KindleofDreams Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) Hello everyone! My current team is: Torterra (80) - Shell armor -Crunch -WoodHammer -Curse -Earthquake Swampert (L80)- Damp (it's going to be a more physical Swampert due to IV's) -Rockslide -Protect -Waterfall -Earthquake Ninetales (L80) - Drought -Heatwave -Solarbeam -Confuseray -Extrasensory Tyrantrum (L80) - Strong jaw -Crunch -Rock Slide -Dragon Claw -Earthquake Eelektrick (L80) - Levitate -FlameThrower -Discharge -Acid Spray -Crunch Gothitelle (L80) - Competitive -Dark Pulse -Psychic -Psyshock -Future sight Lucario (L80) - Steadfast -Extreme Speed -Iron Tail -Close Combat -Sword Dance Scrafty (L80) - Intimidate -Crunch -Dragon Dance -HJK/ Drainpunch is optional. -Head Smash Noivern (L80) - Infiltrator -Hurricane -Dragon Pulse -Roost -Boomburst Volcorona (L80) - Flame Body -Quiver Dance -Heat Wave -Bug Buzz -Hidden Power Water Bisharp (L80) - Inner Focus -Night Slash -False Swipe (I cant re-learn Suckerpunch fml) -Iron Head -SwordDance Archeops (L80) - Defeatist (Jolly + Max EV's / IV's) -Acrobatics -Rock Slide -Crunch -U-turn Blaziken (L80) - Speed Boost (Jolly) -Sky uppercut -Flare Blitz -Brave Bird -Bulk up Metagross (L80) - Clear Body -Meteor Mash -Bullet Punch -Zen Headbut -Pursuit -Kindle ( aka Magenta) Questions Well so I beat Adrienn (sadly quite easily because of Metagross). I'm at a point where I want to create a better team now that I have the time to do some breeding / EV training. I'd like to instantly point out that I'm dropping Gothitelle. I havent used her in quite a while. I only actually use her for when I grind her up. Then she collects dust again. Her movepool is just too lackluster. So my first question is -> How do you rate my overall pokemon set up? As for teambuilding process... I think I'm going to level up a Magnezone (Because he seems to be everyone's favourite pick?). I also want to level up another water type aside from Swampert. I was thinking of possibly using a Kingdra OR Jellicent. My problem with Jellicent is that I cant get Scald on him. Kingdra is just alot of work. I have a 5 IV horsea however he needs to get some help in the speed department seeing that he has 0 IV's. I'd also like to get a fairy type incorporated. I'm thinking of getting a Togekiss because I always have liked Togekiss, I'm just not sure if he's really viable at this point in the game and if so, what kind of Togekiss that would be. Some feedback on that would be appreciated. Edited September 26, 2017 by KindleofDreams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhythmMelody Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 - Litleo would be good against Shade, since his second type is normal. But Vulpix praises the sun as no other Pokemon does and it is cute. Personally I would go with Vulpix, Litleo was never that helpful for me. - I recommend getting Stoutland and Diggersby. Stoutland has great stats, is normal so ghost attacks dont bother him and he learns crunch. Diggersby has normal-typing and his second typing is ground. It resists Shades ghost and electro attacks. And Diggersby deals quite the physic damage, thanks to huge power. - For fighting I would recommend Medicham, as for Steel I would go for Klinklang or Metagross, though you only get Beldum after Luna. (Gym after Radomus Chess Gym)- - Dunno, depends on your preferences and needs. - Afaik you dont get Ghastly or Gengar. You can only evolve Magneton to Magnezone after completing the story of E16 I think. Well, hope I could help out a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedAlert Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 If you Sun Stone Helioptile, you can get a Heliolisk which is actually pretty good As Rhythm says above, Diggersby and Medicham are absolutely great, particularly if you get Huge Power and Pure Power on them, their attack stat is monstrous. In addition, try to reset until you get Bullet Punch on the Medicham, priority moves can make quite a lot of difference I'd say don't give away the Tyrunt, Tyrantrum is a great Pokémon and will be very good in later battles. I'll suggest my favorite steel-type in the game, Escavalier! Insane Attack stat, even higher than Blaziken after a Bulk Up and just slightly below a Swords Dance Blaziken. If you can run him under trick room, I think he'll carry the whole game for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellBoyOnEarth Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Quote Filler 2: Tynamo. Currently leveling this because it can be a great Mon (I think). Though it needs work till 39. However, I think this can be a great use at Shade (especially if I can get it to learn Crunch) It learns Crunch right after the evolution on 39 For Shade catch a Electro Mon, which can change the field to normal(With Discharge, etc.), then his attacks aren't making so much damage and you can easily take his mons out, but maybe train a fire Mon for his Trevenant...

