Doing a Radical Red mono-ice type run. Just beat Surge, here's a lazily slapped together team pic. This is not a nuzlocke as well, but last thread I was told general challenge runs also fit here.
As is probably clear, I was forced to use my 3 rare candies to push my small bear from a Lvl 34 (the cap pre-surge) Cubchoo to a level 37 Beartic. This was necessary for him to outspeed Surges Boltund, which otherwise was a total wall that completely fucked my team. It outsped everything and OHKOd everything with fire fang, except Cloyster who was 2hkod by thunder fang instead. The moment that Boltund went down, the fight was a breeze, but that wasn't possible without sacrificing 3 rare candies.
The only other noteworthy fight so far was Bugsy, who wiped me over and over with that Scizor of his. I did achieve victory eventually, but it was messy.
