Absolute art of a game! Playthrough breakdown Below
Pokemon Lazarus: Hard Mode
Elite Four:
Grimmsnarl - Bubz (Short for Beelzebub): Prankster/Light Clay [252HP/252ATK/6DEF]
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Sucker Punch
- Spirit Break
Bubz played the most important role, setting up defenses and switching so the heavy hitters can sweep with minimal damage. Sucker punch was way too good against psychic types.
Tsareena - Athena: Strong Legs/Amulet Coin [252ATK/252SPE/6DEF]
- Synthesis
- Trop Kick
- High Jump Kick
- Thunderous Kick
Athena did a valuable contribution in taking out a few mons. Strong legs boosted STAB trop kick does way too good damage while also cutting opp's ATK stat. And amulet coin because why not.
Kommo-o - Jackie: Rough Skin/Rocky Helmet [252ATK/252SPE/6DEF]
- Close Combat
- Dual Chop
- Dragon Dance
- Poison Jab
The heaviest physical hitter with ddance set up and bubz's defenses straight up swept opp mons in single hits. Dual chop was meh but I did not want to go for Outrage and poison jab for coverage against fairies.
Noctowl - Rio: Analytic*/*Noctowlite [252HP/252SPA/6SPD]
- Psychic
- Roost
- Bitter Malice
- Air Slash
My mega evo mon who's a very good special hitter with ridiculously good bulk especially combined with Bubz's defences. Analytics boosted moves do real good damage. Would've gone for Hurricane but can't get egg moves in this game.
Skeledirge - Dante: Unaware/Leftovers [252HP/252SPA/6DEF]
- Torch Song
- Shadow Ball
- Will-O-Wisp
- Snarl
My partner and a very good bulky special hitter. Torch spam made it a bit too easier and unaware was a life saver when the opp tries quiver dance or calm mind. Would've preferred Slack Off over Snarl but again that is an egg move.
Pikachu - Light: Static/Light Ball [252SPA/252SPE/6HP]
- Thunderbolt
- Nuzzle
- Nasty Plot
- Double Team
He did not get to fight like literally. He was there for moral support. Also if you haven't noticed he's shiny.
Overall a really great game with stunning aesthetics and awesome outfits. Love the overworld sprites and the balance changes made for Pokemon. The only thing that bugged me a bit is how only most Pokemon upto gen 6 got their own animations the rest were just generic. Other than that it's a great game and you should play it if you haven't.
