3 level 90s will likely hinder you in E16 as your level cap is 80. You could also get some more pokemon for rotation, or work on completing the pokedex, or do a challenge run.
-
You need to talk to and beat the guard grunts first, then your gang busts in and you can challenge Maxwell. I can't remember if you need to be a grunt first or not.
-
Or better yet, have the player talk to Julia or something to get the ability to fly, that way everyone will be able to trigger the event. If it was based on beating Ciel, everyone would have to revert to a save before Ciel or else the event wouldn't trigger.

Update #20 *REALLY LOUD UNINTELLIGIBLE SCREAMS OF FRUSTRATION* Ok, I'm calm enough. I'm sure you can guess why I just had a breakdown there. *More muffled screams* Alright, so after I almost got annihilated by Radomus, Luna ends up captured by El and taken to an area far, far away. El also tries to capture Cain and I, but Cain actually does something useful and saves me. This is the first time in all my runs that I actually needed Cain, since for once my pokemon actually were messed up. In my previous runs, my team was sparkling perfect. This time I had a severly crippled Mishap (who hadn't been released quite yet). Cain sacrifices his butt in the name of my freedom (probably the first time he did anything with his butt that wasn't sexual). I escape the Eddie Van Halen castle, and find Radomus in a corner, seemingly minding his own business. He gives me a lead and a staircase out of his prison. I flee back to Reborn City, where poor Mr. Mishap is given a farewell. Once back in Reborn, I beeline to 7th street and get all the goodies (Sunny Day, Rain Dance, Captured Pokemon, Lucky Egg), and then pop down into the Sub Seven Sanctum (how did they get a place here?). A quick maze and Arceus puzzle later, and we are met with Am I the only one that notices one of these cultists just doesn't belong here? One of these cultists is not like the others? One of these cultists seems to have a mustache? W/E, we free Luna, Bennett gets verbally smacked down by GG, and then Luna gives me a nifty trinket and the opening to my 9th gym badge. But first I need to get my new Gen 5 recruit...and I head back inside and nab me a Litwick. With all that good stuff done, on to Iolia Valley. But then I see Bennett is stalking me. Oh God, please don't be like Cain. I can only take one gay admirer at a time. And then later in the corner of a dark alley cave Err....ya....sure....please don't stalk me. AHHHHH. Bird Jesus Almighty Helix!! Luna HELP ME!! I DON'T WANT TO BE IN HIS CAGES *weeps* Oh...you really did just want Luna *cleans up face* well then why don't we just - So you can stalk her to? Aw hell no! Balls out, bitch. And that zipper better stay up. After our meeting in Serra's gym, I already had an idea of what to expect. And it went fairly well. Crime vs Volcania - Took 2 tries, but OHKO it with a Stone Edge after surviving a boosted Signal Beam. Woe vs M.Heracross - Got caught off guard with the mega evolution, but it fired off a paltry Pin Missile, and then I forced him to waste 2 Moomoo Milks healing it while I wailed on it with Flamethrower. Woe vs Yanmega - Tanked a Bug Buzz, and wiped it out with a Flamethrower. Woe vs Scizor - Incinerated it with Flamethrower. Woe vs Venomoth - Almost got it with a Flamethrower, but it survived and killed me with boosted Signal Beam. Drats. Crime vs Venomoth - While Bennett wastes his last Moomoo milk on Venomoth, I rip it to shreds with Stone Edge. Crime vs Butterfree - Seriously? This thing is still here? Ugh. I nail it with a Sucker Punch for about 20% damage, and it wipes me out with Giga Drain. Wreckage vs Butterfree - I was hoping for some luck, but my Razor Shell only managed to drop it to 45%. Got slightly lucky and tanked a boosted Signal Beam. I fired off another Razor Shell, but died to Giga Drain, putting it back up to 30%. PestilenceJr vs Butterfree - I knew this was a bad matchup, but I tried to smack it with a Force Palm anyways. It didn't work much, only dropping it to 15%. I die to a boosted Signal Beam. Isolation vs Butterfree - At this point, I hadn't actually named my new Litwick anything, but it's name is Isolation. It also had evolved into a Lampent, but was still Lv 44. Here's the result. 4 HP between victory and defeat. That is way too close for comfort. With that done, I heal up and head back to Reborn for some grinding. Also evolved Isolation to Chandlure and renamed it while there. Also picked up a bunch of pokemon for later when I did the Squirtle, Mr. Bigglesworth, and Helix Cult quests. I feel slightly better about my chances going forward. PestilenceJr vs Carter - Massive wreckage with Force Palm. Woe vs HumptyDumpty - Was anticipating Malamar here, but I like the switch to Spiritomb. Although without Fairy moves, this just got a lot harder. I get two Flamethrowers off before dying to two Dark Pulses. Isolation vs HumptyDumpty - This is it's moment to shine. I nail it hard with a boosted Shadow Ball after Luna Hyper Potions it. We get into a Shadow Ball - Hyper Potion war, and then HD dies. Yay. PestilenceJr vs BandiSnach - It mega evolves. I mega take its head off. #PlantWithFists Wreckage vs MarchHare - I get off a Razor Shell for very pathetic damage before falling to a boosted Shadow Ball. Weak. Isolation vs MarchHare - Round 2. Batter up. MarchHare down to another boosted Shadow Ball. Crime vs JubJubBird - I had a feeling this would be Mandibuzz before I even saw it. I also had no idea birds could resist rocks so well. I manage 1 Stone Edge and a Sucker Punch before falling to two Foul Plays. This bird is fowl. Huehue. Isolation vs JubJubBird - Though I might die here, so I nailed it with a Flame Burst, but failed to kill it. I die to a Dark Pulse. PestilenceJr vs JubJubBird - Basically down to my last pokemon, but I nail it with Force Palm and clear it off the field. Phew. PestilenceJr vs CheshireCat - Damn Umbreon is really tanky. I hit it with a Force Palm and drop it to 20%,,,,and get lucky with a paralyze! It fails to move the same turn, giving me the opening to Force Palm it once again for the win. YIIIIIKES. Never knew Luna could be that devastating. Didn't help that I only had 5 pokemon thanks to the need for Rock Smash Kricketune. There needs to be a PC in Luna's office. The spoils of the battle. And hey, before we get locked out of the entire rest of the game, why not release one of our cherished teammates? Our contestants tonight. The Selection... The Release... I'm just going to sit over here....

