The thing is, Reborn is harder than any game, but it also gives you the tools to overcome it. Its upon you to serve yourself.
#1
Have *A LOT* of patience.
I can confirm this, had to level up 2 pidoves to take on 1 of the gyms
Amari I almost broke my keyboard because of Shelly, then I realized, I could just level up my Combusken to level 36 to have Blaziken, then I used a Common Candy because of the level cap and destroyed her... It felt good.
@@Ghms-go4pj I did the same lol
@@rajeshjogani1907 lol I had a shiny Swoobat with Simple, Calm Mind + Air Slash and Blaziken with Speed Boost, Bulk Up + Blaze Kick. 👌
Me trying to beat Charlotte. Eventually I won just by luck😂😂
"Rather than just being lazy and suborn trying to luck your way through with a dysfunctional team"...
Well maybe I like my dysfunctional team
And you see that’s the problem
@@colorweaver5070 Still make it through tho
Honestly fair I’ll probably just go off of Pokémon I like Incineroar I’m coming that shiny is amazing
I have another very important tip. Some event Pokèmon have 3 perfect IVs, such as Corey's Nidorina. Make use of them! Also, Pokèmon that don't share your ID gain more EXP.
Also, with the next update, all non-breedable pokémon are guarenteed to have at least three perfect IVs (such as Type:Null)
I blasted Florinia with a Kricketot. Technician Fury Cutter man.
prolly dumpstered her with that monster lmao
Justin Thies SAME
i think florinia was very easiy because i sweap her with combusken
@@pradhanpriya79 you hit the tiki button.
If you get the reference you are well learned.
Same. My Kricketune slayed everything in its path.
I know it's probably not a "legit" thing to do, but you shouldn't be afraid to save before big battles and soft reset if you lose. It helps you to come up with a good strategy to beat that one Gym Leader or other boss you might be stuck on.
what do you mean not legit? that's how you're supposed to play
no That’s why I put the quotes around legit. Some people are just like purists or whatever and say that not taking the loss and restarting from a save point is cheating. I don’t know, I just feel like those people are out there.
I think this extra measure is a good strategy because prize money is scarce. If you have 17 badges and your Pokémon is level 95, if you lose a battle, you could be losing a whopping 30,000 money that’ll take almost forever to get outside of Pay Day spam.
@@scaldburner1433 I just do some test runs of the trainers of the days and set up a team with one pokemon I'm training and just grind that for 30 minutes. I'm set for a pretty long while after that.
@@GasparMoT also apparently you lose "relationship points" with some characters when you lose to gyms. Apparently those are really important
These are his guidelines:
1. Explore everywhere, talk to everyone, go back to places you have already been to, etc. There are many great sidequests, you can obtain different pokemon at different times, etc.
2. Torchic with Speed Boost can help you through the game, it is practically the best starter, so it can be a crutch for beginning players.
3. Mining is in this game, it is your life, you can easily miss the mining kit, he explains how to get it at 4:50. You can get countless important items such as Heart Scales, get plates, fossils, the odd keystone, you can change your pokemon's natures with heart scales through the Pokemon Psychologist.
4. It is okay to be picky about IV's, EV's and Nature. His standards are a decent(not harmful) nature and 10 IV's in every relevant stat. You can get berries that reduce EVs such as attack for a special attacker so you can get decent stats.
5. The gym battles have some of the most difficult gym battles due to the field effects, gym leaders having 6 pokemon, and strong pokemon. Sometimes the "answer" is nearby the gym, so don't wait for luck or brute force a gym. For example, can get a Phanpy right outside the poison type gym and get a water type Rhyhorn right before the Fire gym. Look for solutions.
6. Be prepared to train more than 6 pokemon. The better pokemon tend to come in events and later. Certain pokemon will be dead weight in certain gyms, so feel free to rotate them out with others. This can pay off later and save you a lot of trouble.
7. This is more minor than the other tips. Hidden, invisible items are common, so feel free to mash A anywhere you go. They are typically on areas that are hard to get to that look like nothing is there, isolated rocks, empty corners, etc.
Best started is Charmander
*me angrily running and screaming on multiple attempts with the same team before gym
this video: why are you Struggling? WHY ARE YOU STRUGGLING?
Nub Edit: Wow didnt expect this to explode!
I've had to change my team many times in reborn to deal with different gym leaders
*Had to swap out a Vileplume, Pidgeot, and a Sandslash for Serra's gym*
*Had to train up a Quagsire, Shedinja, and literally anything else that could handle evasion well for Serra's gym to make up for it*
You'll pretty much be forced to switch party members at certain points. Rarely will you have a member that can pull their own weight for long (besides your starter). That being said, holy shit can Simple Swoobat destroy some gyms.
@@rtiq270 come on my mudsdale has been with me from radomus still the end destroying the fighiting steel and dark gym like they were nothing
@@plasmetal8225 serra's gym was the easiest for me. i swept most of her team with my nature power roserade and finished off her froslass with zoroark
Dark gym, Fairy Gym, Fire Gym and Electric gym are easiest for me
a small pro tip? pick up. the ability early game is amazing. better healing items and decent stuff. even if you don't use it you can sell it.
it's amazing late game too since you can pick up Leftovers and Lucky Eggs starting I think level 80 and 90 respectively
In the beginning, there's a chance you could save a Pachirisu from some thugs and it might have Pickup. Save it and you've got a good Pokémon that could snag some great items.
Tim Lopez and in future uses (if you find it early on) pay day Meowth (Persian I've doesn't have a change in damage, but it's evolution is more combat based, so it's up to you) it is also the only to gain leftovers, ability capsules (easily), and heart scales become the most common item on the chart. Also... Since Ame changes the level of Reborn City at the end, does anyone know a good place to grind (both in EV training and level up)
level up from rebattleable trainers in either grand hall or agate circus
Yep, my friend sent me a pickup linoone and gourgeist (both level 100) and they were getting me TONS of good items like Full restores, leftovers and lucky eggs.
