Beating Solaris's Garchomp, this time without the cheese

[Aeodyn 18]

Been doing a mono-fairy run, and turns out Shiinotic wrecks Garchomp. Honestly hilarious.

Steps:

1. Start with a terrain move to remove the buff on Fire Fang.
   • I used Misty Terrain on Whimsicott, though something else with Quick Claw could work too.
2. When the lead dies, bring in Shiinotic.
3. Strength Sap × 6
4. Spore
5. Leech Seed
6. Giga Drain with Spore as needed
7. ???
8. Profit

That's an amazing strat! I just used endeavor and chipped away the last bit of damage. How many times did you have to soft reset for this to work?

When I did my Eeveelutions run I used the priority from Baby-Doll Eyes to lower it's Atk x6, then Cursed up.

 

It's awesome when you find actual strategies to beat these fights that doesn't involved Perish Song or a Destiny Bond!

Thanks! I think I reset twice? I originally was just thinking of trying Leach Seed, but then I wanted to see if Cotton Guard would be enough, and finally this happened mostly by accident. XD

Oh wow I completely forgot about that move; nice!
