Mono Gen Challenge [Gen 2]

[Genesis]

That is exactly the situation in which Rock Tomb on Sudowoodo is so damn helpful. It drops opponent's speed by 1 stage and inflicts some pretty serious damage. Thunder Wave is generally more useful since it drops them 2 stages and gives a chance at them not moving, but I like that Rock Tomb does damage too.

Yeah, clearly there are quite a number of different strategies so it goes even further to show that almost all pokemon are usefull when setup with the right movepool and items. Something I intend to prove with my run by making sure I use at least 1 to 2 new members for each gym challenge.

With the next one being Radomus I am even open for some nominees on what I have available to use.

I have pretty much forgotten all the gym leaders teams from this point onwards, although I am really looking forward to T3RR4 since she is my personal favourite character in the game.

On a side note I caught a shiny sudowoodo as well and I am thinking of using it as a 1 purpose niche pokemon. what the use is I haven't decided yet

[Genesis]

I was also meaning to ask, as you leave Citae Arc-D'Astrae there's a script from some unknown entity saying you should go back so that you can play.

Anybody know what this is about? I have gone back a few times since and nothing different has happened

It was a popular discussion topic - but of course, currently no one has a clear idea on who that voice belongs to. I think most of us are speculating it to be the voice of the girl Adrienn saw while xe was trapped there.

[Genesis]

Update: Braun trumps Brains??

*comic sans ftw

So, the team had just defeated Ditto Arceus and were feeling pumped, but Scarlet had other plans. Off to the grand hall to grind up some new team members. Since this was a double battle, Scarlet decided to bring in an old favourite.

This was the team going in to Radomus:

Leads: Megatron Level 55 & NurseJoy level 57 followed by Ronda Level 60 50Hentais level 57 LillyD level 60 and Kraken level 58

I didn't have much of a strategy other than just trying to deal out as much damage as I could while trying to keep the team alive. I had many options to use, but in the hopes of keeping things fresh I thought I would try some new members.

Cain was having a bit of a gender bender and was a little too enthusiastic in his support for Scarlet, but we will just keep leading him on and giving him the silent treatment - not like I can say anything anyway~

Megatron and NurseJoy vs Reuniclus and Gallade

• Gallade OHKOs MurseJoy with close combat
• Megatron Freezes and leaves Gallade with a scrap of HP after a tri attack.
• Reuniclus leaves megatron with very little HP after a focus blast

Megatron and 50Hentais vs Gallade and Reuniclus

• ultra Potion to Galade
• Tri attack from Megatron leaves Reuniclus with 1/2 HP
• 50 Hentais Power splits on gallade
• Reuniclus KOs Megatron

Ronda and 50Hentais vs Gallade and Reuniclus

• Ronda Megahorn KOs Reuniclus /moxie
• Gallade defrosts and uses knock off on 50hentais little damage.
• 50Hentais uses rock slide NE

Ronda and 50 Hentais vs Gallade and Metagross

• a close combat from Ronda nearly OHKOs Metagross. It is left with a little HP
• Metagross crits against Ronda leaving her with 1/3 HP
• Gallade uses Ice punch on 50 Hentais little damage
• 50Hentais uses bug bute on Gallade takes 1/4 HP
• Next turn
• Ultra potion to Metagross
• Close combat leaves Metagross with little HP
• Gallade KOs Ronda with stregnth
• Bug bite misses metagross

LillyD and 50Hentais vs Metagross and Gallade

• Gallade and Metagross gang up on 50 Hentais and KO it
• LillYD goes underground

LillyD and Kraken vs Metagross and Gallade

• Gallade and Metagross gang up on Kraken leaving it with 1/2 HP
• LillyD KOs Metagross with Dig
• Kraken takes Gallade down to 1/2 HP with Psybeam

At this point I thought it wass pretty much futile since Radomus was leading 2 to 4., but I decided to push on anyway.

LillyD and Kraken vs Gallade and Malamar

• Kraken OHKOs Malamar with signal beam (WTF?)
• Gallade uses Close Combat on LillyD taking 1/3 HP
• LillyD KOs Gallade with an iron tail

In one turn it's become a tie!

But -

LillyD and Kraken vs Goosip Gardevoir and Slowking

• G Gardevoir uses psychis leaving LillYD with 1/3 HP
• Kraken's Hydro Pump misses
• LillyD OHKOs G Gardevoir with Iron Tail
• Slowking KOs Kraken with a psychic

OMG. Its 1 vs 1. What do I do???

