Current location: Saved at the Pokemon League, ready for the main event.
Current team at L65:
Rude - Brick Break, Seed Bomb, Earthquake, Rock Slide (211 Atk, 148 Speed)
Anderson - Aura Sphere, Metal Claw, Psychic, Shadow Claw (194 Atk, 196 SA, 127 Speed, Mega puts them in the 240s)
Zbyszko - High Jump Kick, Crunch, Poison Jab, Dragon Claw (188 Atk, 140 Speed)
Austin - High Jump Kick, Zen Headbutt, Fire Punch, Thunder Punch (149x2 Atk, 155 Speed)
Eaton - High Jump Kick, Fly, X-Scissor, Rock Slide (200 Atk, 203 Speed)
Dangerously - Focus Blast, Surf, Psychic, Ice Beam (163 SA, 145 Speed)
The Frost Cavern opener was a tad tricky, largely because of a certain spectral sword who hit through Dig of all things (thanks, No Guard) and of course, Sawk shooting on everyone because I didn't bring it on this team. That was the only trouble spot, except for the troubling trend of High Jump Kick missing 1 out of every 5 or so that lasted the whole day.
The trickiest part of any Fighting run in XY is of course, the Psychic gym. Zbyszko had to take the lead here to keep us from losing 2-3 guys per round to the Psychic moves, before Anderson came out for the gym fight and started Mega Shadow Clawing everything in sight. Olympia wasn't actually that hard, though - a Thunder Punch got Sigilyph, a Crunch OHKOed Slowking and Meowstic got the aforementioned MegaClaw.
The Team Flare quest finished before lunch, including a Mega fight that Anderson managed to win by about 20 HP (though it helped that Gyarados goes Fighting-weak when he goes Mega). The next big fight was the Scoobie gauntlet, which had one scary moment at the end with Aerodactyl - however, unlike his real-life counterpart, Dangerously hung on after the big aerial offense and managed to drop it in one Surf.
The last badge came in Snowbelle, and it went as I thought it would - Kick KO x 2, Mega Aura Sphere. By this point, I was 1-2 levels ahead of normal pace and stayed there until I flipped the Exp Share off after the rival fight in Victory Road. Even then, we ended up at 65... so I'm not as scared of Wikstrom as I was (even though I *know* I'll only be able to one-shot Scizor there).
That match... is next.
