Just got the Forest Badge, and also I did some changes to the layout.
The fight against Mars was pretty smooth, I even got lucky with Irabu's spark paralyzing the opponent.
Gardenia was trickier. Perrine's wing attack easily cleared her Turtwig, though it did manage to get a reflect up and switched to Cherrim. I figured that because of the reflect I couldn't really sweep Gardenia's team. I decided to try to stall for time and to use Nebra to set up hypnosis and confuse ray, but the Cherrim used Safeguard and ruined that plan.
I then tried to use Nebra and Irabu to whittle down its HP, but it turned out to be beefier than I expected. I was half prepared to sacrifice some Pokemon, but luckily Perrine actually managed to sweep the rest of her team alone, so it didn't become necessary. The Roserade actually died fairly easily.
