>>56368171This might be the silliest fight I ever had Vs Brock. Many small things went awry.
>GeodudePolly uses Pocket Sand on it thrice, as it Tackles, Defense Curls, and then misses a tackle. I send in The Stiff next on a Defense Curl. Geodude then misses one tackle and hits another as The Stiff Hardens.
The Stiff then scores a Confusion crit as Geodude Defense Curls, meaning Geodude falls the next turn after that.
> OnixBide isn't priority this gen, so I can just get a Confusion in for free since I'm faster, right? Wrong! Onix seemingly wins a speed tie and uses Bide. That's not too bad, just avoid attacking past the first Confusion and everything is fine...
>Critical HitAnd suddenly things are dire. Bide now kills any member of my team if unleashed. I can only hope for either another crit, or a 3 turn Bide. I fire off a second Confusion, but no luck this turn- no crit, and Onix hits back, putting The Stiff into a casket.
Guess I was tempting fate with that name.I send in Brat next.
Onix still has enough HP to last a bunch of turns thanks to how little damage I do with Rattata, so I go for Tail Whip twice as Onix Tackles. I have Brat Quick Attack after that to pretty small effect still, and Onix then begins to Bide.
Two Tail Whips during the Bide, then one as it unleashes. Pretty sure Quick Attack can KO now... and a critical hit, ignoring the defense drops and letting Onix Screech at Brat. Brilliant.
Quick Attack hits again, and this time there's no crit. Onix finally goes down.
I think is the only time I've ever lost a mon to Brock in a Nuzlocke.
