Current location: Saved at the Pokemon League.
Current team, L65:
Ixion: Thunderbolt, Surf, Grass Knot, Dark Pulse
Tiamat: Thunderbolt, Dragon Pulse, Power Gem, Signal Beam
Tritoch: Thunderbolt, Surf, Ice Beam, Dazzling Gleam
Remora: Thunderbolt, Mud Bomb, Surf, Sludge Bomb
Raiden: Thunderbolt, Overheat, Shadow Ball, Hidden Power (Rock)
Alexander: Thunderbolt, Flash Cannon, Tri Attack, Hidden Power (Ice)
Picked up with Route 18, and Terminus Cave had no real casualties... though Hasty began to catch up with Tritoch especially on some of the stray Earthquakes and Bulldozes. Raiden definitely appreciated Shadow Ball, though.
After taking Sycamore out (Dragon Pulse, two Thunderbolts) Route 19 brough Remora's Sludge Bomb and the Rival gauntlet. The main problem Pokemon showed itself at the end, though... Goodra, master of the base 150 Special Defense, managed to tank long enough to take out two Remora and Tritoch. Hopefully Diantha's Goodra will be stupid enough to fire Electric moves at Tritoch and trigger Volt Absorb, but a triple-Dragon Pulse is more likely.
The Snowbelle gym went down in three shots: Raiden, who switched back to Overheat, torched Abomasnow, then two Flash Cannons from Alexander finished Avalugg and somehow, Cryogonal. It was funnier when the Quiet-natured Alexander went first against Cryo and OHKOed.
I only bothered grabbing one of the big TMs (Dark Pulse), because no physical attackers, so that got us into Victory Road quickly... and Mud Bomb missed twice against Rival's Flareon. Really would prefer having access to Earth Power for him.
This one goes down tonight, and we should be down to 4.
