This might sound really dumb, but is it weird that I, like... Can't pass the first gym? I had no problem in my episode 16 file, but for some reason in this file Julia is just super hard to beat. I did really well once and then the last enemy took out 3 of my pokemon, not to mention the multiple self destructs just instantly wiping my full health pokemon, or the fact oricorio seems to do 10x more damage with air cutter than my bite does, and it's 5 levels below me.
Am I doing something wrong? I, for one, am I a little frustrated due to the annoying level 20 cap and then that my pokemon aren't really doing anything. My team right now is:
Litten: Lvl 14 (I could probably level him more but wasn't too religious about it due to the fact I didn't want to pass 20)
Teddiursa: Lvl 19 (Brought from save game)
Meowth: Lvl 19
Poochyena: Lvl 17
Espurr: Lvl 16
Gulpin: Lvl 11
Also, I have Pokerus, so it should be adding double efforts to ev's and such if I'm understanding correctly.