• Hyper Potion to LillYD
• Scald crits and LillyD only survives thanks to sturdy
• Hyper potion
• Scald, sturdy, leaves a burn and I die,
• F*ck.
• F12 - I aint wasting 2 of the 3 Hyper potions I managed to pickup.

[Genesis]

Update: Logic FTW

And a new font too, a manlier one. I blame comic sans for my previous loss.

After some shuffling this is the team going in:

Lead: Ronda and Megatron followed by Meganium, ScarletRose, LillyD and Kraken

Let's skip the intro-seductions shall we and head straight to the bedroo- I mean battlefield

Ronda and Megatron vs Gllade and Reuniclus

• Ronda OHKOs Reuniclus with MegaHorn /moxie
• Gallade uses close combat on Megatron (how did I forget, oh well)

ScarletRose and Ronda vs Metagross and Gallade

• Ronda uses Megahorn it misses (FML)
• ScarletRose uses flamethrower leaving metagross with almost no health (why does this always happen)
• Gallade close combats on ScarletRose leaving her in the red.
• Metagross uses ice punch on Ronda taking her to 1/2 HP
• Hyper Potion to metagross
• Now a flamethrower OHKOs metagross
• Megahorn misses AGAIN
• Gallade KOs ScarletRose with Knock off

Ronda and Kraken vs Gallade and Malamar

• Meganhorn finally hits and OHKOs Malamar /Moxie
• Gallade uses close combat on Kraken leaving it with a sliver of health
• Kraken returns the favour with a signal beam leaving Gallade with a sliver of HP as well

Ronda and Kraken vs Gallade and Slowking

• Ultra potion to Gallade
• Signal beam to Slowking and then a Megahorn KOs it/ Moxie

Ronda and Kraken vs Gallade and G Gardevoir

• Signal beam takes gallade to 1/2 HP
• Close Combat from Ronda KOs Gallade / M.O.X.I.E!
• G Gardevoir tries to use moon blast and misses

Ronda and Kraken vs G Gardevoir

• Signal beam and x infinity Moxie powered mega horn KO G Gardevoir.

Victory is ours.

I feel kind of disappointed since I didn't actually get a chance to see just how good some other pokemon could be. All in all however it was a much easier second round thanks to Ronda. Heracross so OP pls nerf

[Dragon116]

Heracross would be more OP if you equipped the wide lens from the nature preserve building. Well done. You almost had him in that first battle except the game was being massive hax.

[Genesis]

A wild update appeared!

Before we move on to the major update, can we all just take a minute to appreciate just how ugly this lady is:

Scarlet took great pleasure in putting this lady to rest.

With Radomus defeated, buttler El springs his trap to capture Luna and take out Scarlet in the process, but his plans are somewhat interrupted with Cain valiantly sacrificing himself for me, We get news to finally head over to 7th street.

I pick up another Cyndaquil in hope os having it EV trained or something, we will see. We also defeat the lady pictured above and the Aqua gang leader.

We then head to the cultists to rescue Luna. Scarlet battled through with gusto preparing for a bug showdown at the alter. Apparently my memory is yet again fuzzy as there is no big battle after defeating Luna. It's time to train up some pokemon for the battle against Luna in Iolia Valley. but first we catch a pokemon because (no seriously that's the one addition for the area, bringing the dex count to 70, there goes my 69 nvm, wynaut doesn't count to the dex total yet)

After training some pokemon up, we head to Iolia Valley again to work through the crystal plug puzzle at the end of which a really sad Bennette professes his undying love for Luna, yeah don't mind me over here.

I was actually pretty disappointed with this fight since Dragon116 handled larvesta and ScarletRose handled everyone else on his team in one shot.

so the team going in to Luna is as follows:

Lead: KillSwitch Level 64 ScarletRose level 63 Ronda level 63 Kraken 63 Junior 64 and Dragon116 64 (shiny sprite is actually white)

KillSwitch vs Caprenter (Bisharp)

• Carpenter uses Iron head and KillSwitch flinches
• Carpenter uses night slash and I setup electric terrain
• Carpenter uses iron head again and flinch again
• F*ck this flinch hax.
• F12 soft reset

Try again with Junior lead.

