I've been jumping back into the second Pokemon Scarlet DLC! Trying to take on the E4 at Blueberry Academy and finding it extremely difficult despite playing Pokemon since Blue version came out. I'm accustomed to single battles and the double battles have caught me entirely off guard - I need to go back to the drawing board and focus my team around different mechanics!
Or just grind EXP candies and brute force it. We'll see!
Yeah - it really caught me off guard. After getting stomped by a couple of the Kitakami Ogre Club members, I decided to build a new, EV-trained team, which I don't generally do. I assumed, based on the levels in Kitakami, that we would be at around 80, but that unfortunately put me over leveled. The double battle surprise caught me off guard, but my level difference allowed me to out-muscle pretty much everyone. Until I got to the steel type E4 - she and her very unexpected strategy almost completely wrecked me. Wellspring Mask Ogrepon was my last fighter, and just barely managed to take out her last 2 mons - it was wild.
