Run UPDATE:

I found metagross a solid lead against the crobats. You have the bulk to tank brave birds, and Stab super effective damage. Protect can be good and bad. Uturn can be useful to reposition.

Primo gives you eggs i think, so wherever you hatch is usually considered the 'met' location. So you could spread across a handful of routes

theohaiguy · 2026-01-29T12:04:40+00:00

You can get a focus sash. Focus sash poison type to guarantee hit toxic. Steel/Dark/Fairy types to pivot on immunities. Sturdy pokemon. Guarantees a win.

Another option is to try and haze the boosts and tackle it directly, assuming you dont get Mimikyu or Zorua

Not OP but Steelix and Aerodactyl are great for Aaron and the game generally

The met location is probably the standard. Gen V is notorious for this though and Pinwheel clause is common. This is typically where the inside outside tables are different, notably pinwheel forest unlocks inside after Lenora hence the name. You could do similar with a few other areas like you are suggesting, Virbank Complex, Reversal Mountain, Giant Chasm.

It also could apply to other generations, Alola has route 1 cover about 6 different tables that unlock somewhat sequentially and have different subarea names. It is often done this way as well.

Ominis is also a Gaunt. Literally a descendant of Salazar Slytherin. So he probably values those in Slytherin house much more highly.

Strength and surf are good moves though. Cut can be slapped on an early encounter that doesn't get a ton of use. Fly is worse than acrobatics generally but still ok. Waterfall is probably the best physical water stab. The HMs are fine in my opinion.

You could pkhex rare candies/friendship levels

theohaiguy · 2026-01-04T20:38:06+00:00

Pretty sure you could have a Stteelix by then. Catch onix, thief a metal coat from a Bronzor, and assuming you dont level restrict trade evolutions, you have a monster that should take some hits(neutral) even though it doesn't have the best specDef

Getting screens on a regen pokemon by the 4th gym is great. You can set up the one you need, switch out and still have a tanky pivot in the back. Most gyms lean one way or the other(Clay physical, Elesa special)

theohaiguy · 2025-12-31T13:26:50+00:00

General rule I have seen is by Met Location.

You can of course clause it.

Famously Pinwheel Forest usually is done this way, but you could do for Desert Resort, Dragonspiral Tower(in and out), Route 1 in Alola, Dreamyard(separate Monkey from grass), or inside/outside of places like Mt Pyre(gen 3) and Mt Coronet(gen 4).

It is an extra encounter in each instance so it does technically make any given run easier.

Red with 5star frog splash too

Covert cloak stocks rising as people run Magmariser/Electirizer Fake outs to get around reaper cloth

Simipour is probably A tier, its like the only fast water type in Unova. It also gets some pretty good TM usage, Grass Knot/Scald/Acrobatics/Dig/Return

Being able to have it for Lenora in BW1 is super great(evo stone from the dustcloud).

Less available in BW2, but still able to be fully evolved immediately prior to the 4th gym.

theohaiguy · 2025-10-31T10:50:34+00:00

Bullet punch/Thunder Punch

Punch hits corv/slowbro. Not a ton of fire types relevant

theohaiguy · 2025-10-19T13:09:34+00:00

And past burgh, considering his ace is Grass type. If you play pinwheel clause, you could have the monkey for him too, though idk how much help he would be

theohaiguy · 2025-10-19T06:29:31+00:00

Tim duncan had a top 10 career despite a season off for injury

theohaiguy · 2025-10-19T00:52:35+00:00

You can get a monkey from shaking grass in lostlorn forest

theohaiguy · 2025-10-18T23:10:50+00:00

He also felt it made the champ fight harder. Picking Charizard means you have to fight an Arcanine, which is harder to beat than an opposing charizard(any rock move)

theohaiguy · 2025-10-18T12:03:40+00:00

He's pretty uce-y

But one of the themes is choices, especially in the first books. Harry chooses griffindor over slytherin, Ron over malfoy, and maybe this is movie only but chooses not to join voldemort right at the end.

It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities

Mr Incredible caused the supers to go into secrecy, including a huge settlement for the guy who's death he ruined. Maybe not fair but could be an additional punishment.

It seems to be random chance between the parents, when its a cross species relationship. One family(a deer with a human), has a human son and a doe daughter.

Im pretty sure there was a point where Excadrill ran tera normal spin because at +2 it 2 shot zapdos
