Update!!
Iron Head pwnzorftw.
Best screenshot ever in the 2nd picture. This is what amazing no$ can do.
Love the Distortion World.
Oh, Iron Head knocked out some sense out of the Galactic people.
Cyrus was piece of cake. Giratina.. well.. Had to reset a few times to catch it. Shadow Force does 20 damage to me :D
Volkner was one of the harder battles; paralysis could well ruin my whole battle.
- Raichu went down to a Crunch.
- Luxray went down to 2 Crunches.
- Magneton had to be Focus Blasted to death.
- Electivire.. Just hit hard.
I. HATE. MAGNETONS.
The 3rd screen shows my PP when I defeated the last trainer of the Victory Road - Rock Slide scored a Critical Hit on the resistant Gabite, so I didn't use a single struggle. Cool ****.
Infernape is seriously a problem, I have no way to kill it. Out of the four types (
) that Infernape is weak to, the only type I could learn is Mud-Slap. How powerful!
Gnawie! Level 84 Mawile
Mild/Hyper Cutter
HP 206/Atk 187/Def 157/SpA 144/SpD 104/Spe 131
Crunch
Rock Slide
Iron Head
Focus Blast
I'm pretty sure I would learn different moves as I progress through the E4 through TMs, most notably Grass Knot, to make my life easier.
Still need to figure a way to get past that damned Infernape -.-
UPDATE: Yep you saw this coming. No pictures mostly, because it was the 2nd trial run actually.
Aaron: Steel > Bug.
Rock Slides to everyone, except Drapion, who fell from two Iron Heads.
Taught
Grass Knot to Gnawie! replacing
Focus Blast.
Bertha: Surprisingly, even with the double weakness,
Whiscash didn't get OHKOed. He set up a Sandstorm, however, so it's still ok.
Gliscor took two Iron Heads before falling.
Everyone else was an OHKO.
Flint:
Infernape took me 5 Hyper Potions to Flare Blitz himself to death, including a critical hit which required a revive on my side.
Everyone else was OHKOed by Rock Slide.
Lucian: Crunch OHKOes everyone, Alakazam was a problem though, Focus Blast just won't miss, ended up stalling out his PP.
Gallade fell to two Iron Heads.
Taught
Ice Beam to Gnawie! replacing
Rock Slide.
Taught
Focus Blast to Gnawie! replacing
Crunch.
Cynthia:
1 Iron Head flinched
Spiritomb to 40%.
She switched out for
Lucario, and Iron Head hit for 30%.
Aura Sphere HURTS. ~80%. Focus Blast took him down.
Garchomp next;
Earthquake pawned me. Needed a Max Revive here to tank an Earthquake, then retaliate with OHKO Ice Beam.
Togekiss was the other Max Revive used; I decided to go with Iron Head instead, 2HKOing and tanking an
Aura Sphere in the process.
Milotic fell to 2 Grass Knots.
She sent out
Spiritomb again who gets Iron Headed.
Roserade was last; need I say more?
Most changes in moveset during the Elite Four ever.
HM Slaves: Psyduck (Surf Strength Rock Smash Waterfall), Staravia (Fly Defog), Rhyhorn (Rock Climb)
Rhyhorn managed to not die from an Extremespeed by Cynthia's Lucario o.o
Gnawie! Level 89 Mawile (3 Rare Candies before Cynthia)
