So after lots of testing I finally have a pretty solid Team thats (imo) is a perfect mix between speed and safety. And now that the team and my notes are finished I thought I might aswell share it THE TEAM So thats the standard team with my standard items. Whenever there is nothing next to Poke in my notes these are the items and Pokes used. So EV wise the only important thing pretty much is to get at least 240 SPD on Golduck and Dugtrio to be able to outspeed Brock's Mega Aerodactyl (which is the fastest Mega Poke Bosses use) after 1 Cotton Spore. And full ATK on Pangoro. The rest I just put in either DEF / SPDEF / HP to be able to tank an attack or 2 just in case. (I might reduce Golducks SPD EVs and put the remaining in DEF / SPDEF and if I did Pango again I would put the SPD EVs in HP instead but it doesn't really matter tbh.) Nature wise it doesn't really matter for most of them. Pangoro needs Adamant and afaik even 1 IV would work if EV trained in ATK. For the rest anything should work but it sure helps if they have any +DEF / +SPDEF nature that doesn't reduce DEF / SPDEF. Ability wise Pangoro needs Mold Breaker and Whimsy / Cottonee need Prankster. For the rest it doesn't matter. On Golduck it would be prefered to have Cloud Nine to get rid of weather effects (can be important for example on Lorelei Boss if you wanna use Sash in case of a Crit.) THE STRATEGY Whimsicott - Mainly used to Switcheroo Lagging Tail on the opponent to be able to go first and then Memento if its still alive (don't try to Flash with it cause Choice Items could lock you into it) Golduck - Usually Yawn first then Simple beam - if its still alive Flash 3 x then Yawn again and switch to Cottonee as soon as opponent is asleep again Cottonee - 1 x Flash then Memento (if you already managed to get 3 x Flash done with Golduck already then just Memento) Dugtrio - 1 x Stealth Rock (when needed) then remaining Flash (if not done 3 x already) then Memento Huntail - Setup Substitute then Aqua Ring then 3 x Shell Smash then Baton Pass to Pangoro (each time Substitute breaks use it again) Pangoro - Pretty much only Power Trip - except for Pokes that can give you Status on contact or that can disable your Moves on contact - will be mentioned in my notes) If the Boss leads with with a Mega Poke (will be in the Notes) we use Cotton Spore on Whimsy instead for Switcheroo (cause Mega Stones can not be switched / stolen). You can use another Cotton Spore on Cottonee if you want / can mange one. THE NOTES The Notes probably were the most work of all of this. I pretty much updated them with each run whenever I noticed something new and they are still a WIP. But they are pretty solid by now and there shouldn't be any problems if you follow them. They are, however, based on my team. So if you use them with other Teams they might not work aswell. For example: The Stealth Rock / no Stealth Rock note only works if you have a Mold Breaker Poke cause I only checked which Bosses have a sashed Poke in their Team. The Notes should be pretty self explanitory but just in case here some explanations: So the Top Row are the Boss - the closest Pokecenter to reach him - the Map he is in - and special Requirements if there are any Second Row has the Bosses Team (on Hard) and notes if you need some other move than Power Trip on Pango Third Row has my Team used in the order I use them - different items used and if Stealth Rock is needed or not (if it doesn't mention any items I just use the standard ones) Here we have an example for a Poke where u have a different move on Pango. Cause that Volca could give "burn" status to our Pango. You could also give it a Lum Berry but I prefer it to hold a Sash in case somthing went wrong during setup or for whatever reason (Crits can always happen). If we had to use a different Poke or Item it would look like this: Here we have an example for alternative Item and 2 alternative Pokes cause Steven needs you to have 2 Steel Type Pokes in your Team. So as you can see whenever there is something different from the standard team with the standard items it will be in the notes in Red. You can find them attached at the bottom of the Thread and I will try to upload a updated version whenever I change something. THE ALTERNATIVES / ADDITIONS These are some alternative Pokes / Pokes used for certain Bosses. Mostly Steven actually since he needs you to have 2 Steel Pokes in your Team as already mentioned. Linoone can be a Substitute for Golduck but I prefer Golduck for Yawn. Skarmory can be a Substitute for Dugtrio but it's harder to hunt and sometimes takes forever to be killed off by the Boss. And Bosses can start switching if the run out of PP. That's why I prefer Dugtrio for Memento. Klefki can be a Substitute for Whimsicott but it's also harder to hunt and also can take forever to be killed off by the Boss. I hope I got everything covered now. If I forget anything or you have any questions just feel free to ask. Also I am not sure about the "Remaining" Section since I stopped doing those due to the 20 Bosses per Week limit. Thx for reading Bosses for Guide.docx

