Pokémon Ultra Sun Randomizer Egglocke! (Hardcore Nuzlocke)

an egg loock is a special kind of Nuzlocke where as always any Pokémon that faints has to be boxed forever except the first Pokémon I find pero has to be replaced by an egg sent in by one of you and you guys had sent me a great deal of eggs so after Gathering the first few encounters around Melly Melly Island it was time to see what you guys had sent me I needed these encounters to be good because I'd asked some of my friends to replace the enemy teams and I had no idea what I'd be facing basically a randomizer with guaranteed difficulty so I was very glad to see the first egg hatch into Beldum you guys were allowed to give these Pokémon any ability in the game and your boy Moy did not disappoint giving Beldum levitate eliminating one of its weaknesses the second egg from sticks Beast hatches into drought Hound door turning it into an absolute Beast the hoppip from sergle isn't quite as impressive but perhaps having intimidate will make it somewhat useful the fourth egg from Jacob Maloney hatches into prankster Sabal ey and if we could keep this thing alive until we get toxic and willowisp it could be an absolute Beast upon reaching hoi City we'd soon have to fa the first major battle versus Al Lima and I was terrified earlier in the Stream I had faced this man in his shins and this is where I learned exactly how cruel my friends had decided to be you're looking at a guy who was not expecting to be hit by a quad effective egg move he had no idea shins could learn in the first place and with other crazy moves like ice Fang and Signal beam it wasn't long before attempt one was over losing attempt one before i' even gotten to the first trial had set the tone for the run and I needed to make better decisions for starter I actually remember picking up my encounter in Hoi City the egg hatches into a Moxy Machop from Joe Wheelis additionally I thought I could outsmart My Friends by picking a different starter this changes IM Lima's team and seeing his first Pokémon was lilipop I thought I'd outsmarted my mates a quick switch to Bruno and not only can we knock lilip pup out but also boost our attack with Moxy I thought I was set up for victory but it turns out my friends had got the best of me on top of facing a Rayquaza of course it has to trace my Moxy this was worse than attempt one but even so I was going to give it my best shot swapping out into Karen as Rayquaza goes for twister at this level twister is the only thing Rayquaza can do unless my friends were evil enough to give it move tutor moves this is why I send in Karen first since we can use priority recover and thus not get flinched this does confirm for me that Rayquaza only has twister and while recover is able to heal back just a bit more Health than Rayquaza's doing damage twister has way more power points than recover So eventually this is a losing battle Karen has no way of getting damage on this thing so I swap back out into Bruno twister does do way over half but with a held oreberry I'll be able to tank another one unless it gets a crit of course and if we Flinch it's on to attempt three but luckily Bruno manages to land the Lear before I switch him out I send in Steven who's basically my only hope at this point since at least we resist twister there's still the chance to Flinch but Steven manages to land the first Iron Head which does about a third because of that Lear things were not looking good but the second turn Steven manages to proc quick claw outspeeding and guaranteeing we land a hit but unfortunately not getting the Flinch we don't get the quick claw proc the next turn and twister takes us down to just one HP and not only does Steven hold we don't end up flinching and take out Rayquaza and even though that was way more stressful than attempt one we managed to make it through a Lima deathless and finally reach route two this meant I could pick up a few new encounters and I was excited to see what you guys had sent me ah at least the no guard hoot hoot from Captain Blaze is pretty good since we can always hit hypnosis both Machop and Sabai were overleveled at this point so we needed one final egg and Barry did not disappoint since water bubble Wim pod with Aqua Jet is awesome which means I'd reach the first island trial I'd told my friends to not go too crazy with it but then again I had just battled a Rayquaza in the very first boss fight so as far as I was concerned Anything could happen and much to my great dismay the first trial had been replaced with Mega Altaria with a boost to its defense how was I ever going to get damage on this thing well at least I had somewhat of a plan going in the the idea before the fight was to intimidate whatever we face with gardinia and then try to land a poison powder because Altaria goes for growl the plan actually ends up working out however oddly alaria doesn't take any damage before calling its Ally Pokemon swablu okay so the mega alaria has magicard this is going to be a bit more rough than I thought to have any hope of getting through this I need to get rid of the swabl so I end up staying in to land a poison powder then after taking some big damage from PEC we swap out into Steven Beldum is basically going to be our only hope here since we have super effective damage Dage against Mega Altaria