Dragon116

What's the red thing in the top right corner of the team snapshot? I like your take on these events. I'm very curious how to handle Solaris and the Garchomp.

Good job on Shade! Only used 3 pokemon, which is impressive.

In regards to the half Rock Slide damage, it's because of Archeops' Defeatist ability, which cuts both Attack and Sp.A in half when its HP is under half. The perfect definition of a glass cannon. I'm surprised you didn't bring Dragon116 for this fight, since it likely would have killed Archeops with Stone Edge/Rock Slide (Rock isn't resistant against Rock). Good to hear LillyD got the V.

Alphys and Muffet are some interesting choices, especially given you're coming up to a Bug gym that's super effective against them. Looking forward to seeing how Shelly goes.

"Groudon doesn't live in the volcano right?" - Probably not, but Heatran might. Or Volcanion. Or a host of other Fire legends. "Does that mean people in the forest covered Wards just watched as a group of shady people set up PULSEs attached to screaming Pokemon in their city centers?" - Nope, there was that one dude in Jasper Ward who just keeps running into a wall at the Pokemon Center. "CAL YOU TRAITOROUS MOTHERFUCKER!" - He set you up for disaster against Solaris too. Damn though, 5 stars gone...I'm sad. You've learned the way of teleportation! ANd miraculous recoveries! Maybe Season 3 will see the addition of incredible Hulks like...um...Emboar?

IDK where else to mention this, but it looks like they're doing a Cyber Monday sale of RPGMaker XP for $6.25 at their main site. If you're aspiring to be a fangame creator, get on it lol.

I don't think I've ever seen a PULSE get swapped out before. That is a very interesting incident. Maybe it's a result of the glitch with Mist?

Updated the OP. Good suggestions so far

Blissey is another amazing bulky mon. It has really nice special defence, unheard of HP, and a very pathetic 10 defense that still manages to survive physical hits often. Shedninja is an option because of Wonder Guard. Escaliver is both bulky and very aggressive.

I gotta say, I did not expect Pride and Silk to last on your team this long. Feather Dance and Double Edge are nice tools to have though.

Damn Staryu is going to be OP once you get to the Circus. For now it should serve as an annoyer with Confuse Ray.

Damn that was a long ass post. Your team performed well for being at lv 70. Kraken didn't give you much luck in any of those fights besides killing one foe, or tanking a discharge during the last one. Looking forward to how you deal with CIel.

Well...you can actually save between the gauntlet parts by using quicksave whe there is no dialogue on screen. It helped me at Belrose Mansion when Sirius kept being cheap and got sick of fighting the Orderlies.

This topic is meant to be a guide for all players, but focused on helping new players prepare for all the struggles of Reborn. So, post all your tips and tricks. For any plot points, I advise you contain those bits in spoilers (use

Damn those are quite a few updates. T3RR4 dun got hentai'd. Dem roofies ain't got nuthin on octococky. So some pokemon exist in the ether? That seems fair.

This is a nice sketch of Julia.

A caveat here is that you must have cleared north adventine woods of webs and logs. I was also told that you can exit agate circus through the gate after beating T3RR4 but before descending the WTC Waterfall.

Sudowoodo. Get a +Attack nature (Adamant preferable, but any works), with Sturdy ability. It can shut down Taka's Chatot with its typing and Rock moves. If you keep it for the long haul, use Rock Tomb, Rock Slide/Stone Edge, Sucker Punch, and Counter as the moveset. Put a Hard Rock on it to maximize damage output.

Those are both really good fights. I've never tried using Moody, so it's cool to see how it works. Shame that it's too unpredictable to use in clutch situations, but could prove a fun diversion I would also like to address the burning water question http://cdn.meme.am/instances/500x/56478404.jpg http://img.memecdn.com/i-burned-water-and-food-was-still-raw-on-table-and-singing-hakuna-matata_o_4460359.webp

Ooo neat. The eyes on Cain and Victoria creep me out, which is why I don't like them overall. Fern is my fav of the three here, but all 3 have really crisp details.

I think the fact that Cal was able to hide is affiliation with Team Meteor until Solaris commanded him to intercept Kiki proves that Hardy could be doing the same thing. Also, Luna might have inadvertantly been working for Team Meteor while she was with El. So other than confirmed leaders Corey and T3RR4, and ex-leaders Blake and Cal, the only other possible references (as far as I can see) are Hardy, Radomus, and Luna.

I don't get why you didn't go for Mr.Roger's "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood" as your title. Seems like a missed opportunity. Hmm, Vanillite did well in that fight against Gligar. I might use one in a future run.

Hyper voice is a mean move. I watched it wipe Hiroki's side of the field out in one shot, so G.G is by far the most dangerous. Good job beating both versions!

OMG IM SHINY WOO. Umbreon is the staunchest defender of the Eevee line, with 110 base def and 130 base sp.d, coupled with a fantastic 95 base HP. Leafeon is the only one with a higher defense at 130, but 65 HP is pretty bad.
