Bashed my head against the battle factory for a bit in HG. Best winstreak I managed to get was actually 28, before losing to a Gyarados-2 that I had no real answer to in the draft. I did take the one possible answer (Leafeon) but I also misplayed really bad by trying to yawn it; I could see it was a set 2, I should have realized it had a lum berry. I did have a chance to at least KO it even then with Lucario (the KO from Gyarados was a range), but I don't think I could have pulled off a reverse sweep. The run I just finished died right before the first Thorton fight, but I didn't really like my odds considering I didn't really have much of anything for electric types. Never really saw anything great besides a Primeape with EQ, which I probably should have just taken but it's whatever.
