Ciel continuation — 2026-10-01
Objective: win the complete three-round Fiore gauntlet in one uninterrupted attempt, then Ciel/badge13. Save and quit the process; finalize full journey and major victories.
2026-10-01 evening update: all three Fiore rounds won consecutively, with Blake/Fern attempt3 in093 and Solaris/John attempt2 in094. Verified ordinary checkpoint Fiore-gauntlet-complete: map508, quest276=34, switch579=true, twelve badges, all six healthy, money36160, two Hyper Potions/three Cotton Candies/five Full Heals/eight Lemonades. Only the final completed chain is eligible for major publication.
Ciel revision before entering: installed trainer bag has three Ultra Potions. Teach owned TM57 Charge Beam to Ampharos over Signal Beam through normal menus, then checkpoint its actual build. Paralyze Togekiss, build Special Attack with Charge Beam, and use Discharge to overcome Roost/healing. Maintain fresh HP/status checks and heal normally. Minior's Sash and Shell Smash require priority or a healthy free Swampert entry; its ordinary boosted Earthquake does not OHKO full-health Swampert. Do not pay a switch into two such attacks.
Big Top's Revelation Dance receives1.5x, and Oricorio's Synthetic Seed grants Helping Hand and Attack+1. Prefer a healthy free Swampert entry and Waterfall against the Fire/Flying Oricorio; preserve/heal it on the bench beforehand. Arcanine can cover revival/healing turns with its Fire resistance. Have Cofagrigus fully healed before a free entry against Mega Altaria; Trick Room and Destiny Bond are the planned finish. Full Heals cover Sing. Noivern has Infiltrator; do not rely on screens against it. Cryogonal172Speed outruns the installed Gliscor170Speed.
Fixed roster: Cofagrigus / Ampharos / Cryogonal (Hexan) / Mienshao / Swampert / Arcanine. Fiore normal game behavior fully heals party after wins, but roster cannot change and used items carry over. No save/reload between rounds.
Preparation: obtain one Circus shard-trade Ability Capsule for Arcanine Intimidate. Replace already-used Power Belt with Power Anklet via normal mart sale, sell Big Pearl treasure. Buy 2 Kelpsy, 3 Qualot, 1 Grepa berries (500 each), lowering Cryogonal's Attack27, Defense60, SpDef13 to make 100 EV room. Four Power Anklet KOs then fill available Speed to142: expected speed172, ahead of Haxorus164 and both Gyarados156/161. Preserve HP252 and SpA41. Two further Speed KOs for Mienshao: +64 EV, expected speed180 ahead of Krookodile179. Further grinding does not change the important Star/Weavile matchups. Use Ghost Cofagrigus pivot against only Meditite/Mienfoo to avoid unsafe Rocky EQ. Verify saved stats after training. Remove training held item before battle. Supplies currently15 Hyper Potion,4 Cotton Candy,5 Full Heal,8 Lemonade.
Round1 Diana/Kenan + Florinia: routine full party. CF Trick Room then Shadow Ball Grumpig, no Shadow Ball into Noctowl. Preserve healthy attackers and finish naturally; automatic full heal. Round2 Blake/Fern + Florinia: CF TR, DB, negative-priority TR to preserve DB until Walrein KO. After Walrein/CF trade, use Ampharos under Trick Room (125 speed vs Haxorus164, Mamoswine147, Gyarados156). Ferrothorn can Power Whip Mamoswine; Discharge chips Haxorus and then KOs incoming Gyarados. Fast Cryogonal/Mienshao enter once TR expires. Cryogonal Ice Beam is slot1; never misclick Recover slot2. New Cryogonal speed172 means Haxorus acts first under TR, so no blind old turn4 entry. Gyarados Freeze-Dry, Mamoswine Swampert or Wide Guard support. Mien Fake Out / HJK for Weavile, Krook, Sandslash; Arcanine Intimidate + Flamethrower Scizor/Roserade/Decidueye. Avoid Discharge into Krookodile; Wide Guard blocks Blizzard/EQ/Rock Slide and keeps Florinia alive. Revives half HP, heal bench before vulnerable reentry. Round3 Solaris/John + Julia: Scizor Flamethrower, Whiscash Freeze-Dry, Ground counter Magnezone after balloon broken, Mien HJK Ttar/Excadrill, Ampharos flying targets. CF TR/DB for Garchomp. Julia Explosion: Electrode is Normal (CF Ghost immune); Alolan Golem Galvanize makes it Electric (Swampert Ground immune, CF NOT immune). Wide Guard/Protect block either. Sand Rush Excadrill338 outspeeds Mien; healthy Swampert can survive ordinary Life Orb EQ and KO Surf after recoil, or preexisting TR. Do not hard-switch damaged Swampert. Inspect exact current targets at each new switch. Autoheal round2 win makes item budget key rather than HP/PP carry-over.
