So I'm planning to do a ground monorun on Rejuvenation whithout ever having completed the main episode/version (I actually only played years ago until the fire gym), am I crazy or what
There might not be enough before the first gym, since all I've seen is mudkip as a starter, and marshtomp's stab ground moves become part poison on Venam's field. If that's not a problem somehow then idk.
I can't believe I didn't think of Nidoran, since he's right there on the pier. That actually looks like a solid start to the run, with magnitude for Venam and two Poison types for Keta. Good luck on your run!
