Eleventh Rock to Smash : My love is like poison part two

Business in Apophyll ended, the part that got me addicted was gone. But the best was in the future. At this point the story stop "stalling" like in the first part, so that will be a really fast run. Not sure if that's for the better because i love that fighting monorun, but well, whatever , i wont rush so that should be fine. Soooo i met the pretty boy in the front of Bysbyxion Wasteland as he wanted , for him to open the door between his sister and I, again, not in the bad sense :P

But well, Cain wants some love, and here we are with him.

LrQ40E3.png

Soooo. Facing the Pretty boy.

oDUGHQd.png

I started with Ginpei while the pretty boy started with Venomoth. Again i got lucky on the first pokemon. But well, Fire pledge Wrecked the Venomoth. The pretty boy used Samurott which i answered with Korrina my Pangoro. Korrina took an Air Slash and fainted. She's ridiculously bad at tanking attacks...It wasn't even stabbed Dammit. So that was Moley who took the fight against Samurott, she used an High Jump Kick ,making the water pokemon faint. The pretty boy sent Nidoking and wrecked moley by an ice beam. Well, i sent Josue my toxicroak. It used Strenght against the Nidoking, lowering it's HP, it tanked an ice beam and killed the Nidoking with Sucker punch. Gengar came, but was killed by a crited sucker punch. That was Muk's turn. I switched for Ginpei before and placed a nasty plot to kill the Muk with Fire pledge. I then used the same move against weezing but it tanked it, letting Ginpei faint against Sludge bomb / wave dont remember which one.But finaly , Josue finished the Weezing using Sucker punch, beating the pretty boy.

Well, so i found a way to the wasteland. I quickly grabbed the black sludge in it, and went through Aya's house / gym. But well, i didnt do anything else for the moment, because i wanted to pass the level cap quickly because all my mons were struggling with that. Well so i quickly found Cain's sister, to be honest i find her pretty , i guess she's my favourite character based on the design. Her eyes especially looks very mature, i like that. But well, this isnt the moment to talk about Aya's pretty face since the dumbass Fern is still here. So here we go in another battle ;)

afymfJK.png

( I really thought he was a girl at first sight, really )

Well, Fern is the same deal each time.

He leaded with Ferrothorn while i used Ginpei. Fire pledge wrecked the steel grass, but then Krookodile came and tanked close combat, wrecking Ginpei with an Earthquake. I sent Rocky, my Medicham who finished the Krookodile with a Drain punch. Fern scent Scizor who was wrecked by High Jump Kick. I was quite surprised when Fern sent out Sceptile Mega. I didnt expect him to have a mega that early in the game, but whatever, the Sceptile killed Focky by a leaf blade. Moley took the lead, managed to place 3 Dragon dances, and swept both Sceptile, Roserade, and Serperior, giving me the win.

jawD9hR.png

He REALLY looks like a girl x_x

Well, the dumbass was done, so i started to fight the sister. Double battle gym leader was a pain against poison because of Sludge wave. All their pokemons had the ability to hit both my pokemons at once, and that was a clear handicap in my progression. But well.

MIT7tC1.png

Battle versus Pretty Girl Aya

We started with Ginpei and Josue VS Nidoqueen and Tentacruel
Ginpei uses nasty plot and Josue Sucker punch on Nidoqueen. They both tank blizzard and Sludge wave well.
Then, both fighting pokemons combine their sucker punchs and fire pledge to take the nidoqueen down. Tentacruel tried a muddy water, but even if it killed Ginpei, Josue Healed itself using Dry Skin <3
Moley was next, facing Gengar. Josue delt a Sucker punch on gengar, lowering its HP and tanked a Shadow Ball, Tentacruel used Sludge wave, Killing both Josue and Gengar in the process.
Mario came. Facing Dragalge. He immediately used Faked out on Dragalge, buying some time for moley. Moley tanked a blizzard. Moley used crunch , killing the Tentacruel. I healed Moley with Mario's action , and they were both able to tank the sludge wave because of that.
Drapion came.
I spent another marios turn in healing Moley, allowwing her to OHKO drapion with Hjkick. But the two partners in love were crushed by Dragalge Sludge wave...
Korrina and Rocky were finally both killed by Venusaur Mega and Dragalge...


