Guyyyyys, I've finally picked this back up again and cannot remember what I was supposed to be doing.
What do I need to do before I can access route 18? I beat the gym in the last city, not sure where the plot was leading me after that.

~EDITED~
The "gym in the last city" being Olympia (Anistar City, the last city before Route 18) or Wulfric (Snowbelle City, the last gym before the Elite Four)?  If it's that you can't get into Route 18, there are two possible parts of the plot you could be at, assuming you already triggered Team Flare's Holocaster broadcast...

Spoiler: Part 1 - Lumiose City (click to show/hide)

Head to Lumiose City, go into Lysandre Café, and beat up Team Flare to stop them from blowing up the world.  Fairly straightforward, and that bloke who was most-definitely-not-a-villain chattering on about how the world needed to be purified by whatever means necessary?  Yeah, surprise of surprises, he's a villain.

Spoiler: Part 2 - Geosenge Town (click to show/hide)

OK, so you failed to stop them from activating their big death ray (either because you flubbed up or because they're jerks).  To solve this, fly to Geosenge Town and punch Lysandre in the face.  Oh, and don't forget to get your picture taken in front of the giant death flower of mass destruction busily absorbing the life force of the Pokemon in the area.  You have plenty of time to enjoy the tourist traps.

Yeah, I know Lysander's the villain etc., but I don't remember ever fighting any Team Flare mooks in the café itself.
Alright, time to saddle up my woobat (after digging it out of storage in Box 2) and fly over there! Thanks!

[Yoink]

Alright, I'm back on track with the story now, thanks.
I've now been sidetracked going back and levelling a bunch of weak pokemon I've had lying around in storage since forever.

In related news: AAAAAHH WHY IS VOLBEAT TWERKING AT ME

[umiman]

Cause he's a prankster.

[RekkaAtsuma]

Well, Looks like I wont be paying for the bank anytime soon...I just decided I'm gonna take an elongated break from console and handheld games under the influence of a game combination known as Dwarf Fortress and ESO.

That said, if any of you wanna contact me, best to PM me.
Now once Diancie is released I may pop up again, but right now nothing is for sure except that I'll be gone a while.

Before I leave though, and to stay on thread-topic:
I have a Shiny Latios I wanna use in the battle-mansion, but should I run him as dual screens or sweeper? His IVs aren't perfect but are decent.
...also what kinds of teammates should I give him?

[umiman]

If you want him to be dual screens, then it doesn't really matter what you pair him up with as he's not really going to do anything once he casts both screens.

If you want him to sweep, then give it something life orb and pair it with something for healings and some other guy with more coverage that Latios doesn't have. Something like an Edgequake user or fire or ice.

Maybe something like this:

Latios | Alomomola (heal pulse) | Terrakion

[Reudh]

What pokemon is there that can face Terrakion head on? I know there are very, very few.

[umiman]

It's very tough but it's not impossible.

He's essentially a superior Garchomp. Faster speed. More damage. Tankier. So you gotta deal with him like you deal with Garchomp.

He also has a stupidly predictable moveset. Again, like Garchomp. His moves are:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1. Stone edge / rock slide (in multi battles)
2. Close combat / sacred sword
3. Swords dance
4. Substitute

I say predictable like it's an easy thing to fight. But between his two moves he can kill anything in two hits and many things in one. But anyway, basically you have to outsmart him or have a setup sweeper like Blaziken / Scizor be fully pumped up so they can 0HKO him when he switches in. Also, if for some stupid reason the enemy doesn't have substitute, just hit him with a will-o-wisp and Terrakion is made completely useless.

Here's an example of an outsmart:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1. You have Charizard out. Enemy sends out Terrakion.
2. You know that enemy will use stone edge. So you can send out something that can tank stone edge. However, the problem is that there almost isn't a single pokemon that can tank stone edge and then kill Terrakion. But you have a plan. You send out Ferrothorn.
3. You now know the enemy will use close combat. Ferrothorn can't kill Terrakion (unless Terrakion switched into a power whip) but you can switch again. You switch for Azumaril to tank the close combat and royally screw over Terrakion.
4. Azumarill comes out and takes minor damage from close combat. Terrakion now at negative stats. Now Terrakion is forced to switch or die to aqua jet.

Setup sweeper is mostly just preparing to fight him. Generally, you're at an advantage if he's sending Terrakion to fight you and you're prepared for it by having someone like Blaziken or some other super fast, super heavy hitting sweeper out. He'll die in one hit.

Here's a simple list of pokemon you should consider for anti-Terrakion duty:
1. Blaziken
2. Azumarill
3. Scizor
4. Infernape
5. Aegislash
6. Rotom-W
7. Trevenant
8. Gourgeist
9. Conkeldurr
10. Mewtwo

My personal experience with battling Terrakion has been I generally have to sacrifice my current pokemon so that the next one can come in without taking damage.

Only One Legend Rule abider here. At least in Pokemon anyways, cause they're that game changing.
Or i use only legends but that's rarely any fun.

[Neonivek]

huh, no move to make a sandstorm on a Garchomp? Interesting.

[Greiger]

I was going to put this in the happy thread but I felt it was more fitting here.

The poor dragon types...

[Yoink]

Bahahaha, brilliant.

Anyway, I was playing last night connected to the internet, and some guy started a trade with me, seemingly only so he could show off a whole bunch of awesome high-level pokemon that I had never even freakin' seen before, before cancelling the trade. >________>

AZU - MA - RILL

Destroyer - Fuck - Dragons

[Eotyrannus]

Checked the translator...

HAAZ - OO - MAAR - RIIL

Lunch - Oh - Terror - Monster

Huh. That's surprisingly fitting.
