Pokerogue Lineup Selection Ideas
Lineup selection ideas
Starting selection:
For the main output, it is best to have or be able to learn group skills, because there are endless training methods, we will only have one big brother, and having group skills can provide us with considerable help when encountering doubles, reducing the possibility of accidents.
Doi Ninja, although you can indeed encounter Ghost Cicada in the wild, I only encountered it once in the wild after two endless processes, and the encounter rate is extremely low, so it is better to bring it with you at the beginning. After evolving into Ghost Cicada, you can use Desire or Thief to help us accumulate props for development in the early stage, and you can bring auxiliary skills to attack BOSS in the later stage. If you have Flash, it can also provide twice the luck value after evolution. It can be said to be a very cost-effective choice. Remember to leave an empty space in the backpack when evolving.
(Optional) First-hand counterattack/solidity, in the middle and late stages, due to the stacking of tokens, any output skill of the opponent can kill our Pokérouge in seconds. When encountering Pokérouge with first-hand skills such as surprise attack and head-on attack, it will greatly hinder the smoothness of our advancement, so we can fuse a Pokérouge with the first-hand counterattack feature for the main force, without worrying about the impact of the strength after fusion. As long as we have a clear idea and achieve level suppression, whether we can kill the opponent in seconds depends only on the number of layers or the number of damage reduction tokens. In addition, the official removed the freezing and sleeping tokens in the latest update. Now the solid feature can also be fused without much impact when the last shot is made. We can basically meet Pokérouge with these characteristics, so this item is optional. If the cost is enough and for stability, you can bring it.
Pokérouge with first-hand counterattack: Tapu Butterfly, Love Butler (Spirit Maker); Sweet Cold Queen (Queen’s Majesty); Qilin (Tail Armor); Gnawing Colorful Skin Fish (Bright Body)
Infinity has a basic cost of 15 points. Without considering the cost reduction, our cost should be less than 5 points at this time. The remaining cost can be brought with Shiny and Viral Pokérouge according to our own preferences to improve our initial luck and experience acquisition. Of course, if there is a pick-up pet to obtain some tree fruit resources in the early stage, it is also very good.
Building a strong lineup is key to progressing in Pokerogue. Here are some ideas and strategies for selecting your team members, whether you’re a beginner or looking to optimize your runs.
Core Team Building Principles
- Balance offense and defense – include both sweepers and tanks.
- Diversify types to cover weaknesses and threats.
- Prioritize Pokémon with strong abilities or utility moves (e.g., Intimidate, Pickup, status moves).
- Consider synergy: weather teams, Trick Room, terrain, or status spreaders can be powerful.
- Don’t neglect support: healing, screens, or setup moves can save runs.
Recommended Pokémon Roles
- Physical Attacker: Annihilape, Garchomp, Scizor
- Special Attacker: Gardevoir, Hydreigon, Jolteon
- Tank/Wall: Blissey, Toxapex, Ferrothorn
- Utility/Support: Grimmsnarl, Clefable, Meowstic
- Setup Sweeper: Dragonite, Volcarona, Azumarill
- Pickup Farmer: Meowth, Linoone, Pachirisu
Early Game Lineup Tips
- Capture Zigzagoon or Meowth for early Pickup benefits.
- Include at least one Pokémon with a status move (Thunder Wave, Sleep Powder).
- Look for Pokémon with Intimidate or Sturdy to handle tough bosses.
- Don’t be afraid to rotate team members as you find better options.
Advanced Strategies
- Try running mono-type teams for a challenge or synergy bonus.
- Experiment with Trick Room or weather teams (Sand, Rain, Sun).
- Use Baton Pass or Parting Shot to pivot and maintain momentum.
- Stacking Luck or Pickup abilities can boost rare item drops in endless mode.
