I guess this is what I deserve for leeroy jenkins it but in all honesty, I am proud of the team for making it that far despite being so underpowered and underleveled. Easily one of the most fun and intense E4 runs I had, every single battle came down to the wire.
Wu carried the team hard, dodging attacks with the Lax Incense and Toxic+Protect every ace pokemon in the E4. Without him the run would've probably ended in Sidney with how little damage everyone else was doing and it effectively ended the moment he died.
Pearl with Rain Dance+Ice Beam was not as reliable as I'd have hoped but it got the job done for the most part. I really wish Shell Smash were a Gen 3 move.
Udki was definitely the muscle of the operation. Every KO Pearl could not pick up, he handled with ease. Pretty much the core strategy for every fight ended up being opening with Perl to take as many enemy pokemon as possible, switching to Udki to hit hard until he was in the red and then have Wu stall the last pokemon for the win.
If I had to blame someone besides me for losing, it was definitely Rik. Pretty much every death was in some way related to him. He failed to kill Walrein, so I had to switch in Sol. He failed to kill Kindra, so I had to sacrifice Koa. He couldn't touch Whiscash, so I had to switch in Pearl and he didn't kill Tentacruel which lead to Wu dying and Udki dropping to red Health.
I still have some mons in the box so the run is not quite over yet but I am definitely going to take my time with the grind.
