With Wish + Counter, you can only heal once every two turns. With Soft Boiled + Counter, you can heal every turn while they die to Toxic (which can help if you're paralyzed against, say, Thundurus). I don't think I understand your point about Flare Blitz...Soft Boiled makes you heal (and makes them hit themselves) every turn, which Wish + Protect only allows them to hit themselves with recoil every other turn.Thank you, VaporeonIce :)
That's a great idea for Flare Blitz Arcanines or Rapidash for example, yes. But Wish let you the choice to sweep or Protect. So Wish + (Protect + Seismic) is a good thing for me because Taunt users, when you know who they are (you don't have any great special attacker with Taunt), I can easily beat them with Clefable and Skarm. And for Flare Blitz, they can beat themselves with the damage of the recoil against Wish + Protect spam. But I don't forget your idea which is great: maybe replace Protect by Counter. I'll think about it, just studying when I REALLY need Protect with Eviolite Chansey.
And Breloom 2 and 3 can appear with the Chefs cuz they can have 2 and 3 in Water, Grass or Fire Pokes.
As far as everyone on this thread knows (unless I missed something), Chefs run the following after battle #40:
Chef Roux runs a sun team. This includes various Fire and Grass Pokemon, and can run all four sets on some of those Pokemon, but only includes those that have Sunny Day or an ability that benefits from sun (e.g. Chlorophyll). He can't have Breloom.
Chef Andrei runs a Hail team (or, perhaps more accurately, a Blizzard team), which includes every non-legendary Pokemon that has Blizzard (and a random Meganium 2, probably because of some programming error, because it knows Petal Blizzard). This includes random Water- and Ice-types, as well as Abomasnow and that random Meganium set, and isn't exclusively set 4. He also doesn't run Breloom.
I have never seen any other Chef after battle #40 run any set besides set 4, and others who have researched Battle Maison trainers on this thread have found the same thing. None of them should have any Breloom sets besides set 4.
