>>44812340Boy did I fuck up. Grant's gym was a cakewalk up until Grant himself. I'd forgotten that his team was level 25, and wow. It was a massacre.
Lead with Rider, whose special defense is amazing, to set up Reflect, hoping that Grant would lead with an Icy Wind or something like that, but no. Rock Tomb, OHKO. Fuck, okay. Send in Slab from some revenge and take his amaura down in two chops. Tyrunt comes out. it's faster than Slab, so Low Sweep to try and lower speed. One doesn't slow it down enough, and it just spams Stomp, flinching Slab twice, potion, crit Stomp and Slab is dead. Send out Titania, cuz this is her job, right? Stomp, flinch, Rock Tomb crit and she's dead. Bring out Mulcher to whittle it down with Leech Seed and hopefully poison. Bite and Stomp flinches cancel the poison idea, but the seed is working and keeping Mulcher mostly in the fight. Tyrunt gets in the red and Grant hyper potions, but Mulcher gets the Posion Powder off. I go for Venoshock, but am outsped and Mulcher takes a crit Stomp and dies. Hayabusa finishes tyrunt off, but goddamn that was brutal.
Get the reserves out. Teach Medusa Rock Smash and get Krag the Dwebble. Teach Krag Strength, head back to the Berry Fields on Route 7 and get lucky with a shaking tree. Confetti the Spewpa is caught and we press on through Route 10. Team Flare is no trouble, but I lose Dharma to a golett's Shadow Punch. Catch Big O the Golett, and head back out towards Geosenge.
It's been a bit, but does anyone else remember X/Y being this crit happy, or is this just my shit luck?
