>RubyNo trouble here, both May and Watson were pushover thanks to fighting chicken. Mawile is surprisingly useful despite his lack of STAB
>SapphireWatson was a pushover thanks to Alexander's Mud Shot, but Shroomish died to May's Grovyle. I didn't expect to use Pursuit, but it one shot it.
>EmeraldHoo boy, so here I was, with no way to beat Watson in my mind. Until I realized that Shedinja would be great against him, right?
So my strategy was to teach Rock Smash to Shedinja and through it, defeat the Steel types, while Fury Cutter got everything else, unable to be hit.
Well Voltorb apparently knows Rollout and destroyed my whole strategy in one turn. Both of my carries so far perished, until I came up with the Yawn + Amnesia combo of Teriyaki, which made her able to defeat the gym while resisting everything.
Emerald was so close to a second wipe, whew.
