Starting (yet) again...

[xkittenishx]

I'm having a really hard time beating Skyla... even with a tynamo. O________O my current team has too many holes in it. This is what I have so far...

♥ Mina the tynamo lvl 27 naive nature
♥ Abilene the servine lvl 30 sassy nature
♥ Samara the watchog lvl 30 relaxed nature
♥ Nero the scraggy lvl 32 relaxed nature
♥ Teal the ducklett lvl 29 careful nature
♥ Ling the litwick lvl 30 calm nature

Now, at the risk of sounding like a n00b, am I supposed to get a specific nature? I personally like the naughty, sassy or bold natures... but if there is a nature that is beneficial to the pokemon let me know.

Just letting you know, I'm starting with a snivy again. :)

Tynamo needs more levels, I suggest pitting her against wild Audino on route 7. As for natures, an easy way to tell good vs bad is by looking at the stats. A stat name in blue font means decreased, and in red font means increased. If the stat you want most is increased, that's a good nature.

I could train her. :) Thanks :)

[sarajayechan]

:D Anytime. Yeah, Tynamo needs to be babied a lot until it evolves into Eelectrik and then Eelektross, but it's well worth it.

[xkittenishx]

:D I will train her hard.

For in game stuff, specific natures don't make much difference (nor do IVs, fyi). They're far more important in things like the Battle Frontier or competitive play.

I would suggest, however, picking up a Blitzle/Zebstrika or Emolga so as to take out Skyla's weakness. Roggenrola's line is also helpful here. :B

EDIT: Damn, how'd I miss the Tynamo? |D;; But yeah, if you need a second option just in case, the Roggenrola line's nice and Audino hunting for grinding helps out big time.

[xkittenishx]

Plus, if I get a Roggenrola I can trade it for an Emolga later. :)

[xkittenishx]

I heard that Tynamo is rare.. so I'll grind it out. :D

[xkittenishx]

Also.. I think I will catch a Boldore.. but where????

[soc_puppet]

Looks like Chargestone Cave or Mistralton Cave are your closest options for Boldore (though the latter is only accessible by Surf - I don't remember if the game gives you that HM by this gym or not). IIRC, you can't get to Twist Mountain until you beat Skyla, which is the next place along your route to get a Boldore.

[xkittenishx]

Are they rare in Chargestone?

[soc_puppet]

They're more common than Tynamo but less common than everything else. They're the most common [Pokémon] in Mistralton Cave, though.

[xkittenishx]

I know.. I was lucky to get a girl Tynamo. :D

[xkittenishx]

Thank you all who helped me. I just beat Skyla! :)

[xkittenishx]

Aand I have an emolga too. ^__^
