Pokemon sword but ppl choose my mons episode 5: Beginning the Gym Challenge endgame | FandomEpisode…pokemon.fandom.com

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.

Episode 4:

Pokemon sword but ppl choose my mons: episode 4: Rocky Road Ahead? | Fandomhttps://pokemon.fandom.com/f/p/440000000000388423…pokemon.fandom.com

I confess, Vermilla isn't supposed to be here, I was expecting doubles all the way so she could decorate MegaAmph and defeat stuff that way. Oh well. At least there's Raihan... (Warning: super sized episode ahead)

Speaking of MegaAmph... almost ready to get their pfp...just a bit more...

I Zoruarked myself into thinking they'd go for fake out turn 1 and clicked decorate because I know it will fail, and it didn't. Did I watch too many vgc videos?

Rare moment where weavile doesn't get ohkoed...

Huh, I didn't know that weaviles special bulk is strong.

Welp, there was only 1 double battle... oof

MegaAmph easily defeated liepard, but drapion survived on 1hp, so Vermilla went for disrespect decorate as MegaAmph finished it off.

Centibite blocked the classic incin intimidate with it's ability but couldn't stop fake out. His flame wheel was countered by payback, but at least he got a burn on scrafty. Crunch then almost takes scrafty into burn ko range but flame wheel has to finish the job.

Bloxy then kos malamar with snipe shot and u turn, but obstagoon proved problematic as I tried to read obstruct with MegaAmphs bulk up, but I only got 4 of those up then he obstructed.

Finally a revenge got it down. Skuntank them also tricks me as I attempt to out maneuver sucker punch, but MegaAmph gets snarled and screeched at. Eventually that and me only having a sitrus Berry to heal led to MegaAmph going down. It then finally unleashed sucker punch after Vermilla cut it down to low HP, but she barely won despite toxic damage and aftermath.

Yeah, but you really messed with my brain admittedly. Still, good game!

After a while (during which I accidentally attempted a sequence break by flying to hammerlocke which caused nothing to happen), it's now time for raihans weather trials..

I made a mistake here by bringing a fire type against a rain team, but MegaAmph is able to destroy the Sliggoo while centibite burns Pelipper (fail) as it gets tailwind up. Centibites bad luck continues as a water pulse confuses him, but he manages to use crunch to double up on Pelipper, defeating it.

Centibite and MegaAmph next take on a sun team, but the former accidentally sets off a shell trap that wrecks them both. Ninetales then disables drill peck as centibite is buried by rock tomb and megaamph gets defeated by a burn.

Luckily for me, Vermilla and bloxy are able to take out turtonator before another shell trap sweeps my team.

Now for the hail team.

I was curious what type of strt hakamo is here for, so I had Vermilla use entrainment to shut it down and apparently overcoat blocks weather damage (centibite then burned it for good measure after flame wheel decimates abomasnow). Now for the finale challenge .

Unfortunately Vermilla had 4 moveslot syndrome so I couldn't deal with a t punch para hax MegaAmph got, but he managed to tank 2 of those and with a decorate boost 2hko Gigalith.

When sandaconda came out I knew I had to delete sand spit so I did, and flygon went down with a drill peck, but Vermilla is also glared and para haxd.

I attempted to decorate my dynamax MegaAmph but duraludon completely shut that down, so MegaAmph basically just set up a max knuckle. I sent in centibite in an attempt to set up will o wisp but he gets wrecked by max rockfall.

I got scald from a cloyster max raid battle MegaAmph barely won, and it also came in clutch, helping take down raihans last 2 mons as MegaAmph also fell to duraludons body press.

Gameplay and story segregation moment...? (the max moves do various effects that I know kinda how to use them...well it's because of playing this multiple times and maybe pimpnite but still)

Finally, got it. I had a rare candy and exp candy from the cloyster raid so I could hear up to speed, but she was a pain to finally catch, as I initially tried weakening her with bloxy using whirlpool, but she easily defeated him and later centibite (who landed a will o wisp), and both her and MegaAmph barely lasted long enough to go into a heal ball.

(For consistency with the others)

Now I think my team is complete

Such a scam...I'm gonna trap eternatus in this later.

So now it begins. 1 Mon lesser than normal, let's see if I stand a chance against everyone now.

