Changelog 11.12.2025: Updated the chat font, which now supports many characters that were previously unsupported. Updated the in-battle poison icons so poisoned and badly poisoned can be visually distinguished. Added a workaround for a class of bugs that caused the client UI to become unresponsive. It is possible to drag Pokémon directly from the PC Storage into the trade window now, including region-locked Pokémon. The Region Locked Megathread Service is discontinued. Players can now own up to 1,056 Pokémon by default, six in the team and 1,050 in the PC Storage. The Box-Full icon only reflects the status of the PC Storage. This means the PC Storage can be full while you can still catch Pokémon if your team is not full. Improved the PC Storage Search parser. It should now work more naturally and consistently in some situations. There is no longer a limit for search results in PC Storage. Added box= filter to PC Storage Search. Added Pokémon Tags in PC Storage. You can use as many characters for tags as fit into the window visually. You can create up to 30 custom tags. A Pokémon can have any number of tags assigned. As soon as a Pokémon has at least one tag assigned, it gets a tag icon in the box. All assigned tags are shown when hovering over (hold on mobile) the tag icon in storage. Pokémon with at least one tag cannot be deleted. Tags that are assigned to at least one Pokémon cannot be deleted. You can delete them once they are removed from all Pokémon. You can search Pokémon with tags using Tag=. The following emotes can be used both for tags and in chat (except :poop:): :fire:, :bolt:, :droplet:, :boom:, :heart:, :leaf:, :poop:, :pumpkin:, :snowflake:, :star: Added autocomplete to PC Storage Search. The autocomplete suggestions include results that can be found with different filters. Some autocomplete suggestions are colored red if no Pokémon in your box matches them. You can cycle through selections using tab, and apply a suggestion with space or mouse click. Added new legendary mounts and their shiny counterparts to the PvP Coin Shops. Cosmog Mount Baby Lugia Mount Lunala Mount Full Moon Lunala Mount Magearna Mount Magearna Mount Original Manaphy Mount Neutral Mode Xerneas Mount Added a few new Chromas for Easter Mimikyu, HW Bronzor-family, and some new forms. We plan to focus more on Chromas in the future. Coded Mirror Armor. Coded Mind's Eye. Coded Blood Moon. Coded Gigaton Hammer. Coded Focus Band. Trace will no longer remain stored after you Mega Evolved when you hadn't the occasion to activate Trace before Mega Evolving. Fixed an issue where Future Sight could incorrectly bypass Substitute. Multi-hit moves making contact will stop their execution after their user faints off an opposing Rocky Helmet/Iron Barbs/Rough Skin. Clear Body/similar now will activate for its user to deny the stat-lowering effect from the move that was Magic Bounce'd back at itself. White Herb now will activate when its holder got its Attack lowered by King's Shield. Your Pokémon's Analytic now will trigger in due times when you are the one who started the battle. Acupressure now is affected by Contrary and Simple. A user's Substitute will stop counting as “alive” the turn it breaks. This allows opposing multi-hit moves to trigger effects if they would hurt the user with more hits after the hit responsible for breaking the Substitute within the same turn. This also fixes Rage Fist getting its Power boosted when its user's Sub would take the hit and other interactions in general. The holder's White Herb will no longer be consumed if it used a offensive stat-lowering move making contact like Close Combat and fainted because of the opposing Rocky Helmet/Rough Skin/Iron Barbs. Fixed multiple issues related to Abilities still active the turn their user fainted by changing the ability method. Unnerve, Magic Bounce and others in general should no longer remain active the turn their user fainted, including with a Mega Pokémon fainting interaction. Clangorous Soul now targets its own user, allowing it to no longer fail against a Soundproof user. Misty Terrain/Misty Surge now will protect grounded users from Toxic Spikes. Beak Blast now will burn its opponent whoever started the battle. Focus Punch user will no longer lose its focus when its Substitute took damage. Arceus holding a removable item like Leftovers/Life Orb will now be affected by item-manipulative effects such as Knock Off, Trick etc. Knock Off now will gain its 50% Power boost against an Arceus whose item is removable like Leftovers/Life Orb etc. Knock Off no longer triggers Multitype message when used against Arceus holding one of its 17 Plate. Bug, Dark and Ground Memory held by Silvally will no longer be affected by item-manipulative effects such as Knock Off etc. which make the 17 Memory equal now. Knock Off hitting a Sticky Hold user now can remove its held item as long as it would faint from that Knock Off. Magic Guard will no longer print a preventive message when its user is either poisoned/badly poisoned or burnt. Reworked and improved the stat change logic for all existing moves/abilities/items. New "won't go any higher" and "won't go any lower" messages were born to make a clear distinction between stat-increasing and lowering effects going above +6 and -6 respectively, replacing the "already reached its limit" message that was printed for both positive and negative stat changes alike. All positive and negative stat change messages now will display using this priority order: Positive stat changes 1st, negative ones 2nd, "won't go any higher" 3rd and "won't go any lower" 4th. All stat change messages linked to stats directly now will display using this priority order: ATK, DEF, SPATK, SPDEF, SPD, ACC, EVA. An example, Quiver Dance will always display "SPATK, SPDEF and SPD rose!" instead of a random order. All stat change effects boosting/decreasing multiple stats by the same amount were shortened into one single message: Example, Shell Smash will print "X's ATK, SPATK and SPD sharply rose!" as the 1st message, then "X's DEF and SPDEF fell!" as the 2nd message. Destiny Bond will be kept active for its user if the opponent switched out in the same turn. The flickering in the regular Android client might be fixed now.

Let me start by saying I hope to continue doing this next year. That is, if I continue playing next year. This year of PRO has been a lot of fun at times, and not a lot of fun at other times. I try too hard sometimes to try to prove each team is "worthy," and at times, this feels a bit forceful and time consuming, leading to many games to be played that shouldn't have been played. But, regardless, it has been fun talking to my fellow friends/teambuilders/partners in crime in chat and discussing with them the pros and cons of each team and how to improve it. I think with the new additions (boots, new pokemons), it's time to move on from these teams. I know a lot of people on ladder like to "copy" my teams already, and I know there are a lot of bootleg teams out there. Most of them probably got the teams pretty close to correct. But hey, nothing beats the real thing right. I am posting them because I don't mind people using them to play, but I am really really hoping that I can reach a couple of you teambuilders and inspire new ideas. Please keep in mind these teams might not feel very effective in pvp because they are relics of the past. I will try to link every team with a season, but my memory is very hazy and I skipped some months, so I will probably not be getting all of them correct. January PVP Season Pokepaste: 1) ☆☆ https://pokepast.es/a710f104e2140d35 2) ☆☆☆☆ https://pokepast.es/c872e403fa475a68 This is the season after my return to PRO. Technically, I returned in December, but I don't even remember what I used. This season, I set out to build the best team I could possibly build and try to see if I can take first. The first team I tried was 1). I remember halfway through the season (not sure why) I decided to switch to my new team. Probably due to the hippowdon team being a bit too slow for my liking. I think team 2) serves as the foundation of all my future teambuilds. I didn't realize it at that time, but about the only team I will play is BO. And central to BO is essentially a good defensive core, a good scarfer, and offensive pokemons that usually have good defensive utilities. The goal isn't to win as fast as possible, but it is also not to stack up on as many defensive pokemons as possible. So pokemons with good defensive abilities are important. You'll see this come up time and time again. A scarfer is important because it patches up the issue that most BOs have, which is being too slow. In addition, almost all scarfers have some sort of ability to use trick or switcheroo, which is very important to shut down any setup sweepers and help with the consistency of the team. I am not exactly sure if this is the case, but I think January was the first season Slowking with chilly reception was released. And this pokemon, imo, was meta-changing. It completely hardstops one of the pokemons that was terrorizing the metagame, keldeo. It is a defensive pokemon, but it gained the ability to tank a hit, regen, and switch. Momentum is a very necessary thing in maintaining pressure in bulky offense. In addition, the ability to future sight, is vital to forcing progress. Something like skarmory will struggle against a future sight in the air in addition to a +2 knock or HJK. I also remember wanting to build with blacephalon due to some outbreaks. With these two pokemons set, the rest is pretty self-explanatory. Tangrowth completes the perfect synergy FWG core and deals with physical attackers. Tangrowth might seem like a weird pick given its lack of usage in PRO, but it functions very solidly here. I am not sure if Skarmory gets body-press back then, but even if it does, Tangrowth still helps with things like Dragonite and Bisharp by threatening Sleep Powder. In addition, it is a progress maker with knock—off, and deals with the ever-annoying ferrothorn through HP-fire as opposed to Skarmory, who gets leech-seeded and might be placed into a rough spot. Landorus rounds up the team with rocks defog (which might seem a little stupid), and lures in Zapdos with Z-rock, which helps with lopunny and bisharp. In addition, it aids tangrowth to ensure it doesn’t get overloaded. Lopunny is the fast attacker that threatens faster pokemons with fake-out spam and bisharp is a slower setup sweeper that has amazing defensive utility against most things. An eviolite bisharp is crucial as both means of offense and defense, as it makes it kind of like a mini kingambit that was incredibly hard to switch into, even for Zapdos. Against anything not called skarmory or garchomp, worse comes to worse, Bisharp can stay in and kill in a 1-for-1 trade. Lastly, blacephalon is the scarfer that can just shadow spam to snowball out of control, and punish opponents without either a scarfer or a normal/dark type. Recurring themes that I struggled to build against are BD azu (very common in PRO), keldeo, kommo-o, mega-diancie, kyurem, bisharp, and volcarona. For this team, having slowking on the team implicitly checks the latter 4, whereas BD azu feels fine with bisharp, helmet tangrowth, and lopunny with fake