Well, this is it.
If pokemon were smart, they'd release this as a pseudo guidebook to paradoxes IRL for older fans to deal with.
Coals mirror match goes relatively well, with Mabostiff able to get 2 attack drops to boot (intimidate+play rough luck)
Coals fine now. Have you seen them fight? Sure they're not on even terms with me yet but still.
This was just me testing if the roaring moon cave was available. It is.
I didn't expect to get to here that fast by fighting e everything.
"how's regulation H? It's going well, thank you."
In all honesty, I'm not sure if coal has to go home after I beat ai Sada. I hope they get to stay.
Lord of OU, Lord of VGC (on break), and completely useless.
Foreshadowing how flutter mane would cause problems for vgc and Smogon alike?
Coal and nemonas lycanroc were both physical attackers so it took a while to beat the great tusk back.
Amoonguss this is not.
I headcanon I sent some of my earlier party members (like Millie the Spidops or Vinicius the Annihilape) to help them.
Strong looking one indeed. (Ok I'll stop joking about how OP flutter mane is, and it went down medium hard-brute bonnet got ohkoed while great tusk proved problematic)
Now, time for the final battle.
But coal has a new trick up their sleeve.
Yep. It's proto boost time.
Slither wing tanks ice spinner and goes for lunge, but falls to a tera eq.
Scream tail falls to tera eq and ice spinner doesn't one shot brute bonnet as coal is felled by a giga drain.
Nini misses a hurricane and gets KOed by sucker punch, but magiques u turn finally gets rid of the mushroom.
I pivot into wenlock in sandy shocks, whose power gems can't break the steel types defenses.
Magique slices flutter mane into shreds and I decided to have Miga take on roaring moon. 1 close combat was all it took. Whoa.
I guess that's the end of the playthrough, of course I'd win with items on and no restrictions, but I've never used some of the mons on throughout this series before. I think great tusk may have overthrown scream tail as my favorite paradox now, and pawmot has been a MVP.
(Also fun fact I used a dire hit in am attempt to try and get past the other koraidons high defense but it failed...not even a crit at the wrong moment. Well then)
