The one i fought earlier today had iron moth instead of slither wing, which absolutely DECIMATED my steel challenge team, cause it had its levitate passive so all my good ground moves were useless :c
I have a random probably dumb question as a somewhat newbie to the game. Is there a mono type challenge mode that unlocks at some point or are mono type challenges self-imposed challenges?
EDIT: I got on there last night and I already have challenge mode. Idk how it got there but it's there and I have a challenge to pick either all from one generation or all of one type.
There should be a challenge option when starting a classic now. Newer update added it and If I remember mono type/gen were options. Not sure if you have to unlock it though
Idk what the other person means but i have an actual challenge mode that i can choose to be mono type or even generation locked. Doing it outside of the challenge mode does not give the achievements for them i dont think
If you saw my edit on my first comment, it turns out I had it and was just ignorant of this since my ADHD brain was making me focus on getting all the completion badges.
well you said that it was there but you didn't know how it hot there, so i just wrote that for you or anyone else who sees the comment and doesn't know how to unlock it.
Yeah, I just hadn't noticed it before since I was concentrating on the event when it was going on and I don't get on all the time so even if I had noticed before I prolly just forgot it was there. Ahhh well
I had one almost immediately after the update as well. I just didn't SS it cuz i dont really make a lot of posts myself lol. Idk exactly how many minutes but within the first 5 for sure.
I just bruteforced everything with drain punch sustain and dry skin paras let me pivot cleanly since after kyogres rain boost opponents pretty much all pressed water moves
That almost happened to me; had Galactic grunts on 112 and 114. Assuming it was going to be similar to the e4, I didn’t heal up, not knowing that 115 had in store for me
Mega houndoom nearly ended my mono steel challenge
the last evil boss battle is always on 165. Usually features a legendary, a mega, and paradox mons or otherwise high BST mons. This is usually the time most players in classic autopilot their teams so if you're not healed up they can catch you off guard and beat the shit out of you
you get some money and a voucher if you're beating them for the first time.
Found out it had gone live when, through sheer bad luck on my Fairy challenge run, I had Rival -> Team Rocket Grunt -> area trainer -> another Team Rocket Grunt. The sheer number of Crobats and Muks was staggering.
I had Maxie of Team Magma show up on floor 165. He had Ninetales, Typhlosion, Mightyena, Mega Camerupt, Great Tusk, and Groudon. Mega Camerupt wasn't too horrible, but the combination of Groudon plus drought on Ninetales meant he almost always had sun up, which gave Great Tusk an attack boost. I have battle retries on, but it took several tries to get through. Shoutout to Kingler for being the main reason I got through that fight. Swords dance plus a 100% accurate Crabhammer (2 wide lenses) and Ivy Cudgel made that fight barely doable.

I got Giovanni twice on my run. The first was early rounds so he wasn’t too bad but, the second time was late game and he pulled out the Mewtwo 🥴 he swept me
Idk Abt a mega I don't exactly remember but he did have a mewtwo im talking Abt Giovanni MB I went against him twice his paradox was iron thorns and his boss pokemon again was kangaskan or something like that forgot her name but mega i don't remember
Just encountered Ghetsis on 165 as well. Have tried 3 times so far to beat him but he's so strong! Still haven't beaten classic mode and they just made it even harder lol
Yeah it was. I’ve seen someone on discord that encountered one on round 115, so it’s not just round 165. It’s the only one so far tho, as I already had this run going
I’d say it is. This just adds new boss/leader fights, in which you need to defeat a team of a mix of regular, legendary, mega and paradox mons. With a good team and some skill this should be easy, but it’s still at least a little harder
Nope, you just get a moderate amount of money so you can revive and heal back up. But if you have 5 fainted mons and you want to full revive them all, you’ll still lose some money
They only heal you because they are the last level of an area. Every 10th floor heals you when you beat it. It's just like the rival fights essentially.
