    I'm watching this. After 6 hours it managed to solve the rock boulder puzzle and now it's trying to break the Elite Four wall with its face. I'm no pokemon expert, but I'd say that no way in hell it beats them with this team composition. It has to take a step back, re-compose or at least re-train for overall higher levels. Will see if it manages to do it, my expectations are low.

      It got to Lance. It's Charizard is pretty strong. If it would just HEAL between fights I think it could do it.

      I predict it will keep trying and failing without changing strategy until the team is so overleveled that brute force works.

        That's probably correct. Blue is going to be another wall as well, especially the blastoise since the team leans so heavily on charizard and graveler

          Poor Graveler died to Dewgong in the first fight (nearly every time). Don't forget about Gyarados though, that one is still undefeated.
