Reborn already has a sort of 'rebornium' pokemon in that there are shiny pokemon with unique colors/sprites. I agree that it would be could to see Reborn forms, but I wouldn't count on it since Ame wants to stay as close to the original games as possible.

Tentacruel is supposed to be a special tank, with support options with Toxic Spikes. However, its 80 special attack isn't unusable, so if you prefer you could use it as a sweeper (though I don't recommend it). And about Gliscor, you don't really need Roost since you can heal him with items such as Hyper Potions (which heal more than roost). So I don't see any problem with lacking the recovery move. It will still hit pretty hard with acrobatics, especially if you can a SD up.

As the others have said, steel types make quick work of Adrienn. There are plenty of powerful ones available like Excadrill, Metagross, Magnezone, Bronzong, Lucario and more.

I think the issue is that a lot of people understood it as Greninja being broken in-game, not in the online battling (and I was one of them). Online this thing is utterly broken, but in-game it very bad in the mid-game while its still a Frogadier and only becomes strong when it gets access to its stronger moves like Dark Pulse, Extrasensory, Grass Knot, Surf, etc. Also the sweeper thing was my bad, I apologize for it.

You are actually right, Greninja can be a sweeper, but it usually requires more help then other sweepers like Gyarados or Dragonite (after they get a boost). But that isn't Greninja's primary function (at least not in-game), it is meant to take out things your team couldn't otherwise handle, due to its versatility. I see it more as a revenge killer than a sweeper, tbh.

Sorry about that, I didn't realize the topic was about the online battling system (my bad). I think it's just a difference in how we understand the 'sweeper' term. I understand it being a pokemon that once it set ups it can literally kill everything in your opponents team, or just a pokemon strong enough to outright kill everything (like M-Rayray). To me a 'late-game sweeper' is a pokemon that can kill every pokemon in your opponents team, once the things that usually wall it are dealt with (which in Greninja's case most of the time 1-3 pokemon in your opponent's team can counter or check it).

It is doable, here you go. Also, I'm pretty sure this quest was available for quite some time.

First of you misunderstood my post, I was never making a comment on how Greninja functions in the Smogon tiers or competitively. Nor was I comparing it to Aegislash, I was just using it as an example to show that the tier a pokemon falls in does not reflect how good it is in-game (sorry if that wasn't clear enough). I'm not a competitive battler, nor will I pretend I am, so I can't really comment whether or not Greninja is broken in the meta game at the moment. As for Greninja being a sweeper, I disagree, it might be a late game sweeper, but not a full on one. Keep in mind that I'm making these claims in the context of Reborn and not Smogon or competitive. A sweeper is a pokemon that is meant to kill off your opponents entire team or at least a good portion of it, Greninja can only kill the pokemon that it can hit for SE damage. I meant it is a 'glue' in the sense that it can most likely kill any pokemon that your team has trouble with, often covering some gaping holes in your team's offensive presence. I never said anything about it giving your team defensive synergy, don't put words in my mouth. I meant it isn't broken if you the player use it, due to it being a pretty mediocre pokemon in the mid-game because of it's bad level up moveset. When it's a Frogadier you only have access to moves like Smack Down, Round and Water Pulse which is very very bad. In late game I agree that Greninja is very strong, but still it might find trouble getting past a few things. However, if you meant that it is broken if trainers use it, I agree completely. The fact that this thing is very fast and can hit a lot of things for SE makes it very difficult to deal with. You can never know what type it can become and even then you still have to tank a (most likely) SE hit. The only reliable way to deal with it is with priority or like I mentioned tanking the hit and then KOing it.

I agree with Nico Robin, you have so many amazing pokemon that it is better to use them in a rotation, changing the team depending on the next battle you have to face. But if you are looking for a 'base' team, I would suggest Infernape, Excadrill, Weavile, Galvantula, Gardevoir and Tentacruel. Although if you're able to get an Azumarill I'd use that over Tentacruel and change the Gardevoir for the Archeops.

I disagree with people comparing Gyarados with Greninja and saying the former is outright stronger. That is a totally unfair comparison because both pokemon fill very different roles in a team. Greninja is not meant to be a sweeper, it doesn't have the offenses to do it and doesn't carry any boosting moves. It is meant to be a glue, covering anything that your team is weak against, due to its sheer amount of versatility with protean. Also lets not forget that its entire movepool isn't available yet, we are still missing key attacks like ice beam and gunk shot which helps its coverage a lot. Greninja is only supposed to hit hard against things that it has a super effective move, of course it can't sweep an entire team. Also, although it is currently OU in Smogon tiers, it will very soon be banned back to Uber, much like Aegislash. Its sheer amount of versatility and the fact that it can have something to hit almost every pokemon really hard makes Greninja an amazing pokemon, if not the best currently available water type. And all of that is discounting the battle bond ability that it gets in gen 7, with that it will probably become one of the most terrifying sweepers in the game with its ludicrous speed and power. You just need to know how to use it and most importantly when to use it. That being said I do agree that it isn't overpowered due to its mediocre level up movepool, making it not very good in the mid-game. However, once you reach more to the end game it becomes a much much better pokemon.

So you can only get the key once you complete all story content in Episode 16, beating the 14th gym leader. So I'll but the rest in a spoiler (don't read this unless you want to spoil E16 content):

Here you go. The Pokemon Location Guide is your friend, also if the door that you are trying to open is for something called GUM room, it's a sidequest for a different pokemon.