Pretty neat. Maybe share it on the shiny dex thread instead though? For future reference, you can post your shinies here http://www.pokemonreborn.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=17202&hl=shiny Also, welcome to the forums

I'm surprised you're not using any Makuhita yet. It is by far my favorite fluke pokemon of my first Reborn run (wanted a Mankey, settled for Makuhita, loved it through every impossible fight). Sudowoodo is my second overall favorite because of fluke Hardcore.

Swap Smack Down for Dynamic Punch and I would second that. -

Dragon116 replied to Redo.'s topic in Team Showcase
My comment was in regard that you said "toke" rather than "took," Google it if you wish, I have a feeling there's a rule against discussing drug related terminology in depth. -
That Swirlix. It seems like Cain would use a nickname like that.
-
You could always attach a Destiny Knot to it and turn it into a breeding machine. Eventually you will get a shiny one with 5 out of 6 of those IVs. Not sure if it's possible to transfer all 6.

Update #19 Once we stopped Adrienn from killing himself (although he may with the work of rebuilding Reborn), I walked with Cain and GG and Radomus back to Vanhanen Castle. Didn't do much here, so let's skip to the fight. Not at all easy. This is the first time I struggled with Radomus, but Mishap was a fantastic choice. I just wish he used Trick Room like he was supposed to. What a jerk. Wreckage and Woe vs Gallade and Renuculus - Since trick room wasn't up until the following turn, I opted to go with my fastest to take advantage of his slower team. Wreckage Night Slashes Renuculus and did about 33% damage, Woe Fire Fangs Gallade doing about 55%. Woe gets hit by Gallade Close Combat, Wreckage gets annihilated by Renuculus Focus Blast. That Rock typing is a blessing and a curse. Mishap and Woe vs Gallade and Renuculus - Woe finishes Gallade off with Fire Fang, Renuculus finishes Woe with Psychic, Mishap sets up a Swords Dance. Still no Trick Room. Mishap and PestilenceJr vs Malamar and Renuculus - PestilenceJr Force Palms Malamar. Malamar hits PestilenceJr with Superpower. Renuculus hits Mishap with a petty Psychic (yay field Rock typing being useless), Mishap starts its killstreak with Renuculus and X-Scissor. Mishap and Crime vs Malamar and Slowking - Malamar goes after Crime with Superpower, but Crime survives thanks to Sturdy. Slowking goes after Mishap with Psychic (agani, barely doing damage). Mishap crushes Slowking with X-Scissor, Crime Counter kills Malamar. Clean field. Mishap and Crime vs G.Gardevoir and Metagross - Basically Mishap is the only pokemon left that has any hope here. Crime gets it's final attack, Sucker Punch, off on Metagross. G.Gardevoir goes all "waka waka" and mega evolves, and kills Crime with Psychic. Metagross misses its Meteor Mash.Mega G goes down to Mishap's X-Scissor. Mishap and Plight vs Metagross - Plight goes first with Crunch, but it's not enough to take Metagross out. Metagross counters with Meteor Mash on Plight, KOing it. Mishap, with about 20% of its HP left, KOs Metagross with another X-Scissor. The spoils of the battle But with our eight badge comes our tenth release (Corey and Kiki count, but they welched). Here are the candidates. The Selection... The Release... Time to go save Luna. BTW, to my avid readers, we are nearing the Agate Circus cutoff point. If you have any pokemon you think I should include (or want to see) in future updates, be sure to post. I know i want to give Drought Ninetails a shot.

Fixing it up (A Pokemon Reborn Hardcore Playthrough)
