In-depth 100% guides for Pokemon Reborn & Rejuvenation

Pokemon Rejuvenation Walkthrough

Walkthrough last updated 13 Nov 2024 @ 18:19 GMT
Based on game ver. 13.5.6

Chapter 1: Crossroads of Destiny

One way or another, we’re going to break the cycle. Together.

Welcome to my 100% walkthrough of Pokemon Rejuvenation!

My aim with this document is to provide a complete route through the game including every single item (including hidden items), available Pokemon, some tips for battle strategies, shop and tutor details, and more.

There are some parts that may spoil events that happen later in the game. I don’t directly summarize story details, but you may want to consider playing the game once first without referencing this walkthrough if spoilers are a concern.

Prologue

The game will start off asking if you want to skip the prologue. Rejuvenation is a very story-focused game, so I recommend viewing it if it is your first time playing. If you do skip the prologue, jump ahead to the next section.

As soon as you’re done reading the Zorua and Pangoro story, take control of Maria and head downstairs to talk to Mom. Enter the bottom room on the left side of the first floor. Go downstairs and interact with the summoning table.

Head back upstairs and talk to Dad in the top-left room. Return to the kitchen to talk to Mom, then go upstairs. After a brief flash and the sound of breaking glass, go back downstairs and talk with the mysterious figure. Head back down to the basement to watch the cutscene.

After regaining control of Marianette, head down, east, and up through the hallway and watch the final cutscene of the prologue play out.

S.S. Oceana

The game will ask which difficulty mode you’d prefer. I would recommend Story Mode for those that found Reborn too difficult. On the other hand, I would recommend Classic Mode to anyone looking for a challenge. Regardless of choice, the game allows you to change your difficulty setting later if you want. I will be covering battles in this guide as they appear in Classic Mode.

Register yourself as a trainer by choosing a gender and a “profile”. You can even take a personality test to choose one!

Amanda will ask if you want to input a password. You can see password details in the appendices, though I recommend against using any for a first run.

Exit the first room and talk to Nancy. This is the first of instances that get you relationship points with characters, which affect how they view you, certain story events, and more. Any dialogue options which are not listed do not affect relationship points.

Relationship Point Choices:

Once you’ve talked to Nancy and can roam, explore the S.S. Oceana. In this game, talking to everyone and everything you see is vital to discovering new Pokemon and items, so it’s a good idea to talk to everyone aboard.

Optionally, head down the stairs to the left. In each of the two leftmost rooms on this floor, you can interact with a notch on the wall to listen in on two conversations: one with unknown figures and the other including Nancy. Head up the stairs.

Head up two flights of stairs to talk to Captain Augustus. He’ll explain a few of Rejuvenation’s mechanics. Head downstairs and enter the double doors. Talk to Nancy to get the banquet started, when you’re ready.

Once you regain control, follow the path and watch the events play out.

After either skipping the boat scenes or watching the cutscenes, talk to Tesla. Once you regain control, you can explore Oceana Pier.

If you want to talk to the woman on the northeast pier, you can get an all-expenses paid trip to Hoenn! Congratulations on finishing the game! Just kidding, of course. Our real journey has only just begun!

Otherwise, there’s not much to do here yet, so head into the gate on the north side.

Gearen Laboratory

The trainers won’t let you head west or east quite yet, so head into the building north.

After talking to Jan and Amanda, head into the room in the top left.

You’ll then get to pick a starter Pokemon!. If you talk to the rainbow-colored machine on the right side, it will randomly choose for you among the 24 starters.

You can quick save with ‘D’ in front of the Pokemon you choose and use F12 to soft reset for natures, IV’s, shininess, and abilities. All Pokemon in this game have an equal chance to get hidden abilities, and the shiny rate is increased to a little over 1/100.

Once you’ve picked your starter, talk to Amanda for a battle! You can win or lose this battle.

Note that in this game you can press “S” to check the stats of all the Pokemon, as well as all secondary effects in play. After the battle, she’ll give you 5 Poke Balls.

Head downstairs to talk to Jenner and you’ll fight:

VS: Pokémon Trainer Ren
Field: No Field

Froakie (M), Lv. 5 Ability: Protean - Pound - Growl Hardy Nature EVs: All 7 IVs: All 4

After the fight with Ren, Jenner asks you to visit Route 1 to help Melia. He then gives you the Pokedex and the Cybernav! Head back downstairs.

The EV training center can be accessed by talking to the woman on the right of the counter, but none of its training rooms are open right now.

The guy running in place on the left will offer to give you cinematic bars during important cutscenes if you want. Talk to the girl behind the counter to buy some basic products.

Shop: Gearen Lab
Poke Ball $200
Potion $300
Repel $350
Antidote $100

I recommend picking up at least a few Poke Balls as a full team is almost necessary to succeed in Rejuvenation.

There is a quest available here by talking to an NPC next to the nurse - I will cover it with the other “Help Center” quests later. When you’re ready, head back outside.

Oceana Pier

A few things have opened up at the pier, so head south first.

You’ll find a Nidoran M eating. Talk to it with a GourmetTreat for a battle.

The garden to the south is also now open, so you can catch level 5 Fletchling here by interacting with them. The bottom right tile in the garden here has a Sweet Heart, and there is an X Accuracy two tiles left and one up from there.

Head into the building on the west side that’s now unlocked. Talk to the man with the yellow hair, then exit the building and watch Buizel run by. This starts a quest we’ll complete later. Return to East Gearen.

East Gearen City

It’s worth noting that the Cybernav in this game has a feature called the Spice Scent which allows you to modify your encounter rate for free! This means you can crank it up high to get an encounter on every step, walk in grass hassle free by setting it to zero, or anything in between. It also means that Repels are effectively useless, so selling the ones we find is the way to go.

East Gearen City Encounters: Grass

Hoothoot 2-3 -- -- 15%
Chingling 3-5 -- -- 6%

Chingling can help in the fight against the gym dramatically, especially if you manage to evolve it. However, it is rare here and can be found much more reliably later.

To the right of the entrance to the lab, in a rock, you’ll find a hidden Ice Heal. To the left of the Oceana Pier entrance below, you’ll find a hidden Poke Ball in another rock. The empty space in the grass above contains a hidden GourmetTreat. We’ll want some of these later to get event Pokemon.

Enter the “Velvet Building” here. On 1F you can get a Great Ball. Talk to the NPC in the center to choose between a Mineral Ball (left) and a Steam Ball (right).

To the right, you can get a hidden Burn Heal in a box. We can’t do anything in the nearby “Violet Building”. Don’t cross the bridge above quite yet either - instead, return to the area south of the Lab.

Head to the right now. If you talk to the nerd on the east side of the bottom street, he’ll give you Reverse Candy. In a rock below is a hidden Potion.

It’s worth noting that battles in Gearen City take place on the City Field. Unlike Reborn, Rejuvenation doesn’t have an in-game field note application, so you’ll need to look at the field note text file in the game download folder or the wiki to get details on fields.

Nearby is a house containing the Name Rater, though this is redundant as we can change nicknames in the menu. One tile to the right of its door contains a hidden Oran Berry. Down and right from here is a rock containing a Green Shard.

Up from here, you’ll see an alleyway containing dumpsters. Just below the gates of this alleyway, you can get a hidden Yellow Shard halfway up the sidewalk on the right. Up in the alleyway you can find a hidden Super Repel at the end of the small path to the left, and a hidden GourmetTreat in the right side of the stack of three boxes. Talk to Nidoran F here, and it will run off. Head back down and left.

Enter the Magnolia Library here. Upstairs, talk to Zumi on the right, and she’ll start us on the PictoZumi Pokedex collection quest. We’ll be back once we catch a Dedenne for her. Downstairs, pay the entrance fee of $300 if you want to talk to some NPCs beyond for lore.

After doing all this you may be strong enough to complete the final quest of this area for now. If you try to cross into the northwest side of the city, a thug will force you to pay $300 or to battle him.

Wingull, Lv. 12 Ability: Hydration - Water Pulse - Wing Attack - Supersonic - Growl Hardy Nature EVs: All 18 IVs: All 10

When you win you can access the northwest area! (+1 Karma). This game has diverging story paths, and your level of Karma will affect which story paths you can complete.

Go up and left from the bridge. You can get a hidden Super Potion in a rock here, and a hidden Yellow Shard above a dumpster. A gap in the grass below some trees right of the train station contains a hidden Red Shard.

Talk to Nidoran F again and it will run off once more. There are a few more locations it will run to: the southeast side of the map, then a bench near the library. It will then run to the side of the Violet Building on the west, where you can battle and catch Nidoran F!

Head to further to the right from the lab than we did before. You’ll see a screen flash to indicate we are now on the right-most side of East Gearen City, instead of the left-most side where we were before. Of course, there is a West Gearen City that we will visit far later in the game, so don’t get it twisted.

Grab a hidden Heart Scale in a canister below a house. Enter the “Aqua Building” here. On 1F, you can get the Old Rod and an Iron.

If you lose this battle, or any battle, you’ll find yourself warped to the “Edge of My World” map. On this map, you can get 5 Exp. Candy S once a day. Standing on the warp returns you to the rest of the game.

Anyways, head back to East Gearen City (Right). Cross the bridge to the right of the Aqua Building.

Return to East Gearen (Right). Past the factory above, you can go between fenceposts to get a Super Potion and hidden Resist Wing behind it. A rock on the right contains a hidden Super Repel. Down from here, a rock inside of a rectangle of grass contains a hidden Potion.

Speaking of grass, different Pokemon live on this side of the City:

The man here will attempt to sell you Poke Balls at $400 each. While this may seem like a rip-off, once you buy four, he’ll give you a Voltorb!

Down from here, you’ll see a Reverse Candy towards the bottom. The second tile from the left on the bottom of the nearby grass contains a hidden TinyMushroom, then a tile three up from the leftmost Murkrow contains a hidden Repel.

Head up to the Chrisola Hotel courtyard. On the left is an Iron. The tile to the right of the first patch of grass right of the entrance contains a hidden Green Shard. Inside the hedge maze to the right, you can get hidden Repel and Red Shard in rocks, hidden Revive in the bottom right corner, as well as an Antidote and TM83 Infestation.

Chrisola Resort

Enter the Chrisola Hotel Resort at the top of the map.

Relationship Point Choices:

After you regain control, talk to a man in the bottom right for a Super Potion. Enter the right hallway. In one room you can get TM126 Whirlpool. In the hallway on the left, head into the open room at the top and interact with the tile down and right from the top left plant for $1500!

Head to the Casino level and talk to the red-haired fellow. They’ll flush their Coin Case down the drain, so we can pick it up later.

You’ve probably noticed a few popups regarding achievements thus far. Complete them and you’ll earn AP, redeemable here. For now, we probably can’t get much but I recommend saving up for the HM Items as they’ll make your life a lot easier. The card items will allow you access to EV Training rooms in Jenner’s lab, so those are nice too. The Exp. All isn’t that necessary anymore in this game since there are lots of grinding options available. Anyways, talk to the girl on the right side to get an Achievement Card.

My thoughts:

When I play, I tend to buy the Golden Hammer first, then begin collecting the EV Cards. I’ll buy the Golden Axe right before I get Cut, then finish with AP cards. Then I’ll buy the rest of the Golden Items as I need them, and the Exp. All when I have enough AP.

On the left side, we can’t do much without the coin case. There is a Lotto Attendant here however:

Head up to the top floor of the building, Rooftop. There is an Audino breeder up here: every time you beat them, you will get 3 Exp. Candy S.

On the left side, south of the Lilligant fountain, a perpendicular angle is formed by black diamond patterns in the tiles. On the first white tile to the right and above these angles is a hidden Oran Berry. Four tiles down and two right from the center of the map (for now, a person is standing there) is a hidden Resist Wing. Finally, two tiles down and two tiles right from the center of the helipad stairs has a hidden Reverse Candy.

In the top left corner of the park, you’ll see a strange crack in the ground. At night, you can interact with this crack to catch Unown!

On the right in a blue flower is a hidden Blue Shard. A purple flower on the left side of the map contains a hidden Honey. Exactly nine tiles to the right, on the other side of a rock face, is another hidden Honey. A flower patch between tall grass down and left from here contains a hidden Carbos. To the right is a hidden Yellow Shard in the middle of the “cross” of dirt on the right side. Finally, two tiles down and three tiles right from the entrance to the tent is a hidden Muscle Wing and one tile to the right of the ledge on top is a hidden Rare Candy.

Enter Luck’s Tent. On the left, you can talk to Marshadow, who will teach us Tutor Moves in exchange for Shards. Note that you can learn any move you’ve purchased via the Cybernav.

Talk to Mr. Luck to begin the Bad Luck quest. Sign his contract to have your sprite changed! Ask him to be changed back, then follow him to the back room. He’ll request that we find for him one Black Prism, which we can find on rainbow-aura wild Pokemon that are about a 1% chance of appearing. Head into the grass and grind one of these out… and return with the Prism to be turned back, completing this quest.

On your way out, Luck will tell you that he wants more Black Prisms.

Abandoned Sewers

To progress the story, head north into Venam’s front yard. Head to the Emporium to get a Pecha Berry? from the attendant, then give it to Venam.

Relationship Point Choices:

Head to the southeast of town and follow Venam into the sewers. You’ll be teaming up with Ren here, who will heal your Pokemon after every battle. Additionally, if you try to catch Pokemon while with Ren, you’ll need to knock one of the two out in order to catch the other, which can be frustrating.

Shield Break 2: - Boss's type becomes Poison/Dark
SOS Trubbish, Lv. 11 Ability: Stench Appears: Less than 1 Shield(s) - Pound - Poison Gas - Thief Hardy Nature EVs: All 16 IVs: All 10

This is our first encounter with a Ruthless Pokemon, which are bosses similar to Totems from Gen. VII. In this game, there are tons of possible effects that they can cause, and you have to defeat multiple shields to knock them out.

This battle is a good introduction to them that shouldn’t be too hard: the boss is just a “regular” Lv. 12 Garbodor. It gains the Dark type and eventually a Trubbish ally, but otherwise this fight boils down to simply defeating a Garbodor three times with the help of your ally Ren.

Game Corner & Gearen Park Conversation

Now that we have the Coin Case, let’s go gambling! While you can get all the rewards right now with enough patience, it’s not necessary to grab everything right now. Rejuvenation doesn’t currently have the high-stakes Roulette table that Reborn does, so being really, really good at Voltorb Flip is your best bet.

Anyways, there’s a grand total of 120 coins along the ground in there, try to find them all. Otherwise, here’s what you can get here:

Shop: Game Corner Coins
50 Coins $1000
500 Coins $10000
Shop: Game Corner Left

TM10 Hidden Power 5000 Coins

Anyways, once you’ve gambled to your heart’s content, there is a bit more optional stuff to do if you want.

In Gearen Park, talk to Melia for an optional scene.

A tough fight. One recommendation is to use the Field to your advantage: moves like Smog and Poison Gas, found on sewer Pokemon like Koffing, will badly poison. Physical Normal moves and Poison type moves get their damage boosted, so may be the best way to deal damage in lieu of super effective moves.

If you win, accept Litleo in your team!

Venam’s Kiss: Poison | Physical | 75 Pwr | 100% Acc | The user kisses with corrosive acid that may leave the target poisoned. It is Super Effective against Steel-types.

This is a somewhat tough battle, though you can level a team of six all the way up to the Lv. 18 cap to gain a bit of an advantage. Read the field notes for the Concert Venue to see how Venam uses this field effect to her advantage - moves like Acid, Fake Out, and Rollout will all be boosted on it. That said, you can generally power through this one with raw stats and with super effective Ground and Psychic type moves.

After the battle, you’ll be rewarded with the PoisonHeart Badge! She’ll also give you TM102 Poison Sweep! This is a new move that can be useful in the early game. Oh, and the level cap has now gone up: to Lv. 25!

We won’t be able to purify Shadow Pokemon quite yet, nor can we use them in Gym Battles until they are purified.

Shield Break 1: - Boss's stat drops are cured - Boss's Def stat raised 1 stage

This is the first of the Rift boss fights in Rejuvenation. Using moves like Growl, Charm, or Noble Roar can really help here, though be wary that it resets stat losses when its first shield breaks. Putting it to sleep is great too, with the added benefit on this field of draining health while asleep every turn. Making it too weak to knock out your Pokemon and railing it with super effective moves, particularly field-boosted Dark moves, is the key to victory. Winning awards +1 Karma, however, the plot will progress even if you lose.

Talk to the grandfather in the train station to finish Lost Girl!. He’ll give you 4 Exp. Candy S.

Either partner will do well here, his Frogadier hits hard with Water Pulse and Misty Terrain boosted Icy Wind, while her Grimer can smack super effective STAB on each with Knock Off and Poison Fang. Low stats including abysmal speed prevents Musharna from doing much damage - stall out the screens from the Munna if you need to and hit Musharna hard with STAB moves and you’ll be just fine.

After the battle, you’ll be gifted TM94 Rock Smash! Now that we have this TM, we can use Rock Smash in the field. Use it to go down and right, and you’ll see a Blitzle. Give it a GourmetTreat and it’ll battle you! On the way out, head into Jenkel’s lab one more time and pick up 6 Cell Batteries! Make sure you save three of them for a quest in chapter 8.

Especially if you’ve been catching all the Pokemon so far, you probably will have enough AP to get the Golden Hammer. This makes it so we don’t need to teach Rock Smash to any Pokemon in order to smash rocks!

There are Pokemon in trees in the next area. If you want, bring a Pokemon with Headbutt to the next area, either Seel or Litleo work great.

This is all we can do in the city for now, so buy a $300 ticket to take the train east to Route 2!

The path above is now clear, so you have a shorter path to traverse through Route 2. Return to the Kecleon Bazaar on the south side of the Route. On the right, you’ll be able to purchase a Magnetic Lure for $2000. This item makes it so you will encounter Pokemon you haven’t caught yet when held, which is fantastic for a 100% playthrough. Leaving and reentering will allow you to buy the Mirror Lure for $2000, which makes it so you’ll encounter the same Pokemon as your lead, helpful for shiny hunting.

The four items of inventory on the left are determined randomly each day - a number is picked from 1-8. You’ll get one set of the following:

  1. Super Potion ($500), Pomeg Berry ($8,500), Protein ($6,800), Black Prism ($25,000),
  2. Max Revive ($9,500), Kelpsy Berry ($8,500), HP Up ($6,800), Ice Stone ($25,000),

  8. Revive ($1,000), Leppa Berry ($1,500), PP Max ($20,800), Shiny Stone ($25,000).

The evolution items are of course nice for early evolutions for team members that need them. If you are lucky enough to find one, buy a single Protein for a quest later (don’t use it or sell it). Head to the top right side of the route.

In this fight, Galvantula will switch to a more powerful form and start summoning Joltik after its first shield is broken. Since SOS Joltik spawns are “continuous”, it will infinitely respawn at the end of any turn when it has been knocked out, so defeating Galvantula as fast as possible afterwards is the way to go. Take advantage of the Egg form’s lower stats in order to set up momentum to make the rest of the fight easier!

You’ll be taken back to East Gearen afterwards.

Relationship Point Choices:

Post-Galvantula Sidequests

Back in the city, a few optional things we can do now: first, talk to Zumi in the library to continue PictoZumi. She’ll give you the Advanced Pokedex if you caught Dedenne. She’ll also send you on the next mission to get Drifloon.

The Advanced Pokedex is pretty cool: it shows basically all the details you’d normally need to crawl Bulbapedia for, including even Egg Moves, evolution details, and more. Simply navigate to a page of a caught Pokemon, scroll all the way over, and navigate with A.

Next, head into the Help Center and talk to Ayuda. Now that we’ve gotten 10 Cells, we’ll get a Cell Imprint! This item lets you set any IV to 31, which is neat. Our next milestone will be 15 Zygarde Cells.

Finally, if you go to the Chrisola Hotel, talk to the woman in the first room in the right hallway to give you Shinx!

Amethyst Cave 2

Make your way all the way back to Route 2 and re-enter Amethyst Cave. You can make your way all the way down to where we fought Galvantula to get a hidden Electric Gem in the top left minecart’s bottom right corner.

