So, best/favorite holy type? I'm still thinking Sacroloon here. Holy cow has a lot of hp and can nuke but Sacroloon is faster and can do more.

For me? No, not really.
Because Family Heart and Gene Emblem do not pass your best stats, only 3 or 4 random stats, so really it's only useful if you've already got something with pretty good stats and want to slightly speed up the process to get something as good or better. I mean, it's better than nothing, but if the music hall really gives you fits, I'd say don't worry about it.

I actually really liked Sanctosole for a holy type. It's got its problems (HP is not too hot, special defense is a bit low, and it takes awhile to get going) but it is surprisingly effective against quite a few things. Probably my favourite overall is Angillish, with Flood, Righteous Rend, Condemn, Restoring Light and Rehydrate, and an Angel Pendant. In a long fight, this thing has crazy-good healing potential.

Thanks Jayde.

Not to mention toxic storm... *shudders*

Is that the only new move it gets? Just Sucker Punch? I mean, it didn't need a ton of upgrades to make it viable, since I think it worked well already, but still.

I'm just starting my ghost run, BTW. Just finished the power plant and the team is all level 22, which is probably overkill (they started this run at 21). Nothing interesting so far.

My dragons are gone. BlindNinja has them all.

Yeah. Power Kick really needs to be 100% accurate, in truth. There aren't many fighting moves that are 100% accurate (Mighty shuriken is neat, and it's special type). Fury Power is great, but it lowers your defenses. Power Punch is decent and all, but only 60 power. I'd say make Power Kick 85 power and 100 accuracy, personally, because having your provided usable STAB miss approximately fifteen percent of the time is simply not acceptable.

It's weak to ice but faster than every ice type except for maybe Arctana, and ice is weak to fighting. Power kick is a strong move, provided it doesn't miss.

Kangachan gets the elemental punches, but because those are not pure fighting moves, they often cause problems for it. Blaze Punch is probably the best of the lot overall, since it utterly murders steel and ice types even more than it would have before. Spark Punch will wreck Arctana, but that's pretty much it; fighting and electric aren't super-compatible types. And then Ice Punch...same deal, really. Ice and fighting aren't super-compatible; many things resistant to one are weak to the other. They're neat ideas and all, but I think pokemon did it right when they made those moves actually match the element they start with (ice punch = ice, spark punch = electric, blaze punch = flame). Oh well.

I think there's an entire postgame guide somewhere. The search feature will certainly point you towards it if you try hard enough.

You mean you didn't see anything about fighting eternity angel, hyper symphonid, barren Byron or Andromeda? Pretty sure you weren't looking too terribly hard in that case, since there's been a ton of talk about it.

Curious though: why are you not interested in catching mythicals? The way you unlock them is actually pretty interesting in this game. I haven't seriously tried any of the three stone mythicals on a team - seriously, getting them in the postgame and being unable to breed them means you really can't play through the game with them, which seriously gets in the way of their usability IMO - but one of them - I misremember which - actually looked pretty neat. I am going to have three gammanets by the end of this run, though, and I'm going to catch each stone mythical until I get decent stats (this will probably take forever and a day) and then actually use life tonics and give them a fair showing, because there is precious little info on them thus far.

I never bothered to get more than one gammanet. I think Aaron has taken a lot of the frustration out of catching the mythicals with the new nets in this game. At least I don't remember having to bring a billion giganets and use paralyze and sleep and just hope for the best like you have to do in the first game.
