PokeRogue Tips for DNA Splicing | PokeRogue Endless Guide | Pokemon Roguelike

[@gtgeli7218]

I'm a big fan of Sturdy + Metal Burst/Protect/Soak/Salt Cure. With max leftovers, max healing charm, max berry pouch, and max berries, you can basically tank whatever the first hit is to get off a soak, protect next turn to hopefully get to max health, salt cure, protect, then Metal Burst to heal to full every turn and deal usually around half health every turn. Other point of setup with this is a -Spd nature and 10 soul dews to make sure you always go last. Another one I like is Skill Link with a multi hit move with Multi Lens/Kings Rock to create a 20 hit move that should in theory flinch every time. This with Mini Black Hole lets you steal effectively all items from an opponent. For early stages, I like using any Mon with Contrary and a normally stat-reducing move. Snivy is amazing for this because its egg moves are all stat-reducing moves outside of Flamethrower, but it has Fleur Cannon which has a BP of 130 and is a Fairy type move so you can sweep through early Endless pretty quickly.

[@Valancet]

I do multilense with multihit moves and skill link so much. I think flinching has to scale differently in this game though. Like, I've gotten off 30+ hits with max kings rocks on eternatus before and then him not flinch. Which is technically possible, but EXTREMELY unlikely

[@m3rry_g0ing]

Rock smash is generally enough to flinch with 4x kings rock and 4x multilens, bonus being a spread move.

[@fortherng3847]

​@@Valancet necroposting but aren't gigantamax mons (including e-max eternatus) immune to flinching? cause else that's be a funny thing to also happen to me on e-max eternatus specifically

[@masterrdf418]

in reference to what you said about "once you dna splice, you can't recover from that", there is a way to unsplice your pokemon if you just go into your pokemon menu and select the fused mon

[@Valancet]

True, I meant to say you can't recover the secondary pokemon

[@FrostyFyre]

You lose the second mon, only the primary stays

[@ProjectAceTV]

Hey we should try splicing up a collab!

[@Valancet]

@@ProjectAceTV that's a great idea!

[@loganbrackin2160]

Dna splicing is very difficult, and I barely understand it. This video will help a lot, thank you!

[@P4p4su]

A tip for everyone fuse nincada with any Pokémon using nincada second n when nincada evolves it'll duplicate the first Mon I did this with zacian now I have one fused with cloyster with skill link and a shedinja fused one with wonder guard

[@SurfNturfz]

I've seen/heard splicing explained 20 times.. and as someone who played gens 1-4 religiously as a kid; and now pokerogue religiously the past 5 weeks, I still pass on the splicer 99% of the time because idk what to fuse 😂

[@itsmaxy9806]

Same

[@MissinDaSylveon]

The best fusion I believe I came up with was Sylveon + Heatran. I have the passive Simple and egg move No Retreat on Sylveon. I was also lucky enough to get a stored power tm as well. Heatran is the second Mon in this fusion to give Sylveon the most broken type combo with one of its two weaknesses being completely negated. I’m currently on wave 1151 now and this fusion is doing amazing!

[@Je-dace]

Ive gotten the dna splicer in classic a ton of times so i was really surprised when you said it was rare

[@christophersadri6464]

doesn't eternatus now have flamethrower which kinda stops the tinkaton cheese?

[@valleyard8674]

For a tinkaton cheese now there would be a need for the end fusion to be with a Dachsbun with well baked body to be immune to the fire type attack There are other ways, but I believe this is the better-ish one (Mostly leaving this here for anyone that sees this and wants to do the strat or a similar one lol)

[@Qassim-ov6sw]

​@valleyard8674 any fairy type with heatran(flash fire) gives it an immunity to dragon fire and poison. Making it immune to eternatus

[@konstantinnichts3905]

I still have the question if I should splice or not

[@pWndConan]

My absolut first DNA Spliced Pokemon was a Torterra with Shell Smash and Simple, he crushed everything :D Thanks for the Tipps! Looking forward to DNA Splice all kinds of Abilities!

[@Valancet]

That sounds amazing!

[@ShadySandwich54]

In a classic run of mine, I managed to get my hands on a monstrous combination of frosslass fused with xurkitree. Bolt beam coverage, Beast boost, And also earth power as an egg move Needless to say that I won that run quite easily

[@Valancet]

That sounds amazing!

[@Gondroval]

aaaand now I finally know where to go to release and unsplice because I totally did not think about doing that during a fight -.-

[@christophersadri6464]

Splicing M.gyarados and toucannon (after splicing gyarados with a cloyster for icicle spear), then giving the pokemon multi lenses, grip claws and every multi hit move in the game (dragon scale, bullet seed, rock blast, icicle spear). is super viable until around stage 3K, it also meant i had over 100 of each item (things like silk scarf etc) from the grip claws by around stage 1.5K. Gyarados was just an atk stat slapper, could be replaced.

[@typhlosion7872]

The only ones I've done are Tinkadrill, Excados, and Gyaradrill. Gyarados as the first mon can be broken with so much because Multiscale passive is wild

[@Ikiguyy]

Playing a classic run and got DNA splicers as my 6th Item haha, didn't wanna muck things up!