Back at the entrance, head up. Smash the rock and pick up the hidden Red Shard in the rail below. The wall behind a rock to the right has a hidden Super Potion, and the second minecart above contains a hidden Mineral Ball in the middle. The rail to the left of this minecart and one tile up contains a Green Shard. To the left, the wall down from the rock to smash is a Zinc, and the machine above here has a Mineral Ball. The wall to the left of the leftmost machine contains a Reverse Candy.

Head left and exit to River’s End. We can’t do much here yet, but grab a hidden Blue Shard in the purple flower in the second column and a Green Shard in the pink flower in the third-from-right column.

Back in the cave, go right.

The Solrock and Lunatone can be frustrating with Rock Slide, but anything speedier can knock them out without much difficulty. Inkay won’t be that much of a threat, so you can probably do well by letting it sit there while you beat up on the other side. Hidden Power is boosted in this field, so if you have it on your special attackers, especially those with type advantages, you’ll be fine.

Relationship Point Choices:

She’ll give you the Room ID Card! When you are back in the cave, the wall to the left of the bottom stairs contains a Super Potion, and the one above and right of the top stairs contains a Reverse Candy. Head into Sheridan Village to the north.

You can sneak around the back of the shop, if you do, talk to the shop owner from behind to get a Super Potion! A tile left and up from the backdoor on the outside is a hidden Tiny Mushroom. Up from here:

You’ll notice a guy here: this is Truck Guy. He will take us for free between Sheridan and Gearen, so take advantage of this instead of paying the train fee whenever possible.

I will also mention that obtaining HM Cut isn’t too far off, so buying the Golden Axe at the AP Shop as soon as you can will help us out in the future.

Sheridan Help Quests

Returning to the inn in Sheridan to complete the Lost Boyfriend quest. You’ll be given $8000 for saving the guy.

Now is a good time to do the Sheridan Village Help Quests. The help center is in the upper right part of the village.

Stolen Cargo

Use the trucker to get to Gearen City, then go to Oceana Pier. Head to the southeast, then follow the guy into the warehouse.

This battle is the first to really show you how well the trainers compensate for their type disadvantages here – almost everything has a Dark or Rock type move. Scraggy is a good dud to leave out on one side of the field, especially if you can paralyze it, as it doesn’t do enough damage to really be threatening at least compared to his other Pokemon. Combusken can be tough once it outspeeds you, but also has Protect so it might be smart to focus your attacks on the other Pokemon. Lucario is annoyingly bulky and can hit pretty hard, so focusing on taking it out may be advisable. A very tough fight, but you have lots of team options to make it more possible.

Sensei runs off instead of paying up a badge. Follow Aelita into the waterfall cave.

This one doesn’t have to be won, though it is very doable. Essentially, Mewtwo will charge an attack for 10 turns - once it’s charged, you lose. Turns where it cannot attack at all such as by Paralysis will delay this timer. Every turn until then will have Mewtwo using its intermediate attack, Shadow Beam, which hits both sides of the field but will always go last in a turn.

You have Keta on your side, so it’s functionally a 12 on 6. Keta’s Pokemon also tend to attack Mewtwo, so simply wailing on Mewtwo and ignoring Cufant is the move - it is pretty unlikely the Charge Attack will finish charging. Past that, a rock type can demolish half of her team, and Keta’s fast fighting Pokemon will help you out. Two of them have fake out, so when you get to Mewtwo, try to take advantage of those turns to deal heavy damage to Mewtwo. Mewtwo also takes damage every time it attacks thanks to Fever Pitch, so take advantage of that and dish out as much damage as you can as soon as her other Pokemon are all wiped out.

Grab the Code Statia Rift Notes and head up.

We haven’t had enough legendary battles with only one gym badge quite yet, so follow Aelita up and grab the Rift Dex Info.

So, you’ll probably be faster than this guy. Light Screen or SpD boosting will help you here. Hack away at its shields with some decent STAB moves.

Return to Madelis’ Castle at the top, and use the warp to reach the back room.

Once you’re free, head to the gate in Sheridan, and enter the spring.

Pick up the Magical Seed up from the entrance. Head up and talk to the pair. Answer “Are you ok?” to the Eldest for +1 Karma. Once you leave the shrine, Keta will ask you to fast travel to Amethyst Grotto. Accept this fast travel request.

Head up to talk to Keta. You’ll receive TM103 Stacking Shot as well as the Diamond Punch badge! Our level cap is now Lv. 30.

By talking to the butterfly at the top of the map, we can now fight Keta’s spirit if we wish, but it’s a bit too high leveled for our party right now. Make your way back to Sheridan!

It’s worth noting that we now have access to the Purify Chamber in the PC! Shadow Pokemon in Rejuvenation have moves they can’t normally get, for example Ponyta has Fell Stinger and Bonsly has Shift Gear. Stick them in the Purify Chamber to get them slowly purified.

One more thing we can do: head into the house in the bottom right of Sheridan. Gothitelle will battle us!

He’ll send you on three trials. Before we do that though, talk to the maid in the entry room and she’ll give you a bonus trial we can do while completing the others.

Take the downstairs left door to the Hedge Garden. Essentially a Dusknoir will warp us back if we ever turn around, so make sure you’re always following the red ivy to continue. We can come back without Dusknoir in a bit to get all the items.

We’ve now fought all three maids, so return to the one in the main room. She unlocks all the doors in the mansion! Head through the door on the left and go up. Inside you’ll find a Full Heal, Reverse Candy, Ability Capsule, and Elixir. Talk to Marianette while you’re in here and ask about a box to fight a Bronzor.

Finally, return to the room we woke up in and go through the upper doors. You can’t go through with Marianette with you, so we’ll have to come back when she’s not with us anymore.

Head back into the courtyard and enter the Absol statue.

Relationship Point Choices:

The first two rooms are not too hard, grab the Max Repel while you’re at it. In the final room, you just must push the colored statues onto the respective tile without getting caught by Tangrowth, then guide Tangrowth to its own tile.

Now that Marianette is no longer following us, we can go through the path in our room again. Enter the three passwords (7896, 3135, 8187) in the machine, then head through the frozen prison to speak with Anju.

To get an item, tell her the truth here. To do so, tell her the world is safe, Sheridan is safe, but Hiyoshi is destroyed. If you do answer truthfully, she will give you Anju’s Pendant!

Exit and return to the mansion. Before we proceed, exit all the way out to Gearen to pick up what Aelita dropped: 3 Super Potions, 4 Exp. Candy M, 2 Exp.

Multipulse: Normal | Special | 65 Pwr | 100% Acc | The uses shoots holy energy at the target, changing type depending on plate held.

Overall, what is said in by the gym guide is good advice. The first thing you must be cautious of is Delcatty, who likes to Baton Pass +2 in both defenses to Chatot or Drampa, who can then boost and go on a rampage. A move like Roar is a good counter for that. Otherwise, a decently rounded team should be able to deal with most of the Pokemon here - four are dual types with varied weaknesses.

Once you win, you’ll be awarded with the Normality Badge! Our new level cap is now 35. Enjoy the following cutscene. Head outside to talk to Aelita and get TM42 Facade!

In this back area, you have to carefully sneak around such as to not be detected by Exploud. If you fail, all of the Loudred will swarm you, but at least you can catch them. You’ll also be attacked by the Lv. 50 Prism Exploud, who cannot be caught.

Just before the grass turns lighter, in the right gap in the tall grass, there is a hidden Sassy Mint. Follow the path around to the right. Heading back into the darker grass, two tiles up from the lighter grass on the left is a hidden Blue Shard. Head up. Behind in the left tile of the tree below the RV is a hidden Rare Candy.

This isn’t going to be that tough of a battle - her team is mostly not fully evolved and doesn’t yet take advantage of the full power STAB moves. Hawlucha can be dangerous if it gets off a couple Hone Claws, so make sure your best Pokemon to take it out isn’t surprised by Flying Gem boosted Bounce. Electric, Psychic, and Flying types will overall succeed here if you’re stuck.

Mirage Woods

Before continuing the story, we’re going to explore a side area. We’re gonna need a Pokemon with Flash. If you don’t have the TM yet, it’s at the Game Corner in East Gearen… or even better, buy the Golden Lantern with AP! Head back to the top of Route 3 and enter the clearing on the left.

The gimmick of this area is that some trees and other items are actually mirages, and can be walked through. A tree towards the top of this initial area is one such mirage, so walk up through it. Grab the hidden Bug Gem in a rock. Go left to reveal another mirage tree, and head down at the fork.

The TM to the left is a mirage… but beyond it is a mirage cave, in which there is a hidden Magical Seed at the bottom and TM48 Round!

Back outside, to the right,you’ll see a lone bush - go right from it then up to reveal a mirage path through the rock face! Hug the left wall as you go up to reveal yet another mirage path through some trees. One tile right and three down from the hiker is a hidden Ether. Talk to said hiker to begin the Broken Bell quest.

An empty spot between trees on the right contains a hidden Exp. Candy M. Go left then up, in a flower patch on the ground is a hidden Poison Gem. Another flower patch down and left hides a Super Repel. Go right, down, and right through more mirage trees. Down and left is another flower patch hidden item: a Rawst Berry.

The bridge to the right is a lie! Instead, cut the tree below and go through the mirage tree. Down and to the left, above the bottom flower patch, is a hidden Steam Ball. You can exit the Woods through a one-way mirage tree to the left.

Cross the real bridge to the right and go up. In the grass tile surrounded by dirt is a hidden X Defend. A flower patch above contains a hidden Reverse Candy. Head up into the Mirage Town area.

In the right house, grab the Steam Ball and talk to the scientist to begin the Cranky Crobat quest. Outside, enter the house on the upper right hill to get the Itemfinder! Finally we have the Itemfinder. This means that I don’t have to describe the location of every hidden item in excruciating detail, moving forward. Speaking of which, around the Mirage Town area, there is a hidden Clever Wing and Genius Wing. Cut the tree at the top, go up the mirage stairs, grab the hidden Reverse Candy, and proceed into the cave at the top.

Grab TM66 Payback as well as hidden Everstone, 2 Exp. Candy L, Repel, Nugget, Red Shard, Yellow Shard, Rock Gem, and Awakening as you proceed through the cave. Use Flash at the bottom for a battle!

This is a very tough boss fight. It uses Acrobatics during its first two shields and gets a Sitrus Berry and shifts to Brave Bird for its last two shields. It outspeeds especially with Tailwind while its Zubat and Woobat lackeys love to lay on the confusion. The key here is high defenses paired with resistances, ideally Steel and field-boosted Rock types, and some way to deal with constant Confusion spam.

After you win, you’ll get Zubat. Talk to the scientist that gave us the quest to close out Cranky Crobat.

Outside, cross under the waterfall to the left. A Carbos is in the first house. Talk to the old woman in the left house - she’ll tell us that the Broken Bell is missing a piece that may be found in Phasial Cave. Outside, go down and left to take some mirage stairs to get a hidden Rare Candy. Exit the Mirage Woods.

First thing we’re going to do is head into Goldenwood Cave. We couldn’t get here with Rock Smash before, but now that we can, go ahead and pick up the Rare Candy, Nugget, and hidden Blue Shard. Your Pokemon should be able to now beat the Leavanny trainer, if you haven’t yet.

Outside the cave, go left. There’s a hidden Ether if you climb some stairs. Down from here is a hidden Nest Ball. A hidden GourmetTreat is to the left, plus:

ZCell 027: Goldenwood Forest

Down from here is a hidden Sitrus Berry. Back up towards the top of the map, go down the right side and grab the hidden Chesto Berry. Down the stairs, grab the hidden Reverse Candy, Great Ball, and PP Up. Below you’ll find a Guard Spec and a hidden Oran Berry. To the left and up from here, a tile above the leftmost red mushrooms before the stairs contains a Persim Berry. Go up the first stairs then left. Two tiles right of the leftmost red flower is a Sitrus Berry. Pick up the Guard Spec. below.

This can be a tough fight thanks to three shields, three typings, and three very different field effects. Status effects like Paralysis remain key here, and a well rounded team of six should be able to deal with its various strategies and take it out.

Take it out, and C will thank us, giving us an Egg (+1 Karma)! This is a mystery egg that will hatch into one of Sizzlipede, Blipbug, or Joltik, randomly determined. Grab the nearby hidden Persim Berry.

It’s been a while since we’ve had to fight this pair, but it’s luckily not too much worse this time. Their main strategy here relies on moves that slow down your Pokemon, by stat-lower and paralysis. Tangela and Lickitung are slightly bulky, so bring out your own bulky party members to bring them down and save your faster Pokemon for Honchkrow and Mismagius and you’ll likely be alright.

After the fight, make sure you heal, then return and go downstairs and through the door. Go up and you’ll fight Geara!

Shield Break 2: - Boss's stat drops are cured - Player's Atk, SpA stats lowered 1 stage Shield Break 1: - Boss's Def, SpD stats lowered 1 stage - Player's Def, SpD stats lowered 1 stage

This is a tough fight. You’re gonna need to break the barriers, but luckily your own Ghost and Dark moves are boosted by the field. Burning or paralyzing it and lowering its special attack may be the key to victory since it is fast and strong. You can also whittle its HP down by burning/poisoning/leech seeding it and anticipating what move it will use and switching to a Normal/Ground/Fairy type.

This is a well put together doubles team. Persian will probably hit first and Marowak will probably hit last and probably knock one of your mons out, so plan your turn 1 attacks accordingly. Morgrem and Clefairy are very effective at stalling, but you can try to time knocking them out so that the screens run out. Haunter and Masquerain hit hard but if you have set up any of your Pokemon you may be able to succeed!

When you’re back in town, you can proceed to the gym immediately, or go tackle a side area real fast.

As you can see, Narcissa’s team is very tanky and will not hesitate to burn and sleep you to death, so make sure you have counters for these things in place. Her Mismagius is fast and with the field hits like a truck, so you must find a way to live a hit. Flame Charge is boosted by the field and given Ghost sub-typing, so sweeping with it can work. Alternatively, if you have Flash or Dazzling Gleam, it’ll remove the field for two turns. Just be aware she can turn it back by using Spectral Scream.

Once you’re done, you’ll get the Phantasm Badge and TM30 Shadow Ball! The Level Cap is now 40!

Interact with the stone den. You’ll get 5 Rift Fragments. These dens have a one-in-seven chance to have a Rare Spawn appear, which will be a light blue color, otherwise it will be purple. These will allow us to catch Shadow Pokemon from within the dens, once we break all of their shields! Not fighting it or defeating it gives 250/500 for common/rare dens respectively, while catching gives 500/1000 respectively.

Crests are unique held items that give the species in question unique strengths to make them better. As you can tell from the four on display, they’re generally given to Pokemon that are… otherwise pretty bad. The Noctowl Crest greatly enhances Noctowl’s defensive capabilities, while the other three Crests allow the Monkeys far greater offensive coverage and a few added resistances.

Get the Bike Voucher for now if you want, but otherwise start saving up Rift Essence. If you accumulate at least 10000, talk to Chespin and Cairo will let you have it! You can check with the Gather Cube the exact amount you have.

Head up. There are Duskull roaming here at night. Try to head into Akuwa Town to the north for a battle with Nim.

Our second encounter with Nim sees her Pokemon with much stronger Pokemon with stronger Psychic attacks, but they’re still no match for a decent team. Good dark types and Pokemon that resist Psychic and/or Rock will do well here. Most of her Pokemon are slow and she doesn’t have any speed control, so if you can outspeed and cripple one or both of her Pokemon per turn you’ll likely find a way through this one.

Lost Souls 1

Before proceeding, there are a few sidequests we can take care of. First of all - head into Akuwa Town with Aelita, and talk to the old man. We’ll explore Akuwa Town itself later. We can now use the Truck Guy up and right of here to fast travel to Gearen, Goldenwood, and Sheridan, though!

Head to the left at the top of Route 4, and sneak through the gap in the fence. Enter Lost Camp and talk to Maman. She’ll quest us with finding Lost Souls. Use the truck guy to zip around and find:

  1. Andrew can be found in Abandoned Sewers underneath Gearen City by crossing the first bridge north, then the first bridge west, then the first bridge down in an alcove at the bottom.
  2. James can be found by entering Spring of Purification from Sheridan Village. He’s on the right.
  3. Marissa can be found on Wispy Path in the upper right corner of where Espurr played with you.
  4. Matthew can be found on Route 3, the second bridge from the bottom.
  5. Cybur can be found on Route 3, next to the mystery egg vendor.
  6. Jessibelle can be found to the right of the Akuwa Town aquarium.

These are the only six we can get before we get a few more HMs. Return to the Lost Camp, where Maman will let us donate to the camp. Donate $5000.

A few orphans will sell you stuff in camp!

Shop: Lost Camp: Andrew
Pomeg Berry $600
Kelpsy Berry $600
Qualot Berry $600
Grepa Berry $600
Hondew Berry $600
Tamato Berry $600
Shop: Lost Camp: Matthew
Water Stone $2100
Fire Stone $2100
Leaf Stone $2100

As an aside, if you want quick AP, we can use Matthew’s stones to fill out a lot of categories! Fill up a team with Pickup mons (pickup points), then catch lots of Pansage/Pansear/Panpour (catching points). Alternatively, breed them (egg hatching points and walking around points). Catch any shinies you find as well (catch shiny points). Then, using money you’ve gotten from selling Pickup items (selling points), buy stones from Matthew (buying points) and use them to evolve each of your monkeys. (evolution points and evolve-by-stone points).

Anyways, Maman will let us donate once more to the camp. Donate $7000, and you’ll be able to catch Eevee!

Artist Quest 2 & Mystery Egg Quest

There are a few more quests we can take care of before proceeding.

First, head over to Gearen. I recommend at this point buying the Golden Surfboard and, if you have the AP, the Golden Claws. We won’t be able to come back here for a little while after getting Surf, so get the surfboard now.

Make your way down to Oceana Pier. Here, you can buy a single Link Heart for $10000. Worth doing if you are using Pokemon that normally evolve by trading in your team.

Level up Slugma to Level 38 to get Magcargo. Add it and Emolga to your party, then head back to Route 2’s trailer to get Charcoal and Magnet, as well as TM96 Nature Power!

There’s one more quest we can do. Go to Sheridan Village. We’re gonna take the female Phantump we caught and breed it at the day care to get an Egg. Of what we have, male Cacnea, Oddish, Bellsprout, Sunkern, Cherubi, Slugma, and Shuppet are all good choices for partners if you have them.

During the daytime, return to the Route 3 market, and talk to the boy in front of the old man. He’ll offer you a trade of his Mystery Egg for your Phantump egg.

The mystery egg is unfortunately determined as you start your save file, so it cannot be re-determined by save resetting. Anyways, the mystery egg will be one of these Pokemon: Azurill, Aron, Absol, Togepi, Sneasel, Dhelmise, Aevian Litwick, Axew, Mienfoo, Pawniard, Trapinch, Hippopotas, Cottonee, Darumaka, Hatenna, Starly, Tyrunt, Larvesta, Mareanie, Stufful, Rookidee. These will all be available at some point later in the game, so don’t fret if you don’t get your favorite right now.

Take the truck back to Akuwa Town.

Akuwa Town

Now we can explore Akuwa Town a bit. Itemfinder at the entrance to the town will get you a Super Repel. There’s an egg in the bottom right corner of town. Once it hatches, you’ll get Ducklett! There’s also wild Pokemon in the grass.

To the left of the gym is a Modest Mint. Enter the house to the north of the truck guy:

Outside on the beach, you can battle and catch Clauncher! You’ll also find TM135 Brine. Hidden on the beach is a Soda Pop.

Head up and up the ladder you’ll see here and grab:

ZCell 032: Akuwa Town

By the truck guy, only at night:

ZCell 033: Akuwa Town

Near the Ducklett egg location, only at night:

ZCell 034: Akuwa Town

At this point we will not be able to come back for a bit, so make sure you’re ready with all the Pokemon you want to catch on this island for now, and every quest you wanted to finish.

Head into the Pokemon Center to grab the defibrillator, then talk to Aelita. Find her again by the ACDMC on the beach, then go into the gym. Make your way to the back room.

