Am I the only one who has a hard time with most of the Elite Four? ;;
For Gymleaders, the hardest was Gardenia. I chose Piplup, you see, and because Piplup was the only Pokemon in my arsenal besides Bidoof at that time, I kept being knocked out! I was supposed to capture either Beautifly or Dustox, but found myself using Hoothoot. Man. It was so hard. I hate how they made Hypnosis's Accuracy to 70. I was lucky enough to have Hypnosis hit Turtwig and have my Prinplup knock out Turtwig without waking him up. But Cherrim kept using Safeguard everytime so I can't even put Hypnosis on Roserade! Thankfully, I manage to be lucky enough to take out Cherrim and have Safeguard's effect wore off. Roserade was very easy, I wouldn't even consider Gardenia's Roserade as a challenge but type disadvatange hurts so bad.
For Elite Four, man I was over unprepared!
Aaron kept me distracted with his Drapion and his Vespiquen kept draining my Togekiss's Air Slash. I'm was eager to knock out his Yanmega on the first turn because of his Speedboost, and I have a hard time keeping my Magmortar in bay or else I'll have a real trouble with his Scizor.
Bertha, She poses a real threat with her Gliscor. My Tangrowth really helped me because it knocked out all of her Pokemon with just Mega Drain, but really have a hard time with her Gliscor. Thankfully, Tangrowth is a defensive type. Other than her Gliscor, I kinda thought her Rhyperior would be a real troublesome, but then it was easy, OHKO with just Mega Drain. I was wondering what would happen if I teach Tangrowth Giga Drain...
Flint. His team was a bomb. I regretted choosing Piplup as a starter because Empoleon kept being knocked out with a Flamethrower! Also, due to the power up Sunny Day has, I lost most of my Hyper Potion and Revival Herb because of Rapidash, Infernape and Magmortar. Argh. It wasn't my cup of tea, I hear you.
Lucian. I had no trouble with him, but his Gallade is a menace. Drain Punch + Stone Edge = Horrible. Thankfully, Togekiss comes to the rescue.
Cynthia's Garchomp knoced out most of my team. Togekiss and Tangrowth wasn my only hope. But it wasn't enough, so I traded my Floatzel from Pearl. It swept the floor with Garchomp, but It felt like cheating. ;;
Thankfully, the second time around, I manage to hold my ground against the E4, even if they are 10 Levels higher than me.
