>>43338910Five Badges in. Two physical attackers, two special attackers, and two tanks. Cacademon and Eareticle are new editions, replacing Ebolable and Anaconduke respectively. Cacademon was slotted because I needed defensively utility, and 150/79/79 with resistances to fighting and fairy (which my team was extremely weak against). Ebolable's only unique asset was having Glare, since it stopped being able to function as a defensive pivot (yes, this was considered "defensive" by my team standards). Lizakbar does Special-based offense significantly better since Psychic is more useful than Giga Drain with the assloads of poison-types up to this point. Eareticle was also brought along as an anti-Fairy measure and I found a Jolly natured one with 25/31/12/16/26/31 IVs and Compound Eyes. Anaconduke has been too inconsistent in netting KOs in story battles and was extremely frail due to getting a Gentle nature, and Scythear does "go first and trash everything with high BP attacks" far better.
Other notes: Fell Stinger does not reward an attack boost on KO, and the wiki is extremely bad and out of date where I'm half-tempted to fix the move list for the mons I've swapped in and out so far.