And then there is ttar, who is playing nuzlocke if this version!!
Right
Hari Kiran did he lose
@@Stanwithyuji yes but now is playing a non-nuzlocked version because idk if he knew how difficult this game is.
Rtasd Sasfrt it’s alright. One day Mr. Ding Dong games will attempt it. He almost beat Emerald Kaizo as a nuzlocke. I’d argue that game is way harder then reborn.
Ttar has experience anyway so he couldve kept on the nuzlocke but the comments were screaming dont continue
Meanwhile I just use the same 6 Pokemon. What I can tell you though is having a Mewostic with the Prankster Ability and having Light Screen and Reflect on it saves your day
you right, screens are SUPER good in this game
I use alolan ninetales with veil, absolutely true
Except when you catch espurr it's already forgotten reflect, so you still have to wait for the move relearner.
@@hpatdh077 what about the espurr in the house at the beginning of the game
Struggle at the first gym? Fish a goldeen in the house, it has lightningrod which disables her electric moves.
What about Sonic boom and oricorios air slash ?
@@hpatdh077
You rarely find a single pokemon (without a great set-up) that can solosweep a gym. The electric attacks are just much more damaging due to STAB and the field, nullifying that is great at any gym, unless your team if also based on it.
Back to the gym: He just gives you one pokemon that is great for 4/6.I have used a shedinja for less xD. A mud sport zigzagoon can terminate the field alltogether. Other goodies are strong early levellers like gulpin and moxie mightyena, evolved starter.
*cough* earthquake *cough*
@@XYZen1th its impossible to have earthquake that early in the game. your best bets are the patchurisu with volt absorb and goldeen with lightning rod. if you get a zigzagoon you can teach it mud sport to terminate the electric terrain for the rest of the battle
Bruhhhhhh
If you're having trouble with Shelly, you can catch an Espurr in the nearby aqua hideout which already knows Fake Out.
It prevents her Illumise from setting up Rain Dance, if you can kill it with your other Pokemon. Even if you can't knock it out right away, I noticed that she (at least for me) didn't go for Rain Dance on the second turn.
Thank you for this video. I have been watching Pokemon Reborn lps and a good chunk of them make the mistake of not changing their Pokemon teams or strategies around to take advantage of the field effects in some way.
I think the biggest tip is to think about 6v6 team chemistry. Don't have all powerhouses on your team, have 1-2 tank pokemon and 1-2 pokemon that are good for hazards (and if possible one that has rapid spin.) Your best starters are gonna probably be torchic for fire, froakie for water, and snivy for grass so consider an ideal team comp for you when choosing. Lastly, I can't stress this enough, EV TRAIN, PLEASE! At low levels it doesn't mean much but it will work you wonders late game
tip number 8, abuse the crap out of the common candies, evolve pokemon or teach them moves that they learn above the level cap then use common candies to lower it back down. my empoleon made easy work of the poison gym because it gained steel typing doing this
Great video, very good tips. I've always been in the habit of rotating my pokemon to get the best advantage I can. My main weakness, is probably that I rotate too many pokemon around and tend to get too many under leveled pokemon that I have to grind for a long time to get them all caught up.
REALLY Cool Protip:
When you unlock oran berries in the Obsida department store (one sticker) and have come back to reborn city from route 1, convert all of your money into oran berries and take them back to the Miltank at route 1. Any one of them will do. The Miltank will notice the oran berries and trade a moomoo milk for each one. Sell all of your moomoo milk! Repeat! You make a 50 pokedoller profit for each bottle! It adds up into one of the ONLY money farming methods in the game...:)
I just put use an amulet coin and beat the circus clown over and over he gives 10000 pokedollars per fight and his pokemon don't grow in lvl you can also get tons of shards i have like 50 of every colour after buying all the pokemon from the black market
@@paperfigure9438 Do you mean the Color wheel Clown in the amusement park? Unless you soft reset for a desired color battle, YOU likely have a good, versatile fast AND/or tanky lead pokemon to wear that amulet coin and handle all those different possible results I.E. Red:Scizor, Brown: Dragonite ect. Who do YOU use??? ^_^
i have mamoswine,zoroak,ampharos,greninja,metagross,garchomp,arcanine but only amulet coins works like if the pokemon holding it was in the battle you get double money for winning so you can just have a pokemon which can deal with the lead pokemon of every colour or most colours most of my pokemon are lvl 90 - 92 tho except zoroak which 83 and mamoswine which is 89
@@paperfigure9438 So you slip the amulet coin user in before the battle is over. Noted and noted!
@@ssjsmith8879 thats what someone can do but my garchomp ohk's all of his pokemon even while holding the amulet coin and not a type boosting item
Another tip: get that Zigzagoon/Pachirisu at the start of the game, but watch out that it has pick up, then carry it with you as long as you can spare that team Slot. The items are incredibly helpfull, because you get so much healing stuff if you don't forget to check it. While training, i use four pkmn with pick up (mostly meoths from the gras infront of the grand hall) while training. Especially in the beginning you can use the nuggets it may drop super rarly, because the sell for 5k.
Great video covering all the tips and what a great community spreading their ideas and tips in the comments, so I wanted to add mine.
The comments had a lot of stuff that I was thinking and the Blaziken set up thing is HUGE, but there is something I also find very important! ABUSE HAX AND CHEESE! For example, I like to use Ampharos with T-wave and confuse Ray then switch to my Blaziken or simple Swoobat to set up A LOT. Also moves like cotton spore and bulldoze which slow enemies is important to allow my hard hitting mons to finish off enemy sweepers. Then my ultimate cheese is if there is one mom I just can’t bear than Sharpedo Destiny Bond is broken!
Ex) SPOILER!!! I thinks it’s Solaris who has the lv75 Garchomp when you are capped at 45 and I used a sturdy Golem bulldoze, focus sash ampharos cotton spore and Sharpedo D-bond and bam easy game.
