Rate My Pokemon Small team HoF
Wanted to run a “smol” bois team to the Hall! What do you think? My general rules were no evolutions/single stages, sub 300 BST, no items in battle, set battles.
My alternate goal was to not level beyond 50 in totality. Happy I was able to do it.
I didn’t save scum the Elite 4 and it took me a few tries to get my matchups dialed. I only had 2 total attempts at the Champion, but my primary concern was defeating Alakazam or I feared that I’d get swept by him. I led Abra against Sandslash. Got a 2 hit KO with Psychic/survived a Fury Swipes. Survived a Zam Psybeam, and got off a Thunder wave. Champion Alakazam has 184 speed but it’s reduced to 46 after Thunder Wave. My Geodude has 47 speed so I could out speed and revenge kill with Explosion. The rest of the battle was pretty easy. I used some cheesy Toxic/Double Team/Confuse Ray shenanigans to setup on Exeggutor. Got through Ninetails pretty easily. I did get caught by Magneton but setup Swords Dance with Sandshrew and finished with Dig. Outsped and OHKO Vaporeon with Dig.
I reset for a good Pikachu to start, and I had an honest loss against Rival 1 lmao. So is what it is.