and steel resists both of its stabs and instantly Steven manages to proc quick claw and deal some great damage with iron head but for this one step forward I take three steps back first Altaria puts me to sleep with sing and while that's a massive inconvenience the real issue is that Altaria doesn't have Magic Guard it's poison heel and I had just enabled this thing's degeneracy by going for poison powder this was going to be a much bigger problem than I first anticipated Steven ends up only sleeping for one turn and we get a quick claw as soon as we wake up and while this deals a lot of damage to Altaria growl makes sure we won't do too much damage in the future on top of that swabl keeps annoying me with super effective astonish so I knew I had to switch out I swap back in gardinia which is just a sacrifice but at least on the way out we can get an intimidate to lower their attacking power I was hoping we wouldn't have to fill up the fainted box quite so soon but I was left with no choice with my free switch I send in Marne to set up the sun which gives Ember more than enough power to finally take out that swabl Marne even takes a disarming voice fairly well I try to deal some damage but Ember is basically doing as much damage as poison heel is getting back so I've got to switch out but I do it at the worst possible time since Altaria goes for sing I don't really have a choice I have to stay in and try and burn these sleep turns but with alaria going for growl we basically won't be doing any damage as soon as we wake up and by the time Steven stops snoozing we're already down to just 12 hp I've got to switch out to get rid of the attack drops otherwise we stand no chance I send in Wallace who actually manages to dodge a sing my damage with Aqua Jet is absolutely pathetic so instead I switch it up and go for draining kiss which is doing just a little bit more than poison heal gets back the healing is also relevant since it gives me a few more turns to attack before love disk inevitably goes down oh no what a loss from here Steven is our only hope and while alaria immediately takes out five of our 12 remaining HP at least it didn't put us to sleep Iron Head does really good damage but after poison heel it looks like we're going to need two more St thankfully Dodges the sing and an iron head just barely falls short of the KO it all comes down to one last Dodge and Steven pulls it off alaria misses the 55% accurate sing which means somehow attemp to is still alive and in case you're wondering why you can see my face cam every now and then it's because this run happened on Twitch where I'm currently doing a Volt White 2 Redux run so if you want to catch runs like this live in the future make sure to go follow me over on Twitch grabbing my two previously overleveled Pokémon from from the box I had a full team to take on holla and while things started out pretty smoothly holl's second Pokémon was a shaman and Bruno ended up getting Bloom doomed kind of sucks since three of my Pokémon could have resisted it but in the end a fairly worthwhile sacrifice to get the KO with hondor and thus completing Melly Melly Island once on a calla I get my next egg hatching into the Gen 7 bounce suite and with refrigerate giving it access to ice type coverage this is the exact type of creativity from you guys that makes me love these challenges and with the new level cap set at 20 we can get half of our team to evolve before we take on the second trial here we normally have to take on totem araquanid in the rain but instead my friends had me taking on the lord of the sea Lugia with boosted attack is a force to be reckoned with but that wasn't all not only is the rain powering up its potential water type moves its ability is psychic surge setting up terrain that boost its psychic moves by 50% paint attack barely does anything to the Behemoth but Lugia tries to go for Whirlwind which apparently doesn't work in these totem battles realizing it can't switch me out Lugia goes for water pulse which does a fair amount of damage to Karen before I hit it with a second faint attack Pidgey tries to Whirlwind me so I realized what my friends were trying to do using Whirlwind to phase between my Pokémon so that I'd have to take unnecessary damage by switching fortunately for me Whirlwind just doesn't work and after getting some health back from an or Berry I use a third faint attack to get Lugia below half at this point I can't risk sabali ey going down to a crit so I swap out into Marne to set up the Sun and get rid of that pesky rain which means even though I'm switching right into a water pulse I barely take any damage then after taking a gust and getting a bit of Health back from an oreberry I go for a stab bite which does about half of Lugia's remaining health because I'm not at risk of a crit I stay in and take Lugia out with another bite the next turn leaving me with just Pidgey because of Moody the thing has a lot of evasion boost at this point so I swap out into Elder Lee who's got no guard to guarantee I hit each confusion to defeat the trial but a deathless victory against the trial would come with its consequences to make sure my team never got too overpowered and anytime I beat a trial deathless twitch chat got to vote a Pokémon off my team and while you guys were fairly merciful this time