>>48917783>Courtney A tag battle with May, fairly dangerous fight but not too terrible. Palossand was key here, as it gets Sand Stream in this hack and Courtney + her accompanying grunt use sun. I killed the grunt's team with Palossand/Araquanid as Courtney brought May to her last mon Mimikyu, then Crabominable and Mimikyu cleaned up Courtney's team.
>TabithaPalossand set up some Iron Defenses on his lead Gigalith, then I killed it, Darmanitan and Steelix no issue. On Gliscor, I planned for Oricorio to FeatherDance it down, then have Crabominable kill, but it just kept spamming Wing Attack instead of Toxic or something nasty so I let Oricorio have the win.
>MaxieBit tricky. I lead A-Golem to set up stealth rocks and wall his Crobat to hell and back. It has U-Turn, but just chose to spam Cross Poison as I kill it. This baits in Camerupt for whom I need a +Spe nature on Araquanid to barely outspeed to kill with Dive, Bewear walls his Choice Scarf Zweilous and he tries swapping out from Zweilous to other mons, but that just allows me to pivot A-Marowak for Victreebel and Minior for Weezing.
>>48918346I admit I actually have to prefer it where Tackle is stronger, as it makes early game feel faster instead of long battles of just launching shit moves back and forth and allows one to get into the real meat of the playthrough for longer. But I can definitely see your perspective, yeah.
>>48920773The Geodude line in Gen 2, Makuhita and Mudkip lines in RSE, Gyarados in DPPt, and Darumaka/Scraggy/Sandile lines in Gen 5 are really amazing for their games (and good elsewhere, just really good for those games). Snorlax and the Abra line are also ridiculously powerful regardless of gen.
