Legal Fairy preparation for PULSE Mime + Sigmund
Source-only future plan for installed19.5.43. Evidence is frozen notes/Agate-Ricardo-won130-status.json, the closed work/current-boxes.json snapshot dated2026-10-03 02:56, compiled game species/trainers/maps, and the BigJRA Scarborough/LCCC guide. No current native save/UI/battle log/active130 media or major126 files were accessed or changed. Future actual inventory, trained stats and field must be measured normally.
Owned options first: TM99 cannot solve this with the current boxes
OwnedTM99 is DazzlingGleam, but Swoobat70/Simple, Ampharos85 and Ludicolo90 are all incompatible. Installed montext.rb and compiled Data/mons.dat agree: none has it in TM/tutor, level, egg or reminder lists; it is not a universalTM. Pokemon.rb:394–430 confirms these are the complete ordinary compatibility branches. The closed other boxed species likewise provide no DazzlingGleam candidate. Arcanine is PlayRough-compatible, but it has no ordinary reminder PlayRough and no convenient legal tutor was established. Do not queue a rejected TM or assume a new move from a generic online learnset.
Recommend acquiring the normal Sylveon gift, retaining owned Klinklang as its support. It is a useful addition for Mime and later Dragon encounters; it requires no ball, breeding, extra global password, Mega Ring or AbilityCapsule. The existing six retain Swampert/Cofa/Mienshao; a future Mime six can be Sylveon/KG/Swamp/Cofa/Mien/Cryo, subject to the actualLv95 preparation checkpoint. This is a proposal, not a claim of new ownership.
Sylveon really is available before Mime
After Hardy17 and Zero/PULSEClawitzer, 414E56[68,42] normally transfers into 774[34,22], the southeast house. Its transfer has no475/post-Mime gate. The keypad 774E122[32,17] uses normal four-digit number input(code103/variable62); 3862 sets1064True. This is an in-world keypad code, not a new global game password. Stand [36,19], facingUp, interact with 774E128[36,18], answerYes. Its only initial gift condition is1064; the claimed page is1066. There is no47530/Mime-victory prerequisite. The guide also explicitly places this quest before LCCC's second visit/Mime.
Gift: female Sylveon75, Wish/MistyTerrain/HealBell/Moonblast, RibbonCollar, randomIVs/nature and CuteCharm/Pixilate, zeroEVs. Remove RibbonCollar normally; no AbilityCapsule is necessary for Moonblast. Retain all four moves. Later Scarborough follow-up can give FairiumZ and the last DepartmentStore sticker, but those rewards are not prerequisites for this plan.
Before775E11 boss, the accessible upper LCCC branch has seven FairyGems:775E15[48,16], E16[49,15], E17[50,16], E18[50,15], E19[47,15], E22[42,18], E23[45,17], ordinaryItemBalls/selfA. Pick up/give one FairyGem to Sylveon before freezing the actual battle party/bag. Inventory is currently0FairyGem; do not credit the future pickups beforehand.
Normal training and real stock
Hardy17 raises HARDCAP to95. Train gift to 95 with252HP/252SpDef (504EV). The unused6EV need not be filled: no SpeedWing is currently owned and none is required. FreshzeroEV means8 successful normalPowerWeight KOs plus8 PowerBand KOs; power items replace the species yield with32 in the named stat, cap252. Participant/ExpShare rules still apply; ExpAll alone is not EV training. Verify the real gift/EV/stats and recover HP/PP normally.
Frozen current bag: PowerWeight1/PowerLens1/PowerBracer1, PowerBand0; XL15; HeartScale0; CalmMint0; ModestMint0; allEV-resetberries0; money43106. Existing XSPECIAL9/XSPDEF11/XAccuracy3/Ultra38/RevivalHerb2 are historical before the remaining Agate/Hardy battles, not guaranteed future stock. No new berry reset is needed for the gift. Buy normal PowerBand15000 at355E83[36,14] if its actual merchant page is available. MaxPotion2500 becomes available at17badges in default marts; FullRestore/normalRevive appear at18, so bringMaxPotions/status cures. EightMaxPotions cost20000; together withBand15000 this fits the frozen43106, but future money must be checked first.
