rykerr1 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I'm really interested in doing a second playthrough with a steel monotype team. Does anyone have suggestions for Pokemon? I'm thinking I'll choose Piplup as my starter and probably use a Magnemite and Karrablast. Not sure what else would be best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaunt Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Ehm i would like to try that myself but it's impossible to do since the only "Metal" Pokemon you get before Julia (an Electric Gym Leader) is Piplup (Water type) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rykerr1 Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 Oh geez you're right. I'd probably have to cheat a little bit and use another pokemon, then ditch it after her gym.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon-in-night Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) You can get a onix from a hiker in early game, not sure if you need to beat Julia or not. You also can meet Pineco when you headbutt tree. Edited June 20, 2014 by dragon-in-night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaunt Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 You can get a onix from a hiker. Only after Julia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebornRanger Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 last i checked you could get onix after beating team meteor with fern. so it should still be like that unless ame changed it in ep 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked in ep 11 and the hiker gave me one only after JUlia so idk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Bidoof the only pokemon before Julia that gets headbutt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaunt Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Oh right I forgot about burmy too. Is Bidoof the only pokemon before Julia that gets headbutt? There is also Litleo (you get it by giving Bibarel to a dude in Peridot) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rykerr1 Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 i am 95% sure i got it in ep 11 Do you know where the hiker was? Because I never found an Onix when I played episode 11, though I'm sure I missed a lot. There is also Litleo (you get it by giving Bibarel to a dude in Peridot) Right, he gets headbutt. So that'll save me a few levels of griding with bidoof. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebornRanger Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 the hiker was on the path you had to take after the train blew up and you had to go to the grand hall. hes closer to the station though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaromir Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) The hiker is standing near the Peridot Station, and the house you show him is the same one with the Whismur. I'm in the middle of the Steel monotype right now. Just got that fourth badge. If I remember correctly, the hiker event starts after you defeat Julia. I'm not 100% sure though.

The hiker was around before Julia, but the event wouldn't start until after I beat her. Anyway, I have 2 badges now. Really wishing I'd rememberd that Klink is around BEFORE Florinia, because it would've made her Cradily less of a nuisance. Thankfully, her Cradily doesn't know any grass type moves, so I ended up taking her down with Onix. Does anyone have suggestions for the fighting and fire type gym leaders? I think they're going to be the toughest ones for me, especially since I'll have two pokemon that are 2x weak to fire on my team (Forretress and Wormadam).

Jaromir Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Does anyone have suggestions for the fighting and fire type gym leaders? For Cal, you should rely on your Onix and Empoleon. You can also catch a Nosepass by rock smashing in Apophyll Cave He is not that hard, as his team is not that high leveled for a 45 cap. For nightmare Kiki, I strongly recommend you to level up Forretress to 46 and learn Iron Defence. Thanks to it, he took down both hyper potions, three pokemon, and almost knock out the fourth. Also, if you can afford it, buy some ice creams, as they are the best potion in this moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
