so its time for the next part of my XD gale of darkness type guide, today's topic is the ice type


so this id going to be different from the bug guide I did last time in 2 ways

  1. there are only 6 ice types in the main game (there is an articuno but it can only be used in the postgame so therefore it doesn't count)

  2. this run requires the use of a special rule that I came up with. what I call the "future type rule".

    this rule states that if a pokemon gets type through some other means in the future (like regional variant or mega evolution) then they count as a placeholder until it can be replaced by a real pokemon of that type. for example vuplix can count as an ice type until you get a full team of ice types, in which case it will be replaced.

so now lets get into the actual guide.

the first ice type in the game is a shadow spheal outside of the ciphir lab, this will be your first team member

after beating the ciphir lab you get access to poke spots and wild pokemon, in the desert poke spot the common encounter is a sandshrew, this will be your first placeholder

soon after you will go into the radio tower where you can catch a shadow vulpix, this will be your second placeholder

you are going to hold onto these three until you reach phenac city, here you will get three ice types, a shadow snorunt,a shadow swinub,and a shadow seel, these will be the next members of your team

after awhile you will enter the key lair where you will find a shadow shellder, you will need to add this to your team, however you will need to take of sandshrew (most likely a sandslash by now) or vulpix (most likely a ninetails by now)

this will be your team for a long time until the very last battle before the final boss

(one little thing to mention just before fighting the person I'm about to talk about you can catch a shdow mr mime so you can switch out your placeholder pokemon if you want)

in the last battle before the final boss you can catch a shadow lapras, take off your placeholder and your final team will be

dewgong

lapras

cloyster

walrein

piloswine

and glalie

(and you can use the articuno in the postgame if you want)

I missed this weapon in the original scout post so here is its own video. The deadly twins

Lucky for me no one comments on my posts anyway so I'm pretty much immune to posts like these

So I'm a big fan of pokemonXD in fact I'm going to beat the game 17 times each with a different monotype team. I've played this game so much that I can tell you what the best and worst choices are, and so I made a tier list ranking them from worst to best

So in my original spy post (link here https://gamejolt.com/p/alright-time-for-the-next-part-if-my-nerf…) I mentioned that I made a specific video for the loose launcher and here it is. Let me know if you want one for LA roulette
