Dark run complete!

Victory Road? Easy as pie.

Grinding? 11 Rare Candies took care of that.

So we went into the Elite 4 with the following:

Suzaku - Surf, Dark Pulse, Ice Beam, Extrasensory (and Grass Knot for one battle)
CC - High Jump Kick, Crunch, Poison Jab, Dragon Claw
Rolo - Night Slash, Psycho Cut, Superpower, Rock Slide
Jeremiah - Earthquake, Crunch, Outrage, Rock Slide
Cecilia -  Flamethrower, Dark Pulse, Sludge Bomb, Thunder Fang
Lloyd - Iron Head, Night Slash, X-Scissor, Poison Jab

And with this crew, could the OHKO record be gone? Well, let's find out.


Malva
Opening with vengeance from last time.

CC v Pyroar
Pyroar gets the drop and takes CC down to 89/170... but HELLOJUMPKICK OHKOs back.

Jeremiah v Talonflame
HOLY CRAP JEREMIAH WENT FIRST. OHKO, of course, off Rock Slide.

Suzaku v Torkoal
Surf OHKOs.

Cecilia v Chanderlure
And Dark Pulse completes the sweep. (OHKO count: 4)

Wikstrom
Dark being neutral to Steel now, and I had a plan for one in particular...

Jeremiah v Klefki
Jeremiah OHKOs with Earthquake, as the Dark type lures Klefki into not using a status move.

Rolo v Aegislash
Aegislash uses King's Shield to dodge Night Slash... and Rolo gets a free Attack doubler from it. :-P Night Slash does 90% to Shield form, and Iron Head takes Rolo to 100/196. On the Full Restore, Aegislash is still in Blade Form so Night Slash cleans it up.

Cecilia v Scizor
Flamethrower OHKO, obviously.

CC v Probopass
Not wanting to activate Sturdy, CC Crunches and Flash Cannon takes CC down to 130. High Jump Kick for the win... MISSES!! And CC survives the Flash Cannon with TWO HP. A second kick doesn't miss. (OHKO count: 6)

Drasna
There was one specific reason for a certain move...

Jeremiah v Dragalgae
Earthquake OHKOs, and Moxie gets a +1, which is about to become relevant...

Jeremiah v Altaria
Outrage with a +1 OHKOs...

Jeremiah v Druddigon
Outrage with a +2 OHKOs (175/200 because of Rough Skin)...

Jeremiah v Noivern
...and Outrage with a +3 OHKOs. All too easy. Jeremiah levels here. (OHKO count: 10)

Siebold
Lack of Electric moves, and a temporary sub for Grass Knot being required, means I'm kinda worried about this one.

CC v Clauncher
And this is why. High Jump Kick does 75%, and a Mega Launcher-powered Aura Sphere does 116 (54/170) coming back. Second High Jump Kick finishes.

Lloyd v Starmie
Surf takes Lloyd to 85/175 in his debut, but Night Slash OHKOs back.

Suzaku v Barbaracle
Hence the Grass Knot, OHKO of course.

Rolo v Gyarados (free +1):
Rock Slide... MISSES turn 1. Waterfall does 81 back (115/196). The +1 means Rock Slide does 75%, but this lets Gyarados DD up and Waterfall for the duke.

(Note: I ran this fight twice. Both times, a Rock Slide miss on turn 1, and instead of KOing with the 2nd waterfall it FLINCHED the first time. Clearly it wasn't meant to be.)

Suzaku v Gyarados
Grass Knot finishes. (OHKO count: 12.)

Diantha
Time for a little payback, methinks.

Suzaku v Hawlucha
Ice Beam OHKOs, thankfully.

CC v Goodra
Dragon Claw keeps Goodra out of Full Restore range by doing about 65%, before Focus Miss lives up to its name. Dragon Claw 2 finishes.

Lloyd v Aurorus
In a shocking development, Iron Head OHKOs.

Suzaku v Tyrantrum
Ice Beam OHKOs.

Cecilia v Gourgeist
Flamethrower OHKOs...

Lloyd v MegaGardevoir
... and Iron Head scores a OHKO for the win!

 Pictured: Greninja completed his epic day by being confirmed for Smash Bros. I think we all know the winner here. 

Final score: 17 OHKOs. Not quite the Ice run, but close.
