when the protect came out i thought i was doomed, but z-moves break through protect, so it took like 60% and i was able to finish it off. i had a few other attempts at funny plays that didn’t end up working out (the person i actually know irl was relying pretty heavily on mega lopunny so i put protect on a few targets to fuck it over with crash damage, for example, but it didn’t actually use it that game) but other than goofy EV spreads to just barely outspeed after speed drops (i forgot to mention that’s another reason i picked goodra, for gooey) and pick up/avoid certain KOs, i think i mostly just outplayed in normal ways. anyway, you also asked for my favorite pokemon, it’s aron, i just think it’s such a cute little metal rock dog thing
