Holy shit Lenora was a nightmare.
Everything was going pretty smoothly until I got to the her. Lenora is one of the hardest fights in the game for me when I'm playing through normally so I knew I had to get my shit together and pull out all the stops or she'd completely wipe me out. I had raised Nibbles the Patrat to level 20 so it evolved into Watchog so it could take SOME hits?? I also wanted to make sure it had both Hypnosis and Confuse Ray going in so I could maybe hax my way to an easy victory.
I also brought with me Misty the newly evolved Dewott and Charlotte the will-probably-get-owned-by-dark-moves Woobat. Also Ru Paul the Audino and Teddy the Pansear who I wasn't even using on my main team just in case I needed death fodder. (I don't abide by that "you can only use the same number of Pokemon as the Gym Leader" rule ESPECIALLY for someone as challenging as Lenora)
So I take out her Herdier no problem with Focus Energy + CRIT Razor Shell from Misty. Then she sends out Watchog to revenge kill me with Retalliate and I send in Nibbles to sponge it and she takes it like a CHAMP and lives with 11 HP. Then shit hits the fan.
I don't really know exactly what happened but it took every last fucking healing/status item I had as well as BOTH of my death fodder Pokes to make sure my whole team didn't get wiped out. Out of Lenora's 6 times using Hypnosis, she didn't miss ANY. Luckily I had Chesto Berries that I don't even remember getting as well as an Awakening and Full Heal. I truly believe God interfered to make sure I had the exact amount of items needed for me to survive. Unfortunately, I only left the battle with Misty and Charlotte alive. Nibbles died to a crit Retalliate after I healed her up from the first one. RIP
So yeah I only have three Pokemon alive in total (counting Falco the Pidove who was boxed) and all three are weak to electric.
The heavens really need to smile down upon me because I need good encounters in the next few areas.
ALIVE AND USING:
Misty the Dewott (lvl 20)
Charlotte the Woobat (lvl 18)
ALIVE AND IN RESERVES:
Falco the Pidove (lvl 13)
RIP:
Minerva the Glameow (lvl 5)
Nibbles the Watchog (lvl 20)
Ru Paul the Audino (lvl 12)
Teddy the Pansear (lvl 12)
I suck at this.
