>>48800603>I'm also assuming you didn't optimize EVs or anythingOnly thing I did was use berries to reset the useless attacking stats like Gyarados' Special attack to 0 EV, and I did play with Exp.Share on so I could have a big rotating team that I could team build with in important battles. Other than that no, not really. But being a Hardcore Nuzlocke I did look up some movesets here, wouldn't have made it if this list didn't exist:

By the criteria in the difficulty list in OP (with overleveling allowed and such) I would put it between HGSS and SMUSUM with Exp. Share. But keep in mind that the league alone sits in in the Top 3 Hardest at the very least.
