Johnny_Nevori Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 So I have a team of 6 before the 1st Gym with only 2 types missing (Dark & Fire) from the available types to choose from. I might swap out Eko because he is wicked hard to train, BUT, Idk what I'd replace him with. Spoiler Is this fine? should I swap anyone & why? Any other suggestions that can be of use? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcv Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 There’s a Kricketot you can grab in one of the buildings just before the part under the bridge. Make sure it has its Hidden Ability and it can easily carry you to about the third gym. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_Nevori Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 Wow really? I kept shrug off that Kricketot. I gonna have to check it out. Who would I replace though? probably either Joltik or Noibat right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now once it’s evolved it’s a different story, but it grows too slowly and evolves too late. I’ve never used Joltik so can’t speak to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_Nevori Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 Yeah I figured as much. Thanks for the advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbastian1 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Keep Joltik for the love of GOD Galvantula is amazing in this game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_Nevori Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 well I mean it is one of my fave bugs but i only suggested it as Kricketot is already bug and I was hoping for that versatility/variety but it makes more since to box Noibat ATM.

You'll be boxing Kricketune by the time you fight Corey so don't worry about it. And coincidentally that's the point at which Galvantula would listen to you anyway (if you bump it down a level after evolving it anyway.) And it would probably be great for Shelly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_Nevori Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 Yeah I kinda thought about the longer run that's why I tried to diversify my team but that doesn't always help in the beginning. that's at least what my basis was for with my Froakie as it can morph into 4 types. I usually stick with 9 Pokemon that have all 18 types for coverage and swap between them as needed but sometimes that can't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbastian1 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 See, Kricketot is good for the early game, but the versatility of Galvantula is amazing. Compound eyes means Thunder rarely ever misses. Its fast. Can lay out sticky webs to slow the entire enemy team, can paralyze if you want to run a thunderwave. Gets access to bug buzz which is a great move for dealing with multiple enemies, plus the electric typing will really help out with dealing with Flying and Water mons, both of which can be a hassle in this game. Plus you actually encounter alot of psychic types so having a speedy heavy hitting bug type is great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_Nevori Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 Yeah kept it and now that the gym is done it has some good moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, one thing I will add in regards to your team. It has a lot of sweepers but nothing to Tank much. If I were you, I would consider getting something a little bulkier to have as a wall that could potentially allow you to reheal your sweepers, set traps, maybe a terrain manipulator, etc. I know for me I utilize Hippowdon. Hes great for setting up stealth rocks plus he instantly changes the weather which can be useful depending on the battle you're in- looking at you Titania. Hes great because he lasts long, has immunity, and allows me to heal up those that have been weakened or KOd plus he can heal himself too. I am not saying you need to use Hippowdon, but having something that can play that sort of role on the team is quite helpful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_Nevori Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 I picked up a Onix which I plan on evolving eventually and I have been going through play trying to pick up atleast 1-2 of each type that's available as i move into a new area and trying to keep them fairly decent or good mons, like I havent picked up any bidoofs lmao...yeah i ain't bout that life.
