>>54881810>munchlax comes out after doduo. kricketune dies in three rock tombs if doduo didnt attack, dies in two hits if doduo did attack. >another kricketune finishes munchlax, taking one or two rock tombs in the process>lilipup comes out fourth and outspeeds kricketune. kricketune oneshots with bug buzz if he gets to attack. ledyba twoshots with mach punch>deerling is fifth, easy to kill with anyone due to being bug weak but is fast and dangerous with potential flinch hax>last is aipom, who is even faster but does fairly little damageThere is a lot of rng for this fight, particularly when cheren decides to use work up or attack. doduo using work up is very good for me, munchlax using work up is very bad. munchlax missing a rock tomb also makes a big difference. handing out oran berries to each kricketune comes in clutch in many scenarios. I do not think there is any way to do this without sacrificing sewaddle to doduo, and i am absurdly lucky to have three kricketunes including one that outspeeds doduo. I can win most of the time but even with such good luck its a crapshoot and I am all but guaranteed to at the bare minimum lose sewaddle and my fast kricketune.
If I overlevel, my next significant moves are venonat learning sleep powder at 16, another tool against munchlax. ledyba gets a slight upgrade with aerial ace at 16. my slower kricketunes possibly get enough speed to outspeed doduo and deerling. next evolution is ledyba into ledian at 18. Pic rel are my survives for attempts 2 - 5, with 1 being a loss to Cheren. Not sure yet which I will keep to continue with or if I will try it a few more times. Looking onwards to Roxie, the mon I want most to survive is Venonat. Kricketune loses a lot of value since everything roxie has resists bug. Maybe tomorrow I will try to work out a strategy that keeps venonat alive consistently.
