>>47764237Darmanitan got in, finished the job, and with a heavy heart, I took Bisharp back out of the box to join me for the final fight.
Marshal destroyed Electivire, Lapras, and Stoutland, but we managed to get out alive.
Bisharp and Excadrill wiped the floor with the rest, with some assistance from Darmanitan.
Against Iris, I enacted my plan: a Fighting Gem boosted Superpower to destroy Hydreigon. It Crit anyway. Aggron was next, missed Head Smash, and I felt like I had a chance. Some more Superpowers, despite the stat drops, won the day. Lapras took out Darmanitan but my GOD did he go down fighting.
I was able to paraflinch Lapras with Bisharp and get out unscathed. I actually can't remember how I dealt with Druddigon but I think its Focus Blast missed, thank fucking God.
Haxorus was next, so I made sure to use Thunder Wave. I tried to flinch again with Iron Head but sadly, that was curtains.
HOWEVER! It was in Earthquake range from Excadrill, who finished it off.
And a single Iron Head against Archeops won the day.
I did it... I finished my first Nuzlocke. This yet again proves how much I fucking love Excadrill, what an absolute beast.
I still meant what I said: it's been fun. It's been very fun, and I was victorious. It was a learning experience for sure, but I learned a lot, I was able to adapt, and while at times it just felt like I just got plain lucky, I was still able to win.
I was honestly ready to lose, but I kept going with whatever strategies I had left. And... I did it.
