Goodra

First off, I'm surprised that my latest art had no one confused about the creature on the right...

A skeptical Spiritomb drawing I made | Fandompokemon.fandom.com

I'll later comment what the Spiritomb wannabe belongs from, but I want to do another crossover art like this

Now for the question...are these two creatures below similar in looks?

Can I beat Scarlet with only Kalos originating Pokemon?Part 10: Starfalls | FandomPart…pokemon.fandom.com

After a bit of training I did off...umm...posting I stocked up on max potions and full restores and set out to challenge the e4.

I think I Mandela effected myself into thinking blueberry was the top one... jeez.

I'm honestly glad I ran out of SV save files, no more tera electric mismagius with levitate to haunt my nightmares.

Anywho now that that's out of the way it's e4 time.

I lead goated into Rika. I remembered her lead was something 4x weak to something...hmm...what was it...

Oh. Anywho I set up 1 bulk up...wait it had Blizzard? Luckily I didn't lead with noizy!

I think 2 bulk ups should be en- blizzard landed again???

I pop milk drink.... but it can't out heal blizzards damage. Horn leech takes goated back to almost full...leftovers helped to.

Anywho thanks to +2 gogoat faints camerupt to EQ.

I wish I had bullet seed to work around sturdy...and donphan uses it to hit me with poison jab. Man it's hard being a grass type sometimes. 2 horn leecjs still take it down though.

Couldn't outrun dugtrio, so the sands up. I don't have a rock/ground/steel type, so this could be a problem. Can +2 take out clod?

I could easily do this without tera, but it's clod, I need the boost, which was just enough to blow away clod.

And that's a gogoat sweep!

I may have fletchie and Nala who can melt steel types and goated has EQ, but I'm still a bit nervous considering, well, it's the steel type. The most tanky type of all.

At first glance I thought copperajah would eat flare blitz for breakfast. It got melted into scrap metal.

Anywho, nala has to take care of magnezone I'm case fletchie gets electrocuted.

Nala sends magnezone down to sturdy via flamethrower whole she barely tanks a discharge.

I just finish magnezone off with dark pulse.

Next up is brozong.

Nala unleashed a lorb powered dark pulse to send bronzong to orange before taking herself out. Fletchie is them able to finish off the bell with flare blitz.

This was an interesting exchange. Talonflame is taken down to low HP by flare blitz on corviknight (who lived on 1hp), but the ravens brave bird ended up taking both birds out.

Goated is my choice against Tinkaton

Yeowch! That hurt! And I got outsped too. I pop a max potion as it goes for stone miss, which lands.

I them counter gigaton hammer with milk drink, then bulk up during a non gigaton turn.

Ok, that's much better. EQ takes out Tinkaton. Phew.

Larry is a problem though, as I didn't pack any answers to flying types beyond my own fliers of fletchie and noizy. After a bit of deliberation I decide to lead with goo.

Well I did pack acid spray...and then it has sunny day...and dragon pulse. 2 acid sprays aren't enough. Luckily I could get a quick claw finisher.

Welp, time for sylph to debut ahead of schedule (I was saving him for hassel).

Ooh a special attacker? Calm mind time

Nope, not committing to set up.

Staraptor is next, so I stay in becuz of intimidate.

I get greedy and barely live a brave bird to get +2 in specials. I use a hyper potion as it goes for Close combat. For a resisted hit, that hurts. My greed led to sylph getting taken out.

Let's see who has the stronger recoil move. Answer: fletchie takes staraptor out with ease.

Next is oricorio, I assumed it was electric (it was) so Nala came in.

How did it survive flamethrower? Dark pulse still takes it out though.

Anywho I leave noizy to take out Flamigo.

Who's the better tera flying user? Noizy or Flamigo?

Air slash->orange HP on flamingo....

Fla-nvm it flinched.

A second one took it out.

Now for hasse-oh wait he has dragalge. Ok Sylveon maybe won't be a clean sweep.

I decide to troll a bit. I yawn Noivern, them set up a calm mind as it goes to sleep, which I use to set up 2 more calm minds. I then heal up Sylveon and it's sweeping time.

Oof. And the power of the moon compelled Noivern away as noizy gets inspired to learn boomburst.

While sludge bomb can easily end me, Dragalge is like a TR Mon, so surely+3 shadow ball can take it out right?

Oh no. (And sludge bomb poisons me)

Haxorus shreds sylph with iron head, ending my sweep. Noizy then comes in to fire a dragon pulse at haxorus, but it lives on red HP and dragon claw takes noizy out. Fletchie quick attack to the rescue.

