I have beaten this gym a couple of days ago. A psychic type will be a great help against his gengar. Furthermore a fire type against his doublade and trevenant will come in handy, and a water type against chandelure. My biggest probem was his Rotom....

Again, thanks for the replies. I think I will go with the following team: Greninja Growlithe (although I need a fire stone soon...) Hariyama (I will probably replace her with scraggy, as soon as I get him) Venonat (the shiny one turns out to have okayish stats, but hey it's shiny ;-)) Swinub (with ancientpower, so I will have to start breeding. Already got a dunsparce!) Helioptile (I just have to wait for a sunny day, or mess with the clock on my pc...) Lotad has good stats to make it an offensive type, instead of defensive, maybe I will switch him with venonat if I don't like him. Further advice is still welcome!

First of all thank you guys for taking the ttime to replying to my topic! @ Drymus I know were to find them but whismurr wasn't in that house, I checked multiple times. However, Lotad took me a couple of rainy days to find too. The same with Numel. And sofar Helioptile has not appeared, although I'm not completely sure that I've checked the rooftop on a sunny day. @ Grizzlyband I've checked some guides but at this moment it seems to be a pain to EV train special defense or spec. attack. Although I have no other option, if I want a decent team haha. I have indeed found a water stone early on in the old ladies house. I have to check if my Lotads stats are any good for making him a tank. But I will definitely keep him in mind. Otherwise grimer might be my best option. @DJWongTong Unfortunately (with regard to breeding) my meowstic is male. So I will need a ditto, who is not available to me at this moment in game.I will definitely try out the mystery egg quest, thanks for the tip! Regarding the swinub, is ancient power a must? @Lynxiechan thanks for the valuable information regarding the strenghts and weaknesses of my team. It is really helpfull. But what do you exactly mean with "bulk"? I never liked the looks of tangela or venonat, but as reborn is not like any other pokémon game I might give them a try. Especially now two of you suggested tangela/tangrowth. Actually.... I might have a shiny venonat in my PC... So if his stats are decent....

Hello, I've played this game (E15) for a couple of days now, but I'am struggling with my team. So, who better to ask than you guys ;-) I recently joined team Aqua (as Carvanha looks like a stronger pokemon than Houndoom), and my next major battle will be Shade (i.e. the fourth gym). At this moment I have 3 pokemon were I'm happy with: Greninja: lvl 38 nature: naive ability: protean Total IV: 136 EV training: 215 attack, 252 speed Growlithe: lvl 36 ability: justified nature: lonely total IV: 142 EV training: 252 attack, 252 speed Hariyama: 37 ability: thick fat nature: adamant Total IV: 138 EV training: 229 attack, 127 speed (I've 99 points left to train). Some other members which have been usefull are Meowstic - M (but with very weak EV training, with over 55 points on attack), Pansear (but I got growlithe now), and Onix. I might replace Hariyama with Scraggy, as everyone seems to be lyrical about him. So I'am looking for three new members (or more, if your adivice replace someone), which are complementary to my current team. I've got myself a budew and lotad, but I have no Idea how to EV train them proparly right now.... As an electric type Helioptile seems to be good, but I can't find him on the roof were he is supposed to be. Moreover, I couldn't find Electric and Loudred. I'am looking foreward to your advice! Kind regards, Dash

He starts with Skrelp and ends with Crobat. I can't remember the order of his other pokémon. You van OHKO or 2HKO Skrelp with your Meowstick.

Espurr would be a great addition to your team. It will be a great help in defeating the third gym and your random encounters with Cain. You need a warehouse key, which you can find in the house behind Tangrowth (just before the second gym). After you have found that key, go to coral ward and try a few warehouses (you can open two, if I'am correct). The following guide show which pokemon you can find/catch were, but it contains spoilers regarding the storyline: http://www.pokemonreborn.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=13417 I think that the only ground type you can find before the third gym, is phanpy. You may encounter him in the grass near the cemetery. Moreover water types are pretty difficult to find, due to the polluted water, but in Peridot ward you can catch goldeen, and if lucky find a wingull (flying/water).

It is a male espurr, as was recommended by Luna ;-) I have one ability capsule, so that wo'nt be a problem. Thanks for the info! Any further recommendations regarding my team are still welcome!

Thanks for the tips. I got myself an Espurr with the infiltrator ability, and so far it seems to be a very good addition to my team. Will this change to prankster when he evolves? However, I couldn't find a numel. It was already raining when I beat the first gym, so maybe that has something to do with it.... Right now I have a: Pansear: nature: rash, ability: gluttony Hp: 28 Att: 23 Def: 22 Sp. att: 19 Sp. def: 22 speed: 25 Blitzle: nature: jolly, ability: sap sipper Hp: 8 Att: 15 Def: 29 Sp. att: 28 Sp. def: 12 speed: 27 Onix: nature: careful, ability: sturdy Hp: 24 Att: 1 Def: 20 Sp. att: 31 Sp. def: 31 speed: 31 Espurr: nature: bashfull, ability: infiltrator Hp: 20 Att: 23 Def: 29 Sp. att: 29 Sp. def: 13 speed: 29 Btw, my frogadier is female. Does that mean that it will be easier to breed with her?

Thanks for the quick reply! I will stick with it and start building my team! Do you (or anybody else) have some recommendations for a good starter team?

Goodmorning, I just started playing this game, and it's the first time that I'am paying attention to the nature and IV's of my pokemon. Now I wonder if my starter pokemon is any good or that it is recommended to start over: Froakie's IV stats are: HP 20 Attack 24 Defense 24 Sp. Att 22 Sp. Def 24 Speed 22 Nature: Naive Ability: Protean Kind regards, Dash