• Crpenter uses iron head takes 1/2 HP.
• Junior uses a close combat OHKOing carpenter

KillSwitch vs HumptyDumpty (Malamar)

• Malamar used night slash took nearly 1/2 HP
• KillSwitch sets up electric terrain
• Malamar used super power then got paralyzed to static
• Thunder leaves it with a scrap of HP
• Hyper potion and discharge
• 2nd discharge KOs Malamar

KillSwitch vs Bandersnatch (Tyranitar)

• Tyranitar outspeeds me and KOs with a crunch

Junior vs Bandersnatch

• Outspeeds again and EQ KOs Junior

Ronda vs Bandersnatch

• Close Combat OHKOs bandersnatch

Ronda vs JubJub Bird (Honchcrow)

• Rock Blast KOs Honchcrow (phew dodged a bullet there)

Ronda vs March Hare (sableye)

• Outspeeds me and uses confuse ray. I use close combat only to find out it doesn't affect sableye
• Quick google search to find out it's typing (wow only weakness is fairy, I would hate to go up against the mega of this)
• Rock blast KOs it on the next turn

Ronda vs Cheshire (Umbreon)

• Still confused ronda hurts herself almost OHKOing herself (wtf??)
• Dark pulse finishes her off
• RIP 1 v 5 streak

Dragon116 vs Cheshire

• Dark pulse vs Hammer Arm (sh!t this things Def really is cause hammer arm takes only 1/3 HP and Dragon116 is EV trained for Max Attack)
• Dark pulse crits, a second hammer arm leaves Cheshir with 1/3 HP
• 3rd dark pulse seals the deal

Kraken vs Cheshire

• Ultra potion to Cheshire
• Signal beam takes 1/4 HP this things sp def is through the roof sheesh.
• Toxic leaves kraken poisoned
• Hydro pump takes Cheshire down to half hp
• A boosted signal beam (from moody raising sp atk) KOs Cheshire after it uses another dark pulse
• Victory

I am not actually sure where I am going to head next. if I remember correctly it's on to Agate, so I may just stick around and grind up pokemon to he level cap before heading on. According to my knowledge I have caught everything from Gen 2 available up to this point so there's not much else to do.

TL:DR Hitmontop is the worst of the Hitmons. And other than Heracross there's virtually nothing else available in gen 2 that gives you fighting type

Edited November 25, 2015 by Genesis

[Genesis]

Update: the grindiest of grinds

2 Updates in 1 day?? What is this sorcery??

Nah just kidding, this is a normal update since the only real progress I have made is heading out to Agate Circus where Cain and Scarlet were greeted by the Queen of Booty Oh yeah, I can tell LillYD and her will get along real well. Though I still have no idea where that mallet went.

I spent the entire day training up a few pokemons trying to get them as close to the level cap as possible. I eventually gave up and got them to 60 and a few of them EV trained since there aren't many nice areas to EV train from this point onwards.

I have some goals to set and things I am looking forward to.

Most Notably is the fight against MewTwo. I am still thinking of a strategy for that.

Then I am excited for getting Politoed and Kingdra though I definitely won't enjoy the searching for their evo items and their 5% chance of being held.

Goals are to beat Ciel and Ep15 and to complete my pokedex as far as possible. I honestly have no idea how difficult this will be due to the limited options I have available to take on the next gym leaders.

[Dragon116]

OMG IM SHINY WOO.

Umbreon is the staunchest defender of the Eevee line, with 110 base def and 130 base sp.d, coupled with a fantastic 95 base HP. Leafeon is the only one with a higher defense at 130, but 65 HP is pretty bad.

I like the whole Eevee line, my dream is to one day have an Eeveelution for each type

Update Brains vs Braun - AGAIN??

What is this madness? Did we not already just have this challenge? Oh, but this time it's my brains vs someone else's braun... Yelp.

With having grinded the hell out of everything I thought would be viable, spending 2 hours hunting for a kings rock on hawluchas and clearing the route 2 puzzle I will admit Scarlet was in a bit of a rush to challenge Samson and personally believed she was underlevveled.

This is the team going in:

Lead: Junior level 68 then YeahMan level 64 Batman level 62 DankBudz level 60 Godzilla level 62 and Misery level 60

Junior vs Hariyama

• Detect spares Junior from a Heavy slam
• Rock smash as used as I was hoping Hariyama would use Belly drum, got a weak. Hariyama used heavy slam again and got a powerful leaving Junior with 7 HP
• Junior used close combat - weak. Hairiyama KOd him

Dank Budz vs Hariyama

• I thought he would heal so I used leach seed only to get a powerful smackdown leaving DankBudz with 8HP.
• Acrobatics is used to finish it off and DankBudz dies to rocky helmet

Batman vs Lucario since I had no idea who was next

• They exchange blows a bullet punch and acrobatics
• Another set of bullet punch and acrobatics
• Ultra potion and acrobatics crits
• Acrobatics finishes it off

Godzilla vs Blaziken

• Blaze kick takes me down to half HP despite being NE. I setup Aqua ring
• An OK brick break crits and KOs Godzilla before it can use Hydro Pump WTF.

