This was an interesting way of fun. I beat it with this team

I played on Set Mode while not using items during battle. I also disabled EV gain because EVs are unfair vs 0 IV 0 EV opponents with bad sets. I also tried to not overlevel.
I like how despite the whole game revolving around RNG, theres actually no RNG in practice. This has been the most consistent battling i've done in a FRLG environment.

For the most part it was a decent challenge but there were a couple notable terrifying opposing pokemon:
-Misty's Starmie:
Has vastly superior stats than anything you can have, and will always outspeed and oneshot you with water pulse. And even if you survive you are confused, so basically dead. Apparently you can manipulate the AI into using swift on a grass mon so that you can whittle it down that way. Although most of my damage on it came from the level 29 dugtrio i caught in diglett's cave (yes i had to skip her to go get that).
-Catching a wild Dugtrio in Diglett's Cave(renamed to Hell):
Its not only about the decreased catch rate. If you dont overgrind, you'll be at around level 21-22 by the time you reach there. It WILL outspeed you, ohko you with nearly every move, you won't be able to swap mons around. To catch this i needed to sweet scent with gloom, die, revive and sweet scent again, die, then use stun spore with Paras (resists ground x4) before lowering it to red HP to make it possible to catch. Before it kills me.
-Surge's Raichu:
Double Team makes it invincible. It will use double team on dugtrio's Dig turn so your only option is mud slap which will deal less than half. I used Sweet Scent with Gloom until it died, this let me use Dig without worrying its evasion would go over +0.
-Koga's Muk:
Survives everything you have, and WILL use Minimize to become untouchable unless you have Swift/Shockwave. After having my patience tested, i taught Taunt to my Primeape.
-Lance's Aerodactyl:
Outspeeds everything you have and Ancientpower procs 100% of the time to make it unbeatable. The only way i got past that was because i manipulated AI to use Hyper Beam which gave me a free turn. If that didn't work i would have
dropped out of the league, and gone to replace my Raichu with a Jolteon.
-Honorable mention: Every Alakazam with Psychic. There aren't many, they're basically just Sabrina's and Blue's. I say honorable mention because I didn't have much trouble against them due to having Starmie(best mon in this mod), one of the
probably 2-3 pokemon that can 1v1 them in this mod. Everything else gets outsped and OHKOd.
-Champion battle was a trainwreck that was entirely my fault because i practically had 4 proper mons and 2 fodders. Starmie was failing to OHKO Arcanine and was getting OHKOd by Bite. Blastoise has Bite too. Blue must really hate Psychics. I had to teach Rain Dance to Raichu and Sunny Day to Primeape to beat this. Something i never needed before. It felt like an actual final boss.
Thank you for making this.
