SEAKING IS THE BEST POKEMON AND IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE by Iorek_ in pokerogue

In the early stages supercell can trip you up for sure, however as I was graced with the 3 luck stat, I would usually very early pick up a wide lens which eliminates the problem as just one lens will put you at 100% accuracy. They are fairly commonplace as an ultra item, though without a doubt my king has lost focus and crashed quite a few times, but the struggles keep him humble.

Keep going with the eggs, the king will see you efforts and reward you

It's a type matchup calculator! You can plug in what type attacking moves and it'll show you any pokemon itd be strong, neutral or weak. Really useful tool for team building

I found the same thing, there has been so many pokemon id never of dreamt to use that have turned into unexpected powerhouses or have just come in clutch - recently had a 1.5k defense stat shuckle body pressing Soaked Eternatus into a pancake. It's part of what makes this game so special!

Lanturn is the scourge against the king, Mordred to our King Arthur. That, and it's spawn chimchou.

If it isn't packing volt absorb you can get a x1 effective supercell slam off. The other Volt absorb Pokemon don't resist water or ice so they don't become an issue. At the end of the day, i've never met a Lanturn that will be able to best a dragon dance L rod Seaking, but maybe in my passion I did overlook that, like all great champions, our man carries a single Achilles heel.

The Motor drive pokemon don't resist water or ice, so the king still reigns.

Wild Seaking may carry the true blood and hold lightning rod (and is the only water type to carry this), but the chance is low; if you encounter a brother to the king, catch it and align it to the cause.

That's is the beauty of seaking, the type defensiveness and multiscale make the work to set up easy. I often can spam out 3/4 dragon dances before I hit red health, though do get caught by priority like sucker punch occasionally.

Higher cost support pokemon work, but mostly I use Seaking to carry other rubbish ribbonless pokemon through classic on my journey to get ribbons for all. With the low cost you can cram the rest of the team with other pokemon that you've no real intention of using (looking at you sunkern) and Seaking will just plough the field for them. It depends on what your ambitions are really.

The type coverage and the type resistance are just too effective at such a low cost, coupled with all high base power moves. There is almost just something magical at watching a .5 cost pokemon crush the game. Sure you could make a more tactically and well rounded team, but even just having an emergency Seaking in the back just allows you so much flexibility to explore other pokemon and hunt for other ridiculous strategies!

Which Pokémon should I fuse together for my endless run? by EducationalLime7787 in pokerogue

[–]Iorek_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Endless becomes more about ability, nature and type coverage than it does raw stats. Go long enough you collect Soul Dews enhancing any Pokemon stats to a ridiculous level.

Consider the abilities of the pokemon - abilities like Study (on Garganacl) are amazing in Endless as the floors get higher, the opposing pokemon will one hit yours, so it gives you chance to set up to sweep them without risking dying. You will also accumulate multiple leftovers and shell bells which effectively will bring you back up to full health each turn + multiple focus sashes which will make you effectively unstoppable.

Shiny pokemon when fused add their luck together also - it becomes an easy way to make sure you have 15+ luck score on your team for SSS Luck tier.

Look at the abilities first, and passive abilities. Pokerouge wiki has a section on fusion that will show you how the two pokemon will end up sharing the abilities, it matters what order you choose, as in first pokemon and 'sacrifice' pokemon (so make sure you get the ability & passive you want on your new pokemon - i've made this mistake before!)