outs. Volcarona is probably mostly fine with two priority users and landorus, and is likely as much of an insurance as you are going to get (gosh I hate this pokemon). Bisharp is also super annoying to build against, but tangrowth mostly deals with it just fine, and at worse is a 1-1 trade. Lopunny and my own bisharp help significantly. Overall, one of the most solid teams I have built. February PVP Season Pokepaste: ☆☆ https://pokepast.es/083ddc9d0ce282e9 Contrary to the teamname, Heracross is not the goat. This was the season where fatter teams were picking up in usage, so I thought Heracross could be a cool pokemon to use. Give Heracross some bulk, and it would be incredibly hard to break its substitute. Most landorus will struggle to break its substitute because doing so likely means hitting stone edge, which heracross would likely get up sword dances during the process. With teleport and the success of slowking, I thought it would be cool to use a defensive core where two pokemons can simultaneously tank a hit and run away to gain a more favorable matchup, but that was not as effective as I thought. Slowking is as effective as ever, but telling clefable to do this seems to be wishful thinking. Clefable itself is not a bulky pokemon, and its use means you are constantly forced to Wish. In addition, even if you wish, you are forced into a dilemma between healing your teammate or keeping yourself healthy. If we go down the machao’s nemesis checklist, “BD azu (very common in PRO), keldeo, kommo-o, mega-diancie, kyurem, bisharp, and volcarona,” you’ll see we are probably even more solid against them some of the pokemons compared to last season. However, bisharp is a huge problem for our team because of iron-head flinches, against heracross, life orb sucker punch against garchomp once it sets up. Volcarona is also hard to deal with and relies on rocks being up to beat it. In addition, one thing I struggled with this season was serperior, which can tear through my team with leaf storms. Aegislash also wasn’t as solid of a clefable answer as I thought… it struggled to break through it with flash cannon. Since it was my last and only line of defense against clefable, I had to switch it to iron head, and even then it was not great… I didn’t like this team as much because it felt matchup-y in the sense that, yes it is good into most things, but common stuff like bisharp, serperior, and clefable were very annoying to deal with, and to me that is a big failure as a teambuilder. March PVP Season Pokepaste: ☆☆☆☆☆ https://pokepast.es/429ae1d640b6a359 This is the best team I’ve built. Probably so far and in the future. It is creative, innovative, and just cool. Sash explosion landorus is standard for these types of teams. But we have a scarfer in keldeo, which can win on its own, a speed-boosting blacephalon, which can win on its own, bisharp and mawile offensive core, which can win on its own, and as extra insurance, Cresselia, who can heal any one of them and get us a second chance if anything messes up. In addition, we have the option to set trick room in an emergency situation, healing and getting either Mawile or bisharp in to do big damage. I remember one of the biggest problems for this team was keldeo. It clicks scald and wins. A common trick I had to do was explode landorus on keldeo for a 1 for 1 exchange. Rotom-wash was also very annoying to deal with as landorus was my primary volt-blocker and none of the other pokemons appreciated a will-o-wisp. The objective of this team is to win as fast as possible, using one of the 4 means after getting rocks up. If one doesn’t work, try another one until it works. It is surprisingly easy for blacephalon to set up and run away with the game because most people assume it is choice-scarf. With a Z as a nuke, you can easily get +1 speed, which opponents will struggle to deal with. Calm-mind, along with hp invest, gives it decent bulk to work with most of the time. If you take a look at the team, it is stacked with attackers. So how do we guarantee we have a way of dealing with almost everything? This role is placed on the movesets and evs of our pokemons. As opposed to the standard sets, bisharp was tailored for outspeeding adamant azumarill and living an aqua jet at +6. Kommo-o was beaten through setting trick room, mega-diancie through trick room or scarf keldeo, or any of the steel types trading one for one then being lunar-danced back. Kyurem was 1v1 through cresselia moonblast, Bisharp was beaten through keldeo, substitute blacephalon, or brick break hyper cutter mawile to not give it an attack boost upon switching in. Volcarona is beaten by scarf keldeo with stone edge. With all these backup plans in case things go wrong and the ability to exert so much offensive pressure, this is truly one of the best teams I’ve ever built. One thing that I did struggle against but didn’t face was some sort of mega-latias + muk + skarmory stall. If muk somehow takes out blacephalon, it will be extremely difficult to break through skarmory. Just those two might be fine due to keldeo, but the addition of mega-latias makes it near impossible to play against. Special thanks to idkup for pointing it out, but I am glad that I didn’t face this combination. May PVP Season Pokepaste: ☆☆☆ https://pokepast.es/2ed139bd47dbcec9 This was the season alomomola starts showing up, and I severely underestimated how good it was. This was also the season where slowking comes back, and my goated ursaluna set came to fruition. The reason why I used beedrill was not because of a dare, or a challenge. I just remember building the rest of the team and wanting a fast pokemon to round the team out. And somehow, it just worked. I think the team worked because of how fat the meta is. Beedrill is not very hard hitting, but being able to put down a toxic spikes early in the game plays dividends in the long run. With how many molas and skarmory and landorus (as usual) running around, placing down a toxic spikes breaks down these molas core easily. Due to beedrill’s super low hp, endeavor is a nuke after it takes 2 rounds of rocks against defensive teams. Now, a bit about rest-talk luna: it also was kind of a surprise. I was just at first thinking if façade works under sleep, which I don’t believe it does. However, I still tried rest-talk to see if that is the case to not only give it longevity, but also power when asleep. I realize that one of the most common struggles with ursaluna is it just hitting into rocky helmets and chipping itself to death with flame orb. Hence, we want to give ursaluna longevity by giving it maximum hp and the ability to heal up against fat and passive teams. This ursaluna set is imo the best set on PRO right now. Against offense, the way to use it is to trade it 1 for 1 for their most annoying pokemon. Ursaluna’s bulk enables it to do that. Against stall, ursaluna becomes a damage dealing machine, hitting pokemons with conjunction with future sight until they break. Honestly, that’s mostly all I want to talk about for this team. The rest of the team, unfortunately, is not that great. They are more so members necessary to round up the team. Skarmory feels pretty broken at that time because no one knows what it does. I remember hoopa were starting to show up around this time, so bisharp really helps with it. It is a fun team and I am glad I got 1st with it, but I don’t know if I will queue with it again. August PVP Season Pokepaste: ☆ https://pokepast.es/ba3191dc6b971595 I hate this team and I don’t want to talk about it. In short, I tried to build something that would stop alomomola, felt like gastrodon was a good pick, went with it, and it ended up being very mid because it couldn’t set hazards. I struggled a bit this season quite frankly, and I was traveling so I couldn’t really think much about PRO. If you see any machao teams that ended up with weird stuff like occa berry ferrothorn, you know something ended up very wrong. ** Brief Aside This was also the season I felt diancie-m was pretty broken (one of the best megas in game at least). It is faster than everything, has a stab that is hard to resist outside of ferrothorn and pretty much nothing else. This made me think I had to build a team with Diancie, and diancie itself ended up pretty good, but was not necessarily the easiest to pilot with mola eating up every attack. Sub keldeo was also due to mola, but mola and latios would just do these flip turns into and out of keldeo to break its sub, which I felt was very very oppressive. This season was just awful to play against because 1) everyone just uses alomomola flip and 2) everyone has some sort of build with scarf latios + hoopa unbound for wall breaking other alomomola. When there is a universal best team / best core such as this, I think the enabler, aka alomomola, has to be dealt with. And I am very glad that ended up being the case. September PVP Season Pokepaste: ☆☆☆ https://pokepast.es/81708401d167b44d I don’t know why this is the team most people on gold server probably know me by (judging by the amount of people who copy it), but I am not happy with that. If you want a good team, go copy the best team I’ve ever built. Not some altaria bs. Ok, I have a love-hate relationship with this team. If you are an astute reader, you will probably realize that this team is exactly the same as the beedrill team except it has altaria over it. This was not initially intended. It seems like I just end up using the same pokemons because of how solid they are. Altaria is a cool pokemon I wanted to build with. I felt like the modest set is most solid, because its typing checks so many things that are problematic under my list such as kommo-o and bd-azu. In fact, its speed is specifically ev-d to outspeed bd azu. I recall the special defense is for beating mega-charizard-y and volcarona reliably. I considered fire blast or flamethrower over toxic, and while it is useful at times, being able to spread status around as a midground is also very useful. The rest of the team pretty much functions the same as before. I felt like beedrill wouldn’t be as useful this season due to the lack of alomomolas. On paper, this is the most solid team I’ve ever built. However, this team is extremely prone to hax. I have gotten my skarmory crit so many times when all it needs to do is let off a game winning body press. **Brief Aside I remember I once almost crashed out because this team has the freest matchup against poppachav (Team: Victini, Registeel, beedrill, mandibuzz… forgot the last two). Pretty much, I got hard counters versus victini in slowking, and other than that, the rest of his team loses against skarmory. Well, to beat him, I would need to get into an iron defense war versus registeel. First game against Poppachav, I lost the iron defense war due to a critical hit. Then, since he was in range of tornadus heatwave, I went to tornadus and missed the heatwave as he rested. After that, I had no way of killing his registeel… Second game, I had to get into an iron defense war again and got a critical hit again… That made me so pissed and I almost quit playing Pokemon. This is why I hated this team. Even when the odds were completely in my favor, bullsh*t like this keeps happening and I would lose rating. It was already incredibly hard