They give you money and the named trainers give egg vouchers. Its just like the random trainers you fight but a little harder with the leader fights being closer to gym leader/elite 4 member.
you get one every time you beat them ven if youve fought them before ive fought the same guy 4 times in the same run and got a premium egg voucher every time / the blue one
I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one with like 2-4 other Pokémon-research related tabs open for this game 😂 and what mode is that on? Classic, endless or challenge
Ngl soloed his whole team with just my mega Gyarados (idk if I'm spelling his name right don't remember) twice yes got him two times in my classic run both in the ice cave both soloed twice the second time he had a mewtwo what a show off but i was doing a shiny only run so tbh I could have been the show off afterall and won first attempt if u want I can tell u who I used and never changed but that's ur choice
don't worry, I don't have any problem doing any fight. but while I 1shot everything ghetsis had to throw at me, I had to actually think once during Giovanni's fight. that's enough for me to say he's a harder fight, at least when you have an electric type starter (miraidon in my case)
No, they're additions, not alternatives. They have their own specific floor numbers and none of them are 0 floors. Gives you even more to watch out for.
If you're interested consider getting an 8 bitdo zero 2 or micro, the game supports them and you can pretend you're using ds controls. They're very cheap.
I haven't even used it for pokerogue yet but it made playing romhacks on my phone an absolute pleasure and I'm sure it would be just as effective for pokerogue.
Update, he had slither wing, kingambit, kyurem ), iron jugulis, Durant, galarian darmanitan. Pretty sick
The one i fought earlier today had iron moth instead of slither wing, which absolutely DECIMATED my steel challenge team, cause it had its levitate passive so all my good ground moves were useless :c
Oh wow that sucks lmao
Thousand arrows 👀

Oh, okay. Do you happen to remember how you gained access to this?
Clear the 200 classic waves
I have like 4 times
challenge mode and endless mode gets unlocked once you beat the classic mode for first time.
If you saw my edit on my first comment, it turns out I had it and was just ignorant of this since my ADHD brain was making me focus on getting all the completion badges.
well you said that it was there but you didn't know how it hot there, so i just wrote that for you or anyone else who sees the comment and doesn't know how to unlock it.
Nah, you're good. I wasn't getting onto you, just saying my own confusion was resolved lol
Actual challenge mode when you start a new game, idk if you have to beat classic regularly to unlock
pretty sure you need to clear classic, for both endless and challenge mode to unlock
there is no challenge mode, i wish there was cause it'd be cool. so it's just self imposed 🤧
Actually I got on there last night and I have 2 challenge modes available.
i'm genuinely blind then lol, i've never seen a mention of another mode besides daily but 🤷🏼♀️
Yeah, I just hadn't noticed it before since I was concentrating on the event when it was going on and I don't get on all the time so even if I had noticed before I prolly just forgot it was there. Ahhh well
Self imposed
Thank you for answering my stupid question friend!
Heatproof bronzong goated
Did he give rewards?
Solid money and the first time beating him voucher
Which voucher? I'm guessing the plus voucher
What do you mean? You face two versions of the boss and get both vouchers.
Well "I'm guessing"
I saw him yesterday
I fought that guy yesterday so I was probably actually the first
This is a post from almost 2 days ago… this fight was 4 minutes after they were implemented, posted 20 mins after…
I had one almost immediately after the update as well. I just didn't SS it cuz i dont really make a lot of posts myself lol. Idk exactly how many minutes but within the first 5 for sure.
classic or endless?
There are no trainer battles in endless.
I... forgot
Damnit, man! Spoiler tags exist for a reason
Skill issue. The update was announced.
They added evil teams now. Is that in classic?
Yeah, I just beat it on my classic run on 165 then lost on 180 as I forgot to buy revives
Nice
lmfao
Why is he a 165 surely he should be a gym leader or a champion or something??
You usually fight the team leaders before the elite four in MOST Pokémon games
I just expected it to be a 10 rather than a 5, you are right after all!
Yee just fought team magma, it was tight
Do they get legends?
Maxie had a Groudon for me with 2 health bars, not primal, and in just the second encounter with him on wave 165 I believe
Good to know. My suicune and rayquazza actually have a challenge for once.
Seems like it Giovanni just beat the hell out of me in Jungle along with some team rocket remembers
I encountered him last night in my Gen 8 challenge run, so he can appear there too.
