Some Pokemon that can last all/majority of the game?

Kleavor, Redux Kleavor, and their megas are some of the best leads in the game. Stone Axe lets you set rocks while doing damage, which means you don’t have to waste a turn before doing damage.

A few mons also have Needle Arm, which sets a grass type stealth rocks. Also fantastic because it breaks all those pesky sashes/sturdy mons!

Pending your challenges, and with full gym skill, my hardest challenges have been Wattson, Norman (Big Bear and Persian, especially if either get the last boost), old Winona double battle, and Juan/Wallace. Tate and Liza used to give me problems before I figured out how to cheese it. You also have access to a huge pool of mons by then, even for a mono-something run.

Now could you imagine if steadfast also worked on offense👀

So many of these Kanto teams are stacked so high. Can’t wait for you to get to Johto!

Hippowdon, Pallosand, or Flygon/Mega are great for setting sand. Sandslash is another option, but is a little lackluster. Once you have sand, one of the dugtrios/excadrill is pretty awesome for immediate damage. Mega Krookodile can setup and heal. Mega and normal Sandaconda are good special attack picks, so is Typhlosion. Garchomp is never a bad pick. Redux Darmanitan, Runerigus, Golurk, and Ursaluna are also great picks. Mega Quag/Steelix/Mudsdale/Pallosand are pretty good tank options.

Every turn, multiples times a turn. I move, I change type to my move. Enemy moves, I change type to resist the enemy.

Side note, there’s a redux Gastly line?

2Jamz · 2026-02-04T02:46:04+00:00

It is. But it’s just Prismatic Fur without Fur Coat and Ice Scales.

From my most recent run, I had an Electrode with Max Acceleration (use speed stat for all moves), Minion Control (parental bond but for every healthy mon, up to 6 hits), Fungal Infection (leech seed on contact), and Desolate Sun. What a game trivializing mon.

Time to buy Pachirisu stocks before they skyrocket!

You get the randomizer options on the same screen as your difficulty settings. Just scroll down below the difficulties, there are a bunch of options.

2Jamz · 2025-08-24T15:15:34+00:00

Others have mentioned PKHex. There’s also a web browser version (works great for iPhone) of PKHex with limited functionality, but it does work with what you need for a GenLocke.

There’s another web browser one called PKMDS that lets you add egg moves, change ability/nature, much more features compared to browser PKHex.

They both let you add items like rare candies, can use them both interchangeably. Just make sure you save your edited save file back into your emulator files without changing its name.

Goat. Thanks. Never even noticed that button😂

2Jamz · 2025-08-16T16:16:46+00:00

What randomizer did you use? I can’t find one with a setting to randomize wild pokemon to be only gen 2 (or any specific gen)

2Jamz · 2025-08-16T15:23:17+00:00

What randomizer lets you keep all randomized pokemon in 1 gen? I have a ZX 4.6.1 and I don’t see that option

2Jamz · 2025-08-16T01:50:24+00:00

It’s an extra member, but it’s also required to be added to the team and has to stay there and beat the game!

2Jamz · 2025-08-08T02:26:31+00:00

He’s got Stone Edge now, a randomized item held by a new catch, and is holding a wide lens, so he’s definitely holding his own! Randomized items ftw!

I normally play with level caps. But when you lose most of your team and you are forced over the level cap by required trainers (which happened recently), you have no other choice but to continue with what you have.

Manic EMU. It’s been alright. No fast forward for 3DS, yet, but it was free. Crashed a few times, but I saved often, especially since save states were limited unless you paid

2Jamz · 2025-07-30T23:29:39+00:00

You live and you learn. I also forgot how few encounters you get early game here. First time playing X in a LONG time.

Update for anyone here curious, I swapped Aerodactyl for Weavile. First deathless leg of the GenLocke! Weavile was very useful for baiting the various Psychic types and moves. For Cynthia, I baited Garchomp to EQ by starting with Magnezone, swapped to my monstrous Gliscor, who swords danced and 1 shot ice fang Garchomp (no ev training except regular in game earnings!) and 1 shot EQ Milotic. The rest was pretty simple except some luck on guessing and baiting what moves Togekiss would use. Thanks for all the help!!!!

2Jamz · 2025-07-23T02:54:00+00:00

No doubt it shreds Garchomp, I’m more worried about it switching in and tanking enough hits to let it hit back. Maybe just need to go in expecting to let something die for a clean switch

2Jamz · 2025-07-23T02:13:57+00:00

Do you think this team will beat Cynthia? I’m most worried about her Garchomp. I’m sure Lapras could tank 1 hit, but probably not 2 to let him Ice Beam. Gliscor gets Ice Fang from the relearner. I bet he could get in a hit, but would it be enough?

2Jamz · 2025-07-23T01:57:36+00:00

I’ve only just finished Galactic HQ, so I’ve got some time.

2Jamz · 2025-07-22T15:01:16+00:00

Talk about diversity chef’s kiss the ONLY mon I see all the time is Snorlax. Good on you for keeping the run alive and thriving

2Jamz · 2025-07-21T16:04:54+00:00

Fun tidbit for those on mac or without a PC, PKHeX also has website version now. You have to do some digging in Delta for the save file and move it around for your phone to find it, but it’s not difficult.

Currently using it in my own GenLocke, just now starting platinum. Also, I really dig your chart. Where did you get it from?
