I'm definitely going to have to play around with your list. I went Emerald last night, you are right, wow. Against tamers it seems pretty superior. I'm a fan of XT, but Emerald is pretty great. 1. Nishi 2. Aki 3. Earth Spirit 4. Water Spirit 5. Hyuna 6. Air Spirit 7. Yon 8. Fire Spirit 9. Zushi 10. ...

I'm curious about this also. I've been able to level from 1-25 in just about an hour, but can't cut much time. I'm doing the tamer approach. My key thing I'm looking at is what is the "easiest" panda tamers. Nishi is a breeze, but i'd like 1 or 2 more that I can 2 shot. I could cut maybe 10 minutes ...