I’m prepared to switch Pokémon out or train more but so far abusing hax, cheese and set up makes the game pretty easy!
Shoutout to my team: Blaziken, Garbodor, Swoobat, Golem, Amphiros and Sharpedo!
Things I wanna repeat that I saw is abuse Pick Up and payday if possible!
Only use Pkmn with beneficial or neutral natures.
Super strong Pokémon aren’t really available, but a team of Pokémon that is balanced is almost necessary (walls, wall breakers, hax, and sweepers)
I personally click A on every rock for items.
Save and soft reset ALL the time loool
This was probably too long but thanks for reading!
Pls share any more ideas in my thread THANK YOU!
For all those single mons, I tend to just use Prankster Murkrow with Perish Song. Less setting up lol.
@@erikbodo2110 I beat the three PULSE Tangrowths with an igglybuff which later on became a Jigglypuff where I just used perish song and let it faint then wait for three turns then win.
Personal Tip #8: Nature Power. You get the TM for this after beating Florinia, and it can be one of the most versatile moves in the game. In every field, it gets buffed, usually quite heavily, and there's a lot of situations where it can absolutely destroy things. Particularly in the Factory Field, it turns into a Base 200 Gear Grind. Base 200 Power. And you fight in this field quite a lot. I run this move on my Lilligant alot, and even with a modest nature and 0 attack ev's, that Gear Grind takes lives. Once you know which move you get in which terrain, you can really start steamrolling some enemies with it. Unfortunately, this doesnt work too well with most Gym Leaders, but its still nice to have.
Helpful tips. I traditionally don't shift my team around very much (I don't use the first 6 pokemon i find, like you were mentioning; I craft a team to cover itself depending on what's available early and mid game), as I normally would try and muscle my way through. As I write this, I've muscled my way through with my team through Aya's gym (with many issues). I may make minor shifts if I have too many issues, but I normally find a strategy with each gym that works, just takes a few different attemps (and luck) to make work.
Loved the video, but a quick update for who is playing Episode 18: Void Kissed. You can now obtain Silvally and Naganadel, which are a great help for the game. You can obtain Type: Null by completing a side quest in 7th Street where you need to give a cientist a Carvanha, a Unfezant and a Luxray, then she will make the Type: Null. You can obtain Poipole in Agate City by completing the Pokédex with every non legendary/mythical pokémon (since in Ep. 18 every pokémon that is not legendary/ mythical is available) the only special pokémon available up to now are Type: Null, Silvally, Phione, Poipole and Naganadel.
I would recommend getting a destiny bond Pokemon and a reliable ground type and grass type Pokemon. Water Pokemon seemed obsolete once you had some good electric and ground type Pokemon. Don’t get all out attackers, personally I used tangrowth and alola-muk to tank a lot of hits so I could revive other Pokemon. Also having a solid team of 10 Pokemon is useful. Doubles battles are common and I truly believe they’re the hardest so be prepared for getting Pokemon that work as a good doubles pare. In the Grand Hall (I think it’s called) there are some trainers that you can endlessly fight and they dish out a good amount of experience and money. Learn how to destroy gym environments! Tailwind and Earthquake are good moves. Moves like electric and grassy terrain are useful, but are temporary and gym battles are not that fast due to them having 6 Pokemon. Natures, EVs, and IVs are important. That’s basically the most important things I found in my two playthroughs.
Dry Skin toxicroak with Drain Punch, paired with another tanky water pokemon with leftovers using a water attack that hits everyone? best combo ever!
Anubis Lockward you’re right. I never really thought about that, but I haven’t played the game in like 3 years, so I don’t remember it lol. If I ever go back I’ll play it differently, maybe if they have a good Mac version I’ll try it out. Thanks!
Blaziken is a ridiculously good single mon (if not the best one in Reborn, like jeez it gives Metagross, Volcarona, Haxorus etc. a run for their money) but I feel Swampert is easier to build a good team around whether purposefully or accidentally due to its one weakness and great set of resists/immunities.
Necrobones Plus Infernape has already proven itself to me.
I dunno, I started with Froakie myself and grabbed an Ability Capsule to Protean, he's pretty solid so long as you make certain to control it's type swapping well. It gets Psychic/Normal/Dark/Water/Rock easy enough, and I'd imagine if we can find the TM's it can get Grass/Ice/Poison/Flying as well.
Another one to consider is Contrary Snivy, since the enemy team is great at stat reducing and it can turn into an end-game sweeper with Leaf Storm when you get to high levels. Also, it can be given Nature Power. Nature Power is plausibly the best Move in Reborn, it is seriously great due to how it changes to the move that best fits any Field you are in, ensuring you can always attack with incredible power. For sheer versatility, starters who can learn Nature Power are brilliant (all Grass starters+Cyndaquill).
+vc180191 as of the time you wrote this I'm pretty sure Greninja alrleady had access to Gunk Shot/Grass Knot/Ice Punch or Icy Wind for Grass/Poison/Ice :p EDIT: as long as you dont evo to Greninja it learns Bounce for Flying
As for Snivy, it's really good in the battles you can use it, but early game it's pretty meh aside from being a fast sub-seeder and once you get leaf storm there's still the problem of Serperior's ass base 75 sp.atk. even full investment modest doesn't get all the ohkos it needs at just +2. combining it with hazards+roar/whirlwind/dragon tail is really good tho
The thing with Swampert, or any water type starter for that matter, is that it's pretty much useless for both the first and second gyms and therefore not a good choice for someone who's just starting out with these kinds of games. Besides being a late game threat AND a potential Mega Evolution, Speed boost Torchic will help get them through the earlier portion of the game, where good Pokemon are rare/non-existent.