to gain rating when you are 400 points above everyone else you are playing, so losing in this manner was just incredibly frustrating. Another version of this team featured terrakion. Fearing that bisharp was too slow and still wanting a fighting resist, terrakion is a solid replacement. Unfortunately, terrakion is a pretty inconsistent pokemon. Sure it is speedier, but it doesn’t outrun the crucial 110 base speed, speed tier to deal with metagross, something bisharp handles much better. In addition, running terrakion means handing it the z-move and switching tornadus-t to some life orb variant, which didn’t end up working too well. That is why I think this is a turning point. I swear to never run a team so slow ever again. If I need to get into a setup war against my opponent to win, then fine, I will do it. But I don’t want this to be consistently my only out against my opponent’s teams. In the future teams, you will see that I modified my style of bulky offense a bit such that it is not so slow and treading towards balance anymore. There is a more well-defined defensive core and the guaranteed presence of a scarfer (favorite scarfer incoming…). October PVP Season Pokepaste: 1) ☆☆☆ https://pokepast.es/00f17600af703bab 2) ☆☆☆☆ https://pokepast.es/03b70461352dd163 October is the ash-gren month, and the month where sneasler and clodsire were added. I ended up using two different teams, both of which feature a mawile ash-gren core. I honestly don’t have much to say regarding this month other than the fact that ash-gren is pretty broken. It is speedy and extremely difficult to switch into. The fact that it can run spikes or drop it for u-turn or ice-beam to hit pokemons that would otherwise resist it for big damage is just insanely powerful. I think the teambuilding philosophy for these types of season is simple: put an ash-gren on your team, pair it with a powerful mega (mawile or lopunny seems to be good), and add an ash gren resist in ferrothorn, tangrowth, or amoonguss. I guess because this month added clodsire, clodsire works too, and is probably one of the best pokemons to pick against ash-gren. Regardless, once you have these components on your team, you can finally start thinking about the rest of the team. I honestly don’t really remember too much about what happened when building just because this month was a mess. I switched my team because I ended up really wanting to use sneasler, and sneasler honestly fits perfectly with the second team, providing tons of offensive pressure in close combat that threatens poison, uturn that threatens poison, and a scarf trick that shuts down defensive cores. This core does not necessitate a choice specs greninja as one thing I found was that mawile and sneasler likely completes this job already. Hence a waterium-z set was chosen for ease of setting spikes and the ability to switch moves. Sneasler is what I believe is the best scarfer in the game right now. It outspeeds adamant drill under sand, all other scarfers, and is pretty much the fastest option that still does very significant damage with close combat. The fact that it can easily lure in landorus-t and threaten a poison is also incredible. The only thing that I dislike about it compared to other scarfers is its bulk has something left to be desired, but it is just fast, hard-hitting, and consistent. This team deserves a 4-star because of sneasler. Shoutout to my fellow sneasler appreciators out there <3. I remember this was the month where clodsire stall picked up, with some clodsire, mega latias, clef, skarmory, annhilape, alomomola (?) type of team, which was run by the vn guild basculin. And at that time, I felt like that was a very very good team. It seemed to consistently beat a lot of the offensive cores centered around ash-gren with clodsire and alomomola completely nullifying it. I am happy to see stall pick up slightly (not that I want to use it, but for the balancing of the metagame), because of how utterly bad it was for the past couple of months. However, the main reason why I brought this up is because I was told by some vn guild member (who is on the ladder btw) to sit after losing against this team, and then I beat him 3 times in a row after… So maybe don’t talk so much [heck] in the future. November PVP Season Pokepaste: ☆☆☆☆ https://pokepast.es/363bd8e7a677a86d This is the last season I will be covering, and the only season I did on silver. I moved to silver to test to see how well I will do in silver. And honestly, I did fairly well but also suffered a lot. I really like this team. I think bold volcarona is very good and potentially an oppressive existence. The fact that this mon can act as both an offensive and defensive behemoth… this ability is second to none. In addition, there are pretty much no priorities that can kill it in one. The strongest one I can think of, banded crawdaunt aqua jet, only does around 85% to this volcarona spread. I think this team combines a lot of the conclusions I reached over the past few months. Need a fat, hard-hitting ground type that destroys fat, check. Need something for keldeo and latios, check. Need a near unswitchable existence and a fairy type? Get diancie on the team (In reality this mon struggled a bit due to the addition of clodsire, so I had to reassess my take a bit. However, clodsire is a free switch in for ursaluna). How to make the team more broken? Put a volcarona on the team. I will say that mandibuzz is a bit of a special pick. Why not zapdos or skarmory? In terms of pure physical bulk, I feel like mandibuzz was the bulkiest pokemon I’ve run. The ability to do significant damage with foul play is very desirable. However, that doesn’t explain why choose it over the pivoting ability zapdos provides or the spikes skarmory gives. Part of the reason is because 1) Mandibuzz is especially good against breloom, blocking it with its overcoat ability. 2) Psychic types such as mega-alakazam can be extremely problematic to the team otherwise. 3) I want to have extra insurance in toxic vs. volcaronas I could face. Mandibuzz does not seem like that good of a pick, but against a neutral hit, for example, ursaluna, mandibuzz takes the hit much better than zapdos. It also has the added benefit of completing walling hoopa-unbound. Iron defense is also completely mandatory. Yes, there is no body press, but Iron defense turns games against setup pokemons like swampert or even mawile on its head, beating them by taking advantage of their attack boosts. It is also a very good late game win-con against ho teams that stack on physical attackers such as dragonite, bisharp, and breloom. On silver, I faced many clodsire and skarmory cores. It was kind of a struggle, because clodsire would wall diancie, and ursaluna would be walled by skarm. To break this loop, some sort of future-sight play is necessary, but in the process, slowking could get toxic’d, and hazards could go up. It is pretty annoying to play against and honestly a failure on my part to predict this meta-trend. However, I think with good play, this was completely manageable. The biggest problem for this team is bd azumarill. Holy [heck] this was bad. Once it belly drums up, how do I deal with it? 200 speed mandibuzz foul play. Yeah, there is literally no counter play otherwise. It’s not like my other pokemons kill it in 1 hit (except ursaluna) so this was usually the only way. It requires a lot of skillful playing and managing to beat it. I have to get into why I hate silver server now. Let me just say I like how it is more competitive than gold and its queue time is lower. I am not one to shy away from competition. But, I hate counter-teaming, I think it is the lowest of the low. Someone told me to queue on silver, you need 3 teams, because certain people who intentionally look at your rating change, and snipe you with their counter team. And to be honest, they are right. I’ve been sniped again and again, until I thought it was time to stop queueing or avoid certain people because of how dedicated they are to sniping. Let me give you an example. After beating this said person, I was sniped by specs protean greninja (which is bad enough), in addition to adamant azumarill, and rock slide metagross. Obviously, I lost once, but I was able to overcome that deficit after knowing what to look out for in the following game. Then the person changed to jolly azumarill. Yep, instant loss. As another example, I was sniped by triple scarf + some crawdaunt, which my team does not deal with. Triple scarf is just unscientific, particularly after I beat the opponent once already. In addition to all that, my hatred to silver was probably exacerbated by the fact that I was juggling school projects, trying to get first place on the silver ladder, and getting immensely sick for 2 weeks of November. I was so close to getting 600 on the ladder (I think I reached 590), until some guy who lose to volcarona paralyzed it with scarf glare serperior like 4 turns in a row so I can’t get 1 singular roost off and I had to see it die to a nidoking at +3 spA and spD boosts. I was so incredibly frustrated that I probably threw a couple games. And after that the sickness hit and the sniping hit and the rest is history. I think I am still pretty proud of how this team did. I expected it to be competitive, and most players are competitive in a good way, but it was just a select few who are sullying the rest. I think the main difference between gold and silver is simply skill level, and significantly less hyper offense to deal with. Silver teams trend on the bulky side, with a decent number of stall, but I was able to dispatch those successfully. There was also more rain. This is why I am avoiding silver in the future, and you likely won’t see me there anymore. I can accept losing to people legitimately, and people making adjustments on how they play, but changing teams just to beat one person is just wrong… I think in a tournament setting, I can accept that because scouting is part of a 1v1 gameplay. But a ladder (this is only possible in pro because the ladder is not active), is not meant for you to target one singular player, so you shouldn’t just swap your team out for 10 minutes and replace it with something else after 20. This pretty much sums up everything for this year. I will not be publishing my December team just yet since the season has not ended… that will likely have to wait until next year. I would like to thank a couple people for the support to lead to success I had this year. Specifically, Jorogumo, who helped with the teambuilding process, banklas and cyan, who lent me a lot of pokemons which I otherwise would take years to garner, and mcnutt and scrub, who sacrificed their win rate to help me test my teams to see if they could be successful. I can’t express the amount of gratitude especially to Joro for listening to me in my dms and going down checklists with me to see how the team can be improved. And I can’t express the amount of fun (and sorrow) sometimes I had with banklas, Joro, and scrub when we talk about pvp together. We are just right around 5000 words, and this was much longer than I intended it to be. However, if you reached this point, I hope you had a good read, please take my teams and use them as you like, and hope to see you in 2026.

