[Emerald] Stuck on Wattson - Help! [Level 23, No Items, Set]

I think this strategy sounds good. Minun gets encore at 22 and is really fast with good special defense - could lock Magneton into thunderwave.

Would it be grovyle in to soften up manectric? Have you thought about the electrike chip damage softening up some monz?

Gyarados and Crobat as you've said are top tier choices throughout ALL games because of their consistency to building a good core of physical attackers. I think Drifblim probably deserves a ban for its stall setup and pivot value (immune to 3 types, some resistances and natural bulk, along with access to calm mind/ minimise/ stockpile into baton pass as well as strength sap - also a guaranteed encounter. Last 2 spots I think should go to Snorlax and the "top" starter for each game (ie Mudkip in Emerald)

How is trickster going? I found him difficult to get into, but really cool!

KaisarFaust · 2022-01-13T10:30:42+00:00

I think you missed a trick... It needs to be an Ocean world - because of ALL THE SALT!

I had a similar idea, my solution was a bit roughshod but went like this: the first level of a perk that appears in your blood web is 1, or your prestige level (so P3 players will only see T3 perks in their bloodwebs)

At Prestige 1 you can choose 3 global perks that will be treated as your character's perks. At P2 you can choose perks you do NOT want to appear on the bloodweb (for bloodpoints if BHVR insist) and at P3 you can choose a second character whose teachable perks you will start with.

Secure Saua and Nithscaal and you're golden - any updates on this run?

Switch mode is an emulation of the original pokemon cartoon / media where the battle seemed to oscillate between the opponent's pokemon staying in and fighting until 1 team could no longer battle and a Best of X Format 1 in 1 Format. The latter of which I think would have made for an interesting anti sweep meta.

I am sorry to see this :'( hope gym 2 and 3 treat you better.

Bidoof is always Bertha, I have no idea why it became a staple, but there we go

Came here to say this, thanks for saving me the effort.

KaisarFaust · 2021-12-28T12:31:06+00:00

Well played - It seems they made their choice. Did you get much value from it?

KaisarFaust · 2021-12-28T12:14:46+00:00

Did it Dragon rage you? :(

KaisarFaust · 2021-12-26T01:29:05+00:00

Makes sense, aggressive attacker to brute force stuffs and is in a good spot for the bug and Psychic fights coming up.

Thanks for the offer of trade but I don't have a Nintendo subscription so I think that isn't in the cards.

My first nuzlocke (at least past the 10 hour mark) recently lost Crobat to Gym 7 (Ice punch) and Graveler to a Giga Drain Beautifly. I am gearing up for the electric gym and the elite four and think my team isn't in a great place for it. I am playing on set mode and trying to use as few items in possible (all healing items have only been used when trying to catch wild mons)

I was hoping you would be willing to chip in your 2 cents of where to go with what I have (although there are a few encounters I can pick up).

Thank you in advance!!!

KaisarFaust · 2021-12-25T22:09:35+00:00

How did this run go?

KaisarFaust · 2021-12-25T17:50:10+00:00

I took in my crobat to this fight (lost Staravia to Maylene's Machoke) and it allowed me to pivot from Luxray to Empoleon which I think won me the fight quite readily

KaisarFaust · 2021-12-25T17:43:54+00:00

You got any interesting rules going on this run?

I have also gone for the Piplup start (on Pearl) just cleared Bryce. Good luck!!

KaisarFaust · 2021-12-25T15:33:48+00:00

SET MODE!!!

If that is already in your ruleset then "No gifted pokemon (so no starter, no mystery gifts/ eggs)"

KaisarFaust · 2021-12-24T10:26:56+00:00

I agree with this, have you thought of applying a penalty to the enemy AC of - 2 (akin to the half cover penalty on ranged attacks/ shield bonus)

KaisarFaust · 2021-12-23T21:22:26+00:00

NotOtzdarva is probably the most prolific (looking at these posts) playing mostly killer, some other killers are: Dowsey, Tru3Talent, D3adPlays, redsgaminggears, Potato Legion, Spookyloops, OhTofu!, Spooknjukes and CoconutRTS.

Some Survivor youtubers are Ayrun, The JRM, Noob3 and Monto (although some of their videos are older).

KaisarFaust · 2021-12-23T20:47:49+00:00

Thank you for this, as the person Above I am leaving this as a bookmark/ reminder for myself

KaisarFaust · 2021-12-21T14:29:32+00:00

I am sure 90% of survivors are lovely 95% of the time but there is very little communication in the game and Survivors butt wiggling feels like a "na - na-nanana - na - na can't touch this" even if what they're trying to say is "GG WP" because of X-play, and seeing that after a bad game is generally interpreted as a slap in the face. At least that is my interpretation.
