I know you probably explained in the video but why somes moves or abilities are (N) and (P), what’s the goal I mean ? And how to get them to unlock

[@Bongyes]

@@princedelamifax2543 the (P) moves worn partially. Usually it means sepcial effect doesnt work. For instance stomping tantrum deals 75. Always. Doesnt matter if you missed previous turn or not, you wont get boost. (N) are moves that doesnt work. Just dont use them. Also you cant "unlock them". They are simply not implemented into the game. Simply wait for update i guess if you want them to work.

Helpful Tip: Catch/Bring a pokemon with Pickup. Every so often a Pokemon has a Berry or Held Item. Pokemon with Pickup automatically take these after battle, allowing you to take their items and spread them throughout your team as needed, as opposed to the alternative which is losing them.

[@gay_king22]

I was wondering if that ability was in the game and if it worked but didn't bother catching a pokemon that had it, thanks for the tip :D

also, even if you don't use the pokemon, its still gonna take the held item

@@ncitlagi4953 Yup it's a site indeed.

[@wernt0]

Personally, I think the switching out is a bit broken. I was doing a rival fight. They had a Torterra so I switch into my flying type. I attack but they switch into their flying type. They attack so I switch into an electric type. I attack and they switch into Torterra. This went on until I knocked out their flying type

[@legeul]

@@wernt0 LMAO, so average competitive battle experience. Joking aside prety much the same thing happens to me, it's honestly insane, but also impresive the AI is smart enough to switch that much.

They switch based purely on type, and it's predictable enough to cheese. I love it.

Sucker punch doesn’t require an attack so it’s an upgrade, and purist impression I haven’t used but I’m guessing it also has priority implemented.

One thing i can recommend is status lowering moves and moves like leech seed, salt cure etc that do continous % dmg are amazing for the final boss and i havent failed against it anymore after using those tactics. Also catching boss mons is not only pretty safe since you get healed up after but they also tend to have more items than regular wild mons so its worth doing.

I'm glad your first video on PokeRogue did so well in the algorithm. It introduced me to this awesome take on a roguelite Pokemon game! I'm only on my first run, so all these tips are very helpful. Thank you!

[@08Juan80]

I actually did not know the effects of Pokerus in this game, so thanks for that, and the other tips. I also didn't know lures stacked with each other.

[@BabyPikachuWithLollipop]

Also seen in your first video, meowth technician fake out is OP early game (lvl 5-20ish). I started meowth, geodude (with egg move body press), and wattrel (for electric moves and speed) and it got me all the way through classic mode on my 6th attempt. Granted, I got lucky with Golem being a heavy sweeper mid game but it's amazing how meowth fake out can carry. Also, leech seed hits like a tank, it takes percentage hp. When I faced the final boss, leech seed did 25% and carried me through fake out stall. Love the entertainment and I'll definitely be using these tips in my future runs! Good luck everyone

[@BrunoMalagone]

funny, this video was posted as I was finishing my first winning run. wish I knew how fusing worked before starting the run, but it worked out well enough. I fused a Feraligatr with a Gurdurr, hoping it could evolve with a link cable... but no, it couldn't. he was still one of my best pokemon by the end, water/fighting feraligatr with guts, bulk up and drain punch was insane update: the second part of the fusion can evolve now

[@trystinbrown2965]

I didn't know the fusion mechanic either, lmao. I tried to fuse a stakataka with a keldeo in hopes of a very monstrous defense stat and a more decent attack stat. But what I actually got was a more weakness mon that didn't do much for the boss.

[@FertIx26]

I got the fusion on like level 4 and fused a pikachu with a bidoof and the only thing it had that was good was pikachu's double team + bidoof's simple ability. Safe to say, I died pretty early on that run.

[@jamaela18]

Heres another tip: if youre having way too much trouble winning, pick kyogre + nymble/plusle/minun. Kyogre has hurricane as egg move, starts with ancient power and origin pulse that destroys double battles, learns ice beam and aqua ring by level up and can primal revert if you get lucky and aquire the mega bracelet and the blue orb (but not necessary, it clears the game anyway as base kyogre). I actually stopped using it cause I won 4 runs in a row.