3Y8VZH8.png

That Dragalge is insane x_x

Well, at this point, i'm switching Rocky the Medicham for Matter the Sawk, Medicham couldn't tank any sludge wave, it was useless here.

MIT7tC1.png

Wasteland Bi....Punk Aya rematch.

Moley and Mario were against Nidoqueen and Tentacruel.
The Huge mario used fake out on Tentacruel, buying some time for Moley who tanked an earth power from Nidoqueen and used a dragon dance.
I used the second turn of Mario to heal Moley who Ddanced another time. The Love Duo tanked both blizzard and muddy water.
Mario again passed his turn to heal his lady who almost killed Tentacruel with Crunch, but lost its life in the process, you were a good husband Mario :'(
Korrina came, Moley crunched the Tentacruel who lost and Korrina crunched Nidoqueen , halving its life. They both tanked a sludge wave.
Moley crunched Gengar while her sister Korrina healed her. They again were both able to tank a sludge wave thanks to the heal.
Dragalge Came. Moley crunched it but didnt killed it, letting Dragalge sludge wave both Moley and Korrina who fainted. Moley also tanked Blizzard.
Ginpei came and healed Moley who immediately crunched once more, getting the win from Dragalge, they tanked another blizzard.
Drapion Came, and it was time to Nidoqueen to get out thanks to moxie crunch. Ginpei tanked a poison tail and healed Moley in the process.
Finaly, Mega Venusaur honored us by its presence. He was crunched in no time by Moxie Moley while Ginpei used close combat on Drapion but was confused just after.
Moley finally used Facade on the Drapion, giving me the win over Aya <3

Welllll , i got that poison badge ! Poison fight are really a pain with Fighting mono, both Corey and Aya were very difficult. I managed to find a way for Aya thanks to the amount of pokemons i had. When i fought Corey i had only 4 Pokemons, Korrina included and she couldn't tank anything, so the match was almost entirely on Mario's body. I understood at this point why Corey had been that difficult. And that crobat tho.

Well, Aya is out, next step is to find his brother in the railnet to free the kids with him. Well i have some things to do before, because i have strenght man <3 I love that <3

Aya is beaten, the adventure continues, seeya in the next rock to smash ;)

And dont forget our mascott contest :D

The team so far !

Great job beating Solaris! I like that you used massive hax to take him down, since he is hax. Moley is such a badass with HJK and Moxie.

That Aya fight gave you more trouble than I expected. But once again Moley proves the MVP. Korrina even managed to tank a hit for once in its miserable life.

Moley in the MVP in the team i think, she's just awesome ♥ Hjkick relies on haxx, but to be honest i like that.

I just understood with your comment the thing about Solaris, why he sent tyranitar was to set up sand for an evasion garchomp....I see now :P

I litteraly laughed at the comment about Korrina, that's so true x)

And yeah, Aya is a pain , because of her massive damages with Sludge wave in doubles. Dragalge is a wrecking ball, and if you dont have anything to kill it asap, it can wreck the whole team. So i would recommend to go in 2VS1 on him, no matter what's the price ^^

HJK for the win

Also, Serra and Noel next up. Should be relatively simple, right? Right?

I'm worrying about Clefable, but Serra should be easy i guess , unless it has a lot of psychic support ^^

Twelfth rock to smash : Focusing open the ways of punching !

Hello guys ! Aya freshly beaten, i got the access tp a powerful thing for my team , aka strenght. Strenght would open a lot of things in my trip, including the access to the railnet, and so to Ralts. I decided so it was time to focusing, training time. I went to the railnet, and found Cain who wanted to save the kids like me. Well, if i wanted to do that, that was to have an access to the corrupted pokeball. So we went together in the Yureyu building and we beated grunts. When we went to the top, i had a choice of either fighting Sirius or Sigmund. I wasn't feeling like dueling an electric mono on a factory field, so i took the way to battle Sirius.

