This one cut a little closer than it should have, but 10th game in the challenge is done
Lorelei and Bruno were dealt with Calm Mind sweeps from Slowbro, then instead of risking it through the status effects that Agatha tried to put me through, I pulled out Substitute Raticate. Deny status effects then sweep with Shadow Ball
Things didn't go as planned vs Lance, though. Blogpost incoming

Ninetales dealt the final blow but that sucked, now I'm missing a lot of coverage and bulk vs Rival

I had plenty of misplays (including not bringing a 6th to E4) but some of my predictions left me feeling really good, and I can't feel too bad by going all the way with Raticate and Butterfree lol. Rest easy, Mr. Nido and Azsakano.
