Ghetsis Aftermath
Ok, story time.
I lead Mienshao and OHKO Kyurem w/ a Fighting Gem boosted Low Kick, just as I planned
Then, I tried to get clever with Zoroark’s Illusion (with Scolipede in the back), set up a bunch of Hone Claws, and then sweep. I knew Mienshao would bait Psychic or Toxic on the switch, and Zoroark had a Pecha Berry so all should have been good. Unfortunately, Ghetsis went for double Toxic even though I was disguised like a Poison type, so I was put on a timer that threw a wrench into the plan.
At this point, I decided it was best to stay in for the safe switch, so o7 to Piendao (literally sacrificing N’s Zoroark in front of him, the disrespect).
Azula the Scolipede was the next to go (mostly since I only had it for Illusion anyway), and I needed to set up with Haxorus. o7 to Azula
An Encore pivot through Samurott let me set up a DDance, to outspeed Hydreigon, but I got burned by Eelektross (I thought I’d given it a Lum Berry), so I missed the kill on Hydreigon. o7 to Korra
Mienshao took out the Hydreigon with a Low Kick, but was taken down by Toxicroak. o7 to Tenzin the dragonslayer
Aang the Samurott dodged a final crit and got the three of us out of there, but these were NOT Pokemon I wanted to lose right before the Elite 4. My only other deaths so far have been Liepard (planned sac against Clay) and Jellicent (died to some random Hiker’s Belly Drumming Darmanitan, I wasn’t happy), so at least I’ve still got a decent box to work with.
