So. As people in chat were aware, I decided to take Delibird along with me to the Elite 4 as my Lance slayer. Level 45 didn't cut it, so I leveled it up to 50. With his setup, he COULD OHKO the Dragonites! Woo. Anywho, here's the setup beforehand:
Delibird, L50, NeverMeltIce
Typhlosion, L43, Shell Bell
Murkrow, L43, Lum Berry
Machop, L46, Lum Berry
Electabuzz, L46, BrightPowder
Hypno, L45, Quick Powder
I tear through the E4 with ease. Lance is just the problem.
Gyrados is a OHKO with Thunderbolt. Next
So he throws out his L50 Dragonite first. I bit it the first time to Outrage spam, as Delibird was not fast enough to go first. The second and third times he missed TWICE with Blizzard and I never really recovered. Both times I at least managed to kill off this one, but died later on due to my rhthym being broken. Fourth time I managed to hit him right off.
Aerodactyl next. First time seeing him (2nd time through) he killed off most of my party before I realized what to do with him. Third and Fourth times just saw me sending out Electabuzz and Hyper Potioning until a beneficial situation allowed me to kill him off. The 4th he got Paralyzed his first attack, so bam, dead.
L49 Dragonite the first is where I bit it the 2nd and 3rd times through. Ended up being faster than Delibird, so he tore through my team. 4th time he got paralyzed the same way as Aerodactyl and I managed to slip in Delibird after a couple Revives. He couldn't move, bam, Blizzard hits, OHKO.
L49 Dragonite the second... well, luck is finally on my side on this one. Missed with it's first attack. Delibird hits with Blizzard. OHKO. Delibird is the Pokemon Champion.
UU pokemon rock.
