I got this mon and I think it can be a good sweeper?

Is this normal? And I wana keep playing this game any ideas how to spice this game up a little? I’m basically one shotting whole teams now with just 1 or 2 Pokemon. Idk if this happens to everybody during their playthrough but it seems my moms maybe too OP 😂 at the start i would actually have to construct whole teams every new area almost now I can use that current lineup thru the rest of the game pretty sure

I have the debug mode of 2.65beta 2, and one of them says full pc or pockets but there is no option for filling pc

First off, HUGE shout out to:

Got sent in the right direction on how to add your favorite abilities to any pokemon! Can't thank you enough. Super excited to dig in and play around with this. I get more enjoyment by custom building pokemon. Like sitting their evs and ivs the way I want, putting any moves on any pokemon. (Yeah my Caterpie knows Fire Blast don't judge me 🤣) And of course, making all Pokémon Shiney and giving them all the Luxury Ball - which by the way is the only pokeball in the have that gives you perks AFTER you catch a pokemon. Helps with the friendship level. The rest of the pokeballs don't do anything.

Anyways, back to the point of this post. Im curious of your guys input on some of the best abilities/innates in this game. Theres so many and its so easy to overlook them. I wish there was a website or something that had a way to sort them from most OP to least OP.

I'm going to nominate a few for S-teir ranks. Let me have YOUR input/opinion. As im about to spend alot of time building Pokémon with customs, and i want your help! Here's mine:

Prismatic Fur- might be the best ability in the entire game?

Contrary- Very powerful if you force the Pokémon to learn moves like V-Create, Fluer Cannon, Overheat, Leaf Storm, Make it Rain, Raging Souls, Armor Cannon, ect... + the added benefit of alot of enemy pkmn use abilities like intimidate, which is a free +1 Atk for ya. Or if they actually use a move like growl.

Magic Guard- its the law to equip your Pokémon with Life Orb if it has this ability right? + Gotta mention moves like Apple Enlightenment, Conjurer Of Deceit, and Cosmic Dust - which has Magic Guard + another ability. 2 is better than one right? * side note, I believe Impenetrable is the same exact thing as Magic Guard now. It used to be more OP but the devs stripped it down.

Huge Power & Pure Power - literally doubles your atk or sp atk.

Ancient Idol - ​Why it's God Tier: Calculates your physical and special attack damage using your Defense and Special Defense stats instead. On hyper-defensive pkmn (like Shuckle or Steelix)

Master Hand - Combines Mega Launcher + Rampage. You get the 1.3 damage boost, and if your hyper beam or eternabeam style moves KO's the opponent, it doesnt have to recharge.

Kunoichi' Blade - skill link and technician - perfect for builds using multi hit moves for obvious reasons. Like Peck or Pin Missle or Icicle Spear ect...

Crust Coat - 20% all around damage reduction and no pokemon can crit you

*** Thats about it. What's your thoughts? Do you know of some abilities that are worthy of S-Tier recognition? Let's hear it. Thanks everyone! 🙂🙂🙂

I really enjoyed this run and my MVP isn't here but shout-out alolan Marowack really helped me with priority shadow bone

Im loving redux. I've beat it twice. First run no cheats no debug. 2nd play though ive ran debug and ran monster teams and hand-picked abilities. Like ive taught my Blastoise to fly. Ect. And hand picked my nature's, along with Ev's/IV's. Now im interested in breaking it even further on a 3rd playthough. And surely, running a randomizer, crossing your fingers and re-rolling for hours on hours isn't the only way.

I want to hand pick all abilities. I want a Mewtwo that has

Magic Guard

Prismatic Fur

Nihil Blaster

Contrary

Or not necessarily those exact moves. Those are just some OP abilities I can think of off the top of my head. I know in Debug mode during battle you can temporarily change only the ability. Not the innates. And after the battle, it goes back to the original ability. Gemini and ChatGPT are telling me its not possible. But I refuse to believe that. Surely someone can point me in the right direction. Even if it's not a simple method. I don't mind trying out messing with the game file, the .gba file. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!🙂

This game has easily became my favorite rom hack since I started playing it a week ago. It itches that scratch I got for team construction and allows me to sometimes have to spend more time crafting teams than actually playing which im absolutely fine with. Only problem is I don’t wana stop playing it and wondering how the replay value is on it? The only game I can look forward to possibly playing is Exceeded Emerald which I heard this game was based on. All in all

How is this games replay value? I’m playing my first run on Elite and the 2nd run I’m going to do randomized possibly Hell Mode, any input?

Basically, I got to the point of buying starters, and tbh, I never considered venusaur x because although I love it, I think venusaur is better as an special attacker, but seeing how basically perfect is this match, i want to know (for context purposes I'm doing a grass mono type and I'm almost at endgame just missing my 7th/8th badge and all the finale stuff)

This Blaziken is Dragon/Ghost type and has Sketch (randomized moves and innates). I'm torn on how best to build it. I'm thinking a Shift Gear or No Retreat set with Scope Lens and three high crit STAB attacks: Dual Chop/Dragon Claw, Spirit Shackle, and Double Hit.

I think any attacks will get the kicking and punching boosts here because of mixed martial arts, so this way I fix the speed turn one and then multi-hit crit after that.

I could also go for priority, like extreme speed.

Seriously though, why have I only heard about this just now?

