If you're going to have a support at all, chances are they're already going to be A ranked. That means the support skill only gives +5 to each stat.

I believe those are all vids of the older, less efficient run dondon did over a year ago, unless I'm wrong?

I forget if toothache's run is full Fe6 or just to 22. If it's not full, then full Fe6 hard mode gets my vote. If toothache's run is full Fe6, then Fe5 gets my vote, though that may be a bit much.

I think the Fe6 vids were produced first. Check the chapter 24 vid or epilogue vid, they were produced like a year ago. He actually uses regular tasing in the first couple vids (chapter 1, 2 maybe 3). I think it just became more interesting to use 1% crits, perfect level ups, and low hit rates than waste a shitload of time for the RNG all the time. (Vid 8x has oujay getting double crit at 1% to save a turn I believe.)

you could just ban attack (except for demon king)

Is that for Fe5 too? I understand it (and can see evidence of it) in the Fe6 vids, but in Fe5 he seems to move the cursor a lot and idle on enemies before attacking him. Also, in a different Fe5 TAS I remember Dean getting the exact same level up 5-10 times in the same chapter (+6, move, and remove). Is it possible that hovering over enemies advances the RNG in Fe5?

If either of you watched the video, you would know it's going to heath.

nico video has a 161 turn completion, but that's probably a bit too much RNG abuse for your liking. 9 turn prologue means Sigurd has to dodge a ridiculous number of attacks. http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm5401513

I'll pass then

Sure err, didn't read whole thing. Do you still need people?

8th Gym 40 Archeops 41 Galvantula 39 Samurott 38 Whimsicott 40 Sawk 36 Pawniard (26 Simisear) Levels are not exact, but are pretty close. Between the 7th Gym and the 8th, basically everyone OHKOed until I reached the gym. All the plasma grunts' pokemon were down in 1 Thunder, Aerobatics, Razor Shell, or Brick Break. Caught a level 33 Pawniard right before the gym. The Gym however didn't go so well. Archeops was the only one able to outspeed the dragons after a Dragon Dance. There being so many dragons meant my team got picked off slowly over time. On the last trainer before the leader I was finished off because Archeops recoved 50% of his HP from a revive, not 50% + 1, which was needed to KO the last pokemon. Came back and made quick work of the last trainer. Gym leader wasn't any harder, but because of an unlucky miss with stun spore, I had to use Sawk's Sturdy to get the final hit in on Haxorus. Elite 4: Victory road was annoying with wild pokemon higher than all my pokemon. I had to use 2 Max revives (I had no regular revives) to get to the doctor, but it was free sailing from there. Took Fighting first. Archeops dodged a stone edge and a rockslide that would have OHKOed from Mienshao and Throh. I stalled Sawk out of stone edges and KOed with Archeops. Sawk brickbreaked Conkledurr just enough for Archeops to KO. Ghost Second. Whimsicott and Pawniard took out her full restores (drained the coffin to red health, twice). Archeops took it out with Acrobatics and a Fly. Galvantula 2HKOed Jellicent with Thunder. Samurott 2HKOed (Razor Shell + Aqua Jet) Chandelure (draining the full restores came in handy here, due to a burn). Golurk fell to a Surf + Acrobatics. 45 Archeops 43 Galvantula 42 Samurott 41 Sawk 39 Pawniard 38 Whimsicott Psychic, Ghost and N were pretty straight forward. Had to abuse revives a little to get past gothitelle, but that was it. Ghetsis was annoying as usual. Coffin fell to Reshiram, Hydregon took a 120 power revenge, stab brickbreak, and Aqua Jet (from low red HP). Had to restore Sawk in order to kill it. Sawk also took down the Buffalo next. I had to abuse revives a shitload on the last 3 pokemon, but eventually took him down after using the last one. (Started the elite 4 with 25.) Final Levels: Reshiram (51) Archeops (46) Galvantula (45) Sawk (44) Samurott (43) Pawniard (42) (Whimsicott, 38) (Simisear, 26) End time of 13:33. Blacked out 3 times. Overall rating: Pawniard: Sucks - Not too sucky. Comes in really really late. Pretty low leveled and with pretty bad stats but it has good moves and doesn't take long to catch up with Exp Share. Can get a few kills even on the Elite 4 with Evolite. It was able to take down N's Archeops pretty well, but it really comes too late to do much at all. It'll never evolve unless you over-level a shit ton. Simisear: Sucks - Not too sucky. Helps for the first gym, then doesn't do much at all until the forest. Helps a bit there against... wild pokemon. Probably won't help a whole lot with the 3rd gym at all, unless you've somehow found out how to get it to level 22 that quickly. Once it reaches level 22 it's usable, but even then it won't do a whole lot outside of stab/super effective bite. Whimsicott: Average Statuses shit. Leeches from stuff. Standard grass fare, though it doesn't really do a whole lot of damage. Still a decent pick if you can get the better of the two abilities. Galvantula: Great From Iccirus City onwards it's one of the best in the game. Thunder 2HKOs nearly anything, and it's fast. Samurott: Great Deals decent damage for the whole game. Nothing really extraordinary, but powerful nonetheless. Dependable earlygame too. Archeops: Great - Top My Archeops had a calm nature and was pretty slow too I believe. Still ended up the most powerful (non-legendary) on the team. It was absolutely crucial in every Elite-Four battle and all the battles in the 8th Gym. It does however have a slow start. It's weak until Acrobatics and likely won't gain a decent rock move unless you backtrack for Rockslide (though it may not actually need it). Sawk: Top - Top of Top Great ability, great power, great speed, decent Movepool. Comes early and is useful until the end of the game.