MediumFast75→95 costs435500EXP: at most15XL before EV-training EXP/other normal gains. The frozen15XL can cover the gift only if preserved; otherLv95 upgrades compete for them. Normal Circus candy355E30 explicitly charges 20000/XL, overriding the item table's nominal200—do not propose a cheap restock from that base value. Use actual remaining candy and ordinary training/reward battles if short.
Calm is helpful but not mandatory for Mime if the measured build passes the damage guards. Neutral/all-zeroIV95 gives345HP/214SpA/311SpDef/119Speed; Calm gives345/214/342/119. Independent all-nature minima are345HP/193SpA/279SpDef/107Speed. A SpDef-lowering nature with very poor IVs needs attention: two criticalFlashCannons, with the first loweringSpDef, can total348 at279SpDef versus345HP. At290SpDef the same bound is336. Prefer realHP≥345/SpDef≥290, or use a normal Calm change if the gift fails that margin. Known normal Calm methods: uncollected-source289E109[49,11] CalmMint, favorite-nature57E40 reward when107≥8, or SevenStreet326E3 twoHeartScales. Currentbag has neitherMint norScales; none is assumed acquired. Calm is still recommended for the separate futureSaphira role.
Klinklang needs one normally acquired HeartScale to remind its level48 MetalSound, preferably overMirrorShot, retainingGearGrind/ShiftGear/Discharge. Circus355E35[50,35] offers the normal one-by-one reminder. CurrentHeartScale0 and715E64 was consumed for CofaHex, so no reuse is possible. Installed normal earlier-area pickup examples include678E8[18,14],691E8[34,46],704E87[34,53]; closed128 self-switches marked these unclaimed, but that is historical evidence, not a current pickup/ready route claim. The source scan is work/mime-normal-heartscale-source-pickups.json; inspect the actual accessible route/pickup before spending the scale. This extra preparation is deliberate because MetalSound materially shortens the boss.
Short opening: reduction, Misty, boosted Fairy hit
Mime100: 704HP/420Def/526SpDef/540Speed, Dark/Ghost/WonderGuard/Leftovers; Instruct/NightShade/Moonlight/Entrainment. Only Fairy damage bypasses its ordinary WonderGuard. Burn44 is cancelled by Leftovers44, so Wisp is not a stall solution. Moonlight restores352 on a clear ordinary/Misty field. Aromatisse93 starts alongside it: 366HP/303SpA/199SpDef/87Speed. Its moves areDazzlingGleam/Psychic/FlashCannon/Thunder.
Lead KG+Sylveon, both fully healed, KG normally holding its ownedWideLens. The already trained KG's projected95Speed197 exceeds every gift's speed after onlyHP/SpDef training; Sylveon's minimum107 exceedsAromatisse87. NoTrickRoom is needed during this opening.
- T1 KGMetalSound targetsMime; SylveonMistyTerrain. Mime acts first, but its only direct attack is fixed100NightShade; Instruct has no previous Aroma move on the first turn. Full KG survives that100 and makes its oneMetalSound attempt beforeAroma acts. On Shortcircuit MetalSound dropsSpDef by THREE stages, to210, then Sylveon castsMisty beforeAroma. MetalSound is85accuracy/93.5 withWideLens: inspect the actual drop/miss. KG may subsequently faint to a focused critical, but an already landed reduction remains; a normal free replacement can supply medicine on later turns. No opening assumes an AI target or a saved favorable roll.
- With actualMisty active, use Sylveon selfXSpDef if needed for a positiveSpDef stage; the other active member normallyMaxPotions the threatened teammate. Then Sylveon selfXSPECIAL (+2SpA), with partnerMaxPotion as required. Do not blindly select an offense setup when HP/stage guards fail or a FlashCannon drop has changed the bound. PositiveXSpDef reduces ordinary hits and provides stage buffer; criticals ignore positive stages, but retainMisty's Fairy×1.5 special defense.
- FairyGemMistyMoonblast at+2SpA/Mime−3SpDef guarantees704KO when realSylveonSpA≥195:195 gives706–831, neutralminimum214 gives775–912. At worst193SpA it gives699–822 and can miss theKO by5HP; use+4SpA (1046–1230), or a verified secondMetalSound (Misty−2 adds to−5), before claiming an OHKO. If the firstMetalSound missed and retry lands onMisty, it is only−2: +4SpA/Gem then guarantees836–984 at193. Source stage/field confirmation governs the branch.
