I have beaten the Elite Four and claimed the throne to myself
Sidney
Easy peasy.
I used Zlasha to defeat Mightyena, but it was defeated by Cacturne quickly, so i switched to Bunnit and defeated Cacturne and Sharpedo with Brick Break and Llusol's Sunny Day/Weather Ball took care of Absol and Shiftry.
Phoebe
Once again, easy. Gotcha's Crunch took care of things here.
Glacia
I tried to use Zlasha but it fainted again. Nevertheless, I killed the entire team with just one rollout from Bunnit
Drake
was a bit harder, but not much so. Zlasha was finally able to get 3 Swords Dances up, so the team was killed with consecutive Crush Claws. Salamence gave me some trouble, though, by defeating my Zlasha with a Dragon Claw. I was stuck in a corner, and I had to use Bunnit's bulk to save myself. Llusol helped by setting up Sunny Day, helping Gotcha in the process, to chip away at Salamence's health. However, they were taken down, and a Surf from Bunnit saved the day (after Sunny Day expired, of course).
Steven
was insanely hard.
The Skarmory was easy with Llusol's Sunny Day/Weather ball
But then Metagross came out. It outsped and OHKOd most of my pokemon, and Bunnit could barely cause any damage. I was stuck, but then I came up with a strategy. I got Bunnit to continuously use Full Restores and Defense Curls, until its defense was at maximum. However Metagross was using Psychic, which did barely less than a 2HKO. So I waited until its Psychic PP ran out, then all of Metagross's attacks were rendered ineffective by my high defense. I then proceeded to chip away, using Surf. I knew that a critical hit from Metagross could screw me over. I got lucky, and succeeded in defeating Metagross. One of the hardest fights in my pokemon training career. The rest of the team was easy, but I ran out of full restores, so i had to be conservative. I finally barely managed to defeat steven, earning myself the championship crown.
Sorry for the wall of text, it was one of the most epic battles I've ever had, and it deserved it.
Ruby Scramble Challenge!
:t303: Mawile - Gotcha - lv 52
Must have 2 Dark type moves, and either flamethrower or fire blast.
Fake Tears
Crunch
Fire Blast
Solarbeam
The moveset was pretty good, but the Special Attacks combined with her low Special Attack made her less of a fighter. Still useful when she could get in a super effective hit.
:t184: Azumarill - Bunnit - lv 53
Must have Defense Curl and Rollout, can only evolve after Meteor Falls.
Defense Curl
Rollout
Brick Break
Surf
The MVP. High Bulk combined with Huge Power makes a good fighter. I thought Defense Curl+Rollout was going to be crap, but i underestimated it. It was what allowed me to win.
:t335: Zangoose - Zlasha - lv 50
Can only use moves in learnset.
Swords Dance
Crush Claw
Taunt
Fury Cutter
The LVP. I think that he could have been better, but I kept him underleveled, as i thought he didn't need it. I was wrong, and he kept getting defeated in one hit at the E4, made it hard to setup Swords Dance.
:t351: Castform - Llusol - lv 52
Must have Sunny Day, Rain Dance, and Thief.
Sunny Day
Rain Dance
Weather Ball
Thief
Was very good in setting up weather effects, Sunny Day for Gotcha, and Rain Dance for Bunnit. It also had a really good attack, Weather Ball, but it had to set up to use it, so, not as useful.
