Dunno who to share this with but I beat 3 mon Cynthia
The image is a trancript of what happened.
I was playing a vanilla calcless Platinum nuzlocke but I could only catch 6 mons (all of them where the first encounters on their routes). Lost Rapidash in gym 8 and lost Gliscor and Empoleon (the two MVPs before this) on Lucian because his Mime was +Spe. Got crazy lucky there, too.
My Luxray (caught it cause it was Intimidate) was almost max SpA. Kept T. Fang over Spark because of flinch chance, but never mattered. I taught it Rest with a chesto as well as D. Team right before Cynthia. "Ev trained" (got tons of useless evs) in SpA, Def and Spe, which let it outspeed Togekiss and Milotic (assuming neutral natures).
I caught Crobat for dupes (did not think much while planning). Taught it Nat. Gift right before this. Kept C. Ray throughout just in case. Gave It the only Pomeg i had and prayed. "Trained" in At, HP and Spe. 31 hp ivs too. Neutral nature.
Caught Roserade cause i had never used It. Kind of a liability at times, tbf, but showed up when it had to. Neutral nature but good SpA iv. "Trained" in SpA, Def and Spe, which let It outspeed Garchomp. Goated with Specs.
There was only one way to win and i played into it. The dices fell in my favour. Just crazy luck, my odds to win were probably around 0.5%.
Fraud is the way, apparently.
