This is impossible

[Cheshire Demon]

I know that this is going to get the responses that negative criticism always get, but I genuinely feel that this needs to be said. The battle with Marianette is impossible. I have tried for hours to try and beat her, but nothing in my team or pc has the fire power to stop her. Everything gets one shot so by the time I've gotten through her first pokemon half my team is already dead. I have everyone up to the max that the level cap allows but it doesn't matter because there hasn't been a decent fighting type that can match up at level 30 and the bs blessed battlefield removes ghost types ability to do anything. I get that this is meant for the hardcore players that want to micro manage their mons every little IV and EV but for those who are looking for an enjoyable experience, I can't recommend this game. I wish I could continue playing and judge it based on it's full merit but it simply refuse to dedicate that level of time to something I was doing to try and relax.

You should probably just change it to casual if its giving you this much trouble. Also you should probably just search up a youtube guide or something.

Mmmm, I feel the salt.

Switch to casual, you filthy casual. Or Ev train your mons, Rejuvenation is genuinely the most fun fangame to me, since it's hard, yet fair. It gives you tools early on to make your mons stronger. In my opinion, the best play is to cut your losses and buy some training cards from the casino, speed and attack or special attack, they only cost 30 AP in total.

 

Edit :Ok, kinda forgot you can't do that rn but there are certain mons you can farm for the same Evs. like alolan meowth for speed.

a boltund +scoutland with intimidate might help

I'm not sure since I never played hardcore but when a gym leader was impossible the thing that worked best was to mimic at some extent their own strategy like souta is surprisingly easy when using tailwind. I remember trying Solrock for Marianette? But, again, I didn't play hardcore, so...

Its been a while since I played this but , pretty sure you can get a makuhita by now and evolve it , also a swoobat and natu which are pretty good for this fight .

Idk how much her team has changed but in v12 calm mind swoobat beats her entire team on intense mode.

Have you tired switching up your team and adding new mons? This is often required, using the same six mons all the time is not advisable. This fight is also totally doable without EV/IV training of any kind, I also did it without items and on Set Mode, so it is very possible. Try switching up your team and going out and catching new mons, you can actually leave the area if I am not mistaken. 

 

I would recommend doing at the very least EV training (in stats that make sense), since it helps a lot. It is also available from the start of the game now in the Grand Hall, if I am not mistaken, so you can do it pretty quickly and easily (literally a few minutes per mon). Just make sure you know what you are doing and train stats that actually make sense.

 

Natures and IVs also help quite a bit, but that requires a large time investment and a ditto (or cheating). 

 

Debug mode is a method of cheating that is available to save you a lot of time, since it lets you do things like change your IV/EV/Nature. If you decide to use it, I would WAIT on changing IV/Nature until after the 8th gym, since that is when all the tools you need for breeding become available (specifically ditto + destiny knot), but whether you wait or not is ultimately up to you. I have used it in the past in both my runs of the game and it saves me hours of time breeding new mons, since I can just skip that with it.

 

Of course, if you consider that too dirty, then you would have to do breeding legit, but you can still do EV training easily, and can soft reset (save the game before getting the mon, then reload, this wont work for eggs) or just catch more of that mon when applicable, until you get a mon with decent IV/Nature. This way you can at least have some of the IVs on your mon.

Simple Swoobat sweeps this fight in intense mode (not sure about normal since the teams are different). You just set up calm minds on the lopunny, as it is a special attacking lopunny (not very threatening). The best way is to breed roost and stored power on to it, but you can also sweep with just air cutter + a decent Hidden power after a couple calm minds.
