>>56398755Route 119 Brendan was next, and he has a Mega Swampert, but I've accounted for this
Scarf Manectric Volt Switch kills Swellow and brings Pelipper in safely, for the purpose of setting up the rain (since sometimes it rains on the route, this time I needed it to) and for baiting Vikavolt
We predict the Thunder coming from a mile away, switch Emolga in to nullify it with Lightning Rod, Encore it to get another Sp Atk boost, forcing Vikavolt to switch out, and we start blasting stuff with Hurricane
It even did a ton of damage to Brendan's Swampert on the switch in, confusing it even (which is what took it out) but I was fully prepared to have Cloyster duel with it
The fun part was facing off against Mimikyu, as Mega Banette has a very specific combination of Prankster and the moves Imprison and Play Rough, so we get to lock Mimikyu out of using its own Play Rough
And since Banette is part Normal-type here... it becomes completely immune to Mimikyu's Ghost-type attacks (and its Shadow Sneak would've been locked out anyway)
Kommo-o duked it out with Arcanine, and that's the game
I've finally made it to Fortree City, so I can rest easy for now, then start preparing to head to Lilycove City and get some more encounters along the way
