Alright beat Taka and Zel as well as Corey, Mannaged to beat Taka and Zel first try but wa really close. Only Trapinch ( and my HM slave) survived with 6 HP at the end. Corey was surprisingly difficult and had to fight him 3 times. Should have bought those Pecha berries and caught a Phanpy but oh well. Diggersby beat his Skrepl with take down but succumbed to poison. Trappinch took care of Croagunk and dies to Skuntank (Appearently if you kill yourself and send out a Pokemon you don´t get poisoned immediately). Used Flame Burst with Numel too beat Skuntank and taken care of the field. Thinking he would send out either Grimer or Nidorina I send out Grotle. He sends out Crobat and one Shotted Grotle which leaves me only with Onix and three of his Pokemon. He switched to his Grimer which luckily didn´t spam Mud Bomb. After this he sends out Nidorina who spamed most of the time Venom Drench for whatever reason and sometimes Double Kick. Set up Stealth Rocks and a few Curses and beat his Nidorina and Crobat with Onix. For anyone wondering: I´m playing on Set Mode the whole time. so no switching out if I beat a Pokemon.

Probably Shades Gym right?

Beat Taka who was really hard because Pulse Tangrowth pretty much kills every Ground Pokemon. Had to level Numel to 22 and let it learn Lavaplume so I would stand a chance. Started the fight with Onix to let it set up Stealth Rocks and beat his Lilieep and Tangrowth with Numel and Chatot with Onix. Got Lucky his Tangrowth got burned otherwise Vine Whip would have killed it in 2 hits. Next fight will be Taka and ZEL double battle. I´m scared.

Make maybe an exception with Ditto.

Just wait there for a few ingame minutes.

I thought Ame fixed the event so it appears only after Florinia Edit: Just tested it. No Numel there . Gonna do a few tries otherwise I cancel this run. Edit 2: Oh well just beat her and it was actually not bad. If I would use my Super Potion I would have probably even do it in one try. After setting up 6 Curses I swept her Team. Got lucky Grotle disobeyed me only one time though. Also Shell Armor is awesome. Critical Pin missle would have probably killed Grotle. I also think Burmy should get Sand Cloak on the desert field.

I tried it already but it still was Trash cloak so I have to find a way to beat her with this Team: Grotle Onix Trappinch Level 25 Level 25 Level 24 Shell Armor Sturdy Hyper Cutter Rose Incense Absorb Rock Tomb Sand Tomb Curse Stealth Rocks Faint Razor Leaf Smack Down Bulldoze Bite Curse Bide

Well Florinia´s Maractus wrecks my whole team and I did catch a Burmy. So where do I train to get Sandy Cloak?

ZEL´s Tangrowth is the devil because it 2hko´s my Grotle and Onix doesn´t do to much damage to it. Only beat it after 3 tries because he used Growth like 4 times after using Acid Spray and I got a few Flinch Hax with Bite. Glad Ame didn´t improve the A.I already as it would be pretty much impossible. Also the Field damage is ridiculous as it does twice as much damage as stealth rocks. My Onix also didn´t learn Gyro Ball at level 20 for some reason.

I was thinking of something like that but Flygon kinda sucks so I will probably replace it and keep Torterra to compensate for my water weakness.

I´m not sure. Depends on the situation but I will worry about this later .

I was thinking on doing a Bug Monotype but then I realized no one did a Ground Monotype and here I am. As there are only two starter Pokemon who evolve to a ground type and no other Pokemon before Julia I decided on Turtwig because I already choosed Mudkip on my main save. Had to use 2 Common Candies before Julia otherwise I would probably have lose the fight. After 2 Curses even her Emolga couldn´t really harm me. Still was pretty close and I even had to use a potion to not risk dying to Sonic Boom. If I would have bothered I could get a Burmy and let it evolve to Wormadam but oh well.

You don´t even need to beat the Gym Leader, just beat Fern on route 1 and the rock becomes breakable.

Wait, Ame took out the Brightpowders ? Never realised it-

My tactic in this fight is usually to start of the fight with something with leech seed and use it on her muk. After this I switch to Venomoth and use Quiver Dance 6 times. Then proceed to sweep her team and beat her muk at the end. Might take a long time because of Confuse ray and disable but after 2 Quiver Dance you are pretty much invincible against her first two pokemon thanks to leech seed (even more so with big root). Also Fern has a Krokorock with Moxie and a Ferrothorn so its totally possible for him to beat her.

Well now i´m intrigued to do a Bug Monotype myself. Also Kricketune still wrecks Florinia.

Intimidate is useless as his Crobat has only Special moves. Glare on the other hand is really usefull and with stockpile it can even tank hits.

Well you should take something with Gust/Defog/whirlwind with you to eliminate his field. You could also get a Emolga to take care of his Crobat.

Other usefu Pokemon: Trubbish - With access to Toxic Spikes at level 7 it´s a godsend until the battle with Florina. Kricketune - With Technician and Fury Cutter it completely shits on Florinia Team. Venomoth - Access to Quiver Dance through the Move Relearner this thing is really great and it´s the earliest Pokemon you can get who laughs at Aya.

Get a Ducklett. You get it from those Guys who gave you a Magikarp before.

I would really like gates between the gates to reduce lags. Even more so because the lags only got worse since the recent episode. About the VS Seeker: Well if you put Trainer who rechallenge you every day you could as well put the VS Seeker in the game. Maybe at the Agate Circus because of the point of no return there.

The last time we thought Bennet he didnt evolve his Larvesta so its pretty much a given he fight us one last time.

What´s the point of him getting all the badges then?

After Luna gets kidnapped and shortly before Cain and EL fight each other Cain tells EL that he is one of the Elite. He doesn´t say Elite 4 but yeah I think it´s pretty much confirmed.

Well I didn´t have that much of a problem with the puzzle. Although it was really frustating the the perspective of those Crustle sprites doesn´t fit with the perspective of the rocks and I had to reload my save (faster than waking up the Crustle, beating it and putting it asleep again) everytime the crustle got stuck because of the perspective.