Hey everyone, I really suck at these. I've been playing PRO since 2016, and I think it's finally time to retire. PRO has been a huge part of my life for nearly a decade. The community, the player culture, drama, events, dumb threads, everything, I'm really grateful for. Here's a small introduction to what I do in PRO before I officially retire. How I play the game I'm a jack of all trades, I enjoy every aspect of PRO. Hunting, PvP (Personally love Draft!), trading, conversing with the community, joining and hosting events and tournaments, helping newer players, however my biggest enjoyment from PRO is making content and working on projects. Some of my projects were never posted, some were discontinued, some are ongoing, some were still being worked on in the background. My projects and other stuff My biggest project that's still ongoing is ofc New Leaf. Shoutout to everyone in the guild, I would be nothing without you guys. Having the opportunity to lead and manage one of the longest lasting guilds in PRO was an amazing experience. To newer players who are considering creating a guild, I say make it, don't let others discourage you. Set a goal and work towards it. Rare Candy Media (RCM) was a passion project of mine. I enjoy the idea of reporting any and all things to the community. There are atm, 12 issues of RCM you can read in the General Talk Sub-forum if you're interested. Thank you for the art and editing that was provided by @Dos3d and @Walkyrion for the help in this project and everyone who has contributed one way or another at one point. I really would've loved to continue making articles each week. Giving money away until Astrella comes out. As the title says. It was fun seeing how people would react. It was a mix of disbelief, gratitude, shock, and genuine curiosity. I think due to PRO's scam culture, it made it hard for me to randomly give money to strangers. The most common outcome was the player asking "Why?" About 10% of 275 people called me a scammer and left the PM, but the majority of the giveaway winners were shocked and thankful after I explained what I was doing. This project had to stop for personal reasons that didn't involve money. Then I farmed 999 Rattata hair and made a "Buff Magnet Pull" thread one of the most liked threads on the forum. Idk why, I just did it. https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/topic/234573-i-farmed-999-rattata-hair-what-happens-next-will-shock-you/ https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/topic/228876-magnet-pull-needs-buff/#comment-1361546 The biggest project I was working on that never came out and is still ongoing was asking people what there favorite part of PRO was. The goal was to ask 200 players. 100 from Silver and 100 from Gold what their favorite part of PRO was. As of right now, I'm only on the 87th person. This one was very interesting. It doubled as a social experiment. I would PM random people on the server with the question "What do you enjoy most about PRO? Hunting, PvP, forms, quests, events, staff, the community etc." Pretty simple question right? I noticed though, right around the quarter point, that the majority of people were just giving short responses. Once I altered my question and removed the examples, people started giving me better answers. The most common answer in order was the community, followed by hunting, then forms / cosmetics, followed by PvP, events, and lastly quests (Wonder why, most recent quests are unique, don't require the player to check every tree, and provide just enough clues). Here were some of the best answers I got: I also did host some tournaments: PRO Tour S2: https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/topic/187119-pro-tour-s2/ PRO Tour S3: https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/topic/190792-pro-tour-s3/ Guild showcases and spotlights. A project I was working on but never released on the forum. This one didn't hit with me. I tried contacting leaders of smaller guilds to build their community via an interview and highlighting what makes their guild special. The leaders / officers would either never respond or what I assume to be quitting the game. I did interview other popular guilds which was supposed to be an article for RCM. Reason for retiring I'm at a point in my life where I have to choose wisely what I spend my free time on. I'm not burnt out in PRO, I still have a lot of fuel in me and several big projects in my mind I want to work on, but it's just the fact that I can't commit to PRO as much as I used to. I have to make a sacrifice, and I chose to drop PRO. It doesn't mean PRO never meant anything to me, it's the opposite, PRO was everything for me, and I have to take a step back. It's been fun Over the 9 years I've played, I've seen many people come and go. Staff members, players, friends. People got banned, people quit, some had to focus irl. People changing. PRO's come a long way, trust me, not just the game itself, but also the people working on it. This is 100% an unbiased opinion, I know some people think it's cool to hate on staff, but learn to give them a break sometime, they're human. Same goes for staff members, we all just want the best for the game. I trust that Wally does too. Not bringing up past issues and going off topic (Make a separate thread if you have to), not trying to glaze either, but I feel like over the past few months, he has improved with trying to communicate things to players. From my neutral perspective, that's what I've seen. Try to respect that at least. But yeah this game will continue to change for the better, I believe that, and I will always be proud to be part of the community. I hope that by sharing my projects, I inspire some of you to do the same. This isn't goodbye forever, I'll still be on Discord don't worry, I'm always available to chat, just hmu. I do wish you all the best, and hope you have as much fun as I did. Peace!

What about to have a NPC that I can post my pokes and put the price for it? It can "take a %" as a service because the user opted to not use the chat for. Poke name filter and ability as it is the new box now (what was a great addition, kudos on that) Example: Pikachu | Static | lvl 20 | 50k Than you can click and see the poke details, buy or not. Maybe after a limit time, like 7 days, it comes back to your box to not flood the NPC list, also a limit posted pokes per account to avoid tons of poke with insane value from the same person. EDIT: === And just to remember, it is not to REPLACE the trade chat and doesn't need to all the listed features. It is just another way to sell without the active chat flooding. The way it is now, probably some people in a different timezone would never buy the pokes from you And I would love to hear the why from the people that think that it would not be good, maybe I'm not seeing something import. So, please share.