Yeah Man vs Blaziken

• Blaze kick hits and burns me. Psychic hits Blaziken taking it down to 1/3 HP. After burn damage i have 1 HP on YeahMan
• Blaze kick KOs

Batman vs Blaziken

• Blaze Kick KOs due to triple speed boost

Misery vs Blaziken:

• Bkaze Kick OHKO F12

Second round. Now that I have a better Idea of who is in the team I changed the lead to Misery.

Misery vs Hariyama

• Psychic leaves it with red HP and retaliates with an OVER 9000 smack down leaving misery with 21 HP
• Hyper potion/ psychic
• Hyper Potion/ Psychic KOs

Batman vs Meinshao

• Acrobatics OHKO

Junior vs Lucario

• Bullet punch hits and a nice Close combat causes Lucario to hang on with its focus sash
• Extreme speed takes Junior down to 1/3 HP, close combat KOs Lucario

Batman vs Blaziken

• Acrobatics leaves blaziken with a scrap of HP, blaze kick misses. His speed boost activates
• he withdraws blaziken for Hawlucha, acrobatics hits it and takes it down to 1/3 HP
• Sitrus berry restores HP. It sword dances and is KO with another Acrobatics
• Back to blaziken
• Acrobatics KOs it

Batman vs Konkeldurr

• Acrobatics takes konkeldur to 1/2 HP. It uses poison Jab trololol (smack down ??)
• Second acrobatics leaves it in the red. Knock off takes BatMan down to red HP too
• 3rd acrobatics KOs it

Success!

I guess it goes to show that a team can be good or bad just depending on how it is set up. I am kind of bummed I didn't get to use Mantine more, but due to a lack of TMs it hasn't got the best move set currently

With Samson defeated we receive the Fury badge and brick break... . . . . ...... Now that we can use surf it's off to Ametrine, but first it's off to try and hunt for wild Horsea and a dragon's scale. I have already at least made peace with the fact that I will be giving up the next 2 hours of my life looking for this.

Oh and as usual T3RR4 is always dropping comments thick and hard probably like how women drop their panties around her and the thick and hard part - well I will leave that up to you to decide.....

[Genesis]

You get an update, you get and update, everybody get's an update

So with Samson defeated, it was back through route 2 and on to Titania's crib, where we get to read her diary. Amaria throws herself off a waterfall after reading it herself and finding out Titania never loved her (damn that's one relationship Scarlet would have been all over)

Now we need to get waterfall. It's funny because with the time it takes to get this you wonder how they even survive at the bottom of the waterfall.

The team discovers a huge ice berg blocking the path to Ametrine. Damn now we have to go around. But wait, Calcenon is under attack and we have to split up and I have to team up with Aya. Ewwww (JK Scarlet would so tap that that while T3RR4 watches)

On a quick side note, when you are teamed up with Aya, this is probably the quickest way to level up your pokemon in the entire game, or at least during the Agate episode since after every battle you are refreshed. This and Crustles are the only way I don't lose my mind when grinding EXP in Agate. in a few hours I had most of my pokemon and new team members at level 69. Yeah, I said it again. 69.

The Aster and Eclipse fight was quite hard the first time I tried since I was also trying to level up a new addition. And I lost, so I tried again with my main team where Kraken pretty much 1 v 8 or 9 of the team. Honestly this thing is a machine when moody plays in your favour. Eclipse's soul is devoured after she betrays team meteor who try to capture Scarlet who is saved by Aya who is then kidnapped. Man this is starting to look like a drama. We get to Calcenon and Hardy is pissed that they took his girlfriend. Oh well. We meet up with Charlotte who pretends to steal the ruby ring giving us a much needed diversion,

Cue Scarlet vs Charlotte.

The team:

Leads: Prince level 68 and Bankai level 68 followed by RocknRolla level 66 , Godzilla level 70 , Miss Piggy level 68 and Kraken level 69

The strategy: Since in my kllkast playthrough I had never even used a water pokemon up to this point it was a shot in the dark. Try to setup rainy day and when the Water fails EQ everything else to hell.

