>>56907714"Post-game" Cheren update! This fight can actually be a bit scary because he's packing Held Items unlike almost every other fight in the game.
>Vs Cheren>LiepardIt uses Fake Out on Kole, hurting itself on the Rocky Helmet.
Next it uses Night Slash, and Kole sets up Stealth Rock.
A Night Slash Crit actually does some real damage, and a Bulldoze misclick lets Liepard survive one a sliver and use its Sitrus Berry.
It Shadow Claws Kole, who Rests.
Another Night Slash into the Rocky Helmet makes the Liepard KO itself.
>SamurottI send Merida in Leftovers in on a Hydro Pump, which does a fair bit of damage, which Leftovers patch up a little.
I get a bit lucky as Samurott misses two Hydro Pumps in a row, letting Merida take out the sea lion with two X-Scissors.
>SimisearI send The Nix in on Flamethrower.
The Nix Works himself Up, taking a Brick Break to the face.
He then KOs the Simisear with Expert Belt Surf.
>GigalithSurf oneshot.
>HaxorusIce Beam oneshot.
>UnfezantAnother Ice Beam oneshot, and Cheren is done. Only Cynthia and the second run of the Elite 4 left.
Fun little tidbit, I was planning to use Flame Charge on Edelgard the Darmanitan, but then I realized Sheer Force is gonna prevent that. I still want a speedy Darm, so I had Edelgard beat up on a metric ton of Purrloin while wearing the Macho Brace. One makes do.
