I'm pretty hard walled by Alice, her mega pinsir is a BIG issue. First of all ive been relying on this game giving you strong fighting types such as hariyama and primeape up until this point which obviously doesn't work on her.
Next I tried faster ice types (i have a near perfect sneasel) with some slower rock types. I tried it with pupitar, boldore, sneasel, minior, pupitar and lairon and no dice. SR breaks sturdy, I dont have enough free turns to defog (nor any defoggers in the first place) and mega pinsir caves my skull in. Prankster murkrow is my best option for preventing SRs
Next I tried it with elektrike but she's just too fast..
It seems like I need bulky resists because outspeeding her isn't especially possible (maybe with a suicide tailwind lead? mega pinsir is still really fast at base though and that only works for 4 turns) but on expert she cheats and is overlevelled with some insane coverage options. Her pinsir has brick break AND rock tomb with 138 attack and doubled speed. Dodrio is also fast, gliscor mandates an ice move to be used on it, crobat also very fast.
I DO have a sticky web near perfect ribombee (the strat up to this point was sticky web then sweep) but well this gym hard counters me. I can tell SR are key but other than that i'm at a loss with how few speed control options I have
If miniors were breedable then maybe? you need perfect IVS and EVS with a speed boosting nature to outspeed her mega pinsir if it's jolly. Kilowattrel would also be great but he's not legal
I looked into weather control but the only pokemon that outspeeds her in weather is Jumpluff.
The solution that i'm thinking of atp is just to breed 6 near perfect gravellers, but that doesn't fix the mega pinsir issue. Tera ghost would make this SO much easier. Also breeding 5 gravellers 1 murkrow would be tedious, annoying and pretty useless outside of this gym
Thanks for reading!
