Update 6(Fixed)
We’ve made it to the end folks. We’ve made it past Watchog’s of luck, brutal RnJesus, Super Bullshit and the world’s hardest Gym Leader; Iris. We did it all with the help of a samurai otter, an icedream cone, a birb, a sraggy man, a cottonball and the jelliest thing of all time.
We did it, and now it’s time to KICK ASS ONE! LAST! TIME!!! For the people at home, at work, at the nightclub or the Gym, it’s time to finish this!
VS N!(Kya is 51, same as Grimsley) done with everyone as resseting over and over again is mindnumbing
Kya leads off against the Tao beast. Kya eats a Fusion Flare for about 60% of her health while HJK does about 50% to it. Reshiram’s AI is broken however, and it goes for Hyper Beam for about the same damage after a heal. I set up a Work Up and heal as he goes for another Hyper Beam, allowing me to take out the Tao beast with a HJK… if it had hit and recoil takes out Kya. Unfez chips down the Tao dragon with Return doing 20% after a heal, but 2 Extrasensories put me out of my misery. Strawberry manages to eat the Extrasensory for Mirror Coat to do 40%, but Hyper Beam finishes me off. Cass comes in to finish it off with Revenge. The “real” Klingklang comes in and I sack off Samurott to Revive my Kya. A Work-Up boosted HJK kills while it misses and lands a Metal Sound. Zoroark comes in and i send out Callie to heal up Kya as she dies to a combination of Focus Blast(65%) and Flamethrower. I eat a Focus Blast for 75% of my health while Brick Breaks the back of this Zoroark. Vaniluxe comes out as i heal up to eat a Blizzard for ½ health. I heal to scout for a miss and get Hail instead, which opens up a BB OHKO on Vani after eating another Blizzard. Archeops is met by Mitosis who hits a Quick Claw+Thunder hit to kill it in one hit! Carracosta outspeeds and hits me with a Crunch for 55% of my health while Psychic does enough that hail chip will kill next turn. I sack Kya to heal up Mitosis for the kill after Quick Claw proves to be a godsend.
V.S Ghestsis
Cofagrigus may be cool, but it derps with T1 Toxic, allowing me to set up a Growth with Callie. Unfortunately, I got a Spdef drop with Callie, forcing me to sack her as Giga Drain only does 1/2 of it’s health at +1. Kya comes in for a free kill. Hydreigon comes in, intimidates my team for a whole 5 seconds and uses Focus Blast for 95% of my health while HJK misses. Having no Dark STAB, Mitosis comes in to hit it with QC HP Fighting for 20% of it’s health while Dragon Pulse aims for a 2HKO. Mitosis is useless so I sack him off to revive Kya. Healing her up, it hits with Focus Blast, forcing me to heal 3 WHOLE TIMES just to get that holy miss for a HJK kill at 80% of it’s health after dodging another one. Hitting Lvl 53, Bouffalant comes in and dies to HJK after being outsped. Eelektross outspeeds and hit’s with Wild Charge for about 70% with a crit as HJK finishes it off.
Codraroll Seismitoad comes in only to fail to kill me with Earthquake from 30% as HJK finishes it off. Hitting 54,I heal one last time on the Bisharp as X-Scissor fails to do anything of note(20% lol) as Brick Break finishes it off.
Final Team.
Kya the Scrafty(Impish, Moxie, 54)@Shell Bell HJK/BB/Crunch/Work UP
S tier lol. The savior of my team of worthless freaks. Takes nothing from anything, has a fantastic STAB combination, gets high-power moves to patch up it’s average Attack, and looks cool to boot. It is never a liability in any matchup, always puts in work and is a fantastic mon, arguably the best Fighting-Type in the game.
Unfezant(Hasty, スーパーでたらめ, 48)@ Scope Shit Return/Fly/Roost/FeatherDance
This thing just blows late-game. It can clean up most of the bad mons here(Liepard, Throh) but when it comes to 1v1 situations against comparable enemies, it just does not do anything. The fact it was absolutely worthless against the last 2 fights of the game, and it’s general badness during the E4 makes it worthy of
E/Z Tier imo: it simply cannot keep up late-game, it’s midgame is far from bad but not very good, and it’s earlygame is meh.
Mitosis(Lvl 48, Magic Guard, Modest)@Quick Claw Psychic/Thunder/Shadow Ball/ HP Fighting
A Tier, with a good case for S IMO. This thing only needs 1-2 levels(and none if you pick up a Lvl 25 one) and the Eviolite to be a monster. Takes hits like nothing, hits ridiculously hard and barely requires healing at all. It has fantastic matchups in most important fights barring Clay, with it’s STAB and coverage being enough to tear holes in it’s time. However, it can be a potion sponge at times due to it’s good, but not great bulk and slowness. It also suffers from not being able to fight Dark-Types unless you get HP Fighting or want to A. Take a detour to get Focus Blast and B. Rely on it’s amazing accuracy. It’s great, mind you but those late-game Dark Types are enough to send it to
A IMO. At least it’s one of the best Pokemon down there.
Strawberry the Vanilluxe(Lvl 49, Ice Body, Hardy)@Lucky Egg Ice Beam/Flash Cannon/Acid Armor/Mirror Coat
This thing is pretty good IMO. It may be a slow starter, but once you pick up a couple of levels it’s fine. It’s a lot better when it evolves, but not amazing. It manages to suffer from the fact that it’s not very strong nor bulky ½ of the time, tough at least the 2nd part can be mitigated with the Eviolite. At least when it evolves, it can use it’s Mirror Coat and it’s powerful Ice Beam to lay down some pain on the E4. Probably would have done better in Black when Zekrom would have been a more managle threat, and if it was higher-leveled, it could have even foughten Hydreigon. It’s an OK mon, which is why
C Tier suits it perfectly. Also Shiny Vanilluxe looks so good.
Callie the Whimsicott(lvl 48, Prankster, Modest)@Amulet Coin Giga Drain/Growth/Hurricane/Shadow Ball
This thing just.. Kinda fell off late-game IMO. Soloing Marhsall was fun, but there is really nothing else it can do with a set like that. IT can take out some specific threats, but fails to do anything of note againsts the other big threats. It’s a shame too, it was surprisingly powerful during the Burgh-Skyla period, but just fell of after that moment. At least it’s usefulness then earns it a
C Tier, but man. That sucks.
BossCass the Samurott(Lvl 48, Torrent, Hardy) Surf/Blizzard/Return/Revenge
Packing power in every move from as early as the start to the 8th Gym, this thing has been a powerhouse for most of the game. Razor Shell is just broken until Clay, where it falls into just “very good” until Surf helps to bridge the gap. It also gets good coverage in Blizzard, Return, Dig, Revenge, Megahorn and Grass Knot. Only problem is the low Speed can hinder it in some matchups, it’s mediocre late-game special bulk and it’s not so good end-game matchups, but that early to mid game period definitely warrants
A Tier.
So yeah, that's it! Let me know what you think of these noms, and stay tuned as I plan a new run.
