So day before yesterday i defeated poppy and today i defeated both larry and hassel on my first try!
Here are my teams:
Meowscarada: Leftovers
Leaf storm
Flower trick
Seed bomb
Knock off
Hatterene: float stone
Draining Kiss
Psycho cut
Dazzling gleam
Trick
Alolan sandshrew: Never-melt ice
Gyro ball
Blizzard
Powder snow
Ice beam
Minior (shiny✨): Hard Stone
Power Gem
Stealth rock
Double-edge
Ancient power
Cetitan: Expert belt
Heavy Slam
Body Press
Ice punch
Snowscape
Medicham: Muscle Band
Zen Headbutt
Detect
Thunder Punch
High Jump Kick
My strategy:
My only strategy was to:
Make hatterene use trick and give the opponent the floaat stone, effectively making the target lighter
Switch out for cetitan
Use Heavy Slam, which deals increased damage due to the weight difference
(I also made minior use stealth rock if this counts as a strategy)
I didnt end up using it for larry, i saw no need since i already defeated him
Nothing quite to this battle, really.
They were both quite easy, and i defeated larry with 2 pokemon to spare (meowscarada and minior) but hassel... was a different story
I used the same team but i switched out minior for my: (mystery gift) Gyarados, which held nothing:
Water Pulse
Ice Fang
Twister
Protect
And medicham for:
Dragapult: Dragon Fang
Dragon Darts
Dragon Breath
Dragon Pulse
Dragon tail
Hassel was fairly easy till baxcalibur. i had 3 pokemon left: meowscarada, sandshrew and dragapult
Sandshrew got ohko'd without being able to attack
and meowscarada got one-shot too
Dragapult used dragon pulse and brought baxcalibur down to over half hp, and he used glaive rush, which didnt ko my dragapult, but forced me to use a revive for hatterene with her fairy moves for backup in case i do faint.
Oh boy, did i need backup.
Glaive rush ENDED my dragapult
And i sent out hatterene, who followed in dragapult's footsteps by fainting from glaive rush, but not before i used a revive on dragapult.
Dragapult used dragon breath, and that may have been the most stressful time i have ever been in.
If this left baxcalibur with even 1hp, i would be out, and have to redo rika, poppy and larry. i dont know if i could defeat poppy again, i got through to larry via dumb luck
But thankfully, dragapult did it. i mean, its my favourite pokemon because its cool and can breathe very heavily.
Also, thank you @Candelinot , because you suggested to get rid of my revavroom, i did. i defeated 3 of the elite four without it lol. it was just a waste of space tbh
but i am so happy that i managed to do it. tmw or the day after i will challenge geeta. if you have any suggestions, i would be so happy. thx for reading!
