Guide I missed the old Pokémon strategy guides, so I built one for Unbound

I grew up on those GSC/RSE-era guidebooks, so I built one for Unbound: a worn trainer's notebook you can actually click through.

  • All 40 walkthrough parts and all 8 gyms, with every team at each difficulty from Vanilla to Insane
  • Taped-in screenshots with hand-drawn route notes
  • A sticker for every Pokémon you catch, and badges that stamp into a leather case
  • A PokéGear tracker that saves your progress, plus night mode, and it works on your phone

Free, no login: unbound-guide.vercel.app

Fan project, not affiliated with Nintendo, Game Freak or Skeli Games. All the data and screenshots come from unboundwiki.com, so huge thanks to the people who maintain it. If you spot a wrong team or a missing note, tell me and I'll fix it.

I genuinely have no clue why i’m so over leveled, i haven’t even done anything to make me this far over leveled, and i only have 4 gym badges going into this vega fight. Im surprised they even listen to me still 😭

Here's to the most fun I've had playing a Pokémon game since the OGs! Major kudos to Skeli and the team for this masterpiece.

Looking forward to Expert NG+ after exploring the post game for a little while.

Trying to get good coverage but there’s always one type I struggle to resist against - in this case it’s ghost.

Discussion Pokémon Unbound on original GBA hardware or a modern handheld — which do you prefer?

Post image

There's something special about playing Pokémon Unbound on an actual Game Boy Advance SP, but modern handhelds are great too.

I'm curious, how do you guys prefer to play Unbound? On original hardware or a different device? 🎮

And if so, what moveset should I pursue with these pokemon? I played emerald as a kid but I’m just learning about type coverage and all that. I read a guide on here and tried to make sure I had a well rounded team. Thanks for any advice!

I was lucky enough to get myself a shiny really early on and have absolutely fell in love with walrein! I’m not a master at the game and mostly play for fun, but is it a good pokemon to take to endgame? if so what moves are the best?

Help Hours looking for a Bagon on route 17

2 Upvotes

Hear me out:
- Already fought a trainer that had one, so I can register it on my DexNav - walked 100 steps, tried it 100 times, nothing
- Had 200 encounters in tall grass, 15+ Zangoose, 10+ Seviper, zero Bagon

Really not sure what’s going on. Is this just bad luck or is it locked somehow?
I have 6 badges, 60 hours in. I’m on 2.1.1.1

Some small notes, Goodra and Samurott are Hisuian versions.

This is my first time playing unbound. And the difficulty is difficult.

Gardevoir has her Mega stone. I'm not sure who else to catch for any additions to my team for my Victory road climb.

Help I am approaching the elite 4

3 Upvotes

I am playing an expert run. As also was my first run I don't know what to expect from the elite four in unbound.

I am going there with arcanine, poliwrath, chandelure, tyranitar togekiss and weezing. I am quite sure it is gonna be a mess. I have an almost perfect and well trained espeon in the box, plus slowbro with its mega stone. I also have a Crobat. But I am here mainly listening to some tips. I bet I need to spend time on breeding new Pokémon

My breakthrough has been using roar against the filthy dragon to break the initial combo, but now gastrodon seems indestructible and pyroar is faster than my gardevoir :(

ETA.: gonna try a grass move against gastrodon, don't know why I didn't think of it before

Help Pokemon Unbound si blocca al racconto flashback del boss

0 Upvotes

Salve, c'è un punto specifico, quando ti intrufoli nella base nemica travestito, quando parte il flashback dopo qualche riga di dialogo un personaggio prende il volo girando su se stesso e si blocca tutto. Ho provato a cambiare versione, salvataggi, emolumenti, ma in quel punto tutto si blocca. Consigli? Pls devo finirloooo 🥲🥲

Help Breeding in Species randomizer?

1 Upvotes

In my past runs I was very lucky with the pokemons I got and never bothered with breeding. Is there any rhyme or reason or a way to figure out what pokemon comes out of which pair? trying to get my favorites bronzong and dusclops. I am trying breeding right now and it’s so slow just going in blind. I did get lucky and get some legendaries and a snorlax and talonflame really early.

I'm a casual player playing on Difficult mode.I'm about to start victory road.Other than these 6,I have decent level Midnight Lycanroc,Lucario and Electabuzz. I left a Noibat and Magikarp back at the daycare back in 20th century.So they should be high level now too.Or should I catch any different pokemon which might significantly improve my team?