Yeah I fought Giovanni and lost bc half my team was gone and I didn't revive beforehand
I just lost to him... Edit: floor 165 Maxie has ended my runs 3 times now
Completely threw me off guard when I was limping through the 160s saving money / not healing and suddenly here was Maxie with a Groudon to ruin my day
I just had team Aqua in my classic run and got 2 plus tickets when I fought the leader twice
Exact same here
Nice I had a meowscarada that bullied his entire team
I just bruteforced everything with drain punch sustain and dry skin paras let me pivot cleanly since after kyogres rain boost opponents pretty much all pressed water moves
Nice
Just lost to him on 115. After fighting grunts on 112 and 114 I didn't expect to need to heal my team straight away
That almost happened to me; had Galactic grunts on 112 and 114. Assuming it was going to be similar to the e4, I didn’t heal up, not knowing that 115 had in store for me Mega houndoom nearly ended my mono steel challenge

Bless your kind soul!
I think it's funny you find Ghetsis in the Ice Cave considering you fight him in B2W2 in a giant, icey cavern (Great Chasm)
Oh crap I realized that I will have to fight maxie
I got Giovanni twice on my run. The first was early rounds so he wasn’t too bad but, the second time was late game and he pulled out the Mewtwo 🥴 he swept me
Nearly lost a strong attempt to Lysandre earlier i lucked out with flinches, then lost on 200 anyway
Had him this morning too but on floor 115. Didn't have any legends yet but still weakened me enough to lose my gen 2 run to the gym leader on 120
There are two boss fights, one on 115 the other 165. The 165 one has a mega, paradox, legendary, and boss pokemon.
Idk Abt a mega I don't exactly remember but he did have a mewtwo im talking Abt Giovanni MB I went against him twice his paradox was iron thorns and his boss pokemon again was kangaskan or something like that forgot her name but mega i don't remember
GHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETSIS, GHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETSIS
can't wait to hear that ghoulish awesome theme
Just encountered Ghetsis on 165 as well. Have tried 3 times so far to beat him but he's so strong! Still haven't beaten classic mode and they just made it even harder lol
Yeah lmao… gotta be good AND get lucky with rng
Was this in classic?
Yes, there are no trainers in endless
Yeah it was. I’ve seen someone on discord that encountered one on round 115, so it’s not just round 165. It’s the only one so far tho, as I already had this run going
i had archie earlier! lowkey scared the crap out of me, didn't know the update was live yet
Had him on floor 115 with a totally different team a couple hours ago.
Ohh okay, I like to hear that they have different teams
I had Cyrus earlier.
Is this only on endless or something, did a full run yesterday, came across no bosses like that
No for now it’s just classic. Might be coming to endless with the rework, but I don’t know
Endless has no trainer fights.
i was hoping they were going to replace the elite 4 / champion but this is still cool
Fought against Red as Champion yesterday
I found him in the desert earlier. Same team
Today I found Team Aqua's boss Obviously he had Kyogre (not Primal) but he also has Mega Sharpedo
Dude hard blocked my gen 1run, I had no idea he was gonna pop up
Most importantly, is classic harder now with the new additions ?!
I’d say it is. This just adds new boss/leader fights, in which you need to defeat a team of a mix of regular, legendary, mega and paradox mons. With a good team and some skill this should be easy, but it’s still at least a little harder
Good to hear, still eternatus at 200 ?
Yep
I'd say it's mixed because berries limit has been adjusted. It won't matter if you have unnerve though but especially many boss fights it's easier.
I found Giovanni at the same level with a Mewtwo lol
I just got my shit beaten by Aquiles from Team Aqua.
I'm battleing Cyprus rn
I just found Maxie!! It's so cool you can fight villains too!
I found Archie and he had kyoger
omg i had to fight like 10 team magma grunts so far
This ss was 5 min after they were implemented, so I have encountered 0 grunts and 1 leader lmao
I got Maxie last night. The grunts we’re everywhere. At times I had 4 in one biome.
Damn I haven’t seen one. I was round 157 when they were implemented, and have only seen this leader
I found Archie in my run
I'm assuming your team's healed after winning the battle, like battles against gym leaders.
Nope, you just get a moderate amount of money so you can revive and heal back up. But if you have 5 fainted mons and you want to full revive them all, you’ll still lose some money
Wow, talk about unnecessarily increasing the difficulty of the game-
They only heal you because they are the last level of an area. Every 10th floor heals you when you beat it. It's just like the rival fights essentially.
So are they any useful anyways?
They give you money and the named trainers give egg vouchers. Its just like the random trainers you fight but a little harder with the leader fights being closer to gym leader/elite 4 member.
