>>47601718gardenia defeated. she was insultingly easy - substitute on crobat is absolutely broken against her. as the AI likes using status moves against high HP, healthy targets, it just wastes time trying to hit these against a substitute. bellossom died, roserade died but broke the sub, tangela just used stun spore against the sub then died, breloom died, grotle died, and cherrim died. i used leech life to keep my hp high but i didn't really need it.
mars was a slightly bigger issue thanks to her bronzor getting quite lucky against my quilava and her purugly getting a bit handsy with a crit or two, but nothing fatal.
>>47602424thanks bro, and yeah, ren plat is hard but it's well balanced by just how much shit it gives you. doesn't feel like a chore
>>47602569yeah, that really caught me off guard too. F anon, better luck on the next run
>>47602394really is obnoxious the game gives you so few options to handle roxanne and wattson, the one part of hoenn that sucks for challenge runs
>>47603617i'm personally playing with gifts since i'm relatively new. as far as i can see though people use gifts because that's what the game literally hands you, randomization isn't necessarily a part of runs (like, would you complain that frlg always gives you guaranteed magikarp, gastly, snorlax, and lapras?). it's just what you feel comfortable using imo
i also would not worry at all about what pokemon challenges does, at all, his 'best nuzlocker' shit is purely marketing. reminder people have already beaten emerald kaizo and he's on attempt 150
>>47604965i don't think you even need to grind for surge with a diglett on the team lmao