First up, final Marnie battle.

Another fake out guess fail, but Vermilla still defeated her opponent. AmphaRime helps with toxicroak, but I'm confident Vermilla can take this whole team down on her own, which she did though she did get paralyzed by morpeko.

The first turn of the dynamax off grimmsnarl and Vermilla exchanged max starfalls, but the second one got a turn kf delay because grimmsnarl used a full restore and Vermilla got para haxd, and because of her slow speed Vermilla lost the trade. Centibite is able to come in and defeat grimmsnarl at the end however.

For hop, I initially wanted to lead with megaamph but swapped to centibite because fire lash can get around dubwools high defenses. Centibite instead completely deletes dubwool with fire lash.

Corviknight lived on 1hp but the defense drop allowed a mix of crunch and fire lash to take it down after hop full restores. Centibite then gets 2 fire lashes off on Snorlax before going down, allowing MegaAmph to defeat Snorlax with revenge after tanking hammer arm.

Pincurchin tries to set up on Vermilla, but 2 d gleams easily defeat it. Now for bloxy vs cinderace.

Uhh... where'd cinderace go? Oh, it got washed away! Haha.

AmphaRime didn't do anything though...I guess it's because centibite was KOed at the time?

Speaking of centibite...I know this is the macro cosmos infiltration part, so I'm glad unlike the last time I got here, I have a fire type on my side. Rose gave me problems just solely because I didn't have one on hand (I know that comes later but still)

Also Eric is such a joke, centibite and bloxy literally just destroyed every single steel type he has.

Scald only burns when I don't need it. Of course. (And bloxy washed away every last lift battle)

Since I don't remember what oleanas lead was, I lead with Vermilla. Fairy is a very balanced type, so hopefully I can do something with that.

Uhh...ok? That said it immediately used double team after hex didn't defeat Vermilla ,then hexed her again before dodging with double team. Vermilla then dodges a will o wisp but a second one burns her but she managed to take out Frosslass at the end.

Vermilla then barely gets rid of corrosion before fainting, and AmphaRime defeats salazzle with psychic...after barely tanking an incinerate. She then defeats milotic with 2 freeze drys, before tagging in for centibite, who destroys tsareena despite getting hit by acrobatics.

Oleana, garbordor doesn't benefit from sand, why did you set it up? (MegaAmph then easily trounces the walking landfill with 2 max steel spikes)

Anywho, I think bedes next, so I led with centibite...oh wait he specializes in fairy types now oh no...

Never mind! (Fire lash later defeats mawile).

Gardevoir sets up a wish, but I think I managed to stop it from being passed-temporarily at least. Rapidash also falls to fire lash.

Centibite fails to stand up to max mindstorm after trading max flare with it and gets KOed, though he did set up the sun. That said the damage done allowed MegaAmph to finish it off with steel wing.

I swap AmphaRime to lead against Nessa because she has freeze dry.

She barely lived a first impression and managed to land freeze dry to defeat golisopod...only to almost nearly get defeated by megahorn from seaking and do the same.

AmphaRime was getting weak, so I had bloxy take out barraskewda, who he surprisingly outspeeds. 2 scalds was enough, before AmphaRime returns to defeat Pelipper.

On drednaw vermilala entrainment failed to delete swift swim (presumably), so I swap into MegaAmph when rockfall was engaged...only for her to get free rocks with her g max moves.

I dynamax MegaAmph on the last turn she had hers and got 2 max knuckles off, the second one defeating the turtle for good.

Next is Bea, and I think I'm gonna need to go for desperation dynamax turn 1 AmphaRime, no way she's living any fighting move in base form.

High Jump Kick missed! Thanks for the free psychic terrain! (And she demolished the next 2 mons without taking a hit so maybe I was thinking too much).

Unfortunately while AmphaRime outsped Machamp, Machamp was too bulky and her sweep was quickly stopped. At least she stalled out the gmax, so MegaAmph can basically take out the 4 armed bruiser with drill peck.

Now for Raihan, I led centibite into his torkoal, as I had no way around drought boosted stuff.

This forced me to swap to bloxy, who eats a lava plume. Bloxy has rain dance on him, so torkoal is shut down...and it was going for solar beam too. Bloxy then defeats the tortoise with scald.

