Pokemon Lunatic Crystal v1.6 - Pokemon League (Will, Koga, Bruno, Karen and Champion Lance)

[@whoknows1726]

My Team would be iksbat, golem, Nine tails, feraligtar, Scheroz. Electabuzz Would be extremly happy to Hear your opinion.

[@whoknows1726]

Or the opinion from anyone Else :)

[@getkosiorekt8345]

I can't make out what Iksbat or Scheroz is lol Do you mean Crobat and Scizor? Electabuzz is a good mixed sweeper which most importantly can spread paralysis, Feraligatr is the Perfect counter against Psychics and can deal with Tyranitar and Blissey if you teach it Submission. Crunch/Submission/Surf/Ice Beam would be a good set. Ninetales has a good typing, Sacred Fire and Hypnosis or Confuse Ray and it's great against Will. Golem with Miracleberry and Rock Slide is one of the most consistent counters against Lance's Aerodactyl, it will be important in E4 run. Crobat is pretty good with Confuse Ray, Sludge Bomb, Fly and Shadow Ball, it can be a great revenge killer. Scizor with Swords Dance and Paralysis support is good, especially if you can get a good Hidden Power, just make sure all the Pokemon the opponent has with Fire Moves are dead. There is also an options of Agility, Swords Dance and Steel Wing, as well as Cut. It's a pretty good team, the most important thing is having ways to beat Lance. You might struggle with Kingdra a bit, but Outrage Feraligatr can beat it if it leads with Toxic.

@@getkosiorekt8345 i changes my Team after a lot more analysis (Typing, Moveset Elit4)--> new Team: Scizor, Steelix, Gengar, Aerodactyl, Machamp, Feraligatr. Not 100% Sure about Scizor.. i also don't have a real ice Typ just Ice Punch with Gengar / Machamp.

I’m on Clair right now but i think i’ll try the league with this team: Aerodactyl Golem Machamp Meganium Blastoise Gengar I’ve also alakazam, ampharos, charizard, arcanine, venosaur, pidgeot, suicune, hypno, articuno, gyarados.. all of them next to level cap so leveling up a little bit is easy Any tips on the team?

[@getkosiorekt8345]

Aerodactyl is a beast with Rock Slide, Sky Attack and Earthquake. In my test runs it was an absolute powerhouse as long as you were certain it would KO or take a hit, that speed is crucial. Meganium is one of the best pivots and Sleep Powder users in the game, I think. It having Outrage and Solarbeam and Earthquake or Synthesis is great. It will be very important for the league. Venusaur can also do similar things, but I think Meganium not being weak to Psychic and resisting Earthquake does give it the edge here. Golem and Rhydon (I've used both) play a very similar role and they are useful to have. I've also used Tyranitar as my Rock type and it's an absolute monster and a great Pivot into Psychic types, having a Pokemon that can easily 1v1 them is important so you might want to consider a Dark type on your team. I would actually suggest Steelix here it has the highest Defense, amazing typing and still hits decently with Earthquake and Iron Tail, having something that will not die to a EQ crit vs Aerodactyl is crucial. Steelix also isn't weak to Ice moves and can take special hits a bit better. You can also catch it in Victory Road. Gengar will make life so much easier vs Lance's Snorlax and coverage with Thunderbolt, Ice Punch and Shadow Ball is all you need, you can even try Destiny Bond strats. Talking about fast Special Attackers I used Alakazam in the league and with Thunder Wave, STAB Psychic and elemental punches it was a Perfect lead and revenge killer, but Gengar being immune to normal and Fighting makes it a great switch and good against Bruno as well. Blastoise is fantastic as you've seen in the vid lol Screens, Mirror Coat and Counter, Surf, Ice Beam, Outrage and Earthquake, so many options and the part Steel typing really lets it stand out. There aren't many better Water types in general, maybe Lapras or Starmie since they have incredible coverage and Starmie has Recover, but Blastoise has the best defensive typing out of all of them. I didn't do it in the vid but running both Counter and Mirror Coat is a great way to eliminate threats that have super effective damage since Blastoise can usually take one super effective blow and kill them in return. Machamp is good, especially when paired with a Quick Claw. You can't really go wrong with Earthquake, Rock Slide and Cross Chop/Submission and it has the power to easily OHKO Dark types, where Typhlosion couldn't quite OHKO Tyranitar, Machamp will have no issue. I would also recommend Heracross, they both have massive ATK, but Heracross is faster and has STAB Megahorn, which when paired with Paralysis support easily lets it eliminate Psychic types as well, though it does have to deal with extra weaknesses. In general these are the two best Fighting types and you can pick up a level 60 Tyrouge as well from the Karate Master, all the Hitmons get Earthquake and Rock Slide now if you want to go with something different, but Machamp and Heracross are the best here. In test runs Heracross was a monster wheb used with caution and support. As for your box, Arcanine is also pretty good with Flamethrower, ExtremeSpeed and Solarbeam, it has Outrage as well so it can do something vs Dragons. Gyarados has Thunder Wave via tutor and gets Earthquake later so it is a pretty good late game option. Alakazam I already talked about. Hypno is a good hard counter vs Psychic types and it can use Thunder Wave so that is pretty valuable. Suicune is a good wall with Screens and Mirror Coat. Articuno has a fantastic STAB combo and Screens, it would be very good vs Dragon types. On topic of Legendaries you can also catch Moltres in Victory Road and with it having Sky Attack, Flamethrower, Solarbeam and Morning Sun it's also a good pick for a fire type. I also see you have no real paralysis spreader, that might be something to look into as that is a very useful strategy to use. Meganium has Stun Spore I suppose so you could go with that and have Gengar use Hypnosis, but that's inconsistent lol I think overall your team is solid and it should get you through, on paper it's better than mine lol