I'll be gentle <3

b6rLjc8.png

You can kill her, i dont care :3

GIVE ME THOSE ARTIFACTS D:

6ITbqwN.png

Battle Versus Sirius
Moley and Nidoking VS Hitmontop and Chandelure
Nidoking protected moley well by being a target, letting her put a Ddance. She then almost killed chandelure by crunching it, but got killed by Hjkick.
Josue and Samurottt took next one, Sirius switched Hitmontop for Probopass and saw his chandelure faint from sucker punch. Samurott air slashed Probopass.
Sirius sent Manectric, who got kicked by drain punch and air slash. Hitmontop came again. Probopass used thunderbolt on Samurott, and Hitmontop used Hjikick on Samurott aswell, wrecking it. I almost OHKO'ed Probopass with drain punch. Cain sent Venomoth.
Sirius used an hyper potion on Probopass, but Josue OHKO'ed Probopass and tanked an High Jum Kick.
Sirius sent Honchkrow and Killed Josue by a brave bird. I sent matter , who tanked Hitmontop and killed it. but Venomoth was killed aswell.
Seviper Came , and Muk came in my side. I used retaliate on the Seviper, Honchkrow used brave bird on Matter, killing both itself and my pokemon. Seviper was finaly kicked by knock off, giving us the win.

hUa1V9d.png

Soooo i finaly got what i want, the corrupted Pokeball. At this point i felt training was required to progress in the hardcore, so i returned to reborn City, and gragged Department Store stickers to buy the long awaited item *-*

pggZPm7.png

Well, i can finaly train my pokemons decently ! I grabbed my current pokemons to finish their EV Spreading, i mostly raised the speed and the attack of all my mons, they'll show their full potential by this manner. I went to the aqua gang Hideout, that's my fav place to train EV since they're all giving 1 speed EV and most of pokemons need that anyway. So each pokemon give me +4 attack +1 speed and that's enough.

I killed almost 800 pokemons in total, because they had to be trained hard, and my champions are ready :P

I also went to Apophyll, because of strenght i could grab that Tepig. I was going to reset it, but see what i got on my first encounter.

eFBygEc.png

sZQaemS.png

He's perfect <3

I wanted to train quickly the Tepig, so i went to the most evident place i could think about to train him.

I also resetted the corrupted pokeball, that was really boring because i had perfect IVs but that was a female Ralts, i tried asmany resets i could do and finaly got a decent ralts.

Sorry for the long , very long, momentum. I've been busy with things, so well i couldn't spend time here. x_x
Mascott winner is @wytch_doctr !!!
Well, you were the first entry, but still, you gave a freakin good mashup with all those pokemons, so you'll earn both the zubat and the noibat, send me your save file and i'll do the transfer :) Gratz man :)
And to answer, yes i'm planning on getting the chespin event since i will use all fighting pokemons available to give a proper review of each one. :)

Anyway.


Thirteenth Rock to Smash : Ice Beauty Queen vs Huge Focusing !

Well, EV training ended in a cool way, and my buffed pokemonsters got an huuuuuge boost from that. At this point, i'm really starting to feel that the team is able to make some breakthroughs in the Hardcore world. Well, Serra is a cool matchup for me as Ice is very weak to Fight. One focusing, one punching, and hop here we go. That's what i tought at least...

.

Q5nknl2.png


So i grabbed the kids and went outside the railnet, Heather the little annoying kid flew away, without even saying a damn word. Are you kidding girl sigh. I hate Heather for that you see, i dislike those kind of people who dont care about anything else than themselves. Well, byebye Heather.

