EP 16 Buffs? Nerfs? -Please mark any spoilers!-

So playing with episode 16 from Beryl ward onward, and I've noticed that there's been some enemy buffs compared to episode 15. This is simply what I have observed so don't take this as 100% fact, though if any of the actual devs want to fill in on the changes feel free to do so.

 

-Seems like the levels for regular NPC trainers got slightly higher? 

-Opal rematches available much earlier on, this was stated on the site itself so no surprises here

 

Corey - 

Spoiler

Actually he about the same. I don't think he changed  much from ep 15. 

Shelly- 

Spoiler

Definite buff. Her AI is now smart enough to set up rain dance immediately preventing the player from setting her field ablaze right away at least. The rain seemed to last a while too so I think she's got a damp rock on her Illumise as well. Masquerain works this strat well too by utilizing bubblebeam in the rain and half her team has a grass attack of some sort.

Fern

Spoiler

He switched out his Roserade when it was in yellow.  Aside from this he seemed unchanged(unless he didn't always lead with ferroseed), though this is probably his hardest fight, at leastin past episodes.

-optional boss-

Spoiler

Savage Beartic didn't have rest before, did he? That really screwed me over and I had to melt the ice(several times) and poison the water to end up beating him, and he seemed tougher than I recalled.

 

Seems like some areas have rarer pokemon that are a good deal higher leveled than the usual? I found

Spoiler

a Beartic in Ametrine that was level 37 and dunsparce in opal underground that was level 34. Also a level 44 unown in the area where you meet Solaris. 

 

Also, while we're on the subject on buffs/nerfs, any you want to see next episode?

I think it was aways possible to find a far higher lvl pokemon, but the chances were realy slim..

Actually yeah you're right, I do remember finding a level 64 Staraptor in the mountains pre-charlotte.  Has the chances increased slightly or am I just luckier this playthrough?

 

Actually after fighting Shade

Spoiler

I feel like Shade needs some revamp to his team or something, as he seems far easier than he was pre-15.  I think Doublade should be replaced with something else, maybe Mismagius?Dazzling gleam would help with dark types.

I have a feeling that he'll be buffed alright.

 

Spoiler

He'll be buffed by the addition of Mimikyu into his team. (I imagine Shelly will end up with Araquanid or Golisopod too. Corey or Aya may end up getting Salandit/Salazzle, Corey being the more likely candidate as one of his fields boosts fire attacks.)