[@fenderdewit7520]

I used calyrex shadow rider with ditto game was free

[@Aka60thChip]

Something that helped me at the beginning is starting with mudkip. It learns rocksmash pretty early on n it does wonders for the abundance of normal types

[@Dukstless]

The early floors are definitely a wall. Rival 2/Wave 25 feels a bit overtuned, without help of decent Eggs (which you can get this early if you roll Gym on wave 20) you kinda need to get lucky with what you get, as by that point you're likely to have only one Pokemon that matches their team and if it's not good enough, it will die and then the rest of your team gets swept. A bunch of my early runs died to that fight, then I got really funny earlygame and I turned my Technician Meowth into a murder machine (Multilens and Grip Claw; it had stolen so many held items that by the end game wouldn't show all of them unless I went into a summary lmao), with the team surviving all the way to wave 195 (where it actually got pretty close to winning). From that funny run got a bunch of Eggs Vouchers, which lead to another murder machine: Parabolic Charge Magnemite (Magnezone with healing STAB move is seriously hard to kill, especially when the rest of the time covers its weakness). After some finetuning, I managed to clear wave 195 (and the final boss) today. Also they rebalanced some things recently, I am pretty sure X Items used to last only 5 waves, and the better Rare Candy used to just give more levels rather than be Rare Candy for entire team.

[@alicedodobirb2808]

Yeah the first time I played i lost to the first rival battle because my one good mon was weak to their whole team, and it took getting glaceon (in the third run) to beat her at 25. It was really disappointing especially because I just wanted to get eggs for new pokemon :(

[@mw3crutch522]

dude meowth is super good it's crazy

[@razzberrypie]

Agreed, I managed to get Paldean Tauros and Indeedee on one run and I don’t know how I’d get far consistently without them

[@Kaghtaviy]

Yeah, true. I'm used to levelling everyone up, so I purposefully only picked mudkip and only then I finally got a decent run. Lost to Cheren on (approximately) wave 110 though, his cinccino was ridiculous.

[@matt9618]

I tried my first run this morning and had a rough time, lost on the gym battle at 20. Did kinda have a shit team tho

[@themathiasP]

Helpful Tip, get the candy jars whenever they are available as a rewards. They increase the effect of rare candies. If you have 1, a rare candy increases your level by 2 instead of 1. If you have 2 jars, you get 3 levels and so on. This is great because rare candies do not respect the level cap. Say you are in the final stretch of the game and have lvl200 Pokémons. You can still use a rare candy on them and they will go to lvl 201 and with jars you could get even higher. I got to lvl 204 with 3 jars.

[@NokoTheTaco]

Me with my Lvl 222 G-Max Corviknight who I had been funnelling all candies to for the entire run: =u I also had 3 jars, but my luck was absolutely crazy. That Corviknight was solidly 10 Lvls above the cap at all times and tanked the final boss as I peppered it with status. Crazy part is that the only item it had, besides berries, was its Mushroom. That was my first win today. Corviknight is THE GOAT!

[@NotAMemeticHazard]

You can also press the m key to get into the menu. Also, pickup isn’t really totally random in this game. It takes a random item from your opponent after a battle that they didn’t use up. If you want something non consumable, it’s best to repeatedly use lower damage moves when they are at low health to force them to use up their consumable berries

[@leftlegleg]

It’s really good, fun and also surprisingly difficult. An extremely good start is sneasel because it evolves into weavile literally immediately, which carries early game and can pull a lot of weight later on in the game as it can counter rayquaza, eternarus and a lot of legendaries, especially in the rival fight on floor 145 (where the starter is a boss and they have a legendary) as it can do a lot of damage with ice shard, especially if you’re lucky and get an item like the multi lens (moves hit a second time with no drawback unless you have multiple multi lenses)

[@piplup2884]

I feel like lures just make things worse as they make your team take more damage I've gotten my entire team to lvl 200 without using any lures

[@GodofGoblins]

Yeah lures are risky, but it also increases chances to find Pokémon you want either on your team or future runs. But late game it's rough since they can hurt quite a lot, so it's a risk management thing I feel.

[@delteagle7268]

If you have good moves for doubles it could be a saviour since it gives so much Exp early.

[@keyjiiiii]

only use lures for early game. the point of lures is to circumvent the lack of exp share in the early game. once you get exp share it's no longer necessary to get lures, not unless you're unlucky with your pokemon

[@ValD_119]

imo lures are Endless item coz like, it helps ALOT if you're shiny hunting. Otherwise yea, you can survive without them easy

[@sptflcrw8583]

Lures increase exp gain and increases your chances of finding strong party members

[@Robin280497]

New Update (at least it's different for me since today): When starting a New Game, you now choose the Mode beforehand. Additionally, Endless (and I assume Fusion Endless, I just don't have it yet) now has a Starter limit of 15 Points. Before, and still in Classic, the limit is 10 Points.

