And then, Dual Wingbeat. She's using the multi-attack move so she can crit fish. (Also, against Lucario, Flamethrower instead.)

Alisaie, meanwhile, will not use Reflect against opponents, wary of Brick Break. Instead, she'll be going for raw Psychic, or if it seems she'll survive one-two blows, Calm Mind and then Psychic, the classic Psychic look. She will also be holding the Leftovers instead of Wild Rose.

Tiger's Eye is set up for Bulldoze spam, to either force Bruno to switch or to be ready for others.

Wild Rose, Audino, will Mega Evolve right away. Her duty is Simple Beam - especially against Machamp - before Misty Terrain and the Special Loop.

Rhalgr will go for a sneaky Choice Scarf Fissure. Again, this is only because Minfilia wishes to show the strength of the strategy, if showing Bede isn't enough. Especially since she is certain Bruno might carry the same.

Moenbryda might only be the last in the order, but she's not the last resort some might think she is. She'll be there for Aerial Ace and Avalance, with a bit of Aqua Tail. Just her regular loop!

Minfilia is aware of Karen being a status-based fighter, and thus, is ready. A quick set up of Stealth Rocks on Weavile, and then Explosion. Because she knows Weavile is fast, and Weavile is also a threat.

Rhalgr is set up to win here, however. Instead of Fissure, which has been her main strat with the guy, she's given him the Expert Belt. Tying it so it looks like the Choice Scarf, under blue fabric.

Mach Punch will be the main move Rhalgr uses against Weavile, Absol, and Umbreon. But against others? Minfilia will reveal the truth. Rock Slide on Houndoom and Honchkrow, Foresight and Dynamic Punch on Spiritomb. Even if he's burned, Rhalgr will fight on.

Wild Rose is going to go Misty Terrain and Mega Evolved. For every opponent except for Spiritomb, she'll be going for the physical loop. Meanwhile, Spiritomb gets the Special Loop, with Dazzling Gleam.

Moenbryda now has the Choice Scarf, and what will she use it for? Aqua Tail.

Warburton with Muscle Band will be on the Sand Tomb path, without Sandstorm (unless Houndoom uses Sunny Day). And then, will be going for Earthquake on all but Honchkrow, who gets Stone Edge.

Alisaie knows she's fighting a losing battle if she's out, but she'll be going for the Fake Out - Screens - Wonder Room. And then Nasty Plot - Disarming Voice. Mostly to counter any evasion.

The final battle.

Minfilia has given Tigers' Eye her Focus Sash, so she can get Stealth Rocks up. She is aware that there is a faint coming next turn, and doesn't fight it. No, she lets Tigers' Eye faint early-on. (If he survives by a miracle, she uses Explosion.)

But Moenbryda. Oh, beautiful Moenbryda. She's using Block right away, before a single Avalance. Taught for this purpose. Well, not a single Avalance. Two of them.

Moenbryda will be focusing on using Avalance and Liquidation. Except... when Gyarados comes out? Hard switch out, to Rhalgr. Opposite typing, so she knows that Lance will likely not predict it. (Especially since it seemed that Moenbryda could counter with Screech and Return.) When Moenbryda comes in the second time, she will be using a single Agility after trapping her opponent in. You know. For Fun. Unless Trick Room is up.

Rhalgr is Choice Scarf again, even if it's not for Fissure. No, he's there as a revenge killer, most of the time. Thunder Punch on Gyarados, Ice Punch on Salamence, Garchomp, Altaria, and Dragonite, and Rock Slide on Charizard. (If Lance switches in Charizard after Gyarados, it'll get a face full of Thunder Punch as well.)

Wild Rose is set up as a defensive choice this time! Switching in and Mega Evolving right away, Wild Rose is there to, in no paticular order:

- If Lance uses Outrage, to stop the rampage.

- Be a pivot who can set up Trick Room, if Lance boosts Speed too much.

- Retaliate if a non-Tigers' Eye Pokemon faints.

- Use Entrainment to remove abilities if they become hard to avoid.

- If she's forced to not be a pivot and fight, she'll Substitute and then go between Dazzling Gleam or Hyper Voice, and Life Dew and Refresh. You know, to stall.

Warburton is excited. Dragon vs Dragon. The sand will be set up, the Smooth Rock pretty, but no Supersonic. No, just Laser Focus and either Stone Edge or Outrage. Yeah, Minfilia is using the same move she's countered with Wild Rose. Also, Dragon Tail to force out heavily boosted enemies.

Alisaie, too, is defensive but not as annoying as Wild Rose. Her regular Fake Out - Screens - Nasty Plot - Psychic/Thunderbolt loop. It might be a little simple, but sometimes simple is best, especially after some of these plans.
