#Trickhouse #Guide
Room 7, the infamously near impossible maze of arrows, with double battles sending you back should you fail.
Difficulty level is KAIZO, for sure. This I had to redo several times, both because of the puzzle and the battles. Room 7 is the hardest room of all. In the original Emerald, the arrow mazes were removed completely, including switches for turning buttons, replaced with switch buttons and simple warps.
Well the arrow maze is back, combined with sliding, buttons, and warps. Room 7 has the hardest puzzle of all, and the double battles here are particularly brutal, especially with the Follow Me + Baton Pass Ninjask setup.
If you don't know the tricks to this, you can be stuck on Room 7 for a long time. The trick is to hit the buttons twice by walking backwards towards the arrow that brought you there. You will have to exit once you have the scroll, but re-enter, solve one more button puzzle, and you can make it.

New catches
Lv. 29 Dugtrio: Thats for AFTER Rival Jrose, only used for Giovanni, proxing catches, and a future gym battle. Getting a level 22 diglet, the highest level in the cave. No sand attack yet.
Lv. 17 Voltorb: No electric moves. This is a theme with electric types. Sonicboom is very helpful and powerful at that level, and is fantastic at catching pokemon. It can also use Flash, although innaccurate, can serve the same backup accuracy haxer.
Lv. 17 Machop: If this thing only had fighting typed karate chop this would be so much more useful.
Lv. 17 Onix: Bind and screech, speed, and an extra rock type, because there is a required exploder battle, and my bellsprout isnt high leveled. Also caught Geodude with rock throw and defense curl, specifically for the enemy Graveler.
Lv. 25 Raticate: Honestly, this can replace vaporeon for another eeveelution... except Id be wasting thunderbolt. Still, Stab Hyper Fang and quick attack are helpful. I shouldve used this for Rival Jrose11 in hindsight. Level 25 is rare.
Lv. 20 Gastly: I was phoning it somewhat, because I plan to replace it with a level 30 haunter instead of a level 27-29, for Hypnosis. So, its there to buffer Erika. Didnt work out so well.
Bosses:
🔴 Dugtrio: Yes, the wild dugtrio is the hardest pokemon for me to catch with Pokeballs. Level 29, with sand attack, and STAB Dig? It will run through your team harder than Lt. Surge ever will. Not bad for a rare, wild Pokemon. A ton of sand attacks is needed, along with several growls... which barely does any good, because this thing WILL crit very often if it hits. You thought Diglett was bad... the goal is to get Drowzee to put this thing to sleep. It is only level 15 vs level 29, and it takes more pokeballs than you can imagine.
🔴 Rock Tunnel Trainers: From the stun spore and wrap abusing grass types, to the powerful slowpokes, and a required Hiker Battle. The Hiker has an illegal graveler at level 21, which can use self-destruct, along with two other geodudes. Bellsprout is only level 14, so they may get hits in... which can include self-destruct. More dangerous than Lt. Surge, which is why they are mentioned.
🔴 Rival Jrose11: GYARADOS. With HYDRO PUMP and DRAGON RAGE. This is a moveset used by the FINAL BOSS of RBY. I was really surprised back then when I tried using geodude to rock throw the gyarados, assuming it doesnt get water moves... but it turns out Gyarados always starts with that except in Yellow. That is the biggest threat of his team, replacing his dead Raticate. Honestly, there really isnt much available that can handle this beast, except for Vaporeon, Raticate, or team efforts including voltorb. On TOP of the really tough Kadabra and Pidgeotto. Ivysaurs team is the one with the highest level enemy Gyarados.
🔴 Giovanni: Sadly the Hiker put up a better fight here, though Kangaskhan can be midly threatening... if it doesnt use rage. Dont worry, in this exclusive No EXP run, this will change, though I might be willing to No EXP Blue Kaizo. Rhyhorn is cool looking I must admit.
🔴 Erika: Im aware of the Good AI exploit for the big grass types, which makes the underlings somewhat tougher. The Cooltrainer, bellsprout users, and Exeggcute are the ones to be mindful of with Ninetails, it doesnt do enough with ember. Bellsprout can (eventually) own Victrebel and Vileplume, but Im not gonna do that. Razor Leaf REALLY hurts, even on something as bulky as Gastly. Wrap is incredibly obnoxious that it can stall Ghost types. Hilariously enough, Onix wins against Tangela, who doesnt have status OR grass attacks. Just constrict (weakest attack in the game), and bind (annoying).
To make the boss fights more interesting, I am planning to make changes to just the upcoming bosses. Not KAIZO levels, no movepool changes, just something that would appear in Red or Blue. Next week, look forward to these.
Btw Red and Blue level up movesets on most pokemon are godawful.")

Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE for the raw Pokemon Blue No EXP Sinister run, as the creator of Pokemon Blue Kaizo and Pokemon Emerald Kaizo, SinisterHoodedFigure, gets accosted by KingNappy, before a better Drowzee overshadows him with a higher level Hypnosis. Anakin is also caught, who ironically hates sand, as its too course and dry. Nobody likes sand attack, which is a recurring theme in this run.

This means I cannot use Dugtrio in Lt. Surges gym... because that is beyond overkill. Actually I cant use the level 22 diglett, the highest level one. Because of the RIval on the SS.Anne.
New Team Members:
Level 15 Drowzee: I initially caught a level 13 Drowzee just to get Hypnosis, knowing how rare the level 15 is, so I needed a backup sleeper. Also, Drowzee is going to be useful in battles because of the psychic resist. UNFORTUNATELY, because of no rare candies, Drowzee cannot learn confusion, which hurts. The only psychic that can is Mr. Mime... if I can catch a high level abra. Hypnosis is more useful though.
Level 17 Farfetchd: It doesnt suck at this point in the game. In fact, its surprisingly the most vital bird I caught so far. Peck for stab like Spearow, Sand attack like Pidgey. Future use is learning Cut and fly. Its stats are actually stronger than the other catchable birds, and the spearow at level 17 is the highest level so far. The rival has an Ivysaur, which isnt too bad, but Farfetcd Sand attack and speed helps.
Level 20 Diglett: This pokemon is perfect enough for Gary/Rival and Lt. Surge, being around the level of the strongest pokemon. Good news, it gets Dig by this point, a 150 base ground move including STAB. That will tear through alot of things, and diglett is the fastest pokemon I can catch factoring rules. Bad news, no sand attack until level 24. You cant get a level 24 diglett anyway.
Bosses:
🔴 Team Rocket: Other villain teams dont have the terror that is Hypnosis and Confusion Drowzee at level 17. Mega Punch clefable and sand attacks are needed, but this one can be hard to counter. Surprisingly Machop is not a hapless joke... it gets Karate Chop, which can become 100 base power, and nearly OHKO everything I have.
🔴 Bug Catcher: Level 20 Butterfree. I did not mean to fight him this early, but as you can see, it has powders and confusion. This thing is STRONG against everything I can catch. Surprise fourth boss, but I nearly lost outright. Fun fact, in Blue Kaizo, this is the guy with the level 100 weedle, to simulate just how much more difficult this bug catcher is compared to everyone else, much less, the other bug catchers. You cant get butterfree at all in the No EXP run.
🔴 Rival Jrose11: His first 3 pokemon are serious threats. Pidgeotto sand attack, Hyper Fang Raticate is vicious, and Kadabra is a very scary pokemon with confusion. Teleport is a move he can randomly pick, which may help you slightly. Drowzee is the only thing that can withstand Kadabras confusion though, and put it to sleep. Geodude is still useful for buffering Raticate, as long as I got enough sand attacks.
🔴 Lt. Surge: The most dangerous thing on his team is Voltorb, who is faster than lv. 20 diglett, and has Sonic Boom, which penetrates Geodude hard. My pokemon are below level 20 and mostly unevolved, so SonicBoom is a mini-dragon rage that misses sometimes. I use all three ground types, each handling a specific pokemon. Diglett for Voltorb, Geodude for Quick Attack Pikachu, and Anakin for Raichu... which cant touch three pokemon. Why do you need level 29 Dugtrio again? Yes, the Lightning American is by far the easiest of the Gym Leaders I fought so far. A ROCKER with two voltorb are more dangerous. The only danger is that you cannot get sandshrew in Red version, keep that in mind.