"The thing with Swampert, or any water type starter for that matter, is that it's pretty much useless for both the first and second gyms"
um, it's a ground type, how tf is it useless in Julia's gym lol
Also early game has plenty of gems, espurr, munna, rattata (plenty of places to manually trigger guts), shinx, snubbul, etc, and marshtomp has better matchups against more early game gyms actually, being able to abuse shelly's rain instead of being hampered by it, better against shade and corey, solos julia ez.
If you are really having a hard time, download the sandbox mod. The cap level is still active, but you can build a great team from minute 0 and it saves you a lot of time. You can choose how much you use it to decide de difficulty yourself (I used it to EV train, because is something you can do at any point, but takes a lot of time)
For the grass gym the bug type kricketune absolutely saved my life. I kept spamming fury cutter and then just 1 shot like 3 quarters of her team. Having that bug type was so useful lol. Also for me the battle to actually challenge florintine with fern was actually so much harder than flobot herself. Also that bouncy pokemon with poison heal was so annoying in the beginning.
I have a tip too:
Take those Swirlix and Glameow when you can.
Swirlix has Fake Tears and Play Nice, combined to a stab fairy Wind on the Misty Field. (Until Nidorino is on, that thing easly sweeps Cain in Coral Ward.)
Glameow tho, has Hypnosis.
Combined to Swirlix, those two together in doubles really do a nice duo of Lowering Stats + Sleep.
It may not seem like it, but they're Amazing in early game.
vivillian is a life saver in this game. compound eyes + sleep powder can give you turns to set up without really worrying
I mostly powered through most gyms with my Shiny Musharna with a Calm Mind set. And early in-game, I trained an Espurr to a Meowstic to become a reflect/light screen abuser lol
Battle items are useful, too. X Sp. Def and X Def helped me more in some situations!
kenthedream I have meowstic with competitive and Bisharp with defiant. Very nice to knock enemies out when offensive stats are boosted. Also I usually use trick room and then I send my slow Rhyperior, Granbull and Bisharp out.
In most games drugs arent worth it. In reborn, ya gotta do what you gotta do.
I'm now using musharna on this playthrough and it's really good. Now I have been struggling with charlotte and I have built my team to already have 3 water types. Kabutops, walrein and I will grind a kingdra tomorrow. My save file is over 80 hours now, crap.
As a pokemon Reborn Vet this is pretty spot on, though one more tip that not many people do that bugs me should be said. Especially early game, have a pokemon with pickup, it will get you supplies to where you don't need to buy anything, heartscales will be abundant, money wont be an issue, and you can easily change it's ability later on if you aren't satisfied enough. I always look for that pickup meowth (Hopefully with payday as well) or the teddiursa. It's just useful with so many cool items, especially early on access to dusk balls and blast powder.
When E17 comes out I'm gonna start over again I'll take Litten as starter pokémon. A big Fire/Dark type with Intimidate sure is great on Reborn
Zubat is gonna get the ghastly treatment bc of leech life
I very highly doubt it's going to be removed entirely lol. Maybe it will be moved to a later point (Azurine Island is probably too early with Leech Life involved), but outright removing a 'mon with 90 base attack, 70 base special attack, and meh bulk for having a decently powerful lifesteal and good typing is kind of absurd. We _do_ have Metagross, after all.
Hamza Kahled Game Freak decided to give Zubat Absorb in its starting moveset instead of Leech Life. It still gets it, but it gets it so much later, after you probably would have evolved it into Crobat.
+M3G4 T3RR4 you first get Zubat (in e16) around when it gets Leech Life in gen 7 iirc, so moot point
Another tip: Get lucky in wonder trades. Some people there are very generous, giving either a starter or a generally good pokemon with nearly max IVs, though mostly are level 1.
That Cradily was insane... i had to max pancham's stats AND he switched out and use a super potion and then i finally beat it
Since last update you can also 1v1 with low kick sudowoodo
good ideas i personaly did the whole game till i was able to get the 3 pokemon i wanted with less pokemon so i dont see why ppl struggle (for example till i get ralts i had 3 pokemon only raticate luxray and blaziken and ye blaziken is rly strong but i gotta say the part where he came most in handy was in the fighting gym where he just bulk up and power through)
oh and here is 2 more tips that could help u if u have problems at the very start if u cant for whatever reason power though the game catch a raticate (with guts and adamant if u have the patience i did that) u can get facade and once he has that u can go get poisoned or burn or something and power though the gym luxray can also do that with guts and facade both rly good pokemon toget
another tip i want to share is where to train EVs seem like my friends who played with me couldnt find a rly good spot so here it is
if u looking for attack , sp attack u can get those from that park at obsidia (ibelive thats the name if not its the park on that park of the city where the road is broken) right after u finish fighting that tangela u can train there its easy and the pokemon center is rly closeby
if u looking for speed the best place is inside that cave u can see some pokemon flying way up they are lvl 5 and all give speed EVs u can get the first 2 and then go out of the screen to reset it and get bk in easily done
for the rest rly i never looked becouse my team is full of attackers but hp u can also find a bit at the place where u find attack and sp attack ones
also save before mining always becouse the items u get arent fixed! not even the amount so u could get once 2 items and then if u reload it could be 5
thats all im thinking rly oh and here is a good suggestion for a pokemon IF u pick to side with the aqua team once the leader is gone u can fish on that pond behind him and catch carvanhas that evolve to sharpedo one of the best pokemon there is it can learn ice fang , aqua jet(later replace with waterfall) , poison fang and cruch rly good pokemon if u use it correct
another weird but awsome pokemon is octillery.... ye u can get that later in the game from a fountain in the city with the teleportation and even tho its slow its powerfull ! try to get it with sniper too and u can do some amazing staff he can learn ice beam and sludge wave too! if u go for it with sniper get focus energy and u can later get scope too anyway have fun!
sp. atk: most easily obtained from pyrous mountain, 49% chance to find something that gives sp. atk evs
attack: from rooftop garden or, if it's night, the garden in the peridot ward which is full of bug types (pretty sure that's something like an 80% chance to find something that gives attack evs)
speed: from where u mentioned
defense: I think the rebattle-able Magcargo in pyrous mountain give 2 defense evs? if not then idk
sp. def: I think citae d'arc has wild Drowzee and Hypno, but there's certainly better areas
hp: I have no idea of the best spot but it's anywhere but where u mentioned lol
One thing i learned as well is save before mining a rock to make sure you get a good mine since they are limited
2 extra tips:
After restoration (Badge 13) you can buy EV reset discs for 10k a pop.