around voting off Sabai it still stung but our replacement encounter ended up being pretty good tough claw dreagon was an absolute monster and proceeded to tear up the game until the next trial even during the fire trial it easily handled the Pokemon we have to fight before the totem without taking any damage going into the trial we Face the most volcanic Pokemon there is really should have seen it coming after I Dragon rage it it ends up calling its Team Aqua counterpart I end up getting a lucky easy KO on Sharpedo with a critical hit slash it seemed too good to be true and alas it was why is it every time I play Pokémon things keep blowing up in my face but we won the trial I guess the good news was chat didn't get to vote off one of my Pokémon but the bad news was I had lost my best one anyway luckily its replacement was a rockhead aerodactyl a pretty competent single stage at this point in the game we're also now able to evolve Hound hour before taking on to lurantis the thing was randomized into a guzzlord with one of the most annoying sets of all time with the ability Harvest and a held Citrus Berry I could barely ever get damage on this thing it didn't put up much of a fight but the total battle wasted 30 minutes of my time so after you guys rudely voted off noct towel we hatch our next egg into draa and with analytic this slow-moving Dragon could be an absolute Powerhouse and so we had made it to the second Kahuna Hala really didn't put up much of a fight so I wasn't expecting Olivia to be too bad but after after dealing with her lead Nita Queen she sent in mega Scizor this was bad especially for Arrow who goes down to a single bullet punch so I swap into my only out to this thing Houndoom in the sun if I can land a fire move on this thing it's toast the only problem being in Pokemon Ultra sun and moon the enemies have eeve and mega says we out speeds Houndoom with a Savage spin [Music] out this was very bad news since I don't have anything that can hit this thing for good damage and mega Scizor is a defensive Beast I don't even know what I was thinking sending in roor since he instantly gets dropped by a bullet punch I send in Steven hoping to do anything bug bite only does neutral damage and we can take a few hits so I managed to pull off a couple of bulldozers in the end Steven manages to take Mega scior just barely below half before going down to the Superior Steel type I'd gotten some extra damage with flinches from Iron head but really I should have used a third bulldo desperate for that third speed drop I go for a low Sweep with mow before she goes down to a bug bite getting Scizor to minus three speed actually lets us outspeed with Mr Fuji which lets me connect with the dragon rage for the KO for now the Run was still alive but Olivia still had a crustal this time we weren't faster but at least Smackdown didn't do half of Mr Fuji's remaining Health especially after eating a held oreberry I was really hoping to take two more hits because Dragon rage just barely did less than half meaning Grandpa's second one leaves crustal with just a little bit of Health remaining crustal then gets all that Health back with a figgy Berry and hits me with a round it doesn't Koo so we're still in this connecting with a third Dragon rage and taking crustal back deep into the red with only one more Pokémon left in the back it all came down to this grandpa goes down to a Smackdown leaving us with only wimp pod and with the egg move Aqua Jet we're just barely able to beat the second Kahuna [Music] seeing the fainted box almost completely full and my team at the brink of Extinction was brutal and it meant we needed five new team members starting with poison touch pincer our second team member was regenerator quilf from there speed boost Slowpoke makes sense to me orth was super luck froy and finally we got a Gerra which I was super excited about until I saw tra with our new Ultra Mega epic team we made our way to OA OA Island where I instantly Frost Marlon against house Blazin so we got to replace it with a prankster RM wash it was then time to take on totem Mega Lucario and to make matters worse of course it got its defense boosted I led with Zenia who' taken a bit of damage from The Trial puzzle before taking an oros spere I managed to land a psychic which doesn't quite do half and Lucario gets its speed boosted the mystery of Lucario's Ally Pokemon ends up being Mew and because it's zenia's true Aunt turn I end up swapping into Olivia she ends up eating an oros spere and I ionically Mew transforms into her which means we're now facing two speed boost Pokémon I stay in hoping to do some damage with psychic but a dragon pulse just clean takes Olivia out I swap Zenia back in who's just barely able to survive another oros spere and to my surprise we even survive mw's water gun allowing for another big psychic taking Lucario deep into the yellow before Zenia inevitably goes down I send in Kaa The quilf hoping to do anything with Aqua Jet but forgetting that Lucario has a defense boost so we barely touch it at all and the combination of dragon pulse and psychic is a bit too much for our fish to handle Bugsy comes in next and we Mega Evolve it into Mega Pinsir it sucks to have to try and hit Lucario on the physical side especially with a resisted move and unsurprisingly quick