@@getkosiorekt8345 I usually use sleep powder on meganium instead of paralyzes Against clair my machamp with quick claw managed to beat her 4 first pokemons lol i got so luck Then used aerodactyl and meganium to beat the rest

[@MegasXRL]

I’m finally on Elite 4 Man that victory road was tough had to go to elm’s lab heal my pokemon after every battle God bless fast forward on emulators I’ll try to beat them with that team like i’ve said Blastoise Meganium Aerodactyl Golem Machamp Gengar Lets see what happens

[@ClaptonsWig]

Pocket PC heals when you deposit and withdraw? Now that I say that I don’t know if it does

[@getkosiorekt8345]

@@ClaptonsWig It does, yes, due to how the PC data is stored. Depositing a Pokemon automatically fully restores their HP and PP. That's why the PC Pocket is disabled in places like the Rocket Hideout, Radio Tower or Indigo Plateau

[@MegasXRL]

I’ve finally managed to beat them with my team (golem, Aerodactyl, machamp, meganium, blastoise and Gengar) Will was very easy, golem killed like 3/4 of his pokes and aerodactyl beat the rest Koga was a fair fight used the entire team Bruno too, but Golem and Aerodactyl beat a good amount of them Karen was a good match. On the final of the fight i was only with machamp against her tyranitar and 0 pp left for cross chop or dynamicpunch, machamp was at 135 hp and tiranitar hit with earthquake. I got to 40hp, killed him in submission and the match end in a tie LOL I’ve used save state like 10 times and always died from that submission move so i need to restart the match Then i proceed to beat her Lance was a good fight I’ve used the entire team and a bit of save states on the start I’ll try another run someday without any save state. But most of them were used because i didn’t used the best moves against my enemies, i’m not the best pokemon maniac and the changes on types you’ve made sometimes makes our choices feels dumb But anyway that was a pretty solid experience. Now i’ll move to post game content One question: if I beat elite four another time before any kanto gyms does they will have another level cap? Or that will lock the rematches from Johto? Should i try elite four again only after Beating Blue?

[@getkosiorekt8345]

There are no caps in Kanto since this is post game content and they can be challenged in any order. Making checks for every leader in Kanto would be just time and space consuming. You don't need to worry about level caps as beating Lance for the first time sets it to 100 and is always programmed to set it to 100 once you beat his first team. As for the rematches against the Elite Four, you unlock them after getting all 16 badges, if you were to challenge them before that they will use the R1 teams, so ideally you'd fight them again after beating Blue. If you enter Indigo Plateau then the Johto Leader rematches will be unavailable until you beat Lance again, since this is how the game resets the E4 and allows you to fight them again. Also you will want to visit the Pokemon League after Blue since the mart sells Rare Candies for 10 Pokedollars once you have all the badges, that is so you won't have to grind for the two final mandatory fights of the hack.

@@getkosiorekt8345 ok, i’ll have that in mind When i finish everything i’ll came back here but so far I’m really enjoying the rom One question: how much difficulty would be to implement playing with different characters sprites? That could give some replayability to the hack

[@ClaptonsWig]

Found a bug in game but not sure if only for delta emulator: having fast forward and holding B at same time, you can’t use B on main story menu. Can use it for everything else fine and dandy, just not to close out menu. If you go into your bag and scroll down past Cancel, it will soft lock the game and your progress is gone

[@getkosiorekt8345]

I'll be honest, in all the test runs that I've done on mGBA I've never encountered this bug. I went into the menu and the bag and it's impossible to scroll down past cancel, it stops at cancel. Perhaps it's an emulator glitch then, I haven't heard anyone else playing this update having this exact problem

[@ClaptonsWig]

That’s what I figured cause it happens like sonic where it’s going so fast it will just sonic its way past cancel and glitch out. The other issue I’ve had was entering cheat codes. None of them work and one has the warden from Nat Park announcing I won. Think might be same thing, emulator glitch

[@getkosiorekt8345]

@@ClaptonsWig Nah, the cheats don't work because with all the edits to the hack a lot index values changed and that affects the Cheat Codes

[@MegasXRL]

I’m playing On delta emulator and I don’t have that bug The bug i have is that the npcs sometimes appears in wrong places.. like three or four blocs to the wrong side (but just their sprite, if you talk to him he will be on the correct spot)

@@getkosiorekt8345 some cheats worked for me on virtual boy advanced. I could give myself some master balls, managed to use the 1 hit kill cheat and even chance wild encounters (and put the shiny pokemon cheat)
