First shootouts to NeoBones for suggesting the moveset of calm mind, shadow ball, and substitute. Couldn’t have done it without them.
Anyways so you enter the battle with a level 1 Litwick. It is immune to Ninetails as long as it has the ability Flash Fire. This allows you to set up for free. You then use Smog to poison it so you can get the KO easily cause at level 1 even +4 you can’t hit for any real damage and will run out of PP. Leftovers restores your HP lost from substitute(though a leftovers-less win is possible. It and maxed Dynamax Level are used as an extra layer of insurance.) When Ninetails faints you shoot up to level 19 which is sufficient for the rest of the battle. (Getting levels mid battle is a valid strat for lowball especially in newer games where you get extra exp for defeating a Pokémon higher level than you which we exploit here.)
Arcanine knows bite and is a range but this is why you have your EVs as 252 defense 252 special attack 4hp and substitute. As suggested by NeoBones to tank the bite. If Arcanine survived the range just Dynamax and you will have more than enough HP to survive.
Finally Centiskorch falls to two Dynamaxed Shadow Balls so just Dynamax now if you didn’t on Arcanine and win.
It literally can’t go lower than this. Freest level 1 with a Pokémon you can get INSIDE THE GYM.
Just remember
EVs: 252 special attack, 252 defense.
Nature: Any that boosts special attack and doesn’t cut defense.
Ability: Flash fire.
Moves: Smog, Shadow Ball, Calm Mind, and Substitute.
The TRs needed can be obtained legit via watt traders but I once again got them off my completed save.
I’m a little stumped on Alister so I may take a break for a day or two.
So, yeah.
