i just got hm strength, and i have my mvps. skuntank and scolipede. i mean, my blaziken is my go-to sweeper as i got ridiculously lucky with its nature and ivs (adamant 27/31/28/19/16/30, toss in a couple ability capsules for speed boost and...), but these two helped me in the biggest possible way. since i have no idea where the toxic tm is yet, when i fought big badat the volcano, my skuntank was up front. i got a lucky miss, and hit that damned garchomp with toxic. he missed again next turn, so i hit him with smokescreen, which i thought i had stupidly left on skuntank. another miss, so i hit him with another smokescreen. skuntank then goes down. i pull out scolipede and use protect. his health is dropping from toxic, and he pops a full restore. so i banked on him only having a limited amount like all the other trainers, used cotton candy to revive skuntank, and went at it again, using cotton candies to revive pokemon when i needed to. i dropped his lv 75 garchomp with a team of level 43s, with item backup and him running out of restores. king of the damned world right now.
