>>29931540So admittedly, I made a mistake right from the get go.
I vastly underestimated this thing, like even from before I even got to the trial I was tunnel vision on Wishiwashi in the rain being the main totem battle to watch out for.
I started the battle with Torracat and I won't lie, I expected to 1 shot this thing with my Z fire move and be done with it.
That never happened though.
Lurantis survived the Z move on 1/4 health, used Synthesis to heal almost to full and summoned a Castform to aid it.
This was already the beginning of the end for me, and I can tell you right now that the correct play would have more than likely have been to hold onto the Z move until I had done about half of its health in damage.
The castform hit hard. Really hard actually, I was surprised as fuck by its headbutt doing near enough half of my Torracats health.
I used one of my 3 potions here and got Torracat to full.
Next turn.
Lurantis uses Solar Blade, and lo and behold it was holding a Power Herb. Great. Even despite it being resisted, it still did 3/4 of my Torracat's health and the following Headbutt from Castform finished it off.
I then brought in my Trumbeak and started firing off Plucks (best flying move I had unfortunately).
Long story short, Lurantis spammed Synthesis every turn whilst Castform headbutted away, whittling me down.
I then was forced to use another potion, which got my Trumbeak to full, but that's when everything turned to shit even more.
Castform used fucking Sunny Day. Lurantis (who is still on full health at this point mind you) used Solar Blade again. And yet again combined with headbutt from castform my pokemon dies again.
I bring in Charjabug but unfortunately it doesn't accomplish much. Fucking Lurantis kept healing when I hit it so I shot off two hits on castform, bringing it in the red before Solar Blade + fucking Weather ball ended my Charjabug.
