Big_Johnson Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) Hello there =) I recently started playing Reborn, and I really enjoy it. So far it was quite challenging but lately I get my as..butt kicked quite harshly. It started with Kiki and that monster of a Machamp and now Aya starts cleaning her ladies room with me. I played Pokemon competitively with the release of Black/White, after X/Y I took a break from it. Yet it seems like I am not even able to build a team to defeat Aya. I'll attach my pool and team for you. CAn you guys help me build a solid team overall (without spoilers for the next leaders etc if possible ) Thanks in advance.(Tried to sort them by level, Pokemon in the favorite box are some of the Pokemon I like from the looks) Edited November 11, 2015 by Big_Johnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytch_doctr Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Nicknames aside, your team looks quite solid. Scrap noibat right now. It's stats are absolutely ATROCIOUS. Also, 2 Dark types are kinda redundant. I'd suggest replacing Pangoro or Shiftry with Espurr, who is great in this gym battle, as psychic types destroy Aya. Meowstic-F is a decent attacker, and Meowstic-M is a good support with dual screens. Additionally, Camerupt is great in this gym as Earth Power isn't resisted by the field, unlike many other Ground moves. If you choose Camerupt though, beware of Dragalgae's Hydro Pump.

Fumble Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 TBH, a lot of people like to have a rotation team, so they use multiple Pokemon and switch them around if they think a certain Pokemon would be better than a different one for a battle. Training up that Meditite might be pretty good for Aya, and it can also have an elemental punch, which may or may not be useful for future battles. I recommend replacing Pangoro for it, since Pangoro can't really do too much until it gets its stronger Fighting type moves and some better TMs. Noibat can't do anything until it evolves into Noivern, so maybe try using Donphan or Camerupt? Earthquake won't be too great, but Donphan can at least Knock Off some Black Sludges if you're willing to get it and Camerupt's Earth Power isn't affected by the Field. Meowstic is flat out amazing, so you may want to replace something or switch it in temporarily. Female is more offensive, Male is more supportive if you have Prankster + Reflect + Light Screen. For a solid team, idk, but based on your Pokemon in the box, I'd personally do a rotation team between: Gothitelle/Meowstic, Typhlosion, Noivern, Medicham, Donphan/Camerupt/Diggersby (Ground type of your choice), Cofagrigus (for a wall), Bisharp, (idk about this one because of other Electric types) Manectric, Roserade (wall + specially offensive), and maybe Toxicroak.

Big_Johnson Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 wow, thanks for the really fast answers!Since both of you suggested Meowtastic, i'd take it, yet I only got males....Might not be too bad though right? Is it worth to kick out the Gothitelle for it?Noibat is really really bad..I just trained it for the Noivern...at least just a few LV's to go...I also considered to swap out Pangoro since it didn't do much ever since it evolved (besides getting OHKO'd). Diggersby is freshly evolved, would need some grinding, but Huge Power is just awesome...Might consider him later on, Camerupt shall be it for now then Not sure about Roserade...would take quite a grinding +having luck to obtain a stone for it...any other options? I'll need another grass-type, since Shiftry is equaly fu...grounded as Pangoro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega_Ra1der Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 You can sr the rocks until you find the stone. It is easier that way rather waiting for a blessing from the rng gods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just poke around there, I forgot if it was a visible item or hidden in a rock/bush or something. But Roserade is worth. Giga Drain + Toxic Spikes (better later on, not this gym) + Base 90 Hidden Power with Technician and another move for power or coverage would work.

Or you can put in a roserade suggested by most people. Well first off get rid of noibat,pangoro and shiftry. Also you can always have a back up team, so you can swap around to what pokemon suits the certain gym or boss. well unless you are doing a mono run or something most people have backup teams. You can train up a quagsire/camerupt/diggersby/swinub to wreck aya. just change the field using mist and you should do ok since in mist you can just use EQ without it getting weaken by the field. swinub/quagsire/pelliper learn mist. Mist is an awesome move in reborn cause it gets rid of annoying field effects. It is always good to have a pokemon which can change the field to your advantage. Oh and you can grind at the grand hall since the trainer there can be re-battled again and again.Need good places to EV train here are some good places to EV train for each stat: Speed 1) whack woobats in the underground railnet (good for weak mons) 2)Aqua gang hide out A.k.a lapis ally way gives 100% speed EV all mons there give speed Ev day and night Attack Just head over to the obsidia slums and whack mankey,pancham and pidove (74% atk 20% Speed And 6% Hp best place to train physical sweepers) Sp.Atk 1)Well usually i put on a power lens and just whack the other Ev i wanna train say hp/speed/anything but it might take some time 2) the garden complex in the morning and whack some cherubi (28%) 3) Pyrous moutain numel and slugma 4) complete the spider web puzzle for North Avanturine woods and head over to Celestine Mountain BF2 and fish away with good rod clauncher+remoraid(80% sp atk EV) Def !)

Big_Johnson Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Stuff you wrote Sweet Baby Jesus, the included EV list is like the best thing you could've done Thanks alot for that! (Is there an option to reset the EV?) So far the Biggersby, Camerupt and Meowstic are trained, and Aya wasn't a problem with two psy-types. Just got confused in the Wastelandcaves...Lv. 65 Mr. Biggles, a rock you can push away, yet its of no use...Well this game is frikkin awesome! Secrets everywhere... I really like the Quagsire-Build, i guess it's about time to roll some breeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 hehe np and if you want to reset EV just use the reset ev berries you can buy them from the obsidia department store lvl 8.you need 7 stickers i think,so you cant get it yet as of now. Anyways --->here<--- is the guide for department store stickers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Even though the others beat me to the punch, I'll reinforce that Espurr can and will be your MVP (Most Valuable Pokemon) for many of the upcoming fights. I would recommend getting a female, as support Pokemon never really do it for me. I also found Scrafty to be useful, though another Dark type isn't probably your best be. My Scraft was/is a high risk, high reward type Pokemon, so if your're feeling lucky, it might be a good addition. (Assuming you ditch Magoman.)
