Pokemon Reborn Hard Mode - Sub 500 BST Only Challenge Pt. 5 (Ch 19 - Labradorra City + Victory Road)

0:00 Steven/Avril Starting off with the nuzlocke nightmare duo, which is...really not that big of a deal when I can reset on a hjk miss, on top of having the nopartnerai password on and vicky being pulse2'd anyway. I was planning on including a recording of the zero fight, but it appears to cause issues with the video rendering. In any case, it was supposed to be stall spiritomb into a megabee sweep up to clawitzer, then sturdy eject into klefki and stall out clawitzer while it died to toxic spikes, but that was derailed by spiritomb swapping out, leading to a much bigger stallfest to accomplish that outcome. 6:16 PULSE-Mime Completely free fight with follow me access, I just need aromatisse stalled out of dazzling gleam so raichu can set up. Azumarill was ev'd to do exactly 100% damage to mime on a min roll of z-play rough 9:29 Lumi/Eve My refusal to let taka die means i stick myself with Cal for this fight, who is not really an ideal partner here. luckily he's at least not an ai partner, and a seeded drain puncher can still destroy eve's side - baiting icy wind the turn i bring my medicham in for best results under trick room - then cal proves himself good for something (as long as i can control his every movement) by having setup on his kommo-o, which is much easier to support while i setup and sweep rather than figuring out how to sweep lumi's side myself. 16:44 Labradorra Cal lycanium-z successfully used in 19.5. changing the field with z-water or z-ice was looking difficult, since nobody that could ohko magmortar would be able to outspeed or survive a hit, until i considered lycanroc, whose moves arent nerfed by the field and can outspeed magmortar with sandstorm up. past that, shedinja and toxapex wall cal's team pretty well, further bolstered by pelipper. 26:40 Labradorra Rini Rini meets big stall, episode 463 34:31 Labradorra Gargantuan Steelix 34:58 Saphira She is never beating the fraud allegations. I figured this one out with minimal brainpower like fourteen badges in advance 37:10 Labradorra Terra My first instinct was to use seeded shedinja again, until i noticed that only excadrill and garchomp can touch shed anyway so shedina can keep the zoom lens on. easy to figure from there 39:55 VR Blake blake forgets his scuba gear, episode 464. was hoping for gyarados out after starmie - walrein is fine too, just takes longer to play around yawns. 43:33 VR Sirius the leads end up being copied from dumpy's monofighting clear, and the sweepers are from his mononormal clear. i checked those vids looking for insight on how the ai would react to certain leads - since sirius's leads make deathless a bit tricky - and ended up noticing all these mons were legal and could fulfill the same role for this run... so here they are. not exactly creative, but i did not have better ideas 45:00 VR Fern There was probably a better and more consistent way to bait a rock move before bringing in heliolisk, but... who cares honestly. heliolisk does so well here i can ignore the fact that haxorus has a sash on.
