With fuleco gone, haibao is my only answer to gordies rock types (duria will trigger steam engine, Jingfengwa isn't powerful enough, mandeville is just there to tank g max volcalith, neve will straight up get deleted). Funny to say this about rock type since they're usually defensively terrible (haibao easily disassembling them was an indication, though a sudowoodo sturdy×wood hammer nearly deleted her(, but offense...yeah.

I wonder what the ice gym counterpart to this is...since Hail is kind of garbodor....

Haibao couldn't hit barbaracle for super effective so i hard swap into Jingfengwa (who could). She's barely anks a shell smash razor shell before firing back with giga drain before toxic shuckle...but haibaos scald deleted it anyway without it using guard split. Stonjourner barely saved itself witj wonder room before scald burn+earth power defeated it.

I dynamax haibao for coalossal because I don't think earth power would be enough to one shot...and max Quake does. That huge level gap really came in handy.

I burn my encounter at watchtower ruins (an alternative ghost type to ...and could have gotten the bulky dusclops, but got drifloon instead. Petra (1992 Barcelona summer Paralympics mascot, used here as im running low on sensible names) is probably gonna be a benchwarmer. I should have used my level 50 catch unlock. Oh well, raid time.

Wenlock (2012 London summer Olympics mascot) the golett is also equally underlevelled...well, at least getting them up to speed will extend yhe playthrough if any of my current guys fall.

Because of the Hail, I lead with neve, who eventually defeats dubwool. After a protect scout reveals brick break on rillaboom, I swap to Jingfengwa to take it out, but she sustains too much damage so I swap into neve again to stall a bit of the poison point activation.

I burn snorlax witj huanhuan then pivot to duria to try and handle the big wall (which she does). Pincurchin is dismantled by haibaos earth power, and then haibao uses scald and its burn to outlast corviknight .

Route 9...encounter was this. I thought it jad water veil so i used toxic and toxic deleted it.

(at least there's still the surf encounter as it has a subtitle). The surf encounter...was a Wailmer, who I named beibei (2008 Beijing summer Olympics). I then fail to catch a bergmite outside spikemuth and lose both misha the bewear and shuey r r the shinnotic to trainers.

Alright, no more playing around (tom has moonblast). Haibao deletes most of the grunts on her own anyway, tanking a lot of hits in the process, Huanhuan also chipping in a bit here and there, and duria assisting during the 2 in 1. Now for piers.

Haibao tanks intimidate and a sand attack, scalding scrafty twice for the ko (and malamar too), at the cost of sitrus. She recovers off throat chop damage but sand attack Drains her scalds, so I swap to duria to handle obstagoon, but its too bulky for the pelican, so i swap to Beibei (who's brine finishes it off)

Huanhuan and skuntank exchange will o wisp and toxic, then I had Jingfengwa come in to disuade toxic, but she got snarled and shadow ball didn't do much, but haibao comes in, powers through toxic and deletes it with earth power.

(Fun fact: I tried to switch huanhuan in on fake out many a times. It never happened)

Alright, Raihan Tommorrow, then the champions cup if im lucky.

Can I beat a pokemon sword nuzlocke with non galar pokemon? Episode 4: the halfway mark | FandomEpisode…pokemon.fandom.com

So i lost the post unfortunately, here's a quick recap of what was described in there:

-Opal defeated

-Huanhuan (Litwick->Lampent->Chandelure) and Jingfengwa (Roselia->Roserade) evolved

-New additions: Mandeville (Boldore) (Snorunt->Glalie), Nini (Unfezant F), Magique (Ditto)

-Lianlian (Vikavolt) is finally defeated (by a solrock on route 7), followed by fuleco (excadrill, accidentally left a falinks at the same place on 1hp and was deleted by reversal)

When I fight gordie I promise I will describe the experience more properly.

Episode 3

Can I beat a Pokemon sword nuzlocke with non galar pokemon? Episode 3: the first gyms | FandomEpisode…pokemon.fandom.com

For my Kabu battle i decide to lead with lele, since duria sets up the rain, it could come in handy later.

Leles stuck in witj fire spin and burn damage, but he eventually overpowers ninetales. However, the damage he took would prove harmful and I swap into haibao soon after (since haibao is a special attacker, the burn isn't that bad).

