vs. Green for my 16th Badge on my previous runthrough (I restarted, realising my team wasn't strong enough, as I'd tried to rebuild in Kanto, and failed).
I managed ok on his team, with my team:
Politoed lv.57
Marowak lv.57
Snorlax lv.58
Dialga lv.44
Lugia lv.46
Typhlosion lv.49
yeah, the last 3 were just got out to match up better.
So, I went through his team, mainly with Dialga (lol, he swept, at one point it was 6-3).Then Dialga died, so used Lugia for Rhydon, and.....Hydro Pump missed!!!and it was dead.
-So, I sent out Marowak, who 2HKO'd with Bonemerang, after being knocked down to about 20 hp.
-For Gyarados, I sent out Snorlax, who took it one with Rollout, getting knocked to just over 1/2 hp (so about 700, lol).
-So, with Pidgeot, I sent out Marowak, to heal Snorlax up. Return KO'd me.
-Sent out Typhlosion, who hadn't been used since Exeggutor. Return OHKO'd.
-Sent out Snorlax, who was now healed thanks to brave Marowak's sacrifice. Giga Impact dropped it into yellow health, before on the 2nd turn, Return killed me.
-Sent out Politoed (Politaro), who was unused in this battle. It outsped, and used Bounce! Upon landing, it paralysed, but Pidgeot used Return, and got me to 1hp!
-I only had 1 pp of Bounce left, no Surfs, and 1pp of Hypnosis, because I used only Politoed for the gym. I knew Bounce would miss, but, I had to try. It worked! After Pidgeot had swept even better than my Dialga (who 6-0'd Lance), Politoed Bounced it outta the sky!
I went to Prof. Oak, because he called, and he said I could go to Mount Silver!
I restarted, because I couldn't take on the wild pokemon.
Lol, just an extra thing to add about Politaro. Sabrina swept the rest of my team, and then Politaro somehow hit with Hypnosis on Suicune, then Bounced through her team.And then Bounce missed 2 times, but I still beat Erika with it, too.
