In-game Team (Kiki)

[Nova]

I dediced to do another Reborn run waiting for the next episode and i've just defeated Kiki with this team. Thoughts?

Sharpedo (F)

Ability: Speed Boost

Level: 39

- Crunch

- Aqua Jet

- Ice Fang

- Screech

Finished the Aqua gang questline early and got this helpful fella. He kan heavily damage nearly anything, but it can't take a hit

Gothitelle (F)

Ability: Shadow Tag

Level: 42

Hardy (None)

- Charge Beam

- Psychic

- Psyshock

- Tickle

Charge Beam + Psychic and Tickle + Psyshock provide two useful combos to deal with both physically and specially defensive opponents.

Infernape (M)

Ability: Iron Fist

Level: 43

Brave (+Atk, -Spe)

- Close Combat

- Flare Blitz

- Fury Swipes

- Taunt

My starter mon and my main powerhouse. I think i'll have to give it some common candies because i don't have Aya's badge yet.

Luxray (F)

Ability: Intimidate

Level: 40

Adamant (+Atk, -SpA)

- Charge

- Bite

- Thunder Fang

- Swagger

Intimidate and Charge allow it to take both physical and special hits. I am planning to replace this one with Heliolisk, but i can't find a Sun Stone yet.

Cofagrigus (M)

Ability: Mummy

Level: 42

Timid (+Spe, -Atk)

- Will-O-Wisp

- Ominous Wind

- Hex

- Curse

The newest addition to my team. Will-o-wisp + Hex for combos, Curse for boss battles and Ominous Wind for RNG sweeps.

Granbull (F)

Ability: Intimidate

Careful (+SpD, -SpA)

Level: 40

- Outrage

- Close Combat

- Headbutt

- Bite

Bred it with my Infernape for good IVs and Close Combat. Works pretty well, but it doesn't have any STAB attacks yet

Notable PC mons:

-Emolga (32, Mild, Motor Drive) Nuzzle, Acrobatics, Double Team, Electro Ball

-Swalot (34, Calm, Gluttony) Sludge, Rock Smash, Body Slam, Toxic

-Liepard (33, Hardy, Prankster) Cut, Assurance, Assist, Sand-Attack

Granbull learns Play rough at level 43.

Replace Luxray ASAP. I you can find a Sun while mining. Just save in front of the rock you're going to mine, maybe active a speed hack, and start mining. If you don 't get a sun stone just soft reset until you do.

If you go back to E12 or earlier, you can get and train up a Goldeen to breed Waterfall onto Sharpedo to give it an actually decent Water STAB attack.

Uproar would be a good move for Gothitelle, at least for now, so grab yourself a Spinda. After Luna, you could also go back to E12 and breed Lotad/Petilil>Cacnea>Gothitelle for Energy Ball and Dark Pulse.

Instead of Taunt and Fury Swipes, I'd say run with Thunder Punch and either Acrobatics or Fake Out.

I'm 99% sure that you can mine up Sun Stones, so you can already get your Heliolisk. Thunderbolt, Dark Pulse, Grass Knot and Surf/HP Ice sounds good to me. There's a Grass Knot TM in E13 or you can use the Pansage in Aventurine forest to breed in E12 (Pansage>Scraggy>Helio) But keep in mind that, for Surf, the Solar Power boost is not enough to make up for the sun-caused decrease in power. And what's worth mentioning is that (although it's not really "legal") you can get yourself a Toxic Orb by abusing a glitch and the Facade TM from the Game Corner, Guts Luxray might be worth using with those two.

In the Wasteland, you can get yourself a Spiritomb which passes on Nasty Plot (and Memento, though it's not that great a move). Nasty Plot, Trick Room, HP Fighting and Shadow Ball make this thing a monster.

Once you get to that point, just swap Headbutt for Play Rough and Bite for Crunch and you're good to go.

The team looks good outside of Luxray. It's a pretty poor mon in Reborn even compared to Gamefreak's games.

I guess i'll try some resetting for mining to get that Sun Stone . Then i'll breed Helioptile for Grass Knot and evolve it to replace Luxray.

Infernape learns Acrobatics at a higher level, so i'll replace Taunt with that,and relearn Mach Punch instead of Fury Swipes.

I continued playing for a while, even beat Garchomp on the first try with Intimidate spamming, and Granbull got Play Rough so STAB's not a problem anymore.

Thanks for the feedback, this is actually the first team where I don't horribly fail on nearly every Gym Battle
