Welcome to Reborn! I think you'll find your Fairys are quite the contrast to the somewhat bleak wasteland that most of reborn is... Not the actually community, mind you, but just the region in game. On the note of the community, you can leave your sanity outside since you won't be needing it here. Based on your little intro, I'd recommend you check out the Role-Play and Creative Writing forums. Feel free to hang you with us on the server! There tends to be a decent number of people on at most times and if it ever seems like no one's around, just type a message or two in the chat to get the conversation going. I hope you enjoy your stay here in Reborn! Remember to always rise again from the ashes!

My guess on the E4 line up (in no particular order, bar the champ,): Anna El Bennett Heather Champ: Lin, a rival, or a character yet to be encountered Heather and El are practically given to be E4. Bennett was known to be working with El to move his way up in the world and then mysteriously Laura gets fired. Coincidence? Probably not. Anna is obviously a strong trainer. but she's more of a manipulator than an actual fighter at this point. She could mop the floor with quite a few of the meteors, but she's allowing the PC to defeat them to make like a Tyrell and grow strong. Also, Anna is a Psychic specialist, and as such, she is associated with the common psychic trainer's characteristics of possessing enhanced mental abilities. She, like Radomus, is playing a game of chess with pieces other than the inanimate stones. She is playing the game with people, specifically she moves the PC towards getting to the other side of the board so he/she/xe may become a Queen and defeat the Meteors and Sigmund, her foes, while she is somewhat restricted. She is the king in this respect. She is capable of destroying anything which gets too close, but there is a limit to her powers. If she is caught unaware or stuck from where she could not defend, she would fall. And so she uses Noel, the PC, the Sister Trio, Shelly, Cal, Victoria, Cain, Aya, Heather, and Hardy as her chess pieces to instrument her victory over the Meteors. Well if she's so strong, why can't she just rush on out into the fray and destroy all who oppose her? Well, because she's not the strongest. That's the champion, assumedly Lin, who is the king of the opposite side. She must allow her allies to become stronger so together they may defeat their foes. Eventually, the PC will become strong enough to challenge the E4, and, eventually, the PC will instrument a Checkmate. Bam. That's a metaphor for ya.

Dan, you're easiky one of the most dedicated members of this community and all of us truly appreciate all the blood, sweat, tears, and toil you put into this community and all associated items. I only wish we coukd thank you more than this.

So I guess the Community Release would be like a "Gamma Test" then, keeping in the theme of Greek letters? I like it, especially since the people who are on this forum tend to be far more interested in Reborn than any who don't join the forum.

Chatot can be quite a monster with a little breeding to get Boomburst and Nasty Plot. Also Honchkrow/Murkrow. Honchkrow does powerful damage and Murkrow has prankster.

Nope there is no PvP feature (as of yet, anyway). If you want though, you can take your Reborn team and recreate it on Showdown! or any other simulator and battle your friends there with the same teams. Edit: Also, welcome to the forums! I can see it's your first post, so go ahead and introduce yourself in The Grand Hall!

WAIT WAIT WAIT. I THINK I SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING. YOU'RE GOING TO GO ALL LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS ON FERN'S UNFORTUNATE BEING. DO IT.

Multi hit moves also destroy all Shedinjas. Specifically Rock Blast.

Report V: This Link So I made yet more progress! Yay for finally temporarily overcoming procrastination! Hip hip... hurrah! More to the point, I'm now at Serra. Obviously, this leaves me in a bit of a pickle since I obviously want to trash her when she's at full strength. But fear not, loyal followers! I have a solution that will still allow me to progress and take advantage of my momentary burst of energy like a Tyrantrum using Bide while still destroying Serra even at her full strength! The solution is simple: I make a copy of my save and then I progress through Serra for now. When Episode 15 comes out officially, I will load on up my save at Serra and fight her there. Bing bang boom. Easy peasy. Now we can actually do something. At last report, I had just defeated Aya and was left wanting. Here I was hoping the next boss battle would let me feel fulfilled in some way. No such luck. Because of my crippling conscience, I can't just leave an innocent behind without literally being wracked by guilt for many hours irl. So I was forced to save Heather. Honestly, Doctor Shocker was not that hard, but that may be due to the fact that I brought two ground types with me. Also I set up +6 Attack/+4 Defense on Torterra because Luxray used Swagger on me after many curses. Electrivire's Ice Punch was then able to do roughly 20% per punch and no Electric attack was going to kill it so that was practically a guaranteed win. Especially since I have Synthesis on Torterra. Anyway, we rescued the kids, grabbed a Corrupted Poke Ball to restore when I stop by the Poke Ball shop next time, and crashed at the house of the Leader Sister Trio. Simple enough. We went into the town to get some meds for a sick Anna and then we run into El, one of my least favorite characters and the somewhat creepy Bennett, along with his mother, Serra, former model and Ice Gym Leader. I'll face her next time around. Pokedex Updates?: This was a relatively small update post mostly just to alert you guys as to the state of the Serra situation. Other than that, I caught a few pokemon but only a few. Pokemon Seen: 373 Pokemon Obtained: 90 The four obtained are... Stunky Sandile Deerling and, last but certainly not least..... LUDICOLO!!! That's right, Felix finally learned Hydro Pump at level 44 and then I immediately used my Water Stone from the Aqua/Magma Gang conflict to instantly have a serious powerhouse. Man, once we get Ice Beam, he's going to destroy all sorts of things. Until then, I threw on Zen Headbutt for dealing with some Poison types. Really might as well. Slight Edit: I just ran his IVs through a HP Calculator and it came out as Psychic, so post-Noel I'll likely slab that on in the place of ZH. I'm not doing a verdict for such a small jump. Sorry, I'll save it for another time when my Pokemon total goes up more than 4. Verdict:

