Hey there, Personally, i never used onyx on my main team, mostly it only served as support ( with its sturdy ability ). Also, i think golem/ gigalith/ rhyperior is a better choice as onyx total stats is kinda low. But, since you want to use him as part of your main team, weak armor should be quite good since his base speed is 70 ( i still prefer sturdy tho ). Good luck on your playthrough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fir3princ3ss Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 That's true. If he's going to be one of my main Pokemon then perhaps Weak Armor would be better just to help with the slower speed. Especially with a higher defense, Onyx should be able to handle a few defense reductions. Thanks for the input! I'm having a lot of fun with Reborn, especially because it's forcing me to think of these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espeon Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 If you are thinking of evolving the Onix into a Steelix sometime in the future, you might also want to mind that Weak Armor turns into Sheer Force on Steelix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fir3princ3ss Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Oh wow that's good to know thank you! Just looked up the ability and that seems really good. Sounds like I'll be keeping Weak Armor since I will evolve Onix once I can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