2. Know what you're going into. Research the fights prior to doing them. Look at the fields too.
If your getting trouble with Field effects just use pokegear's field effect option to get knowlege about which moves are good in which Field and which are not. one more thing pokemons in reborn are easier to train so dont be picky about level grinding every gym have a great level gringing area just look for it.
Reborn has gotten a lot easier than when I first touched it but it's still a very demanding game with loads of enjoyable battles. I love the much improved battle AI, it makes a lot of moves that reduce stats or apply status effects with delay (such as yawn) a lot less useful but it gives you a bigger challenge in exchange.
The best tips I can give are to study up on field effects and to always have two tanks in your team, they will be invaluable to buy you time to heal up the rest of your team in important battles or to set up favourable field effects and status the enemy team. You will need about 4 to 5 tanks in total to have a good type spread just like you should have at least 10 damage carry pokemon.
The first gym was not hard or easy, but it was the creators saying: Hey, this is the kind of stuff your gonna be up against, be prepared to change teams.
And i did change my team when i battled Corey, changing Kricketune for Foretress was the best dissension of my playtrough, it its completely immune against his poison moves, and is very tanky in the defense part. only Pokemon i had trouble against with Foretress was Skuntank which had Incinerate, but my Donphan had no trouble magnitudeing this thing. Skrelp was luckly not able to do anything when i nuzzled it with pachirisu (Which i named Se Jun after Se Jun Park which use pachi in 2014 VGC and won with it). Croagunk was one shotted with Donphan, so i had no trouble with it (Before i used Noibat to combat its fighting type, but it hit hard back with venoshock and almost killed it, then tried suckerpunch. Corey did this everytime so i used roost instead of an attacking move so his suckerpunch failed and it saved Noibat with some health left) Mareanie is a great challenge to beat, since if Skrelp did not get his toxic spikes up, you can still get poisoned by the seed thingy Mareanie gets. Now Crowbat is probably the hardest mon i have ever battled in my entire life, it is fast, hard hitting and gets boosted by the corrosion field.
This right here is what Pokemon should be, giving gym leader hard ass balls to beat teams and having to switch out Pokemon that would do no good in the battle, of course, its still a game that is popular with kids, and should give a fair fight. (Maybe make a insane mode where everything becomes hard as metapod using harden.)
Hidden abilities work like main abilities so: Torchic with speedboost, ditto with impostor, greninja with protean, tyrantrum with head smash rock head combo, swoobat with simple and calm mind, cinccino with skill link, etc search for things like this
Pro tip for mining: Save before you mine and only keep revives, plates, and fossils. Everything else forget. You can buy most of this stuff later in the game and it isn't very useful anyway like the iron ball. Shards? You can find them all over the ground and there is a point in the game where you can literally beat a guy over and over again and each and every single time you beat them they give you a shard of a random color and money. Might be a good idea to get a few Heart Scales but otherwise only revives, plates, and fossils.
it takes a loooooong while before you get an inf source of evo stones, they're def worth keeping if you plan on using them
Well, I guess you should amend that to Max revives, since you can buy Cotton Candy in the game (although it costs $5000, but that's chump change once you hit Agate Circus) and they pretty much function like revives.
+Ashwin Nair it's chump change for now but Ame's fixing the money rewards for e17 which is coming very soon (late nov/early dec) so it'll get expensive
As long as the Rainbow Challenge dispenses money, it doesn't matter how expensive she makes it. I'm guessing that's on the agenda then?
EDIT: Also, sweet, I can start the new episode right after exams!
my time estimate is just an estimate, don't get too excited - it's far from confirmed
and either it'll dispense nothing or so little that it's not worth grinding I'd imagine
im replaying this game a year, and i completely agree with ALL of the tips, even if the torchic one makes me feel bad, because i'm using him, well her this time, again xD
it would be nice to make a hidden ability tier list
Would've also mentioned Shelly with the Prankster Espurr right outside her gym in an Alley, i believe shes the first Notorious gym leader due to her gimmick (which mind you is what i love most about Reborn Gyms they got gimmicks that are neat), Also Heatproof Bronzong with Trick Room vs Charlotte ;) even if your pokemon are fast ones theres a 9 out of 10 chance hers are brokenly faster and it saves alot of effort on her.
On gym battles got beat back by Charlotte so bad I came back with 6 level 65+ water pokemon and still lost like 3 times, I should've thought about the rock/ground types as they dont get the - 50% damage from the field, I'd literally crushed every other gym leader up til her, i suppose the reason people think shes hard is because fires hard counter is relatively useless against her
Yeah, that's Reborn. I thought I'd wipe the floor with the Grass Gym because I had Braixen... Well...
hardest battle for me was the sound guy defiantly prepare for that fight before going into the building
I really back up the nature/IV point, with the pokemon psychiatrist in 7th street the IVs are what you really want to get right for long term members. Currently, as I'm replaying for the new release my mon's are 62-64 just before I take on Blake, and I haven't had many issues yet.
All hail Lord, the king of Reborn
Lets see 1st 4 i figured out on my own. I am watching this prepping for the finale Arc. I want to start from the beginning
You mentioned Torchic, but what about Pachirisu? Sure it can't setup and take down everything in its path, but it makes that so much easier with Nuzzle and Charm, and having the Pickup ability. Pickup in general is good, but Pachirisu is easily the best early game Pickup mon to get this. Make sure it has some decent bulk and make sure its nature doesn't lower its speed and your good to go.