attack barely does anything Pinsir does somehow manage to survive the incoming Onslaught and a second quick attack Falls just barely short of taking Lucario out despite being a critical hit while this means we unfortunately lose Pinsir at least it guarantees our Victory with an Aqua Jet from the goat guzma we then simply shadowclaw the Mew and have to see our Slowpoke go down for a second time we did just lose four of our team members so once again we've got to hatch a new team starting out with an intimidate Bulbasaur and the second into technician mimikyu thirdly we once again get a levitating Steel type in Riolu but what I really wasn't expecting was our fourth egg hatching into Diga I told my friends not to include any eggs that would break the game so clearly they thought this was fair so I was expecting a horrendous ability and it seems the god of time has a a bit of a confidence issue with the wimp out ability which honestly doesn't seem like that big a drawback I do however instantly forget that we don't have disguise and end up losing mimikyu to an iron tail honestly I shouldn't be allowed to play these games in need of a new team member we go back to the old drawing board and hatch another egg and Regis steel seems like it'll be really good especially with levitate there's not even a drawback to this thing feeling really solid about my team I went into the sixth trial the plan here was to lead with goopad and fire off a huge first impression and after seeing Hoopa Unbound a Pokemon that's quad weak to bug I felt really good about our matchup even despite it having its defense boosted I really couldn't think of a better play so I just went for it okay so things didn't exactly go to plan and my friends definitely got the best of me with that one so I went and picked up a new encounter and got my next egg from tyan 78 it was a desolate land syndic Quil who could have seen that coming our final task before leaving AAA is facing the Kahuna nanu who despite having a Mega Venusaur got completely destroyed but before we get to venture on to the final Island we have to make it through ether Paradise here we Face Lucine one of the most difficult fights in the base game and I knew my friends wouldn't hold back we're officially into the late game and I knew things were serious as soon soon as I saw her lead Genesect I lead with brus the Venusaur hoping to get something statused but also getting that bonus intimidate to be honest this thing could have easily had flamethrower and staying in was a very bad idea but the genc just ends up blowing up which doesn't really do too much after the intimidate second she sends out famosa and even though bug isn't super effective against Venusaur I decide to swap out since we're way more specially defensive into our defensive tank rhm because she went for bounce I can't outspeed with priority toxic so I go ahead and set up a substitute which doesn't even break from the bounce allowing me to poison ferosa next turn she does break our sub but that doesn't really matter since we can easily just set up the substitute again the following turn after getting bounced again I hit famosa with a hydrop pump this puts ferosa in range of being taken out by poison however a held eject button means it instead gets swapped out which is a bit annoying this brings in luxray so I let it break my substitute and get it poisoned before swapping out into Cyrus luxray goes for snarl which is a bit annoying since it lowers dga's special attack which means we can't quite get the KO with earth power but poisons seals the deal phosa comes back in and I really don't want to get hit by a fighting move here so I swap Cyrus out for brassus the intimidate here is extra nice since famosa is a physical attacker but she just decides to bounce this gives me the perfect opportunity to swap in Byron who effectively takes no damage as famosa goes down to poison Excadrill comes in next and with mold breaker we're at risk of being earthquake here and this little maneuver reveals the special kind of idiot I am to avoid having my levitate Pokemon be taken out by a mold breaker earthquake I swap into a different levitate Pokémon weak to earthquake this ends up getting Lucario knocked out by Brick Break which Byron would have probably survived but I kind of deserve that for making the goofiest play of all time lucian's AI just goes for random moves so Serge gets hit by a smart strike before almost taking xaril out with a hydrop pump we then just barely survive the brick break and take out xrail with another hydrop pump which somehow lands Lucine is now left with one Pokemon a mega Gyarados so I swap out anabrus as the Gyarados Dragon dances but the attack boost is just nullified by intimidate and I take out the scary scampy with a pedal dance the following turn losing Lucario there is a little bit embarrassing but these ability randomizers are extremely confusing sometimes after beating Lucine we head to Pony Island where I hatch an aial 8 Tauros we'd come here to face the final two trials and if they're anywhere as difficult as in the base game I'd be in trouble anyway but I had a gut feeling that this would be much much worse the seventh trial was versus Primal Groudon and my team was cripplingly weak to Fire and ground the only strategy I had going into the fight was leading