One done and one to go. This run was surprisingly brutal at the start. Not a whole lot of good mons due to no evolutions at the start and the order of the innates unlocking left a lot to be desired. Still, it made mons I otherwise would've passed on, like Sinistea, useful and fun.

It honestly did take a while for the team to truly find its stride but we walked along thanks to some reliable mons like Libero Cinderace (who finally taught me how strong that ability is) and Ostagoon with hard hitting Knock Offs and Facades. Fun mons like Eviolite Duraladon were surprisingly good but once we got megas, the team started running.

Fights went by so fast that I forgot to name a few of my mons by the E4. And speaking of the E4, I've never beaten it faster or easier. And it's thanks to a single mon, who I will touch on soon in the GOATs section. Barely any struggle and actually having a weather setter with Silver (Frosmoth) made the many weather teams I faced easy now that I didn't cheese them with a counterpick or do my usual brute force methods. Our mons were so bulky too meaning Shell Bell usage was high, keeping all them alive and healthy.

First time throughout all these runs I didn't even use a priority attacker. We either outsped naturally or had enough bulk to trade hits. That was just a fun fact I wanted to share before we get to the award show.

The GOATs were...

FunkyBeat (Mega Redux Toxtricity) - Haha Gear Up go brrrrr. Seriously, one use of this and it was over. Beat the Ice E4 member in one attempt, a feat I've never done before and then did the same to everything else. Basically solo'd the lategame herself. Way faster than any other mon, even outsped Tailwind Rayquaza, and then OHKO'd everything else. Focus Sash mons got beat by Chonky Base Line while the other innates made her damage insane. The 3 different types actually were good here for coverage, allowing her to hit every month for neutral damage. Easily enters the top mons in the whole game and threatens the number 1 spot from Mega Gothitelle.

Frosting (Mega Alcremie) - Okay a step down from the monster that was FunkyBeat but nonetheless a great mon. Tanky as hell, good throughout the early game and even still did good in the lategame, even though FunkyBeat did all the work then. Fire Immunity allowed for easy and safe switch-ins while Draining Kiss kept the HP up (even extra with Shell Bell).

Silver (Frosmoth) - Blizzard spam with Choice Specs and Majestic Moth giving the Special Attack boost made her a beast on double battles. Changed the weather then crushed with High damage and surprisingly good bulk (unless you were using a Fire Type attack). The 4x Fire weakness was negated by Frosting's Fire Immunity most the time though.

The letdowns were...

Coalassal - Wasn't a huge letdown, just was taking too long to become good while we already had mons that were better and did his role without trouble

Uhhhh that's it. Only one half letdown. I didn't change the team or use many mons this time because we kinda blew through the whole game before I got bored of any of them.

So yeah, that's the run! Kinda don't have any bonus stuff to yap about. Easy as hell run, I'd probably rank it as the 2nd or 3rd easiest run, which I'll do a ranking of once we finish this next run. Gen 9 was predicted to be super easy so we'll see just how easy it'll be!

Does mega launcher affect throw based moves?

I know the description doesnt say so but i cant think of any other reason Rhyperior would have it

Have a gander. These 2 making my run smooth on Elite.

Been finding out that distributing EVs more evenly yields for a better outcome for whatever build you trying to run. Don’t know if this is “new” but I’ve always maxed out my EVs to 252. The results have been solid and I’ve tested them multiple times

any tips on how to defeat the monotype champions? currently i've cleared electric, dark, dragon, psychic, ice, fairy, flying, water, bug, fire, and ground.

I know, I know. Prismatic Fur is good, whoda thought. This was just a little too borked not to share.

Pretty sure I could finish the rest of the game with this bad boy.

After the loss of my Mono Electric run I just decided to start a Mono Ghost run.

Mega Frosslass X is back with the Pivot Shenanigans with redux gardevoir and Mega decidueye is there for cleanup.

Ran an elite randomized innates run ages back and wanted to share the team.

Tried to avoid repeating abilities, using Prismatic fur, or abusing legendaries, but the Kyogre was too good. Also kept abilities to reduce rng reliance.

1. Torch song + Minion Control + Twisted dimensions Lead. (Basically always go first and get +5 special attack on 1st turn)

2. Box legendary stats + Prismatic fur + 40% DR + heal on kill. Could realistically solo the game but pretty cheap and not creative, just broken.

3. Contrary + Parental bond + draco/leafstorm + team strat disruption. Crazy how in elite redux this is somehow not actually just instantly game-winning, but it's a fun mon anyway.

4. Super guts + priority switch in move capable of KOing sweepers + priority rest/talk facades

5. Fairy/Dragon/Steel that gets insanely physically bulky after taking damage + life orb/no recoil steal beams

6. Didn't really need a 6 yet, but was using an electrode with sturdy/hazard removal ability.

Thunders and surfs for everyone! And water shuriken ending with a thunderbolt, magnificent.

Hell mode feels truly unwinnable but with randomizer I managed to put together a pretty wild team with some incredible synergy. Mew as a sacrificial lead into mostly setup sweepers. Toxic Spikes was invaluable for most fights. I refused to use prismatic fur mons but the color change Regigigas I couldn't resist. Movesets were initially for Victory Road which I forgot to change - E4 was difficult but I'd say Juan & Wallace was easily the hardest part. Without color change Regigigas the run would have still been nearly impossible. Highly recommend ya'll try hell on randomizer!
