>>51936152After all the prep, this is what we're going with for the E4.
Aaron should've been trivial with Firedash and Plague, however Plague somehow ended up alarmingly low early on, and Plague only lived a Sniper Crit from Drapion thanks to Affection bullshit.
There was never a world where Bertha accomplishes anything. Maplethorpe demolishes the entire team in about 6 turns.
Flint is more obnoxious than hard. I slap a Chesto Berry on Cancelled and EQ Rapidash, Lopunny has nothing on Plague, and missed High Jump Kick on switch, trivializing him further. The rest of the fight is dealing with Drifblim's Minimize Baton Passing with a combination of funny stall, Haze and Leech Seed.
I replace Hone Claws on Chisel with Substitute as I won't be needing it going forward.
Lucian is the real issue. Mr. Mime is handled by Princen't, and despite my expectations, does not set up Screens, opting for weak Psychics instead. The idea was to pivot into Chisel and stall the screens vs. Medicham if needed and fish for that High Jump Kick miss, but from here we can go directly to Plague and one-shot. Alakazam will outspeed Plague, so instead of U-Turning, we switch to Chisel directly and one-shot with Night Slash. Girafarig has nothing to beat an Amnesiac fish with, so we slowly take it apart. Bronzong might as well not be a real Pokemon.
We've made it. All the way to the end of BD. Just Cynthia remaining. But that's a story for another post.