[@zombieslayer12695]

getting a technician scyther is a great way to make the early game easier on you and its pretty solid throughout the rest of classic mode.

[@ncitlagi4953]

@@sapphiredraggytheflygon8521 it is super op in early game

[@leftlegleg]

The first 30 floors can make or break a run. If you get something good like the map, a strong pokémon or some good items early like the mega bracelet, it can really help you. The worst part is that it takes a lot of luck and a good run can be swept away simply because you didn’t get an essential item early enough. And the healing items get super expensive. Once i walked into a gym battle on floor 110 and got absolutely destroyed just because i both didn’t get the items i needed and didn’t get the money early on to save for healing before boss battles.

[@leftlegleg]

@@sapphiredraggytheflygon8521 Sudowoodo is also extremely powerful. I caught a random boss sudowoodo and it had decent IVs, not insanely good, but not bad at all. It could solo the first 30 floors before falling off. It gets lots of insanely high power moves early on like wood hammer, hammer arm among others. If it were to have perfect IVs i reckon it could carry easily.

I'm fairly sure that if you have the shiny charm, your chances of hatching shiny eggs also go up. I hatched a batch of maybe 50-60 eggs after I first beat classic and about 4 of those were shiny. Note: It does not need to be the same run, but rather if you have the charm when you pull them from the gacha. I of course have a sample size of 1 and perhaps got very lucky, but it's worth looking into.

[@RMGamer31O]

One good thing to note is that Megas are even better than you realize: they’re toggle-able, even mid fight. It’s really helpful on Mons that change type when they Mega Evolve. Like with Gyarados, for example if you ever wanna drop your dark type from your mega and get the flying type back, you can do that! It’s also relevant for abilities, too? Want Intimate back? De-volve your Gyarados and switch to it. Then you can re-mega them after they’ve sent out.

[@rakurai4953]

If you're looking for a good starter for your run, might I recommend Duraladon? It only costs 5 points and can generally evolve pretty easily because it just needs an item. If you get lucky with your egg moves as well, it has Recover for healing

[@FaustoMartense]

I did not know this existed! Thanks. It looks cool.

[@kazeryuu77gm3]

One of the best mid to late game sweepers in my opinion is drapion. Skorupi is kind of hard to keep alive if you battle with it, but if you keep fell stinger and night slash until it evolves, you have a decently fast Pokémon with night slash, cross poison, fell stinger and a move of your choice(I normally go with toxic for stays and to help catch rarer encounters). It’s fast, fell stinger can get you up to +6 attack with a little maneuvering, and it’s only weakness is ground. Doesn’t even require good egg moves. It hard carried me to the final fight, which unfortunately still wiped me due to the final boss’s typing. Can’t recommend enough.

[@ChonkiiDiaz]

What about regional variants?? How that works, like zigzagoon that is normal type but then there is galar zigzagoon that is a dark type. Like do they evolve even if it's normal or something?? Love the vids by the way, thanks to you I got hooked on this game

[@comrademod4503]

Thanks for all the tips Cal. I got my ass handed to me yesterday by the third elite 4 member, I was so pissed. I legit didn't know anything about the fusions, shinies and the egg maschines, since the game doesn't really tell you about those. Thanks again!

[@Aka60thChip]

For fusions, when you deactivate it, is the second actually gone or is like giganimax/megas where you can toggle them off n on free of charge?

[@quadthelawnmower]

i got a drifloon with minimize and acupressure and i lost a really good run to a pelipper hitting hydro pump through my +6 evasion and critical hitting me lol

[@tadeuszabramowicz4953]

I can't belive that shiny mons are actually dope Looks like ill be using my buneary & drifloon afterall I still can't belive I almost defeated the final boss with a dedenne

[@Shrugzix]

You should definitely make a video with Endless tips as well

[@pyrosfolly5698]

Mega Evolution can be deactivated, as can Gigantamax - I found this out for myself when I had to switch my Blastoise from GMax to Mega

[@monkwave1682]

Honestly I’m happy I just started playing the game today currently at second rival fight from the two gym leaders I have fourght I got an epic and legendary from the epic egg which I’m gassed about I got the palda mammoth from area zero and I’m still waiting on the legandary one which I know will definitely be a while

[@Lucas-AR]

Great video needs tags so you can find your specific points your the only one doing these was trying to learn how to use the tera shards

[@silverfang763]

Literally after this, I did the egg gacha and got two rare, 1 epic and 2 common.

