>>48584670>Mysterious FiguresWould love to say out of the frying pan, but this is arguably even fucking harder.
I'm not going to play by play since it was an incredibly long 12v12 fight - basically, you fight two of your friends, Melia and Aelita, while brainwashed, and you're supposed to figure out you're brainwashed and take down the partner (the evil character brainwashing you) and deliberately lose, but that's a no-go by my rules.
What this amounted to was me swapping Intimidate mons and Thievul (whose held item allows it to lower Special Attack on switchin) to cripple the opponents while the partner was a fucking moron, didn't follow what I was doing at all (taking down Melia's stronger team first so we could dual team Aelita), often targeting the wrong mon, or just dying. It got to the point where I was actually at the mercy of a 2v1 because of how absolutely fucking retarded the partner is, against Aelita's Alolan Golem and Melia's mons. I actually left the Golem alive since it's Attack was so low from all the Intimidates and slowly, painfully had to sack mons, some really useful and cherished mons for me by the way, to kill off the remainder of Melia's team. Then I killed the Golem off, thankfully it never got a crit or anything stupid.
This fucking game.
Anyway, back to sidequesting.
>Challenger VenusNot going to play by play either - this is a Big Top Arena, where Oricorio gets a special attack and speed boost everytime it uses a dance move. She leads with a Luxray, so I go with the electric type Oricorio, FeatherDance to cripple, and sweep her team, keeping healthy with Roost and taking out her Steelix with Hidden Power Water.