We ran to Charlotte's house and Nostra felt bad, so it was time to go to Spinel and get the Medicine, and here i came to the gym to battle Serra.
But before...There is a loser that wants to get his ass kicked.
9Tee1T8.png
Battle Versus Bennett

Kenji dueled against Larvesta , he started using thrash, but that did very poor damages to larvesta who OHKO'ed him with Zen headbutt.
Matter came, tanked a Zen Headbutt and answered with counter, making the Larvesta faint.
Scyther came and used wing attack on Matter, making him faint.
Rocky was next, but was overkilled by wing attack.
Josue was killed too, aswell as Shin and Erik, all of my pokemons fainted due to that damn Scyther.
I lost to Bennett x_x

At this point i'm switching Shin (Throh) for Ginpei (Infernape)
I'm also switching Kenji (Primeape) for Cyril (Emboar)
I'm also switching Rocky (Medicham) for Moley (Scrafty)


9Tee1T8.png
VS Bennett Rematch
Ginpei against Larvesta
Ginpei could this time make two fire pledges against larvesta, putting it in the red. But he paid his life for that.
Moley came to take the next, i knew Bennett was about to heal its insect so i placed a dragon dance. I used another one and tanked a bug bite. That was sweeping time.
Moley used two rock clims in a row, tanking a bug bite, and killed that larvesta, raising its attack by moxie.
Heracross came but fell for an Hjkick from Moxie Moley.
Scyther Came but was crushed by Crunch.
Vivillon came but was crushed aswell. Same fate for Butterfree.
Venomoth putted quite a surprise by hanging a focus sash, resisting Moley's impact, but in the end it fainted.

Well, the guy was gone, and i so i got a date with his mother, who said mi....Well let's skip that :3
krmRoLN.png
Battle versus Serra
Sooo we started with Erik (Gallade) Versus Abomasnow. Surprisingly id didnt have snow warning, and that was cool because i didnt want to get Haxxed x)
Buuuuut he mega evolved, showing his hidden snow warning D: Well, Erik did OHKO it with Close Combat though.
Glaceon came, and boosted its evasion. I didnt want to struggle with hitting the mirrors, plus my Gallade was already lowered in stats due to close combat, so i simply used Destiny Bond , the Glaceon used frost breath, criting my Gallade and Killing it.
But he died too :3
Ginpei was next, against Masmowine, who had Snow cloak too !!! Well, i tried a close combat, but hitted the mirror and took an earth power. Fuck it.
Josue was next. I intended to make the max amount of damages. I tank a blizzard and missed a Drain punch, i tried to drain punch again but Serra switched for cloyster. It allowed me to recover some HP from Josue alongisde with its holding black sludge.
Josue was still faster than Cloyster, it killed him with drain Punch, Mamoswine came back and kicked the toxic Fighter with Earth power...
Moley was next, she tanked an icicle crash and used Ddance, the she tried to Hjkick and succeed, making the big mamoth faint !
Vanilluxe came, i was fearing the missing Hjkick so i came safely with a crunch, i lowered vanilluxe hp to the red and i got killed by frost breath. That allowed Cyril to take the lead.
Serra used Ultra potion, allowing Cyril to one shot the Vanilluxe with Head Smash.
And finaly , Froslass came, and again raised its evasion. She critted my Cyril with Shadow ball, wrecking it. Matter came, but at this point i already lost the fight.
Froslass used two shadow balls, making Matter faint. I lost.

