Current location: Pokemon League.
Current team, ready to go and L64 except for one (who went to 65):
Kamina - Earthquake, Crunch, Outrage, Rock Slide
Simon - Earthquake, Ice Fang, Fire Fang, Thunder Fang
Nia - Bonemerang, Rock Slide, Brick Break, Aerial Ace
Golurk - Earthquake, Shadow Punch, Fly, Heavy Slam
Leyte - Earthquake, Dragon Claw, Brick Break, Poison Jab
and Gimmy (the L65) - Mud Bomb, Thunderbolt, Surf, Sludge Bomb
The run was early to rise on Route 18, and Terminus Cave had no casualties even if I could've skipped half of it due to not needing Shadow Ball this time. I figured out a good doubles combo on the Nidoqueen and Nidoking combo - Fly and Earthquake.
In Couriway, the Sycamore fight got me really worried about the E4... Gimmy's getting hit hard by any Water move, and she's slow enough that it's losing damage races even with Thunderbolts. Adding in Sludge Bomb on 19 before the rival gauntlet helped a little bit, but then Leyte picked up Poison Jab and I believe my word was "welp".
As for the gauntlet itself, I elected to Heavy Slam the Florges... a wise decision indeed. The team was L56 going into Snowbelle. And after a quick janut to the Pokemon Village, it was time for... THE ICE GYM. *dramatic chipmunk .gif*
I started by finding out the slower guy wins in a double weather race - but Fire Fang OHKOed Abomasnow from Simon. Kamina outran Cryogonal with Rock Tomb, then it was Avalugg time... and he wasted half the team before I could get Gimmy into to hit two Thunderbolts (the first on a Hyper Potion, he had three Curses) to win the badge.
I elected to forego some of the TMs - just picked up Earthquake and Rock Slide, then went to Victory Road and managed to get all the way up to L62, with Gimmy and Nia at L63. With 11 Rare Candies, I gave everyone but Nia a +2 to make sure we're ready for the Elite 4, starting... NOW.
