My Tepig had Blaze, I wonder what it's new ability is
. I switched it out though.
On to the 2nd gym
LV 23 Magby w/ Flame Body
Lv 24 Timburr w/ No Guard equipped with Blackbelt
LV 23 Solosis w/ Magic Guard H/Leftovers
LV 20 Buizel w/ Moxie! holding Razor Fang
LV 24 Nuzleaf w/Moxie
LV 18 Throh w/ Sheer Force (filler)
Ok first of all, that Chansey looked suspicious, so I burned it with Magby before OHKOing it with Low Sweep from my Timburr. Since it did Counter I assume I was right in suspecting it was sash'd
Too bad Linoone Crit'd me with a headbutt and took out my Timburr
, so I had to rely on Magby burning him and Embering him to death
Herdier was scary, but my Solosis is a tank so I Charmed him down and slowly took him out.
But then Clefable, boy oh boy Clefable. Since I have no revives, and try to do as little grinding as possible, this thing was tough without my Timburr. He Cosmic Power'd up when I sent in Nuzleaf, so I knew what was coming. Stored Power ownage
. Nuzleaf done in and couldn't do any damage. I prayed it didn't have Magic Guard, and it didn't! The burn from Magby was doing damage! Now all I had to do was survive. Too bad another crit with stored power killed my Magby. All I had left was a filler LV 18 Throh. It barely lived the stored power, and the Seismic Toss combined with burn took it out for the KO! Now I'm thinking of adding Throh to my team in place of my newly evolved Gurdurr, or taking out both Nuzleaf and Gurdurr for a Breloom since it's catchable in the next area, while adding a Murkrow to my team. Still undecided, but this hack is definitely fun, especially when I'm not grinding or using my normal OP Pokes
Yes, yes...God, I love these updates...Um, yeah, sorry about that...I had lost myself for a second. Enjoy this wall of text.
Ahem...So, your Tepig had Blaze...Man, that's weak. It second ability was Own Tempo and once it evolved all the way to Emboar it woulda gotten Huge Power...It's a damn shame you didn't get that one.
Soooooo, anyways, I see that you added a few new Pokemon to your team, since the last time I've seen them.
Magby, Solosis, Timburr, Buizel, Nuzleaf and Throh. What happened, you put your Tepig up? Why do everybody always have to put their starter Pokemon up? I don't understand that...At all.
I start with my two-cent on your battle with Lenora.
Damn, you wasn't lying, I know hard Lenora can be on Yin Black. Her Yin Black party's harder her Yang White, if you asked me. I was surprised to see you say that her Herdier was scary, when I was battling Lenora, her hardest was Clefable and Linoone, and I guess Chansey, if you don't have a Pokemon with a lot of attack power.
Okay, so when I was battling her....and since I really didn't any strong Pokemon at the time, I had to rely on a Pokemon that could learn Low Sweep; sorta how you used Throh, I used a Sawk (Around lv 18) You know how Low Sweep always lowers the foe's speed, everytime that happens, Linonne's new ability; Defiant kicks in and 1-ups its Attack stats...After that, Headbutt after Headbutt and if my poke somehow survive the attack...it'll finish me off with Aerial Ace...
The problem with Chansey was the Focus Sash it holds; a Pokemon can usually knock it out with high attack powered move, but since the Focus Sash it holds keeps it from fainting from one attack, it's nearly impossible to do that; well without a status inducing move that deals additional damage to the foes. And you pretty much already explained why Clefable's so difficult to defeat Cosmic Power + Stored Power = Ownage
Here's my opinion on each of your pokes, respectively. Starting with Nuzleaf, since its obviously your strongest poke, for right now.
Nuzleaf: Like I said before, I know about Nuzleaf(s) in this mod. I personally trained one. It served me well and I'm sure it'll also serve you too. Anyways, if I was you, I'll probably make it evolve once it reach level 30 or something...I dunno, low-level stone Pokemon just doesn't fell right to me.
Solosis: The cute little green blob Pokemon. It's super slow, but make up in for having incredibly high sp. atk stat. You could always give it Trick Room once you reach...Uhh, what's the name of that city where the electric gym reside...Uh, I forget, anyways you could do that or you could buy Thunder Wave from the Pokemon Center in that city and teach it to it.
Buizel: Yet another Pokemon I can relate in training once before; as it can be seen fighting in the vid I uploaded in the main page. Once it evolve into Floatzel, it'll become part Fighting and learn a few Fighting Type moves. Buizel also learns a few moves before evolving, like Bubblebeam and learning Aqua Jet much earlier.
Timburr: Hm, this Pokemon...Hmm, I don't have much say about this one on account that I don't know that much about it; never trained one before. Not saying anything wrong with it...Other than that, I slightly up'ed it's defense stat and HP. I'm sorry to see that it wasn't able to help you that much in the battle against Lenora.
Throh: Yeah, Throh's pretty good. I remember catching a Sawk and using it to take out Lenora. It put up after the fight, however, I already had a plan team and Sawk just didn't fit in the rotation. Anyways, if you really are planning on keeping Throh; which I think you should, I think you should know that it learns a few new attacks like Submission. If I can recall, I think I up'ed its HP and defensive stats. But also, I saw you mention Breloom too...I kinda like Breloom better than both.
Magby: Magby's a little fireball, very high sp. atk and alright sp. def stat. I've also trained it before too, though, it's a Magmortar now. Speaking of that, you said that your Magmar isn't reacting to the Fire Stone. Are you sure? I just test it on my rom and it still can evolve. Are you giving it to it from the bag or are you letting it hold it, while leveling up with it? You're suppose to give it to from da bag.
Anyways, keep me updated, I always love to hear what you’ve been up to.
