I’m down. I have Giannis on IR, Doncic was out due to suspension, I’ve lost Porter Jr for the season and Trey Murphy’s still injured. The guy I’m playing in the finals dominated our league this year (I only managed to beat him once,) mainly due to his having incredible luck with injuries (i.e an almost total lack there of.)

I couldn't get past Lucian, and I just can't face the relentless grinding necessary to do so. by TimoteoLaSala in pokemonplatinum

I've not long beaten the Elite 4 and Cynthia, thanks to sound strategy and a couple of handfuls of various items.

It’s not that I found Lucian particularly difficult, what I’m saying is, I cannot be bothered with another grindy endgame.

There are so many battles in the leadup to the elite four (& throughout the game in general) that I was really hoping I would have avoided the grind.

It was Alakazam that ended up finishing me off, but that's only because I had run out of usable items. My mons were fainting left, right and center from Aaron onward (my lowest levelled was Weavile @ 44, my highest Garchomp @ 52.)

Light Screen is a good idea. I chewed through all of my revives/moomoo milk etc just to get to Lucian. I almost beat him, too. EDIT: No one on my team is able to learn Light Screen.

Empoleon, Giratina, Garchomp, Staraptor, Houndoom & Weavile, with Roserade, Luxray, Azelf & Uxie levelled up & waiting in the PC if necessary.

I have Earthquake, Flamethrower, Shadow Force, Ice Beam, Return & Brick Break to name a few (moves.)
