Finally, FINALLY took on Candice after plenty of setbacks, including the loss of two pivotal members of the team to some absolutely stupid grinding mishaps. The battle itself went quite smoothly; The Butler subduing her Snover, Abomasnow and Medicham with some deftly placed Fire Punches, allowing Star Ving to soften up her Sneasel with Intimidate before letting Tank CTRL finish it off with a super effective Natural Gift (Bluk Berry giving a 70BP Fire attack)

I decided to switch out Sondheim with The Butler since I thought of something I might want Chimchar for in Platinum, and I really wanted to use a Hitmonchan in Sinnoh anyway, so the switch seemed appropriate. Hopefully Sondheim can chill out in the box without having to tag in again, but you never know when a perfect IV +Sp A nature Noctowl might show up again...

Prayer, mostly
That final fight against Cyrus in Platinum is brutal, Luxray should be quite helpful however as long as you don't lead with it
