Try not having half you team be super weak to ghost.

>>30165088
fucking hell, but I love fighting types...

I will lose online tournaments won't I?

>>30165037
bring Muk
he's the new hotness

>>30165273
I need a Muk first...fuck

>weak to ghost.

>>30165296
lemme just clarify for you,
Monotype is a bad idea unless you have over-leveling in mind
because if you face something that resists/nullifies your type, you're pretty fucking dead

>>30165231
You'll lose tournaments because you haven't gotten past the fucking ghost trial

>immune to normal, fighting, and dragon

fucking hell, not only is my poliwrath water and fighting, my salazzle is part dragon, my gumshoe is water, my primeape is fighting, and my machoke is fighting. It's like I fucking set myself up for failure on this one.

Apparently this fucker's weakness is ghost and steel. I need to go find a new pokemon...

>>30165037
not getting a alolan muk

>>30165349
>Monotype

I assume that means that's it's bad to try to pretend to be a gym leader and have all of the same type in your squad.

>>30165457
Yes
having coverage and cohesion in your team makes everything less of a chore
that's why bringing 6 of the same type is literally asking for death

>>30165495
well fuck me it looks like I just made this game my own version of hard

My Monodark is doing fine.
Furcoat Persian took most of Hala's hits, and the flinches from Bite worked wonders.

Just cover your weaknesses with double types.
>>30165037
Get a Scrappy Pangoro, Bullet Punch + whatever you want to hit Haunter with.

>>30165429
>>30165296
>>30165273
Unless you want type advantage and overleveling, bring a good A-grimer with black Sludge.
Knock Off will be your friend and Payback your lover.

>>30165037
I almost got my ass handed to me with Mustang because it switched to Shadow Claw once my defense went up by a lot and got lucky crits.

The AI in these games is the best so far.

>>30165495
Unless it's water

>>30165037
why do you have 4 fighting types

you have horrible team composition

Mimikyu is just really good

>>30165661
Heavy Slam makes it easy.

>>30165586
In order to have that big boy, your pancham needs to level up with a dark type in your party, which I have none

>>30165616
I did it on purpose for wanting to pretend like I am a fighting gym leader for endgame online battles

>>30165681
Mudsdale is a fucking beast and I hate that I love it.

>>30165683
...In my circumstances, that detail flew over my head.

>>30165683
>can get a grimer at the very start of the game
I can understand monotype but there's literally no need to cripple yourself when it comes to evolution

>>30165790
WANT TO KNOW THE FUNNY PART? I DIDN'T SEE ONE AND I WANTED ONE

>>30165811
it's in the town that's literally down the road from your house
where you catch magnemite, meowth, pichu, etc...

>>30165811
id you're not even going to explore the game to try and look for Pokemon, why bother? Pokemon School grass patch, a very large patch of grass that is actually fucking mandatory for you to walk through

>>30165842
>>30165811
I had to search for one.
Magnemites, ratatas and Meowths where clogging every encounter.
But any of those work for this purpose.

>>30165873
Meowth does. It's monodark.

>>30165102
Those are FAIRY weak

>>30165873
bringing pure dark pokemon against Mimikyu is not a good idea
it's part Fairy as well as Ghost
that's why Grimer will rape it, being Poison/Dark

>>30165842
>>30165868
Literally walked through that area and I found no grimers

Ironic enough, people say they have problems finding crabrawlers and I have 3 of them, and people also say they have problems finding female salazies to evolve into salazzles, which I never ran into any males while catching 4 of those things.

That's just my fucking luck.

>>30165911
MONODARK RUN.
And yes, it was for all intents and purposes beyond the challenge, a stupid idea.

And it doesn't rape it. Even then is a struggle, specially when the fucker Mimics Minimize.

>>30165586
show us all your pokemon since you are monodark. Show team pls

>>30165971
then don't use Mimimize
lay on the hurt with Curse/Poison Jab and abuse potions when going down health

>>30165989
Sure, let me take pics.

20% apperance rate with like 3 or 4 other things there. not like it's rare or anything, but I guess I can understand not wanting to search around early game grass patches I still think you'r a baddie though , go get your baby boi Grimmer

>check minimize

>bulbapedia: Minimize raises the user's evasion stat by one stage and replaces the user's regular image with a tiny, generic image until the user faints or is switched out, or the battle ends.

FUCKING KEK

so that fucker even copies that

holy shit that is hilarious. I hate how this fuck also has that move "play nice" or whatever that move is called. Anyone remember exactly what it's called? Why the fuck is that move so strong?

>>30166076
Play ROUGH.
There is nothing nice in that.

>>30166076
play rough. 90 power 90 hit fairy type physical attack

>>30166101
there it fucking is

That shit is the fucking reason that I got so assraped.

Let's check what fucking google says about this move.

>>30165102
you forgot pancham and you meant weak to fairy

>>30165308
you cant cath mimikyu until the end of the tial

Play rough:

Play Rough inflicts damage and has a 10% chance of lowering the target's Attack stat by one stage. Is a damage-dealing Fairy-type move introduced in Generation VI.

