IIRC somebody beat the Elite Four using a Lv. 1 Roggenrola (Sturdy), a Rocky Helmet (counter damage), and 200+ potions.
Does the E4's entire moveset not contain a single multi-hit attack?

Depends on the game? I could be wrong, but I think Koga's Forretress knows Pin Missile. And Spikes, which could shut that strategy down as well. I wouldn't be surprised if one of Bruno's team knew Double Hit, or one of Drake's team knew Double Claw.

Even if it had the move it'd probably just do something stupid instead.

Because this is Pokemon's AI... which is more or less just an RNG roll.

It was OR/AS, I think—I vaguely remember a "200 potions" joke.

edit: found it — it was actually two Pokemon

Not sure if you meant both links to go to the same place, but here is Episode 2.  They're being put out on the official Pokemon channel here.

Wat?

Who on earth says that? Snorlax has always been considered pretty good.

It's flexible, powerful, and tanky with great typing and abilities.

Snorlax is very versatile indeed! His only real drawback is his lowish defense, but if you remove his usual checks he can fulfill a number of roles; he can be a phazer with Whirlwind to throw the opponents into hazards, he can do a simple Curse set (not held back by the fact that his speed is rock bottom anyway), a Rest/Talk set, maybe even ChestoRest if you're feeling crazy.

Heck, slap an Assault Vest on him and have him go all out attack. Take that titanic special defense and make it even higher.

Ya, one of my most memorable battles was when my opponent saw I had two Pokemon left and both were special attackers.

He sent out the snorlax. Amnesia.

I cried.

New trailer focusing on version exclusives

Passimian: Sun version. Fighting type. It's ability Reciever lets it copy its partner's ability after they faint in a double battle
Oranguru: Moon version. Normal/Psychic. Ability Inner Focus/Telepathy. Has the move Instruct, which lets it give up its move that turn to have its double battle partner use it's most recently used move an extra second time instead. The wording raises some interesting questions about how it interacts with turn order and priority. Also you are now imagining it teaming up with Mega Kangaskhan ._.
Lougarougan renamed to Lycanroc. Its forms confirmed to be version exclusives
Shows off the expanded customization system and the new version of Amie which is called Pokemon Refresh and is themed around grooming. It can be used to manually cure status effects.
Pikachu and Eevee have exclusive Z moves Catastropika and Extreme Evoboost. Catastropika is just another damage dealing move (though it raises some questions about the amount of legal interference a trainer can do in a pokemon battle since it involves you chucking your Pikachu at the enemy :P) while Extreme Evoboost is a non damaging move that boosts all its stats by two stages. Also it's kinda amazing. Never knew Eevees could be so sassy/smug

New meta: Eevees with Baton Pass. Annoy the fuck out of your opponent with a two-minute animation, then switch out ASAP because Eevee has shit stats.

Oh man Oranguru looks like a total badass. I'm going to need one of you Moon guys to trade me one when the game comes out.

Ah.  I want Moon, but I also want Midday Lycanroc.  Decisions, decisions.
