MrStormy Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I've been doing intense mode hardcore nuzlockes for about half a year now and the venam fight was always a consistent 1HKO with herdier as long as you had above 0 IVs in atk and speed. I'm not saying that I wanted it to remain an incredibly easy fight but with the pokemon available I don't see a world in which I come out with more than 1 pokemon alive. Spoink in worthless due to alolan grimer, seviper takes too much damage and is unreliable at best with iron tail, no starters evolve due to the level cap so no braixen, hoothoot is an absolute joke and the nidos are literal infant rats due to the level cap as well. I'm stuck, anyone have literally any idea that would be at least work 10% of the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vum Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) Maybe if you get woobat and geodude? Maybe chingling but its a low percent encounter also just try not losing mons against random trainers by overleveling to the cap as soon as possible and just use reverse candies if something goes up the lvl cap by your rules But I dont think this is really possible without insane amount of luck and not being able to ev train makes it even more luck based and harder Edited July 17, 2021 by Vum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also braixen does evolve at the level cap and vivillion can be good with confusion. But the most important thing is ev training imo. in v13 you cannot access geodude, woobat or vivillion, the EV cards are unbuyable, in fact you can't even get speed or hp, the lvl cap is 15 and starters evolve at lvl 16 and I don't even know if you can get a chingling during the night anymore, I got a hoothoot which wasn't available before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AccursedMuffin Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 The powder moves (Poison Powder, Stun Spore and Sleep Powder) become 100% accurate on the corrosive field, so maybe try Butterfree or something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give this a try but caterpie's rates seem to be astronomically low, specially for a mon that needs as many IV's as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