Dragon116 replied to Commander's topic in Team Showcase
I voted. If you do go with Rock Polish Nightmare Cradily, get rid of any stalls or else she'll beat down teams before they even get to Cradily, which will beat down the rest of the team really quickly. -

Dragon116 replied to Redo.'s topic in Team Showcase
1) I look forward to that. 2) I didn't know Reborn had blunts, or that you could use them in gym battles without violating some battling under the influence rule. Fascinating. 3) Water Pulse because you already have Ice covered, but no water users beyond a frail Putanism. -
#Update #18 In this adventure we see our hero Penthus get pwned by a signpost. Apparently I never updated the Tauros sprite correctly. Oops. I'll get that fixed. Oh ya, there's also a fight with Cain and the thorough takedown of a Darceus by a plant with fists. Totally ignored the forrest and goodies, and just focused on getting to Radomus. Upon arrival I met Luna for the first time, and then was challenged to a battle by Cain. This went pretty well. Wreckage vs Muk - Muk is apparently really weak against Wreckage, so I got to set up two Shell Smashes...and got poisoned in the process. GF streak. Well, i got time to do some....wreckage. Muk goes down to Razor Shell. Wreckage vs Nidoking - Goes down to Razor Shell. Wreckage vs Samurott - Tried to kill it with Night Slash because Cross Chop was too risky. Samurott didn't die, but I did from poison. It chose to use Dig though. PestilenceJr vs Samurott - I was too fast for it, so my first turn got wasted, but I got hit with a weak, but critical, Dig. Stupid Samurott. EAT SEED BOMBS BITCH! Mishap vs M.Gengar - I thought I could survive better with Mishap...but I forgot I'm not that powerful against it. Here's a pic of Chibi Gengar Woe vs Chibi M.Gengar - Wasted it with a Crunch after tanking a Shadow Ball. PestlenceJr vs Absol - Force Palm crushed it. Crime vs Garvantula - Tanked a Electric Gem boosted Discharge, and the buried it in a Rock Tomb. Cain gets "bent over", to which I quote Radomus Anyways, lo and behold El had a Fern moment and decided to abduct Gardevoir. I definitely agree. No respect yo. Cain follows suit and questions why Radomus is not concerned about a Psychic type that is ca[able of Teleporting, laying waste with Psychic, or just being a general nuisance with Calm Mind tranquility.Luna requests we go after her, so we all agree to go save El find Gardevoir. Fast forward. This guy is so Hax. I also wonder why there are 4 of us and I'm the only one who fights this monstrosity. W/E, lets go. Crime vs Darceus - Survived a Focus Blast thanks to Sturdy, and let off a field-boosted Rock Tomb, dropping Arceus to an abusable speed tier. I get off a Sucker Punch, and die to another Force Palm. Woe vs Darceus - Gets off a Retaliate to start with, and then tanks a Judgement thanks to its remarkable Fire typing. I follow through with a Flamethorower, setting it up for strike 3 before I die to another Judgement. PestilenceJr vs Darceus - Thanks to the abusable speed tier, I get my Force Palm going first, and remove the remaining 50-55% of Darceus' health left. Plant with fists wins again! Up next is Radomus' torture facility. Also, to note, I got the Itemfinder on my way down to the Grand Gates, and on my way to the Coral Ward I dropped by the Grand Hall to see where the Exp.Share was. I was met with this The other side only had a Green Shard in the statue. So apparently the official release saw the removal of both Lucky Egg and Exp. Share. I would suggest putting them back so the early game grind doesn't suck so hard. Thanks