You don’t need to win this one for the record…

Be wary of Cinccino, as its 5-hit rock blast is boosted by the cave and tail slap hits hard. Her Houndoom and Salazzle can hit hard but if you can shut them down with a strong Rock or Water type, you’ll be ok.

Outside, Nancy will join up with you! Make your way to the courtyard, then up to Neved’s office.

Neved has a team that’s entirely above your level cap, but you also get to effectively 12 on 6 him with Aelita on your side, so it’s not too tough of a fight. Manectric is insanely fast and likes to one-shot Aelita’s Pokemon, so take it out quickly if you can. Crippling Crabominable with a burn or attack lower might be a good strategy while you clean up the left side. Watch out for Barbaracle too which hits surprisingly hard. Anyways, just keep up the pressure and make sure the fastest mons is out, then you and Aelita should be able to win.

Well….

Boss Yveltal, Lv. 75 @Soul Stone Ability: Dark Aura Shields: 0 - Decimation - Hurricane - Focus Blast Modest Nature EVs: All 48 IVs: All 31

Decimation: Dark | Special | 100 Pwr | 100% Acc | The user absorbs the life energy from the target, leaving them completely lifeless.

Winning this one is not required. This is of course an extremely difficult battle, in no small part because Decimation is a priority move. Not only that, but it applies the Petrification Status: a custom status that drains the afflicted’s HP every turn, similar to Leech Seed, though Rock types are immune. Yet the game was careful to give us a single lifeline in the form of a Focus Sash - will you use it to buy yourself time to Poison or Burn Yveltal? Will you take advantage of the fact it likes to use and miss the inaccurate Focus Blast and Hurricane moves? It cannot heal, so any damage is progress! If you want to win this one it is absolutely possible. Winning grants: (+1 Karma).

Whether you win or lose, watch the next scenes play out.

Gilded Arrow: Normal | Special | 80 Pwr | 100% Acc | The user fires a golden arrow of energy at the target. Critical hits land more easily.

Gilded Arrow uses the user’s second type, unless its Dragon or Fairy, or unless the user has one type, in which cases the first type is used. Confusing! Melia has added three more Pokemon since last time, but her team is nothing too much for us, especially after Madelis and Neved.

After you win, head out to the deck and talk to Melia again.

A tough boss that hits hard. Thankfully, it doesn’t have any way to counter stat drops or status effects, so getting those out there first then wailing on it with super effective moves is the way to go. Once you defeat it, talk to Gerald in his building once more to finish Building Bridges. This is also actually a Kakori Help Quest so we can’t get the rewards for finishing it quite yet.

Unfortunately we can’t do anything else without Surf. This is all we can do in the Deep Jungle for now, so backtrack all the way to Kakori Village.

Daytime on Terajuma

A boater in Kakori will take us back to Floria Island for $3000. This isn’t strictly necessary to do right now… but we have 35 Zygarde Cells, so Ayuda will give us another Cell Imprint as well as the Soothe Bell. Our next milestone is 50 cells.

Take the boat from Oceana Pier back to Kakori for $1500. Back in Kakori Village, tell Melia you want to start in the house near the Noctowl Statue. Enter the Ranger HQ and talk to Melia and Crawli in the Dartrix Izakaya. Assuming you beat Rift Gyarados for Agent C, back in Goldenwood Forest:

Once the meal is over, return to the squad house. Note that once you wake up, it will be daytime, so you can get the daytime encounters all around the island now.

Relationship Point Choices:

Outside, head into the Terajuma Jungle below. Talk to the woman to the right, then to Growlithe. Similarly to Espurr, we can do various things with Growlithe to build up trust, until our bond is strong enough. You can even give it a bone!! Playing with it over and over again is probably the fastest way to get its friendship up. Once its high enough, have it follow you then attempt to leave to get Growlithe! (+1 Karma).

Aquabatics: Water | Status | 0 Pwr | Perfect Acc | The user loosens up with aquabatics, raising its Sp. Atk and Speed.

So, this is the first really hard gym battle, at least from my experience. Ground moves do nothing (even Mud Bomb/High Horsepower for some reason), so for Qwilfish and Lanturn you have to think of something else. Her Qwilfish, Floatzel, and Seaking all have Swift Swim, so they will normally outspeed you and hit hard. Lanturn and Primarina are a bit slower but if you let them get off Aquabatics (special Dragon Dance) then they can steamroll your team. Watch out for Dewgong, too, whose Hydration ability allows it to heal all the way up to full every turn with Rest.

The biggest boon you have is that Electric moves are boosted on this field, meaning an Electric type sweeper may be able to go on a tear. An alternative is to transform the field: 2 uses of Sludge Wave turns it into Murkwater, which takes away some of her advantages and can help a Poison-type oriented team, though she can turn it back with Lanturn and Dewgong’s Whirlpool.

Relationship Point Choices:

For winning, you get the Dewdrop Badge, bringing our level cap up to Lv. 45!

How did Geara level up/evolve his Pokemon in the altered dimension and get a Krookodile? Who knows? Anyways, this is another very difficult fight with Geara. This will be a theme with this guy. His Pokemon generally have weaknesses to Steel and Water, at least?

Once the scenes are over, you’ll be taken to the Ranger HQ. Go up here and watch the transmission! Afterwards, we finally get HM03 Surf! Nice.

We’re first going to go to Jynnobi Pass for reasons that will become clear in a bit. Head up to the Mynori Sea and go surfing. For now, simply make a beeline to the upper right side of the water and go right to proceed to Jynnobi Pass.

Talk to the Noctowl Statue to activate it. Head into the Pokemon Center to get the Good Rod! This is very important… because now I can list areas that have Surfing and Good Rod encounters at the same time! Muahaha! That means:

Up some stairs to the left is a shop where you can exchange your Bike Voucher for a Bicycle! With some new wheels and new encounter capabilities, we have some exploration and quests to take care of!

This is a wacky boss fight. Carnivine has three forms, each with a four times weakness - to Ice, then Fire twice, though it holds berries to nullify them in two forms. It switches around its and also your stat boosts at each phase as well, making it hard to pin down. The Tangela and Tangrowth it spawns are particularly annoying as well - they have moves like Follow Me and Quash that try to force you out of attacking Carnivine.

Immediate Paralysis makes it much easier to deal with, since a Pokemon with moderate speed using one of said super-effective moves might be able to one-shot it. That’s it for this quest, right now!

Anyways, head back outside and cross the bridge. After a scene, enter this door. Get the hidden Nest Ball and Max Repel. Use the lift on the left. Outside, follow the path and grab the hidden PP Up and Green Shard. Look through the binoculars if you wish. Jump down into the left tile of the water specifically. Grab the 5 Exp.

There are also wild Gastrodon roaming about.

Go up the stairs at the entrance. Grab the Absorb Bulb in the overworld.

Near Braixen is a hidden Leppa Berry. There is an Absorb Bulb to the right. Go up the stairs to the right, grab the hidden Lemonade and Hondew Berry, then get three Absorb Bulbs to the right. Down from here is a hidden Pecha Berry. Cross some vegetation to the right to get a hidden X Attack. More vegetation above will take us to a hidden Big Mushroom as well as TM108 Mud Barrage!

Next, we’re going to backtrack to the entrance of the area. Go left past Valarie and Saki. You can walk on the vegetation over the water to reach a hidden Yellow Shard and TinyMushroom. Further up is a SilverPowder as well as another hidden TinyMushroom and Shoal Shell. On the next landmass, go down, grab the Absorb Bulb and hidden Red Shard, and Sitrus Berry. Activate the Noctowl Statue here, then head north into Helojak Factory.

Land to the left to grab the hidden Link Heart, HP Up, Revive, and Green Shard. Land to the right to grab TM44 Rest and a hidden Fresh Water, Green Shard, and Cheri Berry. Go south from here, under a land bridge, then proceed further south to Route 2. Grab TM46 Thief to the left, and to the right:

ZCell 049: Route 2

Back in River’s End, surf to the left. Climb the stairs and get a hidden Ability Capsule, Elixir, Synthetic Seed, Yellow Shard, Elemental Seed, and Tiny Mushroom.

Enter the building above the land bridge. Ask Matthew about his studies above and begin The Inconsistency quest. If you answer all three of Eizen’s questions correctly, you’ll get a special scene.

Anyways, get the Lab Key from them. Take it on over to the Forsaken Laboratory beneath Wispy Tower. In the leftmost room, surf to the black door and use the key.

Talk to this tablet and you’ll be engaged with a puzzle. Here is the solution:

Enter the pathway to the north, and you’ll be taken back to Matthew’s lab. He needs us to retrieve a Magnet, a Poke Ball, and an Up-Grade. Poke Balls can be obtained in stores, we’ve found two Up-Grades so far, and we were given a Magnet on Route 2 by showing a guy our Emolga.

Get the items in your bag, and return. The Pokemon inside will run off, to a hill in the bottom left side of River’s End. You’ll get to battle Type: Null!

Add Null to your party, then evolve it by friendship into Silvally. Head back to River’s End and talk to Matthew at his house. He’ll give us the Poison Memory! We’ll be finding the rest as we continue in the game.

If you answered Eizen’s questions “correctly” earlier, enter the building to the north in River’s End. You’ll get Aevian Munna and Nightmare Fuel!

Akuwa Area Surfing & Sidequests

Back in Goldenleaf, head through the Wispy Ruins to Route 4.

Go up the stairs to the right, then surf up at the top of the mountain: you’ll find Teddie, the eighth kid, here for the Lost Souls quest. There is also another den here!

Talk to the Octillery here to battle them. Land on the island at the top of the Island map. Grab the hidden Heart Scale to the right, then attempt to enter the forest, and Nana will stop you. She’ll invite you to her home, so head in. She’ll give you the Mysterious Emblem. This will also give you access to a PC and bed, which we’ll be using a lot in this section.

Grab something from the PC with Blizzard, and something with either Magnitude, Earthquake, or Bulldoze. The best choice is training a Castform to 35 for Blizzard, and any Pokemon who’ll learn the Bulldoze TM. Also, grab something with Heat Wave, Flame Burst, Lava Plume, or Eruption, such as the Magcargo we evolved earlier.

Then, surf to the cave to the south, and use Blizzard in a battle. After the field has changed, use the ground move, and a path will open. Enter and surf to battle Lapras!

Heal at Nana’s house again, then enter the cave to the right.

Use the fire move in battle, then surf across. Exit at the southeast to get:

Hidden on this path is Resist Wing, HP Up, Rare Candy, and Telluric Seed. At night we can battle stationary Snorunt.

Head back down and surf back across the pond. Go up and right to find a hidden X Special. Follow the final path up, go all the way up to the spring, and grab the Max Repel. Either Anju’s Pendant or the Mysterious Emblem will allow you to enter the spring of preservation at the top.

Enter the spring and talk to the Piplup for a battle.

One more thing we can do in this area for now: evolve one of your Buneary via happiness into Lopunny, then trade it with the person on Evergreen Island for a Shroomish.

That’s all we can do in the Route 11 area right now!

Return to Gearen City and talk to Ayuda - now that we’ve collected 50 Zygarde Cells, we will be given a Cell Imprint as well as the Macho Brace. Our next threshold is 75.

Take the boat back to Terajuma, then take a Noctowl to Deep Terajuma Jungle. Surf right at the bottom of the map to find get Poliwag #4 for the Poliwag Quest.

Barbed Web: Bug | Physical | 70 Pwr | 100% Acc | The user spreads spiked silk which may inflict Poison.

This is a pretty tough fight. Basically everything is stacked against you getting any positive momentum in this fight: it’s Doubles, the field drags your speed down, Sash Galvantula loves to set Sticky Web, and Barbed Web spreads poison easily. You’ve got Golisopod’s in-n-out strategies to contend with plus the speedy/tanky combo of Accelgor and Escavalier, too. Fire moves are even weakened on this field!

There are things we can take advantage of, particularly on the Swamp Field, to win this fight. You can use powered up Bug and Water moves yourself, for example, to deal heavy damage. Flying and Levitating Pokemon have a huge advantage in not being slowed down each turn. While the team has some tanky members, you may be able to simply overpower them with Rock Slide!

You’ll get the Infested Badge, bringing our Level Cap up to Lv. 50, as well as TM81 X-Scissor!

Head into the Mynori Sea and go west onto Route 5. You’ll see Dragonite here once again - it’s lost its letters. One is straight to the left of it, one is straight above it, one is on a northeast island, and one is next to the entrance to Aquamarine Cave. Return them to get a Shiny Stone!

Grab the hidden Shoal Shell and enter the Aquamarine Cave.

Go surfing north and pick up the hidden Exp. Candy M. On the left, behind a mining rock is a Lax Mint and hidden Big Pearl. I will recommend saving the Blast Powder to get these items for later, however. Behind another rock is a hidden Exp. Candy L, though again not worth using the limited Blast Powder on. Head down the ladder at the bottom.

Hidden in this room is Shoal Salt, Shoal Shell, and Blue Shard. Surf on the water and go up through the middle waterfall. Continue into the next room.

You can find a hidden Super Repel, Super Potion, GourmetTreat, and Green Shard. Our objective is pushing the floating stones onto the lit up tiles. Push the five stones into place… as well as Braixen into place, to get the door to open.

Hidden are 2 Water Gems, Red Shard, and Blue Shard.

ZCell 056: Aquamarine Chamber

Back outside, go up the ladder to the left. Grab the hidden Ice Heal and hop down. Grab the hidden Star Piece and exit to the other side of Route 5. Obtain the hidden Yellow Shard, Ether, Love Ball, Lemonade, Pearl, and Repel. Continue left!

Teila Resort

To the left, pick the Occa Berry, as well as:

ZCell 057: Teila Resort

Go left and up, to the large building. Go right to get a hidden Full Heal and a Lax Mint, then enter the large building. After the conversation, talk to the person at the front desk to get a souvenir for the A Souvenir For Mom quest. Go up to the PC and grab Shelmet and Oranguru. Back on the east side of Teila Resort, talk to the old man near the above cell, show him Shelmet, and obtain a Shell Bell!

Go left then down at your first opportunity to grab a Hyper Potion as well as:

ZCell 058: Teila Resort

Inside this house, show a Psychic type (the Oranguru) to a person at the top right to get Wise Glasses. The man below wants to trade Oranguru for Passimian!

Outside, go left. Grab the Elixir and hidden Rawst Berry, Water Gem, and Blue Shard. At the bottom, there are some shops:

Shop: Teila Resort (Top)
Poke Ball $200

Above, to the left, you’ll see a Noctowl Statue to activate for fast travel. Reenter the building at the top of Teila Resort. Show your fighting type (Passimian?) to a guy inside to get a Muscle Band. Head upstairs and enter the room on the right:

ZCell 059: Teila Resort

Downstairs on the left side, you can buy Pokemon massage packages. The cheapest is $1500, the next is $3500, and the last is $6500, which comes with 3 Fresh Waters and 3 Revives! Each sequentially increases your Pokemon’s happiness.

Enter Tesla’s office on the right. She will give us TM101 Rock Climb! Head back outside.

Relationship Point Choices:

Aquamarine Cave 2

Next, we must go find Amber. Re-enter Aquamarine Cave, Rock Climb to the right, then follow the path down to the basement as we did before. Take the second ladder down to the depths. All the way on the right, you can Rock Climb to TM20 Safeguard!

Climb back up the ladder and Rock Climb to the left. Pick up the Water Stone as well as the hidden 2 Pearls and 2 Blue Shards. Use Rock Smash to reach the top of this area. Pick up the hidden Repel, Green Shard, and Exp. Candy M. In the treasure chest is 3 Exp. Candy XL, and Macho Brace. To the right, get the hidden Telluric Seed and the shining Aquamarine Ore! Backtrack to the bottom left and go down the ladder.

Grab the hidden Fresh Water and Ether, then go to the top right. After the conversation, decline the fast travel request, because there is a ladder to a new area in the bottom right side of this map: take it. Get the hidden Green Shard and go right.

Talk to the man in here, then surf to the left side of the room and use Rock Climb. Mine some rocks. Note that there is a hidden Link Heart behind a rock, but we are out of Blast Powder. Back on the water, you can find Poliwag #5 for the Poliwag Quest! Climb the rocks on the right side of the map to get a hidden Hyper Potion as well as a Mild Mint and 4 Exp. Candy L. Exit the Secluded Shore at the top to reach a new section of Route 5. Straight up:

Go down and right. You’ll find a hidden Pearl and Zinc as well as a Sun Stone and TM104 Deluge. To the left you’ll find a hidden Resist Wing in the water.

This is a tough fight, in no small part thanks to the SOS Charizard hitting really hard on this field. Tapu Koko likes to use screens, so being able to break those or score critical hits is key. Especially when against Mega Charizard X, Ground moves like Bulldoze and Earthquake are good ideas for heavy spread damage. You’ll get the Earth Relic after!

Enter Tesla’s Villa next to the Noctowl Statue. Head upstairs, exiting at the bottom left to grab a Protein. Now you can return to Aquamarine Cave to get Tyrogue, if you haven’t yet. Anyways, talk to Tesla downstairs and start dinner.

She’ll offer you food - choose whichever you like. If you want something sweet, you’ll get a Strawberry Cake! If you want something relaxing, you’ll get a Rose Tea! If you want something rejuvenating, you’ll get an Herbal Tea! If you want something sour, you’ll get a Razz Berry Tart!

Rock Climb Exploration

Before we continue the story, we got sidequests and exploration to do!

Make your way next to Jynnobi Pass. Talk to the girl on the southern balcony to give her A Souvenir For Mom. She’ll give us the Fighting Memory as well as:

ZCell 064: Jynnobi Pass

Use Noctowl to get over to Helojak Island. On the east side, you can use Rock Climb to reach a hidden Rare Candy and Mudkip!

Return to Kakori and use the boat to get back to Gearen.

Remember that impossible fight in the Aqua Building? Well, I was able to beat it at this point, so why not give it a shot. Not essential to get done now, but if you can, why not.

Take the truck to Sheridan Village and enter Amethyst Cave. In the second room, Rock Climb down. Talk to April, then activate Amethyst Power Supply Panel 3 to the right. Grab the hidden Rock Gem, Steel Gem, and Water Gem, then follow her left.

Talk to April again, then enter the room in the top left. Surf left, activate the panel if you haven’t, and get TM01 Work Up below.

Return to the entrance of the cave from Route 2. Take the stairs to the right, then head across the first bridge on top. Rock climb here, pick up the hidden Zinc, and head in.

Grab hidden Rock Gem, Super Repel, and Ether.

Talk to the ex-Xen Grunt in the open area. Head down the ladder here and activate Amethyst Power Supply Panel 6 on the right.

Head down and rock climb down from here. We’re gonna need to smash the crystals in this new area somehow: the wild Geodude have Magnitude and can do it, alternatively, if you have the Bulldoze TM, then you can use that. Once you succeed, head down to the bottom of this area and interact with this crystal for a chance to catch Aevian Lapras!

With all six panels activated, head back to the Xen grunt and activate the machine. The Xen guy will head up, so grab the hidden PP Up and climb the ladder. Grab the Code Feris Rift Notes and prepare yourself.

Talk to the Grunt and save in front of the statue. Talk to the grunt again, and you’ll have to fight:

Boss Chandelure (M), Lv. 60 Rift Form @Fire Gem Ability: Trace Typing: Ghost/Fire Shields: 3 - Shadow Ball - Air Slash - Fire Blast - Will-O-Wisp Base Stats: 99 HP, 29 Atk, 69 Def, 179 SpA, 119 SpD, 99 Spe Timid Nature EVs: 252 SpA, 4 SpD, 252 Spe IVs: All 31
Shield Break 3: - Boss's ability becomes Trace - Boss's type becomes Ghost/Water - Boss's moveset becomes Shadow Ball, Air Slash, Surf, Whirlpool - Boss's stat changes are reset - Boss's held item becomes Water Gem - Boss's SpA stat raised 1 stage Shield Break 2: - Boss's ability becomes Trace - Boss's type becomes Ghost/Grass - Boss's moveset becomes Shadow Ball, Air Slash, Energy Ball, Leech Seed - Boss's stat changes are reset - Boss's held item becomes Grass Gem - Boss's Def, SpD stats raised 1 stage Shield Break 1: - Boss's ability becomes Trace - Boss's type becomes Ghost/Electric - Boss's moveset becomes Shadow Ball, Air Slash, Thunderbolt, Thunder Wave - Boss's stat changes are reset - Boss's held item becomes Electric Gem - Boss's Spe stat raised 1 stage

With three shields, it takes a lot to defeat Rift Chandelure. It has an insane Special Attack stat, with Shadow Ball and Air Slash consistently and a different special STAB at each phase. Since it recovers stat changes at each stage, status conditions are especially key here. With only 99 HP and 69 Def its physical bulk is nothing to write home about - with a new held gem at each phase, I recommend going the fully powered Knock Off. You also have the power of ‘cheese’ in your pocket thanks to the Trace ability - at each phase you can brick it with a harmful ability like Truant!