krmRoLN.png
Versus Serra Rematch
Again, Erik crushed Abomasnow, but this time will be different the beauty queen calls Glaceon which i answer with Mario. Glaceon boosts its evasion, it uses stored power, killing my Hariyama in one shot.
Erik comes again. I made a mistake by believing Mario could tank Glaceon but that wasnt time to lose hope, Erik came and did OHKO Glaceon by using Close Combat Successfully.
That was Mamoswine's turn. I tried to go reckless with Close combat , but Mamoswine was faster and used Icicle crash, wrecking Erik.
Moley came, tanked an earth power to place dragon dance. Hjkick worked and took Mamoswine down.
Vanilluxe came, and was also killed by Hjkick. Cloyster came, Moley ignored my orders and took an icicle spears.
She didn't listen again and was Ko'ed.
Ginpei took the lead, He used a nasty plot, tanking a rock blast from Cloyster. He then used fire pledge but got Wrecked by Focus sash.
Josue's turn, since Serra used ultra potion, i was able to deal double drain punch, wrecking the Cloyster <3
Froslass finaly came.... It tanked a sucker punch, but kicked Josue with a crit Shadow Ball.
Cyril was last, Serra used an ultra potion on Frolass, Cyril used Head Smash , OHKO'ing the froslass, giving me the win <3

The team so far !

Dang, I actually didn't change those fights in the update iirc but wow that's kind of a surprise. Serra does have a huge advantage over physical attacks especially with that mirror chip damage. I don't know how the noel fight will go because on one hand you have strong Pokemon, but on the other, Noel has strong threats as well (1.9 probably would give you hell though). Good luck as a few of the upcoming fights are kind of tough. Also, it's been a while since you updated (Yay!)

I guess i'll try the 1.9 after i will have this run closed, because all the fix you're doing seem really attracting, i love hard ways ;p

Well, i did have a boring time IRL, too much work for not enough time, but i'm back :)

Serra was a pain actually, missing physical hits is deadly, and the haxx is real in this fight, even with the type advantage, i got shrekt x)

Serra surprisingly wasn't too incredibly tough for me with a ground mono, yet Aya gave me hell, up until I found out I could mist the field away. Anyway, good job with this stuff, keep the updates comin :D

I guess in mono, the matchs we expect to be easy are the harder, i got the same feeling with Shade who was immune to fight, but he was a piece of cake.

Hmm...I suppose it's how I designed it which would explain it. Most of the leaders got huge amps covering their weaknesses one way or another such as Aya having double blizzards to cover ground weaknesses. Aya also has two leads which I will call the great wall of China in terms of living. It's kind of funny since she is a mixed leader with a bigger focus on revenge killing.

But yeah, there will always be the leader you find easy and the leader you find hard, but hardcore's emphasis is on more rounded teams as well as strategies (unlike the main game, I don't make a huge gap between ace and normal Pokemon in terms of power making them sometimes feel weaker).

You got a point, and i think the leaders are very well prepared to face their weaknesses, in Reborn regular and in Hardcore aswell. I really did have an hard time beating the mirrors, while Shade who was supposed to be a huge threat , was wrecked like nothing. I maybe take some challenges too lighty due to my advantages....That wont happen again with Noel.

Hardcore is a really , really cool thing in the way that i never made as much strategies in ANY Pokemon games, the originals, the fangames, anything. They're not invincible, but you always have an hard time with EVERYTHING...Except Shelly :3

That's why i'm curious about the update, and i'll make another run just to discover that.

Fourteenth Rock to Smash Thunderstruck and We will Rock You !

Well, most of you get the reference, i guess. It's time for us to prepare ourselves to battle the almighty and Handsome, , Sigmund. Well, we all know he's a little Jerk that loves to play with children's minds, i hate him.

Before going through this fight, i had to train a bit my pokemons, because some didn't battle at all since Kiki, so it was time to get stronger. I dropped Shin, the Throh. Training him isn't worth the results. He doesnt have anything different to offer and cant tank anything.

Well, so the team went through Charlotte's house and handed the Medicine to Nostra who felt a lot better.

