Chris P. Bacon Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (Note - I'm not sure if any event in the story (pre V6) counts as a Spoiler - sorry in advance.) I am currently doing a Grass Monorun of Rejuvenation, and I'm afraid I've hit an impass. I can't seem to go any further because of sheer difficulty. I've reached Goldenleaf Town, and I was about to head into the gym, until I was surprised by Aelita. I just can't seem to beat her. My current team consists of: Lv. 36 Weepinbell (Chlorophyll) w/ Vine Whip, Stun Spore, Growth, Knock Off (currently holds nothing) Lv. 36 Parasect (Effect Spore) w/ Spore, Poison Powder, Slash, Fury Cutter (currently holds nothing) Lv. 38 Sawsbuck (Chlorophyll) w/ Take Down, Horn Leech, Jump Kick, Feint Attack (currently holds Rose Incence) Lv. 38 Cherrim (Flower Gift) w/ Sunny Day, Growth, Leech Seed, Petal Dance (currently holds Quick Claw) Lv. 38 Tangrowth (Chlorophyll) w/ Knock Off, Wild Charge, Growth, Giga Drain (currently holds nothing) Lv. 39 Chesnaught (Bulletproof) w/ Stacking Shot, Spiky Shield, Seed Bomb, Rollout (currently holds Miracle Seed) (I also have a Phantump and Budew in storage) My usual strategy for a fight was to set up Sunny weather using Cherrim, and then using it with Growth from Tangrowth, Cherrim and Weepinbell to attempt to sweep the enemy team. Cherrim can use Sunny Day in the first turn, but then loses a little over half its health to Scraggy's Ice Punch. It can't one-shot Scraggy either - not without a lucky crit or with one use of Growth. Hawlucha is also another problem. My only Pokémon that can tank his Aerial Aces is Tangrowth, and he can one shot Hawlucha with a 2x Growth (or 1x Growth under the sun) Wild Charge - though this is negated if the AI decides to use Bulk Up. (I'm usually screwed afterwards) Mienfoo is probably the least threatining Pokémon she has, I haven't had much issue with it. Gallade is slightly hard, though I seem to take care of it easily with Sawsbuck as it lacks a fighting-type move. Lastly, her Blaziken. I don't even know what to do to her Blaziken - the only point I got to see it was when 4 out of 6 of my Pokémon had kicked the bucket (leaving only Parasect and Chesnaught) and I haven't seen it since. Considering it has Speed Boost... oh dear. So, I turn to the forums for advice - is there any Pokémon (that is part Grass-type) or strategy that I should try using for this fight? I would be greatly thankful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berlyda Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Shiftry has Chlorophyll and Extrasensory, as well as Growth, so it could sweep if you set up correctly. I think Nuzleaf is in Sheridan somewhere, and hopefully you have a spare Leaf Stone. If not, Nuzleaf miiight suffice, but will require another Growth probably.

Is there somewhere I can get a Leaf Stone other than mining rocks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laggless01 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 You can also breed Extrasensory on Budew with that Nuzleaf (Shiftry doesn't lear Extrasensory, Nuzleaf does around level 35 or so), eventually getting a powerful Roserade. If you're trying to catch a female Budew in the forest, I wish you good luck, cause I didn't had that when I tried that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are definitely one or two somewhere, but I can't remember where, sorry. Stones are sometimes rewards from help quests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
