That's really awesome! Looks amazing, maybe try to get a shiny galvantula to match it? XD Really like the color hash on the legs, the purple looks nice. Does it have decent IVs?

^ Could've used spoilers but meh, it's been out for a while guess it's not important. No worries. But yeah you have to do as he said, then you can leave via the rightmost exit at the circus and head back to Reborn from there. I haven't noticed anything new on 7th though.

Overall I think Reborn is the best Pokemon hack/remake since the Ruby Destiny series back in the day. I was on close terms with its creator, DestinedJaGold. Haven't heard from him in years but still see him around on Pokecommunity from time to time. However now I can affirmatively say that this is the best one I've ever seen, followed by Zeta, then Rejuvenation, finally Glazed. Albeit, Glazed is actually a ROM... I seriously think these from-scratch games hold a better torch than hacked ROMs. There are few good ROMs these days, but these homebrew mechanic games are really something.

I think for me it was finally beating Ciel after *literally* my 107th try. I kept count. If not that, earlier today I managed to hatch a near-perfect IVed Totodile and I also got a shiney Ralts from an egg in the same day, and the IVs aren't bad, especially with a 28 Sp. Attack IV.

Yeah I did go during a thunderstorm but nothign happenin. Actualyl I had a similar issue with Tropius earlier today when I went during sunny weather and it wasn't there either.

So I know it was available in earlier episodes in the alleyway, but it's clearly not there anymore. Any ideas? I'd love to get my hands on an Elektross

Like I said in the first post, I'm doing this purely for fun. I like building metagame, I'm just asking about some pokemon I've never built for before. These are simply pokemon I like, nothing more. I already have a subseeder Venusaur and Sceptile on my other games, I might go with that for Tropius in this one. Actually some of my favorite movesets are spiker setups for Skarmory/Foretress and ThunderSlash builds for Togekiss. I know a fair bit about metagame, I won't pretend to be an expert, I really just wanted more opinions.

So I'm a huge fan of the following pokemon, and I'd like some advice getting metagame builds for them if possible. I know they aren't all OU, but these are simply mons that I like. Please include stats to work towards on each, moveset included. Flygon Noivern Camerupt Tropius Gardevoir Cryogonal Thanks team

I have a friend that is ravenously into it right now. I guess I'll have to look into it. He showed me some gameplay and it looked a bit choppy and incomplete, so I might wait for a full release.

I'm well past that. I've completed E15 and have simply gone back to get myself a green friend

I've seen multiple people talking about trading, as in between each other. Is there a trading feature in the game? Where is the trade station if so? Thanks for answering this dumb question XD

It's definitely sunny. The screen is so bright yellow I can barely see, compared to normal.

So I know the location of tropius, is is a sunny day, I do have pokesnax, and it's not there. I have definitely not battled it before. Any reasons why it's not there? I'm on chapter 15 right now.

Alright thanks. I'll just give up that then XD

So I currently am attempting to hatch a shiny rufflet from this particular egg I got. I'm saved so that when I load in and take one step, the egg hatches. This particular rufflet has some kickass IVs, and shiny Braviary looks fucking amazing, so I decided to invest time into getting a shiny for this guy. So, a few questions to speed up this process: - The second the egg hatches and shows the pokemon's sprite, will it ever show it as shiny on that screen, or do you have to go into your party and check it out manually before it shows it as shiney? - I noticed the egg has predetermined nature, ability, moveset, and IVs. Is this true of shiny? if it's nto a shiney to begin with, will it ever be if I continue to reload the game, or am I wasting my time? Thanks guys

Thanks for the help guys, I know I'm replying fairly late but wanted to let you know I did read your replies and have been enjoying the game since. Cheers PS - Too bad about the Froakie. Can't wait for it though

So everything in this is going to be a spoiler, you have been warned.

Found a massive bug in the early part of the game. If you don't save before this happens you're screwed.

Thank you my courteous friend Will donate reborn rupees

Hey questions for dumb people like me to ask: Can I just start right from version 6 if I have not started the game at all yet? I saw that Jan had made a warning about updating the game if you hadn't gotten a gym badge yet, but I haven't started PERIOD. Should I get version 5 and play up to my 1st-2nd badge and THEN update, or just go from version 6? Also, could someone link the version 7 thread? I'm lost because I;m new here and I'm a silly m3g4 t3rr4 breadcrunk muff1n.

