Ok thanks, I actually probably still need to do some quests in Agate city as I stopped there few months ago on my previous run. Galladite is probably the only really nice rewards for the team I use there (A-Ninetales, Eelektross, Gallade, Excadrill, Topaxex, Volcarona) and while Naganadel is cool, that's way too much assle to get it so late in the game. I might have enought to get Froakie though. And if I decide to cheat, then I can as well just add them directly to my party with the console debug mod. But hey, if you are a completionist, good luck with that!

Well it is the first time I hear about that quest ! So please tell me more. And not an issue really, I have a backup of a "normal" run where I reached the end of E.18 so I can use that to get any pokemon available. But the reward better be good because that sounds a bit tedious to get every single pokemon of 7 generations... And don't worry about mods, everybody plays the way they want. And I am using some for QoL as well, without breaking the balance (like quick hatch among others).

Thanks, that's what I thought. I got Vullaby as Mystery egg reward, which is not too bad. As I said I love walls and I will try to build Mandibuzz as one, with Toxic + Roost. I actually just realised I should stop levelling it now until I get my egg move. I have a Ducklet so I'll be able to get Roost on Vullaby eventually. Add Brave Bird and Punishment and I should have a lovely annoying pokemon as I like it! Or even Whirlwind to spread Toxic. I like this challenge as it forces me to play some pokemon and tactics I would have never tried otherwise. Like I just discovered how good Prankster Meowstic is with Reflect + Light Screen holding Light Clay. 8 turns of both screens + psychic STAB allowed it to murder Shade, even with the Dark/Ghost vulnerability... And I will still get new available pokemon for the end game anyway, like Metagross, Gardevoir, Flygon, Lucario or all fossile pokemon.

If I remember we get Gastly really late game right? Or is it still one of the mystery egg pokemon? As someone who grew up with Gen 1, Gengar has a special place in my heart so I'll make room for it in my team for sure. Even if no Thunderbolt and Sludge Bomb TM makes it impossible to run my favorite moveset. I hope Episode 19 will give us all of that. I got all Pokemon from the casino (had to farm money in Great Hall, why are coins so expensive...), but apart from Nido, haven't used them really. In my rules this is fine as I didn't use pokeball to get them. So technically it is not only Event Pokemon, as some of them also require to be caught so won't be in my team (such as Gourgeist, a shame as I love stallers and walls in general and this one is a nightmare for physical attackers). But I guess you could adapt to your own pleasure. That's what is so good with Reborn, so many way to play it to enjoy it.

Thanks, I might drop Infernape and Meowstic for Arcanine and Medicham and give it a try then. I know Arcanine is great (and fire in general always useful in Reborn) but I never used Medicham, might be a good surprise. And I love Galvantula with Sticky Web / Thunder Wave / Electro Ball / Bug Buzz, but unfortunatly I can't get it according to my rules. Even if it is an Event pokemon, you need to fight and catch it and I am running with no pokeball at all ! Sharpedo might get a place later with the Mega form.

Clefable is a Special Wall, setting up quiver dance is not really useful as you want to hit it with strong physical attack, not special attack. Nidoking or Toxicroak learn Poison Jab which should be enough to beat it if you don't have good steel pokemon. If the grassy terrain is a problem, change it ! Get a pokemon with Electric terrain move or destroy it with Flamthrower or Lava Plume for example. Alternatively, just cheese it with Destiny Bond (Sharpedo should have it as egg move if you joined Aqua), Perish Song (Murkrow), Toxic (Roserade, use focus stash if you get 1-shot)... No shame doing that if you can manage the rest of the team with your other pokemon.

I think a strong fighting pokemon could be a nice addition for this fight in particular. I don't see your Ribombee or even Blastoise being useful there, so consider using Scrafty or Toxicroak instead. Moxie Scrafty destroys half of Noel's team and is bulky enough to survive. And Toxicroak will murder that annoying Clefable with poison jab. Also you miss a strong pokemon to take care of Swellow which can be really annoying and reck your strategy with U-Turn. Consider a spokemon like Eelektrik, who doesn't have any weakness and learn the super usefull Thunderbolt and Acid spray (evolve after that of course, lvl 49),

By the way, those are my current pokemon in PC:

Hi Guys, I discovered Reborn only a couple years ago but I've trully enjoyed the game so far, brought back so much memories for someone like me we grew up with Gen 1... So first of all, big thanks to the devs. I completed a full run already and was looking for more challenge. Not huge fan of mono-run (I tried poison and grass but didn't push too much) and add the idea of doing this "No Pokeball" Challenge. Which means I am not going to catch any pokemon, only using starter + Events Mon that don't need to be caught. So far so good, this is my team after Corey and you can see the result after Zel Pulse Muk fight. As you can see, I clearly dominated him :) What's your opinion on the team and good mons I could add? I think I got lucky with Vullaby egg, because I like Mandybuzz as a staller late game with Roost + Toxic, but it is quite useless at the moment. Also not sure I will ba able to breed roost with my restrictions, so I might just bench it now and forever... I am planing to add Flygon and Gardevoir/Alakazam for Meowstic and Camerupt later. I also have Sharpedo, but it just gets 1-shot none stop before speed boost comes to play. Any help or advise is appreciated. Thanks
