Pokémon Renegade Platinum Mono-Ground Run (Part 8, Volkner Split)

Описание: With the biggest roadblocks of our run behind us, it is time to begin the eighth split of Renegade Platinum. That requires us to take on five major battles against Cyrus (twice), Saturn, the 12v12 against Mars and Jupiter, and Volkner.

The first Cyrus battle and Saturn go very similarly to their battles in previous splits. The Mars and Jupiter 12v12 is where this split starts to get interesting. Rhyperior acts as our lead against the two Crobats. Once we get into some of Rhyperior’s bad matchups, we switch in Torterra to take on the opposition. Eventually, Torterra gets overwhelmed too so we send in Camerupt in his place, which actually accomplishes quite a lot in this battle. By the time Camerupt goes down, Mars and Jupiter are down to three Pokemon, all of which Gliscor can finish off.

Then there’s Volkner who…. actually who am I kidding? It is an Electric-type gym leader against a Ground-type specialist. A Garchomp with a moveset of Swords Dance, Earthquake, and Rock Climb is enough to sweep his entire team. Not even a couple of Rotom’s with Ground immunity can stop Garchomp’s ravaging. It really doesn’t take much to acquire our eighth and final gym badge.

With that though, all that’s left is to take on the endgame of Renegade Platinum and defeat the Elite Four and Champion. I don’t expect the endgame to be too bad and I already have a team planned out for the League. Expect the finale for this run to come out on February 6th which is about a week from now. Until then, see you next time.
