    Also, I'm beginning to suspect that move selection in the Palace is bugged. When my pokemon tries to use a damaging move, it almost always (>90% of the time) uses the first one in the list of damaging moves, rather than pick randomly *or* pick using smart AI. I suspect this is related to the...

    Alright, I think I'm starting to pull a Battle Palace team together, legitimately... I'm back to Shedinja strats, though. Ideally this Suicune would be Hasty, but I wasn't thinking about the Battle Palace when I caught it, so it'll have to just fail to use a move more often than I'd like. My...

    Holy shit, the Battle Palace is just... insane. First try, multiple trainers with what looks like perfect movesets and natures, just absolutely clobbering me. My max winstreak is 3 after several hours of teambuilding and trying new setups.

    Not sure if I'm missing something, but it looks like Lugia and Ho-Oh are in boss mode (can't be caught). Any idea why that might be? I do still have a few outstanding quests, but from what I remember 1.11 didn't have that issue... E: This seems to have been related to the Cyrus quest. Finishing...

    Really starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel here, but I present: 6 new HoF inductees! Crazy team with sand attack/twave Liepard, 3 destiny bond/memento users, trick room + Marowak-A for Agatha, and moody Glalie for the sweeps. The Wallace double battle was a bit rough but we got there...

    No worries, and thank you for the clarity! Are pokemon tradable between 1.11 and 1.13, or are those versions also incompatible in that way?

    Thank you so much!!! This is the best pokemon game I have ever played. And I hope you're feeling better soon, if you aren't already. Sorry to bug you about this again, but is there a chance you could update my save from 1.11b?

    The Desert Underpass is in the usual spot - https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Desert_Underpass (link in case you don't want to spoil yourself). Eternatus is at the very back of the cave.

    Re: your PS, some Mawiles near Fallarbor hold the Iron Ball (you can find them with DexNav), and I believe wild slowpokes can hold a lagging tail. E: I can confirm that the easiest place to get one is with a Lickitung in the grass patch east of Lavaridge on Route 112

    I guess I'll throw my hat in just to affirm, as someone who's taken on everything this hack has to offer - it's definitely a 9/10 in difficulty or so for me. Which I like, but I do think that "6/10" dramatically understates the challenge. Might be different for you @BrandonXL because you have...

    Well if it's write-ups you want, I've got one for you :P This is my strat doc for the boss rush. Team is attached, but in text: And here are the strats per-split: I planned out these strats using save-states due to the lack of trainer data, but these strats are usable enough that I...

    My brother there are like 12 pokemon between route 101 and Rustsurf tunnel that have a type advantage against Roxanne, plus more that have good tools against her. If you are attempting to Nuzlocke this ROM you may be in for a bad time, but if you are playing normally you should not be having...

    It was pretty similar, just with Landorus-T over Blissey and screensaver Grimmsnarl over Toxapex. Wallace was the big obstacle there, too, actually. I ran Spirit Break and Foul Play as Snarl's other two moves, but I'm not certain that's actually optimal. E: Worth noting, this team dies to turn...
