First of all, your mons are a bit underleveled, you can train them by fighting the grand hall trainers.

Regarding your party, I think it's not very good against poison types. I suggest using a swoobat (woobat from the underroot or underground railnet). Simple + Calm Mind, Confusion, Air Slash swoobat can easily sweep most of his mons. 

At lvl 32, charmeleon learns flame burst, you can use it as a last ditch effort, taking down one of his mons with you. I normally use it for crobat or skuntank.

Lastly, you can use delibird as a lead, stacking up some spikes to ease sweep from your other mons.

ok things got better but still woobat is pretty useless it is at lvl 31 calm mind assurance gust and aircutter  it still dies two hits i got a phanpy and evolved it into donphan which helps but not enough

You really should evolve Woobat, it evolves through friendship, and it is one level away from learning Air Slash. You can use also Diggersby, you can find Bunnelby nearby and with huge power it will be a powerhouse against Corey and also against Shade with the move Nature Power you got from Florinia, which will turn into Gear Grind, and remember, Diggersby is a normal type so the ghost moves that Shade has, won't work on it. Another pokemon that should be good against Corey is Guts Swellow, you can get Taillow in Rhodochrine jungle, and the tm for Facade from the game corner. Now that one looks like a hassle to get, but with Facade Swellow hits like a truck, and the battlefield poisons Swellow for free (if you saved all the policemen, else, just pre-poison/burn and that will do). Plus Diggersby can also learn Facade, and as I said if the field poisons you for free, it is for free a double in power, with huge power on top of it. Also if you wait out Bunnelby's evolution to level 33 when it learns Dig you can completely crush most of Corey's pokemon, though with the two turn move it will be worn twice as fast (again, assuming you have saved all the policemen). You also have the choice to use psychic types, Swoobat is a good choice, but there are also Grumpig (I think you find Spoink in Coral ward) , Gothorita (you can get a gothita from the Beryl library), and I think Meowstic is an option too if you were lucky in Peridot ward to happen upon Espurr. From ground types there is also the Numel you find at the Station where the bomb went off in the start of the game and of course Onix, which you can get as a gift for helping some dude near the station find a place to rent in Peridot ward. There is also ground type Wormadam for the ground types, but why would you use that when you have all those other choices. I think that's all for the ground and psychic types, but I could be wrong.

Still have an Ill-fated doll, never got the totem encounter

I'm able to get past the start just fine, can kill before he sets up trick room, the problem is I can't get the second setup down fast enough, he sets up trick room, and then sweeps. Pls help.

Recommendations:

Tsareena utterly destroys Radomus. Her Queenly Majesty ability completely nulls Metagross (the King) and boosts her damage by 1.5x, easily letting her 1HKO Slowking while protecting whatever else from Metagross. I've had Radomus with Metagross just sitting there like a lump while Tsareena was out, allowing me to gang up on his other pokemon until Metagross was alone.

Tsareena is easily acquired as well, as all it takes is getting the Glameow from the Glamazonia, showing it to the happiness checker in the other salon, and beating her lv45 Tsareena.

 

Spiritomb: Its priority attacks in Sucker Punch and Shadow Sneak are effective on Radomus's team and receive a boost from the field. Take an Odd Keystone to the back room in Bysbyxion Tunnels to catch one.

 

Honchkrow: It's slow enough that it isn't ideal for most gyms, but a well-placed Brave Bird should send Gallade packing and its Sucker Punch is boosted by the field. Just be careful of getting hit by almost any attack that isn't Psychic type, as many attacks will have Rock added. Honchkrow is more complicated, as it requires clearing the Aqua/Magma gang questline then bringing Pokesnacks to Aqua's hideout at night while it's windy.

Thanks, I'll probably go for Tsareena or Spiritomb.

Also I caught a Karablast while grinding them up. Lv 48, thoughts?

Are you utilizing the EXP candy trainers in the Grand Hall and the Power held items (from the dept store)? Those'll make grinding much faster.

 

As for Karrablast, save and make sure you're actually able to evolve it with a Link Stone before you train it. If not, you'll need to catch a Shelmet from Azurine and trade it in Spinel Town to get Escavalier.

 

Escavalier would make an excellent King, actually, but as you'll want to invest in its HP, you should try to get a King's Rock from the Poliwhirls in Tanzan Cove (morning, bring a pokemon with Compound Eyes such as Butterfree or Venonat and catch them or use Thief/Covet) and give it to Escavalier before the fight to lock it into being the King and fire off priority Megahorn and Iron Head.

