>>34341980Probably because May has a nice triangle of effectiveness with Fire, Water, and Grass in this fight. The Slugma, Numel, and Wailmer likely threw some people off since there's no way for the player to have one by that point. Also her team varies quite a bit between starters chosen and which version is played. Players whose have Marshtomp can easily remember the struggle of being 4x weak to Grovyle's stab recovery move Absorb, which at 6x effectiveness, is extremely deadly. Even Werster has gone on record saying this fight is the most difficult for any speedrun in the mainline games.
