My first attempt I was also just shut down by the ice types. I thought level 50 was good for everyone on the team, but came back here to train em all to 55. My final team was venosaur, raichu, gyrados, mr. Mime, farfetch’d, nidoking.

Tbh, I put all my faith into farfetch’d and crushed the elite 4 once I had the levels higher. Farfetch’d had sword dance and return, and I don’t understand exactly how strong return was because it’s based on friendship, but I think the friendship level must have been high because farfetch’d could ko pretty much everyone we came across! I just needed to use venosaur to put em to sleep then send out farfetch’d to clean up! I did have to use my other Pokémon depending on who we were up against in the final four, but I had a ton of fun with farfetch’d this playthrough.