I'll give it a go. I have an Android so I might as well. Plus my current avatar works with it lol. Update: There's a "M" in Abomasnow.

Yeah I'm in a bit of a pickle in that regard. I'm trying to figure out which ones should be prioritized and which can be shelved. I'm also trying to discern exactly which mons replace which, so that'll give me a little something to do. Well thank you very much I'm glad some enjoys them because otherwise it's just kinda me ranting about which Pokemon need to be nerfed/moved. So you're going to do this too? You're going to copy me coping you? Okay then

I think they'd work out okay except I picture Radomus as being considerably older than Julia so that could be a potential road block there.

Report IV: Whaaaaa? Two Reports within ~12 hours? What is this? Basically with the whole fact I didn't update this for about 20 days or so, I figured I need to take my nose and shove it into a grindstone until I had such a small nose that Pinocchio would be jealous for all time until I got caught up to the current release. And so I did. Within a very short time period today, I got around to defeating Kiki, Aster/Eclipse, Taka, (I lost to Solarius because he continually crit EVERY SINGE TURN MY LORDS ABOVE), and even Aya. I'm going to write my impressions of said battles below. Kiki- Honestly, she needs to have one move on her team to truly make her a threat: Psych Up. It seems stupid at first, but then you realize the easiest way to destroy her is to set up on the first few turns and the sweep away the dust. Psych Up, particularly on her Medicham, would allow her to copy the +6 Attack/Defense I got on my Torterra and let me tell you, that would have absolutely destroyed everything I brought. Anyway, she was a slice of cake. Aster/Eciplse- I'd really like to see a boss battle utilize the swamp field. Like that'd be really neato. It's already there and so are Aster and Eclipse so may a few edits to the field effects would let you encounter them right outside the building and have an epic insert Shrek joke here swamp battle. As it stands, they're pretty easy. Taka- I said it last night. And I will say it again. Manectric needs to be moved. I killed Klefki turn 1 with Reya, then I killed everything else with Nikola. I remember he had a Floatzel because I had to switch out Reya, but after then, I think I saw a Chatot before it was electrocuted. Maybe a Cradily? Idk, it went too fast thanks to being able to set up to +6 Special Attack, then constantly switch fields with Discharge. too op, pls nerf. Aya- Aya has been considerably buffed by the Wasteland field. IT used to be that Donphan/Mamo could completely wreck her, but now she has a few answers for those pesky Ground type moves. Well. I mean. Mostly. Some of them are a 1/4 strength. Some of them are buffed and do extra poison damage, so Aya doesn't need to worry about those anymore, right? Well, surprisingly one extremely powerful Ground type move was overlooked by the nerf treatments. Which one, you wonder? Well it happens to be Earth Power, the move my Camerupt, Reya, already had on her moveset. With an Earth Plate equipped. Yeah. Once again, I was able to pair up Hariyamyams and Reya and simple spam a combo of Knock Off and Reya's STAB moves. Force Palm also allowed for some key Paralysis afflictions. Marta did a little bit too and so did Nikola, but it was mostly the every handy haha puns Hariyama and Reya who won me the battle with considerable easy. No second attempt or soft resets required. I may do some extra work on the save today and if I do, I'll edit and add it here. But for now, I'm going to actually update my list of Pokemon obtained since it's been 3000 years about 20 days since I have. I'll throw it in a spoiler so you don't have to look at if you don't want to. I know I sure wouldn't want to. Badges: 5 should be six/seven jus sayin Pokedex Progress: Seen-350 Obtained-86 Verdict: That's all for now, folks!

