No, the keyword is written in lower case.

I got it, thanks! Edit: Okay, I deciphered the URL, but it doesn't accept it as a keyword

Did you figure it out? I feel like I'm close to solving it, but not quite there yet.

It's not too hard to guess. It's not a person. Think along the lines of something very valuable and expensive.

I know. But I can't quite figure out if it's a word, sentence, number combination or something entirely else Inspecting the code of the page doesn't help either.

Does the URL mean something? The letters seem random, but maybe it's a hint?

Did you enter the correct keyword? You can access a new page from there.

Got it. But I don't really get what we are supposed to do after entering the keyword and opening the page...

I see Fairy is in the lead, but that's honestly a rather hard challenge. You only have one option at the beginning, Popplio. You can only get other Fairy types after your first Gym Badge, and all of those are not the best. Poison is number 2 in the poll, and almost all of the Poison types are available in the early and mid game. You'll struggle against Steel types(and Ground and Psychic types in the beginning), but you'll get decent options to deal with them later on. Whatever type wins, a good strategy for monotypes is to take advantage of TMs and egg moves. TMs like Hidden Power and Nature Power can teach a Pokémon a valuable coverage move, and some Pokémon learn great egg moves to further diversify their movepool. Also, try to use the EV training rooms at the laboratory as soon as possible to gain advantage against early opponents. Good luck with your monotype!

Change the weather with the weather board to snow/hail in the main street of Grand Dream City. A female trainer with red hair close to the weather board will thank you and give you a Casteliacone.

You need to breed a female Roggenrola with a male Probopass that knows Wide Guard.

Good luck and take all the time you need! We'll be patiently waiting.

Maybe also a Pokémon with Synchronize as its ability to get a preferred nature easier.

Corsola appears at the Apophyll Beach when it's raining. You can encounter one close to the northern cave, but you need Pokésnax to interact with it. After the city restoration, Corsola can be found in the underwater houses in the Azurine Lake, but the encounter rate is only 1%.

Try to change the weather to something more beneficial using Castform, or try to take advantage of the sandstorm with Stoutland's Sand Rush. Also, I think Oranguru learns Psychic Terrain, so you could change the field to disrupt Ryland's strategy.

I think you need to solve the puzzle at Helix Cave first.

If I remember correctly, you have to go to the lower part of Route 9(where the gate to Grand Dream City is). Erin should be there and you should be able to access the Scholar District after talking to her.

Piplup is available later on. Also, Empoleon is currently not very good in Rejuvenation, sadly. TM Flash Cannon is not available and that's Empoleon's only option as a special Steel STAB move. A physically oriented Empoleon can work, but it is suboptimal.

There are also several Pokémon with the move Water Sport available. Water Sport seems like a useless move, but it can stop the effects of the burning field. If you use Water Sport before Vulpix uses Flame Burst, the grass field will not catch fire. Magby also knows Flame Burst, so keep that in mind. As for your possible Fire type counters, Buizel is available if you have a Poké Candy(you can buy one in the Pokémart). Surskit, Poliwag and Lotad are available, and Numel is also a possible option. Numel can learn Magnitude which sadly doesn't deal a lot of damage because of the grass field, but it takes reduced damage from Fire type attacks. Another option is a Bibarel with Rollout.

You need Strength and Dive to completely explore Honec Woods. Like @RoyChaos said, you have to defeat the Grass type Gym Leader to progress. Go back to the train and a small cutscene should play out. Afterwards, go back to Darchlight Woods, to the place where it constantly rains(it's the area before the place where you met Flora and Florin and fell through the ground). After obtaining the badge, it should be quite clear where to go next.

Pichu evolves into Pikachu when Pichu's happiness is high enough. You can raise happiness by using certain berries, using vitamins, walking around a lot and levelling up the Pokémon. A tip: Pichu learns Nasty Plot at lv. 13, so it's best to wait with evolving till Pichu has learnt Nasty Plot.

That's a good point. There are not a lot of decent Water types available in the beginning, so your best options for Narcissa are Floatzel, Basculin, Seaking and possibly Vaporeon if you got the Eevee from the help centre. Also, Quagsire and Lumineon can learn Flash to change the field. I remember it was doable, but still quite hard to beat her.

I did a similar run recently and I chose Froakie as my starter. Yes, its stats and movepool are very average and not impressive in the beginning, but it gets better later on in the game once you gain access to the TMs for Dark Pulse, Grass Knot and Surf. Also, all other Water type starters are available as overworld encounters or gifts.

Sorry for my late reply! The TM for Grass Knot is actually located in the Garufan Ruins where Groudon is. It's in a room close to one of the puzzle rooms, you have to climb down some vines to access it. A lot of Pokémon can learn Grass Knot, even non-Grass types. Other options to beat Groudon are stalling it with Protect/Detect/Spiky Shield/etc to let it faint from the poison, or using a fast Pokémon with Destiny Bond.

Did you already beat Groudon? If not, you should try to teach one of your Pokémon Grass Knot. Groudon is a heavy Pokémon and weak to Grass, so it should do a lot of damage.