That said, arcanines bite puts haibao at dangerously low hp, so I swap in duria to finish it off with water pulses before dynamaxing her to fight g max centiskorch.

Luckily for me, duria tanks g max centiferno like a champ and 2 shots witj max geyser. For the first time, dynamaxing a mon during an important battle didn't lead to it's demise.

After that, I reshuffled my team comp and came up with this set up for the team going forward for now. I have the fire water grass trio and charjabug. (Now if only I could get budew to evolve, I'd like a Poison type for bea)

That said soon after izzy gets deleted by a wild mudsdale so misha is reinstated. I should have paid attention ti the level 36...*izzy in the late 10s...yeah I think i need stronger wild area encounters)

Well, I guess this is something. Now as for the name...uh...Proteas (Athens 2004 summer Paralympics mascots. This is a seahorse character but the horsea line is exclusive to IOA which i don't have...)

Tom (Rio 2016 summer Paralympics mascot) was caught as a gloom, and because I had a leaf stone handy, I could evolve her into vileplime immediately. That unfortunately meant I had to part ways with Jingfengwa the budew, thanks for the memories lil guy. (I also evolve lianlian into vikavolt after I noticed is was in north lake miloch)

I also got the in game trade togepi. I tried to rename it but the name rater blocked me, so I'll just call him snips (breaking my nicknames theme but I would probably struggle to nickname him anyway). Oh wait, the soothe bell is nearby? That's great! I can finally evolve roselia...oh wait I sent budew on a pokejob... oh well, I'll just call her back.

Duria and lianlian take out these team yell grunts, the latter somehow still being able to shred them witj x scissor despite trading physical attack for special attack. (Must be the silver powder)

I catch this dugtrio that proved problematic for my great balls but witj durias help was able to get it in. It's named Gomdori (1988 Seoul summer Paralympics mascot)

A quick trip to the npc camp led me to finally evolve Jingfengwa into roselia , and also haibao into gastrodon. Water ground is top 5 defensive type combos so this is a great addition to the team.

Time for another hop battle. Gomdori joined the squad as the lead but tagged to Lianlian to handle cramorant. Jingfengwa makes her battle debut by one hit koing silicobra with mega drain, then tanking thwackeys screech before Poison Jab finishes off her opponent.

Towel, of course, gets deleted by gumdori.

In beas, gym, Huanhuan is sort of put through the ringer as he often needed assistance to take down the gym trainers, only able to barely beat the last one because they lacked dark coverage. Therfore, I had Jingfengwa as the lead. She gets a p jab off but Revenge hurts her a lot so I swap to lianlian to finish hitmontop. Duria then severely damages pangoro with air slash, gets night slashed after missing one and then goes down.

Sirfetch'd was a pain to get around, gumdori even getting sacked to get around it but eventually lianlian took it down.

Since most of my team is crippled, I dynamax lianlian to fight machamp, intending to sack her off. Luckily for me, she barely pulls through via the dynamax candies i gave her and 2 max Lightnings deletes machamp. Phew, if lianlian met her end there it would really suck. (Also she swept bede again, altering her x scissor into bug buzz in the process. I wonder if bede has a grudge on her at this rate).

I saw excadrill in the dusty bowl when I was expecting to find my encounter. I jokingly asked, "can I catch it?" The answer: yes. Welcome aboard, Fuleco (2014 Brazil fifa world cup mascot, name only chosen because sandslash is awol)

Compared the fuleco though...yeah I don't know if barbaracle is necessarily on mons i want to use, but it will do. Ole Hop will be his name (2014 Spain FIBA world cup mascots, who are a pair of hands)

One more encounter before I call it a day: shinotic in glimwood tangle. The name is based on Shuey rhon rhon , the mascot of the Beijing 2022 winter Paralympics. The original bearer of the name was a lantern, but because my soon to be lampent (sweet arceus, how fast time flies), has a different name (Huanhuan), so i had to make do.

I think my current setup is the best I've got, so as long as lianlian, duria, huanhuan and Jingfengwa don't get deleted, I should be ready for the end game. Lets see how that goes, I've got plenty of backup mons to pull from if things go wrong, hopefully I don't expend them all.