Previous post so I don't double: Report III: Damn, I am really bad at doing these reports. I'm gonna be really honest here: I've been dreading writing this post. I really have been. Partially because I'm a lazy sack of potatoes and mostly because Lords Arceus, Goomy, and Helix, I caught a lot of Pokemon and holy hell is there a lot I need to cover here. Well let's start where I left off. Always a good place to begin a chapter. Previously on Avatar, I left you as I was grinding up a Makuita to take down the vile third PULSE Tangrowth and the Meteor goons who accompanied it! Once Makuita was nice and trained up all the way until he was later a Hariyama, I easily destroyed the Taka/ZEL tag team with a combo of Numel's Lava Plume and Hariyama's Guts allowing me to take full advantage of the fact that Lava Plume provides a 30% chance to burn. If I really wanted too, I could have easily have gone and grinded up a ton of coins in the casino to get the TM for Facade. Now THAT would do some serious damage to anything. Anyway, I swept through Taka/ZEL, leaving Heather vs. ??? Meteor, who, with the help of the local police force, was unmasked like a Scooby Doo villian to be Corey, Poison Gym Leader, and the no good scumbag I just literally HM 01 through TWO PULSE TANGROWTHS AND TWO ENCOUNTERS WITH CHATOT. Only to have a loser who runs from me. Come on man, be more dignified than this please. The battle with Corey was also a let down. Remember way back in the first post when I said I wouldn't rely on Manectric too much? I appear to have lied. I led with Messiah to Gust away the special field and once he went down, I brought in Nikola and Charge Beamed up to +4 easily. Then began the Discharge spam. I have to say, while I absolutely adore Manectric, it definitely needs to be moved later into the game. Or at least take away Charge Beam. Make it weaker for the first 20 levels or so. Maybe give out Shock Wave as the TM for Julia? That'd work. It'd also be helpful for Serra, now that I think of it. But seriously, in the words of the Glitch Field, too op pls nerf. Move it later on. Give us a Pichu there instead. Something, anything. But this is just too strong for this point in the game. Anyway, we're going to move on because it's getting late and my supply of Root Beer is dwindling so I don't honestly know how much longer I can keep this up. update: there goes the last of the Root Beer. After taking all six of Corey's mons and mopping his toxic floor with them, I took a stroll out to the bridge, witnessed a potentially mentally scarring occurrence, and then listened as an absolute jerk-weed haha grass humor came on up and laughed about his death. And then came the big ol' boom that ending up finally allowing me to enter the Lapis Ward. Not much to say here. I join a gang. I grab a Ponyta that I'll only use to turn into a Rapidash at some point. I meet up with Shelly, the Bug Gym Leader, and our good pal Victoria, who I simply must compliment on the spectacular nature of her name. We go investigate the explosion, I rescue a ViD Victoria in Distress and grab a Mining Kit and Rock Smash TM while I'm down there. I'm pretty sure I got a Pokemon or two down here, but I don't remember exactly so that will simply be in the list below. Back to the actual progress, we go comfort Shelly, decimate Victoria, burn down the Forest Field after setting up stealth rocks with my Onix, who I will mention now and probably never use again. From there, we got hunt down our buddy Cain after a little skirmish with Fern (he doesn't pose enough of a threat to be anything higher) and encounter Heather, Corey's daughter and a strong trainer insinuated to be a member of the Elite 4, again and track her down. She runs away from us twice and ends up getting kidnapped. Way to go. Like seriously, would it kill you to unleash your Salamence on The Good Doctor there and just destroy any hope of his salvation? I think not. We break into the orphanage where Doctor Sigmund Connal is keeping Heather and several other powerful trainers including, but not limited to, Noel, the Normal Leader of Reborn and the Hax God, Charolette, Fire Leader of Reborn and the youngest of a trio of trainer sisters, and finally the intriguing Anna, master of seeing beyond the physical realm and a strong trainer insinuated at being the Psychic Elite Four member. Anyway, Cain and Shelly help us break into the orphanage and bust Heather out. It was a cake walk, so I take the opportunity to level up Braveheart, the Litleo I got from a trade and easily catch it up with the rest of my team. We steamroll over The Good Doctor and escape with our newfound friends in tow. We follow them to an abandoned train track and then we become the official errand boy and turn on the power by beating Shade in single combat. How to beat Shade, you may wonder? It's really simple. Meowstic-F gets Shadow Ball via level up and also Light Screen which can help in the department of defense. Numel can take a hit fairly well and then can set-up and sweep. And finally, as before, Manectric. Manectric can seriously abuse the field here and solo Shade. Just saying... Anyways, we turn the back on, but then all our friends bar Cain are captured by the Metoers and so then we team with Victoria and Cain to get them back by getting the HM/TMX for Strength and also the Badge to use it. Cain runs off, I run into Amaria, digressing from the original goal ensures. I single handedly help shut down the PULSE Muk poisoning the lake with Amaria and then I decide enough shenanigans and use Amaria's boat to go on over to Apophyll to get the HM for Strength from a woman named Kiki, Victoria's mentor, Fighting Type Leader, and the Sensai of the Apophyll Academy. She tells me to take a hike- literally, mind you. She tells me to climb the mountain next to her school and meet her newest student, a respectable guy named Cal, former Fire Leader and a little brother to Blake, but we'll speak more on Blake later. I defeat him in a battle and go back to Kiki for my actual gym battle, where Victoria tries to stop us again. Like seriously, you just tried this and it didn't work. Why would it now? More to the point, I win and move onto Kiki. I nearly beat her first try much to my surprise with my slow as heck team. Currently, I am just running around obtaining random Pokemon as needed to make my dex a tad more complete. Now comes the part I was dreading- the Pokedex Update. Why? Well that's very simple. The last time I updated this my total of pokemon I had caught was exactly 38. What is it now, you may ask? Well it's risen just a little bit to 84. That may not seem like much and, to be entirely honest, it isn't. But with the format I've been doing, that would require me to download the sprites of 46 Pokemon and compile them all in this post, not counting evolutions, which take a bonus sprite per stage. And frankly, I had to force myself just to make this post because this task was quickly becoming more and more monumental. Therefore I'll do the spirte thing with my main team, but everyone else will simply have their name mentioned from now on. New/Updated Members- Good Old Felix is dependable. He had to stay a Lotad for what seemly like an eternity until he eventually learned Giga Drain. Unfortunately, he's now in the same predicament again. He get's to stay a Lombre until he finally learns Hydro Pump because until Surf, it's Hydro Pump or Bubble Beam. Hariyama is bulky. Hariyama has priority. Hariyama can destroy most things with a solid attack stat and bulk to match. Nuff said. Marta, the Meowstic Female. She's always dependable. She is currently setting up Light Screens when needed and also can kill most any Poison, Ghost, Psychic, or Fighting type with easy. Dependable. Nikola has honestly become a crutch to learn on when I am weak. Team under leveled and you can't beat the leader? Charge Beam+Discharge. That's all. If you try and dent a Torterra, it won't work out so well. Yes, I am becoming progressively lazier and more tired as I get down this list. Keen observations. It can take a hit and hit back. Reya, Reya, Reya. What can I say? Reya complete destroys most Pokemon I come across, even more so when I later get Hidden Power Grass for Reya. There's the main team bit. I'll attach the list of all the pokemon I've caught up to now in a list sometime withing the next 24 hours, but I am about to fall asleep, so I'd rather just put this post up and be done with it for now.

