Victory Road Battle #56 – Ace Trainer Hope Frosslass – Surf Battle #57 – Expert Bryn Hitmontop – Surf Throh – Origin Pulse (Ice Beam, Surf on 4IV or less) Battle #58 – Ace Trainer Edgar Mawile – Surf

Pick up the Elixir hidden just to the north of Edgar, unless you still have the Ether.

Battle #59 – Expert Theodore Sawk – Surf

If you need to save time here, Origin Pulse always kills the Gallade with 6 or more Spatk IV at +1 Spatk, but Surf never kills. Skip the second Calm Mind if you are willing to risk a 15% chance of likely death if you miss. With 31 IV speed and a + Nature you tie Mega Gallade, so this strateggy becomes less risky. Regular non Mega Gallade outspeeds you with 0-13 Speed IV (86 at Lvl 45), and a minus nature, always Calm Mind X2 in this situation and X Speed if scared.

Battle #60 – Pokémon Trainer Wally Altaria – Calm Mind X2, Ice Beam Roselia – Ice Beam Magneton – Ice Beam, Surf Delcatty – Surf Mega Gallade – Surf/Origin Pulse

 Pokémon League Heal Kyogre at PC, Depositing Marshtomp.

Battle #61 – Elite Four Sidney Mightyena – (X Speed), Surf

If your speed is 22 IV or less Sharpedo will outspeed you, but it's only worth using an X Speed if you are outsped by Shiftry (a -Spd Nature with 0-17 IV) Shiftry – X Special, Ice Beam (89 Speed)

You never need the X Special if your Spatk IV is 29 or Greater and you will have rain for sharpedo, Or if you have a + nature. Always use it on a - Nature. The range on Shiftry is still worth going for with any IV over 24 (94.1%). You can legitimately consider going for the range at anything over 10IV (70%) but since Shiftry often uses Fake Out anyway, it's usually not worth risking missing the range unless you really need to save time.

Cacturne – Ice Beam

Sharpedo – (Origin Pulse)/Surf (104 Speed)

Always Calm Mind on Sharpedo if not at +1 and the Rain has or will stop by the time you get to it.

Sharpedo is a range with Surf on a -Spatk Nature with any IV both A. If the rain stops and you are at +1, such as when you get spiky shield from Cacturne and Fake Out on Shiftry, and;

B. If you do not X Special for some reason with a – Nature and the rain is still up.

Always Origin Pulse in this situation, On a neutral Nature, +1 Surf is always more likely to kill than Origin Pulse.

Absol – Surf /(Origin Pulse)

If you skipped the X Special here and your Spatk IV is 0-19 use Origin Pulse here, otherwise Surf is the better option.

Use a Hyper Potion on Kyogre Battle #62 – Elite Four Phoebe Dusclops – Surf /(Origin Pulse)

On a -Spatk Nature us Origin Pulse instead of Surf UNLESS your IV is 29 or greater.

Dusknoir – Origin Pulse/ Calm Mind, Surf

With 7 or less Special Attack IV or a -Special Attack Nature always Calm Mind and Surf to kill here. With 15 IV or less this is advisable as it guaruntees the damage ranges on Banette without Rain if you get fake out from Sableye. If fake out isn't common this may not be worth it.

Sableye – Surf Banette – Surf Banette – Surf/Origin Pulse

Use Origin Pulse if the Rain stops and your Spatk IV is 7 or less or a – Nature, and you didn’t use Calm Mind.

Battle #63 – Elite Four Glacia Glalie – Surf Walrein - X Speed, Calm Mind, Surf x2 Froslass – Surf Froslass – Surf Glalie – Surf

Skip the X Speed entirely on 31 Speed IV (111 Speed at level 50), or a +Speed nature and 12 IV or greater. If so and you have good special, do this strategy:

Glalie – Surf Walrein - Surf, Origin Pulse Froslass – Surf Froslass – Surf Glalie – Calm Mind, Surf

IF you have a – Speed nature and 0-19 IV (outsped by Glalie) or 20-22IV (tie), do the alternative strategy:

Glalie – Turn 1: X Speed, Glalie uses Hail or Light Screen Turn 2: Calm Mind, Glalie uses the opposite move to Turn 1. Turn 3: Calm Mind Turn 4: Elixir/Heal to Waste Light Screen, UNLESS, you got Hail on Turn 1 and can take another Crunch + Hail Damage, in that case use Surf here and heal next turn or on Walrein. Turn 5: If turn 1 Light Screen, Use Elixir or heal, light screen wears off and you one hit next turn. If turn 1 Hail and you used Surf last turn, you may need to heal now, otherwise use Surf to finish Glalie off. Turn 6: Surf (either to finish or OHKO Glalie at +2 with no Light Screen up) OR, you kill Glalie and Walrein comes out, if somehow you don't need to heal use an Elixir to waste the last Light Screen turn, otherwise, use a Full Restore.

Walrein – Surf Surf

You can theoretically miss this 2 shot with anything below 19 Spatk IV, use Origin Pulse if the first Surf does a lot less than half. Surf is pretty much always the correct play on >13 Spatk IV.

Froslass – Surf Froslass – Surf Glalie – Surf

Use an Elixir/Ether on Surf and Hyper Potion on Kyogre Battle #64 – Elite Four Drake Altaria – X Speed, Calm Mind, Ice Beam

Skip the X Speed on a + Speed Nature with 26+ IV.

Flygon – Surf Flygon – Surf Salamence – Ice Beam Kingdra – Ice Beam, Ice Beam

The 2 shot on Kingdra is Guarunteed unless you have a -Nature. You'll only put it into heal range with a + Nature and very high IV, but still always use Ice Beam and always go to +1

Battle #65 – Champion Steven Skarmory – Ice Beam, X Speed, Calm Mind X 3/Calm Mind x2

Heal/Kill Skarmory if below 70 HP. + Use an X Speed with a -Spd nature and 0-10IV.

Hope for FRZ, heal before 3rd Toxic turn. If you really need to save 1 turn here to achieve your goal time, skip the 3rd Calm Mind. You need to Origin Pulse Metagross, which gives you a 15% chance of death. On less than 10 IV always use 3 unless you want to risk a range on cradily.

With a +Spatk Nature and26-31IV, Metagross is guarunteed to die to +2 Surf. Surf is more likely to kill than Origin Pulse with a +Nature and 16-25IV.

Cradily – Surf

You can use the 3rd Calm Mind on Cradily, it has Giga Drain and Confuse Ray, Giga Drain Crit does 90-120HP.

Healing confusion and health before Aggron is fine, and protects you against a Stone Edge Crit.

Aggron – Ice Beam, Surf

Stone Edge Crit does 114-157 HP

Claydol – Surf Armaldo – Surf Mega Metagross – Surf/Origin Pulse Bullet Punch does 27-38 HP

Battle #66 – Pokémon Trainer May Swellow – Calm Mind x6 or x7