Episode 2:

Can I beat a Sword nuzlocke with only non Galarian Pokemon? Episode 2: Let the journey...commence | FandomEpisode…pokemon.fandom.com

Update: While training, I accidentally sacked Unity the woobat to a wild pumpkaboos shadow sneak. I was trying to boost her friendship too but forgot to swap her out when doing so. RIP. (That said, her ability was klutz so it's probably for the best...since klutz is not very good...don't tell her I said that, alright?)

Decided to look around for useful items and found the expert side quest. Not really used one but se hits are always appreciated. Miraidon and koraidon are proof of that. Plus since I have no Life Orb, evolite, leftovers etc. I'll take whatever I can get. I gave it to Nokki, who has learned air slash. (He then proceeded to shred the gym trainers)

Big owl then deletes milos gossifleur witj 1 expert belt boosted max airstream, and the speed boost allows him to outrun eldegoss but he still tanks a max overgrowth. Nokki then de dynamaxes and because of my greed and overestimating the power of air slash hes deleted by eldegoss' max strike, juna is barely able to come in and finish the job. (Note to self: you permitted items, use them when necessary!)

Alright, im down to just 4 mons, i need those encounters. Wild area reward: Gliz (Turin 2006 Winter Olympics mascot) the vanillite.

As for my max raid den encounter, I get to use my favourite baby pokemon. I name her Jingfengwa (Cancell3d 2021 Shantong Asian youth games mascot). She's gonna be hanging in the back of my party for now...let's see what route 5s encounter is.

So it turns out to be stufful. Welp, if there's ever a good name to give, it would be misha (1980 Moscow summer Olympics mascot). I replace gliz because hes level 10...and idk if I want an ice type in a nuzlocke (ice has 0 resistances). Also, lianlian finally learned spark, so now I can hit nessa with something. She and misha make quick work of the team yell grunts and give me access to the bike.

As for hop, I try to troll with trick or treat but then because I gave it essentially has hisuan zoruark typing i can't shadow sneak so leech seed and seed bomb bests the sheep.

Fun fact: Charjabugs typing is surprisingly good, only being weak to fire and rock. This allows lialian to tank a peck and ohko with spark. She also defeats thwackey too.

Welp, no cheese. (Meanwhile Jingfengwa makes quick work of nessas gym trainers)

Jingfengwa also was my lead for nessa herself, but I sausage finger worry seed and absorb isn't enough to take it out so I had naranjito tag in to finish goldeen and lianlian electrocutes arrokuda with spark.

I dynamax naranjito as drednaw dynamaxes. He max guards a max darkness before tanking one to trade max overgrowth and blocking one more...before shadow sneak doesn't ko and hes defested by bite. Juna switches in and tanks a razor shell before defeating drednaw with a magnet boosted electroweb. Hopefully I can beat kabu without losing a mon...(i had a hyper potion via naranjitos pickup for crying out loud) Galar mines 2, give me someone I can tank fire moves with, duria the wingull isn't a one mon army!

Thank you! Gastrodon would be great to have around. (Also juna figured out how nokki used air slash) I named her Haibao, after the 2010 shanghai expo mascot. (Oh and lianlian sweeps bede again)

I use lianlian for the double battle witj hop (because battery), even then the first team yell grunts Linoone isn't ohkoed by double kick (even though it did go down eventually).

Battery did allow corvisquire to take out the Patcham that came out next though.

After ny attempts to evolve nokki into noctowl and unity into swoobat led to them being koed, Duria (who i rarely used) evolves into pelipper. I guess I should let evolution take its natural path after all.

Outside motostoke I catch a sudowoodo, and name him lele (nanjing 2014 summer youth Olympics mascot). At the same time I send juna to retirement (idk how much more he can handle as an early route bug from gen 1), and claim my wild area encounters of miraitowa (Tokyo 2020 summer Olympics mascot) the electrike (which i wish I got from route 4 instead of naranjito) and Izzy the gastly (1996 Atlanta summer olympics mascot, max raid). For once im Ok with not evolving a trade evo because gengar lost levitate. And haunter did get used in vgc because of that and to defeat tapus so...

Yes, somehow budew learns shadow ball. The tr was from the same raid that izzy was obtained from, and the exp candies were used to evolve misha into bewear (which im glad seems to be on my side).Oh and Lianlian deals with marnie...I think she'll maybe stick around for a while as my dedicated wall until I find someone better suited for the task, considering idk when I can get a thunder stone, even though she's struggling on the offense.

