Item: None or Flying Gem (Crobat will use Acrobatics here, so use Flying Gem when facing a strong foe, not on every battle, unless you have that amount of gems) Dazzling Gleam is for a bit coverage for your team, but it's not so good) Sludge Bomb / Grassy Terrain / Dazzling Gleam (Sludge Bomb is STAB but the TM is not available yet, go for it when it comes. Toxic Spikes to give advantage on battles came from lvl up) Hidden Power / Toxic Spikes (With the IVs I said, Hidden Power is Fire, giving coverage against Ice mons. Extrasensory (Coverage, Egg move on Budew) Magical Leaf (STAB, with boost from Techinician goes for 90 BP) Item: Miracle Seed or Amplifield Rock (Miracle Seed to boost grass moves, Amplifield Rock if you need a strategy to take care of terrain on a battle) Roserade SHOULD be bred, or it won't be so good Roserade - My favorite grass pokemon, not too much love from people. Surf / Ice Beam (Surf will help in double battles, change for Ice Beam when it becomes available also STAB) Water Pledge / Scald (STAB, Water Pledge from move tutor in Lapis Ward, Scald is get after Amaria and it's better) Item: Sea Incense (I use to have more damage on water moves, but you can go for Leftovers or Life Orb) Brave Bird / Thunder Punch / Earthquake (Brave Bird you get through lvl up, Thunder Punch from move tutor, and Earthquake is not available yet, but a great move for it) Bulk Up (Attack Boost, learns through lvl up) Item: Wide Lens (So it'll never miss Blaze Kick and High Jump Kick) Also I tried to build a team that covers all typings, let's go:īlaziken - Everyone on forum agrees that Blaziken just wrecks the game, if you want comfort, this one will be your pillow.Ībility: Speed Boost (that's the main reason he just wrecks) Just so you know, I prefer fast and offense-oriented mons.
As you want to try breeding, I'll leave the team I think it's best with all EVs/IVs and egg moves.
You can breed all mons you want and then use Shared PC to take them on a new game. I've never ever had to soft reset and change strategies before gym leaders and other challenging opponents this much. I simply ran Chimchar over it because apparently contrary doesn't work.Īlso also also! I don't know the owner/lead creator of the game very well, I think their name is Ame but I wanted to say that their game is awesome, I love all of the work they've put into it and it's really the first pokemon game that's ever really challenged me.
In terms of starters, Snivy is actually my favorite starter.
I know that with one of the mods I found on these forums I could breed mons and dump them in the shared pc box or something like that but I'd rather acquire them during the actual story. I'd like to try a different team though but I'd also like it to be somewhat comfortable and accessible through out the storyline at reasonable points. My team probably could've used a bulky water type over my weavile in all honesty but it worked. Prior to Weavile I tended to just carry around fodder, aside from having a Bisharp for a while. I liked having a speedy dragon slayer on my team though. I don't believe I could get knock off at the move tutor unfortunately though. Weavile - I waited so long for this guy purely out of love for it. It was actually amazing for doubles with how it got protect naturally.ĭonphan -> Excadrill I tried to make donphan work but a solo ground typing just didn't work, although it did last me through Shade's gym and then some Leavanny one of the original team members, it put in a surprising amount of work. The electric type bulk just wasn't enough and honestly, Jolteon is probably the best non-legendary/mythical eletric type.
Meowstic -> Alakazam which was a very necessary upgrade roughly the same bulk, but way more power and with it's high speed, lack of priority utility moves didn't matter.Īmpharos -> Jolteon another needed upgrade. My infernape was naive so running a mixed set would be fine. Taunt saved me a few times, although I switched mach punch out for acrobatics at the fighting gym because it helped out so much. I actually got a shiny when soft resetting for iron fist. I was just thinking about replaying the game but I wanted something different but at the same time potentially more comfortable. I just played through the game for the first time, although I probably missed a few side quests.
And with very few minimal switching of party members?
