CaptainNikolai Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I made it through the Onyx Trainer's School, and I reached a point where Fern blocks my path to face Florinina. I don't have a full party, as everything I've encountered is duplicating my Typing situation pretty badly (mainly with Poison), and I doubled up anyway just for Type advantage, which isn't really working. How can I get past Fern and his insanely strong Dartrix? It's a struggle just to make it to the Dartrix, my party is horribly crippled by the time I get to it. Any valuable Pokemon I'm missing out on catching? My team so far is: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can either Icy Wind and outspeed next turn, or OHKO Dartrix with Avalanche. Also, you really need a Fire type on your team to deal with Florina; preferably Numel.

I did A LOT of grinding with the Kricketot I got from an in-game trade. Grinded it to 16 to have it learn Bug Bite, then evolved it, grinded to 24. Also, while grinding, I came across a Litleo in a Hide-And-Seek event, so I got the Fire type I also needed (Dartrix 2HKO'd Kricketune, so I was able to have Litleo clean up). Battle was still somewhat difficult because my Kricketune has a negative Speed nature. But Fern was a lot harder than Florinia herself.

kithas Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I think Florinia's strategy (or maybe the AI) can hinder her effectiveness given you get the right team, I also encountered more resistance in Fern, in my ground monorun, because sandstorm didn't get me. While they're both grass-type at the time, fern don't have that specialization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