9XqaGMf.png

Soo Saphira came with really bad news, Sigmund was coming with a bunch of meteor grunts, and we had to protect the base. Sooo i was the primarly line of defense, really? Well, Sigmund came and a battle started.

qQJBhRy.png

rWjN66x.png
Battle VS Sigmund.
Erik VS Mega Ampharos
Close combat makes huge damages while signal beam only cut by half my life, i'm spamming the Close combats, getting rid of Connal's three Hyper potions, and finish with a night slash but he survived dont ask me how and took erik down by thunderbolt.
Josue came and a poison Jab killed the Ampharos.
Electivire Came and used cross chop, i tanked the attack and used drain punch, recovering all the damages i took thanks to black sludge too. Sucker punch finished him.
Luxray came, but was killed by double Drain Punch.
Rotom came, but was Insta Killed by poison jab.
Eelektross came, it tanked a drain punch, used discharge which i tanked. Josue didn't answer so it tanked another discharge, but finaly finished the mons by using drain punch.
Finaly Lanturn. Drain punch took half its life, lettign Josue recover. Josue tanked a Discharge and finished the lanturn by drain punch.

Piece of cake. Sigmund was really childplay.

R8nVebM.png

SHezPnO.png

At this point, i'm switching Josue for Matter.

Well, that bitchy doctor took Charlotte and Shelly, and because Saphira truly loves her sister, she wants me to grab her with her. Well, i like Charlotte so i dont mind and i follow her through Meteor's base in Tanzan Mountain.

ifCqNJ3.png

Beating few grunts and finaly went to the core of the base, but Zero teleported us to the dark cave. The Steelix boss battle started.

Z3VQcMo.png
VS Steelix
Erik used Destiny bond, was crushed, and crushed Steelix as a result :3

2TU4egl.png

The girl rided the Steelix, and it's time for another boss battle.

F0KRm1C.png

mjQNoYn.png
VS ZEL
Abra swept all my team at first try, this thing is insane o_o
At this point i'm switching Moley, Leslie and Rocky for Mario, Cyril and Josue. I also gave a focus sash to Erik.
Since Sashes are consumables, i reserve them for very important bosses, and thanksfully, Erik managed to tank a dark pulse and placed his destiny bond, killing the PULSE Abra.

3rhvfa9.png

Well, those battles weren't has hard as before, but well. We'll stop now for this time since Noel is the next in the trip, so we'll try to be prepared enough to deal with him :P No team so far since they just leveled up since last time :3

Seeya in the next Rock to Smash <3

Welcome back! glad to see the return of this Mono :3

I really don't need/want the shiny Zubat/Noibat, honestly. Thanks for the offer though.

Good job on taking the Steelix and Abra lol. Destiny Bond is op. Gotta love it.

Noel is gonna be exciting too. I'd like to see how Toxicroak does against the Fairies on his team.

Good Luck!

Thanks mate ! But well, a contest has a reward, so i'll give you some rupees instead, and you cant say no *3* I love the pic, so thats give for something given :P

Destiny bond is sure very OP , I wouldn't be able to progress without it.

Josue the Toxicroak is becoming the star of the team i guess, here is the next :)

Fifteenth Rock to Smash : Battleing a Prodigy

Came back to the house without Saphira, it was time to battle Noel while waiting Saphira. My pokemons were ready.

fNAS3Ld.png

Battle Versus Noel.
It started with Cinccino against Erik. I supposed it was about to be an easy battle, but the Beauty Queen with her ice pokemons taught me to not underestimate any trainer in Reborn Hardcore. So i went frankly with a Close Combat. The Cinccino outspeeded me, but i was able to survive the bullet seed. I killed the Cinccino, thanks i didn't flinch....Well, wat awaited me was heavier than that....
Staraptor was sent, knowing that i couldn't stop any bird attack, i switched for Matter who litteraly destroyed the Staraptor with his counter.
Porygon Z came next, i sent Erik who wasn't able to outspeed it, it fainted. I didn't have any pokemon that were faster than P-Z so i decided to take a bulky way. So Cyril took the next.
He tanked the tri attack and used Hammer arm who almost killed the porygon. I tried another Hammer arm, but Noel Healed his Porygon Z and i missed, letting the Z kill my Cyril. Since when a P-Z can tank super effective hits seriously x)
Mario was next, he used Fake out, and tanked a tri attack, to finaly Kill the P-Z with a close combat. At this point i have 2 pokemons near from the death and 2 still able to battle. I guess that will be harder than expected still....P-Z is a monster.
Lickilicky was next, but i OHKO'd him by Mario's close combat.
Next one was Audino Mega, Heavy Slam damaged it but Dazzling Dream killed Mario. Thanks to Mario who had a Steel type move, i was able to beat Audino.
Josue Came, and his Poison Jab killed Audino.
Finaly, Nomos Aka the Clefable, Noel's Ace came on the Ring. Thanksfully i still had Josue in the ride. Double Poison Jab killed Clefable, giving me the win over Noel.

