Decided to give a full team set for the leader I made in a picrew thread a while back. Not sure about Bronzong in the final team, but whatever. Rest of this post is a copy+paste of the comments I made when I first posted this leader.
pre-fight quote is a tired rant on, depending on when you're playing, either challengers constantly showing up late at night and fucking up my sleep schedule, or just about my fucked up sleep schedule from the aforementioned trainers.
team strategy is geared around dream eater (the tm i give out), which every mon knows. lunatone, altaria, and noctowl carry hypnosis or sing accordingly, and each mon puts pressure on the player to switch mons (lunatone has future sight, altaria has cotton guard, starmie hits hard+fast and has gravity, noctowl has whirlwind, and musharna [ace] has calm mind) so that i can put as many mons to sleep as possible before attempting a sweep.
>>48118228cool team, not sure how well bisharp fits in the factory theme though. maybe skarmory could also still be the ace of the first 4 teams, with skarmory being your only pokemon for the first fight? might be cool to have a first gym leader who just uses one overwhelming pokemon you need all of your shitters to take down
>>48119499really like staraptor as your ace of choice here given the theme (as it'd be easy to go for a more "traditional" badlands bird like fearow)
>>48121340ascended team, fuck monotype for the sake of it, players can be expected to deal with a few wildcards
>>48121722love the choice of switcheroo as a tm and malamar as an ace
>>48121762zubat feels oddly out of place here but i'm unsure why, like the mantine/glider combo though
>>48122185torkoal is a really nice pick but i can't say i'm too keen on the rest as it's jumping about a lot and only one or two teams feel like they're playing into that hiking theme, sorry