This is Ancient Onix but I've only got the front side and only this Onix. Don't worry, I will do the backside and all sides and forms for Steelix! What do you think?I do worry I added a tad too much plant and dirt debri falling/hanging off of Ancient Onix. Btw, I will update this thread when more work is done. I've now made an Ancient Onix party/box Icon! So much easier to do! Edit: I had to re-edit this post as I wanted to update the backside Onix because the plants on its head was bothering me and I already had an updated version made even if minor. But due to that, I had to delete and re-add all the sprites 'cause of it but I didn't mind. Ancient Onix Form Update!! Ancient Steelix! Ancient Mega Steelix! I am NOT good with spriting crystals! XD I tried! Here's the new version, there's not much difference. Ancient Onix Dex Entry: A very old and possibly even Ancient Onix that seemed to have survived it all. It also seems to have flecks and veins of gold on its body, but is hard to see due to the foliage it had gained throughout its' years of living and hibernating. It has gained a much larger body compared to regular Onix and is more durable despite its' ancient visage. Running into an Ancient Onix is nigh impossible due to its natural mossy camouflage and long hibernation that probably lasts for years at a time. Upon discovery, many people tried to search for one due to the gold on its body that it had probably gotten due to its' mineral diet, but many have failed thus far. It's unknown if anyone has managed to catch one besides the one specimen that was first discovered. Ancient Steelix Dex Entry: Upon evolving, the Ancient Onix's mineral composition became more refined and hardened, and covers most of it's body now revealing all their glory while losing the majority of foliage, especially moss. However, it also gained a much more nastier disposition possibly due to the rust that eats away at Steelix's body compared to when it was an Onix, thus hurting it. Rust remover is now an itch and pain remedy to this Pokemon. It also enjoys a good polishing which is also quite the daunting task. Ancient Mega Steelix Dex Entry: Mega Steelix doesn't mind the worse pain it experiences upon mega evolving if it's to protect it's beloved and well trusted trainer. It's also not recommended to let Ancient Steelix to be in mega form for too long due to quicker rusting and extreme internal body heat that causes this phenomena. It was shortly discovered to harbor some water and lava along with crystals within its' steely body that may have been there but not utilize since it was an Onix but now has upon mega evolving. What's usually diamond crystals on it's body can be other minerals depending on it's diet even when it was an Onix such as Amethyst, Citrine, Ametrine, amongst others. Due to the extreme heat, pressure within itself, and the heated water, the crystals continue to grow. It's not recommended to touch Mega Ancient Steelix unless with insulated gloves. Sometimes, lava leaks from the circle areas. Beware of the steam that comes from it's body and mouth.

Sorry for the delay, I was still in hospital. However I am out now and back home! The winners of Saturday 13 December are @Yuqi05 and @Shadow2054 Congratz ! https://youtu.be/x2n5RguIxZc I have sent you the coin capsule in-game through mail!

IMPORTANT Hey, sorry for disappearing. In the last 10 days I developed a very high fever, between 40.9°C and 41.6°C, and spent four days in bed. I fainted and was rushed to hospital (I still am in hospital). The doctors had to keep me asleep few days because my condition was making them think about neurological negative consequences, since my brain was frying itself. I'll continue the giveaway from hospital, shouldn't have any issue. Thanks for understanding. NOTE: Since we missed 11 days, 11 extra days were added in January to compensate. INTRODUCTION Hey there, PRO Community. How are you all doing? It's your neighborhood Keita/Shinohara here! I’ve missed you.

I like the new emoji system, but I see it being overused specifically within Trade Chat already by some players. Maybe an emoji limit per message also could be something to consider. I do not consider this to be a huge deal, just thought I would mention my thoughts here because it has been recently implemented. Thanks.

Cc: Chairxtable WIP Ethereal is a not so new and hopefully still up and coming guild created by two not very sane people, EdwardLZ and NKT. Leading a top guild has been one of our goals for the longest time ever. So, when we finally had the money to create a guild, we immediately decided to do it. We wanted to lead and maintain an growing, acting top team. We thought we we would be able to do it. However, there was a problem. To be the best guild, we need the best members, and that's where we need you. We might not have a lot of members or ratings as of now, but those trivial things could matter later. No matter if you're new or a veteran, we welcome you with open arms. Requirements It is preferable if you are able to speak basic English, they don't have to be good, just enough to understand. We are recruiting anyone and everyone who wishes to join the guild, so please consider joining, i'm desperate. Guild Benefits 1. We have a functional Discord server for communications, trades, pvps, etc. 2. In-guild contests, events, etc is held in our discord server. More members = more events! 3. A guild bank to lend and borrow Pokemons for free! 4. A guild forum shop to advertise member's Pokemons for free! 5. we have a pretty sick guild logo. 6. we have a pretty sick guild art 7. We get top 15-20.

Note: There’s currently very little information on how, or even whether, Goomy will evolve into Hisuian Goodra in our game. At this point, your guess is as good as mine.

Thanks to the Xmas event (which I'm loving btw, luck aside), I've caught a handful of rare form pokemon, and I got to thinking... Similar to the "You got a rare encounter! (OK)" popup that prompts before the battle plays out, wouldn't it also be possible to add a check before or after the "run" option in those select fights? So that for any "rare" encounters, you don't accidentally hit your hotkey or misclick the wrong button, and end up logging out in despair, lol. I'm by no means a coding expert, but I imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to implement since the (OK) popup and "rare" encounters as a labeled concept are already noted by the system. I feel like it would be an excellent qol change but regardless, thank you for your time and have a wonderful one. o7

IMPORTANT Hey, sorry for disappearing. For the first two days I had problems with my Former Staff account and was waiting for those to be fixed. In the last 10 days I developed a very high fever, between 40.9°C and 41.6°C, and spent four days in bed. I fainted and was rushed to hospital (I still am in hospital). The doctors had to keep me asleep few days because my condition was making them think about neurological negative consequences, since my brain was frying itself. I'll continue the giveaway from hospital, shouldn't have any issue. Thanks for understanding. The winners of Day 9 are: @Hulfrite, @Itskaori @Pumpkinl

Note: If this suggestion has already been made at any point during PRO’s lifetime, I apologise in advance and feel free to disregard it. We already have the IV and nature reroll tickets, items that directly affect a Pokémon’s performance, but what about a feature that allows players to change the Ball a Pokémon is in? This would be a cosmetic option, but one that many players could appreciate. Some players catch rare forms with their OT and grow attached to using that specific Pokémon in PvP or PvE. Having the ability to match their favourite Pokémon with their favourite ball would be a nice finishing touch. While it’s certainly not a high-priority feature, it feels like a thoughtful addition. Regarding the economy, I don’t believe this would have a major negative impact if it were priced appropriately. If changing a Pokémon’s ball required a premium cost, such as a CC, 100 coins, or something similar, it likely wouldn’t reduce overall ball sales in a significant way. In fact, it could even encourage players to be more deliberate about which ball they use when catching in the first place. As long as this remains a paid, non-cheap luxury rather than an easy or free option, it shouldn’t disrupt the ball economy. If needed, this feature could even be restricted to the OT to preserve additional value and fairness, though personally, I think it would be nice to have it generally available. Overall, it’s a small, optional cosmetic feature rather than a necessity, but one that many players might appreciate for their most loved Pokémon as part of their long-term journey in the game. A small, optional feature, but one that could spark a "Ball Revolution" in Pokémon Revolution Online.

