Pokemon Reborn Guide [2.0] (2024)

So there are some more things for you to do in Beryl before you head to the Lapis Ward.

In the Beryl Mansion, the place where you can find the dead police officer, A Gothitelle will appear, and ask you to clean the place up.

Basically just run around and spam the "c" button. When the whole place is spotless, Gothitelle will give you a soul candle. You can also take one of the Gothita with you.

Gothita level 25 / embargo, feint attack, psyshock, EGG MOVE

egg moves: mirror coat, ?

Recieving the Soul Candle will activate another event in Beryl. If you go to the graveyard at night, check a pumpkin and a pumpkaboo will appear. The candle is one-time use.

If you saved all the policemen and you stop at the Police Station, you can get a growlithe if you talk to the mustache guy.

Growlithe level 20 / odor sleuth, helping hand, flame wheel, reversal

If you talk to a couple more police officers, you can trade a growlithe egg for a random egg. (?)

So, anyways, on to Lapis!

So, as previously stated, the Lapis Ward is directly above Opal Bridge. (this way)

When you first head up there you'll immediately notice a large crowd gathered around some wreckage.

To the far right, you can find an ability capsule in this rock:

North, you'll find an alleyway. This is the Team Magma hideout.

In Reborn you have the choice between "Magma and Aqua Gangs". They're not the actual evil teams, but a two rival gangs that follow their main principles. The gang that you choose will affect the pokemon you can get later on.

If you join Magma, you'll receive a Buizel, and eventually a Houndour.

If you join Aqua, you'll receive a Ponyta, and eventually a Carvahna.

In this alley, the Magma one, you can find:

If you continue left down that street, you'll find two houses with very informational men giving you the rundown of the Reborn region.

There's also a nightclub. At night, you can find this guy hanging around.

He'll introduce himself as Arc'. He tells you that you need to be an Ace Member to get in. The only way you'll be considered to be an Ace Member is if you beat the Reborn League, so there's not much for you to do here now.

This house holds the Move Deleter.

The man in this house will trade you "one of his prized pokemon" (I don't actually know what this is, help a girl out?) for a sunkern.

So anyways, there's nothing to do at the Grand Staircase itself, so it seems that you'll have to enter the actual Lapis Ward itself, up this stairway.

The Lapis Ward

The Lapis Ward is the richest in the Reborn Region, yet for some reason has the most gang activity.

In this house you can buy a bike for $100,000,000. Considering that you can eventually access a free bicycle... I wouldn't recommend this purchase...

There's not much else you can do before talking to the girl with the crazy hair outside the large, prisonlike building.

You won't learn her name; she'll just announce that it's someone;s birthday and they can "escape." She notices your presence and leaves quickly. The building she was standing in front of will be locked.

This alleyway contains the Team Aqua Secret Base. Remember to choose what team you wish to affiliate yourself with carefully as you can't change your selection once its been made.

The Aqua Alleyway contains:

If you fish, you can catch:

Old Rod:

Good Rod:

Also, you can find Murkrow on windy nights.

Murkrowlevel 25 / assurance, night shade, wing attack, EGG MOVE

egg moves: perish song, brave bird, roost

If you head north from there, people will start warning you about what lies ahead.

If you're like me, and you want to put it off as long as possible, you can visit the Sweet Scent Flower Shop.

There you can get a Wailmer Pail, as well as buy some flower-y items. I highly recommend you buy the Floral Charm, as it will help you in an event later on in the game. You can find Budew's trainer as well, as she'll tell you to keep the pokemon (as you probably already did).

There's also another puzzle for you to complete. When you complete it, you'll get a Spritzee. Here is the solution:

Spritzee level 15 / round, fairy wind, fake tears, play nice

Like the swirlix event, you can play this game as many times as you'd like.

If you talk to the leader of you respective Aqua/Magma gang, they'll tell you that they're planning something tonight, and to meet them at 4th and Hydrangea. You can find them, at night, in this house:

Talk to your leader, and he'll tell you that the opposite gang is trying to steal a pokemon from Mrs. Craudburry. You're supposed to interfere, and steal the pokemon yourself.

Mrs. Craudburry lives in this house:

Heading in, you'll have to battle your way through some Grunts form the opposite gang to reach the back of the house. You can find a water or fire stone on a desk next to the pokemon you're supposed to steal. If you feel bad about this, listen to me. Mrs. Craudburry is not as innocent an old lady as she might seem. She doesn't deserve this pokemon, and you'll learn about it later in the game.