KindleofDreams Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 @HellBoyOnEarth I could heartscale the Tynamo evo for Discharge (I think) As for Medicham/Excavalier/ Diggersby where can I find those? Also..I could get the lillipup to Stoutland (I'd rather do that instead of diggersby tbh seeing I already have 2 ground typed pokemon atm) Btw. Sucks that they changed the evolution of Magnezone to so late into the story. Used to be around shade afaik. I remember shelmet etc being available after Gym...6? pre 7. Thanks for the input!

Meditite is available before Kiki, you have to talk to everyone reading meditation books and then a girl on the second floor railing will give you one. I forget where Shelmet is, but there's a guy in Spinel Town (the ice gym town) who will trade a karrablast for it so the karrablast evolves. Bunnelby can be found at the Beryl graveyard iirc, but you can always check the pokemon location guide in the on the hunt forum. I think you can get magnezone before the story parts of episode 16, so it'll be helpful against the fairy leader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhythmMelody Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I got my Bunnelby in the Caves before the 3rd Tangrowth I think. Anyway, as Orasha said, you can get Bunnelby definitly before Corey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yagami Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 There is a scraggy event before shade's gym.If you can do it,you will get a scraggy with a egg move.Try to soft reset to get one with dragon dance.A moxie scraggy with dd and crunch will sweep shade and many gyms. You can relearn moves in a house in onyx ward but you need the house key which is in underground railnet.You need to do this before Shade's gym otherwise it will be blocked until you get strength. If you use scrafty,you need a good a steel or poison type because scrafty is 4x weak to fairy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KindleofDreams Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 Currently working on that Scrafty Event. AFAIK you cant get the Move Tutor key because its another part of the railnet? Atleast..I have the "gang" at the gate waiting for me to go beat Shade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndearingCharacterTrait Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Yes, you won't be able to get the key until after you have Strength, so no relearning for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KindleofDreams Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) Well. Charge Beam worked instead of Discharge. Shade was surprisingly doable. I thought it would be alot worse. Only had some issue with Chandelure + Rotom. Now looking to expand the diversity of my team. I think I won't be getting much more use from my Unfezant at this point. I'll be keeping you guys posted if I have more questions. Thanks! Edit: Just got a Riolu from Wondertrade ( I assume player was trying to make a special Lucario seeing it has Vacuumwave) Its 30-31 IV's in all stats except for Sp.atk. So I have a Fighting/Steel type pokemon. Now I'm just going to figure out how to swap around. Edited July 22, 2017 by KindleofDreams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KindleofDreams Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) Quick Question: How does one grind effectively without "overleveling" a higher level mon. Also..I know the Unowns are pretty good exp but not such a good choice when leveling i.e. physical attackers. What other options are there? PS. Updated thread. ----------------------- Decided to put these down here. Questions: -I have this Lucario who (in the end) is going to have a set like.. Strength ExtremeSpeed Closecombat SwordDance Was thinking of eventually removing Strength for another STAB but..he doesn't really learn many good steel moves. What do you suggest? -I have a few alternatives to my mainsquad, mostly Water or Grass types. Can you give me an idea of what my squad is lacking atm (type wise). Lets say..roughly up to Noel? A few of the pokemon I have are (with 5 x 31 IV in the rightplaces) : -Rain Dish Squirtle -Contrary Snivy -Swift Swim Tirtouga -Flame Body Larvesta -Tough Claws Binacle -Thick fat Seel -Poison Point Nidoran -Rivalry Shinx -Intimidate Scrafty (this one doesnt have awesome IV's but it does carry Dragon Dance) -Levitate Misdreavus (The one from Dead Kiki..has near max sp.atk/speed. Lacking in other dept) What do you recon? I kinda want to level Scrafty as well for Noel / The ice Gym. Are there other options I missed OR options I could/should get?

I'd always advise to use the npc in the grand hall for grinding. You get quite the money from them, so there is no problem with overleveling your Pokemon, since you can easily buy tons of common candy to reduce their level.

Kinda? It covers more than enough. I think one wins around 300-400$ from the earliest NPC in the Grand Hall, roughly 5k$ from the mid tier NPC and up to 20k$ from the late game NPC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
