Hey Callum do you know if items like grip claw stack in PokeRogue? I checked the reddit and discord but can't find an answer. Vids have been really helpful, thanks.

You answered that in the video :p nvm

Fantastic video bro 🤜

For the biggest hurdles, by far the best starter is sneasel, as it becomes a weavile as low as level 6, as long as it’s night. It can 2-shot the rayquaza with icicle crash without any boosts at all. Its speed stat isn’t necessary as it can also use ice shard.

@@braden9715 The grip claw does stack. I’ve used it in a run and my tyrantrum was stealing much more items with 2 grip claws.

thank you ❤

@@HoodlumCallum friend wheres the option to turn down advance hardware or something? cause im having fps and lag issues....

​@@Shindro69 same :( game crashes sometimes and I have to redo the last battle

@@jo40p3dr0 i got the same yesterday...

@@Shindro69 normally its a setting on the browser, not the game, :) hope it works

Nice strat !

This was what I used to beat it the second time hehe

That makes SO much more sense actually, I was wondering how I kept getting pokerus lmfao

THIS, a Flamigo dealt the final blow to the final boss for me

Was gonna say if no one else would, with proper set up it'll even 1-2 shot the final boss

damn just used flamigo in my run and damn he didnt disappoint

True, this guy almost demolished my whole team at first, but then I managed to catch him and he didn't disappoint

Nah, lemme one up u here: I chose flamigo as my starter and had a pure power medicham in my party, I got lucky and got the dna splicer and fused flamigo and pure power medicham into an abomination with 175 attack. This thing one shot most mons in the late game and carried me so hard against eternatus 😭😭 (zen headbutt + twisted spoon + stab + pure power on a relatively fast mon is insane)

the best sleeper for me was mega venusaur thanks to his bulk and thick fat providing a fire weakness

It usually has Lum berries tho

@@darfoz8807 It only has Lum berries if it steals them from you. Before the final fight you can transfer all your Lum berries to a Pokémon you don't plan on using to avoid this happening.

@@ezrilgames5675 u sure? i remember eternatus always holding lumberries

@@darfoz8807 Yes he is holding 1 berry so you have to make him use it

AVERAGE POPPLIO W

common popplio W

Ivy at 147 is so devious dawg

ice ice ninetails baby. The best because it negates all dragon (rayquaza outrage spam) and uses Ice which is a 4x against that asshole and with her other dragons.

@@iseegreen5297 aint she at 145

Can confirm. Excadril saved my 195 battle. I SD'd and barely survived the attack to spam EQ for win.

Its passive is Sandstorm. Couple that with Sand rush and Excadrill becomes insane after a swords dance

@@BorisTheGoose92 Yep, swords dance once and it will kill any non boss mon in one hit and even many of those lol. He has bailed me out of many fights lol.

@@ismailb4334 Yeah im dumb, I thought his passive was his other ability so you could run sand rush and force on him but needed sand still so i lowered his cost. Still need like 15 more candies for the passive. Got near perfect ivs, missing 1 def, and a sp def.

@rossstrickland1722 Ah lol. Yeah his passive is insane since you can have both sandstorm and sand rush

Correct

I was Unaware that it would work so well against him

I don’t have slowbro

How

Alr bro, I might have to use the bro that I have been sleeping on. Bro.

