What was your strategy on taking down Rift Garbodor?

Honestly, there really wasn't one.  I burned it at the start of the battle and had hail to do chip damage, but it still one or two shot most things........except the Nidos.  King and Queen were luckily bulky enough to survive multiple Sludge Waves and spam Earth Power (with Earth Plates) until the damage outpaced the healing enough. 

I got it second attempt, mostly because I had 3 grass types first time and because the first battle with the weaker version (with no field regen) lured me into thinking the fight would easier.  

If you had a Pyukumuku in your PC and it still knows Purify, then you could've cleared the field. That way Rift Garbodor wouldn't recieve the power up nor the healing. 

I also tried poisoning with Salazzle, but it had poison boost, iirc.