Complete Kanto Walkthrough Hello, I've created this guide to help out the newer players who may be struggling with progressing in the story. In this guide, I will go over how to beat the Kanto region's story; from the intro to the Elite 4. Hopefully, you can find use of it and it helps you Throughout the guide, I will be linking other guides for side quests or other peoples guides on certain story quests. This is because I believe it's important to credit the people who have already put in the effort to make helpful guides. Guides that I don't find a place for or guides that I feel are important to be included will be linked at the bottom of this post. For the users who have been wanting me to create a Johto guide, you can find it in the link provided below. Apologies for not creating it myself, sooner. I got burned out from the game and the guide was left half complete in my documents. Luckily, SugarRed9 has completed her own. It follows the same structure as this guide so everything should be familiar to the new players who are following along. Arielgg has also made the Hoenn and Sinnoh guides, so be sure to give a big thanks to her! Johto Guide Hoenn guide Sinnoh Guide To get the most out of this guide, please use CTRL+F to search for the part that you're looking for. The index A place of reference to help you better find what you're looking for. Introduction Pallet Town Route 1 Viridian City Viridian Forest Pewter City Route 3 Mt. Moon Route 4 Route 25 & 25 Cerulean City Route 5 & 6 SS Anne Vermilion City Diglett's Cave Rock Tunnel Route 8 & 9 Celadon City Lavender Town Route 12, 13, 14 & 15 Fuschia City Journey to Saffron Saffron City Journey to Cinnabar Cinnabar Island Viridian City Gym Victory Road Kanto Elite 4 Finishing Kanto and starting Johto The guide Introduction WELCOME TO PRO! Once you start a new game on any of the two servers, you will be greeted by Professor Oak. From here you can design your character; please note, you cannot change your character's appearance without buying the Magic Mirror from the coin shop. So chose wisely. Once you have chosen your character you will be spawned into the intro world. Follow the dirt path South until you reach Oak; talk to him then continue the path. Eventually, you will reach Mew, it will flee and you can continue the path. Once you reach your mother she will start crying about how much she will miss you, once her dialogue is over you will be teleported to Pallet Town. Pallet Town Once you spawn in Pallet Town you should leave your home and walk to Professor Oak's Lab, which is at the Southeast of your home. Once there you will be given the option to chose your starter Pokémon. You will also be given your Pokédex. When choosing your starter you have 4 options; Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Charmander and Pikachu. By choosing Pikachu you unlock an extra side quest where you are able to obtain Ash's hat. Link to guide. To chose Pikachu you must click "No." on all three starters. After choosing your starter you can exit Oak's Lab and return home. Talk to your mother then go upstairs and pick the two items on the floor. You will receive 5 Pokéballs and 5 Potions. Now, leave your house and walk outside. You will notice an Eevee with an orange name. Talk to it and you will trigger a scene with Jackson, your rival. Talk to Jackson to battle him. If you lose a battle you will drop 5% of your money. Once you finish the fight you should continue North to Route 1. Route 1 Now that you have left Pallet Town you must continue North, to Viridian City. On your way you can talk to the NPC with the brown coat for a free potion. There are also 3 hidden potions behind this tree. Viridian City Once you enter Viridian, the first thing you will see is a Rare Candy. This Rare Candy will respawn once every 7 days. There is also a trainer here who will trade her Oddish for a Pidgey that has 15 IVs or more in Speed and Attack. If you chose Charmander or Pikachu I recommend this trade as it will greatly help with the first gym. Before you continue the story I recommend training your Pokémon to around level 10. Use Route 22 to train your Pokémon. Once you are ready for Jackson, enter the school building and go to the lower floor. Confront Jackson and you will battle him. His Eevee is now level 8. If you lose to Jackson then you will have to talk with the Receptions and then return to Pallet Town and ask his mom to come and move him. His house is the one next to yours. If you beat Jackson then you are free to move on to Viridian Forest. Head North to Route 2 and continue until you reach the stop house. Viridian Forest When you're in Viridian Forest you will find Viridian Maze. The entire maze is pitch black so you will need HM Flash to go through it. Use this guide to help find your way. Link to guide. Outside of the maze is a boy who has lost his Pidgey to a Team Rocket Grunt. Accept his quest and go into the maze. After defeating the Rocket Grunt you can return to the boy and you will receive 15 Pokéballs and an Escape Rope as a reward. Go back into the maze and talk to the girl on a motorbike, she gives you the option to learn headbutt. You should do this as headbutt is quite useful for finding berries and rare Pokémon. Once you've done everything you can in the maze, start to make your way through the forest. Make sure to battle all the trainers as they're a good source of EXP. After you reach the end of the forest you will exit on Route 2. Use the tall grass here to train your Pokémon to level 15 if they aren't already. Pewter City There isn't much to do in Pewter City except for defeating the gym. Once you enter the city you will be greeted by Team Rocket outside of a Pokécenter. Talk to them then continue to the gym. Brock uses Rock Type so water, grass and fighting are your best options. He uses a Geodude and an Onix. I recommend you level your Pokémon to around level 15 for this gym. After beating Brock he will reward you with the Boulder Badge. By receiving the Boulder Badge you can now use Headbutt and Flash outside of battle if your Pokémon has 150 happiness or more. You also can buy TM34 - Bide from the man near the entrance. When you leave the gym you will talk to Red for the first time. Complete his dialogue and continue to Route 3. Route 3 Again, there isn't much to do on Route 3 except for fighting a load of trainers. Once you reach the Pokécenter at the other side you can enter it and purchase a Magikarp. Outside at the entrance to Mt. Moon, there is a salesman who will sell you 5 Escape Ropes for $2,000. You save $500 with this deal. Mt. Moon Mt. Moon can be a bit of a maze to newer players. When trying to get to the other side you should avoid the first 2 ladders as they only lead you to dig spots. Instead continue on the first floor until you reach the ladder at the end. There is also a free Moon Stone here which can be useful later on. Continue walking through until you reach Mt. Moon B2F, defeat the Rocket Grunts and talk to the scientist. He will battle you for the fossils that he found. After defeating him you are allowed to chose one to keep. On the left is the Helix fossil which gives you Omanyte and on the right is the Dome fossil which will give you a Kabuto. After you take a fossil you can walk forwards a little and battle Jesse and James. After you defeat them you can continue to the exit. Route 4 There isn't anything to do on Route 4 except for battling a few trainers and headbutting a few trees. Continue walking East until you reach Cerulean City. When you get to Cerulean City heal your Pokémon and walk North to Route 24. Route 24 & 25 Once you defeat them all you can progress to Route 25 where you will meet a team Rocket Grunt. Talk to him and you will receive a free Nugget (And a surprise battle :3) After beating him, start to walk East. Defeat the trainers and arrive at Bill's house. Once inside, talk to Bill and he will ask for your help. He has lost his research book and if you can find it for him he will reward you. You might get tired after looking through all his bookshelves and resort to help chat or this guide. His research book is under his pillow, take it and talk to Bill again to receive your reward; a ticket to the SS Anne. Cerulean City After you return to Cerulean City you should start to train your Pokémon to around level 25. Use the trainers from the nearby routes and the tall grass on Route 24 to help level them. Once you feel like your Pokémon are strong enough you can challenge the gym. Misty uses Water Type Pokémon so grass or electric types will work well against her. She uses a Poliwag, a Horsea and a Starmie. I recommend you level your Pokémon to around level 25 for this gym. After defeating her you will be rewarded with the Cascade Badge which gives you the ability to use HM Cut outside of battle. You can also purchase TM11 - Bubblebeam from the man at the front of the gym. Something to remember in Cerulean City is the bike shop. After you buy the bike ticket from Vermilion you can trade it for a bike here. Route 5 & 6 After defeating the Cerulean gym you should continue south to Route 5. On Route 5 you will find the daycare center however it's good to note that breeding is not in PRO. Instead, the daycare is used to teach your Pokémon egg moves after defeating the Naero boss. This is end game content and won't be covered in this guide, if you want to learn more about bosses then check out this guide: Boss Guide. At the end of Route 5, you will find this underground passage. Use it to travel to Route 6 where you can continue the story. Once you arrive at Route 6 you will be able to battle a few trainers. Make your way to the entrance to Vermilion and talk to Psychic Wade. He will teleport you to an alternate reality where Lance has destroyed Vermilion City. Confront Lance and you will be engaged into a battle with him. He will use his Dragonair which spams Hyper Beam; slowly eliminating each one of your Pokémon. After he beats you, you will be teleported to the Vermilion Pokécenter. Rush back to Wade and talk to him, after you finish talking to him you can progress to Vermilion City and the SS Anne. SS Anne To start the SS Anne quest you will first need to talk to Lt. Surge at the Vermilion Docks.He will return to his gym and you will be able to enter the cruise ship. If you didn't get the SS Anne ticket from Bill then you will have to walk all the way back to Route 25 and complete his quest. When you enter the SS Anne, talk to the usher and he will escort you to your room. Log in to the PC next to your bed and he will move from your doorway. Whenever your Pokémon need healing you should come back to your room and interact with your bed. As you continue you can go into each room of the ship and battle trainers. To maximize your EXP I recommend that you battle all of