with surge to poison whatever I could with priority toxic beyond that at this point I knew I just had to sacrifice whatever was necessary I end up going for the toxic and I really wanted to try and preserve rodom for whatever we face in the ultra necros fight but Serge instantly gets obliterated by groudon's solar beam but hey if I expected any of my plans to ever work I'd constantly have a terrible time the fact that we have desolate land tyion however did give me a a bit of a plan setting up our own harsh Sun here gets rid of drought the downside of this plan is I did just set up the Sun for Primal Groudon and its Ally hoo tyion also gets immediately sent to the fainted box before it ever gets to make a move by Groudon signature precipice blade but this does get rid of the harsh sunlight meaning we're now at least not in the sun I send in Norman hoping to do anything yeah the copium is pretty real right now which instantly results in dead bull doesn't exactly give you wings by this point point I had three Pokémon left all of which were weak to either fire or ground so things weren't exactly looking too good I thought brassus would be instantly torched here since it's highly flammable but not only does Groudon set up the sun once again hoo tries to as well but fails this free turn I've been granted allows me to put hoo to sleep but more importantly it gives me an extra free turn of poison and despite setting up the Sun the previous turn Groudon goes for precipice blade which isn't enough to take brassus out hoo of course sleep the first turn allowing me to set up a leech seed for even more passive damage which actually kind of makes a difference since it also takes damage from solar power every single turn I realize at this point I could have mega evolved gracius right from the start and probably taken a few more hits better late than never I suppose and Groudon once again goes for precipice blades instead of eruption and by some miracle brassus actually holds the Mega Evolution ended up making that bit of difference now sadly I thought I'd just be taken out so I clicked pedal dance which which unfortunately locks me into it if I didn't use pedal dance I would have been able to switch out here instead of dealing some pathetic quad resistant damage so once again because of my own stupid actions I lose another Pokemon on the bright side hoo has just enough HP left that solar power actually just takes it out and wins US the fight somehow we' made it through that absolute disaster once again losing most of our team but our new encounters didn't disappoint starting with contrary Chimchar then we got a beast boost traing in but our third egg was possibly our best encounter yet gutina with stall This thing always moves last but gutina such a defensive Beast I still thought I could make it work our final team member was bulletproof type null which had been a bit overshadowed with a new team assembled I was ready to make my way to ultra space where Ultra necros had been replaced with the only Pokemon that might be more powerful of course our opponent would be mega Rayquaza without rhm I had to rely on tanking some Hits From This plus one to all stats mega Rayquaza and of course I miss my first toxic the second outrage takes Regis steel deep into the yellow and thank goodness my second toxic actually lands I thankfully managed to remember to teach Byron protect to get a little bit more damage before I have to swap out outrage also gets Rayquaza confused which might be helpful I don't have any great choices to switch into so I swap out into gladon as Rayquaza unfortunately breaks through confusion and hits me with a crunch I didn't actually give gladon protect so I've got to swap out once again this time into Cyrus as Rayquaza breaks out of confusion and hits me once again with an outrage this wimps us out into gladon who unfortunately doesn't have protect and just Falls next turn pretty unfortunate since syali is a really cool Pokemon that you otherwise never get to use but it does pave the way for Flint to use a fake out causing Rayquaza to Flinch the turn that poison takes it out in need of a Pokemon we hatch yet another egg this time into fluffy Scyther fluffy effectively means that you have twice as much physical defense the drawback being that fire type moves deal twice as much damage but swapping sizzor into a fire type move would almost always get it killed anyway so it's not much of a drawback this leads us into a bit of a Boss Rush where we have to take on all the previous trial captains but we end up making it through unscathed which leads us to the final trial of the run if we can beat this we've made it to the Elite 4 whatever I faced my best strategy was to try and poison this thing and of course it's the creator of all Pokémon archus with two Omni boosts archus seem seem pretty much impossible to beat so I knew I needed a poison it as long as archus doesn't have something like oros spere or flamethrower we should be good immediately archus oddly hits me with a flamethrower revealing to me that it probably doesn't have a great move to hit steel types Byron as per usual of course misses toxic archus calls for its Ally and of course it's Pia aside from the fact that it's pretty awesome that we have Diga and gutina facing down archus and Pia this is terrifying on top