Ciel (after normal-world checkpoint, party change permitted): Big Top, six flyers, Mega Altaria78. Ice handles Noivern/Gliscor only on free/safe entry; Electric other flyers; CF TR/DB ace. Installed Gliscor has no Stone Edge; preserve healthy Cryogonal for its Acrobatics. Plan after Fiore complete before entry.
Every attempt stays in full recordings. Only victorious rounds113/114 and gym115 enter major master; next113attempt2, first114attempt1. Recorder90 active; capture transient system restart released held input, recovered and route verified; audit coverage later.
Ciel detailed installed-team plan: Togekiss EVs HP/Speed, SpA0 gives228; Ampharos Quick Claw + Thunder Wave first removes its speed advantage (Electric Amp cannot be paralyzed), then Discharge. Keep healthy CF for Noivern. Minior Sash/Shell Smash: healthy Swampert or Amp damage, Arcanine Extreme Speed finishes before core attacks; Intimidate reduces physical threat. Noivern Assault Vest means Cryogonal Ice Beam is not a guaranteed full-HP KO; preferred CF switch from Arcanine (Boom Burst immune) → TR/DB trade, tracking actual damage before negative-TR stall. Cryogonal172 outspeeds installed Gliscor170; Gliscor has Earthquake/Acrobatics/Roost/Defog, NO Stone Edge. Toxic Orb stays held so Acrobatics55 then BigTop1.5. Healthy Cryo survives one ordinary Gliscor Acrobatics, Ice Beam4× KOs; avoid damaged Cryo reentry. Oricorio is Fire/Flying with Synthetic Seed Helping Hand/Atk+1. Restore Amp off-field with Cotton + Hyper while Arc tanks resisted Fire, then Extreme Speed chip as Arc falls: full Amp free entry Discharge KOs chipped Oricorio. Amp Light Screen before finishing Ori can enable revived CF (113HP) to survive Altaria's first Hyper Voice, set TR then DB. Altaria Sing100% is a real alternative; stock Full Heal and enough Hyper Potions for flexible recovery. Swampert Waterfall vs paralyzed Mega Altaria offers damage/flinch fallback. Circus does not sell Ultra Potions; a Hyper fills revived Ampharos/Cofagrigus. Buy Hyper Potions after Fiore payouts; have4 Cotton and14Hyper before Fiore. Don't blindly apply offline timelines: inspect actual damage, free-entry opportunities, current field/TR turns, and sleep/crit outcomes.
The second Meditite appeared before widening the last Mienshao hunt; original two-Meditite ghost-pivot batch completed. All6 KOs have observed faint evidence. Training did not lose or faint any party member. Final current stats still need normal save verification at outside Fiore.
Verified outside checkpoint18:25EDT: all six fullHP, Cryo172Speed/EV142, Mien181Speed/EV97 (Exp.Share during earlier Cryo KOs also added3Atk and2Speed EV before the Anklet batch). Arcanine Intimidate; Cryo/Mien no held item. Cash2160,14Hypers,4Cottons. Physical party order CF/Amp/Mien/Cryo/Sv/Arc. Minor scripted assertion expected180/95 was conservative; actual181/97 verified without additional save or input.
