>>54864881Needed the thread to stay alive to write my update.
I ended up choosing Absol over Vanillish, I figured stacking the team against Iris wouldn't mean much if we lose stuff on the way because we don't have an answer to the E4. Having a crit build with Nightslash/Psycho Cut + Super Luck + Scope Lense is fun too.
Unfortunately, BW2 Victory Road doesn't fuck around and I found out the hard way. Trainers pull out a surprising amount of coverage, constantly catching me by surprise. Had to fight a Sigilyph with Bushido's Ice Beam because Rockstar was hurt, and ended up going down to a crit from Air Slash. Really sucks because I really wanted to bring another starter to the end, and losing him on the final stretch is extra painful.
I'm lucky it didn't get any worse too. I was gonna stay in with Flygon on another Sigilyph battle but decided to switch to Chandelure to share XP at the last moment, turns out it had ice beam so that was a near miss. I also didn't realise I was at the end when the rival battle came up, but luckily had Aggron out first. Could've easily lost two more mons right at the end.
Decided to train Twinkle the Starmie as the final member, because at this point I just want something strong to take that final spot.
I'll fight the league when I get home. Movesets will probably change a lot during the league to suit each fight.
>>54862694Probably Pikachu, since Ampharos will just hit much harder and Raikou will take Pikachu's place as the fast one anyway.
>>54861199A gym leader's Ace is probably the worst thing to get randomized into a Mewtwo. Good job not losing anymore. RIP to Minireenas though.
>>54859128>>54857761Those are some nice additions. Calm Mind Musharna & Dragon Dance Haxorus are fantastic sweepers. Haxorus swept Ghetsis singlehandedly in my Black run.
