In hindsight, I should have opted for outrage but I didn't want to be stuck in front of an Aggron using outrage. He switched into Politoed, and I incorrectly assumed that +2 EQ would take it out, but it didn't. I started the battle against Scizor, and I SDed on his u-turn, which dealt roughly 60%. Battle 99 had Blaziken-5 lead, which is one of the scariest things for this team to face, so I'm just as glad it didn't take me out, hah.Ĭan someone help me with my team? I recently got a streak of 45 in regular singles but I lost to Ace Trainer Ellis due to a combination of what I think might be bad decisions and haxx. I finally found and accepted a nice new job last week after being laid off over half a year ago, so I don't expect to grind as much as I have since BDSP released, but I'll likely try to do a set of 7 once a day or so, at least as long as the streak is intact. This is so it doesn't become a problem via Belly Drum, which can happen when Officer Kenton uses it on the same team as Rampardos-3 lead. Between the extra base power on Surf instead of Scald and the SpAtk EVs, it turns a fair amount of 2HKOs into OHKOs and 3HKOs into 2HKOs when Suicune is at +6, but the main reason I have it is to always deal 75% damage minimum to Charizard-5 without any boosts. Sacrifices a bit of HP and the single point of Speed for some extra power. The only major flaw is that it can't do anything to Ghosts, so I have to be extra-careful about keeping Suicune healthy to sweep against teams with Ghosts, but that hasn't been a problem so far, and I think it's ultimately worth this limitation. Bulk Up is mostly there to win some battles of attrition it helps against Breloom-3 (which does almost the exact same thing, but with Rock Tomb it's what killed my most recent streak) and some bulky Scizors, and it ultimately speeds up battles against very stall-y Pokémon like Suicune. Low Sweep has 100% accuracy and STAB for decent power, which compresses its moveset well. Removes Life Orbs so the opponent doesn't KO themselves, removes status berries so Breloom loops aren't disturbed, removes Choice items so the opponent doesn't switch out in some cases (and/or so Breloom can outspeed a Scarf user), and removes Bright Powder/Lax Incense so I don't have to deal with it anymore. Knock Off feels like the most expendable move (and I'd probably use Flash if I removed Knock Off), but its utility is nice enough to keep it there. I've made a few adjustments since my initial post.

I was able to recover with Gyarados getting the Heatran back with Waterfall, taking out half of Regigigas HP, then letting Tyranitar finish with a Dragon Dance set up. The Heatran one-shotted my Cloyster with Magma Storm before I could move, so it was a poor 2v3 start. There were some clutch moments, such as Palmer 49 leading with Heatran over Regigagas.

I don't consider myself knowledgeable on battle mechanics, but was still able to clear Palmer 49.

My goal was to utilise a team that would enable me to defeat Palmer.
