Faced the Elite Four and La Primera in Pokemon Scarlet.
Apparently some people are disappointed in Nemona having a higher-level team than La Primera, but I don't even see the complaint here, as you fight her AFTER the Pokemon League (keeping in mind she also beat La Primera). That Quaquaval of hers is downright dangerous -- Fighting beats Dark plus it has access to Flying moves, so I'll probably need to bring a Psychic or Fairy or something.
- Luxray (with Intimidate, Fire Fang, and Volt Switch)
- Salazzle (with Acid Spray)
- Quaquaval (with U-Turn and Acrobatics)
- Meowscarada (starter, with U-Turn and Play Rough)
- Hisuian Zoroark (with Snarl and Bitter Malice)
- Baxcalibur
0 - Luxray was apparently not my best choice for a lead Pokemon.
1 - I had no good matches against Rika's off-types, but Meowscarada and Baxcalibur sailed through this battle with few losses (Clodsire losing the Poison typing for Tera Ground certainly helped).
2 - Salazzle definitely roasted Poppy's selection of Steel-types (that is, at least once Copperajah was out of the way).
3 - Baxcalibur and Luxray handled Larry's team of birds rather well. Oricorio had me wondering what color it would be (but of course it was Yellow Oricorio), and one does not simply zap a Staraptor. (Unless it uses something like Close Combat)
4 - I made a guess that Hassel might bring Dragon-types (having brought a Gible in for Art class) and ... was right!
As for La Primera, Quaquaval and Meowscarada did the most work here, though I did hesitate on Glimmora (before one-shotting it with a Tera Grass Flower Trick) due to its Poison typing.