As for my motostoke gym encounter, I decided to go witj litwick. Sure it takes forever to evolve but I really want to give it another shot after the last nuzlocke attempt I had with it it didn't survive. Like that litwick, I named it huanhuan (one of the fuwa, mascots of the Beijing 2008 summer Olympic games)

I think I'll save kabus battle for Tommorrow (so i hopefully stop throwing mons away), duria will prove handy here.

Episode 7

Poliwag plays through Sword again Episode...7ish? | FandomDue to a data corruption on my phone's system UI…pokemon.fandom.com

Before this I did some off screen restocks in hammerlocke before boarding the train to wyndon

Also I noticed Glalie was fainting a lot, so maybe I need another way to deal with hail besides having pelipper shut it down.

An interesting observation I found is that apparently SWSH allows you to override the weather with stuff like drizzle, but SV I think disabled it. That feels like a downgrade.

That said I honestly think hail->snow is better because I'm forced to use an ice type like Glalie here to maneuver around hails chip damage. Snow is probably more flexible so I don't need to have an ice type forced on my team at all times (which is honestly harder to come by compared to ground, Rock and steel types).

Can we collectively agree to never import tinkaton to galar? Thanks.

Anywho, now for the champions cup.

Hilariously,I swapped grimmsnarl in for this one and it's against Marnie. Didn't plan that at all..

No g max snooze for me.

Grimmsnarl is my lead against liepard.

We both went for fake out but liepard managed to win toe priority war. It then went for nasty plot as I went for revenge...and my sucker punch got countered by a hyper potion.

I then decide to go for dynamax grimmsnarl to prep for the mirror match later, and land a max knuckle to take out liepard.

Toxicroak swaggers me but I get Misty terrain off via max Starfall, taking out the frog in the process.

Unfortunately grimmsnarl hurts himself via swaggers confusion so I only get a +3 as opposed to deleting scrafty as well. Oh well. A full restore should do the trick.

While misty terrain probably is gonna wear off by the time I get to grimmsnarl, it protects me from another swagger confusion and revenge defeats scrafty.

Scrafty did scary face me earlier,and I have revenge, which I attempt to deploy on the g max grimmsnarl.

Grimmsnarl does end up going down here, but the misty terrain is back so I don't have to worry about g max snooze, which Perserker takes 1 relatively well before also falling, though he did get an iron head in before going down.

Weezing is my choice to finish it off, a bulk up fails to stop a sludge bomb from deleting him.

For the hop battle, I swap Perserker for Glalie, and lead with runerigus.

She defeats the poor dubwool with 1 revenge. Snorlax fares slightly better, living on red HP.

Again, a potion thwarts my attempt to beat Snorlax then and there, but revenge does seal the deal at the end thanks to runerigus low speed meaning it's gonna always have x2 multiplier.

Next is corviknight, so I swap to quagsire since runerigus can't hit that thing. Quagsire tanks a drill peck and fires back with a muddy water. Then we both miss swagger and muddy water respectively, though the next turn swagger lands and muddy water doesn't. Eventually, quagsire gets corviknight to low HP but due to confusion misses the ko...

Eventually quag prevails, but it's a bit weakened when pincurchin comes in, so I let rillaboom smash the sea urchin with a wood hammer.

Rillabooms got a few dmax candies, the most of my mons, so I decide to have her dynamax against hops inteleon. Of course, Hop sets up hail with max hailstorm as rillaboom goes for max overgrowth...

Uh...that was anticlimactic. Anywho, moving on...

Unfortunately for me this time, rose may actually be a challenge as l lack fire coverage to defeat him all. I think this is the part where I fight oleana first though. I swap in Perserker for grimmsnarl for this.

I just realized how ugly Oleana looks...with hindsight about g max garbodor it makes sense now. Anywho time to play "catch the league staff".

Battle of the Vikings in galar. (

Meowth lost. And a Marnie boost defeats the ant even though it got a crunch off and needed 2 eqs to take down as opposed to meowths just 1. That has to be embarrassing, losing to a runestone.

Wait no intimidate from mawile? Huh. Runerigus eq for the win again. However, excadrill is next so I swap to quag...and get a defense Marnie cheer.

Rock slide why~?

Anywho I got the rain up with rain dance and excadrill is defeated by 1 muddy water. When do you get quagsire in Johto again, I'm surprised mine is still useful in the endgame basically.

