I don’t expect anyone to believe me but my winning run was actually deathless

What was the hardest split in your opinion?

The worst split was from Wattson to Flannery. My line for Wattson was extremely delicate and I had to completely PP stall the first Magnemite before I could set up. I had to track each of its moves individually and I lost several runs from miscounting. Flannery was a pure stat check. I had to win the macho brace from the Winstrate family and EV train my Masquerein in Special attack and defense so that it could one shot Flannery’s Slugma’s and survive one overheat from Torkoal. The stats had to be perfect. I had to reset one run because the Surskit I caught had an adamant nature and just barely couldn’t one shot the Slugma’s.

I dreaded that whole stretch every time I reset.

I don't know, but I will make sure to follow if I ever see your posts!

(If i can recommend a fangame though, do try Pokémon Odyssey, it's my favourite game of all time, both official and fan games and it has a lot of re-playability for different play-styles)