Round2 attempt2 live: Walrein sleep meant the initial DB trade did not occur; negative-TR cancelled dimensions. CF Shadow Ball finished sleeping Haxorus, then Krookodile KOed CF. Mienshao HJK correctly targeted Krookodile but missed; Walrein Blizzard KOed Mien after Krook KOed frozen Ferrothorn. Arcanine Intimidate reduced Krook boost, Cotton revived Mien, Hyper healed Mien. Breloom Spore put Mamoswine asleep and Drain Punch KOed Krookodile. Arcanine Extreme Speed chipping Roserade. No save/reload between rounds; every miss/recovery retained in full journey.
Authoritative retry update: 113 attempt2 won but whole chain failed at 114 attempt1. Neither intermediate win enters major master. Next attempt113=3,114=2. Teach owned TM31 Brick Break over U-turn; retain HJK/Wide Guard/Fake Out. Sell unused Power Weight/Anklet and buy3Cotton+2Hyper, giving7/16. Do not stall DB if opponents focus partner; burn Tyranitar, reserve late revives. Whole chain must win before checkpoint/reload/party change. Full journey preserves all failures. Postwin Titania is Cascade359event89 at25,19, then Julia508event15 toquest36; no upstairs detour.
Live Ciel attempt1 correction: Minior immediately used Big Top Acrobatics, hit full Swampert for176, then KOed it after Sash was consumed. Do not spend Swampert on this matchup: preserve it for a free full-health Waterfall into Oricorio. Big Top Dancer boosts Special Attack and Speed EVERY dance use (Scripts/Battler.rb:5298ff), not just on a KO; repeated Hyper Potions against Revelation Dance accelerate a sweep. Light Screen does not prevent critical-hit bypass. Attempt1 had critical Mega Altaria Hyper Voice OHKO CF and critical Oricorio Revelation Dance OHKO screened Cryo. Preferred retry: CF free entry vs Minior, TR then Shadow Ball twice to break Sash and finish while bulky; Arc priority backup if needed. Healthy SV reserve for Oricorio. Altaria TR/DB remains valid when critical does not intervene.
Exact installed Acrobatics correction: Scripts/Battle_MoveEffects.rb:3766 doubles its base power on Big Top even with a held item, in addition to the1.5x field modifier. Minior has165 effective base power plus STAB before Shell Smash. CF bulky Will-O-Wisp is the revised opener; heal and burn before deciding whether TR is needed. Dancer boost is per dance use, Battler.rb:5299ff.
COMPLETED 2026-10-01 22:17 EDT: Ciel115 won attempt2; thirteen badges. Save+OS quit verified at357[4,9], quest276=40, switches579/581true.

Money17840;12Hyper,4Cotton,8FullHeal,8Lemonade; TM62Acrobatics received. Next gameplay must start with healing; no progression beyond Ciel authorized.
Winning attempt: TWave/Charge Beam Togekiss; Cryo Ice Beam Gliscor. CF Will-O-Wisp missed while Minior used Shell Smash, then TR during a second Smash; DB traded Minior. Arc covered Cotton+Hyper CF against Noivern and fainted. CF DB under residual TR survived critical Dragon Pulse at95; Noivern switched into Oricorio as negative-priority TR restored dimensions. DB then traded Oricorio. Cryo two Ice Beams finished Mega Altaria under TR. Remaining TR was exhausted during Noivern entry/heal; Noivern outsped and KOed Cryo. SV covered Cotton+Hyper CF and fainted. FullCF TR(139HP after Dragon), DB(59HP after Dragon), negative TR let Noivern attack first, preserving DB and trading final Noivern for victory. Both failed and successful Ciel attempts remain in full session095; only attempt2 enters the major archive, labelled2attempts.