For round 3 I decide to let Perserker reclaim steel types honor. He taunts feroseed before we exchange iron head and pin missile (rolling a 4 without loaded dice too!).

Quag has to fight steelix (becuz it's steelix, I can't mess around), though this time she yawns steelix beforehand then sets up rain as the giant snake goes to sleep , allowing a muddy water ko.

A Piers distraction allows access tyeaho rose tower...and the steel type gauntlet. I swap Glalie for pelipper to reduce my steel vulnerability before heading on in, and have quag as my lead.

I had to use this because cufant went for dig. Sure using it with a levitating target was dumb but I really had to in case cufant would cause a problem.

Seriously? Now you have intimidate? Why? Intimidate I'm pretty sure is one of the best abilities, why wouldn't you want it available in most instances? (Also I feel sorry the employees who are just doing their job)

That said...muddy waters accuracy...it's pulling a focus miss a lot. Especially in the last battle where quag got defeated by steel trap, prompting Perserker to have to finish of the stunfisk galar who set it up.

Intimidate+Scary Face be like.

Anywho for frosslass I had to swap from quag to Perserker, and get punished with a will o wisp, so I swap to weezing becuz if I'm not a physical attacker, burn doesn't matter.

1 double team isn't enough to stop poison types from landing toxic, lass! (A full restore was used to recover off a burn)

Thank Arceus that's gone. Afterwards, rillabooms wood hammer destroys milotic, and quags eq defeats salazzle, and pelipper defeats tsareena with air slash.

Now,it's persekers time to shine against garbodor.

Unfortunately max steelspike with a burn fails to out damage garbodor as it got 2 weak armor boosts, and Perserker is eventually defeated. That being said the dynamax boost is gone, so I send in quag to finish garbodors weakened defenses off with earthquake.

Yeah quagsire did a lot of heavy lifting here. Again, I wonder how soon you get one in gen 2....

Anywho, I think I'm gonna wrap up here, this has gone on for long enough, next time I'll continue the champions cup. Will I get to eternatus I don't know, but I'll try to get there as much as possible.

Due to a data corruption on my phone's system UI I lost all the information I wanted to post today.

It's mostly just defeating Piers and Raihan, and also acquiring a Drizzle Pelipper who was sort of key to helping me work around the latter.

Sorry about the shorter post, I'll get back to a regular length episode tomorrow, in the meantime help me decide on what 5 mons I'll use alongside rillaboom to get from here to eternatus all the way to leon from the following

-Quagsire

-Grimmsnarl

-Weezing-Galar

-Pelliper

-Runerigus

-Perserker

-Glalie

Because I'm not really sure rotating around now is a smart idea, but I dunno who to use.

Also I'm keeping rillaboom becuz as much as I haven't used her, it feels wrong to box my starter.

Poliwags Scarlet mono water Run part 9: The Arc to end all arcs | FandomPart…pokemon.fandom.com

When I started this run,I think I told myself I'm gonna end at ai sada. Can't believe I'm already here lol.

1 last fruit sandwich before we head into the depths.

Alright, here we go.

Yeah true, why do we drop down here again? I'm glad the post game gives us an alternative.

In we go!

Someday I'll use a Bravairy... someday (I wish it evolved sooner...)

Snom finally won the neat name lottery when it evolves at last in 1 language.

So thats where Pimpnite gets all his salt in paldea.

The 1st station battle lycanroc just OHKOed it. Gyarados didn't even do a thing.

Drednaw took over this strecth and didn't do anything.

Also behold, my fav paradox Pokémon (well, tied with slither wing but still.

Anywho it put up a better fight than glimmora, needing 4 rock tombs (it's missed the 3rd one)+dark pulse and 2 baby doll eyes from penny to defeat it.

Pelliper took over for shift 3. Great Tusk was no match for mabosstiffs play rough+hurricane from my pelican.

Also I found more area zero lore in the lab-i didn't know you could read those books. The one at research station 3 feels like it got retconed by Terapagos and the crystal pool...hmmm..

Creepy.

Anywho it's the last streych. It's Azumarill time.

So that means slither wing and sandy shocks are the only paradoxes I can't find before the ai sada fight. Dang.