If you joined Magma: Buizel level 25 / water gun, pursuit, swift, aqua jet

If you joined Aqua: Ponyta level 25 / fire spin, flame charge, stomp, flame wheel

The gangs will leave. If you visit yours, they'll tell you to keep the pokemon.

In the morning, Craudburry will be talking to a police officer. She'll accuse you of the crime you committed, but the officer won't believe her, as you're the one who saved his life. When you leave, he'll give you a bike voucher. You can now get a bike at the bike shop.

So that's all that you can do at the moment. All you have left is to face the carnage. Walking up to it you'll find Victoria, and a purple-haired girl inspected the scene. Talk to the latter, and her name will be revealed as Shelly, the gym leader of the Lapis Ward. [you might have met her earlier in the Kricketot event in Peridot] She has a bit of a mental breakdown, and Victoria is left to comfort her. It seems that Shelly knew Heather's father. You'll see Team Meteor appear at the top of a building and confirm the death of a member of their cult. They reveal that it was, in fact, Team Meteor that blew up the Grand Stairway in attempt to find something underneath it. Victoria'll notice a shadowy figure. Shelly identifies him as Shade. The apparition takes away the body before he disappears. Victoria will lead Shelly inside.

So if you head inside the gym, you'll find that you need to head up a stairwell to reach Shelly and Victoria. Go up and talk to Victoria. She'll declare that she wants to find what's up with the whole Team Meteor under the Grand Stairway thing, so she asks you to join her down there.

I recommend that you stock up on Repels before you head over there if you're like me, and you get annoyed easily at excessive amounts of wild encounters.

So, at the Grand Staircase there will now be a ladder for you to descend.

The moment you get down there, you'll find Victoria being haggled by some Meteor Grunts, specifically your friends Aster and Eclipse from the abandoned factory back in Peridot. They kidnap Victoria, and it seems that you are expected to be her white knight [or dame, or valiant unisex savior].

So in this cavern, you can catch numerous wild pokemon.

B1F:

B2F:

B3F:

So anyways, head down the first ladder you see. After you descend that, you'll find yourself in a large, cavernous room. It's a one way road for you, since most directions are blocked off by rocks [you can access these areas when you get Rock Smash]. Head south.

So now you'll be in another large, Meteor Falls-esque room. You can continue by hopping down ledges. There are four routes for you to take.

If you take the far left route, you can head up a ladder. This is pretty useless, as it will only take you up to where you started.

The second to left route will twist left, and let you go up a divided staircase.

Over here you can find TM63 Embargo.

If you talk to this guy, you can get TM94 Rock Smash. Unfortunately, you cannot use it until you obtain the Lapis Gym Badge.

The far right route will lead you on another winding upwards route.

You can find a Focus Sash on this rock.

You can find another Ability Capsule here.

At the end of the route you'll find yourself back where you started.

So, as you've probably guessed by now, the correct route for you to take is the second to right path. Heading down the ladder, you'll find yourself on a long staircase [so many staircases in this part of the game...]. Descend it, and heal your pokemon with a Light Shard, if you wish.

You'll find a dark haired man standing in front of a dull gray door, the same man you met in the abandoned factory way back in Peridot. He tells you that behind the gate is "the very core of the Reborn Region," which he simply explains as some vast power. He further explains that Reborn was built on four key powers:

Ruby, the seal of pain

Sapphire, the seal of love

Emerald, the seal of faith

Amethyst, the seal of beyond

These four overarching themes of pain, faith, love, and beyond will come up again and again throughout the storyline. You've already learned a little about Ruby, remember that Ruby Ring of Corey's? The seal of pain...

He goes on to say that each one is a key that unlocks Reborn's true power. It seems that this man's goal is to get rid of Reborn City by restoring it to its previous form. He tells you that he'll let your friend go free. He leaves.

Prepare for a double battle, with Victoria instead of Fern this time, against Aster and Eclipse.

You'll be battling on a Cave Field. It's effects are here.

