Just beat Drayden and holy shit, Lapras was hanging by a thread. I really underestimated Drayden's Flygon, which hit me with both a flinch AND a crit. If I had lost Lapras it'd be pretty demoralizing.
I switched to Starmie against Altaria since Lapras was too weak to fight it, got hit by Sing, but I had a feeling it wouldn't go for Fire Blast, maybe Dragon Pulse, so I switched Excadrill in to finish the job.
Then I got VERY sloppy and kept Excadrill in on Haxorus but he just set up two Dragon Dances. I feel like I should have either set up myself but one Iron Head and Earthquake did the job. Excadrill does resist Haxorus's moves but still.
I feel like I could have completely lost there and I feel like I kind of lucked out. I still have to be careful and I have to make sure I have a strategy for Iris.
>>47746089Then perfect, if I am considering Gigalith for the final battles then I'll be able to evolve Boldore just fine. I also still have my Elekid from way back that I could raise to Electivire if it comes down to it.
Also F for your Volcarona, sorry to hear about the Crit. Crit Flare Blitz from Darmanitan sounds like it hits like a monster truck.
