Psychic Mono Run Help

Not sure if this run can be saved but if it can, I expect a pro in here to know how.

Up to Leon, he has Aegislash, Zacian, Rillaboom, Rhyperior, Dragopult and M Charizard-Y.

I have:

Mr. Mime (Timid, Filter) - Moonblast, Frost Breath, Sucker Punch, Light Screen

Medicham (Careful, Pure Power) - Work Up, Ice Punch, Sucker Punch, Hi Jump Kick

Gothitelle (Mild, Competitive) - Aura Sphere, Moonblast, Fake Tears, Psychic

Rapidash (Bold, Pastel Veil) - Flare Blitz, Stomp, Magical Torque, Proton Geyser

Lunatone (Modest, Levitate) - Moonblast, Moongeist Beam, Revelation Dance, Shell Smash

Xatu (Calm, Synchronise) - Fly, Leer, Guard Split, Air Slash.

All at full hp except Xatu, Lunatone has 2x leftovers and shell bell.

I think having Mr. Mime start has royally screwed me since Aegislash kills whatever is against him.

My two viable starting strats are sacrifice something to this (Xatu seems sensible) and then I can OHKO Aegislash with either Rapidash or Lunatone.

The problem that follows is:

If I use Lunatone, he comes in with Rhyperior. I cannot kill this in two hits and the second turn he head smashes, which again is instant death. So I have to have a second sacrifice.

If I use Rapidash, he sends in Charizard-Y which, I leave Rapidash in, will kill it. Not really got a lot of weapons to kill that other than Lunatone and Leon knows it.

Then Dragopult, which outspeeds everything I have and kills it all in one hit, so I have to tera rock Lunatone to get rid, or Zacian, which apparently also outspeeds and kills anything.

Just not sure if I lack the coverage to deal with this. Any help at all would be much appreciated, I'd prefer not to have to restart this run.

Generation 5 Done!

This one wasn't too bad - Excadrill soloed pretty much every boss battle until Eternatus but all members had their moments. I brought 4 in, caught Crustile and Cryogonal during the run.

For him a mix of leech seed, multi-lens mud-slaps then making Gigalith a wall, with Excadrill coming in for the dual battle to do the damage.

Looking for a bit of guidance from the experienced heads as only on my 2nd endless run - I spliced Zacian and Kartana to make this beast, currently has Magical Torque, Sacred Sword, Synthesis and SD. At wave 1050 now.

SD and Synthesis are useless now, he one shots everything except Eternatus, so looking for tips on how to setup his moves and changes to my team going forward - not really committed to keeping anything else, Mega Latio was my pickup guy but don't really need that anymore.

Just don't want to suddenly get caught with my pants down and unable to continue as I know this won't work forever.

This was tough - I have both Lugia and Ho-oH but without their full egg moves they just struggled a bit.

Then I got Celebi and thought I'd try her. Wow - with Fire Tera she just walled Eternatus with Leech Seed and Psychic/multi-hit. One Yawn from Quagsire on phase 2 and that was it.

Last rival battle with a Torterra was much harder.

Glad that's done, the Johto pool was seriously lacking. Onto Gen 3!

Finally got my first Classic win at the third attempt (at reaching 200, had MANY runs which failed before this).

I'm a typical Pokemon casual player - not had a game since Emerald but I play a lot of roms - 4 various attack moves and brute force (which is probably why my Nuzlockes go so well).

Today I learnt the sheer value of debuffs in this game. Leeched him, Jumpluff survived by a fraction, Memento.

Then Mega Banette to Wisp him and jump out with more debuffs.

Onto Gardevoir for a few calm minds then a baton to Moltres, and it and Ursaluna finished the job. He was doing peanuts.

MVP was definitely the clown, he retyped everything much better for the second half.
