Sure, I wouldn't mind tips (I don't have leftovers or a sufficiently-levelled Ferrothorn though).

I was able to beat Cypress 1 for the first time a moment ago, but lost to Cypress 2. I didn't realize her Manectric knew ice beam, and lost my Haxorus to it. One thing I've noticed is that in every battle I've won so far my last Pokemon standing was Rapidash. Except once where I had both Rapidash and Vanilluxe left.

I've only got 10 Pokemon at 100 that have decent IVs though, so there's limitations in my options.

We've found that IVs don't really matter for battling, it's just their actual stats.

I can only beat youngster Joey

I always get down to Kyurem on Cypress 1, but no luck.

Just got my second win against Cypress 1. My Vanilluxe is surprisingly competent against her Kyurem.

Competent for derpy-looking ice cream I mean. I actually didn't use my 6th Pokemon at all this time!

Alright, well I mostly have a set team that can take on them all: Larvesta(Speed and Attack/leftovers), Ferrothorn(Defenses/leftovers), Quagsire(Defense and Attack/Choice Band), and Weavile(Speed and Attack/Ground Gem). The items aren't imperative, but the leftovers are extremely helpful, so if you can, I'd get those. I love speed and attack, but it is definitely useful to have something with defenses that can just keep dishing out attacks. For Cypress 1, I start with a Hitmonlee, for Cypress 2, I start with a Rhyperior (but it's really not that amazing), and for Cypress 3, I start with Aerodactyl, which actually works really well because of it's speed and attack. I always give my pokemon recover and swords dance/nasty plot (depending on which is their strength). If anyone wants to add anything, go ahead

Hm, well at this point I've actually got at least one win against all of them with my current team.

Hopefully this can continue steadily enough to get me those battle achievements I need. :3

My Spiritomb just gained a little over 268000exp in one vs. seeker battle!

That's 27 levels in one battle!

*clicks Snorlax*

I seem to have found winning team combinations for battling the three Cypresses and ???. I've only lost once since discovering how to set up my teams this way, and that was due to an unfortunate crit from Cypress 2's Jolteon (the strongest Pokemon of the toughest one in my opinion).

1 more win against #3 to Cypress Conqueror
3 more wins against #1 to Cypress Battler and against #2 to Cypress Smasher
8 more wins against ??? to It's a Mystery.

...And that's 4 achievements! I'll probably also have gotten one or two others by then, so Cypress Battler/Smasher might be enough to get me to my 200th achievement!
