>>54733404Been unable to update for a while, but here we go.
A good chunk of my mons actually ended up a level above Larry's ace, but I did enter his gym challenge below the level cap, so its fine.
My starter finally evolved, too.
>Vs Larry >KomalaI have Pocus use Taunt(predicting a Yawn), but she gets Slammed.
The plan is to get an Aqua Step and maybe two Bulk Up in,and then either KO the opponent or Baton Pass.I go for a Bulk Up... and an immediate Slam Crit puts any plans of setting up much more stuff on hold.
An Aqua Step leaves Komala in the red, and Slam put Pocus very low too. Taunt wears off.
Pocus Baton Passes to Uzi, surely the Komala is going for a finisher on Pocus and won't Yawn?
It yawns, because of course it does.
Keeping the buffs isn't worth the sleep, so Uzi U-Turns, letting Muffet in as the Komala is KO'd.
>DudunsparceIt Glares at Muffet, who Lunges at it in return.
Then Dudunparce starts Hyper Drilling Muffet, who once again Lunges.
Dudunsparce keeps Drilling Muffet, who gets Fully Paralyzed.
One more Drilling is about what Muffet can handle without dying to a potential crit, so I have her U-Turn out and let The Mariner take the field.
Dudunsparce is in the red, so an Air Slash easily cleans it up.
>A bit more of a show (Staraptor Tera Normal)The Mariner fires off a TeraThunderbolt(I completely forgot his Staraptor wasn't flying anymore, really big brained), and Staraptors Facade buffed by Tera does a a lot.
A final Thunderbolt finishes Larry off.
