myslexia Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I've been trying to brute force this fight with my current team and reserves (plus a lot of heart scales and shards for changing up movesets), but I suppose it's clear that I'm not getting past the third fight doing that considering I've been trying for a good week now I've been thinking I should just add a gastrodon and a blastoise to this team like I've been meaning to, but I'd hate to go through the effort of training another pokemon from scratch after just doing it three times for the last gym and have it do nothing lol All level 88 - Lapras / Water Absorb / Wide Lens Surf Ice Beam Sheer Cold Rain Dance - Sharpedo / Speed Boost Waterfall Aqua Jet Swagger Destiny Bond - Ampharos / Static / Zap Plate - Ampharosite Light Screen Focus Blast Thunder Dragon Pulse - Toxicroak / Dry Skin / Black Sludge Drain Punch Poison Jab Bullet Punch Gunk Shot - Brick Break - Rhyperior / Soid Rock / Leftovers Fire Fang Curse Stone Edge Earthquake - Swampert / Torrent / Assault Vest Waterfall Ice Punch Earthquake Rock Slide Some other pokemon I already have trained up in reserves: Galvantula, Mawile, Scrafty, Braviary, Aggron, Metagross, Emolga, Mamoswine, Serperior, Lucario, Sylveon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSJG Goku Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 You really need pokemon that can set up without being one hit. I'd say Aggron and if you can get the mega stone for that then that's a big help in some of the battles due to its natural bulk. Galvantula with sticky webs could help and then anything which can set up; calm mind sylveon, sd lucario, bulk up braviary, ddance scrafty etc. The current team you have, whilst good, it doesn't have anything which can set up.

Lil' Sunny Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 why do you have 3 water types? good god. I mean water is a great type, arguably the best. but 3 is overkill. I'd swap sharpedo for something. maybe a screen setter like meowstic or klefki. if i were you, i'd hinge on Ampharos. if you teach it Discharge, coupled with the mega evo and factory field it can decimate the enemy teams as long as you pair it with a ground type (or otherwise electric immune mon). Try trick room if it's a bit slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneth Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Lapras, Ludicolo, Nidoking/Excadrill, helped me a lot there. With favorable natures, good abilities, stab moves. And nice items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gastronely Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Lucario, Aegislash and Volcarona can sweep the gauntlet on their own. Nothing else to say, honestly. You could replace Lapras, Sharpedo and Toxicroak, and you'll be just fine. Also, I recommend you get the Thunderbolt TM for Ampharos in the Devon?

Building at North Obsidia Ward: https://youtu.be/GTDtvB2S3KA I was under the impression you couldn't get this TM after Agate City, so thank you so much!

Try trick room if it's a bit slow. Literally just getting a meowstic to set up trick room changed up so much for me. Still stuck on the third gaunglet but it's more of a strategy issue than anything, so at least I'm not stuck on the first one anymore and can get past pretty easily. Thank you!

That or a Lighting Rod fast mon or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything with discharge and good speed/spa (or bulk in the case of ampharos) does the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotom has both bulk, SpA and decent enough speed Also have a Golem, a Donphan and Nidorina(could evolve into Nidoqueen if i wanted) but those are underleveled as crap xD.. Maybe couple Rotom with Krook and try a Moxie sweep with EQ (Krooks moveset is EQ, Power Trip, Bulk Up and Brick Break i think)? Since it wouldnt affect Rotom because of Levitate,...

myslexia Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) I beat it!!!! Got rid of sharpedo and toxicroak (I'm usually reluctant to get rid of sharpedo bc destiny bond comes in handy so often) and replaced them with meowstic (who i really only used for trick room and helping hand) and aggron (who's thunder wave and heavy slam/fire punch were a blessing for sweeping in the final section) I appreciate the advice!! Update: my game got bugged so i have to redo it lol, but at least it won't be a struggle like before Edited June 16, 2021 by myslexia new info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
