Sr.F Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Pulse-Tangrowth hum... level up and buy many potions i guess xD PD: (Ekans in my experience with Wrap + Glare is useful with him) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Welcome to the forums Kuku, if you have a moment, please introduce yourself in the Grand Hall. Prinplup is your only well leveled pokemon, and it's a water type that's so high it won't even listen to you. You can go to the Candy Store in the Obsidia ward and buy common candies to lower it's level to 25 so that it will listen to you. Also, this goes without saying, you should level your other pokemon up some. One pokemon I'd recommend adding for this fight and the upcomming gym battle would be Trubbish since it gets Toxic Spikes and more importantly for the Tangrowth battle, Acid Spray which is super effective and lowers special defense by two stages each time.

NickCrash Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 PULSE Tangrowth is Grass/Poison. It will be of neutral damage, but the spD drop is your best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taska Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Yeah. Trubbish seems like a good choice. You may also want to get a Numel. You can do so when it's raining at the Reborn train station (where you start the game). Since it's got a ground typing, it can take 3 hits before it goes down from the Tangrowth. To take down the Tangrowth as easily as possible, just send out trubbish and use as many Acid Sprays as possible before it faints. Then send out Numel and burn it to the ground.

spark95 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I used the pansear you can get beneath the bridge. iirc, its a forest terrain and the flame burst can light the place up and do a lot of damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekwst3 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 a numel (thunderstorm event) is my little beast, he burns tangrowth but he is ground and immune to poison but yeah take the time and catch and train some of your pokemons mankey or makuhita both could help with a up coming battle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondon151 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Numel is not immune to poison... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight_Teutonic Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) I suggest you to revamp your team, with a couple of good pokemon suggestions, you can get rid of PULSE Tangrowth rather easily. As the others have already said, Pansear and Numel are good choices. Both can only be obtained during rainy weather, though. If it isn't raining, you can learn how to manipulate weather through this video guide made by nickaboo92: I also suggest a Klink (you can catch one at the eastern end of the underground railnet, accessible through central obsidia ward), its steel typing can provide immunity against PULSE Tangrowth's Acid Spray, as well as resistance against Vine Whip. Also, it learns Bind at lvl. 21, and binding movies are great to overcome its great defenses and bring it down. I see you have a Pachirisu, it can learn Nuzzle at lvl. 19, which is able to paralize PULSE tangrowth, giving you some breathing space for your other pokemons to attack. I hope this helps you.

Bearadactyl Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I second Trubbish, Acid Spray was my best friend against Tangrowth; wrecked his Sp. Def. and wiped the floor with him not long after, even if Trubbish falls if you keep Koffing you should be able to follow up with Sludge; and for the love of all that is pure, don't use Clear Smog given it will reset its Sp. Def. You're up for some Grinding regardless of what you do in order to get your team up to par, Poison Based teams fair pretty well in Reborn; at least from my experience given they're my type preference. Though, you might want something for Steel and Psychic Types down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuku Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 oh wow lol thanks guys its been years since ive played pokemon in general so im just elderly all over the place :feelsgn: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaneapen Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I third trubbish. Trubbish is amazing for the first 3 gyms and it comes in handy against the tangrowths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mortally Divine Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 You could also level up a burmy with trash coat so that it become bug/steel type, and it will learn confusion (which is super effective) and the steel typing makes it immune to poison.

Dr. Zexal Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 if you level trubbish up be sure to keep toxic spikes in because when the fight starts you can throw them down and it can actually help alot later in the battle , if you throw throw them down twice it has the effect of toxic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netbean Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Espurr>>>Meowstic with psy moves wins, but i remember killing him with ekans>>arbok after using 3 times screech. Arbok died, but god bless him, he made me win PS: Now if you had started with charmander, you would have learnt dragon rage and that would have been another story.