Hm. Does not work for me and some Guild Mates tho. Weird.

Yeah. Spatk can't be Baton Passed for some reason. Pretty sure Staff is already aware about it.

Hy there, I have a small suggestion again... It would be really helpful if Bosses would heal your Pokes before the battle and that you get to rearrange your Pokes before battle or at least to pick the lead. It's mostly to help me against being stupid. Cause when I do bosses I usually lead with my Klefki that has only Status Moves. Now if i walk to a Boss with Digletts or Magnet Pull Magnemites I can only relog and walk there again. When I put another Poke in lead I usually forget to reorder them again until its too late :D And that often costs me the win :-/ The healing would be nice cause on the way to the boss theres sometimes Battles and here again I usually forget to refill HP/PPs ofc. The second one isn't that important. Both are ofc only suggestions but it really would be nice if at least the first one gets considered :-) Thx and greetings, OnkelLes

You might wanna check out this. Idk if it's true 100% since its made by a Player and not confirmed by any Staff, but it sure is helpful anyway :-)

Hi there, It would be really nice to give some kind of mark to Event Pokes in the Computer. Like the "S" on Shiny. For me it wouldn't need to be different for each Event. Just a "E" for Event for example in the same color as the "S" on Shinys would already really help. Some of the event Pokes are really hard to spot (Valtentines Spearow Family is best example) and I am afraid that I delete one on accident when clearing the PC. Thx :-)

Really good idea

100% agreed. Imo no need to change anything about it.

Yeah. I like that idea. Console Command would also work for me ;-)

Hi PRO Team, Is it maybe possible to add a Tool for Waterfall. Not only for bossing but also sometimes you discover a Waterfall you want to go up but can't cause u don't have your Waterfall Poke with you. Would be awesome. Thx

Yeah, that'd be great :-)

There is already something like that. You just need to swipe down from the top of the screen. It takes a little practise but it works fine for me. Just give it a try :-)

Thats a great idea, imo...

Hy PRO Stuff, Can't you change the restriction of being in the same Pokecenter for trading. Or at least for lends. Theres many people in Help chat who ask for Toxic TM for example or some Poke to beat a certain Poke in the story and its hard to help them if you are in another region. I dont want to spend 10k+ on travel just to help someone out. Same for Items. I sometimes send them via Mail, but that can get expensive over the time. So it would really help if both just have to be in any Pokecenter. Would also help a loooot with trade evos. Often people need help with Trade evos in Hoenn Vic Road (Huntail for Sinnoh quest) or Indigo (Gengar for E4) and its a pain to go there, or expensive. Would be much appreciated if you could change that. Thx :-)

Some kind of blacklist for PMs really would be nice... I am not a big fan of recent chat rules changes. Why are rates and price checks now allowed in help chat. I know people were alwaxs asking for rates and price checks there, but waaay less and if you told them wrong channel they usually quit. Now they spam the same question over and over cause they want their rate for every Pokemon they catch. And it sometimes makes it really hard not to oversee the people who really need help. I am in help chat alot and I like it there. But that new rule made it harder for us "help chat regulars" to help imo.
