Run 8 beat Fantina!

I'm so happy to say Run 8 cleared Fantina.

I'll talk about her, Gardenia and Jupiter.

First up,Gardenia. Xatu and Beedrill were the MVPs here.

Xatu took out Ludi with Aerial Ace, then I used Me First as tech to KO Roserade with its own Weather Ball and Rotom with Shadow Ball.

Beedrill outsped and took down Torterra and Farfetched put in work against Miltank.

Breloom gave it's life against Milotic and I ended with only 3 deaths to her.

Jupiter was a lot easier.

My only death was Sceptile because it went to sleep after getting hit by Hypnosis from Lunatone and barely woke up in time.

Now for Fantina.

Started out with Weezing.

Frostlass set Spikes and I used Assurance.

Then Weezing got hit with an Ice Beam,so I switched to Empoleon and hit an Aqua Cutter to take it out.

Next up,Rotom.

I switched to Nidoking and took it out with Rock Tombs. Got hit by Will O Wisp once, but I had a Berry for that.

Nidoking also three-hit Spiritomb with Earth Power before dying to Gengar.

Wormadam came out and hit a Mirror Shot to drop Gengar to half health.

It hit Focus Blast to drop me to half ,but missed the second,so another Mirror Shot did it in.

I taught Wormadam Toxic, so it poisoned Drifblim and I kept switching between it ,Geo,and Empoleon until it died.

Last up,Mismagius.

I had Arcanine and Weezing left.

Started out with Arcanine for Intimidate,then switched to Weezing to eat a Power Gem.

He went Aura Sphere next.

I used Bite and after a second Aura Sphere, I lived on 4 hp,14 after Oran Berry proc.

Was I a bit lucky? Yes.

Is five deaths too many? Yes, but I still have a good box and I think I can clear Barry 3.

Really proud that I beat Fantina on only attempt 8

Give it up for Run 8!

Run 7 of Plat Kaizo ended in Fantina's gym after losing to one of the Idols.

So I started a new one and pulled off a 1-death Roark,with only 2 deaths overall.

Still having a lot of fun with Plat Kaizo.

I can't wait to see where this one goes

Beat Gardenia for the First Time (Plat Kaizo)

Run 6 of Plat Kaizo ended at the Artist in Eterna City Gym.

Run 7 not only reached Gardenia, but beat her with 4 deaths.

I did something I thought was cool and used Copycat with Sudowoodo to copy Miltank setting rocks.

Sudowoodo took out Miltank with 3 Brick Breaks.

Swalot handled Ludicolo pretty easily.

Vespiquin took out Roserade.

Rotom was a bit of a worry, but luckily Absorb is Dark in Plat Kaizo, so Nuzleaf was able to take it out.

Toward the end, I sacked Swalot to Toxic Milotic and pivot switched until Toxic damage took it out.

Her final was Torterra and after a Fake Out from Delcatty,Beedrill was able to drop it with Twin Needle.

My 6th attempt at Platinum Kaizo just ended in Gardenia's Gym, I lost to the artist with the Aeroblast Smeragle.

Proud of getting that far with just six attempts though.

I've mostly used Turtwig, I'll try Piplup next
