After swapping for Swords Dance and trying online attempts again, since I figured having more surrounding support could probably work better
Ogerpon, Annihilape, Annihilape
I mean points for trying to use Defiant strats off the guaranteed bulldoze but It Did Not Work Better and the other 3 died so many times i think Samurott just skipped phases entirely
Bellibolt, Iron Hands, someone else I didn't even get to see because the game crashed again after taking a long time to try loading anything.
Why is the game so unstable today, I've never had crashes like this
Miraidon, Ogerpon, Iron Leaves
Lord give me the patience to deal with these team decisions. Ogrepon died immediately before I could even think of doing a Swords Dance and that Iron Leaves also died immediately and then they just kept dying and then eventually I died
When people just start dropping like flies you are not getting in more Feather Dances
And then there wasnt a 4th attempt because i got an "Unable to communicate with the other consoles" error. At least it didnt crash this time?
True attempt 4 I decided to let someone come to me and immediately got a Gogoat, & 2 Miraidon. Sure. Ok. Whatever. I don't know what the gogoat is doing but god willing maybe it will get something off before dying and i can maybe sneak 2 feather dances in.
So the Gogoat's plan was to set up Grassy Terrain (questionable, considering the Miraidons) then die
meanwhile the 2 idiot dragons both spammed the Electo Drift, then only started trying to do the proper thing of usingmetal sound after the shield went up
At least we almost got the shield down?
At this point I accepted that this Decidueye build is not great in online raids. You have no sustain and the rest of your team is going to ruin your ability to get off a second Feather Dance before the shields go up. and there's no time to try building up swords dances because you're too busy trying to keep everyone else alive or yourself alive. Even if yo uswap Taunt for Roost, I'm not sure how much better it necessarily goes. There's too many spinning plates.
So immediate next try I got the god team: Arcanine, Tauros and Arboliva
Ironically I could have gotten the Taunt in since the shield went down right before Focus Energy but I didn't snap to it. I jsutlet it ride out and got it as low as I could. Surprisingly lasted a long ass time even eating X-Scissors.
it got touch & go after my tera broke and the second debuff reset happened. Crits suddenly landed more often, felt like everyone was dying at the wrong time, no time to try to set up swords dances, felt like i was going to just barely miss the kill
But then, just barely, against the odds and even managing to eat a critical hit that gave me a heart attack....
Yes that was just a sliver of what was needed to get the kill. Those grassy terrain HP boosts that saved my life and contributed to my damage output in play there, heh. But if I hadn't gotten the kill here, it would be over; I am pretty sure I would have died and their attacks wouldn't have counted.
Caught it in a Luxury Ball...glad that's done, good lord.
