Looking good. Sludge Wave is definitely not ideal, but you'll get the HMs for Waterfall/Dive soon, so just wait for that. Also, Hammer Arm isn't really necessary, the most important things it hits are Rock and Steel types, which EQ hits anyways. Instead, breed for Yawn/Avalanche/Curse/Endeavor. There's a pinned guide for everything breeding-related in this section, it should answer any question you may have (if not, PM me). Charge Beam and Magnet Rise can go. While Magnezone is bulky, it'll be worn down soon enough, you don't really have the time to set up. Magnet Rise would only be useful if you outsped the oposing Ground type, which, let's be real here, won't be happening. And you'll be able to buy Air Balloons soon, so just go with that. For moves to replace those 2, take your pick, you've got Thunder Wave, Mirror Coat or Hidden Power (depending on your type(try google, there's online hidden power calcs, so you can just check your IVs and use that)). For TW and MC, I'd actually recommend making your ability Sturdy. Sturdy+MirrorCoat Magneton/zone is actually a very popular choice against Arceus, takes it down in one turn. And TWave is for physical attackers you need slowed. You can also just stick with Analytic for now and switch to Sturdy when needed. If you don't have the Ability Capsules to swap that all the time, don't worry, you'll get to a place where you can trade shards for Capsules before you fight the next gym. But either way, ^^those are the moves to run. IIIIIIIIIII'd say replace it. It has a great attack stat, but it's really slow and can't take hits too well. As a replacement, Scrafty instantly comes to mind. Same speed, way bulkier, a little bit lower attack but with a much stronger STAB in High Jump Kick so it's even a little stronger. But most importantly, the moves. Not only does it have...actual coverage, unlike Pangoro, it also has Dragon Dance. Get a boost or two, have Moxie as your ability and it's game. The exact set would be Moxie with HJK, Crunch, Dragon Dance, Ice Punch/Zen Headbutt. If you want, I can come up with other recommendations for Dark or Fighting types to replace it. But if you reaaaaaaaally wanna keep Pangoro, ditch Parting Shot and the HM (you wont need a slot for it since E15 made HMs forgettable like TMs and Swampert is gonna be using Waterfall, so you can just have Swampert be your HM-er). Instead, check out that guide I mentioned and see about E12 breeding. Breed Dig and Rock Slide/Stone edge onto it. Ditch it, it's way past the point where it's worth a team slot. There are WAAAAAY better Psychic types by now. You can get Reuniclus, Alakazam before you fight the next gym, Gothitelle, Sigilyph, Swoobat, Metagross before you fight the next gym and Malamar. And Delphox 4 gyms from where you are. -Reuniclus should be obvious just by looking at it's stats. Hits hard, takes hits. Yes, it's really slow, but it gets Trick Room, which not only makes it almost impossible to "outspeed", but it can also help out your team's slower members. For a set, Regenerator/Magic Guard with Psychic, Shadow Ball, Trick Room, Calm Mind/Hidden Power/Energy Ball(E12). -Alakazam is kind of a fast frail Reuniclus. Thus inferior because Reuniclus can patch up it's speed while Alakazam will always be frail. Run Psychic, Shadow Ball, Hidden Power, Energy Ball(E12). -Gothitelle is best with Calm Mind, which it can set up well because of it's great bulk. Psychic, SB, Calm Mind, Energy Ball(E12)/Thunderbolt(E12). -Sigilyph does things differently. It's got a nice set in Cosmic Power, Stored Power, Charge Beam, Air Slash. The idea is to get your bulk up with CP (which is rather easy with it's good speed), get up your Sp.Atk with Charge Beam and then spam 380 BP Stored Power (or Air Slash/Charge Beam if your foe resists it). Buuuuuut, if you don't mind a not-Psychic type replacing Meowstic, get a Clefable. It also uses CP, SP and Charge Beam, but