Prince and Bankai vs Darmanitan and Typhlosion

• Typhlosion and darmanitan use Heat wave and Rock slide leaving the team at around 1/2 Hp. The field combusts. Bankai is left with e burn. Ho a water pokemon can even get burnt has bothered me since gen 1 but anyway. F*ck physics
• Bankai puts out the blaze with a surf leaving both Typhlosion and Darmanitan in the red. Prince starts the rain.
• Hyper potions to both Typhlosion and Darmanitan.
• Bankais Surf heals Prince and deals reduced damage to Typhlosion and Darmanitan, steam rises and causes everyones accuracy to drop
• Princes surf KOs Darmanitan and Typhlosion. More steam rises

Prince and Bankai vs Rotom and Volcarona

• Bankai's surf only hits Volcarona. More steam
• Volcarona nearly KOs prince with a Giga Drain.
• A volt switch from rotom KOs Bankai switching out for delphox
• Prince's surf takes 1/3 HP from both Volcarona and Delphox and causes more steam

Prince and Rocknrolla vs Delphox and Volcarona

• Delphox psyschock misses
• Volcaronas Giga drain KOs Prince
• RocknRollas EQ leaves Volcarona with a scrap of HP and KOs Delphox

RocknRolla and GodZilla vs Rotom and Volcarona

• Godzilla sets up aqua ring
• Volcarona uses Hidden power on RocknRolla Not very effective.
• Rotom uses Volt switch on Godzilla nearly KOing it and sending in Ninetails which causes a rainbow.
• RocknRollas EQ KOs volcarona and leaves Ninetails with little HP. A sitrus berry brings it back into the yellow

RocknRolla and Godzilla vs Ninetails and Rotom

• Ninetails is faster than Godzilla and KOs it with Hidden Power.
• Rotom tries volt switch but doesnt affect rocknrolla
• An EQ from RocknRolla doesn't affect rotom but KOs Ninetails

MissPiggy and RocknRolla vs Rotom

• Rotom uses Overheat and OHKOs MissPiggy. Arceus rest her poor soul.
• RockNRolla uses rollout and does little damage at start

RocknRolla and Kraken vs Rotom

• Rotom uses volt switch and does nearly half damage to Kraken
• At risk og KOing my own pokemon Kraken uses psybeam does OK damage. But moody increases accuracy and lowers sp def.
• a second rollout from RocknRolla leaves Rotom with red HP
• If the next rollout connects it should be a win. IF.
• Luckily the next volt switch doesn't KO kraken and it kills off Rotom wih another psybeam

Very close, but victory!

With all that heat on the team I think I need to retire for the day and have a drink

[Dragon116]

Those are both really good fights. I've never tried using Moody, so it's cool to see how it works. Shame that it's too unpredictable to use in clutch situations, but could prove a fun diversion

I would also like to address the burning water question

Hahahaha classic!

Update: The fire burns bright, but is it bright enough

With Charlotte defeated it was on to Ametrine.

We headed to the pulse Avalugg who went down a lot easier with a leach seed from DankBudz and several Thunders from KillSwitch.

We denied Blakes request and had to solve the puzzle to open the secret cave to save Heather, which was relatively quick.

Then we followed blake up the mountain with the help of Cal, Shelly and Heather. I wish they would stay with you so you could grind some extra XP before battling Cal.

So we are nearly at the top when we face Aster, who because I had a team designed for Blake defeats me on my first attempt. Damn life orb making things tougher than they should be.

She went down the second time with a little bit of effort, but not as difficult as the first time.

Only remembering that Blake was an Ice leader. (I thought Serra was the official Ice gym leader?) but I could not remember what was on his team or even if he would only be using 6 pokemon. I was also nervous as hell becuase one of my newest team members was quite underlevelled. I am too lazy to go back and grind so I am hoping this team works:

We are fighting with Shelly, but this is my team: Nvm it's just a double battle with yourself and blake LOL

Leads: ScarletRose level 71 and Junior level 69 Dragon116 level 68 Ronda level 70 and Matilda level 63LillyD level 70

Firstly I would just like to say that Magcargos typing is terrible with a x4 weakness to ground and water. and several other weknesses to boot. Plus it has crappy stats.

