Why does Mienfoo evolve later than Fraxure? Insane. 50 is the exact level cap for the E4 at least. So with our final evos, it's time for the league! (I'm allowed to use the same healing items the AI used, btw)
I decided to start with Grimsley, since over half my team have moves supereffective against him. Contender starts by oneshotting Scrafty and Liepard with Jump Kick, then U-turning out against Bisharp to avoid Aerial Ace. King Louie beats it with Fire Punch. Pivot into Cleopatra to tank Earthquake so we can switch Phobia in on Crunch. Signal Beam oneshots too.
Next is Caitlin, who we're also strong against. Phobia sets up once with charge beam, then kills Reuniclus with Signal beam. Sigilyph comes in, we volt switch out and kill it. Send out Smiley to crunch the last two mons.
Next Shauntal, who has a bunch of stuff I don't have clear counters to. I gave Smiley a Rawst Berry to cure Will-O-Wisp, then spam crunch until Cofagrigus wastes the healing and goes down. Jellicent comes out, switch back to Cleo to take Surf and trade shadow balls, which she survives alright. Go back to Smiley on another shadow ball, finish Jellicent with crunch. Golurk next, switch back to Cleo to avoid brick break. Full Restore to take a shadow punch. This gives Golurk Mummy so I can barely take another shadow punch. Instead it Curses for some reason, allowing Shadow Ball to kill. Berserk kills Chandelure with 2 shadow balls, barely surviving 2 fire blasts.
Marshall was the one I feared the most. Contender two-shots Throh with Acrobatics, then U-turns out against Conkeldurr to heal with regenerator & remove speed drop from Bulldoze. Send Cleo out to take stone edge and burn Conkeldurr. I realise Marshall's team can't do anything against Cleopatra without Throh, so she beats Conkeldurr and Sawk & burns Mienshao. Let Contender finish Mienshoa, turns out I had little to fear.
For such a late addition, Cleopatra has really proven her worth.
Cont.
