Man, Cyrus was a pain in the neck to deal with. Thank goodness it's smooth sailing from here and i'll never have to deal with that agai- oh crap.

I wound up importing the Lapras I was using in my HG file along with the Snorlax you find in that game to try and help myself out here.

There's a reason I'm concerned about Cynthia and it's because of this:

Six pokemon with amazing offensive coverage and, to make matters worse a perfect set of I.V.s.

Just for the sake of comparison, none of the Pokemon I use in online battles in Omega Ruby have a perfect set of I.Vs because my only two I.V. bred pokemon, Charizard and Tyranitar, both focus entirely on physical attacks so it just isn't practical to give them perfect I.Vs in Special attack.

My point is, I know first hand the kind of difference having perfect I.V.s has on your pokemon and that frightens me.

Snorlax wound up learning thunder punch from a shard tutor to deal with Milotic but Lucario still presents a problem to me because my usual counter for it is the Charizard I'm using which will just get nuked to oblivion with stone edge.

I'll have to find the TM for Earthquake and teach it to my Scizor.

Lapras and Charizard should be able to handle Garchomp, that Togekiss can be clipped by both Snorlax and Lapras, and I still have Empoleon and my own Roserade to back me up if needed. Spiritomb I'll just have to try and power my way through. With proper leveling I should be able to handle this.

I also need to keep an eye on the Shinnoh regional dex because I need to get that filled in order to get the legendary birds to start roaming.

And yes, I did trade myself a charmander at the start of the game, deal with it.

I'm surprised at the level of thought you've put into your Elite Four approach.

I pretty much steamrolled her lineup with Torterra.

The AI in platinum got significant buffs from D/P from what I've heard and I've seen more then enough evidence to believe it (they will abuse any type advantage they can, average trainers will switch out on me quite frequently, etc.)

Basically I'm preparing for the worst.

The issue is the team I have has been repeatedly proven to have glaring issues in some of the game's tougher fights.

Although I'm having no such issues catching Azelf and Uxie. Roserade use stun spore, Scizor use false swipe, go dusk ball, done deal.

Anyways, with those two taken care of it's time to send some of my team to Heart Gold so they can earn ludicrous amounts of boosted experience taking on some Kanto Gyms for me. At this rate people might start thinking I'm not mostly just making it up as I go. :D

Since I don't really have as much expendable income, I'm probably going back to SoulSilver, myself.

Snorlax is annoying as hell in Red/Blue. Stupid Rest, healing fully and causing my status effects to go away.
