Oh the best starter is chikorita start with it and you see how good it is well i would start with the starters which you cant get via events in E15/older episodes. which are: Chamander,Torchic,Treeko,Chimchar,Snivy,Oshawott and Froakie. Godlike Starters: Froakie,Torchic Good starters : Snivy,Chimchar,Charmander,Turtwig,Bulbasaur,Mudkip Average Starters: All the other starter which are not in Trash Not so good/Good/Godlike Trash Not so good Starters: Tepig,Oshawott, Chikorita

donphan and Golem can EQ the field 2 times to make it collapse. Basically any 2 pokemon with EQ+sturdy can help you if you do not want to use gimmick pokemon like murkrow/Magneton/sturdy+metal burst pokemon(Bastiodon/Aggron).

personally i would go for medicham since well you dont need a stone to evolve it and it is available earlier than a Ralts. Also i rather use the only dawn stone you get in game to get a froslass which is kinda better than a gallade.

it is on the grass. i found them poliwags in the morning idk if that plays a part.

will give the Screen shot of the head-butt-able tree: circled the tree good luck finding inkay. you dont need to go to the grotto. you dont need flash all you need is to walk there.

Hmm well first off just get rid of the rain with Darude sandstorm. should work unless the rain in shelly's gym is rain like primordial sea Effect/heavy rain but that is not the case since i saw in quickslip's grass mono run he was able to set up sunny day and make double rainbows appear on the field. So Darude sandstorm should work.smack on a smooth rock on you Darude sandstorm set up pokemon so that the Darude sandstorm would last longer. Once you set up Darude sandstorm you can proceed and burn the field with camerupt's Lava Plume(unless for some reason shelly has water sport and used it to prevent the field from burning if so omg commander why). Sand veil,Sand rush,sand force pokemon should be in your team to make use of the Darude sandstorm effects. Graveler/Golem, Donphan,Dugtrio,Sandslash and gabite. well i am sure there are more pokemons which can make use of Darude sandstorm but dont think you can get them at the point of the game yet. Ok now you will need to bench trapinch he is just dead weight at this point yes i know he has rock slide but he is just too frail and can get OHKOed so easily. In my last post i told you to get a diggerbytho so i m sure you have that in your back up team/Subs. if not get one it will help yeah it is rare and all but it is worth the time to hunt down for one. Diggerbytho can wipe out shelly with bounce and quick attack. You can lead with gabite and Dugtrio since dugtrio is super fast and has the sand force/veil ability which comes in handy. Dugtrio can even sucker punch and maybe destroy stuff with the sucker punch since his atk is boosted when in sand if he has sand force. do not send in camerupt when masquerain and Armaldo is out since they have water type moves to wreck/destroy camerupt. send in Camerupt when shelly sends in yanmega/volbeat/vespaqueen.

hmm well i choose aqua all the time because it is easy to go to their hide out and i prefer water types over fire.

this thread---->HERE<----should help you if you are doing a grass mono run on hardcore. Growth is boosted in sun. so i would first set up a sunny day than next use sleep powder and spam growth and hit like a truck after the set up.

well you can request for them in the trading thread. Just head over ---> HERE <--- and post i m sure some one has the 6 starters you dont have/ are not obtainable via in game events.

no idea where is diggersbytho well i think he is at the caves where one of the police office is trapped...umm rhodosomething cave i think and you can find bunnelby at beryl cemetery too. 5% chance of finding only in morning and day for beryl cemetery. For the rhodosomething cave anytime.

well i would have some ice types to be rotated in and out and a trick room user to deal with the super hard Charlotte and a slow rock type pokemon to work under trick room. it is not too much work since grinding is kinda made easy in episode 15 with the addition of trainer which you can spam battle again and again. having at least 4-5 pokemons in rotation is manageable. an ice type would also help when facing M3G4 T3RR4 since R4WRchomp dies to an just 1 ice type atk. A good ice type would be Mamoswine since R4WRchomp's stone edge wont do much on mamoswine and mamoswine has a 130 base atk which is huge and he can basically deal a ton of damage.breed a mamoswine so that he can have icicle crash(breed with beartic). blizzard is accuracy is also boosted in glitch field so you can always use a special atk ice type to some what sweep M3G4 T3RR4. Vanilluxe and glaceon are the only special ice types you can get(excluding the egg which could 50% be seel) which are decent. i would go for vanilluxe if you want a special atk ice type as breeding a eevee is just cause it is just hard to get a female eevee due to the %. since you have life orb i m sure you know where to evolve eevee to galceon since it is around the same area as where you get life orb but seriously dont bother trying to breed eevee unless you want other eeveelutions. breeding is best done in E14 since there is a bug where you can stack the effects of destiny knot and power items making it super easy to get a bunch of perfect 6 IV pokemons. Trick room set up pokemon would be also be needed.Cofagrigus/Reuniclus/Gothitelle are good trick room set up pokemon. i personally prefer Cofagrigus due to the fact that it can be very tanky and it is one of the slowest pokemon which is good in trick room. the other 2 mons are ok and they basically can also take hits well but i prefer Coffagrigus. it is up to you to choose what trick room set pokemon you want. Slow rock type. Why do you need a slow rock type?The answer to that is to deal with the demon Charlotte. Charlotte's pokemon are generally fast a deal a lot of damage. that is why we need a slow rock type to be paired with a trick room set up pokemon. so that the rock type will out speed all of the demon's Charlotte's pokemon. Gigalith is an awesome choice since it learns rock slide and can basically sweep with rock slide. Other good choices would be Aggron and crustle both also learn rock slide. well you cant trade yet right now since you need 10 badges to trade according to the trading thread. You better get beldum before E16 comes out becaus eit is gonna be Axed when E16 come out i think.

