First thing you want to do is take blastoise and launch it into the moon. That's one of the worst pokemon in Reborn playthrough. 

 

Start golem. Use SR and then explode on glacion. This should destroy the field.

 

Then camerupt and aggron should be able to take care of most of her pokemon. 

 

IMO you need multiple better pokemon on your team because that's not going to cut it moving forward.

 

You should build around venasaur, camerupt, arcanine, vulpix to make a sun team.

I did it! So:

 

1) You can definitely leave the tower to train, lol, I'm just dumb. 

2) For any other strugglers, I used a combination of Mr. Mime's Light Screen, as well as Throh's wide guard and then just chipped away with fighting types like passimian and hariyama (fake out and brick break were essential), as well as mawile for ninetales and a water gem seismitoad to take out mamoswine

With which Pokemon do you start the fight? I guess with mawile? You can start off with it since it resist every single move from from Minior (You can maybe pump it up with Items like X Attack and such) try to keep your Mawile alive for Golisopod. (Explained down there)

I would personally switch out Camperut for Sharpedo since it outspeeds his entire team and can hit hard. If it has Rough Skin and Ice Fang you should use it against his Tyrantrum if still alive afterwards keep it for his Chandelure.  If you are pretty lucky maybe and one-shot them (very unlikely) use it against his Toucannon afterwards it should have finished his job sent next in your Meowstic (learn him Charge Beam instead of Future Sight maybe, but this is just personal preference). He will send out his Golisopod next for sure since Type advantage, switch out for your Mawile again.

It can almost resist his entire move Set. The first attack is always First Impression be sure to use first a X-Defend then heal up afterwards if the health is to low. Then you should be good it can tank some hits and it should go next for Aqua Jet. You did hit it and he will switch it out (Going for his Chandelure for sure if not already dead).

Even if my next tip sounds pretty dumb, but stay in for an sure switch in for your Sharpredo (Night Slash may be requiered to K.O it). 

What's left his half dead Golisopod and his Seviper. It should be now easy to finish off the fight.

(This is just a sueggestion since I had kinda the same team around. I can offer you a Aggron I don't really use it anyways and it has 1 Egg Move already, +Attack -Defense)

 

If you didn' tunlocked the move relearner (the key is in the railnet underground - you can even get there a Aaron - ) 

Edit: English isn't my main language so sorry if the grammar is not correct.

@Cuddly Lopunny

You don't have Psychic Memory for Silvally, I assume? Strength gets boosted by the field, so try using that. Nature Power is also really good, as it turns into Acrobatics. You don't seem to have many mons in your team that can learn Nature Power, so you might have to check your PC. If you need to train new mons, you could give Rufflet/Braviary a shot, you can catch one in the route with the Crustle puzzles. Psychic or Ghost-types are few and far between this point in the game, so if you haven't caught any beforehand, you're out of luck in that regard.

doublade - gentle - no guard - l45

iron head - swords dance  - destiny bond - shadow sneak 

I'd start with Empoleon and Flygon. If you don't mind grinding exp you can down-level Empoleon to get Swords Dance over Peck/Brine. Alternatively you can look at the Item Guide and sort by location and look through the maps you have already been through to find X items (X Attack, X Sp.Def etc). If you have gotten all the department store stickers available up to this point and buy an Air Balloon on the 4th floor and get empoleon to hold it so the Nidoqueen won't attack it directly the first turn. Spam Rock Slide with Flygon to hope for flinches while you setup with either swords dance or spam X items on Empoleon and sweep with it; this may take a couple soft resets to get good rng.

 

Some extra things you can try are getting the TM for Facade from the game corner and putting that on empoleon for better coverage; leveling the Vuplix to learn blizzard or even downgrading to 34 to teach it safeguard which is pretty decent on wasteland field to prevent status. If the weather is harsh sunlight you can buy ice cream from outside the Grand Hall which are your best option for healing items at this point in the game.

You could at least train your Klang up to 49 to evolve it.

It would be helpful to get more details on the course of the battle, like how do you start, which pokemon can you take out easily, which are a problem to you, etc..  Because as I see it, most of your pokemon seem to have an advantage against Sirius' pokemon, so it shouldn't be too hard for you. Maybe try out alternative ways on how to start the fight, and see if the battle proceeds differently. Or consider EV training if you haven't done so already.

What do you have in the PC? I recommend picking up a pokemon with super fang to deal with the dragalge and the toxapex. In addition, You might want to give the telluric seed to your claydol.

lose the manectric for her gym I'd say. you could try raising a walrein for her garchomp and have it hold lax incense/quick claw and soft reset until you get a blizzard off. Also try raising a roserade with grassy terrain, itll take away her field and make her seeds pointless, also helps a lot with later gyms.

Hardy. I shouldn’t need to say more, but dear Arceus he’s broken.

