The Morimoto Battle Guide


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

If you see any graphical issues with the pictures, then try to refresh the guide and the pictures should be restored. However, if the pictures still do not upload correctly, then please notify me and I can see what I can do.

 

The information stated in this section is mostly the same as the Kanto, Hoenn, SinnohUnova, and Cynthia guides (except for the speed stat. Since you can infer what speed stat most pokemon are, ie: Walrein looks a bit slow or Jolteon looks a bit fast). Thank you RedactedColour for writing up the KantoHoenn, and Sinnoh Gym Guides!

How the Data Was Collected

         Most people are just here for the data, so I'm putting the parts that are less important into spoilers.

 

Fighters

         "How did you fight Morimoto?" "What's the best team for the Morimoto?" "Is this a good Pokémon to use?" This is the team I used. Use your knowledge of basic match ups to decide who to throw into a fight.

Morimoto

         Morimoto has five separate teams that he may draw from. I battled Morimoto once a day to find out what team was present. I tried battling at the same time every day or starting with the same Pokemon only to find that the teams changed despite this. Morimoto do not use the same teams depending on the day of the week. However, RedactedColour has told me, if I don't defeat one team on a certain day, that same team will reappear on the second or third day.

         With all that said, allow me to introduce the format for Morimoto

 

Species (Level #)

Models provided by Bulbapedia

Ability: ---

Item: ---

Damage based on health or deals a fixed amount, Damage based on Attack, Damage based on Special Attack, Non-damaging move

Moves in bold hit multiple Pokémon

 

         "How do I use this guide?"

        The teams are organized based on the pokemon level order from highest to lowest. For instance, Morimoto's first team has Simipour, Machamp, and Exeggutor. Morimoto differs from all the gym leaders because he opens up with a random pokemon from the set (all Morimoto battles are single battles at the time of making this guide). This does not mean he'll throw in Machamp after his first Pokemon has been defeated.

         Look at the Morimoto set you're battling. Look for the team that has some similar Pokemon. The teams are placed in collapsible spoilers so that the guide will load faster and mobile users can scroll easier.

         If you can fill in any information that's missing from this guide, please inform me. Instructions on how best to help me are listed below in the "Additional Information" section. Thank you.

Most of this introduction and additional information was written by @RedactedColour, so thank you for the awesome guide formatting. I hope that this guide can be of assistance for you. Don't forget to check out the Kanto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh Gym Guides if you haven't already, as well as my Unova Gym Guide.

 

Morimoto Team Tips:

Spoiler

1. It may be helpful to lead with a Hazard setter so you can have the field advantage (ie: leading with something that can throw Stealth Rocks or Spikes to your opponent's side).

2. Thanks to Volcarona's unique Fire/Bug typing, it has the ability to go one on one with Mew if you Quiver Dance 1 or 2 times. I will give a generic Volcarona set in this spoiler in case you would like to pursue this strategy:

Spoiler

Volcarona (Level 100)

ZXiAseR.png

Nature: Modest (+ Sp Attack, - Attack); Timid (+ Speed, - Attack)

IVs: +25 HP/-- Attack/+25 Def/30-31 Sp Atk/+25 Sp Def/31 Speed

EVs: 6 HP/252 Sp Attack/252 Speed

Ability: Flame Body

Item: Life Orb

Fiery Dance, Bug Buzz, Giga Drain, Quiver Dance

3. A Skill Link Cloyster is useful for breaking Focus Sash Pokemon. I can give the details on a generic Cloyster set in this spoiler:

Spoiler

Cloyster (Level 100)

HoZJ1R1.png

Nature: Adamant (+ Attack, - Sp Attack); Jolly (+ Speed, - Sp Attack)

IVs: +25 HP/30-31 Attack/+25 Def/-- Sp Atk/+25 Sp Def/31 Speed

EVs: 6 HP/252 Attack/252 Speed

Ability: Skill Link

Item: White Herb/Focus Sash/Quick Claw/NeverMeltIce

Shell Smash, Icicle Spear, Rock Blast, Ice Shard

4. A well rounded fast Starmie may be of assistance. Let's use both of my Starmies as examples (these two Starmies cover each other's blind spots)

5. A good Fighting Type for the Normal Type Pokemon. I have a list of Fighting pokemon that can fight Morimoto semi comfortably and pokemon that are more of a risk, but can deal damage under the right circumstances:

I hope these tips could be of assistance. Good luck!