[@firstspectre3928]

so long as you have room in your party, 12:00 you can catch the wild pokemon like zigzagoon if it stole an item and transfer it back.

[@ia1569]

I won my first run after I got a Popplio egg with Torch Song. Punk Rock really helped. 😅

[@adva1282]

TIP For whoever reads this, a little tip for a broken non-legendary starter mon (outside of steel/fairy combo). Stufful with fluffy. Once you manage to hatch/catch one, teach it swords dance + drain punch (I got the latter as an egg move), invest all vitamins and berries you get on it, and I'm not even joking, it SOLOES THE ENTIRE RUN, with the exception of fire types and the obvious final boss. If possible, I recommend pairing it with a Water or Rock type for the Fires, a Steel/Fairy such as Tinkatink for the final boss' first phase and a mon with Leech Seed or Salt Cure to stall the second phase out. Then for the 2 or 3 remaining open slots are to be filled with Pokémon with type coverage or useful abilities such as Pickup. I got a shiny Stufful from an egg and I wanted to use it on a run for the extra luck. That's how I found out how utterly broken it was. Have fun :)

[@fernanyo5138]

Good Video. Thanks!

[@pedrolazarovieirasilva1609]

I mostly get a tecnictian Meowth on my runs cuz of Fake out, he is really good pushing

[@elephant1210]

I have never beatten the game and i have barely any starting pokemon but I have found that flamingo is an insane starting pokemon starting with double kick

[@ajbeasley2771]

The biggest tips I can offer are focus on what moves you have money management what items you have on your mons and keeping them healthy if it helps my first and only winning run so far was agislash secptile blaziken clefable marshadow and archaladon and the only reason I won was king shield and sword dance spam and even then I got lucky because the main boss was an I sacrificed five out of the six members of my team

[@aidanpickard5516]

How do you keep your progress? When I lose the run and leave the game for a bit, I don’t have any of the Pokémon that I’ve found as starters.

[@shadeslayer2297]

I obliterated two runs with dragon dance Gyarados as the main sweeper. One of them I had a garganacl with leech seed support and the other I only had leech seed stall with 2 turn moves. Leech seed makes eternatnus so free.

[@driftingbreath]

thumbnail has that "LEVEL 100 MAFIA BOSS" energy pretty comprehensive video even if I HATE megas grr snarl grr

[@Fredrick_with_that_sauce]

that is not a mega that a Gigax Venusaur

[@Alidesuga]

Get pickup Pokemon like zigzagoon so you can get extra items and berries that will help very much

[@VixYW]

Welp, I wish I knew about the shiny stuff earlier. I thought it was only aesthetic so I went for the egg moves. Oh well...

[@bigballslop]

Something important to note, double battles are not always good for exp gain. The exp shares only give out the exp earned by one of the two mons in to the rest of the party, so single battles are actually unarguably better for xp if you have many experience shares already.

[@thatdiamondofhope]

I know I'm a little late to this but I have a question. When you reduce the cost of a Pokémon, is that temporary just for the run or are they permanent?

[@oneautumnleaff2119]

I'm obsessed with it, even playing on my phone at work lol. I like gacha, I love roguelike/lite and, I like pokemon. It also doesn't require much effort to play haha I'm kinda lazy. I wish egg rates were a bit better though bc I literally only get the same bull crap 24/7.

[@servomst3k]

Thanks for the tips! I had no idea that the pink square meant Pokerus 😅

[@guidegenius6003]

Just recently started playing and I scored a Zygarde Egg from my first Gacha Egg. Today I picked up Tarapagos on Floor 100. I also found a Shiny Wigglet, Iron Jugulas, and Xurktree from other eggs. Xurktree with beast boost has been my best run but I haven’t made any attempts with either of my Legendaries yet; suggestions?

[@smileyfacewithnose7218]

I just beat the game by using a team of only 3 base starters (I did it with Meganium Incineroar Greninja) and I'm having so much fun with these challenge runs