I make a point to use different Pokemon in each of my Reborn save files, but I just can't let go of Pachirisu. It actually makes everything so much easier, especially when it picks up a convenient item you'll definitely need later.
I'm currently running with Lycanroc Daytime and this thing is a beast! Corey's once fear Crobat? Useless. Shelly? Hah! I didn't even have to get up a Stealth Rock, just outspend and Rock Slide everything. It still does really good in the mid game, too, which is where I'm at. Ame made a big mistake putting this early, especially before Shelly. Although it was a prize from the police, not sure if it's still randomized.
yeah but that is a specific pokemon there are many others too but torchic is the starter so its important
up to 10 badges I breezed through by using charm and then bulking up my blaziken
you can also mine max revives from rocks, makes gym battles and important fights easier
So far, I've started with Rowlet. Got an excellent Lightning Rod Goldeen who nullified most Pokémons from the first gym except for the Voltorb and the Electrode which were dealt with by Gulpin and (Surprisingly) my starter.
I was a bit disappointed you couldn't get a ground type before the first gym. I'd call that a design mistake (It would never happen in a mainline game) but I did without.
Right now I'm headed to the second gym. I was very lucky to find a Mankey with Excellent IVs and the best nature. Didn't even have to look for it, it was just the first Mankey I caught, so I'm confident for gym 2.
We'll see what's next, I haven't decided on any Pokémon that will stay forever, except my starter. But the Mankey might stay a while.
You forgot to make sure to get Espurr right near the start of the game. This one Pokemon has been an absolute beast in destroying the majority of the gyms I have faced, and right now I'm up to the fighting gym after beating Victoria for the umpteenth time.
The mareep is apparently really good too.
its not always an espur though. it can also be a whishmur and which one it is is decided when you press new game
@@palmagius It's never a Whismur. You're thinking of a different building. The one I'm talking about is the one you have to pay the beggar a few times to get him to move. It can either be an Espurr or a Mincinno.
@@robertsilvermyst7325 the minchino has that terrifying ability were multi hit moved always hit max amount of times right?
@@dabuff1319 I believe that is its hidden ability, yes.
oh and another point, find a drillburr/excadrill ASAP saves SO much trouble later on fast, hits hard,a dn gets EQ as well as iron head and all that good stuff
My Noctowl with Echoed Voice has been doing WORK
You can get Skiploom before Florinia too which was incredibly useful when I did the fight
Thank you for the tutorial! Btw, is pkmn rejeveunation (I don't know how to spell it) a kind of sequel to Pokemon reborn? Thank you again!
leonardo brezzi Rejuvenation is not a sequel, it's a stand alone fan game inspired by Reborn and using many of the same gameplay elements. Many of my tips here do apply there too.
Lord Wallace Ok thanks
The hidden items in this game give me a flashback to Doom humping the walls going UNF in case there's a secret
Assume that there will be a rival battle or event occurring often. Save a lot. Try to find shards for 7th street to get a lucky egg, saved me so much time.
Another thing with the Psychologist is SAVE before you plan on change the nature because it's randomized, so keep soft reseting until you get the nature you want
No more. With Episode 18, you have to pay 3 heart scales, but it lets you choose specifically which nature you want.
Oh good update thanks
good video
Since there are Abilitycapsules which change the Ability of you Pokemon I claim Froggy is the best starter. Greninja gets the Protean Ability if you use a Capsule on it. He can learn SO many different moves and Change its type by using them. That safed me in practically every Gym...
Even the mega z ring is part of a sidequest i think (i haven't gotten that far yet; just going by what i read on the reborn website)
for charolotte, you forgot to mention that you literally just got surf to get to her in the first place
Don't be afraid to go for the maximum cheese:
1. Pokemon with Sturdy+Mirror Coat (Magneton or Sawk)
2. Murkrow with Prankster+Perish Song
3. Destiny bond, have at least 1 ALL THE TIME
4. Talonflame with Tailwind+Gale wings, because everyone has Max speed investment for some reason...
Hey I'm my second run of the game I chose charmander again and I'm good with the rash nature he had high speed attack and spical attack because he is a great mixattacker also charmeleon destroyed the electric gym
Also the thing with charrlote I used Charizard typhlosion and arcanine 2 of the three had flash fire and bet fire with fire also another pro tip get all the starters u can get they are very good and help full
When i started I refused to start with torchic because im not an easy(yet still hard) mode player well as soon as I beat amaria I decided I'm gonna get the event torchic
i actually had to level up my starter over the level where itll still always obey me to defeat literally just the first gym
pro tip. get a poochyena with moxie and lvl it to 18 where it evolves into mightyena.
i used mightyena (nicknamed Lady) in that first gym and she completely destroyed her. fainting all of julia's mons on her own
Me and my 5 memento spiritombs steamrolling the pulse pokemon.
if you're battling a single boss pokemon you can use a prankster murkrow with perish song. works every time
my team right now is not prepared to fight the fighting leader LOL i have like 4 weaknesses to fighting
I would personally recommend Chimchar over Torchic. I was blessed with a shiny Sneasel from the Growlithe mystery egg trade and she made a deadly assassin duo with Infernape. They cover each other's weaknesses so well
I second this, Infernape is faster at base than Blaziken and has a stronger late-game movepool as well as better mixed offenses, also Iron Fist Mach Punch/Fire Punch/Thunderpunch is just fucked up LOL
Infernape is great and all but it's available later. Froakie, torchic, and snivy are the best starters due to amazing HAs and being the only starters that aren't available later
+Hamza Kahled Isn't Chimchar literally found after the end of the current release though? Like, post-Adrienn? If this were E17 already I'd totally agree but as it is Chimchar is post-game content...
Never used Snivy myself; seems like it would have a weak early game. Its Grass/Normal coverage can only go so far.
Torchic is arguable due to previously mentioned reasons.
