I once challenged my two sisters to a gen IV race to see who could beat the Elite Four first. We each picked different starters and I got mudkip. Deciding to run with this, I opted to pretend that I was going to be the next gym leader in Sinnoh as a ground-type ace. I made sure to catch a hippopotas at the first opportunity and proceeded to use only ground, rock, and/or steel types after that.

My sisters and I would periodically challenge each other to link battles to see how we were doing. The first couple of times when they saw what I was doing, their water and grass pokemon would roflstomp me. Once I got that hippopotas and lead all my battles with it.. it wasn't pretty.

Have any of you experienced the joys of trolling your little sisters with sand-attacking their 'mons into worthlessness as a perpetual sandstorm slowly grinds them to dust?

I beat the entire Elite Four of Kalos with a Lv. 1 Aron and a Lv. 1 Hippopotas. It was simple. Send out Sand Stream Hippopotas holding a Smooth Rock. Sandstorm triggers. The Hippopotas immediately dies to the next attack. I send out Aron. Aron is hit hard, survives by Sturdy, and uses Endeavor. The sandstorm kills the opposition.

The part that sets this apart from regular FEAR strategies? This Aron was holding a Shell Bell. Which means that it recovered a quarter of the 100+ HP it dealt, at Lv. 1, when it had at most 20HP. It was reusable FEAR. THE HORROR.

Are you sure you did the Kalos E4 with that? Because one of the Elite 4 is a team full of Steel Types immune to the whole "Sandstorm" effect. In fact, looking at all the Elite 4 starting with Gen4(when Hippopatas debuted) its impossible for this strategy to take out all of the E4 of any generation, with the single exception of ORAS.

What do you mean, 'sets this apart'? Endeavor Aron with Shell Bell is the standard, and has been such since near the start of Gen 5.

Phoebe (never mind Shauntal) still exists, so this still wouldn't work (Endeavor is a Normal-type attack, which Ghost-types are immune to).

Oh, didn't even think about that. I was thinking specifically about the damage from Sandstorm.

So uh... Yeah... This setup alone cannot defeat the entire E4 in any generation it is capable of being used in.

Maybe they were thinking of Metal Burst or whatnot?

Don't forget about all the level ups that would happen during those fights. Kind of kills the strat right off the bat if you aren't doing online

Getting through pokemon yellow using only one pokemon (+ hm slaves). Twice. Once - Charizard. Well, I guess that's normal.

Other time? Primeape. It was best game run in my life.

*edit* oh god, it was september, not october. *facepalm* worst necropost in my life. I need more sleep.

Eh, don't worry. Necroposting isn't HUGE around here. Especially if it's relevant.

Alright guys, this is the story of how I nearly choked away my 50 win streak at the battle maison in Omega Ruby.

So last year I decided to try out the hardest version of the battle maison, the super single battles. I came in with a dragon dancing mega salamence, and a weakness policy aegislash, and a choice scarfed terrakion to clean up anything mence couldn't handle. Mence usually just used substitute, danced, and won with return. I ran through 40 battles with that formula, only using aegislash on rare occasion and terrakion barely saw the outside of his ball. Well one time I came Facing down a hellish team with a weavile forcing my salamence to switch out. Aegislash took it down, but fell to the next mon. Terrakion revenged, but then out came weezing. I had to swap terrakion out because of how close combat would do nothing to a weezing. Mence came out and got burned on the switch. I was essentially screwed at that point. So I danced a bit in desperation, and the thing was still taking nothing from boosted returns. I kept hitting the thing until mence came down to about 10 hp from the burn. At that point I said to myself "I need a crit or else I'm never going to beat this 50 round circuit." And on queue, salamence crits the thing and OHKOs it, giving me the win with a terrakion still standing in the back.

I went on to clean up the rest of the challenge no sweat, but that battle was the true deciding point.
