>>52793062Decided to activate the Kofu events and go to the Marinada auctions early, but I underestimated Kofu's underling Hugo, who took out Blue Suede with his Floatzel.
The fight against Iono was the last big one I did before Christmas, and boy, I completely screwed it up.
>Vs IonoI had planned on beating her whole squad with Bulk Up Terastal Black Belt Hariyama... but somehow I forgot her first mon was
>WattrelDespite my mistake, I decide to double down and muscle through the bird. Jock Terastalizes as he Fakes the bird Out.
However, Air Slash does some decent damage next turn and Knock Off doesn't finish the bird off, meaning another turn of the same two moves follow, but Wattrel finally falls.
>BelliboltI no longer have the health or time to setup Bulk Ups, so I go directly for Force Palm. Bellibolt takes less than half, Charges up, and hits decently hard with Spark. If I don't swap Jock out, I'm losing here.
I send in Sceccu for free on Spark. Two Bulldozes deal with the frog, but not without a Water Gun crit doing nasty damage inbetween.
>LuxioIt intimidates Sceccu. A Bite does fairly insignificant damage, and two Bulldozes in a row takes out the cat.
>Lil' Lightbulb MismagiusSceccu almost gets reduced to red health by Hex, but gets a Strength in.
I swap in the mon I hope will be able to patch my mistakes: Ezy Rider. Hex does nothing.
Ezy Rider hits the Lightbulb with Breaking Swipe, doing really good damage. Sadly, Ezy gets hit by a Confuse Ray as well.
He hits himself, and Mismagius uses Charge Beam(SpA up!).
Another Breaking Swipe lands, putting Iono's ace into the red, but Charge Beam powers Mismagius up further.
I don't really have a safe switchin bar Sceccu(but I'm a bit frazzled at this point and his low health keeps me from picking him), so I stick with Ezy.
Sadly, he hit himself again, and the Charge Beam does just enough to down the lizard.
Douce Dame comes in to avenge him, and finishes the fight with Ice Shard.
