Cyrus was a doozy. Cynthia heals you up right after fighting him so you won't see the damage. Here's the greentext version:
>Lead Rotom, assuming he leads Gyarados because I have no defensive Gyarados answers>He leads goddamn Houndoom, forced into Empoleon>Expect Fire Blast, actually goes for Wisp>thatwentwell.jpg>Goes into Gyarados>I go into Staraptor for Intimidate, he goes for EQ, I look like a boss>2HKO with Return and tank a -1 Ice Fang>He goes Weavile and actually 1v1s Empoleon with crit Night Slashes + burn and I can't OHKO with Metal Claw anymore>Forced into Machamp to handle that>Goes Crobat, since Empoleon is weakened I'm forced to pray he doesn't have Giga Drain and deal with it with Rhydon, which gets poisoned>Miraculously hit a Stone Edge through Air Slash>Rhydon is at half health and poisoned>In comes Honchkrow>Whole team is weakened, go for the hail mary Stone Edge>Tank a Psychic and connectI'm not even worried about Volkner. I'm open to changing around the team for the Elite 4 since there's some obvious weaknesses but I'm generally happy with it, especially with veterans like Staraptor and Roserade.

>>38777551Not a bad idea. For pre-Victory Road grinding I usually prefer Route 223 but that sounds good for earlier grinding. Luckily Houndoom didn't end up doing much at all besides crippling Empoleon for Weavile. I am aware that my team has a big fire weakness and I'm thinking about going double water for Flint.
>>38777789Controversial opinion but I'm okay with it. I've got an illegal Remoraid to evolve Mantyke before. I have a bigger issue with using Regis in a nuzlocke but whatever floats your boat.
