Fight plan
Platinum Kaizo, gym by gym
Set mode, no items in battle, hard cap at the next leader's ace. Written after clearing it — the fights below are the ones that actually ended runs for me.
- RoarkGym 1rockCranidosCap—
Cranidos hits harder than anything you own at that point. Bring a Machop with Rock Smash for the Defence drops, and do not lead a Chimchar.
- FantinaGym 3ghostMismagiusCap—
Mismagius outspeeds the whole early roster. Something with Sucker Punch or a Dark type you've levelled past the cap-minus-two mark, or you sit there eating Shadow Balls.
- VolknerGym 8electricElectivireCap—
Electivire's Cross Chop is the kill, not the Electric moves. Ground types are a trap here.
- CynthiaChampionmixedGarchompCap—
Garchomp with a Yache Berry survives the Ice move you were counting on. Plan the second hit — that's the whole fight.
