Beat the elite 4, but I can barely beat any of the trainers on R11 o.o

What should I do?

Do I need a new team? Current: Samurott, Sawk, Unfesant, Zebstrika, Reshiram and Gigalith

Your team is fine, though it would do better without that crappy Unfezant there and I would sugest looking into Eelektross as your electric pokemon (one of the best in the game, IMO).

What version do you have, White or Black? If you have White, Rufflet/Braviary is the best pick for a Flying pokemon

ya, zebstrika is very good for the early game (with the nice variety of moves it learns) but once you get into the late game, the other pokemon become better

that's why i switched to eelektross

Are you going to Thunderstone evolve it as soon as you hit Eelektrik or are you going to wait until you get Zap Cannon?

Zap Cannon is useless.  The accuracy is too unreliable.  Unless Eelektrik/Eelektross gets No Guard, I can't see getting Zap Cannon being worthwhile.



Pixel Art can be fun.

Yeah I know, still some people like to use it (i've had it used against me on battles on SS/HG). Inferno (this gen) falls on the same category.

Trust me, once you start fighting the level 47 - 50 Audino's and have them killing you on one hit with a Take Down or Double-Edge, you'll start seeing how ridiculous it is >_<.

That damn Hustle ability of his make any physical attack like a damn russian roulette.

Wait, what?

Okay, so I'm just cruising along Pinwheel Forest (I think? It's between the second and third gym cities), fighting Audino, when outta nowhere Panpour (the water monkey?) shows up in the Shaking Grass! Explanations, anyone? I thought they were supposed to be starter-specific.

Nope, there's a 10% chance to find any of the elemental apes on the shaking grass in the Pinwheel forest. That's where I got all of mine

You know your pokemon is completely overpowered when you get a 21 winning streak on the Battle Subway using only that pokemon. Hydreigon&Dark Pulse combo FTW.

Subway Master Ingo here I come.

That's stupid, ;P. I thought I'd just magically stumbled upon a non-existent phenomenon.
