Absol stands apart from other individuals - even teammates - as a matter of choice. She approaches conflict slowly, and after much thought. Bringing a cold stare and colder temper to bear, Absol favors a prudent offense to more zealously aggressive strategies, and always prepares a backup plan.

Having survived a lot of punishment and hard battles to get to this point, Kingdra has learned fully the value of teammates. To this end, he has started to focus on support strategies instead of offense. He's already got offense all figured out, you see. He's still not the social type, but proximity with others is no longer an issue.
All KOC go into my CC. I use the 2 CC and the KOC to purchase a set of Starf Berries.
I will put my 3 remaining UC into Cassandra's (below) MC. She will use her 1 existing MC and these 3 new counters to purchase Gen V TMs Taunt and Thunder Wave.[a]Woobat[/a]
Woobat
- Cassandra Nature: Timid (Spe +11, Accuracy +16%, Atk: -1)
Type: Psychic / Flying
Psychic Type - Psychic STAB; less susceptible to blinding, more susceptible to sound-based assaults as far as locking on with Psychic attacks, can lift and throw opponents with Psychic attacks regardless of weight difference. Psychic-type attacks are not godlike and cannot be used as a catchall for Disabling, Binding, and redirecting opposing attacks.
Flying Type - Flying STAB; immunity to Ground attacks outside extremely odd circumstances even for ground-based flying Pokemon. Enhanced aerial mobility. Superior senses in open air arenas.
Abilities:
Unaware - (Innate) When this Pokemon is released, a light aura enshrouds the opponent, nullifying all stat boosts or reductions other than Speed, it remains while this Pokemon is active.
Klutz - (Can be Disabled) The Pokemon moves in a rare style of battling that uses an unpredictable, clumsy looking manner. The accuracy of its attacks are increased by 10% (flat). While engaging in this style it cannot use a hold item, however an item is necessary to pull it off.*
(DW) Simple - (Innate) This Pokemon innately exaggerates the effect of stat boosts and drops to the point where they have double the effectiveness, but the same actual stage. (e.g. Swords Dance/Screech is still a 2 stage boost/drop but is calculated as 4 stages). Stat benefits/reductions still maximize at 6 effective stages.

Unused to the outside world, Cassandra is innately afraid of anything that isn't commonly found in a cave (along with a few things that are). Putting forth effort to overcome her fears and pull her weight on a team, she nonetheless focuses on defensive play and protecting herself from attack.
I am now totally broke.

Time for a royal shitstorm of a post. I'll put FINISHED in all caps and bold at the bottom when it's finished.
First off, I'm putting a couple of UC into Croagunk, in preparation for storming the Hall one more time. Sludge Bomb (LU), Mud Bomb (LU), Bullet Punch (Egg), Ice Punch (Tutor), Snatch (Past-Gen TM), Endure (Past-Gen TM), and Double Team (BW TM). That adds up to (1+1+3+3+3+3+2=)16 UC, leaving me with 4 UC left.
The Legend Run
I get 12 CC; stockpiling away.
Kitsunoh gets 7 MC and 1 KOC => MC; purchasing Iron Head (LU), Shadow Claw (LU), Endeavor (Tutor), and Double Team (BW TM), stockpiling 1 MC. 1+1+3+2+1=8.
Starmie gets 12 MC and 1 KOC => MC; cashing Light Screen (which I bought as BW TM, and is in reality a LU move for it), so I now have a total of 14 MC to spend, which buys me: Dive (BW TM), Icy Wind (Past-Gen TM), Double Team (BW TM), Brine (Past-Gen TM), Grass Knot (BW TM), and Swagger (BW TM). 2+3+2+3+2+2=14.
Mienshao gets 11 MC and 3 KOC; Buying Wide Guard (LU), Bounce (LU), Jump Kick (LU), Quick Guard (LU), U-Turn (LU), Reversal (LU), Taunt (BW TM), Protect (BW TM), Dig (BW TM), and Payback (BW TM). 1+1+1+1+1+1+2+2+2+2=14.

Each of this Pokemon's Rock, Ground, and Steel-typed attacks will have two (2) added to their Base Attack Power. Pokemon with this ability are immune to Sandstorm damage.

Abilities:
Levitate: (Trait) This Pokemon naturally floats above the earth when released or easily takes flight, evading the Ground moves Bulldoze, Earthquake, Fissure, and Magnitude. Earth Power will have three (3) less Base Attack Power. Dig and Dive can strike a Levitating Pokemon if their user is over Size Class 4, has Levitate, is 3.5m or larger, or is a flying type. Otherwise Dig and Dive will miss. Ground moves can still hit. Levitate Pokemon will retain the Levitate trait when they use Skill Swap on an enemy, and will steal the opponent's ability (the user can specify if they want a foe or ally to gain Levitate from a Skill Swap.) If a Pokemon with Levitate uses Role Play, they will copy the opponent's abilities and retain Levitate.

Each hit in a multi-hit move is boosted by one (1) damage, and the Energy Cost for multi-hit attacks is increased by two (2).
