I dont think camerupt can learn stone edge, solar beam Hi., Yes. Camerupt and camerupt (Mega) cant learn stone edge and solar beam. But Camerupt (Mega) will come with those attack by default. Try Evolving Camerupt to Camerupt (Mega). You'll get Eruption, Earthquake, Stone Edge and Solar Beam by default. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 On 1/7/2022 at 11:45 AM, Alpha37 said: Hai. My IGN is YaziR. This is my second guide for the community. Check my Exp Rounding Tool in this post. I've been browsing through the topics in the forum lately and found that there are many posts created by the new players asking for best team/best side quest team/best pokemon for sidequests etc. So I've decided to help them out by creating a post that can help the new players to understand the sidequest and what they need to crack those 2121 battles. So please take your time to read this post. Note: This is based on my personal experience. There is no valid/absolute answer for the question "What is best?". The answer to this question is subjective (varies from time to time and people to people) What is best for you might be trash for others and vice versa. So please take this post with an open mind. If this post helps you, please click thanks or upvote it. Sidequest (SQs) is one of the most time consuming but very fun parts of the game. You can complete 100% of SQs in 2 to 3 days or even 2 to 3 months based on your mood and interest. I myself have completed the sidequest 14 - 16 times. Most of my battle counts come from doing SQs. Let's cut to the chase. You need a solid team of 6 pokemon to battle all SQs teams. Please note that you will also encounter pokemon with 120/150 levels. So you need a balanced team. Please keep in mind a few things before framing your own team. 1. Select Dark variant of pokemon (Not dark type pokemon like Absol, Darkrai). We have 6 variants of pokemon - Normal, Dark, Mystic, Metallic, Shadow and Shiny. Select Dark variant since it will do 25% more damage to the opponent. So you can Knockout the opponent pokemon in one hit (OHKO) with a proper attack. 2. Build a balanced team. Most of the sidequest teams include different types of pokemon in them. So you need to build your team in a way that it can withstand almost all types of attacks and at the same time it should do some serious damage to the opponent. Choose pokemon which has a dual-type so that you can cover almost 12 types in your team. 3. Use Dark variant pokemon which has attacks whose attack strength is greater than 130. Normally any attack with strength 130 coupled with a dark variant will do the damage of 406 HP. For example, take Dark Sableye with attack Fling. This attack will do 406 HP damage for all types of pokemon except Fighting, Dark, Fairy types. It is also STAB attack which stands for Same Type Attack Bonus. (Fling is a dark type move. Sablye is a Dark/Ghost type pokemon) With these three major points, I'll give you three teams that I used to crack my SQs runs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Team 01: Easy to Obtain/Beginner - Without Legendary Pokemon Dark/Ghost: Fling - Primary STAB, Metal Brust - For Fairy Type, Dream Eater - For Fighting, Dazzling Gleam - For Dark Type. or Steel/Electric: Gyro Ball - Primary STAB, Electro Ball - Primary STAB, Any two attacks (Doesn't really matter). Ground/Fire: Eruption - Primary STAB, Earthquake - Primary STAB, Stone Edge - For Flying, Solar Beam - For Ground/Water. Normal/Fighting: Flail - Primary STAB, Focus Punch - Primary STAB, Fling - For Ghost Type, Solar Beam - For Water/Ground Type. Rock/Ground: Rock Wrecker - Primary STAB, Earthquake - Primary STAB, Ice Beam - For Dragon/Grass Type, Reversal - For Steel/Normal Type. Fire/Dragon: Shell Trap - Primary STAB, Draco Meteor - Primary STAB, Solar Beam - For Water/Ground/Rock Type, Flail - Just in case. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Team 02: Easy to Obtain/Beginner - With Legendary Pokemon or Dark/Ghost: Fling - Primary STAB, Metal Brust - For Fairy Type, Dream Eater - For Fighting, Dazzling Gleam - For Dark Type. Steel/Dragon: Gyro Ball - Primary STAB, Draco Meteor - Primary Stab, Solar Beam - For Water/Ground Type, Stomping Tantrum - For Steel Type. Ground/Fire: Eruption - Primary STAB, Earthquake - Primary STAB, Stone Edge - For Flying, Solar Beam - For Ground/Water. Normal/Fighting: Flail - Primary STAB, Focus Punch - Primary STAB, Fling - For Ghost Type, Solar Beam - For Water/Ground Type. Rock/Ground: Rock Wrecker - Primary STAB, Earthquake - Primary STAB, Ice Beam - For Dragon/Grass Type, Reversal - For Steel/Normal Type. Fire/Dragon: V Create - Primary STAB, Draco Meteor - Primary STAB, Gyro Ball - For Fairy/Ice/Poison Type, Freeze Shock - Just in case. