regarding recovery movesHow often did you have to use recovery moves? Like Recover on Porygon Z?
And how was Espeon’s performance?
- Recover on Porygon-Z was sometimes useful and I used it in like 5-6 fights - with screens and defense boosts from Z-Conversion you survive an All-Out Pummeling or some Earthquakes and heal back with Recovery while tanking weaker hits. I'm not sure if Hyper Beam for the option of a Breakneck Blitz would have been more useful.
- Moonlight on Clefable is needed almost every round you bring it - provoke a physical attack to trigger the berry for the defense boost and heal right back with moonlight and then slowly setup with calm mind and moonlight
- Recycle on Snorlax was used also very often (except when the enemy knocks off the berry)
- Recycle on Klinklang was only useful in a couple of fights - mostly because the berry triggers only at 25% health
- Synthesis on Serperior was only useful in 1-2 fights - once after a knock off and once to heal back from 1 HP to full life and then do some switching
Espeon performed very good. I started almost every fight with it. With screens and calm mind it sometimes killed whole teams on its own. It mostly gets at least one screen out (except against Accelgor with Bug Buzz, a Ambipom which did a crit with fakout + return to finish and a choice scarf adamant Haxorus with Outrage). Having screens out lets you savely boost with Curse Snorlax, Z-Conversion Porygon Z, Leaf Storm Serperior, Shift Gear Klinklang or even Calm Mind Clefable. And psychic can onehit many fighting types (or bring them in range for an easy kill with Choice Scarf Leaf Storm Serperior).