Vermilla goes against goodra...which was probably a mistake since goodra walls special attackers for days, though somehow she managed to eventually overwhelm goodra and take it out with draining kiss and dazzling gleam.

Huh? What does shell armor have to do with the sun? (Also today I learnt all about shell trap: contact moves trigger it, otherwise anything else can hit it and be fine).

Vermilla also nearly defeated flygon but was defeated first, so I used ampharime to take it out with max hailstorm (to hopefully shut down whatever plans duraludon has), something Raihan seems to notice (unlike when bloxy changed the weather to rain).

I attempt a double max guard and of course I only got 1, luckily I stopped sand going up briefly...only for it to go up anyway due to max rockfall crushing AmphaRime to 0hp.

Bloxy later stepped in, simply set up the rain, and washed duraludon away.

I think this is a good stopping point. See you next week where we find out if my ragtag bunch can handle eternatus. (And maybe even use it? Let me know if I should)

On hand:

Bloxy (Sobble->Drizzile->Inteleon, male)

MegaAmph (Rookidee->Corvisquire->Corviknight, male)

Vermilla (Milcery->Alcremie, female)

Centibite (Sizzlipede->Centiskorch, male)

AmphaRime (G. Mr. Mime->Mr. Rime, female, debut)

Pokemon sword but ppl choose my mons: episode 3: Halfway mark | Fandomhttps://pokemon.fandom.com/f/p/440000000000388273…pokemon.fandom.com

Finally got around to updating @MegaAmphaRime and @BL0XYST1NG3R s namesakes.

This is a problem because colossal I'm pretty sure has steam engine, so I'm not sure what I can hit it with. Oh well. Vermilla does somewhat well against the first gym trainer, but bloxy handled the rest, though the last ones sudowoodo nearly one shot him with wood hammer...and because bloxy activated it's sturdy it KOed itself via recoil.

(Also I can't believe I didn't notice Gordie was speaking to me during the puzzle).

MegaAmph was able take down Barbaracle voa using his low speed to revenge x2 it, but shuckle may prove a problem.

Centibite manages to burn shuckle, and using flame wheel pressure overcame his type disadvantage to take it down. (He was also over levelled, but I probably had to due to only having 4 mons as opposed to 6).

After bloxy dispatched stonjourner, I dynamaxed Vermilla to fight g max colossal, hopefully able to trade sufficient blows with it so steam engine boost wouldn't bother bloxy later... however she was defeated by 2 Max flares, and centibite is downed because I couldn't risk steam engine (and clicked bug bite instead of flame wheel).

Luckily me for me, they did enough to knock it in range of bloxys snipe shot post gmax.

Now for the toughest hop battle so far, just because it's in hail.

Turns out corviknight is just slow enough and tanky enough to use revenge as intended. A last minute Growl couldn't stop dubwool from getting flattened.

Turns out hops AI got buffed seemingly, since after MegaAmph flattened dubwool,he went into cinderace,and then after cinderaces was washed away by bloxy, he swapped into pincurchin.

Vermilla managed to barely get past pincurchin but got paralyzed,so I entrusted centibite to take care of Snorlax, who also paralyzed it's opponent.

Eventually, centibite is defeated by Snorlax, but hail and burn damage also pseudo destiny bonded Snorlax as well. Fair trade.

Apparently MegaAmph is slower than hops corviknight (worsened by a scary face), though he did set up 2 bulk ups before dumping 2 revenges on his mirror match opponent.

A trainers Pyukumuku was unironically a threat during training, mostly because counter, hence I burned it instead of just attacking and also for some reason a qwilfish from this trainer got loaded dice pin missile odds. RNG is weird.

Also one of the mons I had to fight while trying to find a way out had to be toxapex (ended up resorting to using Bulbapedias map to escape) Why? (Also Will o wisp is coming in handy for deleting tanks)

Apparently the route 9 tunnel isn't blocked off, I could use it to slip back to hammerlocke easily. Weird.

Now for Marnie battle number...uhh..3 I think.

Wait, liepard gets nasty plot?

Ok its a mixed attacker, got it. Vermilla did finish the leopard off with draining kiss+d gleam, and a hyper potion was used on it too. Toxicroak then falls to MegaAmphs drill peck.

