You know the thing with Noel was pretty much speed, to gt rid of cinccino and swellow because of their good abilities. Its difficult to stay alive after a hit from those two. Oh And a good attack for obvious reasons. I've got this things in my first team (Crobat,Alakazam,...) Florina was such an easy target with my starter Chimchar which by that time was already Monferno so... Now with my first team: Gyarados(without raindance... i know i should have had it), Gardevoir, Infernape,Vanilluxe,Crobat,Electivire Steelix and Alakazam and with no other good water or Rock type Pokemon except Golem which is the third team of mine i couldn't have many chances... Thats why i had some probs at the first two times. I also overgrined my first team (everyone was 70 Lvl). I suppose i could have bring out myUmbreon Blissey Gengar Golem combination for hypnosis confuse rays dreameating earthquaking and healing but when i saw the double battle i thought.... PERISH SONG and i just wanted to beat a fire type with Ice so....!!!
