(rock tomb and crit on that thang) i'm sorry this is just who I am as a person unfortunately
March 23, 2025 at 7:01 AM
Dragapult down.

Am I on Charizard already? Wow.

Really noticing how not-balanced-for-Leon this team is. Not much helping that. I guess it's time for Ginuwine to try to Rock Tomb this thing?
March 23, 2025 at 6:38 AM
Madame Spritz almost, but did not quite, one-shot Dragapult. I was expecting Leon to use a potion, and then I could get a hit and then...??? idk what the plan was.

Au revoir, Madame Spritz.

The plan is now remembering that oh hey Lt. Snuggles knows Brutal Swing. Let's do that.
March 23, 2025 at 6:35 AM
Dragapult next. Going to keep Madame Spritz in. I think I had planned on using Miss Piggy maybe, but I feel like if I swap her in now I'm probably going to have take two Flamethrowers before I can do anything. But Madame Spritz is 1000% slower than Dragapult. So. idk.

I FORGOT FAIRY WAS FULLY IMMUNE TO DRAGON THIS IS FANTASTIC. HAXORUS DOWN LET'S GOOO
March 23, 2025 at 6:21 AM
Well shit. That didn't work. Fast bastard dragon.

Haxorus has 1-2 more turns of Outrage left. I should be able to get in a hit or two with Madame Spritz before she dies.
March 23, 2025 at 6:14 AM
One Earthquake took down Cinderace. Haxorus next. I think actually Major Bubbles and Ice Punch is going to be my best bet here. Fingers crossed...!
March 23, 2025 at 6:09 AM
loljk I thought it might be a good idea to keep Major Bubbles for Charizard backup. Miss Piggy hadn't taken damage yet so I kept her in.
March 23, 2025 at 6:09 AM
Leon used a Full Restore. On the next Ice Fang, I froze it again I'm not even kidding. Seismitoad down. Cinderace next. I think Major Bubbles has got this one. Let's find out.
March 23, 2025 at 6:04 AM
Danger Bacon took out Aegislash with two Fire Lashes. Leon then sent out his Seismitoad, which I realized I also had no counter for. After some agonizing, I sent out Miss Piggy.

I Ice Fanged and immediately froze the Seismitoad. First hit. Lmaoooo.
March 23, 2025 at 6:02 AM
My issue right now don't have a good counter for Leon's Charizard. If I lose this team, I don't know how I'm going to finish the run. I guess I'm just going to teach a bunch of dudes Rock Tomb and hope for the best. Wish me luck.
March 23, 2025 at 4:30 AM
And that's where I am now.

Currently the team is Madame Spritz, Ginuwine, Danger Bacon, Lt. Snuggles, Miss Piggy (a Swinub, now Mamoswine, from Hammerlocke Hills) and Major Bubbles (the gift Squirtle from the DLC).

RIP Mr. Crowley.

I am sure by now that I'm about to wipe. I send in Ginuwine and, somehow, despite getting Hypnosis'd like three times, I beat Gengar.

Then it was time for more Chairman Rose shenanigans, which resolved without incident.

There's just Leon left now.
March 23, 2025 at 4:30 AM
Mr. Crowley ended up taking out Polteageist and Cursola. Just Gengar left.

My team now is Mr. Crowley, Lt. Snuggles, and Ginuwine, who I'm afraid to send out because I've realized that Lt. Snuggles doesn't have any attacks that will hit a ghost type. Time to keep Mr. Crowley in and hope...
March 23, 2025 at 4:30 AM
But, like, Serj has definitely got this taken care of. Definitely. Surely.

Not if RNG has anything to say about it.

RIP, Serj.
March 23, 2025 at 4:30 AM
I thought, it's okay, Zoomie-chan knows Bite, surely Zoomie-chan's got this.

Nope.

RIP, Zoomie-chan.
March 23, 2025 at 4:30 AM
Finals time. Bede and Nessa were trivial. I was feeling good headed into the fight with Allister. Dusknoir and Chandelure went down with minimal trouble.

And then there was Polteageist.

I was sure that Sting would take care of it, and he might have, but...

RIP, Sting.
March 23, 2025 at 4:30 AM
I thought I would do a little bit more grinding before heading into the finals. I headed out to Route 10 where I was chased down by a Beartic, who murdered King Croak with an unlucky Sheer Cold. Devastated. RIP, King Croak.
March 23, 2025 at 4:30 AM
On to Wyndon. On Route 10, I picked up and evolved a Mr. Mime (Prime Minister Mime). I had also picked up a Bewear (Lieutenant Snuggles) from Axew's Eye in the Wild Area.

The semi-finals were easy. Danger Bacon, with a little help from Lt. Snuggles, took care of the whole Chairman Rose thing.