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Team 03: Cool Looking/Advanced Dark/Ghost: Fling - Primay STAB, Metal Brust - For Fairy Type, Dream Eater - For Fighting, Dazzling Gleam - For Dark Type. Psychic/Steel: Prismatic Laser - Primary STAB, Gyro Ball - Primary STAB, Earthquake - For Steel Type, Solar Beam - For Water/Ground. Normal/Fighting: Last Resort - Primary STAB, Focus Punch - Primary STAB, Fling - For Ghost Type, Outrage - For Dragon Type Pokemon. or Steel/Fairy: Gyro Ball - Primary STAB, Fleur Cannon - Primary STAB, Solar Beam - For Ground/Water, Hidden Power (Ground) - For Steel Type. Fire/Ground: Eruption - Primary STAB, Earthquake - Primary STAB, Stone Edge - For Flying, Hyper Beam - In Case of Emergency. V-Create - Primary STAB, Eruption - Primary STAB, Draco Meteor - Primary STAB, Gyro Ball - Just in case. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please understand that this is only an initial guide based on my experience with SQs. These teams work very well for me. 95% of the time I've only used the first 3 pokemon to complete the battle. Very rarely do I use more than three pokemon. FAQs 1. I love Darkrown. Can I use it instead of Sableye? Ans: Yes you can. However, I prefer Sableye rather than Darkrown since Sableye has Metal Brust - A steel type move that will do OHKO any fairy type. 2. How much exp I will gain for completing one full SQ run? Ans: Approx 2-4 mil exp for the first pokemon, 1-2 for the second pokemon. 3. How much PDS I will gain for completing one full SQ run? Ans: Once you complete one region, you'll get reward money (around 1.3 - 1.5 mil PDS). There are 13 regions. So after completing 13 regions you may get 17 - 20 mil PDS as reward money and 2 - 3 mil as a battle reward (Approx 1000 PDS/battle). Totally you will get 20 - 22 mil PDS. 4. What else I will get for completing one full SQ run? Ans: You will get some exciting rewards such as Fossils/Orbs/Beast Balls etc. I'll post the list of rewards that actually matter, below. Apart from this, there are also other common rewards. You can get the details of all rewards from this post. 5. What attacks have 130+ attack strength? Ans: Attack Name Type Power Accuracy Fling Dark 130 100% Naughty List Dark 130 100% Eternabeam Dragon 160 90% Roar of Time Dragon 150 90% Draco Meteor Dragon 130 90% Bolt Strike Electric 130 85% Light of Ruin Fairy 140 90% Fleur Cannon Fairy 130 90% Focus Punch Fighting 150 100% Meteor Assault Fighting 150 100% Final Gambit Fighting 140 100% High Jump Kick Fighting 130 90% V-create Fire 180 95% Eruption Fire 150 100% Mind Blown Fire 150 100% Shell Trap Fire 150 100% Blast Burn Fire 150 90% Burn Up Fire 130 100% Overheat Fire 130 90% Blue Flare Fire 130 85% Sky Attack Flying 140 90% Frenzy Plant Grass 150 90% Leaf Storm Grass 130 100% Pumpkin Smash Grass 130 100% Freeze Shock Ice 140 90% Ice Burn Ice 140 90% Flail Normal 150 100% Giga Impact Normal 150 90% Hyper Beam Normal 150 90% Boom Burst Normal 140 100% Last Resort Normal 140 100% Prismatic Laser Psychic 160 100% Psycho Boost Psychic 140 90% Rock Wrecker Rock 150 90% Head Smash Rock 150 80% Gyro Ball Steel 150 100% Doom Desire Steel 140 100% Steel Beam Steel 140 95% Steel Roller Steel 130 100% Water Spout Water 150 100% Hydro Cannon Water 150 90% Check whether your favourite pokemon has one of these attacks. You can use this page to check the attacks for each pokemon. 6. I'm a beginer and I dont have pds (pokemon dollars) to change attacks. What to do? Ans: The best way to earn pds for the beginer is by training immunes. Follow the steps. a) Catch a level 6 immune pokemon (ground type, dark type, flying type, fairy type, normal type, ghost type, steel type) b) battle appropriate training account for the type using the level 6 pokemon you caught. For every battle you might get 25,000 pds - 275,000 pds (50,000 pds - 75,000 pds is common). So If you catch 10 pokemons and battle with the appropriate training accounts you might earn around 500,000 pds to 750,000 pds. You can find the training account for the every type in this post.