Acrobatics ends Flapple easily, but baxcalibur...I guess nala via dark pulse? (Becuz I can't hit with fire and I think bax has insane physical bulk)

Luckily, I got a dark pulse flinch on 1 turn Glaive rush still ends nala though...who barely lives on 1hp. Nala then delivers a heroic sacrifice dark pulse for the ko.

Now for Geeta.

I lead with Nala becuz she has dark pulse.

Somehow espathra survived that and got a lumina crash off. Lucky I didn't attempt to set up work up. Nala then fries the ostrich for dinner.

Next is avalugg.

This is why I want AV avalugg. Nala melted it without breaking a sweat.

POV: you try to call out a sucker punch... kingambit used stone miss on me instead, so fletchies not usable here.

Come on...(Goo is destroyed by 2 kowtow cleaves). Goated barely even survives one after landing an eq. Another EQ is checkmate for it though.

Luckily, I can horn leech the oncoming Veluza to get hp back.

It lived on 1 HP after that?! How? (Have me more trouble than necessary...)

Noizy comes out to deal with gogoat (sorry, no mirror).

After using boomburst, I go for the accidental tera and use air slash to take Gogoat out. (It was an accident, I didn't mean to press R while selecting air slash, now noizys even more glimmora food).

I send goated in on glimmora, and click EQ. Can I beat this?

Goatee survives sludge wave with power of friendship, but EQ doesn't do much, so I pop a potion to stall 1 turn...and goated still falls anyway.

I misclick boomburst on noizy...tera blast buries him and my tera.

I get Sylph poisoned and he barely eats a sludge wave, and finally glimmora is down by a moon last.

(This is my worst performance against Geeta ever. I need to be more focused for future battles instead of typing this out... starting with nemona).

Oh no I kept Nala as a lead against her lycanroc...oh no.

I have to last minute swap gogoat in on am accelerock...

Neither of my fliers have boots, this is a problem. Lycanroc does go down, but now gogoat has to 1 mon army an entire team basically, trading a goodras ice beam with his eq. He then takes goodra out with EQ after eating a sludge bomb.

Perfect representation of goateds situation right now, though EQ does take pawmot down.

Dudunsparce coils after I out speed to get a horn leech off. Another horn leech sends it to red, and hyper drill hurts. 1 last horn leech finishes dudunsparce off.

I have to keep horn leeching orthworm becuz of earth eater, it doesn't even tickle it. Goated trades it with iron tail until a body press puts goated out of his misery.

Who to choose...who tom..hmm

I eventually decide to send goo into the rocks and her muddy water is able to take goated out. Luckily for me, goo has sap sipper, so flower trick should do nothing, removing meowscaradas stab option.

Should have went for acid spray. jeez what's with all my bad plays? Goo is eventually defeated by 1 play rough+shadow claw.

Sylph is next as he's the last least affected by rocks Mon I have. He gets ohkoed by flower trick, forcing me to accept the rocks chip damage I was so scared off and send fletchie in, who ends meowscarada with acrobatics.

With hindsight, I'd like to know how arven got nemona and penny on board... considering he hates the former and doesn't really interact with the latter. Now it's off to area 0.

(Note: as much as I'd like to even if theres a kalos paradox pokemon I can't use it).

I'm a slowpoke for not realizing this....

True...

Anywho Nala will take the first hurdle of the area zero walk-around.

I think she's more off a As One (Defiant+Reckless) type. Nala appears to be brave too, taking on many area zero mons without a break. Her lorb did wear her down though.

Florian/Juliana: am I a joke to you? (Like seriously the person playing as them may also have common sense too).

Oh no...

Dark pulse does nothing so nemona had to do the most work.

Goated will take the next phase.

Terapagos isn't a 6 letter word. (I also checked it's japanese name, only 5 chars( I wonder what it's beta English name is.

Scream Tail is the least threatening looking paradox imo. I use it to attempt to heal off Gogoat via it's massive HP. It's lowered to -4 attack by Umbreon as 3 horn leeches and umbreons dark pulse punt it back to the deep depths of area zero. Goo took over the next shift.

An actually scary looking paradox, probably only valiant and moon are scarier than it. Luckily I have Goo the special attacker since I remember it's special def is garbodor. Goo misses the 1st muddy water but another one washes great Tusk away.