well you can evolve phanpy to donphan. don phan has sturdy which might be useful since you can be 1 hit koed and you can use frail to hit/kill at least 1 person if they hit you to 1 hp. you can add the all powerful diggersby with huge power to help with sweeping stuff. with facade since it is boosted+stab when you get poisoned by corey's poison mist field. you will have to farm up arcade tokens for facade but it is worth it. Change the ability of camerupt to solid rock so it takes reduced damage from super effective moves. so it can survive and deal damage.

lolz it is not risky to swap between episodes if you know what to but yeah there is a little risk(i usually swap from E15 to E14 when breeding pokemon and i am still alive and have not suffered any problems what so ever). The only thing you have to do is just save in a pokemon center and never save outside because the weather effect are different for E15. Also set the music to default. well that is for E15 to E14 but from E15 to say E9 that i have never tried so try at your own risk but you can go from E9 to E15 i tried that and it works just do the same thing(save in a pokemon center+default music) well technically you can get most of the mystery egg pokemons in older episodes. Togepi,Shroomish,Drilbur,Azurill,Elekid,Magby can be obtained in older episode. Some of the mystery egg are pokemon are available in game but at a later parts of the game so there is a chance of getting these egg which you kinda did and that is kinda the worst egg you can get cause yeah. well if you are willing to restart and gamble another round go ahead. i personally would just restart and for the azurill in E14. since i cant be bother with RNG. Also you can actually trade for other mystery egg pokemon in the treading thread but the treading thread has rules so you cant get the mystery egg pokemon early. The older episodes are floating around in the forums so you can find them i found E9 but that the oldest episode available i have found. So yeah TLDR: 1) download E14 2) Start in E14 and play all the way until you get growlithe 3) breed growlithe 4) Trade growlithe for azurill 5) save in pokemon center+ default music 6) swap to E15 and continue playing as per normal

lolz Rini is no longer scary since she was some what nerfed and since you have a makuhita you should be ok just train/grind most of yer mon to lvl 23 and you should be ok. you can put in a trubbish with toxic spikes to make Rini even easier. Charlotte is much more scary than Rini nerf or not charlotte is just scary if you are not prepared. Also i tot that shade should be the one that every1 fears he is scary and he collects souls and he also uses ghost types which are scary XD

Close to half way done woo. hope you update soon. Anyways keep up the good work

well there is a thread in the reborn city section with all the old links just head over there and find it. if you cant find it just try using the search function and type Reborn old versions you should be able to find the thread.

so many sun users in your team and no sunny day well i would consider using sunny day+growth to sweep things. well quickslip is currently doing a mono grass run on reborn hardcore you can follow his strategies to beat serra. Head over to this thread ---> CLICK HERE <--- i m sure it will help you some how. Also you can idk why you did not save and soft reset when minning rock but oh well. you can get blast powder from pick up so i would train up a pick up squad and hope you pick up a bunch of blast powder. always abuse pick up pokemon. well unless your set rules prevents you from using any pokemon which is not grass types even outside of battles. Hmm other than that you should get your mystery egg changed to shroomish as suggested by many.

well you can lvl up you pokemon by putting on exp share and vsing the clown at agate. he can be battled over and over again. EDIT: if you do not have exp share well the best place to train water types is to kill crustle over and over again.the next best place is route 3 since there are graveler which are kinda easy to kill Oh an another event pokemon you can get is skuntank using the strength glitch(pls carry a escape rope if you are planning to do this since without it you will be stuck)

wow so little options available meh least gothitelle can learn trick room. so you can some what use it to set up trick room. but without roggenrolla/any slow pokemon which is rock type and has rock slide it is kinda useless to set trick room because most of the pokemon you have available is not viable for trick room. hmm well you can catch a crustle from route 2 if consider tauros and boufalant as event mons i think crustle can be placed under the same category of event pokemon. well unless you have solved every single crustle puzzle in route 2. which would be meh since crustle is the only slow rock type you can pair up with gothitelle plus you can always use heart scale to re-learn rock slide on crustle. right now your only hope is crustle if you have solved the route 2 puzzle i have no idea how to beat charlotte with your current team.