3. Experience groups*: I think a lot of people don't consider this too much for this game, I think it massively affects the early game where exp is hard to secure. I think that Medium Slow group is the mons to train for the early game with Medium Slow and Fast groups decent as well since they tend to require less Exp earlier on. Late game when exp can be secured easily then the exp groups don't matter as much. Mons like lax or gyara maybe powerful, but their slow exp gain may keep them underleveled for a long time. There are plenty of powerful mons in the exp groups above and they will have an easier time being leveled. Granted, take this with a grain of salt. I'm assume experience works the same as in the mainline games, but I haven't found any information confirming that it doesn't. It's possible that exp is standardized, in which case, disregard this. 4. Early Game fetches: Of course, early game should prioritize 1-3 carries, but having bodies to sack off in a pinch is never bad. If you don't want to use the FWG core you get at the start of the game, some strong alternate choices exist (for the early game at least). Meowth and Nymble has been gone over, but there are some other decent choices too. Any normal type with Fake Out like Skitty and Glameow can be decent choices. Bidoof with simple can set up Defense Curl and then later Curse/Amnesia easily later on. Zigzagoon has the pickup ability plus early access to headbutt. Wattrel just has good typing with Electric/Flying. Finally, Caterpie can evolve into Butterfree by floor 11. Compoundeyes Sleep Powder mean almost 100% accurate sleep, which is always useful, plus if you get it's GMax form, it can gain bulk which in conjunction with Sleep Powder, help it spam Quiver Dance and then sweep with Air Slash and Bug Buzz. Strong single stage mons are also a priority since they let you muscle through tough fights and can go toe to toe with other single stage mons from trainers which would be dangerous to your mostly unevolved team. 5. The Rival: Probably the most dangerous battles in the game outside of the final boss. Knowing when they spawn and making sure your team is healthy enough to fight them is vital. They are often run killers. They switch often so double switching and hitting the enemy with super effective coverage moves are an effective strategy. Using pivot moves on a predicted switch is great too since switching goes first and you can see what the rival pivoted into and choose the appropriate mon. The rival will have one starter and one regional bird. I find that Staraptor tends to be the hardest to deal with due to intimidate. Be sure to have money saved up before the battle too, as your team may be severely weakened and needs healing items to carry the run. Finally, be sure to have Flying/Dragon resist as later on, Ray will be tough to defeat. Steel and Fairy types are great choices and anything Ice is good to fire on its quad weakness. If you can lock it into Outrage, your Steel/Fairy type can have a turn or two of free setup before Ray can act again. 6. Strong Moves: Sleep Moves, Leech Seed, Healing Moves and Boosting moves but those already mentioned. Other moves that are useful include status moves (tic damage is good on bosses, stat drops are great, burn can cripple any physical attack boss) though look out for Lum Berries, reflect and light screen are great for softening the damage for teammates switching in and stat debuffs are great to weaken tough enemies. I personally enjoy Attack and Special Attack moves like Snarl, Charm and Breaking Swipes as well as Speed drop moves if I don't have access to paralysis or fighting an electric type such as Icy Wind. Sucker Punch is just a base 70 priority move in this game and First Impressions is a strong starting move. Covet and Thief can steal enemy items which is good. 7. Having a strong defensive core: Later in the game, when your exp. gains are secure and your team is set, it is important have a team that have strong defensive synergy as the game will toss out a variety of strong mons with different types which will require your mons to be able to switch into powerful moves of all types and being able to resist them will mean your team will less damaged for the next round and less healing resources and money needs to be spent, and your mons are less likely to die and your less likely to be swept. 8. Types to look out for: Grass Types: Oddly enough, I find Grass to be really useful type in this game. Being able switch into Water and Ground types and hit them super effective is really good but they are also immune to powdered moves as well as having access to strong moves like Leech Seed, Synthesis, Sleep Powder and Spore. Also, a lot of biomes have predominantly water and ground/rock types, plus it's not uncommon for it to be raining in these biomes. That means a Grass type can more easily switch into dangerous rain boosted attacks and hit back for super effective damage. Water Types: There's a lot of biomes that house Rock and Ground types and it resists Steel types which is nice. It can also use rain to boost in its moves but most mons you'll run into are most likely water types too so... Steel Types: Resist a lot of types and can cover for a lot of defensive holes, also tends to be bulky, which is nice for switching into. Bulky steels pair well with Curse. Of course, it resist Ray and Eternatus which is huge. Immune to Poison is a nice bonus. Fairy Types: Strong type in general. Tends to have strong special attackers. Immune to Dragon. Strong into Ray if they can resist Dragon Ascent. Ghost Types: Lacks defensive synergy so it can risky to use on a team that is defensively lacking but a terrific offensive type. Ghost is only resisted by normal and dark. Often has access to Will-o-wisp which is a great move. 9. Look at the top right corner: Look at the items the enemy mon is holding, especially if it's a boss or trainer mon and especially at higher levels, be sure to check what items will proc and give what effects. You don't want accidentally proc a bunch of pinch berries on a low health boss and get swept. 10. Take a break: Unless you're use to doing intense runs for hours without losing focus and especially if you're getting tilted, take a break. Take the time to relax and recuperate before returning to the run. One careless mistake can spell doom for the entire run after all. 11. Don't give up: Even if you're in a tough situation, down to your last mon, underleveled, low HP and no money, don't give up. The RNG may bless you and give you weaker enemies, good items or good RNG during your battles to let you claw your way back. My first run, there was a good ~15 floors where I only had Meowscarda left and no money, but Meow carried and was able to build enough money to revive/replace my team. That's probably all I can think of. Of course, it's just my opinion and I could be totally wrong (especially 3) and sub optimal, but at the very least, I hope this helpful to newcomers!