Great Tusk ohkoes nemonas lycanroc and aqua tail misses

Great tusk brick breaks me as goodra goes for muddy water,doing a lot of damage and allowing Azumarill to take out great Tusk with draining kiss.

The subsequent brute Bonnet gets decimated by play rough... it lived on 1 HP but penny takes it out with a disrespect dark pulse.

Flutter Mane gets rekt by aqua tail+mabostiff crunch. Take that, scourge of VGC!

Ok, now to destroy the ai.

Slither wing out speeds me and goes a lunge, cutting my attack in half. Play rough causes it to live on 1hp, so I had Azumarill go for a disrespect trailblaze.

Flutter mane mystical fires me, Azumarill fails to ko with play rough. I get para hacked by tbolt, then dodge the next one, get parahax again, get struck by a bolt and Azumarill is down. Floatzel can take it out with aqua jet as its HP is low enough.

Sandy shocks is a threat, I got nothing much to smack it with, so I switch to drednaw (`who still doesn't have EQ...) I get a quick claw and use body press. It does nothing. Earth power puts me in orange.

Drednaw evades a discharge and liquidates the magnets, destroying it.

I'm counting on you now pelliper.

I misclick surf as bonnet giga drains, then I go for hurricane, it barely lives and gets a giga drain off, pelliper gets decimated by sucker punch.

Aqua Jet isn't enough to ko, I get hit with payback, and Floatzel just survives enough to take it out with another aqua jet.

Floatzel isn't healthy, so I send quaquaval against scream tail.

I tera water, eat a play rough, then deal good damage with aqua step. With the rain still up, a rain boosted aqua jet (which crits) defeats scream tail.

Now for the final boss: can CC beat the roaring moon?

It does! Yay!

Welp.

Fine I'll stop fooling around game.

First turn I get taunted and fish for burn with flamethrower. It does nothing and no burn.

Next I go for normal tera blast as it goes for flamethrower. Still nothing.

I attempt to collision course...as it goes for bulk up. Argh... still collision course does more damage than the other 2, so I go for it again...

My Koraidon lives on 1hp from giga impact as I deal another collision course.

I go for another collision course (c'mon let me tera) and it does ok damage.

I finally get to tera as I get an omniboost.

The opposing Koraidon barely lives a tera blast as my Koraidon uses power of friendship to live a flamethrower. One more defeats it as the story draws to a close.

Welp, that concludes this playthrough.

I've got another SV playthrough starting tomorrow, stay tuned.

(Edit: lol the credits is still English. What?)

Part 8

https://pokemon.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000003823495

Poliwags Scarlet and Violet mono water playthrough part 8; Stars and Titans fall | FandomPart…pokemon.fandom.com

I just decided to let my mons fool around with the ball and this happened. Yikes.

Anywho it's nighttime, time to end Starfall .

Ok,let's do this.

Azumarill used trailblaze on his lead, but it got yawned.

So I swapped to quaquaval to eat a foul play. Should have used pelliper instead. Never mind, CC can take it out....or not...

I swap in Floatzel and it takes way more damage from foul play that my dancing duck, so I check their attack stats (they're the same).

However I found that most of my team is evd in physical attack thanks to the mons we felled. Oof.

Floatzel manages to take out oranguru with aqua jet and I replace it with Gyarados as abomasnow comes in. I was gonna use pelliper, but remembered pellipers ability would likely go second as its under levelled.

Gyarados does nothing to abomasnow with crunch as it sets up a veil, so I swap into Azumarill who tanks a blizzard. Abomasnow then takes a ice shard as I draining kiss (reasoning is it work around the snow, which can give me bulk with lefties. The same events happened again for the next 2 turns as the snow is stalled out-and the veil too. Another ice shard...and abomasnow is down to a play rough!

I had no idea what this was,and kept Azumarill in. Turns out it was houndoom, who goes down to 1 aqua tail .

On the oncoming Gyarados, Azumarill goes for. draining kiss to work around intimidate (becuz what can hurricane to Gyarados anyway-and the rain could backfire), while Gyarados goes for stone miss and eq. It was doing nothing so I switch to drednaw on a stone miss, and it managed to outrun Gyarados and take it out with a rock tomb, a d chews up polteageist.

Oh man it's daytime now...nvm.

Meowscarada is last, so I swap pelliper in and tera to flying...and gets hit by a T punch and paralyzed,..but ...

