New approach:
Speed boost swords dance blaziken
Eviolite chansey
Max defense psycho shift Sigilyph
Wonder how they'll do :p
We're up to 35 in super singles now. I realise this isn't much considering the streaks people here get, but I'm pretty excited nonetheless. Hopefully I can take it up to 49 :)
Sigilyph is mostly my 'meh' pokemon. At times it performs beautifully, sometimes it's supposed physical bulk is a real letdown. Still, it's there to shrug off weather, leech seed, can burn what chansey can't poison (bar heatran but that one gets face kicked by blaziken anyway).
I'm finally raking up the BP, so I can afford a good new hold item for blaziken ('cause it's holding a razor claw out of sheer lack of stuff).
Life orb seems to be the obvious choice, but I'm not sure about it for the battle subway. At first I thought about focus sash, but that's too unreliable anyway. Maybe wide lens to help with hi jump kick and blaze kick?
Not that I've missed much, but still any miss means dead chicken :(
Then again, I hardly every get the chance to Sword dance, so maybe life orb is the best choice anyway...
Has anyone else noticed how the AI seems to have an Earthquake fetish?
I mean it's obvious against blaziken, but in my previous runs when I used quagsire, each and every pokemon that has earthquake used it against me, even if they had stronger stab. It's really odd, but appreciated for sigilyph. :p
EDIT:
Obviously I lose the very next battle, 3KO's from it's lead, a Braviary of all things. Bulked up on my protect, killed sigilyph with a critical thrash on the switch, killed chansey with a critical thrash, then blaziken hadn't got it in him to KO...
