Well, to start things off, It was prep for the Elite Four Time, & it quite frankly, did not take that much time. Only buying a bunch of items, equipping some items (Including Rocky Helmet to 0MagSlag!), & feeding 1 Rare Candy to Grub, Reckless, Rover, & Furious, & I was all set for the Elite Four.
First up was Caitilin, & I send out Grub the Leavanny to lead against Musharna. Jokesharna simply wasted its time using Hypnosis + Dream Eater, while I get Grub to +6 Attack with Swords Dance, & use Full Heal on the Dream Eater turn. From then on in, it was a simple Leavanny sweep, with Grub outspeeding & OHKOing everything. Even Metagross & Sigilyph of all things stood no chance. Easy win.
Next was Shauntal, where I put Rover in the lead vs. Cofagrigus. Simple alternation between Work Up & Full Restore/Hyper Potion at the beginning, & once Rover was at +6 Attack, & in a good condition, I let him loose, taking out Cofagrigus & Golurk. Then Chandelure arrived. Armed with a Choice Scarf. It burned Rover alive with Fire Blast, allowing Furious to come in, damage it severely with Surf, while only taking enough damage to be 3HKOed by Fire Blast, but yeah. Chandy got drowned, & then Drifblim got zapped by Shy. Grub then fought the war against Banette, shrugging off hits, before taking it out, giving me win #2.
Marshal was third, & I lead with Furious against his Throh. Throh simply tried to slow down Furious, but Furious was sturdy enough to wipe out Throh. 0MagSlag was next against Mienshao. Mienshao missed with Hi Jump Kick. Then got totalled by Sludge Bomb. I then sent Furious back out for Conkeldurr. Dealt lots with Psychic, then Conk hammered Furious out with Hammer Arm. No big deal. Reckless then made an appearance to Flare Blitz Conkeldurr into the stratosphere. Then 0MagSlag returned for Sawk. 0MagSlag basically Sludge Bombed it to death, before Lucario came out & KOed 0MagSlag with Psychic. At least Reckless was there to take it out with Flare Blitz, & the battle was won.
Grimsley was the last E4 member to be challenged, & it was Rover that lead the charge...After I took advantage of the predictable Normal Gem Fake Out Liepard used to heal Reckless. Liepard eventually fell, & Scrafty was next...To fall to Reckless' Superpower...Furious handled Krookodile, Grub swatted Absol, & Reckless finished Grimsley with a Superpower to Bisharp's face.
Last was Iris. The last battle. Grub opened against Hydreigon, then knocked her into the stratosphere with an X-Scissor. Aggron then tried to wall Grub, but invited Furious to smash it with Surf. Lapras was next, & Shy came in to dodge a Sing or two, before seeing it out with a flurry of Thunderbolts. Haxorus came in next, & I stayed in, with the hope of Thunder Waving it while it used Dragon Dance. Shy got belted by Earthquake. I was then forced to send in 0MagSlag. The Dragon Dance came, but was then met with a well-timed Clear Smog which wiped the boost! Then with the help of Hyper Potions, 0MagSlag abused his Rocky Helmet to weather the incessant Outrage spam from Haxorus, before Haxorus finally recoiled itself to death, even after a Full Restore. 0MagSlag made one last hurrah dealing lots of damage to Druddigon, before falling to an Outrage, as Reckless wiped Druddigon off the map with a Superpower! Finally, Furious came out for Archeops. Paranoid about Flying Gem Acrobatics, I went to Disable...Dragon Claw. Then Archeops missed with Stone Edge, as Furious dealt the final blow, sending Archeops on her way with one final Surf!
And with that, the Scramble was won. The credits rolled, as the Post Game started to loom...
Magnezone [Shy] (-)
Lv58 | Magnet Pull | Impish
-Thunder Wave
-Supersonic
-Thunderbolt
-Return
Comments: With a -Sp. Attack nature, you are pretty sure that this thing would hit like a...something weak, & that pretty much said it all for me. Though it was not Rover weak, it was close. It served as an okay attacker, & for something that is supposed to be top tier, it was fairly disappointing to use.

Stoutland [Rover] (F)
Lv58 | Sand Rush | Bashful
-Leer
-Tackle
-Work Up
-Bite
Comments: Fuck this thing. Tackle & Bite only. For the Early game? Really good. But later on? Pathetic. If you could not OHKO a Haxorus with Tackle at +6 Attack, there must be something wrong. Pure LVP Material. This thing was without a shadow of a doubt, the LVP. Shy might have been bad too, but at least it got a useful attacking option later on.

Darmanitan [Reckless] (M)
Lv59 | Sheer Force | Jolly
-Overheat
-Work Up
-Flare Blitz
-Superpower
5/5 #Times died to recoil damage
Comments: Ugh Flare Blitz, but unlike the other Top Tier Pokémon used in this Scramble, Reckless did not disappoint, especially when gifted a Jolly Nature & 31 Attack IV's. Reckless was the true powerhouse of this team, & I loved using it. Still does not change my opinion that Flare Blitz sucks, but maybe only because I never liked recoil moves...

Leavanny [Grub] (F)
Lv60 | Chlorophyll | Gentle
-Leaf Blade
-Swords Dance
-X-Scissor
-Shadow Claw
Comments: For a Pokémon who generally suffered from limited usage early on, Grub eventually turned out to be quite a force as the levels of the opponents rose, despite her terrible typing. Swords Dance was a treat, instrumental in sweeping Caitilin, & the rest were just coverage. Really solid member.

Golduck [Furious] (M)
Lv60 | Cloud Nine | Bold
-Disable
-Fury Swipes
-Psychic
-Surf
20/20 trainers soloed
Comments: Well, this literally was a case of a Pokémon transforming from an ugly duckling to a beautiful duck. As a Psyduck, it was frustrating as hell to use, even against the Breeder I abused to get rid of the restrictions. As it evolved, it turned into a solid attacker who really proved itself to be able to take down the Pokémon it needed to when I needed the most.

Weezing [0MagSlag] (M)
Lv63 | Levitate | Impish
-Sludge Bomb
-Flamethrower
-Venoshock
-Clear Smog
Comments: Best Physical Tank ever. Able to bludgeon through most physical Pokémon, & tear them apart. Nothing else I need to say. MVP of this Scramble.
And that is that for the Scramble, final time was like 28 hours or something, I do not remember. But other than that, Scramble Complete!
Cheers!
