So with the second half of my senior year in high school in process and finished applications I've officially lost any remaining motivation to do anything beside what I want to and this is something I've wanted to do for A WHILE. I've already defeated reborn normal mode a couple of times and have constantly tried hardcore but keep running out of time or out of love for my run. In a last ditch effort I've decided to tackle the ever evasive flying mono that I don't see as much around the forums. The rules for the run are simple: Must use all flying type pokemon or pokemon who evolve into a flying type(gotta get my charizard) Must beat all major boss fights(especially Solaris/Arceus) Non-flying types can still be caught for hm or ability purposes outside of battles(dat phanpy pick up army) Without further ado, The Team: Lysandre the Charmeleon: the nearly unstoppable starter of the team. He really helped against some of the initial major fights with electric pokemon like Eclipse's Electabuzz and Julia's Electrode thanks to Dragon Rage's HUGE effect early game. Pidgeotto: first pokemon I caught and one of the few ones without a nickname due a dispute between Noel and BrdJsus. Sand Attack actually gives me some serious openings in some of the more intense battles; coupled with decent speed it proves somewhat useful now and should get a boost later once it evolves into Pidgeot Noctowl: the second pokemon I caught and a serious powerhouse on my team. Its one of the few flying types early game with the defense to take multiple hits from Julia's Emolga and survive a rock slide from Florinia's Cradily: combined with echo voice noctowl has carried in some of my battles so far Anna the Swoobat: a classic swoobat simple strategy in the making. The moment she gets Calm Mind I'm anticipating some serious sweeping. Happy the Butterfree: every boy needs his flying pet bug and my favorite is butterfree. With Julia's immunity to sleep and poison and all of the grass types in the second gym I haven't gotten the chance to use some of its powder moves but I'm expecting it to get better later on in the game with quiver dance. Noibat: the baby dragon of the team and a pretty reliable one at that. Noibat has managed to have some fairly good timing with supersonic and screech which has saved me in some tight situations. Once I hit Noivern its gonna get some sweet revenge against all those other noibat that bullied it during training. In Rotation: Jump the Skiploom Tranquill Surskit Arrow the Fearow Summary 1-1.5: Yeah, as far as the team goes I've been pretty busy since I've finally been getting into a run thanks to the difficulty from hardcore. I've managed to make it all the way to the second gym so far after finally knocking out Julia to the ground(Noctowl+ SuperSpecialDefense + Uproar+ Noibat+Supersonic+Screech+Charmeleon+DR==ReallyLongEquation/Win). Prior to the first gym and between the first and second gym everything pretty much falls to a couple of dragon rages from Lysandre or a couple of echoed voices from Noctowl. I'm currently in the process of preping to beat Florinia. I've had to restart once so far but I think a little training with some of my pokemon and common candies should get me the moves I need to win. -Till next time.

Land, Steel, and Fire: Torterra, Metagross, and Volcarona all the way to that hall of fame

Name: Backpacker Erick Team: Grotle, rhyhorn, metang -"Lemme show you what I've learn through my travels!" -Winning line: "Traveling is the key to strength, you should do a little more of it" -Losing line: "Guess that's another lesson learned for my next battle"

My first couple of runs I went with yamask mummy + fear rattata but I've migrated more toward using bulky pokemon like gourgeist to wear garchomp down

I know it was kind of said in its relation to sigilyph but am I gotta say unknown is pretty weird. Its like night of the museum but with hieroglyphics coming to life.

If you have some extra time I've been dying to get my episode 15 team on one of these cool designs: Torterra Volcarona Rhyperior Claydol Metagross(reborn shiny sprite if possible) Abomasnow And Kuro's Reborn sprite -Thanks

Last time I took it I got INTJ-The Architect but this time I got ISTJ-The Logician, point is I'm anti-social

Great to meet you! Good luck with the shiny hunt-"may the RNG be ever in your favor"

Awesome thread dude-you hit the major points that I wish I knew starting out. And as far as redirection-beware the mighty pachirisu

Steel, Water, and Fire

You need to talk to the officer behind the desk first and then the officer below him should offer the trade. If you're still having trouble with shelly you could always train growlithe to learn flame burst-works wonders

RIP Iwata, your heart lives on in the spirit of pokemon

I'm pretty sure you have to beat Julia before you can catch numel

Welcome! (originally thought this would be an anime discussion about how tucker should've beaten ash that one bf episode but this is way better)

It should be on the lowest level of the main moutain, its either hidden in one of the rocks or sitting there. Might be near heatmor

Sounds bout that time to bust out the FEAR rattata and mummy yamask-gg

Last time I checked the max he has is 4.

I'd add another fire type to your team like one of the ones found in the team aqua/magma event

My signature pokemon would be greninja replaceing my old ace kingdra
