Autumneverlast Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Hey all, been playing Reborn since E15 and recently came back to the game. A little bit seems to have changed (GEN 7!) so I figured I'd start a new run, my current one having stalled out shortly before Amaria. I'm excited to pick up some of the new Gen7 mons and try them out, but before I can do that, I need to pick a starter. I've narrowed it down to: Charmander (Gen 1 nostalgia, solid special attacker) Fennekin (solid special attacker, psychic typing is great) Popplio (I've heard this one is good? Fairies are awesome too...) Rowlett (Similar to Popplio only with ghosts instead of fairies) Froakie (solid 'mon with Protean, but water types early game are tough) Any opinions? Any Gen 7 pokemon I should watch out for? Any new early pokemon that you guys really like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfox Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I say Fennekin. Underrated as all heck, good typing with a good set of stats and move, and to top it off easy item stealing from wild mons with Magician Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seal Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I'd say pick up Popplio. Good typing, good move-pool and good stats. Make sure it has Liquid Voice for that nice stab on Echoed Voice and Hyper Voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilyX Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Popplio and Fennekin are the best options (choosing from your narrowed-down list). But I disagree with Seal: Don´t give it liquid voice. hyper voice is not stronger than surf and torrent is quite useful in some situations.

Candy Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Actually it depends- as a primarina I think it's useful to have liquid voice + hyper voice because in doubles you may not want to hit your ally with surf or sparkling aria. I change between her abilities since other times you can hit your ally for example if they have dry skin or are holding an absorb bulb, or of course when it's a singles fight.

Autumneverlast Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 Alrighty, so I'm hearing that Fennekin and Popplio should be my go-to 'mons for starters, going to lean towards Popplio because it's new and water type fitting in with my other choices. Currently looking at a lategame team with Silvally, Metagross, Aegislash, and two others that I'm still figuring out (Dragonite would be a big contender if it were available a little earlier). Any advice on gen 7 mons to try out along the way? Thoughts on the team comp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veterans Azeria Posted October 7, 2018 Veterans Share Posted October 7, 2018 If you like Ninetales/Sun setters, I highly suggest Charizard. Dude's heat waves do ridiculous amounts of damage, cleanly carried my team for numerous boss fights before and after evolving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamu Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I'm one upping Azery here and suggesting instead Eruption Typhlosion + Drought. My Typhlosion has one shot everything so far with the sun up. There are only a few times I remember needing to use two Eruptions for anything and those are usually just huge Sp. Def tanks. Not even resistances can help you vs Sun + Eruption some times. One down side is that it will take you a while to get Eruption since it's a move tutor move. :c Actually now that I think of it you can just get a Cyndaquil from 7th street so nvm, don't need to start with it.

Yeah Typh and Charizard literally do the same thing, imo the choice is based on whether you prefer the raw nuclear power from Eruption or having some coverage in case stuff can live those strong fire moves.

Hope to goodness I get Vulpix out of the Mystery egg? Though that all being said, I would also have to rework the rest of the team...

Kamu Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Yep. @Azery then later on is kind of scary as well when things start to outspeed your maxed out Typhlosion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamu Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I got a Vulpix from the mystery egg so I was set lol @Autumneverlast Agate Circus has a person who will trade you a Vulpix for a Stunfisk if I remember correctly. If you want I could always trade you one after you've beaten Flobot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want I could always trade you one after you've beaten Flobot. I keep forgetting that trading is a thing. I might be able to run with a weather team, but that would require me to take a step back and think about team comp for a bit. Current team ideas are just a loose collection of pokemon with complementary typings. Might be good to run a cohesive strat instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