Ironically enough, meowscarada had the level advantage, but it's paper thin defenses let pelliper one shot it with hurricane. Oof.

Anywho becuz it's daytime I can't fight penny, so I heal up and start thinking on how to beat arven...

Jeez, don't be so hard in urself...

Unironically the 1st time I actually read occulture. Yeah sorry I'm late to the party. (Though flutter mane and roaring moon in the same room...did they know...?)

Anywho, now to battle!

...oops I led with Azumarill. Idk if huge power can break through this things defense.

We trade blows with trailblaze vs body slam, and Azumarill gets paralyzed from the 1st body slam, so I full restore it to get rid of it. I get to +4 and take out Greedent with a disrespect draining kiss.

In comes toedscruel, which misses a power whip as I go for draining kiss to heal up, and then I take it out with a crit play rough.

Idk if scovillains weak to water...

I tera normal to eat an energy ball but miss a play rough, then draining kiss as scovillain misses it's move. 1 play rough takes it down to half health as Azumarill dodges a fire blast. Another play rough takes it out.

In comes Garg, which I'm scared of due to yp salt cure. Turns out it just set up rocks, then got take. Out by 1 aqua tails. That's odd considering garg is supposed to be physically tanky.

I don't know how, but Azumarill deals just under half to cloyster, dodges icicle spear completely, and then crits the next play rough to take out the oyster.

4pp left on play rough so I go draining kiss on mabostiff...it does nothing. It goes for a crunch, which doesn't cut my HP in half (as in deal half hp, nothing like pain split). I go draining kiss again, dodge a second crunch.

I go draining kiss. It lived on 1 health, then burns me!

...and there's epic Azumarill sweep number 2!

1 down, 2 to go. Unfortunately it's still daytime...so...I guess off the find titan Tatsugiri.

Well that was easy. I may or may not use it, probably should have koed it to get Gyarados and Floatzel better levels, but oh well

No way I'm getting another Azumarill sweep.

Azumarill manages to dodge baby doll eyes and gets Vaporeon to low HP with play rough.

I played Umbreon like a fiddle with a disrespect draining kiss as it went for baby doll eyes.

Jolteon comes in and I swap Azumarill die drednaw, who has bulldoze.

I get quick claw and get Jolteon to orange...then drednaw gets electrocuted by thunder.

I attempted to aqua jet ko it with Floatzel. It lived on 1 health again, so it took 2.

Anywho, pelliper faces off against leafeon, and blows the grass type away.

Pellipers hurricane doesn't take out Vaporeon of course, but I get the confusion. Unfortunately, a Hydro Pump took out pelliper, but Azumarill was able to get payback with 2 trailblazes. The oncoming Flareon gets destroyed by 1 aqua tail.

I have no fairy type coverage, so i go for play rough in Sylveon as it teras...

Argh... anywho so I try to take advantage of the leftover rain by tera water aqua jet on Floatzel in hopes of taking it out...and fail.

Anywho, quaquaval also packed aqua jet, so I managed to finish off the battle there. Now I can take on the elite 4 after some mashing.

It's always weird seeing English here as I'm on non English speaking mode.

Ummm...I wonder why?

I wonder why the plot forces us to go in there then...

Draco? That sounds neat ...except non of my team can use it. Oof.

And now...e4 and Geeta time

Yep I accidentally oofed the first one.

Time for epic pelliper sweep.

Nah I ...nearly got screwed by whiscash future sight and stone miss from donphan...

And sandstor from dugtrio... twice. Ended up sacking Floatzel to preserve the sweep...and jist surfed the dugtrio instead of hurricane spam (and an ice beam miss...is it sand veil), as well as camerupt. Though in the end I just scrapped trying to sweep becuz clod can eat hurricanes, ice beams and whatever for days, and surf does nothing,so quaquaval beats clod with 2 CCs.

Ok, I'm not playing around anymore.

Poppy's copperjah nearly destroys quaquaval with play rough after I go for an aqua step, luckily aqua jet could take it out.

Corviknight is next so I send in Azumarill to overpower it's defenses.

1 aqua tail did this much. The next one missed. The last one took corviknight out. The bird kept using brave bird for some reason.

Magnezone comes in so I send in quaquaval...

CC didn't one shot it, but aqua jet could.

Bronzong is next in, and I counter with Gyarados.