8gurhjH.png

h7NlnbV.png

VpeTwMK.pngnGXYZxN.png

Well.....As a normal user, i would suggest Miltank instead of the licky thing. Cursetank can be a real nightmare for anyone who doesnt have a counter, give it a set like Body Slam, Curse, Milk Dring, Heal Bell with Scrappy or if you want a more casual set, go for Defense Curl, Rollout, Milk Dring, Body slam while making the cow Thick fat. Well, Lopunny is also something to considerate since it's just a monster in mega, and scrappy will help the team. I guess it would be better than audino. If you really fear fighting that much, put Pidgeot mega instead. ^^

Well, Noel wasn't as hard as Serra, but is still a thing. I love that :3

Sixteenth Rock to Smash : New Friends and.....ARCEUS? OO

So, Noel is out. The kids ran away with Saphira, letting me free to penetrate the Route 1 , that huge Labyrinth. Well, i promised myself to train all fighting pokemons available, and Heracross is at the end of the Labyrinth...So i guess i will have to make it after all.

Well, i cleared it all , i got various items, and in fact that took me 30 min by itself, well there was some battles in the way, like our most loved Asshole il all times, yeah, you guessed right, that's Fern.

I said we weren't born to be boyfriends, stop this bullshit already.

Fern Started with Haxorus while i started with Erik.

Erik used close combat who was tanked by Haxorus. Haxorus came with a Ddance. Fearing that thing would sweep my whole team, i still tried to outspeed it and failed......BUT that focus shash i didnt use was still here and i survived, killing the Haxorus x)
Scizor came, but i switched for Ginpei who wrecked him by fire pledge. Krookodile came and was killed by close combat. Roserade took Fire pledge and fainted.
Sceptile's turn ! He Mega evolved and used Focus Blast, killing Ginpei before it could even move o:
Mario came, used a fake out to buy time and let the burning field eats the Sceptile. Thanks to that burning field, the grass attack from the Sceptile was weaker, so Mario could tank the Sceptile and finish it easily.
Ferrothorn finaly came. But was destroyed by a single close combat, giving me the win over the Dumbass.

Soooo joined the Vanhanen Castel and found Radomus the Creepy hat guy. Well, Cain came and he wanted to fight aswell. Whatever, this is boring, but well if you want.

Just a little thing before going in the fight, you would notice that Poison is my most hated type, and the recurring poison battles are stupid. :3

Rocky VS Muk
Rocky used zen headbutt, wrecking Muk. Samurott came, i used Erik and killed it with leaf blade.
Absol came, despite the sucker punch, i one shotted him by close combat.
Mega Gengar came, i sent Josue whose sucker punch stole 99% of Gengar's life, Gengar used psychic, wrecking my Josue.
Mikael the Heracross came and used rock blast to beat Gengar Mega.
Nidoking Came, i sent Leslie to answer. I setted a rain dance up while nidoking used ice beam, swift Swim activated, making Leslie outspeed the king and OHKO'ed him by an Hydro pump.
Galvantula was next, i sent Erik in response, i used Destiny bond, making the spider faint with me, GG Cain !

Arceus swept my whole team :3
At this point i'm taking out both Rocky and Matter for Cyril and Mario.

