mario98 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 so half of my team is literally there just to serve as sacrifices while the rest buff up, which i guess its bad. anyway, heres the strategy ive been using- send out meowstic and mamoswine-meowstic apparently always goes last when using trick room(why????????????) even though when using other moves it goes before even gardevoir...anyway, i just use psychic, then pray gardevoir misses focus blast, then mamo uses icy wind. then i just wait for them to die. after send out haxorus so it can use shadow claw on gardevoir, making it red. then after its dead i use arbok and blaziken, bulk up blaziken while he heals and then kill granbull and gardevoir. then mawile and togekiss come out, one blaze kick kills mawile, but after that its just death(well, not really, but i dont know what to do to florges, everything else eventually dies). my team- meowstic 75(shadow ball-trick room-psychic-psyshock) mamoswine(earthquake-icy wind-ice fang-strength) blaziken( sky uppercut-bulk up- blaze kick-flamethrower and also speed boost) arbok( gunk shot-acid spray- sludge wave- crunch and intimidate) ampharos( thunder wave- electro ball-discharge-signal beam) haxorus(dragon dance-outrage-shadow claw-surf) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend getting metagross(replacing haxorus) and basically 1/2 shot everything with meteor mash. Also mixed attacker is not that of a good idea.

NickCrash Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 You should have encountered lots of problems till now if you have been playing in such a way. Don't go mixed. It's not worth it. Grind up some Steel or better Poison types. At this point in the game Arbok is nearly useless. Aggron, Crobat, Magneton, Golurk, Drapion are very good choices to use. If you wait till E17, Salazzle is going to be available, which seems pretty good against Adrienn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctelis Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) I beat Adrienn with Metagross (Clear Body ftw), Bisharp with Defiant (great way to counter Granbull's and Mawile's Intimidate) and finally a Sniper Drapion with scope lens. Finally I just kept reloading until Gardevoir missed with Focus Blast and the rest was easy. Also, might be an idea to give Metagross a Wide Lens so it doesn't miss with Meteor Mash.

WildRoad Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Since nobody said it, try using Kinklang. It is not the best steel type but it's preeeety decent, just try using it either special or physical it's not that bad, but if you realy wanna destroy xim just go metagross. PS. special kinklang shines most on doubles just take your time and analise it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario98 Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 hey guys, thanks for the tips, i actually beat him using my team(he withdrew granbull because why not and sent in whimsicott, giving arbok a free kill and no tailwind to annoy fire attacks), after that it was easy. im going to look into beldum soon. as for magnezone i already used it on so many playthroughs im not gonna use on this one,lol.

HongaarseBeer Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I do recommend you get rid of Arbok though. I'm actually surprised it kept up for this long in the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually surprised it kept up for this long in the game normal trainers fight are no problem, and special trainers(leaders,rival, meteor admins,etc...) i mostly use it for that intimidate+ -2 special defense. it also had glare but i decided to put gunk shot instead and keep thunder wave on ampharos. its also not too slow so it can enter battle, cripple the opposing mons and then either let it be killed or switch out and destroy the crippled people. finally sludge wave can change quite a few field effects into others and couples really well with acid spray. crunch is there because why not, even though its not faster than most psychics. honestly it helped me so much already im just gonna keep it until it really becomes unusable( which i doubt will happen). on my last playthrough i had bide pachirisu save my back so many times,lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
