hi.
can anyone tell me how to get the last form of deroink?

Honestly, Jagzem's pretty good for what it does. It's a relatively slow mixed attacker, that won't die *t* quickly, if I remember correctly. It gets Necro Jab, Beyond Bolt and Dessicate Beam along with Oblivion Dance, so from my experience, it hasn't been that bad.
Honestly, Pegastorm has been the dud of my team. It's not bad, but it dies wayy too quickly and doesn't always deal enough damage (though I'm investing in speed mostly, so there's that).

Haven't finish the game, so can't say anything. But I'm playing this for real this time.

If you found the fire area, you run past the fireballs and go east and climb the pole. Then you're in a poison-themed area with acid rain and swampy terrain. At that point all you have to do is find the door. But that's tricky, because the area is mazelike. Tip: you want to try and get sort of toward the southwest, then go south, then double back to the east.

Have we confirmed that it takes 20000 steps to transform walking transformations? Because I did more than that in the past and it didn't work. I feel like it's also a function of levelling and battling and such, not pure step count. Unless that was once the result of a bug and is now fixed.

@Jayde: I tried both Sullorb and Squarpha. From what I remember, Squarpha gets stuff like manatize, energy pulse and hydronova, isn't too squichy and has an ability which can be nice every so often.
Sullorb is indeed not bad, but I'm not sure it gets anything else than Star Fall to use with manatize. It frustrated me enough that I eventually boxed it and replaced it. But I'm pretty sure it's fine enough otherwise to use it until the end.
I already talked about Bombusect, I don't personally see it much as a special attacker even though it's ultimately not that bad at it.
Also I quite liked Rumblebee if I can say so myself. Got a Waspunch with good stat potential over all, maxed out strength and then health as soon as possible, gave it root point and it's not that bad imo. Definitely not perfect, with a rather late sucker punch and I think too many special moves getting in the way. And perhaps it might benefit from something like aerial caper and some coverage against flying type, but I can't find anything realistic so far.
Edit: I saw you talked about Squarpha and I even managed to forget that it gets Flood. Better than Hydronova indeeed.

I see Sullorb as a physical attacker, not a special attacker, honestly. The grand majority of the moves I've seen it use are physical.
Squarpha is definitely gonna be on my next team, whenever and whatever that will be. It sucked in manamon 1 because it relied on Tri Beam and Bubble Burst for damage, and that's it. But with Flood, Energy Pulse and even Hydro Nova, this thing may be worth keeping around. I just can't make up my mind what I want to do. But I'm bored out of my tree, so I've got to do something. lol

I wanted to say that fingon is a non-holy supporter, but I didn't write that, ohhhh.
I can't figure out how to edit posts, I don't know why.

Fingon has one of the screen moves, but it also gets Hone Blade and Aquatic Blitz, so it can turn sweeper in a turn or two. It also has surprisingly good stats, and at least one good ability. The only real downside to Fingon is that it's stuck with almost all water moves. Seriously, watch two Fingon try to kill each other and you will see what I mean. It's got good stats and relatively bad moves, and this is a common issue.

So I took a few manamon from my old manamon 1 save and brought them to the move tutor in Brytanburg for the fun of it. Here's what I found.
Bayowoof does indeed get Chomp, and...that's pretty much it as far as coverage goes. Still, it's got decent stats.
Tigrath gets the ability Skilled Jaw. Its only moves to take advantage of this are Dark Fang and Chomp. We really need elemental bite moves the way we have elemental punches. Also, Hydro Fang needs to be on more than just Submenno and Frenrir.
Wizzell is a bust. Gets Tri-beam as its best attacking move, so you can definitely put this one on the list of support manamon. Other notable moves include Smoke and Mirrors, Mystic Guard, Manatize, Demanatize, Eternal Vortex and Screen Shatter. Ability means it can't be trapped. Uh, no thanks. Needs better move variety and needs healing. It's not as frail as in manamon 1 but still does not do well.
Miterosier now gets both screens, plus Lunar Cannon. So it gets strong holy moves of both physical and special type, and it also gets Libation. This squirrel doesn't know what it wants. Again, most pokemon don't do this; even if they get moves from both sides of the spectrum, they can still have a diverse moveset by sticking to one or the other. Design failure IMO, but hey, at least it has more move variety and better sticking power, so it's not completely busted.
Sponginate apparently learns Miracle Adrenaline, then a really random and pointless Shell Break. Seriously, who is using physical moves on Sponginate that require a 40-power standard-type move that lowers defense to set up? No thanks. Try harder. Also, why did this thing need an evolution? Seriously, why? It was plenty good already, and evolving didn't even really improve it. In fact, I think it actually -loses an ability...so what gives?

