The reason I EXR-ed V Thorton was that I don’t believe these 2 remaining solos can be done without it.
– As for Regirock, Thorton doesn’t do enough damage in Bar 3 and would die to its sync so regardless of how many TMs you get, it’s just not possible and he really needs to do more damage. He also struggles to skip Iron Def during Bar 2 for the same reason.
– As for Uxie, again, lacking in damage is a major hindrance. Especially when you can’t flinch either of these 2 Pokemons (Bar 2 & 3 for Regirock), everything is a damage rush.
Now about these clears.
0:00 – v Regirock
Make use of your TMs if you’re able to get more than 1, get to +6 spa if possible. More damage will help with rushing through Bar 2 quickly to stop Iron Def from ever going up. Obviously you need to flinch Bar 1 Iron Def as well. Iron Def did go up in my run as I was flinched by Bar 2 Rock Slide. However I did get the flinch I needed to prevent the second Iron Def, and the first one would expire very early going into Bar 3, giving me an easier time to clean up, although it was really tight. An ideal scenario would be Regirock flinching just before it uses the first Iron Def in Bar 2, but I’m not doing this solo again lol.

03:06 – v Uxie
I don’t wanna reset for both early para and TM MPR AT THE SAME TIME so I picked up HE2 while switching to CS2. With 90% para chance and the damage boost from CS2, you can actually skip Iron Tail by instaqueuing, saving Thorton some HP going into the later bars. TMs are used mostly for damage because more Endure doesn’t exactly help if Uxie syncs anyway. I saved 1 TM just in case but ended up not needing it.

My skill gears (shown in vid) are quite good so I’m not sure if they matter that much, as both of these solos are really close.
Now that all V Thorton solos have been reduced to 3/5, I hope it’s easier for people to replicate them, I personally think they are all practical in the context of gauntlet.