hmm well i would get a 6th pokemon first that should help. Also do you have any other pokemon in the pc if so just list them down it would be helpful. Charlotte's pokemon are all kinda fast above 90 base speed so using trick room and slow pokemons should net you a win. but idk what you current team can do against her so first off grab a few water types you can find in the mountains(sealeo,seedra,clawitzer,wailmer). you can get rid of her super heated field with mist. wailmer/wailord learns that. Gigalith is a good pokemon to use whnen facing charlotte. set up trick room and just rock slide away at all he pokemon. a good trick room pokemon would be coffagrigus but there other good trick room pokemon which are bulky. i personally used coffagrigus+gigalith to clean sweep charlotte. EDIT: meh got ninja-ed Ok event mons than you should have roggenrolla(from 7th street)and solosis(from wastelands). train roggenrolla and solosis. solosis a good trick room pokemon. teach trick room to solosis. Trick room+ rock slide should be able to take out most of charotte's Pokemon

No problem glad i some how helped. Gl with the rest of yer run

castform can handle shelly since he can transform into fire type/water type you just need to set up sun. litleo can also help. i would get rid of the rain first so that you can do more dmg with fire type moves. also smack on a heat rock(if you collected enuf stickers you should be able to get it at dept store) on castform so that you can have more turns of sun.Also dont evolve litleo until he hits lvl 36 because at lvl 36 he learns flamethrower which can be very useful vsing shelly. you can always use common candy after making litleo lvl 36. weather ball on castform would also be helpful since it will be a fire type atk under sun. Bring helioptile to handle the flying bugs which she has. Noctowl must be in the team since it is very tanky and can set up reflect to help you team. smack on a light clay(should be able to buy it from dept store if you collected all possible stickers). You could Bring a bidoof/bibarel with aqua tail by now i think you can breed if you have saved the daycare couple. Breed bidoof with a psyduck(just go back to episode 14 to get a psyduck from the arcade). pysduck learns aqua tail at lvl 29. Curse+simple Bibarel can be very useful for later parts of the game. Also i wonder why you do not have a huge power diggersby. That thing is just pure Oped and super useful you can also use him to help beat shelly. since he can do a lot with Stab quick attack. hmm that all the advice i can give here is the TLDR: 1)Get rid of the rain by using sunny day 2)Use fire type atks in sun to kill most of shelly's mons 3)Bring helioptile and Noctowl 4)Breed a bidoof with aqua tail 5)Hunt for the OPed Diggersby with huge power and add it into you team.

well i guess you missed the free sun stone at byxbysion grotto. oh well than i guess you will have to start mining for it because heliolisk is way better than helioptile.If you cant be bothered to mine for a sun stone i suggest replacing helioptile with some other electric type. Ampharos/magnezone are good replacements. Get rid of onix. there are far better pokemons than onix.Aggron is kinda a good replacement for your onix or you can always evolve your onix into steelix but yeah it is all up to you. Also you can replace onix with archeops if you dont want a physical wall like aggron/steelix. Floatzel is just useless at this point of the game he cant do anything much unless he is on a rain team with swift swim but still that wont make up for how frail he is and how little damage he can pump out. so replace floatzel with kingdra/milotic/ludicolo for special atk water type and barbaricle/crawdaunt/azumarill/gyarados for physical atk water types. Having 2 fighting types in your team is kinda pointless so i would replace scrafty with something else like a fairy type or maybe a ice type. you current team is full of physical atking pokemon and need more special atk pokemon usually i run 3 physical atk pokemon and 3 special atk pokemon so i would replace scrafty with a special atking pokemon. use a heart scale to teach blaziken HJK and teach it flare blitz also while you are at it. you can keep shadow claw but you can also consider teaching it brave bird if you want blaziken to just do tons of damage. You can replace claydol with mamoswine since mamowine is an ice type which has thick fat making fire and ice type moves hit it for less dmg. and mamoswine has 130 base atk which is kinda high and it learns EQ what more do you want from a ice/ground type.

well garchomp fight can be easily won if you soft reset until you get a Houndour with destiny bond from magma gang event or the easy way is to get a Jynx/Smoochum and train it until it learns perish song which is lvl 45 for Smoochum and lvl 55 for Jynx( also you can use heart scale on Jynx to get perish song but you will need older episodes to do this) . Not really sure what egg moves houndour from magma gang can have so i guess the best and safe way to beat garchomp is perish song by Jynx. you can get smoochum once you can rock smash you just need to some how beat that lvl 57 beartic.

glad to know you beat him. well you can always get a free sun stone at the byxbysion grotto. it is a hidden with item finder i m sure you can some how find it. unless you used the free sun stone for something else if so good luck mining for 1 because it is all RNG when mining.