Exit at the top and talk to Manny. He’ll give you a Shiny Stone. Hidden around here is a Rare Candy, Elixir, Iron, and Resist Wing.

At night, you’ll find:

ZCell 066: Cliffside Grave

Interact with the grave at the top and insert the Cursed Candle we got a while ago to obtain Litwick!

With that, return to the room where April is, two maps away from Sheridan. Talk to April. She’ll give us the Phase Dial! Head in and go up.

Solar Flare: Fire | Physical | 100 Pwr | 95% Acc | The user tackles the opponent, engulfed in incredible flames. It may raise the user’s Attack.

Hoarfrost Moon: Ice | Special | 90 Pwr | 90% Acc | The user releases an icy, crescent burst at the opponents. It may raise the user’s Special Attack.

This fight has you oscillating between the forms of Solrock and Lunatone. Interestingly, even as the moveset entirely changes, once the boss commits to using a certain move during a turn, they will use it. This means that breaking a shield while Solrock is dominant and before it attacks will see it use a physical attack while Lunatone is dominant and vice versa - which can be the opening you need to get past its large stats.

We can now use the Phase Dial on our own Solrock and Lunatone to obtain the fusion! Nice.

Back in Sheridan, go west onto Route 3 and enter the Mirage Woods. Make your way to the Mirage Cave where we once fought Crobat. Use Rock Climb to get the Data Drive, 3 Exp. Candy L, and:

ZCell 069: Tower Cellar

Head back up from the previous room. In this central hub, go right next. Get the hidden Ice Gem and pick up the Ice Heal. That’s all for the cellar area right now, so head back up the tower to where we left off.

Break the mirror right above the ladder. In the next room, you’ll need to push the statue onto the red tile. This moves the ladder in the previous room, so go up it. In this next room, you’ll need to move the statue around the table - it will move the crack in the wall. All the way right, you can go through.

Take note of the position of the ladder and the red dot, then move the statue across the mirror as many tiles as needed to get the ladder onto the dot. Climb up.

In this next room, you can smash a door to the left for a quick scene. Head straight down, into a door opposite the previous. Push the statue: 3D 9L 2U. Go up the ladder.

Cold Truth: Ice | Special | 95 Pwr | 100% Acc | A strong disturbing chill hits adjacent opponents, inflicting Torment upon them.

This fight is very difficult. The Frozen Dimensional Field makes the Ice and Dark attacks that she uses a lot stronger, on top of permanent hail plus a signature move that hits both of your Pokemon hard and even afflicts Torment. There is some bulk, some speed, lots of coverage, and lots of synergy, but a well constructed team can take her down.

For starters, the boost to Dark moves like Knock Off makes them one of the most viable options against her. Changing the weather is very helpful, though we don’t have any of the TMs yet. Wide Guard, Brick Break, and Protect are all moves that can be very helpful in this battle, as well. I also recommend using the Elemental Seed to your own advantage - Cold Truth might afflict Torment anyways, so take advantage of the double speed when you need it in this fight.

Run away from Angie! That’s it for Chapter 7!

At night, you can catch the “legendary” Phione here by giving it a GourmetTreat.

Grab the hidden Dive Ball. To the right is a Shed Shell. Go onto the water to find a hidden Magical Seed and Ice Heal. A fisherman here will trade 10 Occa Berries for a Deepseatooth or Deepseascale. You can grow them in the flower patches if you want these now, or wait till the next chapter to buy them.

Grab the hidden Max Repel and Icicle Plate above. TM07 Hail is to the left.

Reenter the Church of Theolia. In the room at the top:

ZCell 075: Church of Theolia

Should you want to return to the Tower of Theolia area, you can do so in the room on the left side of the church.

7 Badge Sidequests

That’s all for Kristiline Town and Isle of Angels exploration for now, but we can take care of a few quests and things right now.

Take Noctowl to Kakori Village. Mr. Luck’s Tent now has a new move tutor:

Marnie Move Tutor
Bug Bite 3 Green Shards
Bounce 3 Blue Shards
Drill Run 3 Yellow Shards
Electroweb 3 Red Shards
Gastro Acid 3 Yellow Shards
Focus Energy 3 Red Shards
Skill Swap 3 Blue Shards
Signal Beam 3 Green Shards
Coaching 3 Red Shards

Take the truck to Goldenleaf. In the house nearest the eastern gate, you’ll find the artist for the Museum Quest. Next, head back to the outside area of Wispy Tower and enter the Wispy Ruins to the east. Climb down the ivy in the rightmost room, then make your way to the southeast corner of Wispy Chasm. Step on the tile, then head in to and get Griselda’s Treasure 7: a Data Drive and Odd Keystone.

Head back out to Goldenleaf Town. Enter Narcissa’s Gym and talk to the guy at the front. Make your way all the way back through Backstage Theatre and enter the mirror.

Enter this door at the top, then interact with the painting up here. Follow Mew out of the room, through the mirror to get the Odd Key, and to the Lost Castle on the Forgotten Path.

Here, we’re going to want to read all the books and keep track of all the numbers. Head up the stairs and talk to Dusclops, and enter the following: 0044, 6677, 3645, 9043, 7171. Enter the next room and get ready for a series of battles. It’s a gauntlet of 3: just be prepared for the Shedinja in the last team.

Burst the bubble at the top! This marks the official beginning of the Narcissa’s Hauntings quest, though this is all we can do in it for now.

Make your way all the way back to Kristiline Town. Reenter the museum and choose which sculpture you prefer. Completing the Museum Quest, you’ll get $10,000. There is a Cherish Ball in the trash to the right.

The Kristiline Help Center is closed, but we can learn about its requests via the Kakori Village Help Center. There’s a quiz event, something involving a princess, and a quest from the Ranger HQ. Only the first one is completable right now.

Kristiline’s Quiz Show!

Enter the house in Kristiline to the east of the Isle of Angels entrance.

Head outside and enter the house in the top right of town. Talk to the guy here to start a quiz, similar to the one in the Tower of Theolia. You have to be quick to answer correctly.

Click for the solutions to the quiz

You’ll get an Exp. Candy XL, Lucky Egg for winning. After…that… head back to the Kakori Help Center to get $10000. (+1 Karma)

Corrupted Cave

Now we will proceed with the story. Talk to Aelita in Kristiline Town. You’ll need to choose a third character to join you in the upcoming journey. You can choose Reina, Kreiss, or Adam. Talk to Aelita to go to Sheridan. Inside the Sensei’s house, talk to Texen, then head upstairs for a 3v3 battle.

Luckily Aelita’s team is pretty useful here, thanks to some type advantages. Once you’re back in Carotos Mountain, smash a rock to open a shortcut to the rest of the cave. Enter the Corrupted Cave. Aelita (team above) will join us a partner.

Climb down the ladder. Go up and get a hidden Moon Stone.

The path we will take through this dungeon diverges a bit depending on the third character we brought with. If it’s Reina or Kreiss, you’ll go to the left, else if it is Adam, you’ll go to the right.

If you go left, you’ll need to push blocks onto the correct yellow tiles. The correct placements can be noted in the bottom left room. Enter the next room. We’ll need to move the statues on the left side onto the yellow dots corresponding to the positions on the right side. Head into the next room when you succeed.

If you go right, you’ll have to complete two battles:

Relationship Point Choices:

Go down the ladder on the left from the bonfire room for a huge, optional puzzle. Make note of all the statue positions down the ladder, then get to work putting them all into the right places. This is arduous and pushing one block into a corner means you have to reset the whole thing, so save often. Once you succeed, go into the door at the top to get Zorua (Hisuian) and the Zoroark Crest!

Regardless of which path you took, backtrack down the path to the left past the puzzles. Talk to the blue pillar and show it a Dragon-type Pokemon. This opens a door to the right, where you can get TM86 Grass Knot.

Return to the entrance room and talk to Eldest. Head in this door and follow the path.

VS Boss: Behemoth Groudon

Boss Groudon, Lv. 60 @Sitrus Berry Ability: Drought Shields: 1 Immunities to field damage: Volcanic Field - Earthquake - Rock Slide - Toxic - Heat Crash Adamant Nature EVs: 100 HP, 252 Atk, 52 Def, 100 Spe IVs: All 31
Shield Break 1: - Weather becomes Sunny Day - Field becomes Volcanic Field - Boss's moveset becomes Earthquake, Stone Edge, Swords Dance, Heat Wave - Boss's stat drops are cured

Groudon has the power on both fields to rack up a lot of one-shots, so you have to find a way to get around that. Grass type moves are the best offensive option against it, though Fire moves are aplenty. Paralysis and Burn are very helpful, too.

You’ll get the Earth Heart, though you’ll have to make a decision to save the Eldest or refuse to give in. You’ll get the Tower Cellar Key!

Use the warp and return to Aelita. Chase Tommen out of the Garufan area.

Relationship Point Choices:

Relationship Point Choices:

Agree to return to the Tower Cellar with your partner. Inside, you’ll get the Ocean Relic!

Take a Noctowl over to Jynnobi Pass and enter the temple on the right side.

Back outside, use the stabilizer on the whirlpool to fight Qwilfish (Hisuian)! Pick up a Soft Sand and Black Prism beyond. Surf left and land on Clobbo Peak Island. Pick up the Exp. Candy L and catch Chansey! Up from here, on the island with the Xen member, you’ll find Poliwag #6 for the Poliwag Quest!

The final Xen ship on the left side of the map is filled with trainers with Pokemon in the Lv. 70+ range. You can fight them if you wish, but I will have us return later when it is more “safe” to do so.

With all that taken care of, land on the Valor Shore at the top and activate the Noctowl Statue. Talk to Neved above, then smash a rock to the right and get TM124 Scary Face. Enter the mountain…

Valor Mountain

Get the Emotion Powder as you walk in. You’ll be given the quest Save Amber, which is technically optional.

Thankfully, Venam absolutely pulls her weight on this fight with powerful Grass and Electric type moves plus some resistances to Kyogre’s strategies. The stat drops and Whirlpools make trying to sweep with a single Pokemon difficult, so you will likely need a full bench ready to come in. Paralysis and the Storm Drain ability in particular make this battle much easier than it would be otherwise.

After winning, Madelis will give you the V.G.C.R. Key.

Head down from here.

Relationship Point Choices:

Head up and into the next room. Grab TM134 Rock Blast.

Relationship Point Choices:

Exploration Goodies

Activate the fire crystal here, then return to the main dungeon through the cliffside. On the right side, you’ll find:

ZCell 081: Valor Mountain (Warm)

Head down and go to the left. Drift across then jump in the hole twice. Talk to Growlithe (Hisuian) and give it a GourmetTreat for a battle. Plus:

ZCell 082: Valor Mountain (Warm)

Next, head up at the top of this room to reenter the blockade. Upstairs the rightmost door will be open now, head outside and feed Tepig five GourmetTreats for a chance to battle it.

Head back to the cliffside (there’s now a warp between Valor Cliffside and Valor Shore, it might be easiest to take the warp) and enter the room beyond. Interact with the neutral crystal, then head back into the dungeon via the cliffside once more. On the left, surf and fall down the hole. Pick up a hidden Rare Candy, then fall down the other hole and grab the Leaf Stone at the bottom!

Jump down the ledge, and head up the ladder here. On the right:

ZCell 083: Valor Mountain (Neutral)

Head back down the ladder, activate the ice crystal, then use the warp to reach Valor Cliffside once more. Head all the way back up to the top and enter the summit.

Valor Summit

Grab the Dragon Scale on the left of the summit.

Head up to the top when you’re ready. The first battle:

Another straightforward boss where status conditions are key. The omniboost is a bit scary, though you can cancel it out with a move like Haze.

Heal, and follow the action to the top. Time for a double battle with Melia.

Silvally, Lv. 55 @Ground Memory Ability: RKS System - Multi-Attack - Rock Slide - Heat Wave - Thunder Naughty Nature EVs: 152 Atk, 100 SpA, 252 Spe IVs: All 31

This battle is insane, but at least a fitting final Xen boss to Act 1 of Pokemon Rejuvenation! Zetta’s Typhlosion is intense, as it’s fast and its Eruption is strong. Grimmsnarl also gets basically at least 1 free screen unless you have Brick Break to remove it, so that is also tough to deal with. Their aces, Gengar and Silvally respectively, are also insanely fast and can kill most of your Pokemon. Melia’s team used to be worse, TRUST ME IT WAS SO MUCH WORSE, but now she’s a mostly competent doubles ally. Generally, this fight is won by targeting one of your two opponents and making sure Melia covers you.

The Volcanic Field can be used to your advantage: consider using your own Fire moves to take advantage of it. You can also transition to Sky Field with Bounce or to Volcanic Field with Dig, both of which you may be able to get a better footing in.

In the beach area, follow the path.

Afterwards, return to the top of the mountain, collecting the souls as you go. You’ll be thrust into a battle with Geara and Zetta again!

SOS Phione (F), Lv. 50 Ability: Hydration Appears: Exactly 0 Shield(s) (Continuous) - Surf - Energy Ball - Helping Hand - Dazzling Gleam Modest Nature EVs: All 75 IVs: All 31

Take Heart will increase its Special Attack and Special Defense, making it hit very hard on both fields. The Phione are able come in and cover weaknesses and add to the amount of work you need to do at the end of this fight. It’s a tough one made, tougher by the fact you aren’t healed after the previous fight.

I recommend lowering its other stats, namely Speed and potentially Defense. It has no way to recover or raise these, so if you’re able to get off a Scary Face and a Screech you can probably just one-shot the rest of its health bars.

With that out of the way, return to the Isle of Angels bridge. Return to her house and go up. The quest will be done - head back inside to get the Phione Crest from the father.

Infinite Potential

With the previous two quests complete, head into the Kristiline Help Center. Talk to Jenkel to begin Infinite Potential.

Head to the Kakori Gym area to talk to Holly. Go next to the Terajuma Excavation Site and talk to the folks inside the building. Our next destination is Terajuma Beach. Talk to the suspicious individual. You’ll need to follow him into the Jungle and to the right.

Reenter the Tyluric Temple and progress as we did before. You’ll see Rowlet on the right; talk to him and he will proceed further. Surf down once you reach an outside area and follow the path. Drift across the magma: go right first, then up the tornado. You’ll eventually reach:

ZCell 085: Tyluric Temple

You can also use a GourmetTreat to catch Magby and obtain *5 Exp. Candy L. Go back in the cave and drift all the way left.

Fever Pitch: Fire | Special | 1 Pwr | 100% Acc | The user emits a rocking hot sound, getting stronger with more hype.

Relationship Point Choices:

It’s time for the second gym battle on the Concert Venue, though this time under different circumstances. Most notably, Fever Pitch, Magnitude, and Reversal all hit for full damage on the high levels of the Concert Venue, so you’re going to take lots of damage. Depending on how much you care about relationship points, you can get away with intentionally nerfing the Concert Venue and using Stomping Tantrum for huge damage. There are lots of ways to do so: intentionally missing low-accuracy moves works, raising Evasion works, moves like Play Nice and Tickle will work as well. If you’re going to stick it out on the maximum hype field - use the field’s tools to your own advantage: max power Magnitude is a fantastic choice if you can get around the Air Balloons.

Win to get the Lyric Badge, which brings the level cap up to Lv. 60, and TM50 Overheat! Head outside and watch the cutscene.

Boss Gardevoir, Lv. 63 Dark Gardevoir @Lum Berry Ability: Magician Typing: Dark/Fairy Shields: 1 - Dark Pulse - Moonblast - Calm Mind - Psyshock Base Stats: 88 HP, 65 Atk, 85 Def, 135 SpA, 135 SpD, 100 Spe Timid Nature EVs: 252 SpA, 252 Spe IVs: All 31
Shield Break 1: - Boss's stat drops are cured - Effects added to boss's side: Reflect, Safeguard

This boss is very fast and hits hard. Speed control is crucial here - the funniest way to win is taking advantage of Magician by forcing it to eat Lum Berry and then letting it steal an item like the Iron Ball. After this, simply hit hard with massive physical damage, ideally Steel or Poison type moves.

Relationship Point Choices:

Grab the shiny Apartment Key. This next part is optional, but worth doing due to ramifications on the story later. Head back to Kugearen and use the key on the door in the top left of the area. Head down and read the book on the table. After that, head to the right and read this book to get the Weird Diary.

Continuing the story, talk to Venam by Katsu’s house, then return to the mansion.

Shield Break 3: - Boss's type becomes Poison/Grass - Boss's moveset becomes Drain Punch, Giga Drain, Darkest Lariat, Belch - Boss's stat drops are cured - Boss's held item becomes Sitrus Berry - Boss's Atk, SpA stats raised 1 stage Shield Break 2: - Boss's type becomes Poison/Steel - Boss's moveset becomes Drain Punch, Giga Drain, Gyro Ball, Belch - Boss's stat drops are cured - Boss's held item becomes Metal Coat - Boss's Def, SpD stats raised 1 stage Shield Break 1: - Boss's type becomes Poison/Rock - Boss's moveset becomes Rock Blast, Giga Drain, Gyro Ball, Belch - Boss's stat drops are cured - Boss's held item becomes Rocky Helmet - Boss's Atk, SpA stats raised 2 stages - Boss's Def, SpD stats lowered 1 stage

The most annoying thing about this boss is its recovery. Garbodor heals a ton of HP every turn on the field, and has the defenses to make dealing damage very difficult. With cured stat drops, changing typings, and refreshed items, there is a lot to deal with!

Melia as a partner is fairly helpful. Her Snorlax is a good lead that takes a while to die and is immune to the field’s Poison effect, so that helps. She’s able to do decent damage with Ground type moves, which the latter two phases of the boss are 4x weak to! Generally speaking you want to be doing what you can to prolong Melia’s effectiveness while supressing Garbodor’s offensive power if you can. It is so slow that it will basically always move last, so you can take advantage of this to use moves like Knock Off and Heal Block.

Once we regain control, head back down into the sewers, where we can now get:

If you succeed, you’ll get the corresponding crest to your starter in the challenge: the Meganium Crest, Typhlosion Crest, or Feraligatr Crest! You’ll also get 25 AP Points and a Somniam Mall Stamp! We will eventually find out what this stamp does.

It is worth noting that the other two crests now become available for purchase at the Kecleon Bazaar for $50,000 each.

Old Amber $1000
Cover Fossil $1000

Head outside and enter the Junction Bridge from the left.

This means we can now easily complete the trades on the Isle of Angels for Deepseatooth and Deepseascale.

Next, return to the Magnolia Library and show Zumi your Pokedex with Toxel inside. She’ll give us 15 Exp. Candy M, as well as tell you a hint about one way to evolve it. Our next objective for PictoZumi is a special Aevian Forme somewhere in the badlands. We’ll get that taken care of later on.

West Gearen City Help Quests

Generator Problems

This quest is only available if you have freed Dufaux: it is a continuation of the Narcissa’s Hauntings quest.

Start at the power plant on the north side and talk to Gabriel. Head inside to see what’s happened. Carefully sneak to the left and into the generator room. Save and use F12 if you get spotted to reduce the backtracking.