Why

Weird phenomenon: tusk didn't knock off goos quick claw. ?

Since the last sections in a cave, noizy will handle it. (Also Arvens koraidon story is making me realize my Koraidon adventures are lucky as no npc realized it was koraidon)

The cave is filled with scream tails and rock types that want to eat noizy for breakfast. Why?

anywho, at the 0 lab...oh wait why am I bringing a dragon type again vgc tier...umm... ruler flutter mane. Noizy manages to dispose of great Tusk alongside nemona and Brute Bonnet alongside penny, but can we best flutter mane?

It's flutter mane, I'm not taking any chances. (Oddly it went for psyshock instead of moonblast).

Now, for the moment of truth. Can my rag tag team fo frenchmons beat the most powerful AI (lore wise) of all Pokemon?

First up, noisy vs slither wing. 1st,I get a boomburst+throat spray combo going and eat a lunge. Then air slash takes slither wing out.

Next up is scream tail, probably to play rough me.

Expecting it I tera noizy to flying.

(It went for ice punch after my boomburst. At leasty 4x weakness is gone).

I roost off the damage as it goes for a neutral ice punch. Another air slash finishes scream tail off.

I decide to take my chances with flutter mane,...and a t bolt ends noizy. I send sylph in, though it gets a shadow ball sp. Def drop as I attempt to set up calm minds. Eventually 2 moonblasts take it out.

For once, I have something for sandy shocks. Goated eats it's flash cannon and power gem and decimates it in 2 horn leeches.

I use Nala against brute Bonnet.

How'd it live? Anywho a disrespect dark pulse takes it down.

Now for roaring moon....which ends nala with EQ. I send in goated to bulk up in it's face, though a d claw does a lil too much damage.

Since Sylveon could resist it's stabs, I sacked goated to heal sylph up and take it on.

Oh it's left with stone miss. And it finally missed.

Oh wait it has EQ too z which sylph survives...but another one crits and wrecks sylph.

Goo gets evaporated by dragon claw, so it's down to fletchie....and I lose to a stone miss. A first for mez so where do I end up?

Oh.

Time for Round 2!

Time for a different strat. I turn one destroy slither wing with a crit air slash.

When scream tail swapped in I went into nala. Dark pulse does nothing as it goes drain pun...oh. I swap into fletchie to eat another drain punch...no burn though.

2 flare blitzed end scream tail.

Sylph takes flutter mane down after trading shadow balls with it.

Goated takes down sandy shocks with EQ and horn leech.

Nala nearly roasts brute Bonnet with flamethrower but sucker punch takes her down, sylph finished the Mushroom of.

Noizy

Noozy got 1 dragon pulse off on roaring moon before going down, and fletchy ends roaring moon.

And there's the end of the run (koraidon stuff not with standing (.

(Side note: I went overkill a bit with here, in hindsight I should have stopped after I beat nemona or Geeta. Sorry if you guys had to deal with a wall of text(.

Part 9:

https://pokemon.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000003831095

Can I beat Scarlet with only Kalos originating Pokemon? Part 9: Down with Dozo | FandomPart…pokemon.fandom.com

Before I took on eri, I decided to peek at my EVs.

Jeez what have I been fighting, all my mons have a lot of attack evs, even though noizy, Nala and goo have almost never used physical moves. Not like I'm gonna make a hassle out of it (+ev lowering berries are hard to find, so why botehred)

I wonder how many people saw this subplot.

Anywho it's ERI time. Luckily I have 2 fliers.

If only defeating eri out here= getting star badge...if only it were that easy.

Ofc this MU sucks, so I swap Noizy in...as it goes for nasty plot?! I didn't know Croagunk was a special attacker. Anywho air slash shreds the frog, and I send sylph back in on primeape.

He eats a Close Combat...and becuz of the sp def drop primeape is punted to the moon.

Interestingly enough, while sylph, fletchie and noizy did the star barrage, there were several Gallades. If team star were truly bad, why would they have Gallade? Also I think toxicroak line messed sylph up bad due to being half poison.

I attempt to put toxicroak to sleep but syph is poisoned by p jab and defeated by poison.

Hope this works. Toxicroak eventually sleeps, allowing me to take it out with 2 aerial aces.

In comes passimian, it tanks aerial ace well and take fletchie out with rock tomb.

Goated comes in eats a CC and sets up 1 bulk up. He barely survives to set up another as another CC is hurled in his direction. I use a hyper potion (should have max becuz it still hurts. +2 horn leech doesn't do heal a lot either.

