  1. The basic idea is to change the Miror B. fight to this:
  2. 1: X Special Espeon+X Special
  3. 2: X Special Espeon+Confusion Ludicolo (priority is 31/28/30/29)
  4. 3: SR 28/29+Confusion Ludicolo
  5. 4: SR 28/29+Confusion Ludicolo
  6. 5: SR+Confusion Sudowoodo (SR will finish the L28/29 if Croc got flinched once)
  7.  
  8. This saves a lot of animation time and recoil damage on Croc, greatly reduces the need to crit with Shadow Rush, and removes Sudowoodo trolling entirely.
  9.  
  10. Notably, you can do this fight with Meditite even if it's not in Hyper Mode (it will 2HKO the lower-level Ludicolos just like Hyper Mode Croc). And since Croc takes less damage and is generally less useful on Miror B., you could consider using it for the preceding two fights in order to gain more experience, lower the shadow bar of a bad nature, or save turns over an uncooperative/low Attack Meditite. Of course, you usually want Meditite in Hyper Mode for Relic Forest, but this isn't essential.
  11.  
  12. Stats can matter a lot for this strat. Here are some general notes:
  13. - Espeon outspeeds the L28 Ludicolo in rain with 30-31 IV (and ties at 27-29), making the 3 X Spec strat even better
  14. - The L31 and L30 Ludicolos can be ranges at +3, and it's likely optimal to go to +4 with <19 IV. Here's the breakdown:
  15. > 28-31 IV: 94/100%
  16. > 25-27 IV: 82/100%
  17. > 22-24 IV: 77/100%
  18. > 19-21 IV: 71/94%
  19. > 13-18 IV: 65/88%
  20. - Crocs/Meditites with bad Attack or no Hyper Mode especially benefit from the strat, as it avoids SR+Confusion ranges on the L30/31 Ludicolos
  21. - Fast Crocs (48+) don't benefit as much, as they can handle the L30/31 Ludicolos easily.
  22.  
  23. The 3 X Specials will need to be made up, but this can be done with only ~10 seconds of time loss in shopping. Also, getting more experience on Croc will reduce the need to use 2 X Specials on Rider Delan.
