His Shiny Charizard was definitely going to be at Elite stage when he left too. Lapras had no evolution, but it would be nearing the peak of the Veteran stage and be pretty strong by then. Happiny's energy compression method would be effective for another year. He then would need an Oval Stone of good quality to successfully evolve it. And he would depart with a pretty strong team of a level 55 or so Magneton or Magnezon, a level 50 or so Shiny Charizard, a level 45 or so Lapras, and a level 40 Chansey. 3 battlers and one healer plus support. He could also get a couple of weaker Pokemon from the ranch to train. Alex had his eye on Ghastly and Machop for this.