Make your way to the generator room and watch all the events unfold. Narcissa will leave for Goldenleaf Town. Take the truck there, then talk to young Narcissa. Grab something from the PC with either Dark Pulse or Night Daze: the Lv. 50 Spiritomb we caught earlier comes with the former. Anyways, once Narcissa leaves, head over to Phasial Cave on Route 3. Towards the left side of the area, you can Rock Climb to reach a ladder we haven’t gone down yet. Talk to young Narcissa down here, then use your Dark-type move to transform the field. Talk to her at the top once more, then grab the Ability Capsule to the right.

That’s all we can do for this quest, for now, so return to West Gearen. Claim your reward at the Help Center: $3500. We can now access the generator room in the Power Plant whenever we want: it houses TM64 Explosion and the Electric Memory. Note that we can evolve electrical-location-based Pokemon here: Nosepass and Magneton.

House Sitting

Start at Saki’s house west of the power plant. Talk to Erina, go in, and read the note on the table. Do three of the actions, then head upstairs.

As a reward for finishing all the quests, you’ll get a Turtwig egg (+1 Karma)!

Spector Battle Quest

Time for another quest. This one will require that we’ve done Narcissa’s quest up to this point. Take the truck to Goldenleaf.

Before that though, go to the Wispy Ruins via Wispy Tower area entrance. To the right, step on the tile, then head in to and get Griselda’s Treasure 8: an Elemental Seed!

Back in Goldenleaf, do the following:

  1. Talk to Spector in front of the Giratina statue in town
  2. Head into Wispy Tower. Talk to Spector in here.
  3. Head into the Lost Castle to talk to Spector in the upper room.
  4. Head into Narcissa’s gym. Head through the backstage theatre as normal and talk to Spector when you see him.
  5. Finally, meet him in the gym auditorium for a battle!

There are two possible battles for Spector: the first happens during the day:

VS: Ghost Kid Spector

Banette (M), Lv. 63 @Banettite Ability: Insomnia - Shadow Sneak - Destiny Bond - Protect - Shadow Claw Adamant Nature EVs: 252 Atk, 4 SpA, 252 SpD IVs: All 31

This is a very tricky battle! He doesn’t focus on raw strength; his Mega Banette is really his only strong Pokemon. Instead, he will try to wear you down. The initial duo of Murkrow and Gothitelle forces you to stay in and stick around for a Perish Song unless you can knock out Gothitelle in the first three turns of the battle. Luckily Gothitelle will usually go for Fake Out on turn one, so one of your Pokemon will likely get in at least one hit. Once you deal with the first pair, Ninetales is particularly annoying because of its speed and increased accuracy on Hypnosis, paired with Mega Banette to knock you out, this is deadly. All in all, a tricky fight, but you can get around the specific sleep + perish song-oriented strategies with Safeguard, Taunt, and other similar moves if you must.

The second possible battle happens at night:

VS: Ghost Kid Spector

Banette (M), Lv. 63 @Banettite Ability: Insomnia - Shadow Sneak - Disable - Gunk Shot - Phantom Force Adamant Nature EVs: 252 Atk, 4 SpA, 252 SpD IVs: All 31

This second battle is an offensively focused doubles team on the Haunted Field. He has tons of powerful spread moves in Eruption, Heat Wave, Rock Slide, etc. and also many priority moves. He has lots of speed tiers on his team, though a Shadow Sneak of your own can deal with Typhlosion. Some speed control such as Tailwind plus some strong spread moves should do the trick here.

Win to get the Ghost Memory. If you completed the nighttime fight, you’ll also get 2 Ghost Gems and 3 Kasib Berries.

Lost Souls 2

Take the truck to Akuwa Town. At the ACDMC you can now revive Aerodactyl, Archen, and Tirtouga!

The good news is the field doesn’t really do anything for her team in this battle, so if you can exploit Factory Field for your own benefit, go ahead. The bad news is her team is particularly good at what it does overall. You’ll notice that Trick Room is the central strategy she employs here: you can take advantage of that and bring in your own heavy hitting slow team, or prevent it from being used. One strategy is to open with Pokemon immune to the Fake Out from Incineroar in some way, another is to have a Multi-hit move strong enough to ORKO Hatterene, and so on. If you can succeed and make sure Bronzong similarly goes down before it can use Trick Room, you will have an easy time here.

Time for a gym fight with Erick. The field might seem like an interesting choice, but it does grant him some advantages: Ground moves are nullified, Electric moves are boosted, and he has two Steel types to deal with the Poison effects. This makes it hard to pin down his weaknesses, so you’ll want to consider dealing heavy damage in other ways. Priority moves are helpful against his very fast Pokemon, while Doubles moves like Dazzling Gleam and Rock Slide can spread damage quickly.

Win to get the Pulse Badge, increasing our level cap to Lv. 65, and TM72 Volt Switch. Make your way outside.

You’ll need to defeat Flora with Giratina in a different style of combat. Heal when you need to, use the special when you can, and you should win.

Flora will be arrested at the top of the lift. Accept the fast travel with Florin, though we won’t be taking on the gym battle quite yet.

Darchlight Village & Route 8

There are a few more maps we can explore. Head into the map at the top where we were pushed into the caves to grab some hidden items: PP Up and Yellow Shard.

Go down two maps, then continue down to reach Azure Port. Talk to the grunts here to start the Oshawott quest.

Before we continue, we can make a quick trip to Darchlight Caves. By taking Braviary to Darchlight Woods, to the right and up you can access a cave containing a teleporter to the Caves. Head up into the Decompression area, then go up through the door. Go right in this next room to get TM97 Dark Pulse!

Backtrack to the caves below. Make sure the cave is dark, then proceed to the left. You can find to catch Bronzor (Aevian)! Continue backtracking to reach Wobbuffet and Wynaut as well as TM23 Smack Down. Plus, you can find:

ZCell 100: Darchlight Cave

You can take the lift at the top of the Decompression Lab to escape to Honec Woods.

Uproot: Grass | Special | 90 Pwr | 100% Acc | The user attacks the target like uprooting a plant, lowering the target’s Sp. Def harshly.

Flora opts for a more defensive singles strategy, taking advantage of the field’s many boosts to Grass types. Even though Grass has many weaknesses, her team has answers to them all, so you’ll need to be able to change it up! Uproot will make setting up a defensive wall difficult, so finding a way to sweep with 1-3 of the types super effective against Grass or perhaps field-boosted Dark/Fairy will likely be key.

Win to get the Rose Badge, which increases our Level Cap to Lv. 70, and TM53 Energy Ball!

The battle with Florin is a very tough one. Like Rhodea says, he has a team full of glass cannons. The field helps him get stronger while his only “intact” weaknesses are Flying and Bug, though he has counters for those. Changing the weather right away tends to be helpful, and using Dark and Fairy moves may be the key to heavy damage. Ice moves with Hail can be particularly potent.

Aftermath

Regardless of who you fought: Win to get the Rose Badge, which increases our Level Cap to Lv. 70, and TM53 Energy Ball!

Head to the Darchlight Village and enter the southwestern house. Head back to the train to get HM04 Strength!

Darchlight Manor

Alright, I know the timing of this seems super weird, but we just got Strength and the badge to use it right before the chapter ends, and we won’t be able to return here right away. So, I’ll take us on this detour now, though feel free to do it at a later time.

Enter the Darchlight Manor area to the north of the Darchlight Village.

Anyways, grab the Green Shard on the table. In the grass at the top is a hidden Synthetic Seed and Friend Ball.

Return to the Dream District South and enter the Dream Complex. Before we head upstairs, we will finish the SPU Parcel Delivery sidequest. Talk to the attendant on the left to deliver the first package. Return to the Central Square to get the next destination: Mika’s Cafe. Head over to Dream District North, enter the cafe, and give the package to Patty. You’ll get a Link Heart! Return to the driver to get the next package, then give it to the first cop in the Judicial District Police Station. Return to the driver, who will use a spray that contains a new Pokemon in an area we’ll visit later. (+1 Karma)

Night 1 Dream

Return to the Dream Complex once more. Go up to the penthouse and sleep. You will wake up in “New Game”, and you will be asked a man’s name.

Boss Alakazam (M), Lv. 65 Ability: Synchronize/Inner Focus Shields: 2 - Calm Mind - Reflect - Light Screen - Night Shade Timid Nature EVs: All 85 IVs: All 31
Shield Break 2: - Form changes to Mega Form - Boss's moveset becomes Psychic, Shadow Ball, Focus Blast, Counter - Boss's stat drops are cured - Boss's held item becomes TwistedSpoon - Boss's SpD, Spe stats raised 2 stages Shield Break 1: - Boss's stat drops are cured - Effect added to boss's side: Reflect

Alakazam’s first form will boost stats, set up screens, and use Night Shade, while its later forms will outspeed and demolish basically anything up against it. It even has Counter, meaning taking out its second health bar with a physical attack may be punished during the third.

You can still get around these difficulties in a few simple ways: first is to use a Normal type that can set up against the first phase completely for free, as long as it has a contingency for Counter and taking one hit. The other, simpler solution is simply using Trick Room during the first phase and then whacking it really hard with some physical moves.

Investigating the Night Market

Head over to the Night Market and talk to Risa Raider. You’ll get a letter to stuff in a mailbox. The mailbox in question is hidden around the left corner of the Dream Complex in Dream District South. Return to Risa.

Time for a little lesson in Trickery. Neon’s team of three is bulky while Magenta’s team of three is more offensively focused, meaning you either want to wear them down with spread moves or target Magenta first. Telepathy doubles speed on Trick Room, frankly one of the most busted Field Effects in the entire game. This means that Oranguru and Beheeyem will probably move first on Turn 1, so be prepared for that. As a proud Trick Room enthusiast, I will recommend my favorite TM here as well: if you can live one turn to set up Trick Room, a team of hard-hitting mid-speed Pokemon can sweep Magenta. Then all you have to do is time knocking out the relatively weak Oranguru for when Trick Room will end, allowing the same Pokemon to bowl over the extremely slow pair of Musharna and Mega Hatterene in the back.

Open the box to get the Trickery Badge, which raises our level cap to Lv. 75!

Once you’ve found them all, next, head back to the Rose Theater and talk to Ayuna. You’re going to have to fight all 8 Eeveelutions in a row!

This one honestly isn’t too bad, but her team does make good use of the field. Her Mega Alakazam will outspeed most Pokemon and its field boosted Psychic is brutal, so you want to find some way to outspeed and one shot it. Watch out for the Assault Vest pair - they can eat up super-effective moves easily and hit back with wide coverage.

As in her last fight, the Swift Swim can catch you off guard, but this team is certainly much less threatening. Electricity tears through most of it as before, and a Ghost / Psychic / Dark core can also do wonders here. You can also change the field to Icy Field by using Blizzard if Murkwater is too tough.

A bit harder of a fight this time especially thanks to the Chess Board. Be extra wary of his Lucario who hits like a truck and has priority. A well built Chess Board team can handle him - a powerful, slow Pokemon as the King, a lead who can take advantage of the Pawn’s Focus Sash effect, etc.

Up ahead, we’re going through a maze. The maze contains some maids to fight.

Another tough Chess Board fight! Every one of her Pokemon are pretty threatening in some way. Zoroark likes to prank you and murder with field boosted Sucker Punch. It also gets to inherit the ability and STAB of whatever it is copying, so be very wary of that. If Meganium gets off an Ancient Power with boost, its bulk may lead it to a sweep. That said, you can overwhelm her: she has weaknesses to Poison and Fighting, so using the Pawn, King, and Queen positions to deal heavy damage with these types may work.

Relationship Point Choices:

Time for a story choice. Hand It Over is a game over and causes (+10 Renegade Points), Abandon Them is a passing grade in the sense the game will continue, but causes (+10 Renegade Points), but you can also let the timer expire to Do Nothing.

Relationship Point Choices:

Time to play as Melia. Follow the path!

Boss Ferrothorn, Lv. 75 Suspended Rift Form @Leftovers Ability: Flash Fire Typing: Fire/Steel Shields: 3 - Power Whip - Leech Seed - Gyro Ball - Fire Lash Base Stats: 150 HP, 80 Atk, 150 Def, 80 SpA, 150 SpD, 20 Spe Brave Nature EVs: 100 HP, 52 Atk, 252 Def, 100 SpD IVs: All 31
Shield Break 3: - Effects added to boss's side: Reflect, Light Screen Shield Break 2: - Form changes to Unleashed Rift Form (Base Stats => 150 HP, 150 Atk, 100 Def, 150 SpA, 100 SpD, 150 Spe) - Boss's moveset becomes Flare Blitz, Energy Ball, Iron Head, Shift Gear - Boss's stat drops are cured - Boss's held item becomes White Herb Shield Break 1: - Boss's Atk, SpA, Spe stats raised 2 stages - Boss's Def, SpD stats lowered 2 stages

This is a tough battle. Its first two shields see a more defensive build that can wear you down with respectable damage from Fire Lash and Gyro Ball, while the latter two phases see it change to an offensive powerhouse that stops for no one.

Status conditions are permanent, so Paralysis can be extremely helpful in getting the edge on this thing. Trick Room can also be helpful for getting around the massive speed of the second form. It is doubly weak to Ground-type moves, so that will probably be your best offensive option.

Once you emerge victorious, accept the fast travel. Talk to Looker and Anabel on 36F to get the Rift Notes.

The year is 2002. GameFreak releases the third generation of Pokemon, my personal favorite! Upping the ante from the previous generations, Ruby and Sapphire will bring back weather conditions from the previous generation, this time, with new powerful legendary Pokemon that can summon them at will: Kyogre with its Drizzle, and Groudon with Drought. With the idea of Emerald surely on their minds, GameFreak was looking to design a Trio Master that could suppress these two legendaries and their abilities. Thus Rayquaza with its signature Air Lock ability would come into being. But… Air Lock has no oomph! It simply cancels other weather conditions, a far less interesting effect than creating synergistic and infinite weather conditions like Kyogre and Groudon can.

We jump a little ahead: the year is 2014. GameFreak wants to do a little power creeping. They opt to remake Ruby and Sapphire during Generation VI. Kyogre and Groudon would get shiny new Primal Forms at this time; each upping the ante from Drizzle and Drought: now each has its own new weather condition: Primordial Sea and Desolate Land. These two weather conditions only last for as long as their wielders are fielded, but are more powerful versions of Sun and Rain and, importantly, cannot be overwritten unless by the other. Yet the Trio Master must grow to meet them too: along comes Mega Rayquaza. Not only would Mega Rayquaza usurp the title of highest BST from the God of Pokemon itself by a whopping 60 points, but it would get its own new ability to match: Delta Stream.

Delta Stream is made to be on the same level of power as Primordial Sea and Desolate Land, better than Drought, better than Drizzle. Again importantly, Delta Stream cannot be overwritten, but is balanced by Mega Rayquaza needing to be out on the field. Delta Stream also neutralizes all Ice, Electric, and Rock moves used against Flying types. Mega Rayquaza was so strong the Smogon battle tier literally called “Uber” could not contain the power levels of this creature, leading to the creation of the “Anything Goes” tier.

So, with all this in mind, what happens when a game, maybe one whose name begins with “P” and ends with “okemon Rejuvenation”, decides to just… make an entire fight have innate Delta Stream? Against all Flying Pokemon? On top of a the Sky Field, a field custom made for strengthening Flying types via various ability and move buffs? What happens when this weather cannot be overwritten by any means other than Cloud Nine? Well…. it means you’re in for a ROUGH fight.

Let’s look at how this fight plays out. His first Pokemon comes in: a Skarmory that will likely cripple your lead as it has Sturdy, a Liechi Berry, and an insane field boosted single-turn Sky Attack, or perhaps it will use field-extended Tailwind. Unfezant gets a free Defense Boost upon switching in and has all its weaknesses cancelled by the Strong Winds and hits hard with Heavenly Wing and Sky Attack. Multiscale Dragonite won’t be missing its Hurricane and Thunder attacks; Oricorio with its crest has just enough Speed and Special Attack to do huge damage; and Aevian Volcarona is a monstrosity that feels custom made to make this battle even harder, for some reason. It is all topped off with another weakness-less Pokemon in Mega Pidgeot who will demolish you with Hurricane, Razor Wind, and Heat Wave. Frequent uses of Tailwind ensure his team is always outspeeding you, Heavenly Wing pulls the field back to Sky Field if you try to change it, and Strong Winds prevent you from getting an easy sweep. It is absolutely PAIN.

I will not pretend that it is impossible, however! Some ideas:

Win to get the Golden Wing Badge, raising our Level Cap to Lv. 80, and TM62 Acrobatics!

Aelita can be tough: she hits hard with spread moves, she gets Laser Focus applied every few turns, and she’s insanely fast. At the same time, you have Erin on your side, so you have a lot of ammunition to take her down: if you get stuck, Trick Room completely trivializes this fight.

A Note about Where Love Lies

Completing all the content so far marks the recommended point in the story you should consider going to play Version -1: Where Love Lies, a separate game made by the same creators which acts as a prequel to a part of this story. It is not required that you play it but it gives perspective and history on certain events in this game. You can find it here.

If you want a guide to the side story: Lucifer on the forums wrote up a fantastic guide to getting 100% in the side game, and so I wouldn’t want to waste time by writing my own guide to it.

Head to the south-central square in town. After the scene, head to the Hiyoshi Pass again. Attempt to enter Rejuvenation Co., then head back to the city. Talk to the woman directly above the truck, then head to Route 5. Head west as soon as you can on Route 5 and talk to Anastasia.

This is a very tough battle. It has FOUR shields, meaning you have to deplete its HP five times. On top of this is its Rift Ralts and Rift Kirlia reinforcements that have doubles-oriented moves like Quash, Poison Gas, and Helping Hand to make things more difficult. Gardevoir’s moveset changes at each phase, providing it a massive array of coverage on both the physical and special side. It even gets a massive nuke of a Z-Move in its last phase.

It doesn’t have a way to counter any status conditions or stat drops of yours however. Instead of going all in on attacks, you’ll need to consider debuffs. Thunder Wave as well as Flash, Screech, Fake Tears are all TMs we have at this point in time, so you can use some combination of them to wear it out then let a couple strong attackers in your party’s back take out each health bar.

If you have progressed in New Game+ thus far and have the Puppet Doubloon, instead of Gardevoir, you will fight the Nightmare Remix instead:

VS Ren in Sashila Village

Once you get control back, head to Nymiera’s house once again. Push the button on the back of the bookcase!

Back in Sashila, head out to the Zorrialyn Coast and go up past the Braviary Post to the Field of Pillars. Talk to Alexandra in front of the obelisk. After the scene, we’re gonna head west across the bridge for a battle with Ren! At least we’re familiar with his team.

A very, very tough singles battle, in no small part thanks to Protean Greninja. Changing STAB on the fly with one of the best speed stats in the game makes it a very tough opponent. On top of this is Aevian Roserade, Flygon, and Corviknight, all immune to the Desert Field’s Sandstorm chip, plus Arcanine and Silvally for hard hitting coverage. Take advantage of priority moves to deal with Greninja and utilize the field to your advantage to win this one.

Compared to some of her earlier fights, this isn’t that bad. She uses a standard desert-based sun team, meant to catch your leads off guard with powerful Heat Wave and anti-priority. If you can change up the weather, you’ll be golden. Alternatively, fighting Fire with Fire works well here, as only her own Ninetales and the frail Lycanroc resist your own Heat Wave.

Return to the help center to get $32500 and a Scented Lure. (+1 Karma).

Sand Stream Cave

You can return to GDC now if you want, but there’s even more desert exploration and quests we can do!

Next, we’re gonna enter Sand Stream Cave at the top left corner of Zorrialyn Desert West.

Grab the Hyper Potion up here. Hidden in this first room is 2 Yellow Shards, Carbos, Escape Rope, Berry Juice, and Grass Gem.

In order to proceed in the cave, we need a bit of luck: there needs to be stationary Hippopotas roaming the first floor. Exit and re-enter until this condition is met.

Enter any vortex to reach B1F. There are Hippowdon roaming around down here! Jump into the vortex in the sand pit to reach B2F. Grab the Revive here on B2F and find a hidden Red Shard, then another Revive and hidden Green Shard and Rare Candy past some Rock Climbs. In the center of the room is a hidden Light Clay. Grab the Full Heal, hidden Burn Heal, Clever Wing, and Genius Wing along the way, plus a Moon Ball in the southeast. Take the central vortex to B3F!