>>30166158
>has never heard of the concept of trading

>>30165037
Mimikyu was the only totem I had genuine struggle with.

You're not alone OP.

>four of six pokemon are from previous generations

There's your problem. Way to completely remove any sense of wonder, discovery, or exploration from the games by sticking with your shitty bros.

Question.

Btw, my 3ds is charging right now so that's why I'm not playing, but remember that I said I have a gumshoe that knows odorsleuth. Since this shit is ghost/fairy, will that move make my fighting pokemon's moves able to hit the fuck? Won't that give me a chance?

>>30165308
you can't catch mimikyu until you beat that totem

>>30165410

Yeah, that's because I'm one of those 90s fucks who think that first gen is the only thing I ever need in any game. I'll be 83 years old still using gen 1 fucks when pokemon has then turned into virtual reality 3D bullshit

>>30166273
exactly

who the fuck here is saying gumshoe is water? Gumshoe is a "normal" politician.

salazzle can learn dragon moves

>>30166233
no? Fairy type resists Fighting
Just use a Steel or Ghost type against Mimikyu and it will die REALLY fast

>>30166311
Detective he isn't a politician. Idiot must be confusing egg groups.

>>30166386
doesn't get STAB so it's best just to tox than to actually fight a Dragon type head on
basically suicide to hit a Drampa expecting to OHKO it

>>30166390
Or hell any sort of special attacker

>>30166390
I regret puttin my gastly away early in the game

>>30166390
0.5x is better than 0, so it is a better chance.
A meager one, but a chance.

>>30166386
what? it learns dragon rage and dragon pulse. why aren't you using flame burst or some other stab? it has a quad resistance to fairy too

>>30166453
it's better to actually use a mon designed to kick its ass though, than to struggle with one that isn't

>>30165037
Just use the fucking FREE Ash-Greninja from the demo. Hes faster than Mimikyu and can 2 hit him once Sub is gone.

>>30166481
True, but he wants to use his pokémon.
>>30166533
If you are going to use it, then just fuck up a summon and then fuck Mimikyu with Boosted Water Shuriken.

>>30165989
>>30166002
Starting with the "worst".
Ash-Greninja.
He is here because the 6th slot had to be filled until I get a Sandile, and I don't want to carry every shitmon I capture with me till the next pokécenter.
It's level went up by one when hunting for good Pancham. Litmuz the grimer had been critically hit to 0 and I was really fucking bored.

After a few chains, because I'm not good at planning and had no way to see if the Pancham had the ability I wanted, Greninja got a level and I got Skumancho the Pancham, now Pangoro, as shown here. >>30165586

This is Marauder, the "first" catch for the team.
There were some ratatas before, but this one had a good enough nature and ability to be on the top percentage of Rattata.

I almost dropped him after not evolving over level 26. Then I realized I was being retarded and just leveled it up at night.

Fucking hell

Guys, why didn't you tell me to go all the way north of the island where mimikyu is. There is a recycling center where lvl 25 grimer is. Fucking kek.

>>30167063
and now thanks to the grimer being in my party, I have a pangoro.

I forgot to mention, it was thanks to Marauder's valiant sacrifice that the disguise was busted at the first turn.

The "second" catch for the team was Smugler, the Pick-up/Fur Coat Alolan Garfielf.
This fluffy motherfucket survived an All-Out Pummeling from Hala's Crabrawler after evolving the fight before. It is being trained as a special attacker now.

>>30167283
nice shit senpai

>>30165037

Magneton kicked the shit out of him and his ally for me. He needed to be revived once, but overall a bro-tier performance. Thunder Wave, resisting attacks and Flash Cannon ftw.

Litmuz, the still-grimer.
Slow and deadly as molasses on Boston,1919.
Minimize and poison fang coupled with poison touch guarantee at least the whittling down of foes.
His Knock Out also took care of that pesky Lum Berry, and pay back took a good chunk of Mimikyu's HP. Play Rough didn't relent though, and he eventually went down.

Mimikyu fucked up my grimer and my giant bullet punching bear

what now

Since it's being discussed; is a mono poison team at all viable this gen?

>>30168325
>Toxapex

>Salazzle

Yeah, you can make it work.

>>30168545
Is Ariados better than Scoliopede though?

>>30168638
Doubt it, you can even get speed boost.
But Ariados came to mind first, so I typed ariados.

>>30168766
Alright. Would Victreebel be good enough to round out a poison team? I kinda don't want to go with Muk since that'd cause the team to be too phys focused.

>>30168880
If you can get it with Chlorophyll, sure.

>>30166228
Same here, only battle I actually lost so far. I'm playing blind though and I had no idea what it's other type was or any of that, I had never even seen it before. It just steamrolled my team with play rough while haunter sucker punched and hypnotized everyone without missing. Second try through I put a bit more strategy into it and won without too much trouble.

>>30167825
Grimer, Poison Gas and Black Sludge carried me so hard
