I always have a Crobat on my team so Golisopod and his whole team frankly were a nonfactor

Easy as fuck
Guzma is only remotely threatning in the post game beach fight.
Merciless Mareanie soloed him.

The End.
First Impression spooked me in the first fight, but for the Aether Lab my Muk had Protect. Golisopod ended up being a non-issue.
What was terrifying to my underleveled team was that fucking Masquerain, with an honorable mention to the Pinsir. Both of those sons of bitches one-shot my more fragile Pokemon.
>>30189940
Same here, after the First Impressions the dumb cunt did Swords Dance and I activated his Emergency Exit.

He's a total pushover.

>>30190151
I was rather underleveled, his Pokemon were all higher level than mine. Guzma left me with two Pokemon but I then proceeded to take out Lusamine pretty easily without losing anything.
I dunno, man. I didn't have a Fire or Flying type so team composition has a lot to do with it.

You clearly mean third island. His Raichu swept my entire goddamn team.

His A-Raichu hits surprisingly hard with Psychic

>>30191502
Glaceon in Moon was a terror. One-shots on weaker team members and it wasn't even super effective. At least for Espeon there's several Dark types to choose from.
I dread Nuzlocking this game.
>>30191506
that twice the speed of of the entire alola dex combined mate
>>30191340
I was expecting to be able to reach a Center when I first came across the Battle Tree.
With an injured team of 5+ a Pichu I was raising Friendship on, I took him down to just his Blastiose before Crunch killed my Decidueye. Second time, his Snorlax seemed a larger issue.

On top of that, they're all easily obtainable during the second island.
>>30191506
Did you even play the game? Or are you just shitposting?
That Ariados wasn't slow.

thank god for this shiny clefable or i'd be shit out of luck when I hit the elite four
>>30191994
>Lycanroc
>slow
Nigger my Lycanroc outsped the Ariados' Sucker Punch with Accelerock.
The only one who legit outsped my team at all was Hau's dick-sucking Raichu.
>>30192132

Thats better than every other gen except for BW2 where there's literally no good fights at all

God, this so fucking much. I was woefully unprepared for the Dexio battle. Fuck him.
>Anon sent out Raichu!
>Golisopod used First Impression
>>30189763
>Golisopod used First Impression!

>Golisopod fanted!
>>30189902
This
Is he hard normally? I just used him to set up my Mimikyu, then one hit both his mons.
>>30190151
To be fair, he still made me panic even though I destroyed him because of the realization that if I misplayed at all, he'd have an easy sweep. If his Golisopod didn't have Emergency Exit, I could see him fucking a lot of people up
>>30190750
Seems like Pokemon would be pretty hard if they had more surprise "No Heal" fights, at least for a first run
>>30194245
>>30190247
Eh.
Fair enough.
Just having a Magnezone on my team meant Guzma was the easiest "criminal" boss in a long while.
>>30191535
Is there a list of all the EV and IV spreads that trainers (and maybe totems?) have?
I didn't even consider that the reason his Ariados outsped shit was because it was EV trained
>>30189763
It's easy to beat him, just usea golf club
I never saw a move from Guzma in the garden, Magneton Z-zapped Golisopod and volt switched 1-shot Ariados. What's it like being bad at a game for children?

for trainers, but not totems. from experience, i didn't get the impression that totems have evs, though.