the trainers on the ship. Make your way to the first floor and enter the kitchen; located on the far left. Make sure you have a Pecha berry to give to the doctor, if you don't have one in your inventory then there will be one in a trash can. Talk to the doctor in the kitchen and offer to help him cure the captain. When you show him the Pecha berry he will tell you to go the second floor and meet Jenson.Go to the second floor and enter the room on the far right. In here you can talk to Jenson who will ask you to find his Blissey in the ballroom as it holds the secret potion. Make your way upstairs again. From there you have the option to beat Jackson again. You might as well as it's some free EXP and he probably deserves it. Continue to the ballroom and head to the upper floor where you will find Jenson's Blissey. Talk to it and it will disappear and leave you with the secret potion.Now you can return to the second floor and find the captain. On the way there you can pick up some leftovers from this trash can, Once you get to the captain's quarters you can give him the potion in return for HM Cut. You can now leave the SS Anne and fight the Vermilion gym.You cannot return to the SS Anne after leaving. Vermilion City Lt. Surge's gym puzzle is probably the most annoying one out of the Kanto gyms. Instead of having something cool like teleporters or... teleporters, he has a bunch of trash cans switches and two of those switches need to be activated in the correct order. When guessing the switches you will mostly see this: However, once you trigger the first switch you will see: You now have to find the second switch in the sequence by going through all the switches again. However, if you click the wrong switch then you'll have to start again, so you better remember where that first switch was. Once you finally find both correct switches you will be able to progress and battle Lt. Surge. Surge specializes in Electric Types so ground type Pokémon will be most effective against him. He uses a Voltorb, Pikachu, Electrode and Raichu. I recommend you level your Pokémon to around level 35 for this gym. Upon beating him you will be rewarded with the Thunder Badge and you'll be able to buy TM24 - Thunderbolt from the man at the entrance. When exploring Vermilion you can go inside this house and receive a free Old Rod. You will need to collect this in order to gain access to the Good Rod and eventually the Super Rod. You can also enter the house next to the Pokécenter and help the boy. Upon paying him $60,000 & giving him an OT Ditto, Samuel will thank you by giving you the bike voucher. You can trade this voucher in at the Cerulean Bike store to receive your bike and gain access to the bike route. Diglett's Cave After you are done in Vermilion, head East to Route 11. Here you can talk to a karate expert outside of Diglett's Cave and he will move out the way.Enter the cave and follow it through to Route 2. Once there you should head South to the stophouse. Talk to Oak's aide and he will check your Pokédex. You need to have caught 10 different species of Pokémon. You can check your caught data by going to your Pokédex and looking at the number next to "Owned." Now that you have HM Flash you can go back to Cerulean City and go East to Route 9. Rock Tunnel After travelling through Route 9 and beating the trainers there, you will have to enter Rock Tunnel. However, similar to Viridian Maze, Rock Tunnel is pitch black so you will have to teach one of your Pokémon HM Flash.To use Flash outside of battle you have to, first, click the Pokémon in your party and then click the move "Flash." Now your vision should be a lot better. Follow the cave through, it's mostly linear but if you are having issues finding the correct ladders then here they are in order. Once you escape Rock Tunnel, head South to Lavender Town. Upon arrival you will hear two guards talking about crime in Celadon City. Since you cannot do anything in Lavender Town yet you must go West to Route 8. Route 7 & 8 There are a lot of trainers on Route 8 which means there is a lot of EXP to be gained. There is also a hidden abandoned Growlithe behind this tree. After beating the trainers on Route 8 go to the underground tunnel and continue East to Route 7. There is nothing interesting on Route 7 so continue to Celadon City. Celadon City When you arrive at Celadon City the first thing you might notice is Sergeant Rick. Team Rocket has set up base in the Gamecorner and Rick needs help infiltrating it. To start the quest you need to offer your help. Enter the Gamecorner and talk to Greg. He will lead you downstairs. Once you are downstairs, talk to Greg again and he will leave. However, clumsily, he will forget his lift key. Pick it up and use the lift at the bottom of the hideout. Use the lift to go to B2F where you will meet Jackson. Fight him and defeat him in a battle. When you beat him he will get really upset and alert Team Rocket of your whereabouts. Walk around and you will be captured by Team Rocket. Whilst in this room you can use the crates to hoist yourself over the wall and attempt an escape. If a Team Rocket member sees you then you will be transported back to where you started. In B2F there is a large maze with some items scattered around it. Go through the maze, following the red arrows and exit the maze with the green arrow. Once you collect all the items go down the second flight of stairs to B3F and fight Greg. After you beat him go through the smaller maze and down the staircase. Once you're in B4F defeat the Supervisor to get the Card Key. Go back upstairs to B2F and through the large maze again. Take the lift to B4F and use the Card Key on the hidden door. Fight Giovanni and after you defeat him he will run from the building. You can now pick up the Silph Scope from Giovanni's table. You now need to look in each receptor for an Eevee. There are 2 receptors in Giovanni's room, 1 on the other side of B4F and 2 more on B3F. After you find the Eevee you can now leave the Gamecorner and talk to Sergeant Rick. He will reward you for your hard work with the Eevee that you just saved. Now that you've beaten Giovanni you can talk to these Team Rocket members and they will run from the city. You now have access to the Celadon gym. Heal your Pokémon and go challenge it. Erika specializes in Grass Type Pokémon so fire, poison, bug and ice type Pokémon will help you a lot. She uses 3 Pokémon, a Victreebell, an Ivysaur and a Vileplume. I recommend you level your Pokémon to around level 45 for this gym. After you beat her you are given the Rainbow Badge which gives you access to trading with other players. This opens the option to do evolutionary trades which can be useful later on. You can also buy TM21 - Mega Drain from the man at the front of her gym. Exit the gym and you will be put into a battle with Red. Just like Lance's Dragonair he is highly over-levelled compared to you so defeat is almost inevitable. Once the battle is over you can head back to Lavender Town. Lavender Town When you arrive at Lavender Town the first thing you should do is snoop around Mr. Fuji's house. There will be some notes on his desk; interact with them and continue to Lavender Tower. Enter Lavender Tower and work your way to the top floor. You won't need to worry about going back to heal your Pokémon as half way up there is a Nurse Joy. When you get to the 6th floor you will have to use the Silph Scope to reveal the spirit of a Marowak which is blocking your path. You can't catch it so once you KO it move on to the 7th and final floor. There you will have to defeat a few Team Rocket Grunts and save Mr. Fuji. Once you save him he will reward you with the Poké Flute. Leave the tower and return to Mr. Fuji's house and engage in some dialogue with him. When he is finished talking you can go South of Lavender Town to Route 12. Route 12, 13, 14 & 15 Follow Route 12 South until you find the sleeping Snorlax. Use the Poké Flute to wake it up and try you best to capture it. Once you either KO or capture it you can now use the stophouse to the left for a faster way to get to Vermilion City. In the upper floor of the Route 11 stophouse there is another Oak's aide who will give you Dig after you capture 30 different Pokémon. Continue South on Route 12 until you reach a small patch of grass. There is a hidden rare candy here that respawns once every 14 days. Pick it up and continue the wooden path to Route 13. On Route 13 there is a large maze with a lot of trainers in it and at the end of it, Berry Tower.You can battle in Berry Tower and win.. you guessed it, berries. If you don't need berries then continue the path South to Route 14. Once on Route 14 head Southwest to Route 15 then finally follow Route 15 West until you reach Fuschia City. Fuschia City Unlike some other cities, the first thing you should do in Fuschia is defeat the gym. Janine, the leader of the gym has many other lookalikes in her gym and you have to work your way through them and an invisible maze. Follow this route to battle each trainer and get to the gym leader. Janine uses Poison Type Pokémon so ground and psychic type Pokémon will easily take care of her. She uses a Crobat, 2 Weezings, an Ariados and a Venomoth. I recommend you level your Pokémon to around level 55 for this gym. After you beat her you will be rewarded with the Soul Badge. You can also buy TM6 - Toxic from the clerk at the front of her gym. When you leave the gym walk south until you meet Victor on the beach. Battle him and he will tell you where to find HM Surf. You can also teach any Pikachu Surf if and only if you chose Pikachu as your starter. Head to the North side of Fuschia and enter the Safari Building. Here you can pay $5,000 for 20 minutes of safari time. When you are teleported to the Safari Entrance follow these directions to get to Safari Area 3: East to Safari Area 1 -> North-East to Safari Entrance -> West to Safari Area 2 -> South to Safari Area 3 When you get there, enter this house and HM Surf will be waiting for you on the wooden table. From here you can also enter the Safari Exclusive Area if you bought a membership to PRO. More info on Membership only areas can be found here. Now that you have HM Surf you can either use up the rest of your safari time looking for rare Pokémon or you can use an escape rope to be teleported to your last used Pokécenter. Before you leave Fuschia City, make sure to visit the Fishing Guru's house where you can purchase the Good Rod for $15,000. You must have the Old Rod first in order to buy the Good Rod. Journey to Saffron From Fuschia City you can either head West to Route 18 and follow the Bike Route to Celadon City (Require the bike quest to be completed to enter this area) or head East and go back to Lavender Town When trying to enter Saffron you will be told by the