Holy shit that one shroomish is a goated wild catch

This is the correct N team for that fight Zorua Level 15 Type = Dark Resistances = Ghost and Dark Weaknesses = Fighting and Bug Immunities = psychic Ability = Illusion Item = Oran Berry Moves = Snarl, Fury Swipes, U-Turn, Grass Knot Tympole Level 13 Type = Water Resistances = Steel, Fire, Ice, and Water Weaknesses = Grass and Electric Immunities = None Ability = Hydration Item = no item Moves = BubbleBeam, Echoed Voice, Acid, Mud Shot Timburr Level 13 Type = Fighting Resistances = Rock, Bug, and Dark Weaknesses = Flying and psychic Immunities = None Ability = Guts Item: no item Moves = Low Kick, Rock Throw, Chip Away, Bide Pidove Level 13 Type = Normal/Flying Resistances = Bug and Grass Weaknesses = Rock, Electric, and Ice Immunities = Ground and Ghost Ability: Super Luck Item: no item Moves: Quick Attack, Razor Wind, Air Cutter, Tailwind

These NPC teams have fixed shinies. You will eventually see things like shiny Latios or Latias at some point if I'm not mistaken. Good fun

I strongly disagree with this point. Teambuilding is fundamental to any Pokemon game and should be a major factor in the game's decision-making. It's why the devs have gone through and reworked every single NPC trainer to encourage proper team building.

Cheren Route 10 if you pick tepig

Bianca Route 8 if you pick Tepig

They recently made a change to the way the AI works which significantly negatively impacts that particular variation, Currently searching for a good way to deal with it

How often do automatic wipes happen? and when was the last one?

Saffron is one of the worst gyms in the game for this strategy where rng cases like this can occur. if you are willing to use 2 x items on 1/5 variations you can try this

Barry's Team at Route Pokemon League (If you picked Piplup as a Starter) <- Need to fix this in the guide as it says 203

Barry's Team at Pastoria City (If you picked Piplup as a Starter) Barry's Team at Canalave City (If you picked Piplup as a Starter) Will do the rest when I get round to finishing the alt

This isn’t even true. Npc pokemon ivs and ev scale throughout the game. the first starter battle for example is 0 ivs and 0 evs.

Or using a female of the same species line, so if you have a male rapidash, a female rapidash or ponyta would also work. can often be much cheaper as well

Wasnt specific to Zekrom, just about the potential for Uber Mons. Other Ubers do have full walking sprites, correct? Why not make them obtainable but not useable then? Place them as a reward behind 100 max level raid completions (for example) and make them ignore you just like mons above level cap do in PvE and ban it in PVP. Satisfies both the ownership problem and the immense effort of obtaining while maintaining the balance in both aspects.

Would it ever be possible to allow pokemon like this as follower sprite only but not usable in any battles? maintaining the balance of both pvp and pve but still allowing players to show them off or use them for outfit combos.

I will be updating the route a little with some changes soon. Thanks to Hi_im_rainer and some self testing, I've got some optimisations. These should push this to 33/34 gyms consistently. I need some time to write it up though. Will be dropping a video guide on it as well SoonTM

You're going to need modest I'm afraid. The 10% damage increase is pretty essential.

i hope not

For those who use this guide and want to do e4 into gym run, here is the route I use https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTMqIAhdA68L3PqAGTsotVIdElOtLDceC4Asl9_Kspog2g8SK-tc17F8GEmBnWRhU6Q6192_S3BQeaX/pub 100% rate of getting 30 gyms, 31 on good runs

Serves no purpose in mmo, its a remnant from the base game where you had the rebattle the gym leaders in kanto 2 after collecting their phone numbers.

do you just read what rache says and then write a post claiming it as your own opinion or something

Oof. i hoped this wouldnt be the case