of that I of course miss my second time toxic but just when I thought things were pretty much over archus pulls out Parish song I don't know if this is my friend's idea of trying to make this fight more fair but despite missing my two toxics I now had a win condition of course Byron lands the toxic as soon as we don't need it performance anxiety I guess now it was instead a matter of Holding Out for three turns and I start by going for protect instantly getting them down to a parish count of two now expecting hydropump and hyperbeam to try and take me out I swap out into Volo gutina is completely immune to hyperbeam so we don't take any damage from archus and hydropump is resisted with her Parish count now down at one all I need to do is Click protect stopping spatial Ren from dealing massive damage or possibly even taking Volo out and thus letting archus and pus Parish count fall to zero and while the legendaries didn't brutalize my team the fact that I managed to win without a casualty meant that you guys got to vote a Pokemon off once again and despite having Diga and gutina on the team you guys deemed Beast boost Flygon to be the biggest threat sorry buddy ironically our very next egg hatches into another dragon ground type in Zygarde 10% and technically before we can take on the Elite 4 we have to face the final Kahuna Hau who literally just ends up exploding which maybe could have taken some of my mons out if I didn't have three steel types and a ghost but actual disaster strikes shortly thereafter while I was going through victory road squishy unfortunately ran into an Umbreon with hidden power ice and and so we had to add another body onto the heaping pile of fainted Pokémon before we could make our final Elite for preparations before going in we needed to hatch one final team member this time into water bubble poo a water fairy type actually compliments our team quite well especially with all the dragons we have it also covers our crippling weakness to Fire and so we had our final team consisting of Flint the contrary Infernape with overheat close combat fake out and U-turn Cyrus the Wom bout Diga who withheld Choice specs hopefully can deal massive damage with Roar of Time Earth Tower oros spere and Flash Cannon Byron the levitating Regis steel with toxic protect to stall our opponents out and iron head and rock slide for some damage Juan the water bubble primarina with Aqua Jet ice beam moonblast and sparkling Arya Holo the stall gutina with Shadow Ball and oros Sphere for damage willowwisp to wear down those physical attackers and Shadow sneak to bypass stall and finally fluffy Scizor with bullet punch Iron Head night slash x-scissor with the Pokémon you'd sent me I'd manag to make it all the way to the Elite 4 and I wanted nothing more than to make it to the end I end up letting chat choose who we Face First since we have no idea what the trainers actually have molan leads with balant and my dedicated lead is Infernape with both fake out and a reasonably fast U-turn infernape's a perfect Pokemon to lead with I start with a fake out in case of sturdy from there I somehow miss a 100% accurate close combat but things get stranger when I don't get speed dropped from rockt himb with contrary it would of course be a speed boost but we don't end up seeing the stat change at all Chad and I concluded that the only thing this could be is bright powdered boulant with sheer force its ability as stupid as that is I really don't have any other options so I stay in and go for the close combat again and thankfully land this time with contrary close combat actually ends up boosting our defenses but even at plus one defense Infernape definitely doesn't want to stare down Deoxys so I'm forced to switch out since I'm not even faster I send in Byron and start a war of attrition after Deoxys goes for psycho boost it lowers its own special attack by two stages meaning it basically can't touch Regis steel from there it was simply a matter of poisoning it and protecting every other turn in order to secure the Koo but with the ox's defeated we run into our next problem and one that can't be poisoned celisa I use protect to Scout and learn that it has flamethrower because we can't poison this thing Byron isn't going to be very useful anyway not that he ever lands those toxics regardless so he SW by into Volo and the worst thing celesa can do is fly I then make it do even less damage with physical attacks by burning it but mostly I'm just after that sweet sweet damage over time that eventually allows me to take celesa out next up we Face Alakazam but it just goes for future sight so I immediately destroy it with a shadow ball mullan's final Pokemon is Roserade so with a quick switch to Diaga we had secured our first Elite 4 Victory you guys decided we'd fight acerola next and oh boy was I not ready for what's to come she leads with c which is actually Perfect Since infer pretty much completely counters it our fake out U-turn combo is perfect here we break the potential sturdy or Sash and then go for the quad effective U-turn which just ends up being a KO the only downside is we now have to switch out before acerola sends in her Pokemon giving her the advantage as she sends out buzwell versus Byron I really don't want to get destroyed by a fighting move this early in the Elite 4 so