team
Gengar was able to basically sweep Will; I had to use one Revive at the end though because Slowbro was able to survive one Shadow Ball; Crobat finished it off and I used Arcanine to beat the last Xatu.
Arcanine and Dragonair made easy work of Koga; Muk was a problem though, since I don't have any Psychic or Steel attacks.
Bruno wasn't too hard. Crobat was able to take care of Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee, Gengar 2HKOed Machamp, and Feraligatr took care of Onix and Hitmontop.
Karen is where I lost. Umbreon successfully tanked almost my entire team (I decided to lead with Crobat; Gengar didn't OHKO the Kimono Girl's Umbreon with Focus Blast, I figured the same would happen here), but it switched out when I sent out Feraligatr against it. Arcanine took care of Vileplume, Gengar took care of her Gengar, Crobat KOed Umbreon, and Gengar took care of Murkrow. I would've lost against Lance anyway, since I had one Revive left and Crobat and Gengar were the only two left, but I still wanted to beat Karen. Gengar used Thunderbolt to beat Murkrow and I had to switch in and out for it to be able to get Houndoom. I just had to pray that it didn't Crunch when that happened. I switched Crobat in, U-turned back to Gengar, and it used Nasty Plot--a stroke of luck! Not really. Focus Blast missed, and it used Crunch on Gengar. It subsequently KOed Crobat. End E4 run.
Gengar leveled to 42 and Crobat to 39; I should be able to get them if I level up a tiny bit more and bring more healing items.
Just to let you know that Umbreon is basically a Tank with average HP (base 110 def and base 130 SPDef) (It managed to live a lv 8x Fully EV and good IV Alakazam's Focus Blast, Lucario's Aura Sphere, and my Ampharo's Signal beam..), so if you want the OHKO, you gotta use physical Bug/Fighting attacks.