Rematch
Mario vs Arceus
Mario used fake out. But couldnt tank a judgment and got wrecked by Arceus.
Moley was next, but Focus blast is a damn thing.
Mikael came, and tanked a jugment, while its close combat delt~40% damages.
Cyril tanked a judgment and hammer arm did another 50% damages.
Josue was killed before it could move.
Erik tanked a Shadow ball with 4 HP left and used close combat to end the Arceus.

One of the big issues I kind of have is that the EVs are split all across the board for Noel through Luna but that doesn't make them weak. If I'm going to bring any old Pokemon back, it'd be Girafarig, but the new Noel is not bad. The other issue is El who could have just about any normal type (I predict Chansey, Smeargle, Snorlax, Miltank, Ditto, and Mega Kangaskhan will be his team).

As for Miltank itself, Licklicky is actually bulkier, but lacks the speed to use its attacks. If that thing had even 40 more speed in BST or this was a double battle, it'd hurt pretty badly. I opted for something I bit faster and stronger, but Miltank could be a backup. Kind of hard to judge against a monotype with a lot of strong pokemon which most of their good moves. I doubt you'll have a hard time with Radomus unless he sets up a trick room due to the neutral damage from Pyschic attacks.

Wait- couldn't Toxicroak Sucker Punch the Arceus to kill it? or did you get rid of Sucker Punch?

At this point i was predicting a Full Restore, that's why i thought a Drain punch would be better than a sucker punch ^^

I like the hypotetical team for El, and i agree about Girafarig for Noel, that will fit his playstyle in the grass. No pokemon are taking advantage of that field though, what a shame o:

You got it for the licky mon, that's true that all my pokemons could OHKO him by close combat, so i didnt feel the pokemon itself, but i guess not all the pokemons can one shot it, making him a tank with the grass heal effect o:

For Radomus....

Seventeenth Rock to Smash, Mind Strategies, Checkmate.

So here we are in Radomus Gym, i like the gym itself since it's chess, and even if i'm not goot at this, i kinda like it. Btw, if someone has a website that i can play chess to train myself, i'd like you to share it :3 Well, so the puzzles arent that difficult once you know who does what, some screens as reminders , and we fight Radomus.

Battle VS Radomus

Junior and ginpei VS Gallade and Reuniculus.

Junior used fake out, boosted by normal gem on Reuniculus, he tanked a knock off from gallade, letting Ginpei put a Nasty plot who was boosted by the chess board.

Junior was boosted by unburden, he used Mega kick on gallade, severely lowering its HP. Ginpei finished Reuniculus by a boosted Fire Pledge , Gallade used close combat, making Junior faint.

At this point i'm sending Erik, my own Gallade, and Radomus sends Metagross.

Radomus used an Hyper potion to heal his Gallade who tanked a night slash from my own Erik, Ginpei crushed Metagross with Fire pledge. Radomus replaced the steel pokemon with Malamar.

Erik won against gallade by using another night slash. Ginpei almost killed Malamar with Fire pledge, but Malamar survived, using psycho cut on Ginpei, almost killing it.

At this point, radomus sends Slowking on the battle board.

Radomus heals his Malamar , allowing him to tank Fire Pledge , Slowking tanked a leaf blade and finished Ginpei by Scald.

Josue comes to replace Ginpei. The team double KO the opponents by using both Drain punch and Leaf Blade.

Gossip Gardevoir came and Mega Evolved, killing both my mons with her Hyper Voice.

I sent Mikael and Moley. Mikael could use Megahorn, wipping almost all Gossip G. 's HP, she used psychic to kill Mikael and was finaly taken down by Moley's Rock Climb.

GG Radomus.

Well , I expected Radomus to be harder, but G.Gardevoir is still a wrecking ball, i got lucky she used psychic instead of Hyper Voice, otherwise i would be fucked like fuck. I guess putting the high priority to Hyper voice, regardless if psychic can do damages, is the best choice for the AI, because it would work if she would have chosen Hvoice.

Well, Next one will be Luna, i'm not expecting that much from this fight, hoping there will be at least some challenge like Serra, Dark Sand team xD

The Team so far.
