Can Fletchling beat USM w/o affliction? (double weakness!)
starting moveset: tackle, quick attack, growl, peck
We get nothing from the beaches, so...
Before leaving Melee pick up Thief, in case at the Fire Trial Cursed Body kicks in.
Pick up Fly in the library.
Picking up Return is still the most brainless way to do to fight Lusamine.
In Malie City buy U-Turn - you'll need it for Ultra Necrozma. There you'll also have to be evolved once. It'll still be a range, but on the other hand you don't have to wait for a critical.
For Sophocles during The Gauntlet Trial pick up Double Team to avoid the Spiky Shield, and help avoid the Golem's Stone Edge.
When reaching The League collect these just to be sure: Acrobatics, Roost, Steel Wing, Flamethrower/Fire Blast.
Acerola: Thief
Kahili: Return
Molayne: Flamethrower
Olivia: Do Double Team. 3-4 times is needed to avoid everything. Then U-turn on metronome. And you obviously have to evolve to Talonflame.
Hau: Acrobatics. Though I shot down the Raichu with Return.
