Bigodes Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 So, that's it. I play with a lot of rotation pokémon, changing them according to what the situation demands (this is my first run).I struggled at the Pokemon Gargantuan, and now I'm struggling to defeat the pulse Abra. Yes, I can raise a female Combee until it evolves and get Destiny Bond with a heart scale, but it wouldn't be very honest. I'd like to defeat Abra (and the subsequent battles) with my own Pokémon.Here's a list of my current 'mons and, to those where it's relevant, how I'm using them. I'd like to know how can I mount a nice, pretty covered-up team with these Pokémons.If there's something really lacking here, I should say that I have most of the event Pokemons to this point, except, I think, for Zorua and Zangoose. I won't mind grinding one or two of them if it's for a good cause. Maybe I'm asking too much, but I'd like some help with hold items too.All my levels are between 46-48, maybe I do need to grind for a while? GardevoirSynchronizeDraining KissPsychicFuture SightMagical Leaf(starts with FS, DK for stab + healing, ML for general team type coverage) Donphan Sand VeilRolloutEarthquakeFire FangRock Smash (I needed it in a cave and haven't replaced it since)Vanilluxe Ice Body HailIce BeamMirror ShotMirror Coat (that Mirror Coat saved my skin countless times, mainly versus Sigmund and Serra) Gothitelle Competitive Heal BlockPsychicPsyshockDark Pulse(it has a good coverage egg move, but I don't know what to do with the rest of the moveset. It's a bit underleveled too. Used to use it for special sweeping before the Ralts event, now it may as well be supportive since Gardevoir is doing the dirty job) PangoroMold Breaker CrunchVital ThrowBody SlamShadow Claw (stab Crunch, Vital Throw, also good typing. Been working miracles against Team Meteor and in caves. Will get Parting Shot as soon as it reaches the level.) Aromatisse Aroma Veil WishAromatherapyMoonblastMist (healing supporter, my first attempt at a more defensive Pokemon. Mist negates field effects when necessary, Moonblast for coverage)NoibatInfiltrator Super FangCutAir CutterRoost(I like Noivern's high speed, but I haven't got the time to evolve it yet. It's mostly used for hunting in the wild, aka get-those-lowlevel-shinies, because of Super Fang. And for cutting, I know, that's stupid on me) KricketuneSwarm Flash Night SlashFury CutterX-Scissor(Earlier in the game, he was the boss. Beat Florinia in my first try because of it. It's in the underlevel zone now, but I think it still has potential to counter some psychic, grass (screw you, Fern) or dark types. Flash is going to be replaced, of course) Arcanine Justified OutrageHeat WaveClose CombatFlare BlitzAggronRock Head Rock SlideIron DefenseIron HeadStrength (this one was intentional. I think Strenght it's a better option than Double Edge, because of the no-recoil thing. This move is mostly used against ground and grass types) Camerupt Solid Rock Lava PlumeIron HeadEarth PowerRock Slide AmpharosPlus DischargeDragon PulsePower GemElectric Terrain (I was using it to neutralize the field effects and take some advantage of it (now Aromatisse's work). Dragon Pulse was more useful before Arcanine's Outrage, and Power Gem was also useful before other 3 pokémon got Rock Slide. It's kind of obsolete, after all. Last used against Aya, so it's also underleveled.) Empoleon Torrent BrineAqua JetMetal ClawPeck Murkrow Super Luck Wing AttackFoul PlayMean LookFeint Attack (To be evolved soon, I want to get it a better flying-type move and Night Slash, to take advantage of Honchkrow's big attack. STAB Foul Play also does me wonders against slower foes)Flygon Levitate SuperpowerEarthquakeRock SlideDragon ClawVenomoth Tinted Lens Sleep PowderSignal BeamPsybeamPoison FangCofagrigusMummy Will-O-WispHexShadow BallCurse (my flawless anti-Pulse Muk. Now it's a semi-suicidal anti-almost-everything. Kind of bulky, it works by inflicting a burn, then go full power with the 130BP Hex (does it get stab too?). HP getting low? Curse time. Shadow Ball is my go-to move to OHKO weaker foes without having to set up. Also, it has the potential to nullify abilities. Got that protean Muk down in a few seconds, eventually useful since then) Garbodor Weak Armor ToxicToxic SpikesSludge BombAmnesia(I guess I could call it a self-destructive lead. Very useful in double or 6-pokémon team battles. Amnesia allows it to take two or three special hits, enough to set up two layers of TS and a Toxic. Against physical foes, Weak Armor normally lets it to strike first on the next turn, guaranteeing at least two layers of TS, or one layer and one Toxic. Sludge Bomb has STAB, and, like Cofagrigus' Shadow Ball is good for sweeping without set-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon116 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 In general for PULSE Abra, you need to wait until it Hyper Beams, then use that one turn of down time to paralyze or put it to sleep, or set up Light Screen. I think Light Screen + Vanilluxe Mirror Coat should be enough to beat it. In my first run, I had Camerupt use Yawn, swapped him out for another foddermon, and then switched it back in and Lava Plume'd it to death.

Bigodes Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 Thank you for answering!Just made it with Mirror Coat Vanilluxe. I had a Focus Sash in my inventory (nice finding), it was piece of cake.Your answer made me realize something: I have no screeners among my Pokémon. I'll raise one or two from now on, maybe a Meowstic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