At the top of the room, you’ll find:

ZCore 1: Sand Stream Cave

Grab the Sandacondanite then exit the cave by climbing the ladder.

Zorrialyn Labyrinth

Next, we’re going to do some treasure hunting. Towards the bottom of Zorrialyn Coast is the entrance to the Zorrialyn Labyrinth. It costs $5500 per trip: we will be booted from the dungeon after a certain number of steps, meaning completion requires multiple trips. Try not to stray too much from the listed paths: there is a bit of wiggle room but not much.

B1F Trip 1: Items:

(1) PP Max (2) Relic Copper (3) HP Up (4) Relic Copper (5) Relic Copper (6) Magcargo Crest (7) Relic Copper (8) Seviper Crest (9) Dread Plate

B1F Trip 2: Items

(1) Heart Scale (2) Meadow Plate (3) Icicle Plate (4) Dread Plate (5) Insect Plate (6) Oricorio Crest

B1F Trip 3: Progress

Every time you want to proceed to B2F, you’ll need to follow these steps on B1F:

(1) Head to the wall on the left side and use Strength/Golden Gauntlets when prompted (2) Proceed to the ladder

B2F Trip 1: Items:

(1) Toxic Plate (2) Stantler Crest (3) Fist Plate (4) Flame Plate (5) Iron Plate (6) Hypno Crest (7) Earth Plate (8) Fearow Crest (9) Carbos

B2F Trip 1: Progress:

(1) Defeat this Cofagrigus against the wall (2) Proceed to the ladder

B3F Trip 1: Items:

(1) Relic Silver (2) Stone Plate (3) Leafeon Crest (4) Relic Silver (5) Sky Plate (6) Toxic Orb (7) Stone Plate (8) Glaceon Crest

B3F Trip 2: Items:

(1) Sky Plate (2) Relic Copper (3) Spooky Plate (4) Relic Copper

This is all we can do for now in the labyrinth!

Route 10

Talk to Damien at the top of Sashila and head back to Route 9. There, you’ll get HM02 Fly! Finally. If you have the Golden Wings you can use these now!

Next, we’ll visit a short new route. Just above the breeder on Route 9, head up and right. We can’t do anything there yet except catch some Pokemon.

You can also catch the overhead Wingull and Pelipper!

Pick up TM74 Gyro Ball. That’s it for Route 10.

A few more quick things to get on Terrial Island: head over to Oblitus Town via Route 7. Talk to the PokeFlute in Kelvin’s house and the top and agree to buy it for $45000. Make your way back to the northern clearing of Route 10 if you completed the Yui’s Ranch quest and use the flute to catch Snorlax!

Next, head over to Route 8. You can use Strength on the metal poles to knock off all the Pokemon on the wire, including new Scyther and Hawlucha! You’ll want to catch two Scyther: one to keep, one for a quest. You can do this by exiting and reentering Route 8.

Aquarium Quest 1

Now that we can fly back to Floria and Terajuma, there are tons of things we can do now with 12 Badges and HM Strength.

Our first destination is the Akuwa Town Aquarium. Back in the SOS room, talk to the director, who will ask us for help with the aquarium. The Pokemon we need to submit are as follows. If you don’t care about keeping any of them, submit the ones you already have, otherwise, here are where you can go get more (or breeding is always an option). There are 34 total. We can’t fully complete this quest (without some mystery egg luck) until the next chapter, but we can donate most of the Pokemon. I will do minimal evolution / maximal catching to complete this quest for fun, but feel free to evolve Pokemon if you wish.

We start by donating 10. These 10 should be easy to start with:

With 10 Pokemon donated to the aquarium, we will receive $60000 and the Super Rod! Our next objective is 20. A few more Pokemon we can easily donate right now:

For donating 20 Pokemon, we will be paid $60000. Our final target is all 34 Pokemon. There are a few more that we can add to the tank right away:

The last 10 Pokemon we will donate later on.

Neo East Gearen City & Help Quests

Fly over to West Gearen City. On Junction Bridge, push a boulder out of the way - now that we have the Dull Key, open the door here and use a GourmetTreat to get Litten! Exit east to the now “Neo” East Gearen City.

There are new trainers to fight and items on each map.

Head down to Oceana Pier. You can trade a Rockruff for a Rockruff with Own Tempo, which you can evolve into Lycanroc (Dusk). You can also find a hidden X Accuracy and Sweet Heart

Forest Restoration

Meet at the Route 1 Train Station, then enter Goldenwood Forest. Talk to Adrienn in front of where we fought Gyarados in Goldenwood Forest.

We’re gonna need to submit 3 workers, 1 Scyther, and $48000. Go ahead and submit the money when you have it.

Return to Adrienn and hand over the Scyther, then ask to see Progress.

This brings the Forest Restoration to Phase 2. Hidden on this version of the map is a Rare Candy. You can also find for a limited time:

ZCell 122: Goldenwood Forest (Phase 2)

For the next phase, we’re gonna need $58000, 1 Architect, and 3 Fishermen. Submit the money.

Return to Adrienn and inquire about Progress, bringing the restoration to Phase 3. You can grab another hidden Rare Candy above.

For the final phase, we’ll need to submit $68000, 7 Tiny Mushrooms, 1 bag of Stardust, and 1 Poliwag.

If you haven’t completed the Poliwag search quest, do so now. Feel free to submit that one if you have it, or, if its evolved, breed it. Finishing this quest will let us catch more Poliwag, so don’t worry if this is your only one. Grind TinyMushrooms/Stardust off of Paras/Staryu, respectively. Compoundeyes and Thief/Covet will make your hunt quicker. Submit it all to Adrienn.

This completes the restoration of Goldenwood Park!

Rock Climb immediately above, then use Strength to get to the top. Here, you’ll find an Ice Memory and have a chance to catch Sneasel! Next, towards the top of the area, surf across a pond, climb some rocks and use Strength again to pick up the Audinite! Finally, make your way to the spring. Battle and catch “The Emperor” (Empoleon). Back outside the forest, talk to Nana in her house for the Crabominable Crest and a King’s Rock!

Head to North Evergreen Cave just outside. Melt the ice again with a move like Lava Plume to get to the top. Push the boulder into this hole. On the next floor, you need to push it into the rightmost hole… unfortunately this is the farthest one away. On the next floor, navigate it all the way around to the hole on the bottom.

Quite a tough fight out of nowhere! Past its first phase, Gourgeist has a ton of ways to heal itself, so you have to find a way to either get clean one-shots, or suppress this healing. Transforming the field from Grassy Terrain into Swamp or Burning Field or Corrupted Field can be helpful.

Matrix Shot: Rock | Physical | 90 Pwr | 100% Acc | A rock clumped with gems is fired at the target, targetting its special defense.

Arenite Wall: Ground | Status | 0 Pwr | Perfect Acc | Puts up a wall of sand that reduces the power of super-effective moves.

The Inverse Field is the simplest Field in this game, with only a few effects to its name. Yet this fight is pretty difficult: despite their sturdiness, Rock types have a ton of weaknesses and few resistances normally, all of which is flipped in this battle. With tons of inverse-focused coverage in types like Grass, Normal, and Bug, your team is likely going to get caught off guard in this fight. He has a range of speeds on his team but nothing way too slow to pull off a Trick Room strategy, and he also has a Sash on Kabutops and similar effect on crested Rampardos. Stone Axe adds Stealth Rock to your side as well. His lead is tricky too: the Magical Seed transforms Tyranitar into a Normal type and adds Normalize.

Winning this fight will probably rely on a hazard to break the sash effects plus a sweeper. Fire and Normal moves are generally going to be your best bet here. Aerodactyl is fast but weak to moves like Quick Attack and Extremespeed, after all.

Win to get the Rugged Badge, which lets us use Dive and go up to Level 85. You’ll also get TM80 Rock Slide.

Lorna is often able to get off her 8-Turn Trick Room in this fight, allowing her slow Pokemon to outspeed. Psychic Terrain also nullifies priority moves, so you can’t simply use those. You’ll need to make a plan for Trick Room somehow: Taunt, Fake Out, simply one-shotting Aromatisse are all options that can assist with it. You can also use a super slow team of your own to take advantage. I recommend knocking out Aromatisse and stalling: once the screens and the trick room go away, you’ll have a much easier time taking out the rest of her team.

Zone Zero North

Head up and to the right down a little path. Defeat Mandibuzz, and pick up a hidden Yellow Shard. Then follow the path around to the top left of the area, pick up a hidden Red Shard, then talk to Ren then the cracked rock.

Head up and to the left to get a Data Drive and a battle with Skarmory. Follow the path to the right and enter the building. Go downstairs and read the journal, then head upstairs and exit.

Go left for a hidden Red Shard, then go right to the Pokemon Center area. After the scene, grab the Full Restore below. Activate a Braviary Post here, then go into the Center and talk to the crew.

A 12V6 battle sounds super easy, but you still have to watch out for Amanda’s Trick Room shenanigans. Madelis’ Houndoom can nearly one shot all the Pokemon that resist its Heat Wave under Torkoal’s sun, so try to support it and you’ll be just fine.

Relationship Point Choices:

We get to participate in a mech-battle sequence, with a more powerful Sakitron for completing Housesitting earlier. You don’t have to necessarily win this one. If you do want to win, I recommend just using the attack she references in the text right before you attack - if she uses “hammer”, “bash”, “top”, or “tank” in her text, you’ll be able to know which to use.

Once you regain control as yourself once more, head left and up out of the center, then enter the now-opened gate area.

After a scene, go left:

ZCell 129: Zone Zero

Also grab the Fire Stone above. Go down the stairs to the right. Pick up Code Garna Rift Notes. If you grabbed the Weird Diary in the past, now is another chance to use it to Save Hippowdon. Not doing so contributes (+10 Renegade Points).

Ren is actually incredible here, probably better than the average team that you have at this point. For this reason moves that delay Hippowdon or attract attention onto your Pokemon are going to be helpful - the longer you can keep Ren’s Flygon around, the better.

You can literally loot a knocked out Bladestar grunt for an Ability Capsule! Head up and out. Take a peep at Team Xen HQ on Reldin Island, then head right and up to the next map.

ZCell 130: Zone Zero

Head up and to the left for one more cutscene.

Relationship Point Choices:

Activate another Braviary Post, then head up.

Eclysia Pyramid

After the scene, enter the pyramid above. You’ll watch another, then on the left you’ll find:

ZCell 131: Eclysia Pyramid

Enter the spring at the top and watch the scenes play out. Next, we’re going to begin the crawl to the top, so enter the room at the right side of the lobby and head up. Enter the… GameBoy?

After a conversation in the AteBit Kingdom, exit through the GameBoy on the left and go up.

Progress through the area. In the room with the healing star, at the top:

ZCell 132: Eclysia Pyramid

Emerge at the Eclysia Skyview.

Do the Dive on Floria Island

So, I have a confession. Chapter 14 is incredibly awkward to route for a walkthrough, because we want to explore everything and progress sidequests as much as possible before getting each badge… but in this case, it’s weird. See, we need the Enigmatic Key we got in the Pyramid to get some things, so we have to progress at least to that point before we can tackle the side areas. At the same time though, the main story has a ton of momentum going towards the events at the top of the Eclysia Pyramid. In this case, the game literally just told us we have like 18 minutes to go until our friends in the pods will die. We are going to just roll with the absurdity and do a few hours of sidequests now, though you can come back to them after the Pyramid events are concluded if you wish. You can use the purple teleporter on the right to exit the pyramid (and reenter the Skyview later).

Fly to the Evergreen Island first, and surf down onto Route 11. First thing we are going to do is go all the way up and right in the route, to the large mostly circular dive spot. Dive down to reach the Evergreen Trench.

Hidden here is a Blue Shard and Damp Rock. Interact with the submarine at the top to begin the sidequest in this area: to activate the underwater pillars, tallest to shortest.

Surface, then go straight down and dive in the blob-shaped dive spot. Down here is a hidden Dive Ball. Resurface.

Fly back to Evergreen Island (to save a few seconds of surfing) and surf right, then down. You’ll find a 2x2 square to go down, where you’ll find the tallest pillar. Interact with it to activate it with the Enigmatic Key.

Surface, and dive down in the main area of Route 11. This gargantuan area has lots of hidden items, including 4 Blue Shards, Revive, GourmetTreat, 3 Heart Scales, Pearl, Sea Incense, Ultra Potion, Water Stone, Max Repel, Nugget, Dive Ball, and Green Shard. Anyways, towards the southwest area of the map, you’ll find a small 2x2 square to surface. Do so to grab TM33 Reflect and:

ZCell 133: Route 11

Dive back down. Straight down from here at the bottom of this area you’ll see a little tunnel you can go through. Do so and surface to nab TM16 Light Screen. Dive again and go left after exiting the tunnel to the north. Activate the taller pillar here.

Head straight to the right until you find another pillar. Activate it, then surface in the 2x2 square immediately to the right to get Icicle Plate. Dive down once more, and go up above the third pillar. Surface at this 2x2 square to grab the Primarium-Z!

Head back down, then go the the bottom-left-most corner. Below the taller pillar we already activated is the fourth pillar. Once the ground shakes, return to the submarine. After a conversation, surface, fly back to Evergreen, then dive right here and enter the door.

Shipwreck Recovery 2

Fly over to East Gearen and return to the Wreckage Site. We can actually complete the Shipwreck Recovery quest now that we can use Dive. Enter the S.S. Oceana Wreckage.

There is some Luminous Moss at the top of the entry room. Plant Device 1 here, on the X symbol. Heading to the right you’ll be attacked by Sharpedo. Enter a bedroom, pick up 5 Dive Balls, then follow the path. Pick up a Water Stone in the room next to you upstairs, then beat the next Sharpedo. More Luminous Moss is hidden here. A room to the left will contain the Sharpedonite! Plant Device 2 in here. To the right, beat another shark then follow the path to pick up 5 Dive Balls. Exit to the right for 5 Luxury Balls and the spot for Device 3, then exit to the left to find a shining Key and the spot for Device 4. A door at the top to the left leads you to a Dawn Stone as well as 3 Pearls hidden, plus the spot for Device 5. Finally, head up the stairs here and you’ll have a chance to battle and catch Mareanie! Catch like, four of them: for the Aquarium Quest, to keep, and one to trade away later. Plant Device 6 here! Exit the ship the same way we came in.

Surface, and Adrienn will give you the Alcremite! Use the key we found earlier to enter the warehouse on the left. Inside is the Lycanium-Z!

Return to the Help Center in East Gearen to get $15000 (+1 Karma).

Aya’s team is built for the Corrupted Field this time around, different from both Venam and Aya in Reborn. Field Hazard damage runs rampant here - watch out for Tentacruel’s Seed + Speed strategy and the hard hitting bulky mons she has hiding in the back.

Beating Aya is all we can do in this quest for now!

Aquarium Quest 2

We can now finally finish the Aquarium Collection Sidequest. The last ten Pokemon we need to donate are the following:

For submitting all 34, you’ll get $80000 as well as Froakie (+3 Karma)!

Do the Dive on Terajuma Island

Fly over to Helojak Island and enter the Helojak Factory. There’s a big dive spot in the main room - head down it to grab TM112 Smart Strike as well as Shadow Amaura! Use the teleporter to get out.

Next, fly to Teila Resort, and enter Aquamarine Cave. Make your way to the Aquamarine Chamber by pushing the floating rocks into place. Dive down in this area.

We’re going to need to activate a few panels in this area by floating over them, so follow this sequence:

Pick up the hidden Ultra Potion and Stardust as you go right. Surface at the bottom right to emerge onto Route 5, then go up to dive down at a new spot. You can find hidden Pearl, Star Piece, Black Prism, and a Protein here. Enter the Archives on the right side.

Read the lore on the green-tinted bookshelves, then grab the Zangoose Crest and the Ariados Crest.

Our first trainer battle on Underwater Field, and she does not mess around! This one is tough at first as she uses the Underwater Field well. In general, your non-water types will have their speed quartered on this field, which is obviously not good since so many of her Pokemon can hit really hard with field boosted moves. Whiscash is dangerous here, as it has no weaknesses (except Water itself, on the Underwater Field) and surely can set up on you if you can’t take it out in time. Luckily, if either Samurott or Whiscash uses Dive, the field will be returned to water surface, at least allowing you to not suffer so much speed loss. Her Raichu is devastating, as Surf and Discharge are both boosted by the field here, and it’s given double speed by Surge Surfer. Dhelmise is good on this field as well.

One great idea is to use your own water types as soon as Raichu and Dhelmise go down, as they suffer no speed loss and can take advantage of the field to hit Whiscash super-effectively and fight back against Samurott and Blastoise. Alternatively this is one of the field effects that is fairly easily changed: the Water Surface field or better yet the Icy Field or Murkwater Field can help tip the scales.

Win against Neptune to get the fourth Star Shard, Popplio, and a Somniam Mall Stamp.

While we’re in this area, surface at the top to enter Aquamarine Cave’s Secluded Shore. Use Blast Powder to reach Squirtle on the left.

Next, fly to Valor Mountain. Use the blue crystal and make your way to the Chamber of Awakening at the bottom. Dive down where we may or may not have fought Kyogre, then follow the path to the left and grab ZCrystal Waterium-Z. Take JUST ONE set of currents to the left, then go up and to the right. Activate this fifth panel, prepare for battle, and head up through the now-opened door.

Another tough Underwater Field battle, but like Neptune, field changes and/or your own Water types is the way to go!

Once you’ve won, head up to catch a Horsea. A weird prize considering we got Horsea a long time ago… but ok. To the left is the familiar part of the maze - exit to Aquamarine Chamber or Mynori Coral Reef.

Do the Dive on Terrial Island

We can take care of some more quests and exploration on Terrial Island next. Head to where we fought Souta behind the Rose Theater to get the Pidgeotite!

Kingdom of Goomidra

There’s another major side quest we can do: The Hero of Slime. Enter Honec Woods and make your way to the upper right-hand corner. Dive down here.

We don’t have enough Big Mushrooms outright to learn all these moves, so you’ll need to grind wild Paras/Foongus/Shroomish/Morelull for them.

In the top right area of the town, grab 3 Pecha Berries, 2 Lum Berries, 3 Starf Berries, 2 Enigma Berries, and 2 Aspear Berries.

Enter the castle at the top, then talk to Goomelda in her room. Exit the castle afterwards, then talk to Goomink in an upper left house of the village. At the top of the village, fight and beat Goomink!

Quite the tough boss. Kawopudunga gets stat boosts each time its shield breaks, which on top of Sitrus Berry replenishment, Water Veil, and stat drop cures means that it is hard to take out. Goomink as an ally is fairly weak but can deal super effective damage, so keeping it alive can be very advantageous.

Changing its ability or the field and applying a status condition will help out tremendously in this fight. Using a move like Topsy Turvy or Haze to turn off its boosts is a generally good idea as well. Otherwise, field-boosted Electric moves are generally going to be the way to go here. (Or, you can use Spore 24 turns in a row and let Goomink do all the work. Heroic!)

Our next quest takes place on the Badlands. Fly to Alamissa Urben and go straight up. Take the unconscious Karen back to the village, then agree to go to the labyrinth again.

Add any Water/Rock type to your party and head to the Zorrialyn Labyrinth. Make your way to the third floor just as we did before:

Now we can progress on the third level:

B3F Trip 3: Progress:

(1) Talk to the sign and present a Water/Rock type (2) Dive down

B4F Trip 1: Items:

(1) Relic Silver (2) Mind Plate (3) Calcium (4) Skuntank Crest (5) Heart Scale (6) Heart Scale (7) Relic Silver (8) Blue Shard (9) Kinglerite (10) Relicanth Crest (11) Splash Plate (12) Pixie Plate (13) Full Restore (14) PP Up (15) Dread Plate (16) Water Stone

It is worth noting that we exploit the very weird way this area is coded internally: simply entering the room (9) containing the Kinglerite causes the step counter to completely reset. This allows us to get all the above items in one pass. Once you get all the items, enter and exit this room (9) once more before we solve the puzzle to proceed.