@@justintsui2522 thank you this is very helpful and insightful I never gave up i will cheese the game by refreshing my run when going thru elite members and stuff and id always win them with my team cus i will practice what pokemon they switch in I feel like ppl should do that instead of doing it all over again and accept defeat cus believe me I could’ve lost lost of times but bc i was smart enough to reload the website I won my battles wish me luck tho cus Im close to facing of enternius

This deserves top comment, appreciate this fr

Yeah, and you can sometimes cycle through a few related biomes to give yourself even more chances to see certain mons or to hit rare biomes

Could use tinkaton for both

I got so lucky with delphox that , I got its egg move torch song and on the way I found stored power and multi-lens. So broken it carried me till first 100 stages .

I had one run that ended on the first rayquaza fight, and while it was doomed no matter how I played it, reverting my Mega Charizard X to a normal Charizard gave me a slightly better outcome due to opponent move choices in the first couple rounds. It wasn’t by much, and I still got swept by everything else, but I was only ever able to drop the Rayquaza when I had a normal charizard, not X.

thanks for the advice trying differen starter combos to beat calssic

@shahzarsshowshow4441 definitely popplio is a must. Been running froakie too with battle bond which has been amazing aswell, especially with the dark typing later too, but if you have mewtwo it's a no brainer as mega mewtwo-y is unbelievably powerful

As well as early fake out and technician

can approve since my jumpluff that started as my starter has been on my side till I lost on 145

unfortunately Vivillon now has Moonblast in place of Life Dew because imagine having a fast healer lmao

it is normal that early runs doesnt go more than 35 floors?

@@Shindro69 There are some possible chokepoints if you don't have decent team and/or luck with items.

@@Shindro69 Unfortunately yeah, until you're able to get better mons and some luck in shops/encounters you're gonna have a hell of time making it past the 20s. Keep catching mons you think will be useful for their candies, hatch eggs whenever you get vouchers for them, and remember that you CAN in fact run from most bosses if they're gonna wipe you (at the cost of the potential EXP)

Multi-lens you mean for the item ig

Primarina also gets Torch Song as an egg move. Insane.

imo it always has avlue since you can pick stages you can clear with ease. which my late game is important

I mean, assuming you always pick a fire/water/grass trio, the odds are 1 out of 9^3 or 1/729, so while not astronomically low, still pretty low. And that’s just if the starters are chosen randomly. The odds could be lower (or higher) depending on people’s favorites or familiarity (or lack thereof) of the pokemon, so who knows. (And if you do just randomly pick without a fire/water/grass trio, it’s 1 out of ((27*26*25)/6) or 1/2925 (with the same caveat about favorites/familiarity).