 

Morimoto/Cynthia Team Tips (Credit to @DragoTamer, I am using his exact statements to me):

Spoiler

Archeops (Level 100)

teSvUqW.png

Nature: Jolly (+Speed, -Special Attack)

IVs: 29/31/28/14/28/31

EVs: 6 HP. 252 Attack. 252 Speed. 

Ability: Defeatist

Item: Wide Lens

Rock Slide, Stealth Rock, U-Turn, Tailwind

 

Krookodile (Level 100)

y0aBwWU.png

Nature: Adamant (+Attack, -Special Attack)

IVs: 25/31/31/15/25/31

EVs: 6 HP, 252 Attack, 252 Speed

Ability: Moxie

Item: Life Orb

Earthquake, Crunch, Aerial AceDragon Claw

**When fighting Cynthia, use EQ on Garchomp. It has Rough skin. Using Dragon Claw might finish you off**

 

Starmie (Level 100)

XZkwLxn.png

Nature: Timid (+Speed, -Attack) 

[Modest (+Special Attack, -Attack) is most likely better. It outspeeds basically everything anyway and can take hits from those it doesn't]

IVs: 31/10/31/31/31/31

EVs: 6 HP, 252 Special Attack, 252 Speed

Ability: Natural Cure

Item: Mystic Water

Thunderbolt, Psyshock, Ice Beam, Surf

 

Volcarona (Level 100)

kOiu39F.png

Nature: Modest (+Special Attack, -Attack)

IVs: 24/14/22/31/21/31

EVs: 6 HP, 252 Special Attack, 252 Speed

Ability: Flame Body

Item: Leftovers

Fiery Dance, Bug Buzz, Giga Drain, Quiver Dance [I don't really use Giga Drain]

 

Archeops is always the lead. Always start with stealth rocks. There's no point in keeping Archeops around really. After setting stealth rocks, use rock slide spam. Use U-turn if Morimoto starts with Simisage. It should OHKO it. If it doesn't, you probably want to equip Life Orb or an insect boosting item. When you take out Simisage, Morimoto will send out Jolteon. You should send out Starmie. Then swap to Krookodile immediately so thunderbolt won't have any effect. Never have Krookodile face Gengar or Simipour because it will be outsped and taken out immediately. Starmie outspeeds Gengar and can take it out. I am not entirely sure if Modest Starmie outspeeds Gengar, but I can test that with a level 100 Modest Starmie I borrow from someone and run the speed calcs. Ever since I found out that Altaria is special defense boosted, it's hard to say that a Pokémon is either special attack/attack boosted or speed boosted. 

 

When fighting Cynthia, Volcarona's fiery dance will take out Lucario in one move. If you have Volcarona fight Roserade, it can set up Quiver Dance easily then sweep her team. Especially if it's a scarf Roserade. I put Leftovers on Volcarona for this purpose to heal. Volcarona is just a fourth I use, but you don't really need it. Krookodile, Starmie, and Archeops lead seems to do pretty well at clearing them. The higher the IVs the better of course.

Additional Information

         Do I get more money for fighting one team as opposed to another?

         No. All Morimoto battles will give the exact same amount of PokéYen regardless of which of their teams you defeat.

 

         What's the difference between a Pokémon with ??? for their item or ability as opposed to -- or an actual item or ability?

         -- means that the Pokémon doesn't have an item. A Pokémon with ??? for its Ability, item, or move has an unknown Ability, item, or move.

