and you thought you were safe from sneaky pebbles even against the npc's

Wasn't even just that, I decided I could just incineroar bulk up setup on his snorlax, got to +6 with leech life/bulk up alternating against it, then used flame charge to kill it, then he switches in a fucking magnezone with sturdy that KOs me with thunderbolt.
Seriously, the major fights in this game are significantly harder than any game since gen 4. Anyone who disagrees probably played with xp share.
I accidentally KOed Tapu Koko. Can I rechallenge it?

Oops. I meant to post this in its own thread.

EVEN IN YOUR NPC BATTLES
STEALTH ROCKS!

Yes, beat the e4 again and he'll respawn.

Fuck that man, I'm not even near the champ, but I'm using the exp share and getting fucked up

The AI in this game does so crafty shit, but it's more obvious during Totem Battles.
A Colosseum game with this meta would be fucking hard I bet.

Best strat to beat the Elite 4? I want that IV checker so fucking bad.

Olivia and Kahili has pretty weak leads, set up on them with X items.
Get a Drampa for Acerola if you can, kills everything except for Froslass pretty cleanly.
Hala is probably the hardest to cheese. I'd say get a Ghost type but looking now his team is stacked with Dark type moves.
>>30050461
Either stat up moves or X items.

Hala is literally the easiest one, you can run right through his team with any fast bird. I used Archeops and OHKO'd his whole team. Braviary or Fearow probably work too.
