just finished my challenge run, my merch run.
noticed a lot of my favorites were available in white 2 so i decided to use them all, was gonna call it like an "anime run" and use them at my favorite stage in their line, like how ash doesn't fully evolve pokemon sometimes, but then as i was brainstorming my team i realized i had some form of merch of all them, so i decided not to evolve my sandile (i have a sandile plush, but no krookodile) and use them in the forms i have merchandise for.
no items in battle, set mode, and trying not to overlevel too hard. final levels ranged between 54 (reuniclus) and 65 (sandile), with the intention before the last e4 run being 54 for the fully evolved mons, 58 for flaaffy, and 62 for first stages, but then they leveled up based on the use.
lilligant did a ton to carry my ass thanks to quiver dance and leech seed. she almost solo'd iris, managing to set up 4 QDs since she also had synthesis and hydreigon kept trying to finish her off with dragon pulse instead of another flamethrower. then druddigon missed dragon tail, letting my 2hko with giga drain, and haxorus dragon danced instead of attacking. managed to one shot lapras and aggron, but was out of pp by the time archeops came out, so i just set up leech seed and sac'd her, then did some intimidate shuffling with arcanine and sandile before letting aron finish it off with some protects, a double edge misclick, and iron head
oh, and their names are LargeMarge the Arcanine, Matilda the Lilligant, Mrs. Grin the Sandile, Megan the Aron, Shetus the Reuniclus, and Jason the Flaaffy. somehow ended up with a super girl heavy team. even my starter, Scallop the Oshawott, was a girl. she was on the main team all game since i have an oshawott from a blind box, and i just rotated one of my seven out throughout, but for the elite 4 i figured i'd use my absolute favorite six