 

Samurott Level 90

Wave Incense

Shell Armor

Modest

Maxed EVs in Attack and Speed (Also note that he has max speed IVs and near perfect attack IVs)

- X Scissor

- Aqua Jet

- Razor Shell

- Swords Dance

 

Scolipede Level 90

Scope Lens

Speed Boost

Modest

Maxed EVs in Attack and Speed

- Mega Horn

- Protect

- Poison Jab

- Screech

 

Chandelure Level 90

Charcoal

Flame Body

(whatever nature gives special attack with less attack)

Maxed EVs in Special Attack and Speed

- Will-o-Wisp

- Flamethrower

- Shadow Ball

- Hex

 

Krookidile Level 90

Black Glasses

Intimidate

Jolly

Maxed EVs in Attack and Speed

- Crunch

- Brick Break

- Earthquake

- Foul Play

 

Zoroark Level 90

Wise Glasses

Illusion

(whatever gives special Attack and lowers Attack)

Maxed EVs in Special Attack and Speed

- Nasty Plot

- Night Shade (I think it’s called it can lower accuracy)

- Flamethrower

- Extrasensory (I have TM for Psychic don’t know if he can learn it or not)

 

Sigilyph Level 90

Leftovers

Magic Guard

Naive (I believe raises special defense lowers Attack)

Maxed EVs in Special Attack and Special Defense

- Fly (shadow ball or a recovery move would be nice to replace with)

- Cosmic Power

- Psychic

- Air Slash

 

So, as you can see, I took the time to EV train all of my Pokémon, and most of them have maxed Speed. Scolipede is also incredibly fast, AND has Speed boost. I took the advice from ??? and I thought I was in luck, as even my Chandelure was decently fast.

Even with +1 Speed, Scolipede can’t outspeed his Pokémon. I’m at the level cap, have one of the faster Pokémon in the game, maxed it’s Speed (has 28 IVs in speed) and yet it STILL can’t outspeed his Pokémon. His Pokémon are Level 92, above the level cap, making this stupidly hard. I know there are ways to make my team better, but not enough to revolutionize the battle. He still sweeps me with his Mega Aerodactyl and Lycanroc.

I get that I can probably get like a Bisharp or Ferrothorn (maybe not even that), but training it up is going to be a pain, plus getting the right EVs for it too. I also basically stuck with this one team the entire time playing it, only having some other members that are only up to level 50 - 60. Most notable of these is a Klingklang, but he’d be way to slow to even do anything.

Any advice?

If you're having problems with not outspeeding, whimsicott with prankster tailwind turn one will give you the tailwind boost if necessary.

something a lot of people did is use pokemon with wide guard, like mantine, which negates rock slide making the battle with hardy easier as he can't spam rock slide every turn.

What I did is I used a rain team so I had pelipper with drizzle switch in turn 1 (not be first pokemon out otherwise sand will stay up) and then used kingdra with choice specs to spam surf which should outspeed everything with it's swift swim ability. (you don't need choice specs it was something I had on me, water plate, wise specs or anything that boosts surf is fine.)  I had bulky pokemon like toxapex, aegislash, rotom-wash etc just for any switch ins and lower their hp.

 

I'd highly recommend trying tailwind prankster whimsicott to get the speed boost and swords dance once or twice with samurott and aqua jet/razor shell your way through, only issue is that it's double and the other pokemon will most likely rock slide so use any wide guard pokemon.

Ah, good thinking. Whimsicott comes with Prankster often, right? Or is it a secret ability? Either way, I might have an idea similar to what I did with Charolette, which is spamming surf. Though this time I can even X Special Attack. Combined with tailwind or Wide Guard that’d be it. Though what’s a good Pokémon that can learn Wide Guard?

With Charlotte, focus on breaking the field as soon as possible
A lot of the gym leaders's focus on the fields that's created to highly benefit them

Amaria for example lets her annihate you with 1 turn dives and surfs because of it

i'm pretty sure whimsicott comes with prankster naturally, not a hidden ability.

Here is a link to pokemon that can learn wide guard, You could probably use mantine and toxapex which both learn it through level up but choose your pick.

Definitely try spamming surf with a swift swim kingdra or something that can outspeed his team. Your samurott is good as well with swords dance aqua jet/razor shell to pick anything off

Here is a link to pokemon that can learn wide guard, You could probably use mantine and toxapex which both learn it through level up but choose your pick.

Definitely try spamming surf with a swift swim kingdra or something that can outspeed his team. Your samurott is good as well with swords dance aqua jet/razor shell to pick anything off

Wow, looking at this I see Mantine learning it AND getting Water Absorb. The only issue is I’ll need a Heart Scale to get Wide Guard, but that isn’t an issue, as you can find Luvdisc in the same area as Mantine, plus I have Compound Eyes Galvantula with Thief so it shouldn’t be that bad. Thanks for the advice! I’ll finish Ep 18 today!

 

Edit: Literally just did this, first encounter is a level 71 Shiny Mantine with Water Absorb. Dang.

 

Edit 2: Did it! It wasn’t easy though, took several attempts to figure out the right strategy and a bit of luck getting Wide Guard to hit twice in a row, but I did it! Thanks so much for your help!