I swap out into gutina to dodge a superpower unfortunately buzwell has ice punch but it really doesn't deal too much damage to a defensive Beast allowing me to fire back with a willowwisp completely infantilizing the bug from there it's as simple as swapping Quan into an ice punch and then destroying this thing with a moonblast of course acerola would have a thunderous of all things so I definitely have to swap Juan out but swapping into Byron ends up being a terrible decision Thundurus hits us with Thunder Wave and while we're not expecting to be faster than anything this really stinks it then goes for volt switch and this is where the nightmare starts acerola sends in teron with comos of course Byron lands the toxic this time but comos completely negates it and this is where paralysis is incredibly crippling since it doesn't make protect reliable which would otherwise allow us to consistently stall teron out of its five close combats and to make matters worse for some reason I decided to act like a complete idiot because after getting flinched by the first rock slide I make a Runk killing mistake something I wish I would have tried before sending in Scizor teron is just slightly faster than Infernape by base speed but maybe just maybe Flint could have collected enough EVS to outspeed terion I needed ape to be faster and then I needed the KO Infernape had done it perhaps losing a third of my team will cause me to lose the run down the line but for now I was still in the game acerola sent an Excadrill which we deleted with close combat finally she only had Thundurus left but it was no match for dga's Roar of Time for now I'd made it through the fight but there was still half of the elite four left to face Olivia put up a good fight but a lot of her team was weak to steal making it a fairly easy battle meaning there was only one more fight before we made it to the champion tahil could easily end the run but I wanted so bad to make it to the champion at this point we've got very few options to work with but it was nice to see her lead with wheezing since we can easily fake out and then U-turn out into to Diga to dodge the sludge bomb because we're down to so few Pokémon I remov daga's Choice specs but earth power is still enough to take wheezing out sending in Articuno because of Steel the Elga isn't weak to ice so I decide to stay in against the blizzard and fire off a flash Cannon it's not enough to take Articuno out but the second blizzard doesn't actually take us below half and wimp us out so a flash Cannon finishes Articuno off manif comes in third and instantly stirs up trouble by going for tail glow getting its special attack to plus three immediately I really can't afford to lose any more Pokémon if we want to stand any chance against the champion I needed a plan and I needed one fast the best I could do for now is swap out into Byron in case manife has Ice Beam resisting it makes a big difference here but the real problem is going to be if manife has water moves the next turn it shows me hydropump and at plus three it does over half to Byron who finally has learned how to land a toxic when it matters most I then go for protect getting a bit of poison damage but also stalling out the second hydrop pump expecting the third hydrop pump I swap out in to Volo because of gira's great defenses the plus three hydrop pump barely does anything I then swap back into Byron on an ice beam to bait further hydrop pumps and here we run into a bit of an issue at this point I thought manif had used four hydrop pumps so this would be the final one it's incredibly distracting playing on stream but it's mistakes like these that can cost you a run here I go for protect thinking I'm stalling out the fifth and final hydropump for this reason I thought I was just safe staying in against manife and the poison take it out the next turn I actually didn't even realize that this double protect saves Byron's life on stream I still thought I was lucky and that man if he just had PP maxed hydropump and thus 8 PP when in reality I'm just a stupid idiot who can't even count to five after finally having some luck for once we take out kahill's toxapex with earth power from Diga which brings in her final Pokemon Mega septile at which point she decides to completely throw by going for sunny day thus allowing me to blast pass her into the past with a Roar of Time it had been a wild ride but somehow I'd managed to make it all the way through the Elite 4 a part of me was so excited to see what my friends had cooked up for the final battle with only four Pokémon I knew my chances were slim to none but I wasn't going to let you guys in chat down if I'm going out it's going to be with a bang whatever happens it's time to end this out of the four Pokémon I had left at least three of them were legendary so maybe we could get somewhere how leads with his elf so I'm expecting we'll have to deal with stealth rocks or possibly explosions I of course lead with Flint going for my classic fake out U-turn combo but for some reason after getting faked out how decides to swap out of a elf into Tyranitar this is fine by me since U-turn will still be dealing super effective damage and we get to Pivot out into something that's effective against Tyranitar I decide to send in Cyrus since not only are we faster but we have