gets Minimize. So you can be almost unhittable, on top of having max defenses and Sp.Atk. More buffs also mean a more powerful SP, which is 500 BP. -Swoobat is...iffy, but it can REALLY pay off. Yes, it's frail and not too strong, but it's ability Simple doubles all stat changes and it's fast as hell, so you can easily use Calm Mind to double your Sp.Def and Sp.Atk, making you really bulky and strong really quickly. Simple with Calm Mind, Psychic/Stored Power, Air Slash and Hidden Power/Charge Beam/Endeavor. Note that Simple doubles effectiveness of buffs, not number, so +3 Sp.Atk with Simple is the same as regular +6, so setting up more than 3 CMs is pointless, but Stored Power still calculates it as just +3, so SP after 3 CMs will still be 140 BP, not 260 (which is why Charge Beam can be handy, the buffs don't change your Sp.Atk past 3, but can power up SP). -Metagross is pretty simple, Agility, Meteor Mash, Zen Headbutt, Brick Break/Hammer Arm. -Contrary Malamar with Superpower, Knock Off, Psycho Cut, Light Screen/Rock Slide(E12)/Destiny Bond. This one is the most unreliable, as it can't really deal with special attackers at all (unless you use Light Screen) and is rather weak before getting some Contrary Superpoewr boosts. Stealth Rocks are useless. They're great in competitive, but in-game, no one ever switches around, except for the player. Why waste a turn to do 12% to all foes if you can kill one instead. Get Heavy Slam instead. Also, since you have Sturdy+Explosion, go back to the Obsidia Department Store and stack up on some Normal Gems. Unless you want a replacement? Cause there's definitely better. Archeops, Tyrantrum, Aurorus, Krookodile, Nidoking and Mamoswine all hit way harder, Gigalith has no STAB on EQ (which it gets via E12) but is better in all other regards, Rhyperior is just a better Golem in every way, Torterra has actually exsitent Sp.Def. Want me to go into detail on any of them? Mmmmmm, nah. Heatmor can be really good if you have a Trick Room thing AND you give it some of it's best tutor moves, but we just don't have the second. For replacements, there's Ninetales, Arcanine, Darmanitan, Delphox and Chandelure. -Ninetales main draw is really strong Fire moves thanks to Drought. Just give it a STAB, Energy Ball (E12), Hidden Power (ideally Rock or Ground), Nasty Plot/Extrasensory. Also, if you're using Ninetales, I'd strongly recommend replacing Magnezone with Heliolisk, Solar Power Heliolisk is insanely good. -Agility, Flare Blitz, Close Combat, Outrage. -Now here's some power! The rule with Darmanitan is if you can outspeed, you can kill. 140 base Attack, Sheer Force, Flare Blitz. For other moves, Superpower, Dig(E12), Rock Slide(E12) it is. -Psychic, some Fire STAB, Grass Knot (TM sometime before Delphox itself), Shadow Ball. -Chadnelure is really good if you have a Trick Room setter such as Reuniclus. Just look at that Sp.Atk stat. For moves, some Fire STAB (Flamethrower TM soon), Shadow Ball, Energy Ball(E12), Psychic(E12)/Hidden Power/Minimize. For your rotation, no Simisear, it'd be terrible even if it had Crunch. And for your Banette, it's pointless to have both Sucker Punch and Shadow Sneak, they have almost the same power cause of STAB and have exactly the same Super-effective coverage. Also, non-Mega Banette is pretty bad and the Mega is at it's best when it can spam Shadow Claw in Trick Room. Luckily for you, you can get Banettite soon-ish. Unluckily, no signs of the Mega Ring yet. Don't bother with Gardevoir IMO. It's like Gothitelle +Fairy STAB, -a LOT of bulk. Roserade is really good. Run Technician instead of Poison Point. That way, any Hidden Power you get will be 90 BP and, since it's defenses really aren't that great (well, Sp.Def is, but it's HP is bad, so you're back to neutral), run Magical Leaf instead, it's great for doubles and has 90 BP cause of Technician. Also, E12 nets you Sludge Bomb and Extrasensory.