Welcome, make yourself feel welcome, and I hope to see you around! Feel free to get involved in all sorts of fun forum threads and join us over on the Reborn Showdown! server which is located on the left side. See ya!

Steel is a very possible monorun. It's strong defensively and also can work well offensively. I'd say grab a Piplup and run with it.

Okay so I gotta admit straight up, this team is a little strange. I know you said to not change the mons, but frankly there are far superior rain abusers. You don't need to list your EVs in multiples of 2s by the way since you only get a stat point on multiples of 4s. The first two are fine. M-Swampert is always excellent on rain teams. It hits like a truck and it can take a hit. Noivern is wicked fast and has a matching Special Attack stat with pretty good coverage. Hurricane allows it to murder most everything in combination with Draco and Boomburst. One slight change to Noivern would be Modest over Timid as it can always use a nice attack boost since it'll outspeed most everything bar priority anyway. On Meloetta, I assume you took a page from one of our most recent RU Pokemon Showcases since a Thunder set was just talked about there. If I were you, I'd say ditch the Rain Dance and throw on Hyper Voice instead. Give Meloetta an Assault Vest if you want. It'd be able to para its foes, eat up special hits all day, and then deal back solid damage of its own. Also change Psyshock to Psychic. You don't really need to worry about things that are specially defensive due to having M-Swampert destroy them. I can see the idea behind this Volcarona but I frankly don't think it'll really benefit from the the rain that much. 100% accuracy Hurricane is always excellent but you already have Noivern for that. I'd suggest switching out Volcarona with a Politoed. Politoed is essential to any rain team due to having the ability Drizzle, granting instant rain on the switch. I'd suggest something of the following set: From there, Toxicroak. Hmmm. Toxicroak. He's not the best physical rain sweeper imo, but oh well, I already suggested an alternative mon when I was specifically told not to so I'll let it be. I'm thinking a more offensive Toxicroak would fork a bit better. I'd suggest For the last slot, while Bisharp may appreciate the weakening of Fire types, Bisharp doesn't care enough to make me want to give it this slot. In this slot, I'd recommend one of the best offensive mons who will appreciate the rain: Scizor. Scizor, having only one weakness and that weakness being Fire benefits more from rain than almost any non-Water type. The set I'd recommend is the following: I hope you appreciate at least some of that because dang that took longer to write than I'd expected. Enjoy.
