Wow, pokemon emerald rogue is so fun I'm kind of amazed it wasn't done before. I just beat the insane challenge (a quest, beat it on hard, no items, no legendaries) and that shit took 30 years off my life. It was actually so fun though. I'd have a good run, die, complain that it was bullshit, and then theorycraft for like an hour how to beat it. Final team was so refined I had tools to spare. Weakness policy multiscale dragonite and mega charizard Y did the heavy lifting but several omastar gave their lives to set up stealth rock to disable sturdy and focus sash (the cause of most of my previous losses). Had a choice scarf gengar with destiny bond in case an enemy sweeper got too set up, and choice band alakazam I didn't even use once. What a game.

It was pretty fun coming up with strats, looking them up to make sure they could work, only to find some decade old post of someone coming up with the same strat in competitive pokemon. The dragonite set I came up with was identical to a post I found afterwards and using a water tank with eject button for clean switching after using a focus sash stealth rock setter worked like a charm. Props to enemy jolteon and aerodactyle for ending a lot of my runs as well kabutops that just always seems to have focus sash and oneshot all my charizards with stone edge.

I tried a lot of strategies and I don't think I've enjoyed a turn based RPG more than this.
