"Cutting through the darkness with our shining blade, Aeon Sword will save you!" - Cheesy team saying
Aeon Sword is the closest thing to an NPC team that you guys will see. My team's job will mainly be to rescue people who get attacked and have not been rescued within an reasonable amount of time after posting their mail on the forum. Basically, I'm a failsafe for players so that nobody gets stuck waiting too long for a rescue. That said, I can't be around all the time, so I'm relying on you guys to save each other as much as possible!
Library of Team Aeon Sword
Here is a collection of journal entries, notes, diagrams and other literature related to team Aeon Sword's adventures.
These provide useful tips and observations made while in various dungeons: Make use of them at your leisure.
Desert Region
Floors: 20
Sirus' Challenge Rating: 3/5 (GAH! I HATE SANDSTORMS!)
Special Features: Sandstorms, traps, poison(!), sandstorms, no food and did I mention sandstorms?
Notes: This area isn't too hard to get through, but you have to watch out for the deadly "Sandstorms for 3 straight floors and poisoned" combo that occasionally pops up. After a few of those you're real easy pickings for the Pokemon that lurk out there. Weather bands may make this place a lot easier to get through.
Solar Cave
Floors: 20
Sirus' Challenge Rating: 2.5/5 (Meh. Could be better, could be worse)
Special Features: Explosion, Blowback, Grimer and Spinny traps located. 10F, 15F and 20F have HMs. I know that 15F is Waterfall and 20F is Surf, and also that Waterfall required a key while Surf was collected via Trawl orb. 10F also needs a key, but I don't yet know what HM the door holds...
Notes: No food. Anywhere. Bring supplies. Oran berries and a max elixer or two also recommended, shouldn't get K.O'ed though, enemies aren't that strong. Keys can be found in here, along with sunstones and moonstones, but are quite rare. I found 4 in my first walk through, but I also collected EVERY SINGLE ITEM on all of the 20 floors. As mentioned, bring a Trawl Orb for 20F if you want the goodies. Oh oh, and there are lots of sticks. Yay sticks.
Buried Relic
Floors: 99
Sirus' Challenge Rating: 3.5/5 (Not too hard, but the length of the dungeon and abundance of traps can be the downfall of the unwary)
Special Features: Regirock, Regice and Registeel make their appearances here. Mew can also be located... if you have the music box and lots of luck. Most annoying features of this place are (in order of ascending annoyance factor) Explosion traps, PP zero traps, Warp traps and Sticky traps (HATE).
Reviver seeds, max elixirs, oran berries, apples and TMs are moderately common throughout the dungeon too. Reviver seeds are a lot less common than the others though.
Mostly, this dungeon is just long and a high-enough level team should have little problem with it. Oh, and keep some orbs around for monster houses. They do tend to pop up in the later floors.
Notes: First of all, if you want a chance of meeting Mew, save 3 spaces in your inventory for the ice part, rock part and steel part that the Regis will drop. The Regis are on floors 15, 25 and 35 if I recall correctly, so you should also bring a few Max Elixirs to restore the PP you'll spend defeating them. Take my advice: DO NOT recruit Pokemon (besides Mew) if you're trying to reach the end in one piece. I brought two reviver seeds along with me and recruited two Pokemon who both wasted the seeds and then were KOed anyway. Later on, still having not learned my lesson, I recruited more Pokemon and found more reviver seeds which they promptly wasted and then fainted too. In other words, Team Aeon Sword had to brave the entire 99 floors without a single reviver seed. I was fortunate that there was an abundance of apples and some scattered max elixirs and oran berries to keep us healthy, or things might have gotten bad.
Overall the dungeon is quite nice to those who take the time to collect items. There's usually plenty of food to be found, lots of money and TMs lying around, and the Pokemon aren't so deadly as to pose a very large threat to your team most of the time. Keep an eye out for Mew (I found it once but it refused to join me when I beat it) after floor 35. Usually you'll know it's around because you'll hear it transforming somewhere nearby. Oh, and beware the traps. While the dungeon itself isn't too hard, the traps are horrible, my personal nemesis being the sticky traps. By the end of the dungeon, almost half of my items were covered in sticky goo, and I had been fortunate that the ones that got stickied were mostly TMs I wasn't intending on using anyway. Furthermore, occasionally the dungeon will play a mean prank of placing a useful item, such as a max elixir or sitrus berry, right near an explosion trap. If you aren't careful, both you AND the item will go boom.
Kecleon also makes an appearance (very rarely) with a shop full of items, but he didn't sell me anything useful at the time, so meh. Basically, my advice for this dungeon is something that applies almost universally. "Look after your PP and carefully ration your food and drink." On that note, don't use max elixirs until you're entirely out of usable moves, or else a sudden PP zero trap might screw you over.
That's about it.
