chaotic_crusader Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I'm currently having trouble beating Kiki. My team right now is Blazekin (Lv 43), Meowstic (Female) (Lv 42), Ampharos (Lv 42), Floatzel (Lv 42), Drapion (Lv 42), and Roselia (Lv 42). I'm guessing I should replace Drapion for this fight but with what. Are there any other suggestions for replacements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just level your mons and try the fight a couple more times. Edited March 28, 2021 by Aariq *more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mining kit is in the Grand Stairway, along with a crap ton of rocks. Roserade should be a big help in a battle against the Fighting leader. Although, remember Machamp, Lucario and Medicham (Of course) know a Psychic move. Edited March 28, 2021 by Aariq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seel The Deal Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Actually, Drapion (or really any Dark type) is amazing for this fight. All of her mons that use Strength as their Fighting STAB are helpless against it, as the move is part Psychic on this field. This includes Machamp, Gallade, and Toxicroak (and Medicham, but it also knows Drain Punch). Teach it Facade via TM to hit Toxicroak and you're golden. This turns the battle into an effective 5v3 and Blaziken should have little trouble cleaning up with Bulk Up + Speed Boost. If Drapion can't beat those mons outright for some reason, use it as a pivot to absorb Strength and heal up the rest of your team. And as was already said - you can evolve your Roselia at this point, which won't be massive for this battle but will be a huge help in the future.

How do I get Facade and where else I mine rocks for Dawn Stones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seel The Deal Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Facade is sold in the Game Corner over in the Onyx Ward, while rocks can be found all over the region - under the Grand Staircase, in the mountains both south of Shade's gym and north of Corey's, in the cave on the northern side of Apophyll Beach. You'll find more shortly after Kiki too, and eventually you'll get access to items which let you "retry" a particular mining rock once. When looking for a specific item from mining rocks, you can save just before trying, and reload if you don't get what you need, essentially giving you infinite tries. Although - I think I was a bit too hasty saying you can evolve at this point, I forgot Shiny Stones aren't actually in the mining pool yet (E19 iirc is adding Shiny/Dawn/Dusk/Ice). Your first one is immediately AFTER Kiki, on Azurine Island. My bad lol (if you want a Roselia replacement just to get through this fight, Vileplume is easy to get, very bulky and comes with Sleep Powder, though I wouldn't bother anyway since 5/6 mons have Psychic moves) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToDie Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Jynx was my MVP against Kiki. Psychic hits hard and the speed is decent. Still a glass cannon though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaotic_crusader Posted March 30, 2021 Author Share Posted March 30, 2021 Are there any items I can find that would power up my Meowstic's Psychic moves (no mining)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seel The Deal Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 You could buy a Metronome at the department store, powering up consecutive attacks. 3rd floor, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaotic_crusader Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) Do you think Noibat or Medicham would be good for this fight? Edited March 31, 2021 by chaotic_crusader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seel The Deal Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Noibat is waaaaay too weak for this fight, being an unevolved Zubat equivalent, but you can switch train (or Rare Candy) over the level cap to evolve it, then Common Candy back to 45. Medicham can't actually get a (good) Psychic move until a bit later (needs to either breed with Kadabra for Psycho Cut, or visit the relearner for Zen Headbutt), but its High Jump Kick will still hit like a freight train and it can get +3 attack using Meditate so it should still do great.