I max potion on annhilape, Close combat does nothing. I'm scared of rage fist though. Another close combat is sent my way, as a leaf blade cuts annhilape up.

I max potion Gogoat as Lucario uses aura sphere.

Goated eats another one and OHKOS the Lucario.

I swap in noizy as the car I'm sure had stamina, so I can't hit it. He's paralyzed by the cars torque and para hacked when I attempt to set up my screech throat spray strat.

Noizy manages to take the car down to this level by living on 1 HP. I end up sacrificing him to bring Sylveon back. The car sets up a shift gears (like it did before, hence noizy on 1hp), giving sylph the opening he needed to destroy it with a moonblast.

I wish I could use this, but I don't want to sacrifice gogoats bulk. (Also while waiting for rain yesterday I got the focus miss TM LOL)...and no one can use it.

I need speed control now...so that's what fletchie does via tailwind as he gets yawned. I misclock on nala using flame thrower x2 and the falling asleep , I had to full restore it off (I do use dark pulse at the end to take it out however)

Fletchie comes back in for speed control on houndoom, dark pulse doesn't do too.much.

2 acrobatics takes it out.

Abomasnow has ice shard. Oh no. Nala should be able to handle it right? (The veil is up)

Despite the veil flamethrower does a lot to abomasnow, so much so that wood hammer recoil takes itself out.

Now the veil works. And I got a flinch! The next dark pulse didn't flinch however,but a shell smash went up. Oh no. (Nala is defeated by a sucker punch).

Goated get a bulk up on the teapot, then max potion after a shadow ball does a lot of damage . Evidently, he's not right Mon for the job, sylph takes it better...nvm he gets koed. I accidentally play around sucker punch with a bulk up, but goated also falls.

Fletchie lives on 1hp to flare blitz the teacup into oblivion.

I send goo against amoonguss...and somehow she's able to counter it's spores (she has sap sipper, not hydration), so it's forced to go for toxic...which goo destroys with power of friendship.

Seriously??? (And I misclick a bulk up 1hp live from a revived goated). I max potion him as he tanks an aerial ace.

Yes, I took it out! That was too close, I'm definitely going to need more exp to fight the eeveelutions team.

Curiosity I found while trying to train with the dragon tamers at the lake, they all had held items,and all 3 dragons Kalos dragons nonetheless.

Should have waited...oh well.

Goo finally evolved...right when I was feeling gloomy about grinding. Thanks a lot game. Now I feel confident enough to take penny on.

I lead noisy into Umbreon, then swap to goo becuz it's Umbreon, I need to lower it's bulk, via acid spray.

Goo suddenly got main char plot armor and tanked all of umbreons hits. Heck, she was able to defeat Umbreon with only acid spray.

For some reason I send Nala into Vaporeon instead of goated, so I attempt to correct that mistake...and goated got hit by baby doll eyes.

Vaporeon I'm sure is passive so j could set up on it. 1 bulk up. Aurora Beam does nothing.

2 Bulk Ups. Back to normal attack. Still tanking aurorar beam.

I'm not going for 3, I just horn leech, and Vaporeon is down.

Next up is Flareon, so goo returns to the battlefield. 1 quick claw muddy water send Flareon to orange, and goo barely survives a flare blitz. I pop a max potion to stop goo from getting defeated and goo eats a quick attack. I click acid spray on accident as goo eats it...and the recoil takes Flareon out.

Somehow leafeon survived fletchies flare blitz, and fletchie got a disrespect flame body burn on it before it's downed by a returning no item acrobatics.

I think I can set up on Jolteon...until a thunder para hax'd me, forcing me to full restore. Baby doll eyes is walling me hard, so I swap into Nala for real, and she gets paralyzed too from thunder.

Nala manages to survive on 1hp against another thunder and get a lorb powered hyper voice off before lorb takes her out.

I swap goated in, then sylph in case it went for baby doll eyes, but sylph just gets strick by thunder. Sylph then gets a calm mind off as Jolteon tries to baby doll eyes him. Twice. Finally Jolteon misses thunder as a +2 shadow ball takes it out.

Now,for a Sylveon Ditto match.

We both send each other to orange with moonblast but Penny's Sylveon is faster.

I beat penny with her own ace LOL. Thanks for letting me get +2 special stats!

Hmm...white herb Noivern that can drop a draco? Nvm.

Anywho , elite 4 time next. Whether I can Speedrun to area 0 is a different story...
