Episode 5:

I confess, 5 is the lowest amount of mons I've used to get to an endgame...I'm not sure if I can get enough exp from beating rose and eternatus to beat Leon in a reduced state...
Wait...
Never mind, not like anyone at this point would even know their categories.
The music here's different...how did I not notice before?
Anywho, now for the rose fight. I ha e a fire type unlike the last time I got here, let's see if that makes a difference.
Escavalier? Melted by fire lash.
Klingklang? Faced a similar fate but got a wild charge off beforehand.
Perserker? Also defeated by fire lash.
Ferrothorn? Somehow also defeated in one shot by fire lash.
I forgot to top up centibites PP on fire lash after he used it a bunch while I was trying to leave slumbering weald, so I use dynamax bloxy to fight gmax copperajah. Bloxy trades a max geyser with coperrajahs max quake, but another max geyser was enough to end the giant mental elephant thwomp wannabe.
Eternatus is able to outrun AmphaRime and land a cross poison on the first turn, but bright powder saves her from a dragon pulse ko and 2 psychics force eternatus to transform into eternamax form.
(Also interestingly enough during the pre Zacian and zamazenta summoning, sucker punchs priority wasn't ignored when AmphaRime used it)
Unfortunately for Zacian, AmphaRime is a special attacker so howl wasn't useful. However, a light screen from zamazenta stops her from getting wrecked by max flare, and she lands 2 psychics before the hero duo weaken it enough for me to seal it in a premier ball. (Also no, eternatus isn't joining my party).
Now for the final showdown with Leon.
Bloxy is tasked with taking out Aegislash, but the shield forms defense allow him to tank a scald and blade form nearly defeats him with shadow ball, though he did prevail. AmphaRime later also barely tanks a shadow ball from dragapult and a crit freeze dry removed arguably the fastest Mon in this match from my worries.
I dynamax Bloxy to get around rhyperiors solid rock but lose him soon after rillaboom tanks a max flutterby from u turn. MegaAmph is healed up after a switch but knockoff removes her bright powder and high horsepower completely overpowers her. Rillaboom is then quick to endeavor MegaAmph when he came in, which proved problematic when he had to deal with haxorus after Vermilla was defeated by an iron tail, barely managing to pull it off.
I sack of centibite to bring bloxy back, and MegaAmph is also felled while I try to disrespect drill peck...and bloxy is defeated by max overgrowth anyway.
Time for round 2.
This time I had bloxy use tearful look when Aegislash went into shield form, and he tanked a shadow ball this time. Aegislash actually got 2 kings shields off and bloxy is defeated by shadow ball anyway.
Leon breaks out a full restore on Aegislash as centibite switches in to will o wisp it, then o have him coil to read kings shield which backfired as he tanks 2 shadow balls. Instead of stalling further I just have the boosted centibite fire lash away Aegislash and somehow it went down just like that.
I then send AmphaRime out against rhyperior and she gets defeated by stone miss somehow after using fake tears to weakn , and Vermilla manages to stall 1 turn for bloxy to finish it off, but eq really hurt him bad.
A weakened Vermilla gets destroyed by dragapults shadow ball, and so did MegaAmph as I tried to bring both Vermilla and AmphaRime back, the former later defeating dragapult barely via big root draining kiss.
I attempted to use AmphaRime to defeat haxorus but she only got 1 freeze dry off before going down. Vermilla took it down though. Centibite then manages to barely take out rillaboom.
Vermilla then tanked that, before I dynamaxed hee to max guard block a max rockfall/g max Wildfire (blocked max airstream, which was still good anyway).
I attempted a double max guard and it failed, and g max Wildfire went up.
I used centibite and max potions to stall out the g max Wildfire, giving bloxy a chance to come in as soon as centibite fell to take out Charizard with scald.
And that ends the run. This was tough for me but the fact that I managed to beat a game with less than 6 mons was pretty cool and amazing! It also gave them all time to shine in a way my usual rotation approach couldn't. Shout-out to each and every one of them for putting in effort somewhere, be it a gym, dealing with team yell, or even eternatus.
My Scarlet but I can't evolve playthrough will start next week, so stay tuned.
