Bye bye to Golisopod
Queen faster with sludge wave
2 for 2 left but mamo is legitimately doing everything in its power

Because that's exactly what I needed to get past the 3rd E4
I officially have every mon weak to fire or fighting
My 1 silver lining is these 2 next encounters

And sludge bomb into mamo, I should be able to kill
And bye mamo? HOLY SHIT 31 EV CLUTCHING
Bye ribombee. Thanks for the switch into sharpedo.
Nevermind, sharpedo missed the kill by 1 hp
So now it's crobat vs staka as 2 last mons.

Nah, flint with max speed infernape
Last mon can't touch staka, but I can't touch it either
I need to stall out brave bird, turn, and roost

It's pretty dark how Jumpluff learns Memento
It's name is based on the phrase Memento Mori, meaning "Remembering you will die".
And Jumpluff's life cycle is startlingly short; once it loses all its cotton spores, it just passes on.
From Scarlet:
Jumpluff travels on seasonal winds. Once its cotton spores run out, its journey ends, as does its life.

Not an expert on battling by any stretch.
...I could probably use Sirfetch'd. Duck is nice.
Also, tempting as it would have been, decided that if I were fighting type, I wouldn't just pick Blaziken. Much as I want to.
Kinda feels off, considering how the whole "punching" thing takes some kind of backsteat to the "burning" thing. At least with some mons they do equal duty (Breloom, Kommo-o, etc.)

Hitmontop (which was evd to perfection), aerodactyl, weavile, ninetails, typhlosion and venusaur
Top evd perfectly to take exactly 98% on max roll from flutter
Thus being able to kill the follow me togekiss before the berry could trigger, giving it 50% hp back
And then sucker punch flutter before the subsequent ko from aqua jet
pseudo goblet
I'll resume the game soon trust
ashen barn
@sonic inlet catch up
Also, the last 2 fights...lead is the same. So you might want a plan into, and I kid you not:
Adamant slaking with an assault vest and a real ability that makes it so ground and fighting are 2nd stab (252 hp, 252 atk)
Ddance LO roaring moon with intimidate (252 atk, 252 speed, jolly)
LO Flutter with levitate (252 spatk, 252 speed, modest)
Bold Togekiss with max defense investments and a mago berry. Only move is follow me.
sonic inlet
Soon
ashen barn
The 3 offensive mons all hit like absolute trucks
And the back half isn't a joke either
Say...scarf electivire with actual spread electric physical coverage + ability to make it basically banded
And a banded crobat with brave bird and u turn
Blaziken paradoxically is not the greatest threat
Still hits like a truck, but that's because sun flare blitz is a nuke
pseudo goblet

@sonic inlet regigigas is dark aether with clear body or filter
20 stat drop in defenses
10 each
And the thing has power up punch, bullet punch, drain punch, sucker punch, origin crush (100 bp physical spread dark move), and curse
Regigigas finally feels like a legendary

Alright Nuzlocke update, after the unfortunate death of the first wild area encounter I went back to the station to catch Moo Deng the Galarian Slowpoke who was very effective alongside Rogue to take down Klara's team. I got an encounter from the grass outside the station in the Isle of Armor which was a Jigglypuff! That Jigglypuff killed Moo Deng and so his name is Lux because that's a hater move.
Also got an eevee from a guy in a station, Imma just put that eevee into the box for morale support.

Just got my encounter route 4, taking a short break.
On Route 3 I encountered a Pancham that promptly ejected us from the battle with circle throw (nearly killing a member, clearly didnt want to be caught)
In the mines I caught Cookie the Woobat
And on Route 4 I found an eevee in the grass, heck yeah. Named her Tabbytha after my cat of the same name
ashen barn
Meanwhile I discovered abyssal dragons. It's the paradoxes of the legendary dogs
And my god are they terrifying
Notably, they raise everything by 1 stage by default. Then, you have the other issue. Those are mons you either kill or capture, 1 per game.
And the first one is Gouging fire
With dragon dance, burning bulwark, which is now a weakish hit that is also cosmic power, AND EQ+DRAGON RUSH
I will require a specific counter to this new brand of bs
And I don't want to burn the master ball on one of them
I'm thinking fully defensive quagsire with yawn, recover and leftovers and just let Gouging admire the sire
ashen barn
Admire the sire indeed
normal cave
The sire has been admired
ashen barn
And raging bolt captured too
Now, the last overgrown lizard will be handled by a vaporeon 15 levels lower than it
normal cave
Dragons...
ashen barn
Plan is simple
Haze turn 1
And caught
Bolt and wake were cakewalks compared to gouging
Maybe because they were soloed by quag and vaporeon respectively
Well. Reached the final stretch of the entire game.
Claret hollows, where Chaos/Abyssal God resides...been so long. Once upon a time, 17 years ago, that was called Primevil. But I guess it's an Omastar form now.
But, as it's the very last part of the game...I think I'll complete the dex before then.
I did every side quest and thus unlocked the true ending. I have faith Kyubi and Hestia pack more than enough firepower to burn it all away (given grass ice and grass fire). I got every unique encounter, every item, and unlocked everything there is. Now, pokedex and then true ending.
