Xenoxblades Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Hello all. It's been a while since I posted here. I wanted to ask you what pokemons I should train to EP17, what do you think it would fare best? I mean, there aren't many gym types left. What combos are you guys training for EP17? My team: Drapion, 85, Crunch;Knock Off;Cross Poison;Ice Fang Arcanine, 84-85, Outrage;Flare Blitz;Close Combat; ExtremeSpeed Espeon, 85, Psychic;Sinchronize;Dazzling Gleam;Morning Sun Swampert, 83, Earthquake; Surf; RockSmash (it was a mistake, i was high); Rock Slide Infernape, 85, Acrobatics;Close Combat; Mach Punch; Flare Blitz Noivern, 85, Dragon Pulse; Cut (I know, ridiculous);Fly;Hurricane Secondary Team (rarely used, hence low levels atm): Crobat, 85 Pilowswine, 60 Emolga, 67 Trubbish, 44 Kricketune, 44 Scrafty, 55 In Training: Dragalge, 52 Clefable, 57 Chandelure, 53 Altaria, 46 Metagross, 48 One or 2 more. Any opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowStar Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Your Team looks fine, but I'd recommend these Move Sets on em: Reveal hidden contents Drapion - Knock Off (Tutor) - Cross Poison - Aqua Tail (Tutor) - Crunch Arcanine - Flare Blitz - Close Combat - Thunder Fang (Move Re-Learn) [Outrage isn't very useful] - Extreme Speed Espeon - Helping Hand (Move Re-Learn) [Great in Doubles] - Psychic - Dazzling Gleam - Grass Knot Noivern - Hurricane - Dragon Pulse - Flamethrower - Air Slash Swampert - Waterfall - Earthquake - Ice Punch (Tutor) - Stealth Rock (Tutor) / Rock Slide (Re-Learn) / Superpower or Brick Break Infernape - Close Combat - Flare Blitz - Thunder Punch (Tutor) - Mach Punch OR - Close Combat - Flamethrower - Grass Knot - Gunk Shot / Mach Punch Remember that HMs (TMXs) can be deleted at any time in Reborn without the use of the Move Deleter, so you don't have to carry around those moves on your Pokemon. I also don't see why you have Arcanine and Infernape on the same Team and I'd recommend swapping one out for the sake of type diversity, but feel free to rock em both!

Seel The Deal Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) There are no gyms left where a Grass-type is disadvantaged defensively, 2 left where Grass hits super-effectively, and only 2 left that resist Grass, so training one could be good. Roserade is probably the best option, since Technician turns Hidden Power into a 90 BP Special coverage move (Fire and Ground are best), Venoshock + Toxic (Spikes) makes sweeping ez, it gets Giga Drain and Petal Dance through level-up as Roselia, Weather Ball and Grassy Terrain through relearner as Roserade, and it even has Leaf Storm as well as Extrasensory through breeding with the Nuzleaf line (Extrasensory at 36 as Nuzleaf, Leaf Storm at 44 as Shiftry) and Spikes through breeding with the Cacnea line (Level 30).

Expand I would say the upcoming Dragon and Rock gyms would be bad, as the field seems to be dragonic, boosting fire type and dragon type attacks, both which decimate grass types.

Expand Dragon will definitely be bad, but rock? Roserade (and a fair few other Grass-types) get Grassy Terrain to screw over the field and boost Grass moves, and even if you don't use that the Dragon's Den terrain (I think that's what it's called?) shouldn't be too bad unless it heavily nerfs Grass moves.

Expand True, but I think a couple abilities activate in that field (like Magma Armor I think). It could at least make Magcargo kind of threatening-ish. I see where you're coming from, though. I'm just wondering what Hardy's going to use, because I bet he at least has either an Armaldo, Cradily, or Aerodactyl (because I thought I remember him having a Gigalith somewhere).

Expand Yeah, Hardy revealed Gigalith trying to break the PULSE Avalugg's barrier in Ametrine, so we know that's one of his 'mons (could even be a lead since E17 will grant it Sand Stream). If it's on the Dragon's Den field I can totally see him using Tyrantrum, and Cradily is a nice defensive check for 3 of Rock's weaknesses (Grass, Water, Ground) so it seems likely too. This is all speculation for a gym that isn't coming any time soon tho XD Edited September 4, 2017 by Seel The Deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenoxblades Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 Thanks for everything. I have Arcanince and Infernape but I rotate, i need new trainers getting tired of leveling on Grand Hall. Will rotate then and beef up Chandelure, Altaria and Dragalge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
