—Naero

Naero is the staff-member boss NPC of the eponymous Content Scripter.

It is best-known for its antecedence to Egg Moves-tutors, as defeating him is required to access all the regional daycare centers that they reside in. Additionally, given its secondary rewards and the continuity.

Boss rework 2019

Naero was part of the Boss rework in 2019 and was updated at the 10th January 2019. The boss rework was issued and is still ongoing to improve the boss NPC's in general. All reworked bosses are coded in Python and not in Xanascrip anymore, which gives new opportunities. Reworked bosses can now have held items as well. One of the biggest benefits is, that the Python script sees when if the server crashed in order to not count a lose in case the player fought against the boss while the server crashed. In such a case the player can simply re-figth the boss.

The boss rework implies a challenge for players on any experience level who do enjoy doing bosses because of the three difficulty level every not story related boss has, which ensures that bosses are challengable for newer players and also be a chellange for those who have a high Pokémon knowledge. Boss teams are decisively reworked and only contain level 100 Pokémon. EVs and hold items do vary among other things - also depending on the difficulty level.

• Easy: bosses have no EVs and no hold items; as well as a weakened moveset. Consecutive win rewards are also not available.
• Medium: bosses have 252 EVs in each stat and hold items.
• Hard: bosses have 400 EVs in each stat and hold items. Furthermore, the player is not allowed to use in-battle items such as Revives.

Challenging Naero

Naero is stationed in Cerulean Cave B1F; this necessitates that you defeat Lance in Dragons Den B1F before the occlusive Cerulean Cave guard disappears.

Therein, he can be found wandering around in the trench in the northwestern segment of the basement floor. If you have six level-100 Pokémon on-hand, Naero will challenge you.

If you lose to Naero, you must wait 12 days to rechallenge him; that cooldown time is halved to 6 days contingent that you have active membership at the juncture that you challenged him and that you have not previously defeated him.