ScarletRose and Junior vs Jynx and Fridge Rotom

• ScarletRose starts with an eruption to melt the snow leaving Rotom in the red and KOing Jynx. I set up detect on Junior since I wasn't sure on the speeds and what would happen after eruption
• Rotom Thunder bolts ScarletRose taking her to 1/2 HP

ScarletRose and Junior vs Weaville and Fridge rotom

• potion to Rotom
• Weaville outspeeds scarletrose and uses nightslash leaving her in the red. She uses eruption and barely tickles the 2 foes. Should have gone with flamethrower
• Junior uses close combat on weaville KOing it
• Hail KOs ScarletRose

Ronda and Junior vs Vaniluxe and Fridge Rotom

• Ronda OHKOs Vanilluxe with close combat /moxie
• Fridge rotom uses Blizzard taking Junior and Ronda down to red HP
• Junior KOs rotom with close combat

Ronda and Junior vs Froslass and Walrein

• I am conflicted to choose who to take out. I can most likely KO one of them, but both are big threats for the rest of the team.
• Froslass thunderbolts and KOs Junior
• Ronda KOs Walrein with close combat/ moxie

Ronda and Dragon116 vs Froslass

• Ronda goes in for Matilda
• Dragon116 uses a sucker punch leaving froslass with 1/4 Hp
• Froslass uses blizzard and freezes matilda. First we burn water now we freeze fire?

• Froslass uses a shadow ball taking Matilda down to 1/4 HP
• Dragon116 finishes it off with a stone edge.

Victory!

It was less difficult than I thought it would be. I definitely didn't expect Matilda to survive.

Up next was a real problem however:

Mewtwo and Terra.

[Genesis]

And my fears were confirmed. Mewtwo wrecked my team. I dreaded more EXp grinding so after an hour I deciding to keep resetting until Mewtwo derped out.

It was too fast for my Heracross (Ronda) despte being EV trained, so I sent out Ampharos KillSwitch and spammed reset until it used a move that didn't one shot and paralysed it with discharge and the OHKOd with a megahorn for Ronda.

A quick team change since KillSwitch would be useless and the team for T3RR4 is as follows: Whoops can't change team. Yikes.

So the team is as follows:

Lead RocknnRolla level 67 , Bankai level 70 , Meganium level 69 , MissPiggy level 68, KillSwitch level 69 , and Ronda level 72

Let's see how this goes....

• Draco meteor misses again just like all of team meteors efforts to stop me mwuahahaha
• Surf now leaves Rawrchomp with just under 1/2 HP
• Draco Meteor hits this time. It's a KO
• Who's next? Huh bring it.

Kraken vs Rawrchomp

• Draco Meteor takes 1/2 HP
• Ice beam takes the other 1/2 from Rawrchomp. Together we make one. Wait no, octopus, no where are those tentacles going (to find out more, visit any japanese hentai website to find out exactly what happened to Rawrchomp and T3RR4)

Success!!

With that we get the gravity badge, giving us access to Waterawr. Thanks T3RR4, for making sure you always keep me wet.

Although I really should get on to saving Titnia and Amaria, it's on to some pokemon hunting to try and complete the pokedex as much as possible

[Genesis]

Update and the Pokedex is done.. for now

With the defeat of T3RR4 under Scarlet's belt there's onl the water treatment centre, the battle at Titania's crib and Ciel to go before this episode run is complete up to ep15.

With an accidental discovery, I managed to make my way back to reborn city where I was able to make the final additions to my pokedex. Meet the following new members:

Special mention to the following team additions:

Amethyst , Zeplin , Bankai (Kingdra) and Prince (Politoed) and Matilda (Magcargo) have already been introduced but are new from the last dex entry

Cleffa Wobbuffet Gligar Toxicity Sneasel (only reason this didn't make it to thee team is becuase I already have Ciel's team planned out)

Santa Elekid and Magby

That brings the pokedex count up to 84/100 or since there are 16 pokemon I cannot catch, 84/84. I may break the rules a little once I have completed the run to trade for Togepi and Marill. As a place marker, let me know if there are any event pokemon that interest you and I will get them specifically for trade. The IVs don't bother me as I just want completion.

Prof Oak:

So you've come to rate your pokedex have you? Captired 84/100. Your pokedex is almost complete. Did you know some pokemon only exist in the ether? You should try having some patience and wait for when the ones you don't own are released.

Some can be obtained through *special* methods.

Come back to get a rare item when you have completed your pokedex.

[Dragon116]

Damn those are quite a few updates. T3RR4 dun got hentai'd. Dem roofies ain't got nuthin on octococky.

So some pokemon exist in the ether? That seems fair.