Team Meteor Grunts Aster and Eclipse

Lunatone level 30 / psywave, rock slide(+), embargo, cosmic power

Solrock level 30 / psywave, rock slide(+), embargo, cosmic power

Electabuzz level 32 / low kick, light screen, thunderpunch, thunder wave

Magmar level 32 / flame burst, confuse ray, fire punch, feint attack

After you defeat them, they'll leave. Victoria will thank you and head back to Lapis to check on Shelly. Go back there.

Victoria will tell you that Shelly still isn't doing so hot. She suggests that she see a psychiatrist, and asks you to go check out Dr. Connal from the psychiatric facility close to the gym. It turns out that this facility was the large building where we saw the mysterious girl earlier. When you try to enter, you'll run into a pink haired girl exiting the building. She mumbles something about finally getting out of there before she leaves.

Well that's promising. Go ahead and enter the prisonlike place.

You'll be instantaneously greeted by a dark haired girl. She'll tell you that the girl that just left the facility is named Laura. The little girl then says that you're "glowing." Her name is revealed as Anna. Note: Anna will have a lot of weird hallucinations about people, however they're usually, metaphorically at least, spot on.

She'll introduce you to her friends: Her Jirachi doll, Nostra; her twin brother, Noel; Noel's Cleffa doll, Nomos; and another crazy pink haired girl, Charlotte. Apparently, Laura is Charlotte's sister, and a member of the Elite Four. Charlotte and Noel are also gym leaders.

It turns out that this place is more of an orphanage than a psychiatric facility. The kids are being forced to remain there until they turn eighteen. (Though, seriously, wouldn't they usually make an exception for such high ranking members of the Reborn League...?)

They suffer under the reign of Doctor Connal, who apparently uses his electric pokemon for some unfounded electric shock therapy.

Anna tells you that you definitely should not bring someone who need therapeutic help here, as it will only make them worse. Enter Doctor Connal.

The kids cover for you by saying that you're here to battle them for the Reborn League. You'll have to battle an orderly before you can leave. After you defeat him, Dr. Connal says that you're not permitted to battle the kids. Anna basically shoves you out the door. Before you leave, she asks you to tell your friend [shelly] "to look out for the one who's really hurt by this," aka Heather.

So, when you return to the gym, deliver the message to Shelly. Shelly arouses from her funk almost instantaneously, and says that she'll let you two battle her before she goes out to look for Heather. Victoria doesn't want you to battle her, so she'll try to stop you with a battle.

Apprentice Victoria

Scraggy level 30 / payback, hi jump kick, brick break, chip away

Kirlia level 31 / double team, psychic, draining kiss, magical leaf

Hariyamalevel 32 / belly drum, knock off, smelling salts, vital throw

Pignite level 34 / heat crash, rollout, take down, smog

After you defeat her, she'll allow you to enter the gym. She asks you to win, but be gentle.

Actual Gym 3: Shelly

This gym's puzzle is actual hell. You can try to figure it out on your own, but I usually use this fantastic video.

Shelly specializes in bug type pokemon, and battles on a Forest field, the same one you had against PULSE!Tangrowth. Its effects are here. A ton of her pokemon have huge power dups because of this field, so I'd highly recommend trying to break it. A pokemon with flame burst would be optimal.

NOTE: this gym is a double battle.

If you need to grind, I'd recommend beneath the Grand Stairway, or the alleyways, if you want.

A flying type with air cutter will destroy her.

So her Yanmega is pretty obnoxious. You can't battle it with a flying or fire type because it knows ancient power, and it has speed boost. Get rid of that thing ASAP. It might be a good idea to try and paralyze it.

Also watch out if you're planning on beating her with a fire type, she has countless counters to them.

Bookworm Shelly

Illumise level 31 / confuse ray, struggle bug(+), dazzling gleam, rain dance

Masquerain level 32 / energy ball(+), struggle bug(+), bubblebeam, icy wind

Anorith level 32 / rock slide, aqua jet, bug bite(+), bubblebeam

Yanmega "Heather"level 33 / ancientpower, giga drain(+), struggle bug(+), pursuit

Wormadam (trash cloak) level 33 / struggle bug(+), psybeam, giga drain(+), growth(+)

Volbeat "Bugsy"level 35 / struggle bug(+), tail glow(+), moonlight, zen headbutt

After you defeat her, you recieve the Cocoon badge, so pokemon up to level 40 will obey you now, and you can use rock smash outside of battle. She'll also give you TM76 Struggle Bug.