Alright everyone I managed to win. It was an epic battle and I wish to tell the tale before a moderator locks this thread. It started with Togekiss of course, I had my Ampharos. I landed Discharge after getting lucky enough not to be flinched by Air Slash. We traded blows, forcing her to waste 2 Hyper Potions. Togekiss got paralyzed on the second Discharge, allowing me to get in the final shot without taking damage. Archeops promptly wrecks Ampharos with Earthquake. I threw out my Bronzong since it has levitate and was locked into earthquake via choice band. A single Heavy Slam sends Archeops back to being a fossil. Up next was Talonflame, which was about to lose to Bronzong, but the last Hhyper potion came into play. Talonflame wrecked both Bronzong and Lapras at this point, but was on red health. Alakazam comes in for the speed-psychic and wipes out Talonflame. Here we are at Gliscor, who is reduced to half health by my Alakazam and then ends my yellow friend. With only Vanilluxe and Claydol remaining, I choose Claydol and land a nice Shadow Ball to end Talonflame, but am reduced to 3 HP. Altaria comes out, and I use Explosion because fuck it. ALTARIA MISSES WITH SING. Explosion lands, reducing it to about 1/3 health. Out comes Vanilluxe as Claydol is laid to rest after a perfect form of Chaotsu's selfdestruct ability. Thinking this is the end thanks to Altaria's high speed compared to my retarded ice cream cone, I use Ice Shard WITHOUT KNOWING IT IS A PRIORITY MOVE. I land a critical hit and win just as my background theme of "I'll Make a Man Out of You" ends with a decisive "HOO-HAH!" F**k you Ciel, you piece of s**t. ..!.. /endrant

I think the team I'm building now is really solid. My Ampharos is still able to kill the first two with a fair bit of luck and it becomes useless after that anyway, so it's fine if it dies. I'm now using a Lapras with ungodly HP and defenses, with Surf + Freeze Dry + Ice Beam + Brine, so that should be good. Reworked the moveset on my Bronzong for Heavy Slam (Due to Altaria's weight this will wreck some ass there), Confuse Ray, Future Sight, and Metaal Sound. Bonrsong can tank 3 hits wihtout dying, so my plan is to have it throw down Confuse Ray, then Future sight with a Metal sound in between to increase FS's damage, then on the same turn FS hits use a Heavy Slam, then let Bronzong die if necessary. I also have a Vanilluxe with a shitload of Sp.Att, but it's not as fast as I would like it so it's going to be experimental. Finally, I got my hands on a really nice Cryogonal to replace my Alakazam for speed sweeping. So in the end: Ampharos Lapras Vanilluxe Bronzong Cryogonal Typholsion (for whatever reason, Eruption just slays Noivern and Archeops if necessary), or Cacturne (for a highly powerful Dread Plate + Sucker Punch with 245 Att. Also knows Leech Seed + Destiny Bond, but is slow) Going to train my last remaining levels and then give it a shot. Wish me luck (I F**king need it)

I'm now aware of the existence of Lapras, which I think will help given that mine rolled 31 HP, 29 Sp.Def and 30 Def, with a beneficial nature to Sp. Att lowering Att. Speed is nothing to write home about. Overall it's a tank and will probably help once a lot. That being said, it's extraordinarily hard to find, and anyone looking to play the game without a guide would have a hell of a time finding it. I did pick up the Sneasel, but if I'm correct there is no way to get it to Weavile both from what I've figured out by playing and reading forums, without reverting to an old episode first. I have tried Trick Room via Alakazam, but I discovered that my main speed sweepers (Flygon, Noivern, Alakazam, Typholsion) are rendered useless because they all get one shot, Typholsion sometimes two shotted. No, I don't always use them in the same team but I've experimented with each of them with Trick Room. Vanilluxe certainly helped, but I can't for the life of me get it to survive until the Altaria comes out. I'm hoping that Lapras can change that. After I've tried out Lapras if I'm unsuccessful I'll make a post about the experience. However, the main part of my original post was not necessarily to get help beating her. It's to address the primary problem: When you are in a locked off part of the game you need to have the tools to get past that part of the game without being forced to rely on something you didn't have prior. From what I can tell, you're limited to Lapras (if you can get it), Ice Fang Totodile, Milotic, and Sneasel depending on your nature and IV roll. With so few options, given how useless the other ice types are, it would be more beneficial to add in either some more ice types to the mountain that have higher speed, or some steel types in the power plant that can tank better. Bottom line, it's basic game design to have every part of the game be beatable with what you have access to from that portion of the game. There are many ways to fix it, from adding more pokemon to the areas to changing the obstruction itself, in this case Ciel's team. Yes, I fully admit to not having a good team for this particular battle coming in. But I also don't read spoilers past what I have played so I didn't know what I would be facing. If anyone else were to make the same mistake, they will find themselves in the same situation with the same complaints. I do fully understand that a lot of people had an easier time. Great. You came prepared whether you knew it or not. I didn't know, and quite frankly I didn't WANT to know. Not a fan of spoilers (like anyone is, really though). I do greatly appreciate the help with finding Lapras however, this might help me win given my IV rolls and nature roll. I'll check back later. EDIT: "Terra, however, was I say, was the hardest out of the trio due to nidoking and Garchomp." This is my point exactly. Yes, I had an extremely easy time with Terra, but it was because I came in with a Sweeper Alakazam that destroyed her entire team in single hits. But without Alakazam, my starter was fire type and I had no water types, I would have been "m3g4 1337 F6ed" to death.

Nevermind, had to set it to Friday. Weird.

I'm in the right area for Lapras with the day set to Saturday but no luck. It's not there. I got Feebas a while ago and I already had Sneasel as well (already tried it on this gym as well at 75)
