>>45127402Got the first badge. However, we lost some guys to get it.
>VS GeodudeVivian the Budew set up a Growth and took a bit of damage from Rock Throw. However, one Mega Drain was more than enough to finish Geodude.
>VS OnixI set up one more Growth to get ready for Cranidos, but Onix's Screech made me nervous about having Vivian out when Cranidos comes in.
I swap to Duxor the Psyduck. Onix sets up Stealth Rock and gets a light hit in before I destroy it with Water Gun.
>VS CranidosDuxor's Water Gun does just a little less than half Cranidos's max HP, but a Pursuit followed by a Headbutt does too much damage.
>Duxor is DEAD.Vivian jumps in ready to go and gets smashed by a crit Headbutt
>Vivian is DEAD.I'm not confident Cidal the Monferno can finish Cranidos with a single Mach Punch, so I put in Hoslo the Starly to do just a little bit of damage with Quick Attack. He, too, falls to the mighty Headbutt.
>Hoslo is DEAD.In comes Cidal to end this fight. Roark uses a Potion as I follow up with two Mach Punches to finish the battle.
>>45128902>>45129349Platinum is a challenge for sure. I have some rebuilding to do.
>>45129362Old champs were teams I ran back in 2014-15 or so. Even though I've more or less started with a clean slate in 2019, I may come up with some rule in a future run that concerns old champs.
