Re: Manamon 2: Impressions Thread
Not sure if anyone's picked up on this, but the postgame hyper rematches are repeatable every time you beat the Master Stadium. If you've got 2 or 3 mons that can easily take them down, they're a great way of levelling up anyone else you bring along for the ride. Especially if you have Master Scrolls.
To that effect, I've been playing around with a few mons:
Rythmond gets Combat Sonata and Quicken. Unfortunately, after one Quicken, Sonic Force which it also gets still does significantly more damage. You'd need to set up several Quickens for Sonata to be worthwhile, and even if you could find the time to do that without dying, you could arguably do even better by using Amplify Voice instead to make Sonic Force even stronger. Shame this one doesn't get Attack Concerto; that would work nicely with Re-arm. It's also pretty much sound moves or nothing, since it's not a physical attacker and Mutmo's normal moves won't be doing much. Stats aren't bad though, in particular magic attack is solid, so if you can get a speed and magic attack boost it's going to hurt.
Ghost Leonitar on the other hand has insane coverage. Earthquake, Slash, choice between Spirit Force and Elemental Assault, Boulder Bash, and Chomp. The latter is a bit redundant with Ghost, but for the extra kick one of the ability choices is Strong Jaw. I personally think Fearless is a better choice though. I'll also point out that all of these moves are 100% accurate, or at least I think that's what I saw. You also get Roar and Quicken for stat upping, or Battle Cry for debuffing. Three types means you get same-type bonus on 3 attack types.
Very
Endgame
Spoilers
Storm Jimitron is Flame/Electric, and gets both Torch and Superspark to take advantage of it. Also gets Firestorm for attacking while setting up sun. There's also what is likely an exclusive move, Electric Fire, which as you can probably guess is both Electric and Flame. Only 75 power though, so in almost all cases one of the 90 power moves is probably better. Or do you get twice the same-type bonus if you are both types of the move? I'll have to test that actually. There's also Ash Rain, though unfortunately it seems to lose out on Stun Volt. As a consolation prize it gets Smoke Shield, and Quicken is still there.
Stat-wise it's pretty similar to regular Jimitron, although it's noticeably slower. To put it into perspective, I've maxed out training points in speed and put none into attack, and its attack is slightly higher. That wouldn't be so bad if the best physical attack it got wasn't Bite. Special Attack is top-tier though, at least. And it isn't a complete slowpoke, just not as quick as regular Jimitron.
Ability choice is Sparking Heart or Burning Heart, so basically pick the type you want to be powered up if you get low on health.