[Genesis]

Damn those are quite a few updates. T3RR4 dun got hentai'd. Dem roofies ain't got nuthin on octococky.

So some pokemon exist in the ether? That seems fair.

Haha Octacocky. That may just be a new nickname....

And I am not sure where you would classify MissingNo in the pokedex. If I remember correctly, it was number 151 in the National dex before the release of gen 2 or something to that effect. Too lazy to go read up on the details. But with the exception of cheating/ hacking the pokemon not available into the game, (which I would have no clue as to how to even try to do) They exist, somewhere in reborn, but at the same time they don't.. Perhaps ether was wrong and I should have mentioned shrodingers meowth?

[Genesis]

Update the water runs deep

So we made our way to cleanse the water treatment centre. Since I had already levelled up my main team to level 74 each. I was afraid of overlevvelling and brought some backups. I was quite worried they would not handle the task. but

To be perfectly honest, I feel bad each time we take out one of these pulse machines...

Then we head on to Save Amaria and battle Taka.

This is the team going in:

[Dragon116]

Damn that was a long ass post. Your team performed well for being at lv 70. Kraken didn't give you much luck in any of those fights besides killing one foe, or tanking a discharge during the last one. Looking forward to how you deal with CIel.

[Genesis]

Update: Thong droppers and Heart stoppers: Ciel's walk of shame

As we head to the final battle of this episode, Scarlet is filled with a bunch of emotions, some sad and and some happy. It has been a long 96 hour journey to this point. Many friends were made, battles won and lost and with that all coming to an end, one can only wonder what is next.

From my first playthrough of pokemon reborn I was thrilled and thoroughly challenged. For the first time ever in a pokemon game, I failed. Multiple times. The most noteworthy fail for me 7 or 8 times against Flobot. The second was against Ciel. I only managed to defeat her by using several revives/ cotton candies. With that not being an option in this playthrough I am quite rattled thinking about taking on that Togekiss and Mega Altaria. But at the same time I feel somewhat confident. While this playthrough has definitely been more challenging than my first, I have learnt a lot of different strategies and got to discover some of the real joys of pokemon. Looking at my box now, I have just over 30 pokemon who actually played a significant role on the team and rotating between them all has been a lot of fun. But without further ado, let's get to business.

Scarlet vs Ciel

The team going in was as follows:

Lead: KillSwitch level 74 Amethyst level 74 , Kraken level 74 , Bankai level 74, Zepplin level 74 and LillyD level 74

Round 1, fight !

KillSwitch vs Togekiss

• After 2 resets because of air slash always making KillSwitch flinch and on the 3rd try it KOd KillSwitch because all 6 air slashes made KillSwitch flinch I could tell this was gonna be a really annoying fight. So another soft reset and some items were equipped to the team. All bright powders. Now we try uberleet reset hax til we can land a hit.
• After an air slash and 2 aura spheres flinching KillSwitch she finally managed to get a discharge off and paralyzed the Togekiss taking it down to just under half HP
• Hyper potion and discharge
• Hyper potion and discharge
• Hyper potion and discharge
• Discharge and KO. That takes care of that at least, but KillSwitch is now on red HP

Bankai vs Archeops

• Archeops outspeeds and Rock Slides taking Bankai down to under half HP.
• Bankai returns the favor leaving it with a scrap of HP after a Surf
• Acrheops uses another rock slide and somehow does a a whole lot less damage leaving Bankai with red HP (damage is like falf of what it was the previous turn.
• Another Surf KOs Archeops

Kraken vs Noivern

• An Acrobatics takes 1/3 of Krakens HP
• An ice beam from Kraken OHKOs Noivern
• Moody sharply raises special attack but lowers special defense, I take a gamble and leave it in.

Kraken vs Gliscor

• Unfortunately EQ from Gliscor KOs kraken before it can deal a super powerful ice beam.

Amethyst vs Gliscor

• Ice fang leaves Gliscor with 1/3 HP
• Gliscor uses Defog/ LOL
• It's toxic orb heals it quite a bit
• Ice fang misses WTF> 95% acc y u do dis??
• Another defog LEL
• Another toxic orb heal
• but luckily the next ice fang hits and KOs Gliscor without Amethyst even taking a scratch.

