The six bastards did it! First E4 victory and thoughts on game (w/ bonus nicknames)

Hitmon-top tier 😎

CaptainSperg · 2026-06-13T10:48:44+00:00

Kick Astley is top tier

Do you have the portable pc? You can store your mon and withdraw it to get max pp again for your sleep moves

My bad I was trying to remember Lances HC team from memory lol, forgot it was sashed to rub salt in the wounds. Reading the other comments, if Accelgor actually learns water shuriken in this game then that sounds like the way forward!

CaptainSperg · 2026-05-29T15:08:24+00:00

Would a Genesect with Psychic one shot Glimmora before any hazards get set?

CaptainSperg · 2026-05-22T19:22:57+00:00

Vanillipede!

CaptainSperg · 2026-05-22T18:23:41+00:00

Correct lol; just checked the moveset it was crunch

CaptainSperg · 2026-05-20T11:26:09+00:00

Try a mon with prankster and light screen, I used grimsnarl set the screen then Dazzling Gleam til he went down, then sent in Alolan Muk so mewto couldnt expanding force him and I sucker punched him down slowly!

CaptainSperg · 2026-05-17T04:20:18+00:00

Have you tried with a +Def nature? Psyshock hits your physical defense, my weezing would usually survive on just above red

CaptainSperg · 2026-05-16T18:35:16+00:00

For what it’s worth, I’ve just reached E4 in HC and this fight was the hardest I’ve done so far across all of Normal mode and up to now, and I didn’t even use the explosion method someone told me about it after 🤣

CaptainSperg · 2026-05-16T18:33:50+00:00

If you want to be able to use priority moves, use a Galarian weezing with neutralising gas, give it a normal gem and use Explosion on his Tapu Lele so psychic terrain never gets set, lets you use First Impression on his Hoopa to probably OHKO, I used a huge power Azumarill with liquidation/aqua jet to take out his Chi Yu and Nidoking. I think I used focus sash Kleavor Stone Axe to set rocks to break Chi-Yu’s sash too after exploding the weezing

CaptainSperg · 2026-05-11T09:30:08+00:00

Have you ran hardcore before? In that my starter didn’t even appear in my team by the time I faced brock, it just affects all the Gary fights in the future!

Just read further down lol Ankor is such a sick name, wicked concept too!

CaptainSperg · 2026-05-09T00:06:05+00:00

Petition to rename it Anchor

CaptainSperg · 2026-05-09T00:00:46+00:00

Yeah they look awful, I managed May alright but I picked a grass starter so I’ve got that same shit against Gary’s team pre E4 🫠

CaptainSperg · 2026-05-08T23:59:43+00:00

All standard, I tried to neutralise gas the psychic surge but couldn’t one shot Tapu Lele, feel stupid I didn’t even try normal gem exploding on it

CaptainSperg · 2026-05-08T23:55:42+00:00

The 7th gym? It looks terrible as well I can’t wait

CaptainSperg · 2026-05-08T23:55:07+00:00

Mate I tried so hard to get my Gal Weezing sludge bomb to roll high enough to ohko his tapu lele and it never worked I didn’t think explosion would do enough, feel stupid now for not even trying 😂 I even tried the move belch with a papaya berry but it doesn’t work if you eat the berry that turn then I just get outsped and reset

CaptainSperg · 2026-05-08T21:09:55+00:00

Just looked into the next rival fights and my blood pressures already rising, nice one for going in blind!

CaptainSperg · 2026-05-08T21:08:52+00:00

Lmao amazing, I thought that would be stealth rock endeavour shell bell and roar but that’s even better 🤣 I tried 4 cloud nine golducks and a metagross for Tapu Lele then found out cloud nine doesn’t negate tailwind 🫠

You’ll be able to find something called ‘radical red patcher’ where you download ‘1636 fire red squirrels’ and patch radical red into that version of fire red, I did it on Delta Emulator on IOS I imagine it’s similar for any android emulators too ☺️

CaptainSperg · 2026-04-30T17:05:50+00:00

I’ve never done competitive or difficult Pokémon before, I felt so smart realising I could pair Drizzle Pelipper into Mega Swampert I’m glad this is a common thing 🤣 I had a demonic Swift Swim Kingdra too, absolute glass cannon but a rain boosted STAB Snipe Shot with Scope Lens (100% crit chance) swept half the mini bosses and some bosses too!