Froakie having STAB on everything is awesome but it doesn't actually hit all that hard until you can get a Life Orb so I'd argue that it's in the same position as Snivy.
-besides none of them are better than Granbull so it's irrelevant anyway ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)-
Aye, Chimchar can be found at the end of the current release I think. Speed boost Blaziken would be
awesome in-game if you could teach it protect to get a free speed boost. Blaziken's natural speed is mediocre and its defences are pathetic, leaving it vulnerable to one-hit KOs. Baton pass would also be cool when combined with bulk up + speed boosts to turn your lesser pokemon into sweepers.
I think it's a shame you get Feebas so late. Milotic is extremely useful in this game .
Exactly why I can't wait for Protect. Blaziken could _really_ use that - it would be easily better than Infernape if it had it. 130 base attack and High Jump Kick is scary with just 80 speed; never mind essentially getting ~125 base speed for free!
Milotic is one of my favourite 'mons, shame we a) can't get Ice Beam (can we?) on it and b) get it post-Waterfall :(
-at least we have Granbull-
This one of the first time I ever play a Pokémon game (I know it fan made but still) that I literally grind my whole team for hours just to beat some of the bosses. Also developing a better strategies while grinding.
ALWAYS DO RESEARCH ON EVERY POKÉMON YOUR OPPONENT HAS; WHETHER IF YOUR OPPONENT HAS CHOICE ITEMED POKÉMON OR IF THEY’RE RUNNING A SPECIFIC STRAGETY. ALWAYS RESEARCH
for me it takes a lot of the imersion out of the game when i have a lot of pokemon, i prefer having 6-10
Tl:DR: Don't catch audino, get the magnetic lure. --- Another thing i like to point out, at least is how I'm managing having a good variety of pokemon leveled up enough so I can switch teams around to face each gym etc... is the magnetic lure + audino areas. There's various zones where audino spawn wich is the regular pokemon that more exp yield in the game besides chansey and if you give magnetic lure to your lead pokemon only pokemon that you have not registered in the pokedex yet will spawn. I go to a patch where audino spawns, I catch every pokemon I haven't registered in my pokedex yet except audino so now every encounter is audino for the rest of the game as long i don't catch audino. Then I put my least leveled pokemon as alead with magnetic lure, the i give a pokemon I'm leveling still but can one shot the audino the lucky egg and a 3rd still leveling pokemon (usually the utility pokemon that would have a hard time one shoting the audino) gets the exp. share. You can level up pokemon pretyy quick with this method wich is very nice since sometimes you have that 2 or 3 pokemon that would be nice for the next gym but you haven't touched those in a while ans are 10 or 20 levels behind, or worse you just breed them, doing this combined with of course with the smart of use XP candies will pay off greatly. You get the magnetic lure early in the game in the Beryl Ward giving the guy that asks for money 6k if i recall properly but I'm not sure.
Not gonna lie the best strat for Florinia is setting up on Cottonee with a mightyena or some dark type
The only thing that makes this game so difficult is the multitude of added elements that force unnatural difficulty. If you remove just one element (field effects, health items for gym leaders) it's a hard game. With all of those things together it's a try-hard game, like rubberbanding in 2K MyCareer. It's really unfortunate, cause otherwise it would be a great game. (This works in reverse, too, though. For example, I beat one gym leader by accidentally transforming her field into my advantage and it didn't even feel like a real win. The only fun part to me is leveling up Pokemon through the sort of zombie-style resources-from-scratch nature that the game has with team building.)
I know this is a very late reply, but I disagree. A lot of the game is trying to be creative with your solutions. If you really think outside the box as to what will allow you to beat that super difficult battle, it becomes a game about trying to find clever solutions to problems rather than brute forcing.
You also say that it's forced unnatural difficulty- Yeah. And? It's a pokemon game. If you're looking for a game that doesn't have forced unnatural difficulty, pokemon fan games are not right. No matter what you make, the basic fact is that it is a pokemon game and that makes the difficulty feel artificial. Pokemon games are pretty much built to be easy, so the fact that Amethyst was able to make a game around the concept and not make the difficulty to artificial is pretty commendable. And when it comes down to it, most difficulty is artificial in games so again I don't see why that should be a complaint. It only rarely flips something you thought you knew on your head, and in most cases where it does the game will seed hints that it will happen.
Another thing is that the game lets you naturally choose your difficulty. Want to have a fairly easy time throughout most of the game? Choose torchic. The game really does let you make your own difficulty if you are willing to try.
The way you describe the game makes it sound like you would have the most fun in a game where you brute force and don't use strategy, in which case, again, I would suggest a different game.
@@bananatassium7009 But the finding creative ways of solution means nothing when the gym leaders are scripted to land flinches and have 2nd item slot for focus shashes. My game twice had an alolan sandslash that always went first despite trick room lol
The mechanics in game is shit the story is good tho
@@bananatassium7009 Blanziken isnt really OP Charmander, Cyndraquil are since the good moves it learns are after 6-7 th gym which naturally start using special typings like water/bug, steel/ghost, fairy/ghost
MOST IMPORTANTLY it cant use op moves like heatwave, Eruption,
@@Meteorknite 1. The game is not 'scripted' in any sense. Every battle is legal in the sense that with the ground rules that are given, everything makes sense. If a pokemon lands flinches or goes first unnaturally, it is always within the rules of the game. I have played the game through to the end three times and everything was always explainable through field effects.
2. Blaziken is the best for the combonation of early bulk up and speed boost. This basically allows you to freely set up a few bulk ups on just about any physical attacker, and sweep teams constantly. This combined with it's incredibly diverse and powerful movepool makes it just about objectively the best starter. Charmander is likely second/third best (possibly behind Froakie) because of dragon rage allowing you to annihilate early game, and Cyndaquil is probably solid as well, but in general, Blaziken is fantastic and putting it any lower than second place in starter rankings would feel decidedly biased or inexperienced, if you ask me. Just try playing the game with a Torchic as a starter and you'll see what I mean.