[@cee_ves]

if you’ve never tried a dedenne in classic with the stats of tapu ko ko, electric surge, pixilate, and boom burst, i cannot recommend it more. that mouse is a menace

[@Falcondudes]

Love how this is explained as if you have free choice of who you're splicing together.... you can only choose within your team so forget about knowing in advance who you're splicing together. Whatever team you have when you get the dna splicer in your reward list, good luck, thats the team you gonna mash up together. We dont all do runs with the same pokemon as this guy. Im at wave 12 in the daily run with snorlax, greedent, Trump's twin, ditto, Fletchinder and frogadier. The chances of getting a dna splicer when your team is at peak power and you're happy with them... is very small. Good luck with your splicing

[@Valancet]

@Falcondudes I died at Trump's twin lol The video was mostly to explain the mechanics and how combinations work, the examples I gave were just so you could understand how to decide good combos. A sidenote though is that splicing really only matters in endless mode where you're going to easily be able to gather what you want after 100s or 1000s of waves. Also, you'll have gotten more DNA splicers at that point than you'll know what to do with. Endless mode is basically built to depend on you splicing good combinations if you want to progress reliably.

[@synapsayer]

my first run, i rolled a splicer on my first reward shop i fused my bulbasaur and fuecoco and that run i lost to the rival battle around 90 because their entire team countered mine

[@ShelfGod]

So I'm fairly new to endless but I just fused my dewgong and mega pidgeot for no guard sheer cold

[@FrostyFyre]

My Mega Skekazam (multi-lens, kings rock, torch songing setup Mega Alakazam + Skeledirge) carried me until floor 3001 (minus a fusion for eternatus) where I had to start using runaway

[@joshgstern]

Have more pokemon got their sprites animated?

[@hhhhuuuuhhh]

i have a Mega mewtwo Y but i'm too afraid to fuse it on 😅

[@Zhivlo]

For a good carry mon mewtwo with calyrex shadow or ice rider depending on which horse you want to use

[@evansnapp714]

Great explainer! Thanks. That's unfortunate that you forgot to unsplice and just let Tinkaydol get KO'd. What do you think would be a good pairing for Dracovish? It have one with good IV's and Luck, but I can't seem to keep it alive in endless

[@Valancet]

@evansnapp714 idk anything specific, but something fast with high attack could make Fishous Rend hit hard since he could outspeed a little more reliably. Or something that could give him Drizzle, if you have Swift Swim unlocked

[@evansnapp714]

@@Valancet Big thanks

[@AnUndeadOath]

What’s better than making a dark/Shedinja fusion is a fusion with Shedinja that’s got sturdy. Mix that up with magic guard and I’d say you’re set

[@FrostyFyre]

Fairy/Ghost shedinja fusion is my fav. Only weak to steel/ghost, which nothing aside from I think fluttermoon might have in endless after the point where you’re using run strats

[@jackstern5737]

Anyone else end up with dna splicer more than master ball and relic gold like 5-10x as much as something like lock capsule? Apparently the relic gold is rarer, but is close to rogue balls in theory and the master ball is the same as dna splicer in odds

[@Valancet]

I seem to get relic gold constantly in my runs

[@jackstern5737]

@@Valancet Yeah. I feel like if I have less than the value of the relic gold is already banked, it becomes more common, but idk if my sample is is large enough, or if this is even remotely true

[@Valancet]

@jackstern5737 ya, it could just be us noticing it more. Definitely seems more common than they say it is though

[@xMrMayhemx]

eternatus now has flamethrower which sadly 1hits tinkaton but you still can cheese the fight by switching between a fairy-steel type and a mon with flash fire.

[@jackthalmann6763]

Metagross with levitate passive and daschbund with well baked body fire immunity. Fairy steel type, immune to dragon, poison, fire, and ground. Eternity’s can’t touch

I had a Weavile/Furfrou fusion once (named Weou). Fur Coat is an interesting ability.

[@alekwalker757]

So I have been playing for the past 2 days got one in my run and passed it up. What pokemon have you guys fused with that worked well? The only one I know of is Nacli and Tinkaton

[@hhhhuuuuhhh]

i made a mistake by spliced on Electrive and palafin, i thought my electrive will be stat boosted by "Zero to Hero" but my pokemon didn't boost the stat 😅 now my electrive became a lanturn 😂

[@FrostyFyre]

I ruined my endless run 800 floors in by making my nincada fusion but blocking his evo and then losing the option to evo because the primary mob I fused him with didn’t have the option to evo so I was left with a nincada fusion 😭

[@PoseidonQuake]

i had a 0.2% luck on my classic playthrough and got a dna splicer i was level 50 mons and i fused my blastoise with toxapex and they are such a good combo together

[@jackstern5737]

I’ve gotten like at least 20 dna splicers and a probably like 10 healing charms in classic mode. Other than that Ive barely had 5 master tier items, and I got 2 of those on my first lo g run (lost at final rival fight with 2 master balls. It was nice to get Articuno, Latios, and Deoxys (one was with rogue balls, i think latios) so early on though. Deoxys is quite good imo and mega latios is ridiculously good. Weird how it’s worked out for me since I haven’t caught or even seen many legendaries since. Where are my master balls?! And how have I kot gottwn a single shiny charm, even if pointless in classic in most cases

[@jackstern5737]

Forgot multi lens is master tier. Gotten like 20 of them in classic too, but never gotten 2 in classic. And g-max gengar x regice was what I ended up unlocking spliced endless mode.

