>>56355326The first time I did this, I got Crit TWICE in a row by Shelly's Mega Beedrill, and it was a range to kill what I had at the time (thankfully it lived, but I ended up losing Luxray and Eelektross then)
This time...
We went in with a clear plan:
Pelipper undoes the Hail with its Rain, slow U-turns out into Ferrothorn, both equipped with an Aspear Berry to avoid Blizzard freezing (and wouldn't you know it, Ferrothorn got frozen, but that's why I planned for it)
Then it's mostly just a matter of exchanging blows
I got to use Twineedle for the first time in my life, as Cloyster learns it, and it has just enough power to one shot her Crawdaunt after a Shell Smash
Goodra and Aegislash both hard carried this battle on their backs though, with Goodra tanking Ludicolo and Empoleon without breaking a sweat, and it could've gone toe to toe with Clefable too
But Aegislash was the key, because that Mega Beedrill is very scary
Hell, I brought in Dragonite in the hopes of eating a hit with Multiscale if need be, but the Atk drops from Aegislash's King's Shield was more than enough
And when you drop the attacking stats of an enemy, they'll switch out
Catch Shelly's Clefable on the switch with Iron Head, and then it's just Beedrill; with nowhere to run, the Atk drops accumulate onto Beedrill
A Crit Drill Run doesn't even one shot Shield Form Aegislash, but even if it did, Cloyster (with Shell Armour) would have finished the job
This was the fight that was a bit of a wake up call my first time around, but this time, we planned and executed better