stophouse guards that they will only let you pass if you give them some Lemonade. To get the Lemonade you will have to return to Celadon City and go to the Celadon Mart. Go to the top floor of the Mart and purchase one Lemonade from the vending machine. Before you leave the Celadon Mart you can talk to this Thief and complete hist side quest to unlock TM46 -Thief. Here is a link to a guide on the quest. Take the Lemonade to one of the stophouse guards and give it to him. He will tell the other guards to let you in in the future. Saffron City The first thing you should do is visit the Saffron Dojo. In there you can fight some trainers for some easy EXP and once you defeat Koichi you can take either Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan. After you are done here you can progress to Silph Co. When you arrive at Silph Co. your first impression might be that you have to spend 20 minutes spamming warp panels until you get it correct. However, this isn't the case as a matter of fact, you only need to use 2 warp panels to get to Giovanni. But I highly recommend taking your time and battling all the Team Rocket Grunts to gain as much EXP as you can. Once you feel that you are ready then go to the 3rd floor and take the first warp panel. Then take the next panel opposite the bed. Once you use those warp panels you will have to battle Blue to prove that you're ready to fight Giovanni. After beating Blue you can fight Giovanni. Make sure to be over-levelled or bring some potions as he seems to cause some issues for many players. After you beat Giovanni he will flee from the building and you can talk to the Silph Co. Director. As a reward, he will give you a Master Ball some Rare Candies. You're now finished with Silph Co. Make your way to the Pokécenter and heal your Pokémon for the 6th gym. To most the Saffron Gym puzzle can be both confusing and frustrating, it's almost as bad as Vermilion's puzzle. However, similar to the Silph Co. warp pads I've put together an image that shows you the fastest way to Sabrina. Simply follow these directions: Up -> Down -> Down -> Left. Sabrina is the Psychic Type gym leader. Bug, ghost and dark type Pokémon are recommended to ensure a victory. Sabrina uses a Hypno, Mr. Mime, Espeon and an Alakazam. I recommend you level your Pokémon to around level 65 for this gym. After beating it you will be rewarded with the Marsh Badge and you'll be able to purchase TM29 - Psychic from the man at the front of the gym. Journey to Cinnabar There are two ways that you can travel to Cinnabar Island from. You can surf either South from Pallet Town or Southwest from Fuschia. If you surf from Pallet Town then you'll encounter a few trainers and eventually arrive at the North side of Cinnabar. If you surf from Fuschia, however, you will have to go through the Seafoam Islands. You can also surf Southeast from Fuschia to start the free Arcanine mount quest. If you chose the Seafoam Route then you'll eventually surf to these islands. Enter through the cave entrance and walk East in the cave. There is no need to use any ladders unless you're looking to level your Pokémon. Just carry on East until you reach the exit. After you exit the islands, continue to surf West until you reach Cinnabar Island. Cinnabar Island Once you arrive at Cinnabar Island, if you talk to the guard outside the gym he will tell you that you need to bring him a key which is hidden in the Cinnabar Mansion. Enter the Mansion and go to the second floor. From there you should take the staircase at the North side of the second floor. When you reach the 3rd floor you are given the option to enter one of five doors. Each one will lead you to a different location in the mansion; some lead you outside of the mansion. When you find the correct door you should end up in B1F. Head to the west side of the room and interact with the bookshelves. You will pass through the wall and be able to take the Mansion Key. When you retrieve the key from Cinnabar Mansion you can talk to the guard outside of the gym and he will leave, allowing you to pass. Work your way through the gym and it's trainers until you reach the last trainer on the first floor. There will be a small scene between Lt. Surge and Blaine involving Mew. When Mew leaves you can go downstairs and find Blaine. Blaine is the Fire Type gym leader. Water, ground and rock type Pokémon will help you defeat him. He is the first gym leader to use 5 Pokémon. Those being Arcanine, Rapidash, Charizard, Ninetales and Magmar. I recommend you level your Pokémon to around level 75 for this gym. Defeating Blaine will give you the Volcano badge, you can also buy TM35 - Flamethrower from the man at the front of his gym. You also gain access to the fossil recovery room at the Cinnabar Research Lab. Finally, now that you've defeated the 7th gym you are allowed to enter the fossil recovery room at the Cinnabar Research Lab. From here you can revive any fossils that you pick up on your journey. In the lab, you can also talk to Davis and receive a free Porygon after you have 100 caught data on your Pokédex. Viridian City Gym When you're done at Cinnabar Island you can head North to go back to Pallet Town. From there continue to head North to Viridian City.If you were taking your time with the story that Rare Candy might've respawned. Anyways, go to the gym and enter it. Inside you will meet Blue and he'll tell you about how strong Giovanni really is. If you feel like you're prepared then continue. Despite Giovanni having 6 Pokémon with him, he will only use one. His Armoured Mewtwo; a Steel/ Psychic type. Dark, ground, ghost and fire type Pokémon will be extremely useful in this battle. I highly recommend you level your Pokémon to around level 85 before challenging this gym. By beating Giovanni you are rewarded with the Earth Badge and access to the Kanto Elite 4. You can also buy TM26 - Earthquake at the gym. Giovanni will now disband Team Rocket and never be seen again. Victory Road To get to Victory Road you will have to head West of Viridian City, through Route 22. Talk to the guards outside of the reception and they will let you pass. Once you're inside, head North and meet Red. He will battle you and probably completely destroy you again. After the battle is over he will move and you'll be free to go through Victory Road. Go through and beat all the trainers as you really need the EXP for the Elite 4. As you make your way through and come to the exit you will encounter Moltres. (You might not see it due to the mass amounts of players in the area, but it's right in front of the exit.) Interact with it to initiate a battle. Something to note is that you can not catch Moltres. Currently, the only legendary Pokémon that you can catch are Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, one of the Legendary Dogs (Suicune, Raikou, Entei), Heatran, one of the Legendary Lake Trio (Azelf, Uxie, Mespirit), one of the Eons (Latios, Latias), Phione and Genesect. After you KO it you can move through the exit and into the Indigo Plateau. Here you will see two building and Youngster Joey. As you're doing the Kanto Elite 4 you will need to go to the East building. As you walk there you will be congratulated by all the Kanto gym leaders as well as your mother. Now that you've beaten Victory Road it is time for you to train your Pokémon so they are ready for the Elite 4. Use the exit of Victory Road as a hotspot for EXP. Alternatively, you can travel back to Seafoam Islands and use the lower floors to level up your Pokémon. Once your Pokémon each reach around level 90 you will be ready for the Elite 4. Stock up on potions and revives and enter via the door at the back of the center. Kanto Elite 4 Lorelie is the first member of the Kanto Elite 4. She specializes in Ice and Water type Pokémon. Her party consists of a Dewgong, Slowbro, Lapras, Jinx and Cloyster. Electric type Pokémon can wipe this team with ease. After defeating her you will be allowed to progress to the next member of the E4. Continue to the room behind her where you will meet your next challenge. Bruno, the second member of the Elite 4 is a Rock and Fighting type expert. He uses an Onix, Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee, Machamp and another Onix. Using Psychic type Pokémon will aid you in this fight, however, Bruno is probably the easiest member of the Elite 4. By beating him you will be allowed to progress to the next member of the Elite 4, Agatha. Agatha is the third member of the Elite 4. She is a Poison and Ghost type trainer. She uses a Gengar, Crobat, Haunter, Arbok and a Mega Gengar. Similar to Bruno, using Psychic type Pokémon will help you greatly in this fight. Sucker Punch is also an easy way to take out her strong ghost Pokémon. After you beat her you can pass to Lance, the final member of the Elite 4. Lance is the final member of the Elite 4 and specializes in Dragon Type Pokémon. He uses his Gyarados, Dragonair, Dragonite, Aerodactyl, Tyranitar and Charizard. Four of which aren't dragon type Pokémon. Water and Electric type Pokémon can wipe this team off the face of the earth. Upon beating him he will allow you to pass to the Kanto Champion, where you will fight to become the champion of the region. Heal your Pokémon with the potions and revives that you bought and progress to the next room. So I've been calling him Blue this entire time. But his name is actually Gary? Anyways.. Gary is the champion of Kanto, he is a bit of a rebel and doesn't use a monotype team. Instead, he uses a Pidgeot, Alakazam, Rhydon, Arcanine, Mega Blastoise and an Exeggutor. You shouldn't have too much trouble beating him.After he is defeated, he will congratulate you on your victory. Walk behind him and talk to Professor Oak who will bring you back to Pallet Town. Finishing Kanto and starting Johto Now that you're the Kanto Champion you can access Johto. Go back to Oak's lab and talk to him, he will tell you of Johto and how to get there. Now go back to the Indigo Plateau Reception where you fought Red. Walk South and talk to the guards in front of the exit. They will allow you to pass. You can now travel through Route 26 to go to Johto. Continue walking South and you will eventually reach Route 27, from there you should walk West until your reach Tohjo Falls.If you surf North a little you will find an abandoned Crobat. Exit Tohjo Falls and carry on walking West. Start surfing and you will finally reach Johto. BEWARE: Once you enter Johto there is no turning back until you beat the 8th gym. All your Kanto Pokémon will be locked in you PC and you won't be able to use them unlit you beat the 8th gym. If you wanted to do anything in Kanto before you go to Johto you should do it now! If you are ready for Johto then click "Yes" and walk forwards. This concludes my Kanto Walkthrough. Thanks for reading