Follow walls, Zuckuss. In the watery area, following walls is important. You will find yourself a revival mist if you go down one path, but if you go the other way you'll eventually find a post that will lead you to the fire area, which is thankfully much, much smaller.

Good news is, you're very, very close to the end of the game now. Like, if you find that post to climb, you can be at the master stadium in under fifteen minutes if you can handle one last random-ish challenge. Be ready for webs, counter moves and health regen.

Well, Limtoroom's also got decent attack, gets Solar Conversion, and gets Gammadrain and Takedown, and is fairly bulky. But it does randomly get Manatize. So yeah.
It's the same old song and dance, really. Aaron wants manamon to be represented in large part by their moves. If each manamon had, say, 20-30 moves with varying type coverage it could use, and within that move pool there were multiple good sets that weren't all variations on exactly the same thing, then okay. Great. I'd be fine with that. But what often happens is that a manamon is represented not because it's good, but precisely because it's bad. Instead of me thinking "Ooh, Tigrath learns Chomp and has Skilled Jaw; that's going to hurt", which alone is a good thing, I think, "God, why does it only get two jaw-based moves, one of which is under 60 power?). Instead of thinking "It's cool that the Zimbat line now gets Psychedelic Spell, since it can also confuse with it, which powers it up, and that's a neat gimmick", I find myself asking, "where the hell is its good air coverage? Flying Frenzy doesn't count.". If Aaron wants his manamon to be represented by their move pool, he actually has to make those move pools memorable for good reasons, not bad ones. As I've said before, he's probably the kind of dude who thinks a moveset of Tunnel, Quake, Earthquake, Sandstorm and Rock Barrage is an excellent Alluppig set. Pro-tip: that's god-awful coverage on an earth type. Rock Barrage does help, but three freaking earth moves plus Sandstorm is just screaming redundancy.

This is why I tend to pick manamon of multiple types that can use their stats well. Sullorb gets Spirit Force. Angorge gets Mud Blast and Hydro Nova, both of which can help it deal with one of its weaknesses (electric). Martiagle gets Berserk Branch, which is great against those pesky stone types that might otherwise wall it pretty hard. See, those are great starts, but they're present in less than 30% of manamon, in my experience.

Seriously. Someone help me make up my mind and set me a stiff challenge.

A couple of options I've been thinking about:
1. Pure mono type (i.e., all magic, all standard, etc); for extra difficulty, the team is only four or five manamon
2. A team where each manamon only has one type (so no dual or triple types); same deal, 4-5 manamon
3. All glass cannons (Myaneko, Urainaman, Snowmonno, Ursinearator) which can dish out pain but can't take hits; I'd need to compile a list of bonna fide glass cannons
4. A theme (all the Mutmo transformations? all cats? an entire team weak to one particular type?)
5. A team of manamon that never evolves (again, 4-5 manamon on the team to make it harder)
6. use 4-5 favourites, but no healing items in battle (obviously working on the honour system here)
7. A team of six Artisoul with varying movesets

Instead of oing 5 manamon that don't evolve, why not do 5 manamon that can evolve, but you don't let them, limiting your stats.
