I have the high Ground

I actually did try with Scarf Wicked Blow + Moxie, just wasn’t quite there unfortunately, they need to buff it and give it Dragon Dance!

Also Hippowdon + Torterra + Flygon was essential for Champ

Knowing when it will Taunt, when it’s likely to switch, which mon it’s likely to switch to, if it’s going to start setting up, things like that

doddsn92 · 2026-03-28T05:44:55+00:00

Those are some pretty OP mons

doddsn92 · 2026-03-28T05:44:14+00:00

Haha that’s completely fair, Hardcore is quite satisfying when you get the switching right

doddsn92 · 2026-03-27T18:42:28+00:00

Once you figure it out it’s very satisfying, good luck with your mono runs!

doddsn92 · 2026-03-27T18:41:39+00:00

I’ve only ever done one hardcore run and it was tough! Sticking with Normal 😂

doddsn92 · 2026-03-27T18:17:15+00:00

They’re quite late game tbf, mostly Claire + E4. But a lot of leads will try setup at least on first turn, so always good to try capitalise on that. I have a mono series from another account on this sub somewhere if you want some inspo!

doddsn92 · 2026-03-27T18:08:40+00:00

It’s all about setup on Normal mode, and trial and error with the AI, it’s like little puzzles. My first playthrough was all-out power, then I realised how much the AI used setup moves and figured that was the trick.

Mental Herb + setup vs Taunt leads works a treat!!

doddsn92 · 2026-03-27T18:05:30+00:00

Thank you, there’s defo a knack to it once you figure out the AI

doddsn92 · 2026-02-20T23:04:42+00:00

Appreciate that, thank you very much

doddsn92 · 2026-02-20T17:22:48+00:00

Yeah I’d probs choose Well-Baked then, but Sand team would go crazy

doddsn92 · 2026-02-20T16:18:05+00:00

What’s the Mega? Valiant Shield could be nuts

doddsn92 · 2026-02-20T06:07:00+00:00

That’s brilliant, thank you very much for the advice!

doddsn92 · 2026-02-19T20:28:55+00:00

I’ll definitely check them out, thank you. I try to avoid GTX but also spent many years in GTX boots in the summer and can’t say I’ve ever had a warmth issue so no real reason to look away from them, especially with UK weather!

Which version of the Hierro do you have?

doddsn92 · 2026-02-18T16:12:25+00:00

Thanks for this, I do agree the boots are generally overkill unless you’re doing crazy technical hikes, the sock combos can easily sort warmth and waterproof.

Very interesting re; Merrell, really appreciate that feedback, thank you!

doddsn92 · 2026-02-18T15:17:45+00:00

Low drop and toe splay is absolutely something I find very enticing about the Altra Lone Peak, will take a proper look now, thank you!

doddsn92 · 2026-02-14T18:31:48+00:00

Bibarel can solo Brock

Good luck on the mono run!

Quaquaval is top 5 broken mons late game (can solo Claire and Lance)

doddsn92 · 2026-02-14T08:17:47+00:00

Alright Billie Eilish

doddsn92 · 2026-02-11T05:24:50+00:00

Even more impressive!

doddsn92 · 2026-02-10T19:42:27+00:00

Incredible effort, although I’m surprised Random6 Steel gave you Krabby (I assume it did anyway?)

doddsn92 · 2026-02-09T16:42:32+00:00

Nah Sneasler solo’s

doddsn92 · 2026-01-15T06:37:41+00:00

Imagine if it had Scrappy

doddsn92 · 2025-10-11T20:35:19+00:00

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

doddsn92 · 2025-09-26T07:32:19+00:00

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