Amethyst vs Talon Flame

• An Acrobatics takes just over 1/2 of Amethysts HP
• A waterfall in return OHKOs the fiery wannabe Jesus bird

Zepplin vs Altaria > Mega Altaria RAWRRR

• Please let a discharge cause paralysis.
• Dammit and EQ KOs it

Bankai vs Mega Altaria

• I am just here to heal up KillSwitch
• Notice me Senapi kun~

KillSwitch vs Mega Altaria

• A weak EQ takes 1/2 of KillSwitches HP
• Discharge does not paralyze. Well Shit.
• Another weak EQ leaves KillSwitch in the red.
• Discharge does not paralyze,
• Hyper voice KOs KillSwitch

LillyD vs Mega Altaria

• Will she be my saving grace?
• Almost. A Hyper voice which isn'tvery effective takes just over half of LillyD's HP
• A weak iron tail leaves Mega Altaria in the red. If only it could have been a nice or even an OK.
• Another hyper voice KOs LillyD

Amethyst vs Mega Altaria

• The only way I can win is if I outspeed it. I have EV trained for speed, so let's hope for the best.
• Nope f*ck this, it's faster. Hyper Voice KOs me.

Loss. But let's try that again. Bright powder didn't help one bit.

Round 2, Fight!

KillSwitch vs Togekiss:

• Air slashes misses! Discharge hits and paralyzes. yes! Ciel's thong has dropped to the floor. There's a pichu on the front and Tauros on the back.
• 2 hyper potions and discharge, 3rd discharge KOs. One Hyper potion to go.

Bankai vs Archeops

• An acrobatics leaves Bankai in the red
• Surf OHKOs this time around

Kraken vs Noivern

• Dragon pulse takes 1/2 of Krakens HP
• Ice beam OHKOs.
• Moody raises accuracy and lowers defense

Amethyst vs Gliscor

• Acrobatics takes just over 1/2 of Amethysts HP
• Hyper potion, Ice fang. All potions finished thank Arceus.
• Another ice fang KOS

Zepplin vs Talon Flame

• Acrobatics takes 1/3 HP
• Surf takes just over 1/2 HP
• Repeat of above and Surf KOs the Jesus bird impersonator

LillyD vs Mega Altaria

• I am not giving Hyper Voice the chance to build up this time and I am hoping that Iron Tail hits.
• Hyper voice hits and takes half HP.
• Iron tail misses. F*Ck!!!!!
• I withdraw LillyD

Bankai vs Mega Altaria

• Just here to heal
• EQ takes out Zepplin too in the healing process

LillyD vs Mega Ataria

• Hopefully this isn't a repeat
• Weak EQ thank Arceus. takes 1/4 HP
• Powerful iron tail hits. It's a OHKO!

Victory!!

With the Thoon out of the way LillYD assumed position

Spoils of war include the suspension badge, granting pokemon up to level 80 their complete obedience (dance for me my puppets), the ability to use HM fly and the TM acrobatics.

With that over, it concludes this run - for the time being. Thanks to everyone who has followed. But the journey is not yet at an end. More challenges await, and I plan to make the next even more challenging and interesting,...

[Dragon116]

In regards to the half Rock Slide damage, it's because of Archeops' Defeatist ability, which cuts both Attack and Sp.A in half when its HP is under half. The perfect definition of a glass cannon.

I'm surprised you didn't bring Dragon116 for this fight, since it likely would have killed Archeops with Stone Edge/Rock Slide (Rock isn't resistant against Rock).

Good to hear LillyD got the V.

[Genesis]

For your next playthrough of Reborn, you should do a Fire Monotype Run, with the OP Torchic as your starter. #PhoenixesOP

Nooooo #torchicmust fall

Haha just kidding, but yeah, I have something really special planned for my next playthrough, not quite a mono type, but more a speciality playthrough.. I am just waiting to see if the mods that be will grant me the pokemon I need in order to start it.

And yeah, I was thinking of bringing Dragon116 to the fight, but when I seen I already had 6 capable pokemon all trained I was too lazy to train him up as well. There were a few others I actually wanted to bring to the fight, Like Matilda the Magcargo and Granbull and sneasel and porygon 2, but I was very antsy to get this completed . Out of everyone that surprised me, he was the only one I will always remember

[Dragon116]

Macargo would be a bad choice because of all the EQ on her team. Sneasel demolishes everyone except Talonflame.

[Genesis]

Macargo would be a bad choice because of all the EQ on her team. Sneasel demolishes everyone except Talonflame.

I thought that might be the case. Damn magcargo's infernal x weakness to ground. I really wanted to use Sneasel. it's base stats are good, but without Weaville being available or Evolite, I feel less inclined to want to use it sadly