B4F Trip 2: Progress:

(1) Defeat the four Luvdisc on this map (2) Exit at the bottom

Note that the first time you catch the Luvdisc in the bottom left, it will be holding the Luvdisc Crest!

Grab the Zap Plate and surface. Then, use dive in the sandy spot here. Attempt to grab the item ball.

I had a really really hard time on this fight for some reason, for lots of reasons. Cofagrigus is fairly slow but gets kills easily with field boosted Shadow Ball. It gets stat boosts, new items, and really busted partners with every shield break, so it’s pretty hard to stay ahead of all of its shenanigans. Priority moves can help you with Crest Magcargo if it comes out, though I recommend doing everything in your power to neuter Stantler but leave it alive while you focus on taking out Cofagrigus, so you don’t ever need to see the molten menace (or Leafeon).

Get the Cofagrigus Crest!

Afterwards, head to the top of this map and enter the door on top with the incantation. Head up to enter Castle Zygara, and agree to help Karen.

For making this choice, you can fly to the Zone Zero Outskirts, head down into Alamissa Urben, and enter a door all the way on the left, accessed via the top left side of the area. Grab the Life Orb! You can also read the journal.

In either case, with all the crests that we found in the crypt, fly to Sashila and talk to the Archeologist to the left for some lore, and the Dusknoir Crest!

Pyramid Point Badge

With all that content wrapped up in less than 18 minutes in game, clearly…. we now proceed to the top of Eclysia Pyramid. Take a Braviary over to the Pyramid and return to the top.

Desert’s Mark: Ground | Status | 0 Pwr | Perfect Acc | Applies a sinister mark on the target, damaging over time and changing its type to Ground.

Most of Rejuvenation’s fields have something you can exploit, something that you can do to either change the field or effectively steal its benefits for your own use. Unfortunately, Desert Field is not really one of these, as you cannot change it to any other field directly by moves. The Desert Field grants all Ground types a free 1.5x in Special Defense. Additionally, Dig comes out in just one turn and is boosted to 120 base power, so it’s an even stronger STAB Earthquake. Ryland’s team is very strong on the Desert Field: on top of default Sandstorm (not as bad as Strong Winds…) and two Crest-enhanced Pokemon, you’re gonna really need to think outside the box to win this one.

Let’s look at the team.

Let’s look at some strategies. Sun is a very good choice for this fight: it lasts eight turns and can boost the already boosted Heat Wave and Burn Up. Rain can potentially work too as Scald gets a 1.5x boost. You also may get some success by simply copying what Ryland is doing: send in your own tanky Ground types with Telluric Seeds and see what havoc they can wreak. You’ll get all the benefits of Dig, Bone moves, Needle Arm, Sand Tomb, etc. too!

After the battle, head down to talk to the group. Make sure you heal up and save, because there’s more… Head back up.

Defeat ??? with the combined power of Delpha and Adam!

That’s it for this bit, the spring will turn lush and green! If only this could’ve happened earlier to nullify the Desert Field! Anyways, go ahead and approach the spring when you can. You’ll get the Pyramid Point Badge and TM105 Arenite Wall!

You’ll wake up back in the Dream Complex. Talk to Melia on the couch to complete Chapter 14!

Relationship Point Choices:

Chapter 15: Vague Clarity

We will be taken to Sashila Village. Before continuing the story, a whole bunch of quests are open to us now that we have defeated Ryland.

Zone Zero Quests

Take a Braviary over to the Pyramid Outskirts and go up.

Surf to the left side and the right side of the pyramid to get Ground Memory and TM28 Dig. Could’ve been useful 15 minutes ago! You can also give a treat to Riolu for a battle.

Next, enter the Eclysia Skyview, then make your way down the lift. Once you use a teleporter, head left and surf up and across. Pick up the Magic Wand here, then exit the pyramid.

Make your way to the south side of Zone Zero. You’ll see two open doors to the same apartment building. Enter the one on the right first.

Ledian (F), Lv. 87 @Ledian Crest Ability: Iron Fist - Mach Punch - Ice Punch - Thunder Punch - Power-Up Punch Jolly Nature EVs: 252 Atk, 4 SpD, 252 Spe IVs: All 31

These mad lad developers did it - they made Ledian decent! It’s punching moves hit 4 times, meaning it’s gonna do lots of damage with coverage and priority options. The rest of Venus’s team is effective too, though almost entirely because of the team’s synergy with the field.

Reborn players should be used to this field by now, but here are some strategies that tend to work on this field. Revelation/Petal/Fiery Dance are all boosted under this field, so a team using these that targets their low special defense might succeed. Dragon/Swords/Quiver Dance also boost stats even more, so a sweeper might see success here if they can get the opportunity to set up. Acrobatics also is boosted here and can help you get rid of Ledian, Rillaboom, and Centiskorch.

Succeed to nab the third Star Shard, as well as the Ledian Crest, and a Somniam Mall Stamp.

Outside, enter the building to the left. Go up and climb down the ladder to reach the area where we were ambushed by Bladestar.

ZCell 134: Apartment Depths

Head up after grabbing this cell to get an Ability Capsule! Then, head left and follow the path all the way to the left to grab the shiny Lux Apartment keys. Exit the building and go straight to the right. Enter the tall apartment building with the key.

We have to complete a puzzle similar to Generation III’s Abandoned Ship backrooms.

ZCell 135: Lux Apartments

To the left from the Zone Zero Pokemon Center on the northern map, you’ll find that a gate has opened, leading you to be able to catch Gible, plus:

ZCell 136: Zone Zero

Fly over to Kakori Village. Enter a house on the left side and present the Magic Wand to get Fennekin!

One more quest in the desert area: make your way to the southeast corner of the Zorrialyn Desert by Poiloethal Forest to begin the Poisonous Luck quest. Follow Jangmo’o to Luck’s Tent in Zorrialyn Coast. Inside, you’ll be able to purchase Jangmo’o (Aevian) in exchange for 13 Black Prisms!

Take the time to breed Aevian Jangmo’o and take the spare to a house in Zorrialyn Desert East. We can trade it for Jangmo’o (the Alolan kind)!

Narcissa’s Hauntings Conclusion

If you’ve progressed Narcissa’s Hauntings so far, you can now continue this quest.

Fly to the Rose Theater, and enter Forlorned Cavern on Route 9. Enter the first room in the main area of the cave, with the Timesplicer Stone. After a scene with Narcissa, accept the fast travel to the Cliffside Grave if you’ve been already – if not, you’ll need to explore Amethyst Cave. Talk to her again, then accept fast travel to Phasial Cave.

Head up and watch the scenes play out. Then, in Narcissa’s house, talk to her upstairs. Head out and go to the Wispy Tower. Talk to young Narcy here and go in. Enter the lab, and head left. Talk to her again. Enter the western room, and surf up. Watch the CD Rom, then return to Narcissa’s house and talk to them again. Accept fast travel.

Follow the Rotom into the cave, then take the time crystal to the past. Interact with the safe here. Then, pull the lever in the top left corner, hiding in boxes. Go down the ladder and out. You can find hidden Revival Herb, Full Heal, Health Wing, and Blue Shard throughout the building. Unlock the gate, and head in.

After a scene, talk to Narcissa and agree to go. Enter the manor and head upstairs to the top left room. Talk to the safe after another scene for the Fairy Memory and Shiinotic Crest. Exit to the well in the backyard.

Grab the Code Rembrence Rift Notes and head up.

Dufaux is a difficult boss. Each phase of the fight adds something to Dufaux until it becomes a speedy spread move sweeper, so you have to do what you can to prevent this from happening. Narcissa is a very solid ally with supporting moves: using moves like Wide Guard and Protect to buy her time will help. Trick Room notably makes the final phases easier.

Relationship Point Choices:

Head to the Lost Castle. All the way at the top, you’ll get a chance to battle Rotom!

Fly to West Gearen and go talk to Gabriel at the West Gearen power plant. Follow him left, up, and up to get access to a room where you can change Rotom’s form! You’ll also get another Somniam Mall Stamp!

Missing Children 2

If you’ve completed all the steps of the Missing Children quest with Ana and Dylan so far, make your way to GDC. Make your way to the Underground. On the right side, you’ll now be able to find:

ZCell 137: The Underground

Enter Dylan’s house.

You’ll be taken to Dylan’s Kristiline Town house. Head outside, then follow Ana to the Sapphire Museum. Follow her next to the Lava Cookie restaurant. After that conversation, go back to Dylan’s and talk to her there. Talk to her once more to the left of the Pokemon Center.

Fly to Teila Resort and head to Route 5. The easiest way to reach the Secluded Shore is to dive down on the east side of Route 5, then surface just above the entrance to the Secluded Shore. You’ll get 5 Lava Cookies!

Back in Kristiline, fly to Teila Resort and talk to Ana in the middle. Gather intel from the townspeople then talk to her again. We don’t need to win the challenge, but if you’d like to, choose these options from her questions: first, fourth, second. Then talk to Gigiorno in the middle to get it started.

Back in Kristiline again, enter the house. That’s all we can do in this quest for now!

As this quest showed, we now have access to Grand Dream City once more. There are a few things we can take care of. First, enter Scholar District and enter the Fan Club. For beating Adam we should now have enough reputation that when we walk in, we will get a Somniam Mall Stamp as well as the Aerodactylite! Talk to a girl to get the Poisonium-Z as well!

Head west to the Festival Plaza. There is a new tutor on the left.

Atebit Doctor Quest

Make your way once more to the Eclysia Pyramid. Up the stairs on the right, you’ll be able to enter a rift to return to the area with all the “GameBoys”. Walk into the first to talk to Talon, beginning the Atebit Doctor quest.

Take the Purple GameBoy on the left and follow the path to the Pink GameBoy. Once you’re in the Syxtenbit Caves, head down the ladder to the right. Grab the Black Prism across the ice and proceed. Chase Isha through this area, grabbing the Razor Fang, Black Prism, and NeverMeltIce along the way. An Ice Heal can be found in the maze to the left of Zubat.

Continue pursuing Isha to the right. You can interact with Sneasel (Hisuian) on the right side! You can exit to the volcano area in the top right corner to catch more Cyndaquil, if you wish.

Isha is in the cave in the middle of the water down in Syxtenbit Cave, but we will confront him a bit later on. Head to the bottom left corner, where you’ll see a Black Prism.

Nearby you’ll see a ladder. Smash the rocks out of the way, push the boulder aside, and climb the ladder. Exit the cave, then immediately reenter the cave and climb back down the ladder. Push the boulder down a few times and it will fill a gap to the right, so you can get the Groundium-Z! Now head back up the ladder and exit for real.

We can surf in this outside area to reach new parts of the Atebit Kingdom. Surf to the right to reach the section we previously accessed via the library: a Larvitar can be caught at the top.

Surf down and left. West of “The Lighthouse” you’ll be able to land on a blue dock. West of this, you can land in “Trunkleaf City”.

If we had answered all of Eizen’s Rivers’ End questions correctly, he will offer us a game here, to relive the fight between Allen and Bladestar. Similarly to the fight with Amanda, we simply need to choose the attack that corresponds with whatever prompt our enemy says. After winning, you’ll get the ??? Memory.

After defeating him, you’ll be ejected from this area and returned to GDC.

While we’re in GDC, one new thing to obtain is available: if Florin is still alive (by not taking the Berserk Florin route), head to the Treasure Treehouse. You’ll find Talon here, who will task you with checking out a new area of Tyluric Temple. We have already explored this area: you can breed the Togepi (well, once you evolve it to Togetic) for a trade. Talon will next propose a trade, but talk to him a second time carefully, thanks to the maybe-maybe-not-intentional way this is coded:

Relationship Point Choices:

Anyways, he’ll give you Bagon, holding the Butterfreenite!

One more thing to grab. Annoyingly out of the way this may be, make the way all the way back to the room in the Syxtenbit Cave where we fought Isha and grab the Laprasite!

League Administration

Fly over to Sashila and talk to the group at the top. Head up in Alamissa Urben when you are ready.

Aegislash (F), Lv. 83 @Leftovers Ability: Stance Change - King's Shield - Swords Dance - Shadow Sneak - Sacred Sword Adamant Nature EVs: 252 HP, 252 Atk, 4 Def IVs: All 31

Gilded Helix: Normal | Special | 50 Pwr | 100% Acc | Two golden arrows matching the user’s type are fired. Critical hits land more easily.

The field effect is unalterable by moves, a broken seed effect that gives Aegislash one and Mimikyu TWO free turns turn to reach +4/+6 attack, all fire moves given an added Dragon typing hence can’t touch Togekiss, Mimikyu or Azumarill and are now neutral against Aegislash: it’s very stacked against you! Plus, her Zoroark has a crest that allows it to use Aegislash’s Stance Change ability… so be careful of that.

The good news is that you are given a couple options to make this fight work in your favor. For one, Steel moves also get a 1.5x boost and hit dragons super effectively, so they hit half of her team hard; Bullet Punch is a savior here. Normal types are immune to Aegislash and Mimikyu’s Ghost Attacks, so since they are not the fastest in the world a speedy normal type capable of knocking them out in one attack (after Disguise) might be the way to go. The Magical Seed “buys you time” to set up a sweeper, so I recommend using a couple of those if you’re really stuck here.

To win, you’ll receive the Fate Badge!

Outside, talk to Melia again.

Tell Alexandra you’re ready for training.

The strategy that worked for me was: Switch Manectric for Walrein, Waterfall on Houndoom turn 1. Then turn 2 was Blizzard with Walrein and Waterfall on Dugtrio, turn 3 was mega + discharge, waterfall on Dugtrio, then turn 4 was discharge + high horsepower to finish off Kingler.

This one can be tough, but not as bad as our first encounter with Angie. Erin’s Aevian Ampharos is good here, able to survive a decent chunk of the ice attacks and then hit really hard in return. I would recommend starting with something fast like Zangoose on the left side and Ampharos on the right, then focus all your attacks on Angie’s Pokemon (Mamoswine, Beartic, Walrein) to start. Once you knock them out, dealing with Cera’s three is much easier.

That’s it for the Diamond Route!

This is a tough battle as Cassandra has a lot of threats, and if you’re playing as Melia’s team, well, then Serperior, Cinccino and Lycanroc can outspeed your entire team. As such you need to leverage your team correctly - for instance, Togekiss can easily dispatch the Shadow Bisharp and Serperior, while Meganium can tank Cinccino and chip Mega Mawile well. Aevian Milotic will go down to a couple of Earthquakes from Mega Snorlax, and Mimikyu is a good backup revenge killer or late-fight sweeper.

That’s it for the Pearl Route!

Paragon and Renegade Routes

Some events in the story thus far have resulted in branching story paths to some extent, but the general arc of the story has remained the same. It is at this point that the story’s largest split occurs: the default route is called the Paragon Route… while a different, more difficult to attain route exists called the Renegade Route. Their names imply their true nature as to what side you’ll be fighting for, going forward.

To get to Renegade Route, you’ll need to end up with at least 100 of what I have called so far “Renegade Points” (RP). In addition to the points we may have due to story choices thus far, the following calculations are also done:

Current Karma (by my calculations, current maximum is 59) is:

Plus, you’ll get RP corresponding to current Relationship Point Values.

Adding up all the RP and comparing it to 100 will determine whether or not you can access the Renegade Route. If you can, follow the path left through the negative space area in your Nightmare Realm…

For both routes, you’ll need to confront, well, yourself.

The Naganadel has two shields, and her Stantler and Beheeyem have crests that make each much better. That said, if you don’t let Naganadel get too many Beast Boosts, her team is slow overall and you can sweep them with the right Pokemon. That said, winning this one is optional.

This battle has been made much easier since the previous version, though you still need to be careful. Mega Corviknight is very bulky and can set up Tailwind for its allies, while Mr. Rime is able to use Fake Out and deals decent damage. The somewhat slow but powerful trio of Sirfetch’d, Samruott, and Aegislash is in the back, ready to pick up one-shots if you don’t get to them first. You also need to watch out for Aevian Chandelure, whose Illuminate ability will redirect single-target attacks to it on the first turn it is on the field.

Relationship Point Choices:

Head up and follow the path to obtain the Interceptium-Z!

The Interceptium-Z allows any Pokemon to use one of FOUR custom Z-moves.

Unleashed Power: ??? | Special | 150 Pwr | Perfect Acc | A supreme form of Hidden Power that can break through barriers like Reflect and Light Screen.

Blinding Speed: ??? | Physical | 80 Pwr | Perfect Acc | The user attacks at priority with such mighty speed that its ally can move immediately.

Domain Shift: ??? | Status | 0 Pwr | Perfect Acc | The user alters reality around it, replacing the active Field Effect with another one at random.

If the player is on Paragon Route, the fourth move choice will be:

Elysian Shield: Fairy | Status | 0 Pwr | Perfect Acc | A grand impregnable shield halves damage taken for 5 turns and boosts the user’s defenses.

If the player is on Renegade Route, the fourth move choice will instead be:

Chthonic Malady: Shadow | Status | 0 Pwr | Perfect Acc | Cursed power petrifies and torments the target, additionally harshly lowering offenses.

Partner: Leader Aelita

The Puppet Master’s multiple forms take you through different fields and different typings, though Aelita is fairly helpful against the Hand forms, so do what you can to support her. Once the second-to-last shield is broken, it reaches its strongest yet slowest form, meaning you can wear it down with Defense drops and go crazy dealing damage to it. It inflicts tons of status conditions over the course of the fight, so moves like Safeguard or items like Lum Berries may be useful.

Man, this guy keeps showing up and is never any less annoying. He generates his own Haunted Field, real funny. All his Pokemon hit really hard, and Clefable even comes with a synergistic Burn to prevent other status. Mega Gengar is insanely fast and with field boosted Shadow Ball can kill almost anything, Krookodile starts strong and can go on a Moxie rampage starting with its Z-move, Aevian Parasect’s ability guarantees it a second life after you knock it out the first time, and on and on this fight’s difficulties go.

Parasect and Clefable are the main Pokemon stopping a speedy/Trick Room sweeper, so consider Pokemon that can deal with those two for support. Your own ghost types can deal heavy damage here. Fire moves gain Ghost typing, so once you can knock out Chandelure, a Fire type may be able to go on a tear here.

Push the button and enter the teleporter. Go left then down and enter the newly opened door to get a Master Key.

Before we fight the gym leader though, there are some quests we can get done!

Post Nightmare Quests

Fly over to East Gearen. Enter the Magnolia Library and show your Aevian Litwick to Zumi, who’ll reward you with 30 Exp. Candy L and the Manectite. That’s the end of the PictoZumi quest!

Sadly, Ayuda next door is currently completely incapable of perceiving our 140+ Zygarde Cells, even though that is the amount he’s currently looking for. Maybe in V14 we’ll get our reward, Ayuda.

Next, make your way to the Den of Souls via the Goldenwood Silent Grove. Head up to pick up the HP Up. Follow the path to the city area and find a Revive on the left. Hidden here is also Nugget, Damp Rock, and Red Shard. Make your way to the 3rd HQ via the elevator and head to the 3rd floor. In the rooms with the notes, you can grab an Antidote, a Full Heal, and a Revival Herb. A room to the left has an Elixir in it. On the second floor, you can find a Max Potion.

Exit to the 3rd Layer. On the right is an Ultra Potion. Talk to the broken mech-Gyarados to the left. Inside, you’ll get a Dragon Memory. Head up to get the Glalitite! Proceed left and pick up the Tiny Mushroom.

After 1 Pokemon have fainted: Field changes to Glitch Field -> After 2 turns: Field changes to City Field -> After 3 turns: Field changes to Colosseum Field -> After 4 turns: Field changes to Factory Field -> After 5 turns: Field changes to City Field -> After 19 turns: Field changes to Colosseum Field

Super U.M.D. Move: Steel | Physical | 90 Pwr | 100% Acc | This attack will be Physical or Special, depending on which would do more damage.

My love letter to the insane wackiness that was V13 Saki is unfortunately moot. No longer will you the player need to deal with Wonder Room Glitch Field shenanigans. The good news is though that this fight has been replaced by another very interesting one, though not quite as hard as the previous.

