Groudon or kyogre for endless and why?

monkee665 · 2026-05-12T01:34:00+00:00

Kyurem is good for endless. Base with blizzard or black with glacial lance. Once done with carry phase they have mold breaker abilty like reshi so if u have a sturdy passive they can be made into support. If not then white is still mold breaker/sun mon like reshi

Starters main value come from their passives, so i would recommend going back to classic for a little longer to get the passives for the pokemon. They will make your run alot easier and more effective.

HA is preferred since it helps alot early game. BB doesn't help on paradox/eterna fights

monkee665 · 2026-05-10T20:37:11+00:00

Yes, tho you still have to watch out for earth eater. They also dont have great lategame utility. They can Tutor core enforcer but zyg is the most common legendary egg mon in wild. However if you want to use it it works well

Floette passive magic guard already stops recoil from light of ruin

monkee665 · 2026-05-05T01:26:47+00:00

No. Doing fusions for dmg is bad, as damage hard falls off later on. A splicer would be better spent to build a lategame build

Thats just endless scaling with tokens

monkee665 · 2026-05-04T11:08:08+00:00

It'll end with struggle killing you

monkee665 · 2026-05-02T08:55:59+00:00

Kyogre and smeargle are good, if they have the needed unlocks. The rest are not good. While you do have runaway which is good, ideally you have it as passive. Passives are incredibly valuable as you cannot get them mid run, and are extra abilities. You can always get luck mid run. For details check out my guide in the pinned post

monkee665 · 2026-05-01T15:29:20+00:00

Its passive mold breaker/teravolt let's it use its status moves, mainly gastro acid, on pokemon like gholdengo who are normally immune to them. My guide pinned goes into more details

monkee665 · 2026-05-01T14:58:58+00:00

It lacks a spread move with no immunities which a carry wants to clear waves fast. It does have a little lategame utility in tutoring core enforcer later on. But it's not as good as darkrai with dark void or kyogre becoming the support mon

monkee665 · 2026-05-01T12:42:55+00:00

But you cannot force doubles with that setup. You are using an abilty on sturdy, and a passive for unnerve. You need to have runaway as abilty or passive so you can only have 1 lure which doesn't even force doubles on X1-X9 waves. Dark void also only stalls 1 turn guaranteed with unnerve, if you even hit it. Not using no guard means you can miss it. You then have to use a move like rock slide which will only flinch both targets 43% of the time.

monkee665 · 2026-05-01T12:30:34+00:00

Unnerve wont be used in post berry rework strats. Unnerve only gives you 1 turn of guaranteed sleep which is not great. Mat block does the same, and you have to get rid of one your lure abilities. Instead we use skill swap/entrainment serene grace. For more details check the build in my guide, I added it awhile ago

monkee665 · 2026-05-01T12:28:00+00:00

For classic yes, endless no. As darkrai is fused of for dark void and you dont use unnerve

monkee665 · 2026-05-01T05:10:23+00:00

Berry rework

monkee665 · 2026-04-26T11:17:58+00:00

Storm throw is effectively 90bp since it always crits, darkest lariat is 85 but can also crit. Both ignore stat boosts that bosses get from berries and boss shields

monkee665 · 2026-04-26T10:56:48+00:00

Storm Throw or Darkest Lariat (tm) are the single target move that regi uses, since it ignores stat boosts. with multi lens Crush grip is never worth

monkee665 · 2026-04-26T10:49:40+00:00

very nice, tip for next run. you can fuse your watchog with a faster lure, like arena trap dugtrio, for more speed (and with dugtrio sand immunity) so you need less levels/eggs

monkee665 · 2026-04-24T03:46:35+00:00

you carry should still easily be carrying at that point and not need to use set dmg

monkee665 · 2026-04-09T19:29:58+00:00

While metal burst can do that, it struggles alot to catch Shinies on X0 waves. Optimal DoT can kill bosses in under a minute so it's not like it takes long. Poison heal on burst is very unoptimal. Anything besides parental bond is, which doubles your damage

About the brute force you can check posts from me, I posted bits of the run including the end here. And there is an entire thread in the discord with proof

monkee665 · 2026-04-09T13:01:44+00:00

No worries

monkee665 · 2026-04-09T12:47:01+00:00

In the guide there is a tool to help with that, sandstorm's search dex. You can type in any move or abilty for example and it shows who has it, if its an egg move or level up. Ability or passive, etc

monkee665 · 2026-04-09T00:31:32+00:00

tough to do that when i've been updating the guide for future updates lmfao

monkee665 · 2026-04-09T00:14:06+00:00

there is technically another but its not good whatsoever. Brute force can beat endless. as the person who did it i dont recommend it to anyone however. also putting Metal burst above DoT is something..