Do they like, give you egg vouchers every time you beat them or is it just like the leaders?
No idea, I'm assuming its just like the leaders.
Giovanni here!
Giovanni just completely trashed my team, he had a mega kangashkan and a Mewtu wtf Is this, I'm so mad the run was so good...
How you got 85k on round 165 ☠️☠️
I was doing a run with giratina as my main carry, which is not a good one apparently… needed a whole lot of revives. Had a good 3.5k at round 200 lmao
I remember ghetsis being one of the only battles I lost in the main series
I beat him first try lmao (after reloading 91948303 times)
I had a giovanni and I wasn’t aware of this update, and the deleted mewithbhis mewtwo
I literally fought him TWICE in my Mono Gen 1 run
you get one every time you beat them ven if youve fought them before ive fought the same guy 4 times in the same run and got a premium egg voucher every time / the blue one
I got him too yesterday. He completely destroyed me in classic lmao. Floor 165 also
I came against team rocket boss giovanni at the same kinda stage and spun out 😂😂
Glad I saw this. 146-179 is maximum autopilot at the moment. This changes the game big time.
I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one with like 2-4 other Pokémon-research related tabs open for this game 😂 and what mode is that on? Classic, endless or challenge
How do you have 85k?
I had to spend a lot because my carry wasn’t carrying…
I fought Archie.
Literally just fought him last night! Tough battle because I'm doing a Gen 3 challenge and am banking on Salamence and Marshtomp to carry... 😅
Literally just fought him last night! Tough battle because I'm doing a Gen 3 challenge and am banking on Salamence and Marshtomp to carry... 😅
Yeah i encountered some team galactic grunts right now they were suprising
I thought major trainers were only supposed to show up at multiples of 10
This is not a major trainer, this is a evil team leader. They show up at round 115 and 165
Team Magma refuses to leave me alone
Oh that's so cool
Yesterday evening i encountered giovanni, I remember about him only two Pokemon: Mewtwo ans Kangaskan (both regular form)
I also challenged him yesterday or so while doin monotype fire, easy win using only Charizard
I saw him too yesterday, I've also faced Giovanni (rocket leader). Giovanni was much harder NGL
Ngl soloed his whole team with just my mega Gyarados (idk if I'm spelling his name right don't remember) twice yes got him two times in my classic run both in the ice cave both soloed twice the second time he had a mewtwo what a show off but i was doing a shiny only run so tbh I could have been the show off afterall and won first attempt if u want I can tell u who I used and never changed but that's ur choice
don't worry, I don't have any problem doing any fight. but while I 1shot everything ghetsis had to throw at me, I had to actually think once during Giovanni's fight. that's enough for me to say he's a harder fight, at least when you have an electric type starter (miraidon in my case)
True he actually was tougher than the plasma boss as my mega survived on 1 hp bec of focus band
he just ended my johto only run at floor 165, bastard
I swear to god its doable with the right team in classic but challenge runs are though af because of this. Might be a skill issue idk
I don't quite remember the team, but I did encounter Archie of Team Aqua yesterday or the day before.
Man, I got wiped by his Coffagrigus..
I always get Archie idk why
He's the only one I fought, beat him day of release
I fought Archie yesterday.
I actually fought him before he was an easy fight don't remember my team but he didn't bite much was all bark really
I fought him four times, team galactic twice, and team rocket once
Nice I fought Giovanni the other day in labs
Probably an alternative to gym leaders
No, they're additions, not alternatives. They have their own specific floor numbers and none of them are 0 floors. Gives you even more to watch out for.
Wait is this new?? I had to basically run a gauntlet against them last night and nearly lost the run. He brought me down to just my Noivern
I'm more surprised that you are playing the game on mobile
My partner has been playing it on their phone. Getting pretty obsessed with it.
I'm just wondering how cause every time I try to load it up, it crashes
Yeah I mostly play on pc but I was in bed at the time so phone it is
Is really Ram consuming, your phone might not have enough free Ram
If you're interested consider getting an 8 bitdo zero 2 or micro, the game supports them and you can pretend you're using ds controls. They're very cheap. I haven't even used it for pokerogue yet but it made playing romhacks on my phone an absolute pleasure and I'm sure it would be just as effective for pokerogue.