A fun gimmick with this fight is that Saki changes the field a whole bunch. It starts on Factory, but will change to Glitch Field after the first knock-out. She likes to send in Durant second onto the Glitch Field to activate its Synthetic Seed and make it typeless. Following this, you’ll go through the City Field, never-before-seen Colosseum Field, and once more through the Factory Field until the field settles on City for what probably accounts for the rest of the fight. If you opt for stall or take too long, the field will eventually permanently switch to Colosseum for the remainer.

Her Pokemon have a decent spread of coverage moves, speed, priority, etc, but it shouldn’t be a major difficulty spike at this point. If you find yourself taking heavy damage on any of the one-turn temporary fields, consider opting for Protect to skip ahead to the next. The City Field is a hard one to plan around for this fight: its only move boosts are to types that Steel resists anyways. Perhaps better is to switch the field to Back Alley, where you can boost moves like Sucker Punch to better deal with Mega Metagross! Otherwise, a healthy mix of Fire, Fighting, and Ground moves for offense with some priority will do the trick.

Win to get TM91 Flash Cannon as well as the Forgery Badge, which raises the Level Cap to Lv. 90!

Chthonic Malady: Shadow | Status | 0 Pwr | Perfect Acc | Cursed power petrifies and torments the target, additionally harshly lowering offenses.

The Deep Earth Field hasn’t been explored much so far, so you’ll likely be caught off guard by all of Crescent’s tricks on it. In a nutshell this field makes all effects of weight and speed amplified in some way: Gyro Ball becomes max power (speedy Mega Metagross oneshots easily), Iron Ball modifies Speed directly (for Malamar, raises it), many moves like Dragon Rush and Icicle Crash, and Ground moves in general are boosted, and Gravity is always on. High priority moves like Sucker Punch and Vacuum Wave have their power lowered here, though lower priority moves like Vital Throw are boosted. You get to take advantage of all these things too, so get to reading those field notes if you are stuck. Be careful of Crescent’s Gothitelle: it instantly uses its custom move when it is sent into battle, applying the custom Petrification status, lowering its stats, and Tormenting it. Plus, it has a Crest and two Shields.

Relationship Point Choices:

After you win, wake up Adrest, then head up and around in this bizarre place.

You’ll find yourself playing as the original Interceptor once more, in a cold, grey, mysterious world. Head right a few rooms and attempt to take the elevator. After a chat, try the elevator again. Read the journal entries.

Once you’re back at the Obelisk, reenter. Grant Melia access.

You’ll awaken in Zeight on the 8th. Talk to Erin in the second room from the right. Before we accept her request and continue .Karma Files… there are a bunch of sidequests that have opened up! Legendary ones!

Legendary Quests (Paragon)

While we’re in Sashila Village, a new in-game trade has opened up. A girl is at the bottom of the village, just to the right of the bottom-rightmost house. She wants our Toxapex in exchange for a Magikarp (Aevian) named Hot Dog! How nice. Talk to the very same Toxapex afterward to give it a small loan of $100,000 to get 10 Pearls, 3 Big Pearls, a Pearl String, and the Toxtricitite!

Head to Route 4 next. Cairo now has one final crest he’ll sell us for 14K Red Essence!

This a very tough fight on a tough field. This is our first 12v6 in this game, and Spirit Xara and Jean pull no punches. They each have two Crest Pokemon, a Z-Move, and a Mega Evolution. Their Pokemon are all across the stat spectrum and all across the typing spectrum, so there’s not really one particular strategy that works here. The Delcatty inherits 10% of each of its allies stats… with 11 allies, that means it more than doubles each stat! Delcatty alone is a MONSTER to take out, but the pair of late scientists has eleven more Pokemon to boot.

One piece of good news is that there are only a few spread moves, so using Protect to counter the AI can help you get momentum. You really want to focus on crippling or taking out Delcatty first, then focusing on the rest of the team later on. Dragapult’s screens are very annoying - if you can get rid of those and get a Pokemon some SpA boosts and let it spam Hyper Voice or Blizzard, you are generally going to be set with the right allies to support.

Win this very difficult battle to get 5 Blue Shards, 5 Red Shards, 5 Green Shards, 5 Black Prisms, 5 Exp. Candy XL, as well as the Copperajite and Beedrillite!

Oh, by the way. If you managed to grind all the way up to 999 Black Prisms, you can get Necrozma by asking Mr. Luck for ??? and going to Rhodea’s Penthouse.

Also by the way: if you cheat to get 999 Black Prisms, well…

No reward for you, cheater! Gotta do it legitimately :]

Legendary Wings (Paragon)

Talk to the scientist with the hood in the League Administration to get the Legendary Wings quest.

First, fly over to Evergreen Island. All the way on the southeast side of Route 11 is the Seabound Cave East; climb the stairs outside on its island to catch Articuno!

Next, fly over to Goldenleaf Town and head west to Goldenwood Forest. Cross the easternmost land bridge to catch Zapdos!

Finally, fly over to Teila Resort and follow the path through the Magrodar Crater. Catch Moltres!

Return to the scientist to finish this quest.

Vivian’s Regret (Paragon)

Fly to Sheridan and enter Carotos Mountain. Make your way through the Corrupted Cave to the Garufa Sanctuary.

Inside the sanctuary, you’ll see various Darchlight Crystals scattered about. Talk to each one of them to view a scene - eventually a glowing door in the left wing of the area will be unlocked. Head in, read the book, and show a Water type to the statue in order to activate one more Darchlight Crystal at the entrance. View that one, then head towards where we fought Groudon. Smash this Darchlight Crystal and enter the teleporter.

Step on the seven tiles in the next room to catch Regirock!

Nymiera will unlock one more seal and warp you to the door, so go up.

Here’s the thing: the way the boss’s shields work means you cannot defeat it. The game does not expect you to defeat it. If you manage to break its shield 100 times though, the game rewards you by telling you you’re wasting your time and treating it as a loss anyways! How to accomplish this, I leave as an exercise to the reader.

Destroy the terminal, or don’t, then head out of this room.

That wraps up this quest!

Anju’s Quest (Paragon)

Next, fly to Kristiline and make your way through the Church of Theolia portal to reach the Tower Cellar. Make your way through the wall in order to reach the room that is directly on the right of the entrance - you need to exit the wall, go right, then go right and up in the next room to accomplish this. Use the Darchlight Crystal to create a bridge, then walk into the rift in the next room.

To the right in the Crystal Fairytale area, you’ll find the Icium-Z! Talk to Anju above, then her mother. Talk to Anju again, then find her at the top right for a third conversation. Pick up her Lillipup in the bottom left corner and return to Anju. Finally, head up for a battle.

This area is rather annoying: you can turn on the lights using a few switches scattered about, but they will automatically shut off shortly after. Try to get a glimpse of the floor tiles before the light goes off to figure out where you are as you traverse and defeat copies of the above Defense Mechanisms. Or, you can use my picture guide to keep your sanity:

The five people we need to find are located at the tiles circled in pink. You can use a teleporter to reach a Black Prism (A) and pick up the Dubious Disc (B) and Ancient Teachings (C) in a bottom right room.

Lake Spirits

So, the Lake Spirits have also just… appeared in their respective dens. We’re going to go grab them. Make sure you have a GourmetTreat for each.

Fly to East Gearen and go to Goldenwood Park. Surf up at the very top of the hill to reach the Den of Verity to catch Mesprit!

Fly to Teila Resort and enter Aquamarine Cave. Down one floor you can dive on the large lake to reach the Den of Acuity. Catch Uxie!

Finally, fly over to Yui’s Ranch and take a Braviary to Honec Woods. Exit Honec Woods to the west to reach the area with the Azelf Statue. Walk towards the shining star to reach the Den of Valor (not to be confused with Valor Mountain, of course) and catch Azelf!

ZCell 142: Den of Valor

Parks and Wrecks (Paragon)

For our next quest, fly over to East Gearen City. Make your way to the left backroom of the Lab to talk to Adrienn if you have completed Reborn Again and the Neo East Gearen Help Quests to begin a new quest: Parks and Wrecks.

Head over to the Magnolia Library, cut the nearby tree, and talk to Adrienn, Aya, and Jan then enter. Inside, talk to the poster in the back to discover a secret path! Follow it and take the elevator.

To the right you can read a journal. Do the same to the left, then interact with the panel to lower the shutter downstairs.

Xenogene Splicer’s Revenge Quest

Time for a big one! Enter Rhodea’s Penthouse in Grand Dream City. There is a flier on the table about something going on at Pokestar Studios! Read this flier then head over there by exiting the complex and walking left. Head in to the theater on the right and follow Mr. Dyre Rektor…

Watch the film he shows, then head west outside to his office building and talk to him in the rightmost room. Accept the fast travel home and talk to the briefcase to get started. Return to the studio again and agree to start with Aelita in the lobby. Inside, you’ll get the jist of how this sidequest goes: talk to your co-actors, direct from the chair, etc. Make sure you talk to all the co-actors and crew as well as attempt to enter the bathroom between every shoot to get maximal rewards. Talk to the chair to begin filming the first part of the movie!

Recording Session 1

Take some time to explore this part of the Movie World. Based on what I’ve read online, this quest is actually based on concepts from Zumi’s scrapped game Pokemon Xenogene. It is cool to see at least part of the region and many of its characters realized in this sidequest in Rejuvenation!

Anyways, enter the building at the top of the area. Head downstairs at the top to “pick” a starter: it has to be Shinx, at the bottom.

When you are yourself again, prepare for a gauntlet?? You don’t have to win any of these fights right now, but we will need to complete the gauntlet eventually. I will cover completing this gauntlet later on when it is necessary… though if you get it out of the way now, great for you!

Follow Kanon to Fort Rystrine. Once you have control again, follow Crescent to the very tip of Zorrialyn Coast.

After a conversation in Oblitus Town, you will be given the chance to activate Interceptor’s Wish (though, with no battles, this doesn’t do anything).

As Melia, talk to Erin. After Lavender’s Alakazam does its thing, interact with the blob at the very top.

Once you’re back in Zeight, you’ll be able to see the progress we’ve made on the Karma Files so far. You can also attempt the gauntlet from earlier again at the computer.

Exit Zeight. This next section is a bit different depending on if Karen is Alive or if Karen is Dead.

If Karen is alive, read the note from Gliscor outside of Zeight, then head to Alamissa Urben next to find Ryland in the center. You’ll have to find the Johto Legendary trio and challenge each to a battle on the Desert Field.

If Karen is dead, head to Alamissa Urben and enter the room at the bottom where Celine is being preserved. Talk to Alexandra inside. You’ll have to battle the Johto Legendary trio and challenge each to a battle on no field.

Suicune is down and to the left if Karen is alive:

The fight dramatically changes after a shield break: par for the course for a boss battle by now. What you should know is that you can actually catch Suicune once all of its shields have broken!

Gauntlets are very rough. You train the whole game to get used to using Pokemon in such a way that getting one knockout per Pokemon is enough to win a fight. A gauntlet like this one makes it so that each of your Pokemon has to knock out three Pokemon on average. And the opponents here are all of our allies with their very powerful and varied teams, meaning winning this gauntlet is no small feat. Whether it’s training new team members, playing with trial-and-error to figure out where the AI will target its attacks in each fight so you can gain some momentum, etc.

The good news with this gauntlet is that you have a lot of room to work with on the Deep Earth Field as well as via a move like Trick Room. There are tons of ways to slow your Pokemon down on the Deep Earth Field - making use of them to steamroll your opponents’ mostly fast teams is probably the easiest strategy here. Similarly you can opt for a way to overwhelm them with speed control: Sticky Web, Tailwind, Sun/Chlorophyll or Rain/Swift Swim, etc. can all be very viable here. The game has been generous enough to give you a bunch of really strong tools by this point in the game - abuse them to the best of your ability to come out on top.

The fight against Tiempa shouldn’t be too terrible, all things considered. Her gimmick is making you really slow, which means you have to say goodbye to speed control. That is, unless you opt for Trick Room, in which case winning this one shouldn’t be too bad with a few strong super effective moves.

Spacea is another beast altogether. Ignore the “Minior” autogenerated above: for every shield you break… Spacea will just STEAL YOUR POKEMON. She simply steals your Pokemon and fills its health to full. If there is a silver lining to speak of, its that she likes to use Surf, meaning you can opt for Protect or Wide Guard to have her faint your own Pokemon. This also means there’s a bit of gaming to do in regards to which Pokemon you let her have - the lower their HP, the more easily you can knock them out. With very careful planning, you even can let her steal a Pokemon with Water Absorb that doesn’t have much offensive power to even the playing field - she can’t steal a new Pokemon while she already has an ally. Alternatively, if you intentionally knock out your own Pokemon while it is on Spacea’s side, it will return to your party with the same status as before, so you can plan around having your Pokemon back on your side if you wish.

You’ll find yourself in the cold, grey, mysterious world once again. Interact with the glowy thingy below.

Erin will ask you for two passwords. Of course, they are “POKEMON” and “REJUVENATION”.

This a very tough fight on a tough field. This is our first 12v6 in this game, and Spirit Xara and Jean pull no punches. They each have two Crest Pokemon, a Z-Move, and a Mega Evolution. Their Pokemon are all across the stat spectrum and all across the typing spectrum, so there’s not really one particular strategy that works here. The Delcatty literally gets +110% to each stat thanks to its Crest on the first turn… imagine my surprise figuring out how to finally take Delcatty out only to realize there were 11 more Pokemon waiting to take me on.

One piece of good news is that there are only a few spread moves, so using Protect to counter the AI can help you get momentum. You really want to focus on crippling or taking out Delcatty first, then focusing on the rest of the team later on. Dragapult’s screens are very annoying - if you can get rid of those and get a Pokemon some SpA boosts and let it spam Hyper Voice or Blizzard, you are generally going to be set with the right allies to support.

Win this very difficult battle to get 5 Blue Shards, 5 Red Shards, 5 Green Shards, 5 Black Prisms, 5 Exp. Candy XL, as well as the Copperajite and Beedrillite!

Oh, by the way. If you managed to grind all the way up to 999 Black Prisms, you can get Necrozma by asking Mr. Luck for ??? and going to Rhodea’s Penthouse.

Also by the way: if you cheat to get 999 Black Prisms, well…

Legendary Wings (Renegade)

Talk to the scientist with the hood in the League Administration to get the Legendary Wings quest.

First, fly over to Evergreen Island. All the way on the southeast side of Route 11 is the Seabound Cave East; climb the stairs outside on its island to catch Articuno!

Next, fly over to Goldenleaf Town and head west to Goldenwood Forest. Cross the easternmost land bridge to catch Zapdos!

Finally, fly over to Teila Resort and follow the path through the Magrodar Crater. Catch Moltres!

Return to the scientist to finish this quest.

Vivian’s Regret (Renegade)

Fly to Sheridan and enter Carotos Mountain. Make your way through the Corrupted Cave to the Garufa Sanctuary.

Inside the sanctuary, you’ll see various Darchlight Crystals scattered about. Talk to each one of them to view a scene - eventually a glowing door in the left wing of the area will be unlocked. Head in, read the book, and show a Water type to the statue in order to activate one more Darchlight Crystal at the entrance. View that one, then head towards where we fought Groudon. Smash this Darchlight Crystal and enter the teleporter.

Step on the seven tiles in the next room to catch Regirock!

Nymiera will unlock one more seal and warp you to the door, so go up.

Here’s the thing: the way the boss’s shields work means you cannot defeat it. The game does not expect you to defeat it. If you manage to break its shield 100 times though, the game rewards you by telling you you’re wasting your time and treating it as a loss anyways! How to accomplish this, I leave as an exercise to the reader.

Destroy the terminal, or don’t, then head out of this room.

That wraps up this quest!

Anju’s Quest (Renegade)

Next, fly to Kristiline and make your way through the Church of Theolia portal to reach the Tower Cellar. Make your way through the wall in order to reach the room that is directly on the right of the entrance - you need to exit the wall, go right, then go right and up in the next room to accomplish this. Use the Darchlight Crystal to create a bridge, then walk into the rift in the next room.

To the right in the Crystal Fairytale area, you’ll find the Icium-Z! Talk to Anju above, then her mother. Talk to Anju again, then find her at the top right for a third conversation. Pick up her Lillipup in the bottom left corner and return to Anju. Finally, head up for a battle.

This area is rather annoying: you can turn on the lights using a few switches scattered about, but they will automatically shut off shortly after. Try to get a glimpse of the floor tiles before the light goes off to figure out where you are as you traverse and defeat copies of the above Defense Mechanisms. Or, you can use my picture guide to keep your sanity:

The five people we need to find are located at the tiles circled in pink. You can use a teleporter to reach a Black Prism (A) and pick up the Dubious Disc (B) and Ancient Teachings (C) in a bottom right room.

Parks and Wrecks (Renegade)

For our next quest, fly over to East Gearen City. Make your way to the left backroom of the Lab to talk to Adrienn if you have completed Reborn Again and the Neo East Gearen Help Quests to begin a new quest: Parks and Wrecks.

Head over to the Magnolia Library, cut the nearby tree, and talk to Adrienn, Aya, and Jan then enter. Inside, talk to the poster in the back to discover a secret path! Follow it and take the elevator.

To the right you can read a journal. Do the same to the left, then interact with the panel to lower the shutter downstairs.

Hitting them with super-effective Physical moves is generally going to help you out here: Fire, Poison, and Steel in particular.

Fly over to Kristiline Town and enter Dylan’s house if you have progressed Missing Children up to this point.

Head upstairs and talk to the statue, then go underground downstairs.

Talk to Ana to go to the 3rd Layer. Enter the building to the right. After a chat upstairs, head west across the bridge outside and enter the small building above. Pick up the H-Disk in the next room and use the teleporter.

Return to Dylan’s house, then head over to the lift in the Underground. Use the H-Disk on the nearby machine to go down. Head up to take part in the “game”.

Tiempa’s fight is extremely complicated. Once you “knock it out” by breaking all of its shields and its final HP bar, Tiempa timewarps to the previous snapshot, which here is just before she loses her second shield. From here you’ll need to defeat both shields again, though you have to be careful: if enough turns go by, a timewarp will be executed to a previous battle state. This means you need to survive six health bars at a minimum while going fast!

Choose some options in the following… interactive scene? to end Spacea and Tiempa.

Back in the Zeight, wait until the 25th. Once you have control again, exit Zeight.

Complete the V13.5 Dex

At the moment, Rejuvenation has no rewards for Pokedex Completion. The 100% player may still want to achieve maximal dex completion - in this section I will help us get there. Throughout the guide have been static, wild, and event Pokemon - there remain many evolutions of these Pokemon plus some breeding needed to finish the Pokedex. In general, you’ll need to frequent these locations:

In general, evolutions and breeding mechanics are exactly the same as in the canon games. Where evolution methods and the like differ, I detail below.

As for the Aevian forms, assume they evolve the same as their base forms, except in these cases:

Unobtainable Pokemon

As of V13.5, Generation IX Pokemon have not yet been added to the game, so none are yet available. In addition, you cannot get any of the following Pokemon at this time:

Full Password List

I don’t recommend reading this list until you’ve played through the game once - this list is pretty comprehensive and spoils some gameplay elements. Regardless, I have listed every password and its effect below:

Quality of Life Passwords

Difficulty Passwords

Shenanigan Passwords

Bulk Passwords

The bulk passwords essentially are packs of the above listed passwords - using one will activate all of the contained passwords. Keep in mind that if a pack contains a password that disables online then the bulk password will too.

The Terajuma Password

The Terajuma Password is an interesting one: it starts you off midgame in Chapter 5, as soon as the Xen Ship hits Terajuma Island before the Valarie gym battle. This point was likely chosen because the story contains no splits before this point. You will get all the necessary bag items, badges, and story progression flags thrown such that you can continue the playthrough. Most interestingly, you actually will get a pre-built team based on which character profile you go with here, so feel free to experiment with which profile has which Pokemon. These teams have some Pokemon Forms, Mega Stones, etc. that aren’t available otherwise!

The other notable thing is that the game defaults you with a massively large or small amount of Karma depending on whether you choose Paragon or Renegade: Plus or minus 100 respectively. That makes this the easiest way to sail into the Renegade Route on a second playthrough. The latter choice also puts -5 Relationship Points on most characters by default.
