>>56899803Yeah, 52 might be a little too high for a challenge, though next time I won't be able to use Pickup Rare Candies after Drake. Sydney was a little tricky as Gliscor's (Hariyama's) nature meant it only outsped a few things, but still a relatively easy sweep. Arctozolt (Shiftry) was set to sweep against Phoebe, but a turn 1 Curse mean that I sorta flailed against her team. Archaludon (Torkoal) nearly died to a crit from her Dusclop's Earthquake which is a little funny as that specific mon critting with Earthquake is how I lost my Valiant (Blaziken) last run which made me wipe to Glacia. Luckily it didn't have Thunderbolt as well, so Pecharunt (Pelipper) was able to destroy that monster and Arctozolt managed to come in on a Banette and win. Gliscor managed to sweep Glacia, but nearly got hit by a Sheer Cold. I sorta "cheated" a little by burning Hawlucha (Swellow) with wild Slugma before heading in. If you could pregame burn, Swellow would most likely be an Ubers mon thanks to Guts+Facade. Took out Shelgon but Flygon barely lived and used Sandstorm. Barely lived again after a Full Restore and after the Altaria, the chip damage was too much to keep Hawlucha in. Swapped to Pecharunt, which got burned from a Flamethrower, took 2 turns of burn chip, a Dragon Breath from the other Flygon, and survived a Dragon Claw from Salamence barely. If I forgot to pick up Nevermelt Ice before, there might be a chance that Ice Beam wouldn't ohko and Pecharunt would've died to Burn damage. Considering she nearly sweeped Steven's team (after a few Rare Candies that Arceus (Linoone) blessed us with) and only died to Hyper Beam, I think it might've mattered. Sad to see her go, as she was the mvp in the second half of the game. Archaludon picked up the final kill and my first run of Gen 3 is complete (and now Zigzagoon/Linoone won't take up half my encounters)
