Update #10 (Final!)
After a failed couple of attempts (I could barely get past Aaron) I leveled up my team a little more (and leveled Fuzzy further to level 56 to learn Discharge. Why does it have to learn that move so late lol sheesh) And then on to the Elite Four: Aaron: Fuzzy did most of the work, his Heracross was annoying with Megahorn landing critical hits, also was annoying that his Drapion knows Ice Fang which made it difficult to use Gamma to finish it off. After Fuzzy paralyzed Drapion though, Gamma was able to finish him with an Earthquake. Bertha: Opened with Tally to take out Whiscash, but then her Gliscor was annoying (seriously it knows all 3 of Thunder, Fire and Ice Fang?) Rookta finally took it down and then the rest of her team was easy for Rookta. Flint: lol easy for Rookta Lucian: omg, his freaking Bronzor (also his stupid Gallade, but mostly his stupid freaking Bronzor) Fuzzy took it on but it was slow getting its HP down. Gallade was tough too but Tally finally took it down Cynthia: Kept switching between Tally and Gamma to make her Garchomp waste PP for Dragon Rush and Earthquake and eventually was able to put Rookta in to finish it off with Ice Beam, then her Roserade was annoying... Sludge Bomb was killer, Togekiss knocked out Fuzzy a few times with crit Aura Spheres but eventually Fuzzy paralyzed it and took it down. The rest was kind of easy! It was long and also took many Hyper Potions/MooMoo Milks/Revives, but I pulled it off! And now the challenge is complete! Hall of Fame Team: Fuzzy the Luxray (M) Ability: Intimidate, Sassy Nature Lv. 58 Crunch Thunder Fang Charge Discharge Gamma the Golem (M) Ability: Sturdy, Lonely Nature Lv. 56 Stone Edge Magnitude Rock Throw Earthquake Silkie the Beautifly (M) Ability: Swarm, Rash Nature Lv. 54 Bug Buzz Stun Spore Giga Drain Aerial Ace Scurry the Bastiodon (M) Ability: Sturdy, Bashful Nature Lv. 54 Rock Slide Ancientpower Flash Cannon Iron Head Rookta the Octillery (F) Ability: Sniper, Impish Nature Lv. 55 Hyper Beam Surf Waterfall Ice Beam Tally the Tropius (M) Ability: Solar Power, Gentle Nature Lv. 54 Fly Solar Beam Air Slash Magical Leaf |
