Emolga was honestly a big help with sweeping Shelly. I gave one of the seeds to emolga, used double team, then spammed acrobatics (Just be careful of anorith though that rock slide and aqua jet kills (especially if rain is on the field and since it has the ability swift swim) but prankster meowstic w/ charm will basically reduce anorith's attack to nothing. hope this somewhat helped ^_^

@Shoki What are the moves on your Meowstic and Emolga? You can consider teaching Nature Power to as many of your mons as possible: it turns into field-boosted Discharge. If I were you, I'd use Graveler's Bulldoze on Gengar now that it has Cursed Body and not Levitate, then you can just use Mightyena for finishing it off and getting your Moxie started. If/when Mightyena is KO'd, you can use Blaziken against Dhelmise and Skuntank against Mimikyu.

  • Global Mods

start with hariyama and growlith

fake out illumise and use flame burst to burn the forest

use braixen and evole bonsly

get a ponyta by joining the aqua gang

and use spearow or klink

but importantly get rid of that illumise

changing the field and not letting shelly set up the rain will help you a lot

cause 1. fire attacks are stronger

2. anorith will not get his speed or attack boost (her true ace)

and get rid of araquanid too the moment he appears

Im having some real trouble with Charlotte. I came very far with my team up until the the last 2 

  Reveal hidden contents

And i really really cant get past those last 2 because they both deal massive damage against my blastoise which was my trumph card obviously.

 

The rain dance tactic was not a good tactic at all for me. My blastoise is weakend everytime the field is normal so when the field is combusted my blastoise one shots most of the pokemon so rain dance tactic is definetly off the table.

 

so eveyone is hyping about the lycanroc tactic so i tried to catch a rockruff at route 2 but they dont even have rock slide in their moveset.. so why would people recommend this? I dont have any heart scales just lying around, these things are super rare.

 

Also been thinking about using maybe 2 rhydons instead of the alolan sandslash and drapion? They get one shotted anyway.

does anyone still have any good tips, i have no idea what to do now, check my team below as it is right now:

 

Blastoise lvl 69

- rain dance, surf, brick break, dark pulse

Druddigon lvl 70

- surf, outrage, dark pulse, dragon tail

alolan sandslash lvl 70

- shadow claw, frost breath, brick break, slash

drapion lvl 68

- cross poison, night slash, toxic spikes, brick break

malamar lvl 70

- psycho cut, night slash, pluck, superpower

munchlax lvl 71

- metronome, belly drum, brick break, surf

 

in my pc:

 

meowstic lvl 61

magneton lvl 63

rockruff lvl 57

mamoswine lvl 61

heatmor lvl 62

garbodor lvl 51

 

Ive been trying to evolve to snorlax as well to give me the edge over charlotte but ive been walking alot and training alot and munchlax just doesnt wanna evolve 😕

Also you should probably switch out graveler and mightyena for spearow and maybe litleo? I had a mightyena as well in that fight but it didnt came in handy for me at all tbh. And graveler was just a pallet of hp for shellys yanmega. You need pokemons with fly and fire moves first and foremost against shelly. 

 

Goodluck, shelly is an absolute nightmare, personally the hardest leader i fought against.

Get emolga to do some electic attack so the power switches on. I think the field wont work in shades advantage anymore if the power is back on.

Swap out delcatty and see if you can replace it with a ponyta or other fire or flying pokemon. I dont think delcatty will be much of help and you really need all 6 pokemon to serve a purpose against shelly. She is tough as hell goodluck.

Needing help versus Aya. Here's my team. Also got a few possibly useful Pokemon in the reserve squad, mostly Klink (untrained), Pallosand (lvl 44), Swanna (lvl. 44) and Alolan Sandshrew (lv. 40).  My Ground type attacks are being nerfed hard by the arena effect, Nidoqueen's Stomping Tantrum are taking out my Ground-weak attacks, Seaking can't OHKO Nidoqueen, then gets ganged up on for being a threat, and Raichu can't carry the load by himself. Any tips or useful 'Mons?

Have you tried faking out the illumise? Shelly isn't just a bug type gym- it's also largely a water type gym so your fire types aren't very helpful. You can either sub them for more flying types (beware of the anorith) or get water types since they're also useful if illumise sets up rain. Out of the mons you listed, I'd give a chance to emolga (both flying and electric moves would be handy) and espurr (if it has fake out, solely for flinching illumise and getting rid of rain).

I'm fighting Amaria and this happens:

 

I've paralyzed her Ludicolo and am fighting with my Serperior, both of which are the same level, 86 and it outspeeds my mon and KOs it. My Serperior is fully EV trained, IV bred and has a Timid Nature to boot. Even with the Swift Swim ability activated, it should by no means be able to outspeed my ace since I've paralyzed it.

Does anybody have an explanation to this?

Doesn't seem to have a scarf either since it's able to switch movesets as well.
