gg no re

Fucking Castform.

Initially only had problems with Mimikyu, but then Mudsdale's Stamina kicked in and Mimikyu hit like a wet noodle.

Totem Salazzle used Torment!

I think the only one I struggled against was Kommo-o, since I didn't have any Fairy/Flying attacks on my team, and the only Dragon moves I had were on my own Kommo-o.

Hey I also had problems with that cunt

>torment
>taunt
>venoshock
It was a fucking pain in the ass, Wishiwashi's low HP didn't help as it was constantly losing school form

>>30981772
Totem Raticate and Kommo-o were hilariously anticlimactic, one-shotting them before the fight even started with Brick Break and Moonblast, respectively.
Lurantis was hell, however-I only lived due to affection boosts from my Alolan Dugtrio.

I also had issues with Salazzle because my team was almost all Grass or Bug for some reason.

Critical on Wishiwashi! It lost its school form!
Critical on Alomomola! Alomomola fainted!

>tfw mimikyu sweeps my team thanks to a ghost weakness and haunter landing every hypnosis

Wishiwashi was pretty funny. I soloed it with a Cottonee thanks to Leech Seed, the Totem using almost nothing but Growl, and not killing the helper Wishiwashi so it wouldn't summon Alomomola.

Also, a slow U-turn (such as Toucannon) helps with Totem Mimikyu to break the disguise and get what you actually want to use in safely.

Kommo-o using Protect on the first turn was smart, but it didn't save it. Scizor's Metal Claw can't do shit to a Whimsicott when it's over 10 levels below.

>also it Mimicked Darkest Lariat at some point which was hilarious

+1 Mimikyu was faster than every Pokemon on both of my teams. Fun times.

lol wrong game
>Ribombee used Pollen Puff

well, that was fun

>>30982771
Pretty much the same here. That totem alone gave me more trouble than the entire E4.

>>30981908
Nigga how the fuck did you catch a pyukmuku before getting to the resort?

>>30983101
Not that anon, but you can find Pyukumuku by riding Lapras on the route next to the volcano.

My first playthrough the only totems that gave me any trouble at all were Kommo-o and mimikyu, mostly because their typing was super unexpected for me but I still never blacked out.

>second playthrough, lose to raticate due to flinch hax and lurantis due to synthesis

I literally 1 shot those two on playthrough 1

I did a nuzlocke and wishy washy Fucking decimated my team with alomamola using heal pulse every turn. Rip Dr. Toboggan and Houdini

>Castform used Sunny Day
>Incineroar unleashes its full-force Z move
>Totem Lurantis fainted
pshh, kid

>>30981838

Lost my nuzlocke to that fucking castform

>Totem Salazzle wipes my entire team but Dartrix
>Dartrix used Pluck!
>It's a critical hit!
>The Totem Pokemon fainted
That was fun.

Totem wishiwashi just died to my cottonee having leech seed on it and helper wishiwashi

>>30981994
>my team was almost all Grass or Bug for some reason.
Same.
I had Decidueye, Lurantis, Crabominable, vikavolt, golisopod and lunala by the time i took on the league.
Got absolutely destroyed by the professor on my first try. (i don't use potions or revives in battle)

Totem Salazzle gave me both easy and hard mode

>Moon playthrough
>Mudsdale used Bulldoze
>Totem Salazzle fainted
wew

>Sun playthrough
>no ground type
>no psychic type
>Torment + Toxic + Venoshock on everything
>black out
>take a look at my TMs before trying again
>win because my own Salandit now has HP Ground and got a crit on turn 1
I feel dirty

>Dragon Trial
>don't bother to really prepare because I am told "the later trials are easy"
>things go smoothly but my faster pokemon get worn down and then the slower ones are trashed by the ebin Scizor and Clanging Scales clusterfuck
>get rid of the Scizor from multi-hit moves, so 1v1 left.
>Have a Hakomo-O I raised from an egg, level 44, ends up coming out last because whilst it's my Z-Move user, I don't expect it to be any good against a bulkier, faster dragon
>battle is pretty much over since i'm still too slow, but i'm going to try Z-Sky Uppercut since it definitely won't miss
>instead of dealing the finishing blow, the Kommo-O Protects, meaning my Z-Move will be blocked
>i'm pretty much fucked then
>turns out Z-Moves actually break through Protect to an extent, I didn't notice this until i realised the animation would have just not played otherwise
>get a whole animation of Hakamo-O's doing a full on barrage and Kommo-O's remaining health bar ticking down to 0, since the chip damage with the defense penalties are enough to defeat it
>Kommo-O levels up and then evolves into the very pokemon it defeated in a glorious pummelling

Z-Moves are great