The trainers at the top right corner in the grand hall, they give exp candies upon defeat, and are repeatable trainers

Btw one trick I used is lead with sticky web leavanny, because of the magical seed, the enemy will have magic coat, so sticky web gets on your side instead. With the speed drop, your mons will be the one faster under trick room. You just need to use not-too-fast mons like the tsareena, spiritomb, escavalier and swampert, then you’re good to go. Take note to delay sewaddle’s evolution to learn sticky web first though. See if that helps with anything

You mentioned megahorn but I don't see a way to get it where I'm at now, is there something I'm missing?

Also is there a good way to get the king rock? I've been grinding for hours and didn't find one.

The way I got 3 King's Rocks in a matter of minutes was to catch everything in Tanzan Cove except for Poliwhirl and give my Compound Eyes pokemon the Magnetic Lure held item acquired by giving one of the NPCs in Beryl exactly $5000 at once. Poliwhirls only appear in the mornings. That way, you will only encounter Poliwhirl and have a good chance of having it carry the King's Rock.

 

Huh. I was wrong. It turns out that Megahorn is an egg move for Karrablast from Heracross or Scolipede, not something it or Escavalier learns by level-up. One would think that a Bug with a horn would learn Megahorn on its own...

Soooo....I'm doing a themed run in preparation for a story that I am going to write. I have limited mons to run with, so even though I have mons you're not able to get at this point, I still have an added degree of difficulty because I am limited

 

That being said. Radomus Is a pain in the ass. I thought I could power through using some setup, BUT that means I can't kill his first trick room setters for the sweep. The attached spread sheet has my mons, the attached items, EV spreads and the moves I currently have, as well as, the maybe useful items in my bag. 

 

Any thoughts on a potential solution are really welcome. I have gotten close, leaving just the Slowking left, that lived a +2 Leaf Blade from my Sceptile.

I'm up against Terra here, these fields are starting to drive me up the wall despite how fun some of the other ones are.

I'm aware of how the field works but that doesn't mean I want to keep it around.

 

I don't want to drop the game due to the constant struggling I'm now facing from these boss battles and having to do niche things to beat them but I'm running out of enthusiasm fast here.

Hello I hope you didn't give up. If you're still stuck, I recommend Alola Ninetales with snow warning and Blizzard. Also any Pokémon with grassy/misty/electric/psychic terrain. If you have Eevee for example, it learns misty terrain via level up (as a Sylveon) and is immune to draco meteor, to destroy that Garchomp. A Pokémon who can poison or burn or use leech seed is mandatory if you don't change the terrain in some way. Or else you'll have to force out that Quagsire, which can happen if you stall it enough, but it will be difficult to make her switch. From the Pokémon you have in the box, I'd give Walrein, Silvally ice if you can get it, and Rotom frost a shot. Also if you have destiny bond on Sharpedo, with the Protect TM that you should have by now and also speed boost, you can take out any Pokémon you wish that gives you trouble. Talonflame could hit something with Brave bird or Acrobatics really hard, but it's not that strong to carry you for the whole fight. Be wary of the Garchomp, it has an assault vest that on the Glitch field raises its attack, and it doesn't drop when using Draco meteor. It will also outspeed a lot if not all of your Mons. Sandslash I think is the only one that will outspeed, but it won't one shot the Garchomp if the Glitch field is active. Talonflame could outspeed it also and hit a little harder, but it won't one shot either. So could Alola Ninetails outspeed, if you EV train it but I'm not certain about it, and it will hit harder than Talonflame but I don't know if it will take it out in one.

[Scio]

u can defeat him with the mons with you and those in the pc. Start with noivern make it hold focus sash or quick claw set up tailwind and make it learn acrobatics if you can. Then switch into galvantula to set up sticky web and at this point your team should be able to outspeed all of the opposing mons. You should also teach your delphox will o wisp any way you can it is going to help you a lot. Also switching out drifblim for gothorita also seems like a smart play because drifblim doesnt have any flying type moves. Using emboar also seems like a good idea as long as it has very good hard hitting physical moves which affects the field. Switching out mismagius seems like a viable option for bringing in emboar unless it threatens your team's total synergy. Yeah all the best coming from a guy who has almost finished the game and is stuck on the crystal puzzle with serra in the postgame.

That might help out thanks. It's that stupid hawlucha being able to outspeed nearly everything and the attack boost slaying everything in my party with acrobatics.

The hariyama at the start is slow so free tailwind. I may or may not have used my focus slash in another fight, so noivern is out right away. Other than that I just need to spend the time EV training the rest and things should be good.

 

Edit: I do still have focus slash! So go me.
