  1. Oh god, Truant is actually useful

      Yeah unless you're retarded that trick doesn't work XD.

      Dude, I'm just surprised that an ability like that has uses is all.

  2. Waterfall and Dive have the same power and Waterfall's flinch chance is useless with Swampert's low speed. Dive is also way easier to get, especially because getting both bred onto Swampert is currently impossible, but from E13 onward, both parents will be able to pass on moves. I also think Amaura is a pain to get, you have to find a Helix fossil, only obtainable through mining at a very, very low rate.
  3. Less Zephy. No Zephy right now. More Pineapple!
  4. Actually, of all of those, only Excadril is weak to fighting, while everything else I listed is also neutral to it at worst, Gengar is even immune to it. With Drill Peck, Empoleon can at least do serious damage to a fighting type before going down, especially if you use Agility to make sure you get at least one hit on it. And Durant is freaking amazing, Attack, Defense and Speed above 100 +50% more Attack with Hustle, 512 foes are hit super-effectively with it's STAB and Rock and Ground moves, and an amazing defensive typing, with only one weakness and plenty of resistances. As for Swampert, you can go physical or special, really. Physical Swampert could have Dive, Hammer Arm, Earthquake and Rock Slide/Double-Edge. Get the Tirtouga from the Circus puzzle to breed Rock Slide. Special Swampert would have Water Pledge, Ice Beam, Sludge Wave and Ancient Power/Mud Bomb/Hidden Power. Your best Ground STAB would be Mud Bomb, but you do get a strong Ice attack. Still, I'd recommend a Physical set. EDIT: Just to note, I'm using Dive, Hammer Arm, Earthquake adn Sludge Wave. I taught it Sludge Wave for Noel's Clefairy and kept it for lack of a better breeding-less move. EDIT2: I'd also say you shouldn't have to worry about Fighting moves so much. Not only are we past the Fighting Gym already, Alakazam and Blaziken cover that weakness nicely. My team has 3 Rock weaknesses and I'm not worrying about the Hardy fight because I have my ways to cover that type easily.
  5. 1. Scarp Blaze Kick for Flare Blitz, way better power and accuracy. Instead of Bluk Up, you could breed for Baton Pass to give the speed boosts to someone else or Night Slash to hit Psychic types hard. You don't really need to sweep, If Blaziken can take out even 2 foes, the rest of your team can handle the rest. Baton Pass would actually help your team a lot, since it's rather slow. 2.There's an item in the Obsidia Dept. Store that increases the holders accuracy if it goes last. With that, High Jump Kick has 99% accuracy. You could breed a Hitmonchan with a Buneary, then that with Scrafty to get the 3 elemental punches onto Scrafty. You could aslo breed for Zen Headbutt. 3.Metal Sound and Screech are worth looking at. They halve the foes (sp)defense, essentially doubling your attack against that foe. With Analytic, Thunder Wave may not be that great, but it can help the rest of the team. Charge Beam can have almost perfect accuracy with the item I mentioned. 4.You could use a Smeargle to get Rock Slide as well as Ice Shard onto Donphan. I'd recommend using Knock Off as well, especially because you already have an electric attacker and Sunny Day only helps one move of your entire team, Blaze Kick, while weakening another, Surf. I'd say there's better Ground types than Donhpan. 5. You could swap Charge Beam for Calm Mind, it's guaranteed to increase Sp.Atk, as well as increase Sp.Def. Even super-effectively, Charge Beam is weaker than neutral Psychic due to STAB. Reflect is also very useful, esoecialy with Light Clay. 6. It's not certain we'll get Surf in the next episode, so don't get your hopes up too high. Really, without TMs, Vaporeon isn't all that good, IMO. I'd say swap Donphan and Vaporeon. Instead of Vaporeon, you could get either a Swampert or an Empoleon. Empoleon can have a much better moveset than Vaporeon, I'm thinking Scald, Ice Beam, Agility and Drill Peck. Get a Simipour and teach it Scald, as well as a Remoraid and Ice Beam. Hit a wild male Smeargle with Scald so Sketch copies it, but make sure Smeargle survives. Catch that Smeargle. Level Smeargle to the next x1 level, as Smeargle learns Sketch every x1 level (11,21,31, etc.). Encounter a new Smeargle, use Ice Beam on it. The wild Smeargle will Sketch Ice Beam, switch your Smeargle in and Sketch it's Ice Beam. You'll then have a male Smeargle with Ice Beam and Scald. Then, breed that male Smeargle with a female Buizel, level a new male Buizel to learn Agility and breed that with a female Piplup. If the gender of any "breeding components" is wrong, breed it with a Ditto and wait for a Pokemon with proper gender. Instead of Donphan, I'd recommend a Durant with Hustle (breed with Crustle/Shuckle for Rock Slide), Excadrill (breed with Smeargle/Zangoose for X-Scissor), Crustle with Shell Smash and Weak Armor (breed with Geodude for Earthquake), Archeops (breed Wooper with Corsola, then Corsola with Archeops for an Archeops with Earthquake), Crobat (maybe go Special by breeding Nasty Plot onto it), Drapion (breed with Ninjask for Swords Dance), Gengar (breed a Stunfisk which learned Thunderbolt with a Grimer, then level the new Grimer until it learns Sludge Bomb and breed it with gastly to have it learn Thunderbolt and Sludge Bomb), Nidoking with Sheer Force (breed with Smeargle for Ice Beam and Thunderbolt), Leavanny (get it next update, in E12 Sticky Web doesn't work and Sewaddle doesn't learn it, both will be fixed for E13)... There's a few more options, but that should do it.
  6. Even the merchant in the bottom left=?
  7. Ummm, so? The point of topics like this is to have people suggest improvements to the submitted teams. The title also makes it obvious that he's already beaten Luna, so if your post is supposed to be advice, it isn't necessary.
  8. I'm at 40-ish hours, including breeding 2-3 times and going for a few out-of-the-way pokemon like Beldum and Solosis, with 5 or so hours of grinding total (iirc). ...although I did use guides on some of the puzzles if I wound up stuck on them for 15 minutes or more.
  9. Mysidia railcave. Check the forums to find a specific guide. EDIT: by the way, you can also use a smeargle, a zangoose or a Drilbur to get Swords Dance onto Blaziken
  10. In 7th street, you can change your squad's Natures. Id necessary, buy some Blast Powder and mine for some Heart Scales. Definitely get Blaziken Flare Blitz when it gets to level 66. Or do it now if you have a spare Heart Scale. You could also breed either Baton Pass to give someone else those speed boosts or Night Slash to hit Psychic types hard. Since your Gogoat has Bulk Up, swap Rock Smash for Aerial Ace. For set-up move users, coverage is the most important. Grass, Ground and Flying have perfect coverage. To get Rock Slide onto it, have a male Drulbur learn it, then breed it with a female Gogoat. I'd also recommend swapping it's Ability to Sap Sipper. Grassy Fields are only present on Route 1 for now. Empoleon can have a much better moveset, I'm thinking Scald, Ice Beam, Agility and Drill Peck. Get a Simipour and teach it Scald, as well as a Remoraid and Ice Beam. Hit a wild male Smeargle with Scald so Sketch copies it, but make sure Smeargle survives. Catch that Smeargle. Level Smeargle to the next x1 level, as Smeargle learns Sketch every x1 level (11,21,31, etc.). Encounter a new Smeargle, use Ice Beam on it. The wild Smeargle will Sketch Ice Beam, switch your Smeargle in and Sketch it's Ice Beam. You'll then have a male Smeargle with Ice Beam and Scald. Then, breed that male Smeargle with a female Buizel, level a new male Buizel to learn Agility and breed that with a female Piplup. If the gender of any "breeding components" is wrong, breed it with a Ditto and wait for a Pokemon with proper gender. Change Crobat's ability. You could also breed it with a Noctowl for Zen Headbutt if you want. I'd say change Gothitelle's ability to Shadow Tag. You might be able to get a good Hidden Power instead of Charge Beam. Get a Spiritomb and breed it with Cofagrigus to get a Cofagrigus with Nasty Plot, maybe Memento as well if you want that, although Shadow Ball, Dark Pulse, Nasty Plot and Will-o-Wisp seems like the best possible set to me.
  11. You could also have a Mothim learn Psychic and breed that onto a Yanma/Yanmega.
  12. Go back and get an Ekans/Arbok. Screech, Glare, a Dark move and maybe a Fang move through the tutor can be very helpful for the double battle and for tha next gym as well.
  13. Get Venomoth. On my Poison mono, my Venomoth beat half her team on it's own. I'm pretty sure no Pokemon in Aya's squad learns moves that hit Venomothe Super-effectively while Venomoth learns Psychic attacks.