@@bananatassium7009 The flinches are still there searching on forums will even net you that its biased the least. Imagine a 5 times double slap that flinches you always that's what I encountered with noel
Also what about these alolan sandslash going first despite trick room ? Even without trick room they go first for same pokemon.
lord wallace - "don't settle for the first pokémon that shows up"
me, a nuzlocker - not an option
im trying to beat charlote and i am full level 70 i am positive i can one shot every thing if i have trick room... and i dont have porygon or whimscott(forgot tv-dont have sun stone) ima need guides pls
I come from the future and i am playing the allgen mod that gives gen 8-9 pokemon. You can still switch the difficulty and main enemy teams. I experienced both vanilla game and allgen mod gym teams and both are very hard. Several tries are needed and you don't get that many options at the start.
Also I'm basically on super challenge mode because i chose Meganium lool
I already chosen chimpchar thinking it was the best is that still ok
Charlotte is hard to beat even with those pokemon you stated, cuz she has pokemon with Hidden Power Grass as well asFighting and Ground Type Moves, and her level 70s Ninetales that has droubt and probs high IV and EV in Special Attack, knows Soler Beam, even Druddigen Types arnt safe
this game is actually so damned hard, I can't get over the 3rd machine vine thing (my brain suddenly farted and I forgot it's name)
Where is that AWESOME track from your video from??
Phoenix Wright Trials and Tribulations OST. Don't remember the exact tracks.
thanks!
thank you!
Is no one gonna talk about how he named his trohic the world
ZA WARUDO
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
help with shelly's gym? even my quickest pokemon can't move first
The Illumise has Prankster, so you can't outspeed it unless you use Prankster too. Some people use a Fake Out Espurr with Prankster itself.
I just waited for the rain to end.
As a veteran who beat Pokemon Reborn already and plan to play it again, I wanted to ask some questions.
Considering that I played episode 17 where the AI was improved, dificulty increased and money is way more scare, is pokemon hardcore still more dificult?
I tried to peek into movies introducing Hardcore, but was discourage when I saw a trainer using lv 75 legendary pokemon out of nowhere at the start of the game. (While I like fighing well balance and strong teams, I really dislike single pokemon OP bosses that you can defeat only with sturdy/flash strategy or pokemon with intimidate and a bunch of revives.
That's why I wanted to ask. Since I plan to move over 8 well prepared pokemon (that are already IV and EV trained) with good moves, would using such team on hardcore give me better experience? Or is hardcore filled with unfair OP bosses like super high legendaries and nothing more? Is it better to wait for episode 18 for a replay or simple play episode 17 again? Or is hardcore more dificult while not relying so heavy on OP bosses out of nowhere and won't throw in pokemon that story-wise would make no sense for trainers using them?
Ok I'm really late in seeing this but Hardcore has been discontinued as far as I know so it only covers up to Episode 16. It has optional super bosses but in general it's pretty lore friendly and most of the difficulty comes from restrictions like not being able to use items in battle and amped up enemy teams . I'd recommend it
I actually went for Pokemon Reborn Redux instead, and I must say, it's really chalenging.
I used mod for shared box to transfer my breeded/EV trained team over (after lowering their levels with common candy), and it still kept dificulty spiced up early on (and very challenging later in the game).
With not only bosses, but also regular trainers having way stronger teams and new strategies, it become a very fun run (and since Redux doesn't allow pokemon to level up over their badge cap, I don't need to worry about it). Also, with stronger and more competitive trainers, my team level up fast, so no need for grinding, so that's nice too.
As for the party system, I found it useful only to use HM/TM like rock smash, surf, dive and so on. Training more than one team would be just too overwhelming.
My team is torterra, unfezzant, delcatty, alolan sandslash, arcanine, & Buizel..... im screwed facing the ice gym leader. Got no revives and the poke mart is off-limits since it teleported above the F-ing gym! This game is so difficult.
where do i find the item finder
I picked a froakie as my starter its a protean timid one is that a good starter to pick?
Yeah
You *really* should backtrack. It’s how you find the Itemfinder early. ^_^
(as of E19, at least)
Florinia was by far the easiest gym leader for me since I beat her whole team with a Swarm Kricketune
I set up with Focus Energy then spammed Fury Cutter. The Maractus whittled Kricketune’s health down , which activated Swarm. After that Maractus, Kricketune OHKOed every single one of her mons
Oh, I used Toxic Spikes Trubbish. Badly poisoned with no Full Heals meant even the biggest and bulkiest eventually died.
is greninja an ok starter bc i picked that
When I first played, I was struggling with the Pulse-Tangrowth, Shedinja saved my ass
I know the comment is old but fuck pulse tangrowth is the definition of annoying
@@Ashelybee don't know if anything has changed but from memory, ekans can be useful against it
Where do u find move relearned key to house I REALLY need it
Iirc its somewhere in the underground railnet but in an area you can't access until around the 6th badge. I don't remember exactly
Legit the hardest Pokémon game I have ever played. I seriously have around 30 Pokémon trained up to go up against different teams (i.e. Prankster Murkrow with Perish Song does wonders with a lot of the single Pokémon battle events. I have a few terrain changers, several tanks, couple weather changers, a dozen different sweepers, etc...). Mining in the beginning is a life saver. Since you can't buy revives (unless you're willing to spend 5000 each for a candy item that revives fallen Pokémon), I tend to save before each mining rock for revives. Gym battles are ferocious. They tend to be near your level cap and are wicked fast (I have a Jolteon with a Timid nature and like, 28 EV in speed and it gets outsped), so paying attention to nature, IV's, and EV's are almost a must. It's a very difficult game, and yet you can add to that difficulty with their Nuzlocke mode. Very well designed and well-made fan game.
so is court in session
Me who had no idea that torchic was the best starter and only chose it because its shiny was cool
