>SpA boosted Petal Dance
>can 2KO everything that resists it

Fucking Hala in E4 KO'd 5 of my pokemon. My only real fighting counter was Decidueye, which got Knock Off'd to death, and then it was just suffering.

>>30067593
The fucking training school
A-Grimer, A-Meowth and Magnemite are hard as hell to beat, i was with just Rowlett and Grubbin, thanks to god the latter learns Mud Slap

Red OHKO'd my entire team with Charizard.

Totem Lurantis

Totem Lurantis

>Lurantis used Solar Blade!
>almost killing Lurantis
>Lurantis used Synthesis!
>Castform used Weather Ball!

Fuck off. I was with Dartrix and Charjabug counting on their Flying and Bug type moves, but it was nothing. Won this battle with 4 Pokémon fainted and Snorlax with 3 HP.

>>30067593
I love my current team, but It has a really bad weakness to ground.

Needless to say, Hapu gave me alot of trouble

Im glad I'm not the only one who got fucked by Guzma's Ariados

That Fell Stinger buff is fucking dangerous

>>30067685
lol I managed to setup 2 nasty plots alongside her cosmic powers and then 2hko without getting roared. sorry bro.

>>30067593
What the fuck is Hapu's Mussdale made out of? Also
>Gastrodon used Recover
Legitimately the most fun I've ever had in the main story of a Pokemon game. That fight was great.

>>30067660
Oh god, that. I actually blacked out there on my nuzlocke run. Had Litten, Pikipek and Magnemite. The NPC's magnemite got a paralysis hax on Litten, and then the Meowth's bite flinched me three times in a row. Just nothing that could be done from there, it was horseshit.

>>30067741
I had a similar situation. That Castform was more dangerous than the totem, and sun boosted synthesis is stronk as fuck.

>>30067685
>Clefable used Cosmic Power!
Fuck, this is going to suck isn't it.
>Clefable used Metronome!
>Metronome let Clefable use Haze!
pffffffffhahahahahaha

>>30067818
Hapu's battle was amazing, there was a ton of strategy. She switched a lot too after setting up sandstorms and I was like damn, this is a great fight.

>>30067741
So the totem pokemon's allys aren't set? The one I fought called a fomantis.

>>30067741
This so far. Thank god for yawn on my snorlax shutting down Lurantis for 3 turns.

>>30067941
Nope, Lurantis called a trumbeak for my trial.

>>30067941
Each Totem has two allies that it can call. Totem Wishiwashi can call a Helping Hand / Heal Pulse Alomolola, that shit can screw you over very fast.

>>30067941
It's random

It can also summon a Trumbeak who confuses and screeches constantly

A wild Ditto
Jesus Christ that thing was fucking crazy, I was initially going easy on it because I wanted to capture it then the bastard proceeded to sweep the shit out of me

I only fucking won because Affection hax let me dodge a hit

I also wiped to Lurantis twice
And to that trainer with a Fearow that used a Z-Move
To be fair, I'm using a party that's mostly bugs, the others are weak to flying too. I'm triggered by every Fearow I see now

You guys do not know the meaning of HELL until you try to catch an Exeggcute without Thunder Wave on your team.

The fucking thing called for help SEVENTEEN TURNS IN A ROW. AND IT SUCCEEDED EVERY SINGLE TIME.

SEVENTEEN
FUCKING
TURNS

Yeah, I know they won't call for help if statused, but I didn't have a Thunder Wave in my party and the thing is immune to sleep powder because it's grass type.

I eventually gave up and succumbed to my rage and KO'd it. I don't give a shit if it's a nuzlocke run and that means I have one fewer pokemon to catch, absolutely fucking nothing is worth putting up with that.

>>30068144
They also get Taunt.

I got my ass SWEPT by Hau's Alolan Raichu.

My team at the time was was:
Dartrix (evolves out of his thunder weakness)
Mareanie
Wimpod (level 29)
Crabrawler (was a placeholder for Mimikyu)
Slandit
Charjabug

Hau sends out his Raichu, and I look at my lineup and I'm like "welp, hope Charjabug can kill this thing" (it didn't). So I figure I can take the L, come back and beat his ass (you can't) and it might be the only time I've lost to your rival since RBY when I was 8.

It's a shame, I was looking forward to it being challenging

this is a thread I never expected to read in my life

Clefable got Geomancy from Metronome and most of my shit was spA offensive so I almost lose to her too

I had a similar experience with this little asshole. I didn't have anyone with T.Wave and all my 'mons either barely scratched it or would kill it outright.

Lurantis and Kukui

>>30068123
>I know they won't call for help if statused
I dunno man. I've had sleeping pokemons call for help which was pretty funny but infuriating as well when i just wanted to catch it.

POST YO TEAMS SENPAI
>Luchalitten
>Trump rat
>Gyarados
>Magnemite
>Misdreavous
>A Grimer

When I went up against Kukui, his team was 10-12 levels higher than mine, and I wasn't using any items while he had 4 full restores.

That one took me a few tries, but damn if it wasn't satisfying to win. In the end it was priority burns from Toucannon that got me through.

>>30068405
Maybe it's just paralysis, then. I know a paralyzed pokemon won't call for help, but some people have said it applies to all status effects.

>>30068059
First impression it's the way to go against that fucking Raichu

>mfw fighting Hapu with no special attack Pokemon
Believing in aqua jet Goliosopod was a mistake

>>30068381
This is all thanks to Gamefreak stepping up and letting story trainers allocate EVs into their pokemon. Even Ilima has a 252/252 Smeargle.

>>30068415
Primarina
Amaajou
Toucannon
Arcanine
Vikavolt
Stoutland

>>30068454
I would've if my Wimpod evolved at that point, but I think my mons were in the 26-28 range then

>>30068394
I have a somewhat different experience but Beldum was still a fucking asshole to me, nigga couldn't hurt or suicide off of Deucidueye but the faggot just wouldn't stay in the goddamn ball even after leaving his HP at one with False Swipe, I spent like 30 Ultra and Great balls each against that fucker, and his spawn rate is atrocious too

>>30068415
Decidueye
Persian
Kadabra
Mudsdale

plus that faggot Wishiwashi kept on using growl to lower my attack. Most of my pokemon moves was ATK focused

I haven't been that hyped since my Monferno mach punched his way through a route at 1 HP

>>30067593
dexio's espeon
first gladion battle (tackle was doing a fucton to my mons)

>>30068650
Not to mention Dartrix only has Razor Leaf at that point and spread moves get lowered damage. I had to use a +crit item to break through both.

>>30068606
>but the faggot just wouldn't stay in the goddamn ball even after leaving his HP at one with False Swipe

UGH. I had Golisopod tank his fucking Take Downs while I threw ball after fucking ball.

>>30067593
Kahili because I had no electric or ice moves and mudsdale's rock slide kept missing.
Also my only pokemon that were not slow as fuck were Ribombee and Tsareena.


I wasted Mimikyu's disguise in some dumb shit and almost got swept by Dexio as well.


Lusamine was surprisingly easy for me both times. Her team was super slow so I just 1hkoed everything with Mudsdale.

Can I get an answer on that one?

Does Lusamine really die?
Or, Lillie leaves to Kanto with Lusamine to make sure she is recovered?

>>30068879
It says that she's alive but her head's messed up. They went to kanto to ask Bill for help with removing the last of the UB dna from Lusamine, since he was able to swap bodies with a clefairy with cell separation.

>>30069009
That's what I hears as well, thanks! For some reason, it felt disturbing to hear outright death of a character.