    In the Pokedex, non-Shiny sprites are shown. To take a look at the shinies, you can go to your game's folder>Graphics>Battlers.
  15. Last time I saw him was 2 hours ago, he was around the "Pokemon Veterans Retirement Home"...which is full, guess I'm staying here. Got any idea where he could be, Rose?
  16. I'm deleting my account to get to safety. Farewell, Reborn. I'll miss you guys.... Especially Sheep.
  17. Ooooooh~ Spooookyyy~
  18. Oh! I get it. I forgot that E11 ended immediately after Radomus, my bad. In that case, go to the Lapis Ward. Talk to the Leader of whatever gang you joined. The rest should be clear after wards. Sorry for making you walk all the way back to Route 1.
  19. The only condition is having fought and defeated Luna. Go to the tree in Vanhannen Labirynth to reach her area. Bring someone with Rock Smash. After you've beaten her, Cain will be at the checkpoint.
  20. Just found out that Gardevoir can also be male...what the hell, Nintendo?

      ...Is there... something wrong with that? It's a Pokemon, not a person.

      Just look at it. LOOK AT IT!

  21. Roserade doesn't learn Sludge Wave by TM. As for a replacement for Crustle, I'd have two recommendations. Durant has 109 Attack, 109 Speed and 112 Defense and a Steel typing, allowing it to do great damage and easily take physical hits. It also has the ability Hustle, so it's attack power is further boosted by 50%. The drawbacks are Hustle's 20% accuracy decrease and it's 48 Special defense. But believe me, it's worth it, as it's pros far outweight it's cons. It also learns moves like Iron Head, X-Scissor, Dig, Crunch and Rock Slide (bred through Crustle/Shuckle for RS). There's also Archeops. 140 Attack and 110 Speed. It's Defeatist ability is rather unfortunate, but relatively easy to manage in Reborn. It learns stuff like Acrobatics, Rock Slide, Crunch, U-Turn, Dragon Claw, Endeavor and Earthquake (breed a Quagsire/Swampert with Corsola, then that Corsola with Archen for EQ).
  22. Please stop talking about birds, be considerate of Leavannies accross the world. #Tolerance Perhaps those blessed by our Lord Xatu would be able to teach you about peace and coexistence. PWB?