Misty normally lasts5turns includingcasting. T1terrain/T2defense/T3offense/T4Moonblast fits the usual one-boost branch. Extra healing/retry/boost turns require an actual timer check. It cannot be refreshed while active. If it expires, stop this sequence: re-establishing it costs a turn, and Mime's fasterInstruct can use an attack beforeSylveon acts. Do not extrapolate the protected damage table ontoShortcircuit or assume an eight-turn rock.
Incoming bounds at279SpDef whileMisty: criticalFlashCannon120–141, criticalDazzlingGleam99–116 (spread), criticalThunder88–104, criticalPsychic66–78. NightShade100 +oneAroma hit is a different branch from Instruct +twoAroma hits; do not add both Mime moves into the same turn. Two cleanFlashcriticals are282, but an interveningSpDef drop can make348; use observed stages and actualhigher stats. For the finalMoonblast, Mime can produce one instructedAroma attack beforeSylveon; Aroma's own87Speed attack occurs afterSylveon's faster strike. Require HP above the current single-hit ceiling to secure the strike, then account for a possible laterhit/faint even afterMimeKO. Status/paralysis or any unexpected stat/field change stops the planned branch. MaxPotion is a full heal; Ultra's200 is not a full heal on345+HP.
Finish Sigmund with the remaining team
OnceMime falls, there is no furtherInstruct/Entrainment from it. Aromatisse may already have WonderGuard: FairyMoonblast is neutral toFairy and will be blocked. OwnedKG's SteelGearGrind, or normally taught TM91FlashCannon Cryo, still gives a super-effective path. Shortcircuit's Electric is an additional effectiveness factor (Battle_Move.rb:1118–1159), not replacementSteel: Steel2×Electric1 remains2 againstAroma. Their originalSteelSTAB remains. Therefore do not incorrectly declare those attacks unable to hitAroma onShortcircuit. Steel attacks intoMime itself remainneutral and blocked.
Use healthyKG, a verified ownXAttack/+accuracy if needed, partnerMaxPotion and single-targetGearGrind forAroma. Prioritize actualfield/SpDef/status/HP: ifMisty expires, its Thunder receives Shortcircuit's variableElectric power, and gear's ordinaryaccuracy still matters withoutXAccuracy. Keep healthy reserves; no soloKG sweep is certified.
Sigmund's later members are Drampa94/LifeOrb, AlolaRaichu94/SyntheticSeed, FrostRotom94/IciumZ, MegaAlakazam95 (468SpA/379Speed) and Electivire95/LifeOrb (328Atk/301Speed). SyntheticSeed/MagnetRise depend on the field atRaichu's actualentry; Discharge can turnShortcircuit intoFactory. MienshaoWideGuard blocks genuine spread attacks, not targetedPsychic/FlashCannon, and must not be treated as a safe psychic tank. Rotom's IciumZ and Alakazam's speed require a current HP/field check.
The boostedSylveon is useful againstDrampa/remaining specials whileMisty holds, but Electivire's physical coverage ends any Fairy solo plan. Reserve Swampert: immuneThunderPunch, neutralEarthquake/CrossChop/IcePunch. Unchanged frozenIV/EV Swamp at95 projects 311HP/200Def; Electivire criticalLifeOrb CrossChop219–258, spreadEarthquake164–194, IcePunch164–194. CleanHP≥261 secures one hit plus2rounding margin, without a defense boost. A normal partnerMaxPotion plusSwamp ownXAttack, then accurate WaveIncenseWaterfall338–398 into276HP, supplies a practical kill while preserving its Ground immunity. Inspect actualHP/stats/helditem/status first; noMega orMummy proc is assumed. Avoid ally-hittingEarthquake/Surf as a default double action. Cofa provides physical bulk/TrickRoom/support; it cannot burn a grounded foe whileMisty's status protection is active, and itsGhost/Dark attacks are weakened onMisty. These are roles/guards; choose the actualnamed incoming enemy and party HP before switching.
