Part 3:

Sorry for that cliffhanger last time, I'm gonna double down on progress this time.
This is like my 20th star barrage overall,so I clear it fast. Unfortunately scattor got a bit injured hopefully it isn't too much for him.
Giacomo leads with pawniard, and scattor (who somehow got HP back) faces it.
Scattor goes for supersonic to confuse the, and tanks an aerial ace.
Scattor uses Gust which doesn't do a lot as pawniard Landa another aerial ace.
Unfortunately, scattor couldn't beat this with gust and he goes down to another aerial ace.
Fletchie does take out the pawn with flame charge as the car is unleashed on him.
Fletchie can't really do much with his attack lowered, so I swap to goated as the car uses metal sound. Goated avoids a metal sound and goes for sunny day. He tanks a snarl and sets uo growths, and I tera him to use razor leaf, but he gets defeated by snarl.
Fletchie comes back in to acrobatics the car as it goes for metal sound. He then lands another acrobatics while the car snarled him.
Unfortunately fletchie can't take it out and gets taken out by snarl, so I send Nala in.
Of course not even work up powered up swifts could beat the silly car so I'm taken down to goo, which k attempt to potion stall but it doesn't work,so I sack goo to revive fletchie.
The car finally goes down to acrobatics.
Wow, this is the first time I ever struggled against Giacomo. Mostly because of pawniard, me forgetting set modes not a thing (and not swapping out metal sound nerfs), and forgetting my 5 item limit.
I wonder what I could use this on.
This makes sense in context as I picked fuecoco for this file.
I finally have a full team of 6, welcome aboard Flo.
(Also no wonder scattors struggle bug didn't lower her stats-its due to her ability).
I also ran into her by accident while hunting for the air cutter TM outside artazon. It wasn't there so I went to take out some combees (which flo helped with).
Anywho, now it's time to take on bombardier.
Huh, so people do know about them...
Fairy wind isn't powerful, and flo doesn't stand long against 2 plucks.
Fletchie, however , then demolishes the titan phase 1 with tera acrobatics.
Not even the second phase could handle it, and the remaining HP is depleted by arvens naclis rock throw and a quick attack.
What in Arceus' name...
I can go get skrelp now...
According to my research apparently klefki is available around alfornada, and I know avalugg is in the mountains so I won't have them for a while, so skrelp will have to tag in and out from time to time.
It feels good to have a full party.
While finding skrelp, I stumbled into caseroya lake. And found a bergmite early! Whether the ice block will listen to me idk.
(Didn't mean to trigger this, oops)
Kelpitcool here I didn't initially try to catch.
I tried to catch a dragalge right away, but flo (my lead) got decimated by an aqua tail, so I tried catch a skrelp instead. (Kelpitcool was caught after dragon pulse doesn't ohko fletchie). It will become a dragalge later anyway. Like berg, I'm keeping him in storage for now in case he won't listen to me at a critical moment if I use him against iono or someone else. I caught him around Ortega's area as I wasn't sure where else I could find a skrelp,and taking advantage of koraidons swimming.
I think I found a way around ionos mismagius now.
But before that...I have to get everyone to fletchies level. So he goes for a break while I train everyone else to get to his level. Notably, j change scattors nature to timid, and gave some health and defe EVs to goated,and gave nala a Lorb.
This is just funny. Slug vs slug duel. (Though eventually I popped tera on goomy as absorb wasn't doing anything).
Also I accidentally attempted a double protect on a wild Tauros and goomy got defeated by it. Oof.
Anywho time to take on iono-oh wait I have to do a nemona battle first.
Unfortunately, I forgot nemona lead rockruff and lead with fletchie.
Yeah, I can't hit it.
So I had to waste a turn to go into goated and he takes a rock throw for it. Goated still takes rockruff out with razor leaf though.
As you can see here, goated has a different kit this time round, no more sunny day growth. (After iono battle I will replace worry seed with leech seed)
Of course, bulldoze demolishes Pawmi, and I swap goated out for scattor against floragato.
Scattor goes for a disrespect struggle bug to take out floragato. (Also lol I'm overleveld)
On to ionos...gym trainers, I mean fans.
1st It's goated vs a luxio... without intimidate. Anywho becuz of the overlevelling, bulldoze decimates luxio.
2nd it's tynamo: perfect for using my strat to beat it.
It's gets a charge beam off still. I then decimate it with bulldoze. Flaaffy tanks bulldoze better and t waves me, luckily I don't get para hax'd and bulldoze finishes flaafy off.
Fun fact: before goated learned bulldoze, I was gonna use goop as my mismagius counter.
(Also apparently my team has a big fire weakness...gonna need to get that free Hawlucha after I defeat orthworm so I can beat mela).
Anywho, I think I made a wrong move again by leading goated against a Wattrel, so I swap into Nala, who eats a pluck on switch in.
Nala sets up a work up and gets paralyzed by spark. It gets para hax'd the next turn. And the next.
And finally she dunks Wattrel with a swift...but Lorb takes her out along with residual spark damage.
Bellibolt comes out as I send in flo. I go for magical leaf as bellibolt paralyzes me with spark. I use a full heal on her, then she gets paralyzed again.
I pull a desperation tera and transform flo into a grass type...and still got wrecked. Goatee comes back in and uses bulldoze. Unlike the others, he doesn't get paralyzed by spark and is able to fire off another bulldoze. Goated then finishes off bellibolt with razor leaf.
I was sure the incoming luxio had intimidate, so I used goo to absorb it.
I attempt to absorb luxio but that happened, so I swap goated back in. Without the intimidate drop it does until orange.
Goated goes for synthesis (HP is too low for comfort) as luxio bites again. Another bulldoze finishes luxio off.
Here goes nothing....
Despite a hex attempt, Goated survives! Unfortunately he gets defeated by hex.
Scattor enters the field and confuses mismagius. It hits itself. Draining kiss does nothing as mismagius retaliates with its own confuse ray.
I decide to fish for struggle bug so attack drops. I get one, and barely live a charge beam that offsets if. Struggle bug does a bit more and mismagius hits itself.
It lived on 1 health...and charge beam missed! I can now finish it off with 1 air cutter.
Scattor, you're staying on board.
Fletchie sat out ionoss battle, but he later clashed with the titan orthworm.
Phase 1 got a burn. Sweet. It did nearly defeat fletchy though via its high defenses.
Sandstorm...urgh. this may take a few flame charges to take down. 2 flame charges+grass knots get it to orange before my bird is felled.
I send in goo, who uses water pulse at the supersonic confused orthworm.
Finally, goomy gets a W that matters.
Well, that's all for today.
I gonna attempt to get Hawlucha tomorrow.
