>>48799114Another boss rush, yay.
>BrendanTeam - Gengar, Nihilego, Magearna, Deoxys-A, Urshifu-Rapid, Mega Sceptile. Really..fucking random, but okay. Spiritomb takes out the lead Sashed Gengar, Magearna gets taken down by Centiskorch, then on Urshifu-Rapid, well, I had Body Slam, and Brendan kept on swapping into different mons to get paralyzed so Gyarados could easily follow up and kill them (and in Deoxy's case, just get one shot). So...easy enough, I guess.
>Gym Leader RematchesNot worth going over them in detail - Appletun took down Brock thanks to allowing me to set up 6 Withdraws, Surge I had to play carefully around his new toy Zekrom before Lanturn was able to troll the remainder of his team, Misty was probably the hardest but thanks to my new weapon Mega Swampert it did exceedingly well in her permanent rainy battlefield. Erika is unnecessary and also gives no decent rewards, the Snivy she gives doesn't get Contrary in Hardcore so sadly useless.
>Juggler HaydenFirst juggler in Koga's gym. Team - Mr. Mime, Hatterene, Electrode, Turtonator, Silvally, Volcanion, permanent misty terrain. His gimmick is that each mon knows an exploding move. Sadly, while I do have the TM for Protect, in Hardcore you cannot teach it to anything.
Aegislash kills Mime, swap to Donphan on Electrode's explosion, then Knock Off Hatterene then EQ as I changed my ability to Sturdy so it doesn't see a kill with Misty Explosion. Out's Turtonator, I swap to Damp Swampert and kill. Silvally gets baited into Exploding on Aegislash with a swap to Bisharp, then Volcanion gets baited into exploding on Spiritomb with Shuca Berry Tentacruel.
Clean as fuck.
>>48799253Good fucking job anon, that's a real accomplishment, I'm also assuming you didn't optimize EVs or anything. Where would you place it overall on the difficulty rankings?
Also really funny it's much easier to get a Snorlax, at least they fixed that.
>>48799752Isn't the EXP share also a bitch to play around?
