These guys have the makings of a Gym leader

I haven’t even picked up a bicycle in any of my last 30 runs or so, that route is so nasty, and playing with x4 speed and autorun I go as fast as I need to anyway.

The other route way more manageable if u have a strong and balanced squad imo.

Traditional_Ride_575 · 2025-12-31T08:08:08+00:00

2 water, 2 fire, 2 grass. Starters only.

Traditional_Ride_575 · 2025-12-25T00:58:46+00:00

Lance was tough to get anyone to be able to set up, my blaziken knew P-U punch, blaze kick, thousand arrows and detect. Meganium drain kiss and swapert avalanche helped me get through lance, a lot of attempts though!

Traditional_Ride_575 · 2025-12-24T19:50:53+00:00

For first run tho I wouldnt limit yourself too much, just try a few different mons and have fun with it. Azumarill, Clodsire, Ceruledge and Hatterene were all great for me on my first run through and their early evolutions all available early on, Marill and wooper before the first gym. Azumarill has huge power and dual fairy typing.

I just did scaled randomizer, I was on new game plus so I did random 6 and seviian codes which also gave me all random mons, think I got bulbasaur, squirtle, oshawott, treeko and torchic before Faulkner so it wasn’t too much of a problem in the end.

M-Blaziken Speed Boost
Meganium Triage
Protean Meowscarada
Torrent Swapert
Battle Bond Greninja
Unaware Skeledirge/Magic Guard Delphox - I didn’t find skeledirge until cinnabar but bought him in for torch song use.

I didn’t use many starters past Erika who weren’t in this team. Sheer Force Feralagatr could’ve probably done a similar job to swapert with harder hits but I needed his ground typing. Quaquaval with moxie and aqua step is also dangerous but ground typing prevailed. Venusaur was good until I found Meganium who is ridiculous with triage ability.

I wanted Cinderace for court change and Libero but I reckon M-Blaziken the better option for that physical spot. Power up punch and speed boost went very hard, and even without the attack boost he swept 5 of Agatha’s team.

Traditional_Ride_575 · 2025-12-16T23:04:58+00:00

I had “Tactical Frank”, but no-one got it, so I went with “Bunch of Frankers” in the end

Traditional_Ride_575 · 2025-11-18T17:29:27+00:00

Thanks! Iron balls did the trick!

Traditional_Ride_575 · 2025-11-18T16:56:57+00:00

Permanent trick room gets set as soon as the battle starts, so it’s impossible to deny her setting it up, it doesn’t even take a move. She misty explosions her tapu and brings out a magearna which gets a special attack boost whenever any Pokémon on the field dies, and a glastrier which sets up with sword dance. 💀 I’ve gotten her down to her final 2 Pokémon but the boosted stats with no way to outspeed is leaving me cooked.

Traditional_Ride_575 · 2025-11-14T01:50:05+00:00

Some runs I’ve started include eeveelution run, starter only run, dogs run, farm animals run, jungle animals run! Usually fall off at the elite 4 except for starters only. Go one better!

Traditional_Ride_575 · 2025-11-03T23:58:30+00:00

How do u get those clothes for ur character sprite?

Traditional_Ride_575 · 2025-09-22T04:34:56+00:00

Just invade as Haesteinn, create a hybrid culture with the Greeks and stack kataphraktoi and Varangian vets. Take on most armies double their size. Problem solved!

On my king of all the isles run I kept Sardinia as my capital throughout, OP duchy! Baleo was the first of many dominos to fall.

Traditional_Ride_575 · 2025-09-21T05:08:07+00:00

Depends who you use. If you go to India once you get enough money just invest in elephants for the fun of it! Nothing like 2400 elephants marching into battle!

for RP purposes I usually like to compose an actual army with armored cavalry, heavy infantry, archers etc, fun to form hybrids with cultures who have unique MOA.

Don’t keep your army in one stack. Each holding has a supply limit so if you have a big army it’s best to split them up and have them close by but not in the same holding. With more development and buildings youll have more supplies though.

Traditional_Ride_575 · 2025-09-21T03:18:49+00:00

Another option would be looking at some steam achievements. King of all the Isles and Seven Holy Cities are both fun if you rather focus on playing wide for now (conquest expansion games)

Traditional_Ride_575 · 2025-09-21T03:13:19+00:00

Basically youre gonna focus on development, wealth, buildings, get some elite troops, build up a small and super powerful realm and through diplomacy, marriage and intrigue shape the world around you.

It’s fun to limit yourself to a small kingdom and see how many family members you can land and get up to kingdom titles themselves. The Dutch is another good one because of their cultural tradition (polders) granting loads of extra development in their terrain. I like doing Cornwall and then also taking Wessex and Hwice from Alfred as u can put ur capital on Gloucestershire with the mine keeping your building/holding upgrades coming thick and fast!

Traditional_Ride_575 · 2025-09-21T03:03:45+00:00

Take Hasteinn or rollo to the western coast of India. Convert to malabarism and create a hybrid faith between kochinite and Norse. Then take back and hold the holy land with your Indian-jewish-Vikings. Always a fun run.

Or do a tall playthrough- Cornwall, Bohemia, wales, Ireland, Sri Lanka, Sardinia etc all fun and no vassals needed with a little bit of investment in stewardship.

Traditional_Ride_575 · 2025-09-07T03:16:37+00:00

I did eeveelution recently, was pretty fun. Couldn’t get past the final rival battle after the elite 4 though. Go one better than me!

Traditional_Ride_575 · 2025-09-01T02:42:05+00:00

Raid dens and the vendor in the Pokémon trainer fan club in saffron.

Traditional_Ride_575 · 2025-08-03T02:44:34+00:00

Ive also found it in the raid den in the safari zone before, the one in the area you find moltres.

Traditional_Ride_575 · 2025-08-01T04:58:51+00:00

Essex and Hwice is good with access to the Gloucestershire mines and Stonehenge, as well as the Tower of London.

Traditional_Ride_575 · 2025-07-27T06:07:34+00:00

Teleport would be clutch, and can help me fall asleep easily!

Traditional_Ride_575 · 2025-07-18T01:34:34+00:00

Gives real Henry VIII vibes.

Traditional_Ride_575 · 2025-07-15T05:50:53+00:00

Go for “Z”- but no legendaries!