Update #17 Going to try and not have a gigantic loss of time between battles, so that I can remember what happened. What better place to start than Route 1, the bane of all speed runs? Anyways, after gaining the Standard badge and losing poor Trial, I went out and got another tanky badass. One that is perfect for Radomous. Presenting...Mishap the Escalliver. With a non existant speed, it should dominate poor Radomous' Trick Room. Usually I just go in and wreck with double battle treachery (Emolga Discharge + Sandslash Earthquake, or Magneton Discharge + Krookodile Moxie Crunch). Might as well try this trickery out and enjoy the free laughs. Well, I got his butt trained up in HP and Attack, decided to go noob hunting. Except then I saw this. This twerp is standing there the whole time, waiting for me. Not only is he a confirmed stalker, but a confirmed no-lifer, in addition to his laurels of worst rival ever and superiority complex. Damn I'd love to hand him over to Siggy. Got quite a surprise when I saw Haxorous here. With no Ice users, I knew this would be a tricky battle. Wreckage vs Haxorous - Haxorous gets first hit with Iron Tail, but Wreckage survives and sets up a Shell Smash. Next turn I follow through with a Cross Chop...but fail to kill Hax. I die to a Dragon Claw. Mishap vs Haxorous - My team is far too weak to take a hit from this thing, so I just start spamming Iron Head, while Fern tries to keep it alive. Once out of Berry Ice Creams, Haxorous tries to set up a Dragon Dance, proving Fern's pure genius, given he only had that turn left to live. Iron Head KOs it. Woe vs Roserade - Roserade gets the jump on me with Hidden Power, but only manages 30 damage. Obliterated with a Fire Fang. PestilenceJr vs Krookodile - Pestilence is unbelievably faster than Krookodile, and rubs it in with a OHKO Force Palm. Woe vs Scizor - One Flamethrower ends it. Was surprised there was no Occa Berry here too, but I guess Fern's too stupid to think that far. Woe vs M.Sceptile - Got scared here because it hit me really hard with a Focus Blast. But field-boosted Fire Fang does its work well, and wipes it out in one hit. Woe vs Ferrothorn - Laughed when Fern said I was a thorn in his side, after he sent this out. Well played. But Flamethrower #rekt Going to try and just blow through Route 1. To hell with the goodies.

Yay 3 Hardcore runs at the same time. Should be sweet seeing different perspectives. -

Dragon116 replied to Redo.'s topic in Team Showcase
Yes, the order was Luna, Samson, Charlotte, T3RRA, Ciel. But you already said Luna. Woulda helped with the Tech Glasses, but I only did it once and all I did was run around looking for webs/logs and the trees nearby. -
Questions about Episode 15 changes(spoilers?)
Dragon116 replied to ScarletGhost's topic in Reborn City
Sorry for the slow reply. Sirius decided to go full evil on me. Finally beat him, went upstairs and saw this So Sigmund at Yuyeru + Go Upstairs = Laura Capture. Sigmund at Yuyeru + Stay Downstairs = Twins Capture. -
Questions about Episode 15 changes(spoilers?)
Dragon116 replied to ScarletGhost's topic in Reborn City
I had to fight Sigmund at Yuyeru (as you see in my RainbowGen topic). When we got to the fight scene, Sigmund entered, and refused to battle me because I kicked his ass before. SO he had is orderlies detain me. Then Sirius entered and I fought him and won (narrowly). After he asked whether I would stop him or Sigmund, I chose to stay downstairs and stop him, and that's how the twins got captured in my run. Going to replay that and see what happens if I go upstairs.