The Chikorita line is actually my favorite starter line...it's really not the most useful line, but I just like them. Perhaps the only line where I don't completely ignore the design and only focus on usefulness (which is why I can like Delphox). For everything else, I dislike Froakie and Chespin, I pity Oshawott and "pity" Sceptile, and absolutely loathe all gen 1 starters. -Greninja is not even that hard-hitting, Protean and it's high speed make it more of an annoyance than anything. -Chesnaught is...Chesnaught. Everything about it screams annoying staller, from the stats, over the movepool, to the ability. And that's what you get~ -Samurott's tale is a sad one. Great movepool, great offensive stats (by starter standards) and pretty equal offensive stats so you can run it both ways. But it has no speed and the fact that Razor Shell, something I'd see as the perfect signature-move for it, was also given to Shelder. As if they didn't even consider it deserving of a neat move to help it out, like it was doomed to suck since day one. -With Sceptile...well, I'd feel bad for this Special attacker getting barely any special moves, but they gave it a Mega that cranks up it's offensive stats like crazy, so it's back to neutral in my book. And hey, at least it's not in a situation like Kyurem-B, not having ANY physical Ice-STAB. -I absolutely loathe the gen 1 starters. Really. Firstly, you have people (mostly genwunners) that go nuts the moment one of them is even mentioned, to the point that just listening to them for more than 2 second can make you hate them, even if you don't know what they are at that point (hence why I will never ever ever watch Star Wars)(hence why I also depsise Blaziken). Next up, they're not even that good! Look at their stats, you have Blastoise that's got some bulk, but has pathetic offenses. Venusaur is just as sad offensively since it doesn't even have a Poison STAB without TMs/Breeding. Or a really good special Grass STABs. What it's moveset does get is a bunch of stall-tools. Ew. Charizard has alright offensive stats, but they're nothing to write home about and it's movepool is terrible. It's Gen 6 and it still doesn't get Air Slash unless you Heart Scale it! It does have Dragon Dance, but it's pitiful with that Attack stat. There's no reason to keep it, just replace it with any Flying or Fire type you happen to find, chances are it'll be much better. Hell, Heatmor is better! Slightly worse bulk, better overall offensive stats, great coverage with stuff like Giga Drain, Sucker Punch, Superpower, etc. It's speed is maybe the only real issue, but even then, Heatmor can work in Trick Room, Charizard is in that limbo where it's too fast for TR, too slow outside of it. -And the Megas just make it worse. Venusaur is the most disgusting staller in the entire game IMO, Blastoise got coverage so many would kill for just cause it's a beloved Gen1 starter that also gets a Mega, and with Charizard, why the hell does it get 2 Megas??? Everything else is fine. Even as many people seemingly dislike Emboar, it is ugly, but it's alright. Hits really hard with stuff like Reckless Flare Blitz, gets Sucker Punch to help it's speed along, etc.

