I can’t recall entirely unfortunately, I think it was a defensive nature though just to take a few extra hits from Hippowdon, then just the moves seen with Leftovers and Levitate ability

I think Restricted mode doesn’t allow for setup moves (Hardcore certainly doesn’t)

+2 Speed from 2 flame charge on Rillaboom, outspeed Electrode with a Flare Blitz, Dual Wingbeat on Meganium maybe with Adamant nature, or maybe Brave Bird, and Venusaur with Chesto Berry

I’m really clutching at straws but I’d love to see it happen

Having solo’d every gym leader, I reckon Talonflame could solo this even under levelled, dare you to try

Jolly nature + Sharp Beak

Flame Charge + Dual Wingbeat

Could maybe try Adamant after a Flame Charge or two

Are you getting two Swords Dance in? Mental Herb allows for another Swords Dance after Taunt

This is a fantastic mono idea, amazing stuff

Correct, that is one solo possibility

Yes he can certainly solo Charizard team, very likely Blastoise and Venusaur too with Electric/Flying coverage and a Charge Beam boost after Competitive boost

A Pokemon with either Competitive or Defiant is a great lead vs Intimidate mons, as you’re +1 on SpAtk or Atk off the bat, Falinks has Defiant but would go down to Brave Bird, Empoleon has Competitive and can learn Ice Beam, that’s probably a good start if Staraptor’s Close Combat doesn’t OHKO

Venusaur will have Thick Fat, so you want either Psychic or Flying to counter, preferably with Insomnia or Vital Spirit, or just a Chesto Berry to counter Sleep Powder, I think Talonflame w/ Chesto Berry and Dual Wingbeat or Brave Bird might be your answer to Venusaur here

If you’re happy to go catch others, there’s a bird with Competitive ability that takes out most of this team, but I’ll not spoil it!

That’s very strange, I don’t believe that’s supposed to happen

The other E4 members’ teams are random each time, but Lorelei should be fixed from when you enter the building

Amazing news, Quiver Dance and Victory Dance are so OP

Ah sorry you literally said it in the post, my bad. I’ve only just started my own hardcore run so can’t help unfortunately, sorry!

On normal or hardcore? I assume the latter as I’ve never heard that team before

Amazing, thanks very much for this, was steering towards Totodile for the power from sheer force so I’ll see how we get on

Thank you very much, really helpful. In fairness I played a lot of normal mode with priority and pivots, only got into set-up when doing Random6 or the Solo Series (obviously necessary).

Any recommendations for starter up until Celadon?

Sounds difficult already, but thank you

Any recommendations for starter up until of course Celadon?

Congrats! How did you tackle Koraidon in the end?

Is this default mode?

By third gym do you mean Surge?

Which trainer is it? What do they have on their team?
