Oh. My. God. She's done. Her Froslass was gonna finish it all in the last turn and her Blizzard for once missed, BOTH pokemon. I cannot tell you how glad I am that that nightmare is over.

Two freezes in one battle followed by an instant freeze in the next. I'm honestly going to hang this game up very soon.

Competitively, as she plays, Ice is actually a really strong typing. Coupled with Walrein she has her type disadvantage against fire cut. So unless you happen to have gotten the vulpix from way earlier in the game - I didn't as I don't like Vulpix - then there's not much to do. Also bare in mind that numerous pokemon in her team are actually coupled with Snow Cloak AND BrightPowder that raises their evasion even when Hail has left the screen. Coupled with that, her pokemon are fast and hard hitting with a variety of speed reducing moves. So really - she isn't all that easy, and that's the point of her.

So I need to go back in the game and train these pokemon upto level 50 to stand a chance at beating Serra? Christ. I understand that Blizzard has a low accuracy - I run a hail team myself. It's just hard to believe when you fight battles in which it doesn't seem to miss, even with Rain Dance up.

And then there's the problem of Froslass, who can't be outsped by 'anything' on my team - even after two DD from my Gyarados... This is one of those leaders that I genuinely think 'stuff it' I have better things to do.

So after playing for hours straight I've hit a brick wall. Forget Aya and this nonsense about her being hard to beat - Serra is an actual nightmare. 100% accurate blizzard - even with Rain Dance in effect... 100% accurate moves missing more often than hitting - not in hail... Is there something I'm missing here? The only things I can think of are that her Mamoswine AND Glaceon both have brightpowder attached... But then it's nigh on impossible to trick them both away when their Blizzards are still hitting both pokemon every turn... There's no let up! Help!!

So Yamask is only found inside the gym itself? Gastly sounds like a better option then... What sorts of levels are they in the wild?

When I get my game working, I'm hoping to find a Yamask. I've come across two areas on YouTube and using the pokemon location guide here I'm a bit confused. Is Yamask found in the abandoned factory, or the abandoned power plant? If the latter, where? There's the cave with Croagunk inside, but then there's only the gym... I'm aware this is farther on in my game and I need to get started first, but I'm set on a ghost type and I'm not sure whether I can wait for the Bysydysjfns lands where Aya resides for Gastly and Misdreavus.
