Vhandrake Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Well, i didn't want to do this, but since apparentely i have no chances with my current abilities/strategies or whatever, you see, i'm doing a Pokémon-specific item run, (using Pokémon that only have items that are specific to them, and of course, using said item) so the team now is this: Pikachu, Chansey, Clamperl, Marowak, Ditto and Farfecth'd ... The thing is, i made it kinda-ok till Serra's gym.. Now i'm stuck here and i don't know what to do... (If only Marowak was fast enough) So... Do you have any ideas? Something to share? I would appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would appreciate it. You actually made it to Serra's Gym with that team you told me a week ago? I greet and salute you! Gimme some time and I'll think of some ideas to tackle Serra EDIT: @Vhandrake First of all, you have Lax Incense, which boosts Evasion on switch in. Maybe give it to Ditto. Then Make Ditto transform into something fast with Nature Power (which becomes Mirror Shot), or Flash Cannon. So, Vanilluxe or Cryogonal respectively! Then, wish a bit for luck in the speed ties and abuse the steel moves. One first idea I had. Also, Covet Quick Claws from wild meowths and Give one to Marowak. Maybe this will give it a chance to go first and take out something! Would be great if someone could hack Iron Tail on your Pikachu too...

Jess Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) Also, maybe breed Confuse Ray from a Mantine on your Clamperl. This might cause enemies to hit themselves, hence lower their evasiveness, hence increase your critical hit chance (stupid field, I know). You can teach Fling to Marowak too, and have it throw an Iron Ball (or its Thick Club) to Froslass. If you're lucky to survive of course Or breed Iron Head from an Aron on Marowak! And give it an Ice weakening suppereffective move berry. (dunno if they are accessible yet though ) Edited July 9, 2017 by Jess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, i kept trying a couple times and well... Apparentely Arceus smiled upon me, Jynx, my main problem (Just because i couldn't even get to Froslass) got destroyed by Ditto Cryogonal, then Pikachu with Brick Break took down Aurorus, Marowak, the god of luck, took down Vanixulle cause it missed it's Frost Breath, Glaceon missed too so it took down the Glaceon aswell... Then Chansey intoxicated Froslass and did some damage... Marowak came in and guess what? Froslass missed and Marowak was able to take her down and i got my freaking badge... I think i never had such an intense gym battle... Now i'm about to face Radomus, but i'll do it sometime on the next week, can't keep wasting time... So yeah, thank you both for offering your help, i appreciate it enormously, i guess all i needed was luck... Tons of it... xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that note, i have to tell you that one of the rules i made up for this run is that all my Pokémon can only use the item that is specific to them (Marowak can use Thick Club and nothing else, for example, same as Ditto with it's powders) And Sandboxed some moves, just to make it possible, (Chansey with toxic, stealth rock and Pikachu with Hidden Power) Otherwise i wouldn't be able to get this far xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 @Vhandrake Yayyyyyyy, good job! Glad idea of Ditto Cryogonal worked! That Flash Cannon probably was a godsend! Also, which move did the god of luck take out Froslass? Was it Bonemerang? Or you actually flung your thick club? xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you actually flung your thick club? xD Bonemerang, that thing with Thick Club destroyed pretty much everything (And most of the times with just 1 hit) i just needed that god-like luck that made Froslass fail it's 90% accuracy attack (And if we count the other 2 failing it's 3 times almost in a row that a 90% accuracy attack missed). xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, this makes your progress an even more impressive feat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, this makes your progress an even more impressive feat! That is correct, the only one that was able to evolve was Cubone, and thank you! Now i'm about to challenge Radomus, i don't even know how i'm going to face this xD i guess Pikachu will have an important role and Marowak will benefit from the Solosis' Trick Room (I guess) So i'll see how i can pull that one off xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 At least you will be able to destroy Metagross with Bonemerang! Plus, you can always Fling that Thick Club for some nice Dark Type damage, and get another at 7th street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
