I didn't get the chance to play the past couple of days, but I played a little last night and a lot today. I went through route 8 (I totally forgot Colress from B2/W2 randomly shows up in this game too but yeah this is when he shows up) to get to the Lush Jungle and Mallow's island trial, and for the first time in this playthrough, I had some serious trouble with a battle. Totem Lurantis actually beat my ass a couple of times.

On the first attempt, I led with Cutiefly thinking that super effective Bug damage would be enough, but thanks to the SOS-called Comfey using Sunny Day, Lurantis was outhealing my damage with Synthesis while Comfey boosted its defense and chipped away at Cutiefly. Once Cutiefly went down, Lurantis swept the rest of my team. On the second attempt, I tried leading with Magnemite to paralyze Lurantis, but it took Magnemite to 1 HP with Low Sweep and Magnemite missed with Thunder Wave's now nerfed 90% accuracy, so I reset right away. On the third attempt, I decided to lead with Gastly and immediately used Curse on Lurantis. This time, the Lurantis SOS-called Kecleon first instead of Comfey. I had Gastly use Hypnosis on Kecleon to prevent it from setting up Sunny Day, then Lurantis KO'd Gastly. I sent out Cutiefly, and without the Sun up and with Curse damage adding up, this time Lurantis couldn't out-heal Cutiefly's Bug Buzz damage. Cutiefly KO'd Lurantis while Kecleon stayed asleep, then I brought in Crabrawler to KO Kecleon and finish the battle without the Comfey ever being called in.

After this, I made my way through Diglett's Tunnel and Route 9 to Konikoni City, and now I'm currently saved right in front of the grand trial battle against Olivia and her Rock-types. Her Lycanroc and its high stats scare me, but I think I have a good enough team to take it down.

My current team: (asterisk = getting boosted experience for being past its evolution level)
Lv30 Popplio*
Lv30 Magnemite*
Lv30 Cutiefly*
Lv30 Gastly*
Lv29 Crabrawler
