Went into the E4 with 5 of my Pokemon at level 45 and 1 at 46. And OMG was that terrifying. I don't think I've ever been so scared about actually losing at battle in a long time.
So here's my final team.
Swampert(Phineas cuz he has fins)-Phineas honestly was kinda unreliable. I dunno why, but I just remember him fainting a lot as a Mudkip and Marshtomp. He pulled through towards the end though.
Swellow(Swallow cuz Swallow Pokemon)-Swallow was a good team player. She was like the equivalent of my Mightyena in OR, I could always count on her in tight spots. (Until the opponents got better moves and she'd faint to almost everything She has Boomburst from DexNav.
Breloom(Toadette cuz female mushroom creature)-Toadette has a really special place in my heart. The amount of times she's toughed it out in battles with Amie is unbelievable. There was once double battle where it activated 3 TIMES! She has Wake Up Slap from DexNav
Sableye(Gemini cuz "gem in eye" )-Gemini was kinda the weak link of the team. He didn't do well in the first 2 Gym Battles I used him in. He finally started doing well in major battles starting with Winonna. All I wanted from him was Prankster. Got that plus Flatter
Aggron(Ironore cuz he eats iron ore)-Took me probably over 10 hours to catch this guy. I wanted a Head Smash Aron with Rock Head. I thought I'd never find him and when I did was so so happy. I thought to myself "he's the gender I want, he's got the move I want, he's got the ability I want, he must have a crap nature." And he does. Mild. And I literally didn't care. I looked for him for HOURS, I was not about to start a search for another one with a better nature.
Torkoal(Sheldon cuz he has a shell)-I was DexNav'd out from looking for Ironore. I didn't care much about what Torkoal had. First male I found had Eruption Sheldon integrated the fasted into my team. An hour after catching him he was defeating Archie's Sharpedo.
Gonna start the Delta Episode later. Not too excited for it since I hate Zinnia:/
First we had Sidney, who was pretty easy for the most part. Mightyena was actually a challenge with Swagger and Sucker Punch. It nearly knocked out my Aggron. Absol was the next problem. Super Luck+Night Slash=Almost 2 hit KO on my Torkoal. He only survived by Amie letting him tough out the second hit. Then Aerial Ace destroyed my Breloom. Also speaking of my Breloom; her Poision Heal activated for the first time in this battle thanks to Sharpedo's Poison Fang. Anyway, despite that Sidney wasn't that bad.
Pheobe was much more of a challenge than I expected. Her damn Banette were so annoying. One Grudged my Sabelye's Foul Play, and the other burned by Swampert and nearly defeated him with repeated Shadow Balls. After her Sableye destroyed mine with Foul Play, it proceeded to Power Gem my Torkoal to death. I revived my Sableye to battle Dusknoir and after it Hexed him 3 times and was on the verge of death, I switched into my Swellow to take the ineffective hit. And it used THUNDERPUNCH AND paralyzed Swellow. I had to switch out again to my Swampert to kill this thing.
Glacia...another hard-ass battle. Torkoal took out the first Glalie no problem. Then her Froslass started destroying me with Blizzards. I think I lost Sableye and Swampert to just one of them; Sableye who Froze and didn't even get to attack. Then the other one almost knocked out my Aggron since his strongest moves have horrid accuracy and kept missing.(Probably also combined with Snow Cloak, which I forgot Froslass had. I thought it had levitate and because of that I actually avoided using Earthquake with Swampert.) After reviving my fainted mons, I had to go through both of them again to defeat Walrein. I also forgot that she still had another Glalie after all of that. (I mean, I knew she had 2, but I forgot that I hadn't taken it out yet)
Drake, oddly enough, was okay actually. Altaria used Cotton Gaurd, so I had to MEvolve Swampert just to have a chance of doing any damage with Rock Slide. Luckily I got a crit. Kindra was a real problem. I tried to paralyze it twice with Stun Spore...AND MISSED BOTH TIMES. Meanwhile he used Yawn and put my Breloom to sleep. Then Ice Beam nearly knocked her out. She had 3 HP left. I had to send something else to take another hit while I healed her to get off a Wake-Up Slap. Next Ice Beam straight up killed her. Then I think Swellow finished Kindra off. All Salamence did was Crunch my Aggron, which wouldn't have been as bad if I hadn't missed 2 Head Smashes. But overall, it was fine.
Steven. My. Gosh. Steven. Again, I've never been so scared during a battle in all my life as I was in this one. I actually had a plan. Throughout the entire game, I kept Rapid Spin on my Torkoal just for his Skarmory's Spikes. It payed off. Then his Aggron missed 3 Stone Edges on my Torkoal. I switched to my Aggron. 1st mistake. His Aggron was faster than mine so Earthquake destroyed me. I had to have Breloom knock it out. Next came the nightmare I was worried about from the start. Cradily. She one shotted my Torkoal, Sableye, and Breloom. I had to use so many revives during this time. Aggron was the only one who could survive. Cradily confused him and nearly killed him. Had to switch out to Swellow who was also destroyed to heal Aggron. Next turn he finally took her out. Mega'd Swampert to take out Claydol and Armaldo (Seriously, if I hadn't Mega'd and gotten the boosted defense, he definitely would have fainted). Finally came Metagross. I sent out Aggron who toughed out a Bullet Punch thanks to Amie. I healed him just so I could revive the rest of my team literally as fodder just in case Swampert fainted. Sent out Swampert. Metagross used Giga Impact. Swampert barely survives with like 18 HP. 2 Earthquakes win me the battle.
