Day 95I began the final island trial at Seafolk Village, led by Captain Mina. Her Totem Pokémon was Ribombee, which quickly summoned a Blissey for support. Expecting a tough challenge, I led with Metagross—but the battle ended almost immediately. One Corkscrew Crash obliterated Ribombee in a single blow, and a follow-up Meteor Mash dropped Blissey just as fast. By far, it was the easiest trial of my journey, over before it truly began.Next came the last Grand Trial, facing Kahuna Hapu. Araquanid opened with Bubble Beam to wash away Golurk, while Crabominable landed an Ice Punch to shatter her Flygon. Tsareena then stepped in, unleashing her Z-Move Bloom Doom to overwhelm Mudsdale, before finishing off Gastrodon with a crushing Power Whip. With that, the Grand Trials were complete.From there, I ascended Mount Lanakila, catching Necrozma along the way by sealing it into a Master Ball. With the last obstacles cleared, I stood before the Pokémon League of Alola. My final team—Incineroar, Tsareena, Araquanid, Metagross, Mudsdale, and Crabominable—was ready. Ahead lay the greatest challenge of the islands: the Elite Four and the Champion’s throne.
>>58207881Also why doesn't the game give you the opportunity to battle all the trial captains during Minas trial? You don't get to battle Acerola or Lana but you battle the others. Kinda weird.
>>58207887Delete your save faggot. See you tomorrow
>>58207914rude
it's weird how the fanbase kvetches about how easy nu-gen games are but fail to acknowledge Ultra Sun/Moon are, by far, the hardest games in the series as far as the main story goes
>>58207971the difficulty's not the problem with gen 7, I appreciate that aspect of it but they're a slog to play in pretty much every other way
Connor are you coming to the vp meetup? Deltranny will be there
>>58207971because i didn’t play the ultra games. i played part of moon, got annoyed by the cutscenes, and stopped playing on cart til my friends bought me shield
>>58208042Is there an actual meetup for that? Also only if it's in the UK which i doubt it unless someone's willing to pay for a flight to another country and a hotel for me to stay in.
Day 96I entered the Pokémon League of Alola, ready to prove myself as Champion. My first opponent was Molayne, and Mudsdale carried most of the fight with devastating Earthquakes. Next was Olivia, who proved a bit tougher than before, but Tsareena stepped in and cleanly defeated her ace, sealing the win. Against Acerola, Incineroar did most of the heavy lifting, but Araquanid landed the finishing blow on her ace, securing victory. Finally, I faced Kahili, whose Flying-types gave me the most trouble since I lacked strong counters—but with persistence and careful switches, I managed to come out on top.With all four of the Elite Four defeated, only one battle remained: the Champion match against Hau. Mudsdale started strong, flattening Raichu with a few Earthquakes. Tsareena then stepped up, obliterating his Vaporeon with a single Power Whip. Metagross followed, outmuscling Crabominable with a mix of Hammer Arm, Psychic, and Meteor Mash. Hau’s Noivern gave me trouble, pelting my own Crabominable with Air Slashes, but in the end, Crabominable landed a crushing Ice Punch to secure the knockout. Araquanid then faced Tauros, using Liquidation repeatedly while Tauros wore itself down with Double-Edge recoil.At last, Hau was down to his final Pokémon: Decidueye. It was the perfect moment to bring out my starter. Incineroar entered the field, and without hesitation, unleashed its Z-Move, Malicious Moonsault. The attack landed clean, defeating Decidueye in one dramatic blow. Hau fell, and with my strongest team yet—Incineroar, Tsareena, Araquanid, Metagross, Mudsdale, and Crabominable—I was crowned the Champion of Alola.
I'm so happy I did this nuzlocke and won. I do believe this is one of the best teams I've had yet and this is my first time beating the ultra games as I've only played them once before and that time I lost to the dragon island trial.Tomorrow I begin a nuzlocke on pokemon sword, a game from the most controversial generation.
>>58208460You haven’t finished it, retard. There’s a whole second campaign and two super bosses aside from that. Also you can fight Lana and meet her family in her house. Skipping this is like skipping the only good part of Gen8 (the DLC).
>>58208470Yeah but the credits rolled and the rest is postgame. I'll probably play that in my freetime.
>>58208474So never beat Red either, huh