I set up 1 d dance, and survive a zen headbutt. Waterfall almost takes out the bell, I survive another zen headbutt, likely due to intimidate. One more waterfall destroys the bell.

For some reason +1 tera water waterfall isn't enough to take out Tinkaton, but Tinkaton goes for stone miss so luckily I tera'd. Another waterfall finishes the job.

Larry uses a team of fliers, so I lead drednaw (who has rock tomb...yes still no rock slide or stone miss, but at least rock tomb I think can trust to land more)...then swap to pelliper to counter his Tropius lead with an ice beam as it goes for solar beam. Tropius gets turned into a popsicle as as staraptor comes in, who take pelliper to orange with brave bird before falling to ice beam.

Pelliper lives a dragon pulse from altaria on 5hp and takes it out with ice beam too...as its unhealthy I swap drednaw into a pom pom oricorios revelation dance.

It hurt, but rock tomb somehow ohkoed (no qukc claw boost either).Drednaw definitely didn't want to eat a CC, so I swap Gyarados in on flamingo, but it's scrappy shit Gyarados down...but Gyarados could still take it out with 2 ice fangs.

For Hassel, I'm gonna just let Azumarill destroy his team of dragons.

Noivern super fangs my Azumarill (it's slow) but 3 draining kisses is enough to take it out.

Azumarill can't hurt the incoming dragalge, so I have drednaw come in and bulldoze it. Dragalge whips out the t bolt, forcing me to tera Normal Azumarill after drednaw gets turned into alligator snapping turtle salad, and 1 draining kiss+play rough decimates it.

Flapple seeds me, and I fail to draining kiss ko. It lands dragon rush, and I defeat it with play rough.

I swap Azumarill out to get rid of leech seed, then Floatzel takes out the haxorus with power of friendship (it lived on 1hp).

Surprisingly Bax uses icicle Crash on Azumarill instead of glaive rush after it terasz and barely survives a play rough. Glaive rush shreds Azumarill...but quaquaval is still healthy enough to take out baxcalibur with aqua jet soon after.

Funny how 2 of my mons attempted to learn wave crash. Floatzel has it, quaquaval not so much (I need both aqua step and aqua jet)

Woah, scary.

If I lose to pre dlc Geeta, I'm gonna be so embarrassed...

Anywho I lead Azumarill and play rough her espathra...not before reflect is set up. Azumarill tanks a lumina crash, and it still wouldn't take out the psychic ostrich. Another lumina crash brings me to -6, but I managed to take out the silly ostrich.

I swapped in pelliper to Gogoat to take it out with hurricane, but it failed as it bulks up. 1 more ice beam finishes the job with a crit.

Kingambit comes in as the reflect goes down, allowing me to close combat the general to oblivion.

(I wonder how kingambit is doing in vgc ATM with urshifu running around...)

Azumarill returns to take on veluza, eating a psycho cut and defeating it with 2 trailblazes.

Quaquaval then comes back out against avalugg. Becuz it's avalugg, it eats 1 close combat with ease. 2 though....

To take on her

ace, I send in drednaw. I click bulldoze as glimmora teras to rock... nothing happens as I get 2 pairs of t spikes set up and lower it's speed.

This time, tera water waterfall is enough to finish the job. Good job Gyarados!

Meanwhile, nemonas not pulling any punches, going for the stone miss on Azumarill as I set up a trailblaze, then setting up stealth Rocks (meaning it's probably Azumarill or nothing) as another trailblaze takes lycanroc out.

I little Timmy Tera on the pawmot and take it out with 1 play rough.

Orthworm nearly destroys Azumarill with 3 body pressses, Azumarill barely escapes. Dudunsparce, however, finishes off the weakened Azumarill after a weak draining kiss does nothing, so I swap into quaquaval to take out dudunsparce with CC.

Goodras swapped in, so I go into pelliper, intending to ice beam goodra. Rocks+dragon pulse nearly destroys pelliper, but an ice beam is fired off. I max Potion pelliper, then dragon pulse and ice beam ends me. Becuz pelliper left the rain up, I swap Floatzel in, who manages to take out the gooey monster with ice fangs crit.

Azumarill expended my tera, and I'm underlevelled so I'm in a bad spot...wave crash save me.

Wave crash Saved me lol.

That's all for today, area zero time tomorrow.
