Actual Hardy trainer preparation
Normal prepared134 checkpoint: CF/Swamp/Mien/KG/Exc/Ludi all90, fullHP/PP. Swamp restoredRockClimb; Ludi learnedScald normally. Owned KGWideLens/LudiWiseGlasses verified on PC entry and saved status.
Alistair: revised leadLudi, ownXSpDef then ownXSpAtk. Lunar ordinary special bound conservatively75 after+2SpD; require76HP before unhealed setup/attack. MegaDrain0 twiceLuna, onceCarr(4xGrass), Scald3Armaldo. Ludi142 vsLuna150; reserveUltra before lowHP attacks. Verify actual Speed ifIcyWind: Arma112/SwiftSwim224 can outspeed loweredLudi, so stop and inspect before its entry rather than assuming rain speed.
Xavier: leadKG275, ClearBody/WideLens. OwnXDef, XAcc, XAttack; boost/heal from actual HP, ordinary AurorusBlizzardSteel-resist bound82. GearGrind0OHKOAurorus/Mamoswine at+2Atk; positiveDef keepsRocky protection, Ground+RockEQ modifiers cancel SteelGround weakness. Heal if needed during setup; AncientPower boosts require review.
Noivy: leadSwamp, ownXDef+XAttack. TyranitarWaterfall0OHKO, Tyrantrumneeds2 hits under neutralWater; positiveDef and Ultra preserve againstLOHeadSmash. Actual HP/Defense guard, no predicted AI.
Frozen staticteams work/Hardy-gym-trainers-static.json and stat tables work/Hardy-*-roster.json. Expected remaining primary setup budget after normal wins: ≥3XDef,2XAttack,2XAccuracy,8XSpDef and ampleUltra. Ludi consumes lastXSPECIAL; its Hardy+4SpAreserve is unavailable without shopping, so use the reviewed Swamp primary/KG physical reserve. Replenish before later boss preparation if needed.
Actual134: Alistair and Xavier won. Aurorus visibly used Thunderbolt (~83 plus hail17); the earlier82 total estimate was too low. Xavier item totals1XDef,1XAcc,1XAtk,2Ultra; postHP142. Noivy revisedKGlead; FirePunch visibly115/125/118 afterDef+2, ordinary computed maximum131, so unhealedsetupneeds132HP. Heal based on realHP; no boost replay after recording recovery.