This one was evil. First centibite got tormented, than morpeko para haxd him with spark. Apparently para hax means torment still counts your move as already been used! What is this, pimpnites videos? Centibite did get a coil off during one of the tormented turns though, so that's something, and defeated morpeko.

This nearly went horribly because I used decorate expecting a fake out disable, but that didn't work. Luckily dazzling gleam defeated it in one hit.

I guess that wraps up this episode. Piers will have to come next time.

Pokemon Sword but ppl choose my mons: episode 2: Tackling the 1st leg | Fandomhttps://pokemon.fandom.com/f/p/440000000000388117…pokemon.fandom.com

Initially,I was expecting people to determine the mons I can catch every episode and also have more than 4 right now.

I think I'm going to change that to see how far I can go with my team of 4/5, and also give them more room to grow than if I had to juggle a million mons. (Could use one more member against Leon however, if anyone's willing to suggest anything, go ahead)

I used raids to evolve centibite (because sizzlipede is likely not going to be doing me any favors) before getting to hammerlocke....and begs the question why I even ended up here in the first place.

We'll be right back when I get back on the road to stow on side...

At least I think I can get past this guy now, he ended my nuzlocke run a long while back ... Anywho I think we should be mostly set to take on Bea now.

Oh wait there's a Hop battle before? Oops!

MegaAlph get past cramorant with a hone claws boosted pluck, and although he tried he couldn't take out toxel due to para hax... something centibite got because of static.

Bloxy is able beat silicobra but because he's lower level than reboot he let it set up agility +it barely tanked a water pulse and he barely won. I think he sees reboot as an equal now after that.

That's odd. MegaAlph has wings and he can get stab on it after evolving. What's happening? (Oh and he shredded the gym trainers)

As for bea, I lead with centibite and set up 1 coil... blocking a counter. He attempted to set up another and get smacked by revenge as punishment (as in set up punish, not the dark type move). Centibite is able to incinerate Hitmontop but pangoro stops him from repeating that with circle throw.

Bloxy is dragged in and takes pangoro out but sirfetched defeats him with revenge.

Vermilla gets super tanky with acid armor and is able to defeat sirfetched. I think she could fight Machamp despite being at a level disadvantage.

1st trade was max Starfall vs max strike.... though the first one made a subsequent repeat of that have the orders switched as Vermilla initially outsped Machamp. A 3rd exchange then defeats Machamp. Wolfey was right: fairy type OP.

Oh and centibite feasted on bedes psychic types, in a rare moment that being a bug type helped.

Huh, I didn't know I could hit that much for neutral.

Yeah, definitely need that power boost. (Now my team has 3 gmax capable mons...but no dlc so no max soup for me unfortunately).

The fact that ballonlea solos all of paldea (sans maybe area zero) in terms of aesthetics...oof.

Uh...it's weak to both? (Also bloxy sniped this first gym trainers entire team with snipe shot...and the next one too...and the last one too though flatter nearly derailed it).

I them decided to try and fight fairy with fairy and led with Vermilla. She gets poisoned by sludge from wheezing and that proves to ultimately be her downfall...and an initial boost from it too.

Centibite comes in and finishes wheezing off and I dynamax to get past togekiss with max flare considering it had ancient power that was also a good call.

Centibite then survives g max finale on 1 HP and gets a will o wisp off before fainting...and losing another opal boost too.

MegaAlph barely tanks another g Max finale to land a retaliate and drill peck (post Alcremie de-gmax) before going down. Thankfully for both, that was enough for bloxy to take out Alcremie with snipe shot.

He should have seen my opal battle. Should have.

(Also I guess I'm dropping the anipoke style anecdotes, sorry I think I'm not good at it)

Anywho time for hop battle...5? I think?

Centibite defeats trevenant, then cinderace pops out early. Huh? (Of course bloxy sniped it away but still, I didn't know cinderace had a good MU into centiskorch).

Boltumd proved problematic, mostly because it roared into every single mon. That said bloxy and Vermilla managed to eventually take it down, though Vermilla was defeated by spark beforehand, making this the first time hop has actually taken out one of my mons.

Centibite used will o wisp and 2 coils to be able to get past Snorlax, esp on e it had stockpiles up, though a body slam did paralyze him.

Great, everyone's now in their final form! Look out Gordie, here we come!
