Current location: Saved RIGHT OUTSIDE the Elite 4 door. Here's the final team, all L64:
Byakuya - Ice Beam, Ancient Power, Thunderbolt, Dark Pulse
Kyoko - Surf, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Psychic
Chihiro - Earthquake, Ice Fang, Rock Slide, Strength
Monokuma - Icicle Crash, Shadow Claw, Aqua Jet, Superpower
Asahina - Ice Beam, Psychic, Draining Kiss, Shadow Ball
Hakagure - Ice Punch, Wood Hammer, Rock Slide, Brick Break
Really, this comes down to two things: Snowbelle Gym and Victory Road. The gym was actually very simple: Hakagure went Mega to take out his counterpart and Cryogonal with Brick Break - no-selling Confuse Ray in the process. Swapped in Byakuya for Avalugg and Ancient Power dropped it in one. Too easy.
The TM hunt was a disappointment when I discovered than aside from the obvious, there weren't any major surprised going into Victory Road. Still looking for a 4th move on Chihiro for instance... having to keep Strength on it is a bit of a disappointment.
Victory Road had one last round of Fighting misery, but I had a little surprise of my own - Psychic. I'm only missing Fire (obviously), Poison, Flying, Bug and Dragon going into the E4 which is way better than I thought I'd do with this. And when Brains and Brawn showed up, Chihiro dropped the Medicham with Earthquake and finished off the Gallade with Ice Fang while I swapped Hakagure in.
At the end, I found another way to speed up the end-game grind pre-E4: Honey. I did have to save after each one and reset in the event of a Geodude horde. 5 Floatzel with the Lucky Egg is worth 5k exp, which took Chihiro from 62 to 64 in five rounds. The rest fell into place.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have an E4 to take out...