 

         Why do the Hidden Powers have (Type?) after them?

         When Bob Ross transforms, he doesn't copy the opponent's hidden power. As such, I can't say for certain that an opponent's Hidden Power is a specific type. I can only say what it most likely is based on which of my Pokémon it's super effective against.

 

Hidden Power move bio: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Hidden_Power_(move)

 

         Why do some of the Morimoto sets have different coloured names?

         Grey means I haven't documented that team yet. Red means I don't have the items recorded. Blue means I have the items recorded. Green means I have the moves and items recorded. Black means I have the moves, items, and abilities recorded. My goal is to document everything on the first try, so you may see Black much more often.

 

         You've made a mistake. (Pokémon) can't learn (move).

         Some Pokémon have moves that they shouldn't be able to learn according to their Gen 7 learnset on Bulbapedia. If I have a move listed it is because I've seen it or Bob Ross has copied it.

 

         You've made a grammatical or spelling error.

         Thank you. Please tell me where it is so that I can fix it.

 

         Can't you just assume that a Pokémon has the same speed, Ability, or move across different teams for the same leader?

         I have observed that different teams from the same leader may have slightly different movesets, items, & abilities even if they have the same Pokémon.

 

         How long did it take to make this guide?

         I made this guide on October 3rd, 2019. This guide was completed on Ocber 6th, 2019. It took me 3 days to complete the guide.

 

         Recommended Content?

         Feel free to check out the Kanto, Hoenn, and Unova Gym Guides.

 

         What inspired you to make this?

         That is a good question, I love to do Gym Runs in game as a way to make some revenue. Although, rich players in game laugh at my in game salary, it is enough to get me by. I've been doing gym runs for 1-2 years, so I am use to most of the tricks that these gyms have to offer. I originally posted commentaries of me doing a gym run in Kanto, Hoenn, and Unova on the Mayor Bestfriends YouTube channel. Recently, I saw a player by the name of RedactedColour and he made a coherent Kanto Gym guide. I was impressed by his work and when there are pieces of information missing or incorrect, then I would PM him (thank you RedactedColour for listing me in the Contributors section). Then, he made a Hoenn Gym Guide and this was when I wanted to take a bigger role in helping him construct the guide in its beta stages. As you can imagine, RedactedColour's PM Box was constantly lighting up on the forums. At the time that the Hoenn Gym Guide was almost done, I saw RedactedColour's impressive Kanto Elite Four Guide. As a person who enjoyed Gym Runs, I PMed RedactedColour asking permission to use his guide template for a Unova Gym Guide. Once he gave the approval, then there was one last pokemon that did not have its Ability Traced yet. It was Juan 2's Starmie, so I got to work and once I Traced that Analytic ability, then I PMed RedactedColour the information and I started working on this Unova Gym Guide. Once the Unova Gym Guide was completed, the next logical step would be to cover the Morimoto battles.

 

         If you have all the tools you need then why post the guide before it's completed?

         It's easier to update as I go along than to keep all the information to myself and then post it.

 

         I want to help. What can I do?

         Take a screenshot of an enemy Pokémon using a specific move or presenting a certain ability and send it to me. I'll add your name as a contributor at the top of the guide.

 

         Do you still play PokéMMO?

         My in game name is Bestfriends.

 

         I would like to contact you. How do I reach you?

         Feel free to send me mail in game, PM me on forums, or message me on Discord.

Fought against Morimoto just now and encountered the line up in Morimoto 1.

As far as what I could verify it was the same as what's on the list except that the Machamp had Drain Punch. I didn't get to see it use any other move, so idk which move it replaced.

Thought I would share.

Thank you for calling this to my attention. It took me a bit to roll on the Morimoto 1 Set, but I double checked Machamp's movepool to see what was replaced. Turns out the only move that was replaced on Machamp was Brick Break. Brick Break was replaced with Drain Punch, however the ability and item were the exact same.