[@felix5728]

Started a new account, got 3 splicers on my first classic run. Didn't know about the new teams and ended up getting stomped out

[@suhybemurtadha3192]

Let say I DNA splice Mawile & Regigas before it mega evolved. For stat boost After it mega, will change it ability to Huge Pwr or it'll stay with Slow Start?

[@Valancet]

As long as Regigigas is the first pokemon you choose, you'll get Mawile's ability. So once you mega evolve the Mawile, you'll get Huge Power. Just make sure Regi is the first one you pick or you'll be stuck with Slow Start

[@Kaiba2393]

I am using mega kangaskhan with dynamax machamp for parental bond stab power-up-punch

I'm noob playing Pokemon and I have a question, what's that lil medal on top of some of his pokemons and how do I get it in Pokerogue?

[@Alpha-jv9gt]

The medal you get for beating classic mode with the pokemon

[@TheFieryVictini]

My only question is if I fused two shinies together then unfuse them do I keep the combined shiny luck?

[@tombstone631]

That is the big question for me as well

[@crisscore157]

There are even pokemon, where ability/passive wise i dont rly know if splicing is worth it. Example is regigigas. The normalize hidden ability is pretty good, but you cant hit any ghost types. Thats where its passive Mind's eye has rly good synergy, bc it lets you hit ghost types with normal attacks. Splicing regigigas as second can just straight up ruin your pokemon. It works perfectly fine by itself tho

[@danieltran93]

I did Archaludon with Dachsbun ability well-baked ability

[@andreabortolotto2761]

I found one in classic at level 161 without increase luck, shiny or capsule

[@Duckguy08]

my good splice is a silvally with fairy memory spliced with kartana so i have a beast boost steel fairy with a 120 base power fairy move

One time I fused a kyogre lvl 2000+ with a killowatrell 1000+ with kyogre first, and it went to the 1000's again, basically develed my kyogre, can u explay why did it happen?

[@Valancet]

Hmmm, not sure. I've only ever seen it keep the first Pokemon's level. Maybe it was a glitch?

[@ElRobStudios]

@@Valancet Maybe so... It made the run useless unfortunately lol

[@pedroserranoviejo2224]

So if i fuse a non shiny to a tier 3 shiny i can defuse It and my non shiny has shiny luck?

[@Valancet]

@pedroserranoviejo2224 no, their luck combines while fused, but once you unsplice them the one you have left will go back to its original luck

[@draft897]

I’ve done mewtwo and Shedinja for wonderguard neuroforce but I can’t work out if the stats are fine because if the stats are fine it’s is busted cause it’s got two weaknesses and I got shell smash aswell

[@Valancet]

The only bad this is Shedinja has pretty terrible stats so Mewtwos's amazing stats would be brought down to mediocre

[@Valancet]

Then again, if you can't get hurt by what you're fighting, I guess your stats aren't super important

[@DeeeBar]

Just so u guys know i spliced my aegislash with well baked body dachbun for a steel/fairy type immune to fire but it broke the aegislash cause he lost his stance change ability and was stuck in defense form

I never plan for dna spicers and end up with a lot unused. Mega mega gallade x skrelp, g-max gengar x regice, and the suprisingly good clodsire x lechonk (only wild shiny from classic w near perfect Iv’s, crazy easy eternetus with tera ground and just really good with any tera that fit the. Moveset or help w matchups like tera normal) were all in winning classic mode parties and were all very good despite minimal expectations. Had a lot that didn’t work though. Had a a tinkaton x mega alakazam, mega latios x skelidurge (misclick), iron hands x gmax charizard, and more I forgot were all disappointing and worse than both of the original versions. Need to get more hidden abilities and passives to make the most of it.

[@Its_Asteria]

I generally tend to try to use splicers when I get them. Even if I'm not prepared for them. Usually I see it as an opportunity to combine move pools on two pokemon that are very similar, it opens up space for me to get another useful Mon that I also like. Generally I have Linoone or something with pickup in my party so if I get splicers, I usually fuse the linoone with a useful but not as often used, Mon. This keeps my pickup Mon but also makes it so I have an extra space in my party for a potential hard hitter

[@raikaria3090]

I got an early DNA Splicers [2nd biome] on my Gen 3 run. I fused my Red Shiny Plusle with a surskit. Once Surskit evolved; this resulted in a decently fast, decent sp.atk; Electric/Flying type with Intimidate. Zapdos at home. Except it got Quiver Dance and had Glitzy Glow; a Psychic move which sets up Light Screen. Mini Zapdos was surprisingly useful in spite of a mediocre at best BST.
