Don't even complain unless you're an owlfag because her Smeargle uses ember which burns and cuts attack. Not even having a side mon can help you from that. It's all luck.

That was a giant pain in the ass. Only beat it because I toxic'd it and just stalled.

>>30107993
Your choice that early is a growlithe or a newly caught Salandit (Which knows ember until level 24 so prepare to grind, and that move isn't that powerful)
Also castform just uses rainy day + weather ball the moment you send out a fire.
>>30108076
I wish they called for help more often and the chance for HA was higher. I spent near 100 turns (And went though 30 skill swaps) to get a fletching with gale wings (I know it was nerfed so you can't spam bravebird and kamakazi it)
>>30107834
I only won that battle bcause my Slowpoke managed to stall them both to death. My Grubbin didn't do shit.
>Totem Lurantis called for help!
>Castform appeared!
>Castform used Sunny Day!
>Totem Lurantis used Synthesis!
>>30108076
Holy shit this so much.
That shit needs restrictions. It's fine that SOS battles are a thing, but they need to:
1. Not be able to happen the first 2 turns of battle no matter what.
2. Not happen unless the wild pokemon is in red hp.
3. Not happen the turn you KO one of the two wild pokemon.
There, fixed SOS battles. People can still use them to grind for shinies / EVs / max IV pokemon through use of False Swipe and Hold Back, yet it also allows normal people to actually catch some goddamn wild pokemon without it being a chore greater than finding all 100 TMs each and every battle.

I'm probably going to have my Growlithe use Flame Wheel and one shot Lurantis, am I not?

Mine did too. Also, Wishiwashi didn't call alomomola for me either.
>>30108605
>using gen 1 mons that arent alola forms
why?
>>30108605
Thats how Wishiwashi went for me, yeah.
Lurantis is pretty evil if you thief that power herb away from it early on. Summons a regional bird or a castform but...usually the former and that makes it a joke.

Cut its attack with Baby-Doll Eyes on my Stufful and it made it beatable, just barely. Still tough though.
>>30107993
No lol. The Trumbeak will CC any fire type's defense to "melted butter tier" and kill it with pluck and the Castform can use Rain Dance and fuck its shit up.

>>30108478
I just finished my monotype run, you have to get gyarados. It's your only chance of beating the game,
>>30108809

I barely survived by simply taking down the ones that spawned in and pumping my mons full of healing items on the off turns until one failed to summon anything and I was able to catch it.

I was trying to get the ally Haunter to kill my Pokemon in the Totem Mimikyu fight because it was a shitmon I happened to have on me and didnt want it to steal any HP
It was like 20 turns of the haunter using hypnosis and some other shit move that didnt damage it
and it never died, I had to switch it out to end the fight
>>30107923
I honestly had more trouble with Castform. Two shot Lurantis.
Am I the only one that though Totem Salazzle was piss easy? I one-shot it with high horsepower on my Mudbray. None of the other Totems seemed that easy.
>>30118142
I used a Cubone. And I one shotted Raticate with someone using Brick Break.
Having a 4x weakness is not good.
>>30117577

>>30118223
Salazzle Uses Toxic to put you on a timer,then summons Salandits that will venoshock you,because its power is doubled when poisoned,you recieve a crapton of damage from an otherwise harmless move.
>>30118264
Cool and someone else in this thread did it with a Cubone. Maybe it was just easy as fuck.
