jbastian1 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) I finished Episode 18 and I was curious what you all thought of my team! Moving forward with speculation for Episode 19, let me know what you think of my team as well as any recommendations or tips you may have. Thanks! Aerodactyl: Lvl 93, Jolly Ability: Pressure Holding: Aerodactylite Rock Slide Fly Iron Head Thunder Fang Kingdra: Lvl 91, Bashful Ability: Swift Swim/Sniper (Depends on what's needed) Holding: Leftovers Dragon Dance Outrage Waterfall/Dive (just depends on the situation and terrain) Surf Magnezone: Lvl 90, Bold Ability: Sturdy Holding: Metal Coat Flash Cannon Metal Sound Magnet Rise Discharge Hippowdon: Lvl 90, Hardy Ability: Sand Stream Holding: Smooth Rock Stealth Rock Earthquake Fissure (Plan on removing, just don't know what I want as of yet) Crunch Salazzle: Lvl 87, Modest- NOTE: This one is kind of a floater on my team. She is awesome in a lot of ways, but definitely doesn't feel like she holds her own as much as the rest of the team. Ability: Corrosion Holding: Black Sludge Sludge Wave Flame Thrower Nasty Plot Dragon Pulse Weavile: Lvl 85, Adamant Ability: Pressure Holding: Expert Belt Ice Punch Night Slash Brick Break Knock Off As I said, any tips/recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I have a good grasp of the game mechanics and competitive play as well. I have other Pokemon in rotation: Vivillon, Galvantula, Escavalier, Heracross, Hawlucha, Rapidash, Roserade, Rhyperior, Trevenant, Tentacruel, Solrock, Altaria, Exeggutor, Garchomp, Haxorus, Alakazam, Metagross, and Aromatisse to name a few. I have an entire box full dedicated to my rotation, I just did not think it necessary to add all of the descriptions for them as I have my main team. Thanks again!

Lunala506 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I think that Goodra or Zoroark would be good for a team like yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbastian1 Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 I actually just went ahead and got myself the Zorua. Need to level him up though into the rotation! I dont't have Goodra yet, but I did get the GUM key, just need to do that dang puzzle. In addition, I plan to add Dragonite to my rotation as well.

jbastian1 Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 I feel like the final gym will be a cakewalk moving forward tbh. I'm sure there will be those exploits that the gym leaders have, but between my Weavile and Dragon Dance Kingdra, idk if ill have too much trouble with a Dragon team. This is probably my famous last words here and Ame is going to wreck me with whatever the gym leaders name is, but like if I need it, I have enough in rotation to put together a Dragonslaying team I would say!

Lunala506 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Any Fairy types? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunala506 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Or Ice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunala506 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Nevermind Weavile is ice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I'd probably swap the Salazzle and Weavile's natures to Timid and Jolly respectively unless you've bred them for near flawless IVs and EV trained them. They're both frail, glass cannons, and with how battling in Reborn is, they need to outside everything or else they could be one shot. Also, Saphira is the final gym leader, unless something changes :^ You've met her already, we just don't know how things will play out with the story.

So Vinnie, I am fully aware of the usefulness of their speed, especially being a sweeper. Honestly though, for Reborn, I find that having the higher Attack and Special Attack for Salazzle and Weavile respectively is better. They aren't outsped by much in general, the only ways they tend to be outsped is when I am facing something with a Choice Scarf on, but the slight boost to speed from being Jolly or Timid while it can be clutch in some cases, doesn't actually stand up to the scarf. That being said, I opted for the heavier attacks. In regards to the final Gym, I couldnt remember whether it was Heather or Saphira. Also storymode wise we could get multiple similar to how we had to fight multiple poison leaders. Now Lunala506, I don't currently run with any Fairy pokemon on my main team, although I keep some in my rotation. I have a lvl 90 Aromatisse, lvl 86 Shiinotic, and a lvl 89 Wigglytuff for example. I am also working on evolving my Raltz to Gardevoire, plus I could Mega Evolve my lvl 90 Altaria. I also plan to evolve up my Togepi as well as my Popplio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunala506 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Altaria can learn Moonblast, I think...oh well! Good luck, dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you Mega evolve Altaria it becomes a Dragon/Fairy Type with Pixilate so like I'm not worried there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