the quad effective move oros spere I would of course have preferred to get this with Infernape to boost my defenses with close combat but we're down to a four on five as how sends back in a elf and how is an honorable guy wanting to make this fight a 4 on four by blowing his aelf up with explosion before I even have the chance to attack it with the odds even I felt a lot better about this fight as house ends out incore he starts with a fake out which is basically just neutralized by leftovers I then hit him hard with an earth power hoping for that special defense drop but you should be careful what you wish for since contrary gives incin boost to its special defense instead flare Blitz isn't quite enough to take me below half and incinerar gets even lower on health giving me hope that maybe a second earth power will be enough to take it out I've got no choice but to click the move and it just barely falls short incent connects with a knockoff dealing a ton of damage and getting rid of my leftovers while simultaneously wimping me out my best course of action is to just send back in Flint I immediately regret going for fake out since I want the Boost with close combat but I actually don't get the k o allowing me to pick up the defense Boost from close combat the next turn as I take it out anyway with half of how's team defeated he sends in Ultra necma I knew I'd run into this thing at some point so I click U-turn and manage to outspeed the super effective hit actually does a surprising amount of damage and allows me to swap out into Byron necrozma fires a prismatic laser which is resisted but still does a good deal of damage I didn't actually know that Prismatic laser forces you to recharge so I waste a turn going for protect when I would have gotten the left over recovery I was looking for anyway necros sends another Prismatic laser taking Byron really low as I fight back with an iron head this time I know necrozma is going to be recharging so I waste no time and go for toxic this way as I protect for leftovers recovery the next turn will be a bit productive by dealing some poison damage finally we have to take one more Prismatic laser which does get a critical hit and Byron just barely holds meaning protecting for leftovers recovery really mattered and at the end of the turn necrozma Falls to poison but with two Pokémon left how sends out the god vona when first faed with this thing I didn't realize how bad it was but I did know it saw KO with by Dan so I swap in gutina and just prayed it wouldn't get a special attack boost I end up going unpunished that turn but Volcarona turns around and starts quiver dancing and special attack special defense and speed is not where the boosting ends since my now pathetic Shadow Ball triggers stamina to boost it physical defense I was in deep trouble any damage I try to put on this thing just makes it stronger and tougher to kill if I wanted to beat this thing I knew I needed strategy because just continuing to attack with gutina would make this thing Unstoppable I came up with a plan I didn't know if it would work but I had to give it a try Byron had helped to get me this far but it was time to let go I swap into a quiver dance but the following turn a fiery dance takes Byron out all I need is a safe switch to Flint I'm not expecting Flint to be able to take this thing out but it's still my best shot at getting as close as I can I start with a fake out to get some chip damage which triggers stamina psychic is way more than strong enough to take us out but because the focus sash is intact we'll be able to get one overheat off at plus two special defense from quiver dancing it's not a lot of damage and at this point stamina has boosted vona's physical defense to plus three and after another psychic we lost yet another Pokémon how would managed to swing back into the fight turning this into into a two on two Diga just folds to fiery dance so I'm forced to swap in Volo who at least has full HP Volo takes a plus two psychic and tanks it surprisingly well before firing off a Shadow Ball it doesn't even do a third of what Volcarona has left but all I can do is just continue chipping away at it it looks like I can take another psychic as I fire off my second Shadow Ball and at plus five defense I don't think priority Shadow sneak is enough to take Volcarona out after leftovers recovery it looks like we might even survive a psychic crit guaranteeing that we send that final Shadow Ball to take vona out I had made it to how's final Pokemon and this would be deciding the Run Champion how sends in his very own gutina and the only thing I could do was click Shadow snake with stall everything else would be moving last and as how gutina vanished I knew the end for Volo had come I now only had one Pokémon left and if this gutina has speed Eves we're screwed and if we do outspeed we have to not miss the 90% accurate Roar of Time whatever happened this was the [Music] end Cyrus had done it he connected with RAR of time taking out gutina and against all the odds I'd managed to do it I'd beat a Pokemon Ultras Sun hardcore egg loock 30 of the Pokémon you guys sent me ended up in the fainted box and as ridiculous of a sight it is we managed to make it all the way to the end playing through the ups and downs of this run on Twitch was an absolute blast