Try Youtube. I know the videos on that puzzle are old, but I'm preeeeeetty sure the puzzle was only changed graphically since then. And try the search feature here. I'm not sure, but I think there's a complete puzzle guide around.

All Odor Sleuth does is make Ghost-types hittable by Normal and Fighting moves and removes any evasion buffs, so it's completely worthless. Especially on something as frail as Mightyena, better attack on each of the few turns it has before going down.

The earliest you can get to 7th Street is when the story wants you to, after the 10th gym.

Nah, Reborn tries to be as close to the main games as possible, mechanics-wise. So you have Gen 6 breeding, Gen 6 crits, etc, etc.

Almost all game-worlds that are interesting are super messed-up/deadly. And since this question is about where you'd like to live and most worlds would make the average joe a dead man, without the protagonists plot-armor, respawns and saves...Pokemon? Or Digimon.

Yeah, no, keep that. Those IVs are great. Nature is arguable, some people would prefer Adamant for power, but IMO, it's better to go for speed and actually hit something, than to be outsped and killed before you get to do anything.

Well, they only had contact in the part of the story where El wanted all of us to side with him against Radomus, and you don't get someone on your side by saying how much you don't like them (if he even has anything against Adrienn).

Yeah, no, figured as much. Just making sure, since you specifically mentioned Legendaries and banned 'mons in the line I quoted, but not Megas.

Well, if it's a great game. Yeah, it's difficulty is...not really comparable with ORAS But we have the entire Team Showcase section and a Gym Leader Help Thread if they need help, so they could give it a shot. Though maybe have them look into some more casual fan-game first, cause I could see newcomers thinking that the difficulty and especially the level-cap are a hassle. Look around, see what you can find, give 'em Zeta/Omicron (even though it takes 5 days to beat) or something like that first.

I don't mean to sound dickish, but...your point? The game won't be made harder since most people do have trouble. It won't be made easier (which you don't want anyways), because the difficulty is one of Reborn's main selling points. As has been stated, how difficult the game is depends on your team and your skill. So if you made a topic just to say you had an easy time...yay? Good for you. If you made a topic because you want something harder, there's this, I guess. Or get into competitive.

-Cain is the only one that doesn't say "hi I'm Reborn's *insert position*, related to *insert character*" the moment you meet him (unlike Ame, Julia and Victoria, who immediately tell you they're a manager/leader/student), so I thought that his role in the plot would literally be "just some guy". Some random jolly fella who likes Poison-types and is doing the league challenge, but still shows up frequently. -Couldn't tell Solaris and Sirius apart for the life of me. Even now, I tell 'em apart by presence of eyepatch or fancy coat. -It's not really something I thought, but I certainly hoped Heather would just disappear somehow. From the second she started ignoring people and only saying "..." when talked to, I was instantly reminded of that pest from Suikoden 2 that did the same. I love Suikoden 2, but never touch the game just because of 2 characters, one of which is that one. At least you can just not talk to Heather. -Thought rather lowly of Ciel, till I saw what you get if you talk to her at the end of E15.

Could we make that 0 Pokemon? You could argue that stuff like Scald burns are as haxy as freezing, but with Scald, you expect it, it has a 30% chance and, while it sucks, you can play around a lucky burn somewhat. But a freeze is just...you can't play around that nearly as well as you would with a Scald burn. If you get frozen, it's not like fighting 5VS6, it's 5+1-set-up-fodderVS6. So could it be a Mega?

Fite me it's pretty good actually. Rather fast, very specially bulky, great movepool (especially if you do E12 breeding, so you can have Scald, Sludge Bomb and Hex). Also, the Swords Dance set is fun as hell and...surprisingly good.

Sweet, a new league! It's gonna be awesome, I'm gonna challenge ot with my favorite team and- oh, right, no Megas. Oh well, I'll just grab a last-gen team and tweak it a bi- what's that, no legendaries? W-well, I was always looking for a reason to really learn Team Building, so let's- right, I have exams till the 25th...how long did you say a season lasts?

Actually, Sudowoodo may be your only option for beating Kiki. All Rock types you can get by that point would be outsped and killed in 1, maybe 2 hits. But Sudowoodo is one of the only 3 Pokemon to get both Sturdy and Counter (the other 2 being Donphan which you can't use and Bastiodon, which you can't get by that point). Honestly, your only option to beat her might be 5 Sudowoodo and something for her Lucario (cause it's special iirc?).

You can look through your game's folders for that (Graphics>Battlers). Looks like a Seel.

Cheat Engine is completely clean. Some antiviruses report it just because it's a hacking tool.

Pretty sure you only need to take it in E12. You got the egg, it's already out of the day-care, so the moves and all should be determined already.
