Pokemon Perfect Crystal 2020: Mono-Poison
Sage Bella, Update 9 (Route 15 -> Mount Silver):
A massive update today, as I finished the last five Kanto gyms last night and this morning, and beat Red!
The only moveset change I made was to swap out Venomoth's Stun Spore for Sleep Powder. I also got a second Leftovers from Snorlax and equipped it to my Nidoqueen.
Misty: My Victreebel SunnyBeamed everything up to Lapras, and my Gengar finished off the rest with Thunderbolt.
Brock: Tentacruel soloed him with Surf.
Blaine: Tentacruel took down Magcargo and Magmar with Surf, and Nidoqueen Earthquaked Rapidash.
Sabrina: Crobat and Gengar finally got fast enough to outspeed her Psychic 1HKOs, and Gengar hypnotized and Shadow Balled both Espeon and Mr. Mime. Crobat confused and fainted Alakazam after a couple tries and revives.
Blue: I led with Tentacruel, which fainted Pidgeot with Ice Beam. Blue sent out Alakazam, which KOed Tentacruel. I switched to Crobat, tried to Confuse Ray and Attract it, but it snapped out of its confusion two turns in a row and OHKOed Crobat. I sent out Venomoth, let it faint to revive Crobat, and successfully locked down Alakazam and used Bite until it went down. Blue sent out Rhydon, and I tried switching to Victreebel, but Blue got lucky and fainted it. I switched to Nidoqueen and took it down with Surf. Blue sent out Gyarados, I switched to Crobat. I got a Confuse Ray off before Gyarados crushed my Crobat with a Hyper Beam. I sent out Gengar and Thunderbolted it down while it was recovering. Blue sent out Arcanine, I put it to sleep and switched to Nidoqueen as Blue used a full restore. I used Earthquake a few times and took it down, but my Nidoqueen was burnt and almost gone by the end. I used one last Flamethrower against Exeggutor before fainting, then sent out Gengar and finished Exeggutor off with a Shadow Ball.
Red: Nidoqueen 2HKOed Pikachu with Earthquake. Red sent out Espeon next, which 1HKOed my Nidoqueen and Venomoth for ten turns while I stalled it with revives. Once it ran out of Psychic PP, I took it down with Nidoqueen's Shadow Ball. Red switched to Snorlax, I brought out Gengar since it had no non-Normal moves, cursed it, and healed up while waiting for it to run out of Rest PP. Next, I sent out Victreebel, put Venusaur to sleep, and switched to Venomoth. Red switched out Venusaur, sent out Charizard, and fainted Venomoth. I sent out Tentacruel, badly poisoned it, and healed up while it fainted. He sent out his sleeping Venusaur, so I switched to Crobat, confused and infatuated it, and took it down with a Wing Attack. Last, Red sent out Blastoise. This thing fainted every team member except Venomoth (which was alread fainted), and Tentacruel. I had Tentacruel use Toxic against it and kept healing as it lost health. And that won me a second Red battle with no Pokemon over level 50 (Though Crobat leveled up to 51 after I beat Blastoise)
Next up, I plan to play through a Psychic monotype of Ruby.