7th Gym: 35 Whimsicott 36 Samurott 37 Archeops 37 Galvantula 37 Sawk 24 Simisear Took me quite a while. I accidentally reset after beating the doctor in Twist Mountain, setting me back quite a bit. Got X-Scissor, ran through Cheren and Twist Mountain (Picked up Flash Cannon). Bought Thunder at the pokemart. Galvantula and Samurott evolved in the cave, but Archen was only level 35, so I cleaned up Route 8 to get him to level 37. Finally able to teach him fly, I backtracked to Axew cave to get RockSlide. Whimsicott hasn't really done anything recently, most of its recent exp has been from EXP Share. Taught: X-Scissor, Thunder to Galvantula. RockSlide and Fly to Archeops Surf to Samurott. RockSlide, Strength to Sawk. Sawk OHKOed everything in the Ice gym except the last two pokemon. He was taken down by Crygonal because of confusion. Samurott OHKOed with revenge. As of this point: Samurott has been rather solid. Not the best, but consistently able to survive and do damage. Archen has been rather lackluster, but that could be because I got a Calm Natured one. Cottonee does exactly what I expected it to do: disable the enemy's strongest pokemon. Galvantula hasn't impressed yet (I haven't used it much), but after Evolution it gained a lot of speed and 91% accurate Thunder should make it useful really fast. Sawk still destroys everything. Bisharp doesn't exist yet. Simisear sucks.

Up to 6th Gym now. 31 Whimsicott 32 Sawk 33 Archen 34 Joltik 34 Dewott (Dropped) 24 Simisear I dropped Simisear after the Fourth Gym. It's offence was terrible with anything other than it's STAB, and even then it was usually a 3HKO. Current levels reflect who has had the EXP Share more recently, not who has been more useful. Whimsicott and Sawk destroyed the ground gym, with Dewott getting a few kills in as well. The first pokemon I met in the Electric Cave was a level 27 Joltik, to whom I immediately gave exp share (get it ready to beat the flying gym). Electric Cave took a while since I forgot to buy any repels. But Whimsicott doesn't die, so I was able to reach the doctor and heal before the N battle. I gave Archen the lucky egg before I forgot I was halving his attack power with Aerobatics. Bought Repels, unequipped lucky egg, and ran through the ghost tower pretty quickly. Joltik KOed most of the pokemon in the flying gym with a combination of electroball and Volt Change. Dewott leveled up with EXP share (trying to get him to evolve quickly). Looking forward, Sawk is likely going to solo the Ice gym, Whimsicott will likely get EXP share after Dewott evolves.

Fourth Gym Dewott: 22 Simisear: 23 Sawk : 25 Archen : 25 Cottonee: 25 Got Evolite, Got Dig, Got Plume Fossil, Got bike, then backtracked all the way to get Archen. On the way I used Exp Share to get Pansear to level 22 and get a half decent fire move, then evolved him. Then ran back to the 4th city and got the Return TM and the Strength HM. Taught almost everyone return and a few dig then attempted the 4th Gym. Elesa's Emolgas destroyed me, and I lost the first time around. Second attempt I lead with Simisear which cut down both Emolgas to 50%. Sawk was able to KO one before it succumbed to Aerial Ace, Dewott dropped the zebra to 50%. Cottonee para'd it to allow Archen to finish it off. Then had to revive Sawk to finish off Emolga because I have no rock moves. I'm evolving Cottonee at 26 after Giga Drain.
