I mean, limiting oneself to just 6 is an uncommon thing to do around these parts in the first place, so...

Well, yes, but it's *the second gym* lmao. I've mostly whittled it down, though.

-Marshtomp, the starter, the tank, literally hit the cap before DR Galvantula

-Dusk-Lycanroc, who from what I gather is kinda typical but I'm still excited to use it. Might get swapped out for the fight, depending on whether Tough Claws+Thrash OHKOs anybody

-Shuppet, fighting immunity, will-o-wisp, may see use against the meditite/Cham that I'm guessing Keta has. Episode one knock off was really fun, I loved getting Shuppet this early. He's getting dumped for misdreavus.

-Meditite, Pure Power, anti-fighting fight-type.

-Vivillion, the absolute hero and last mon standing against Nim. Will get rotated someday, but today is not that day.

-Charjabug, resists fighting, knows acrobatics.

On the bench is Pikachu (For A-Raichu for water fields) and Swablu (as a replacement flying-type/status spreader that's eating all my heart scales -_-)

If you choose to get the EXP-all eventually, just six mons will definitely be at the level cap again in a few battles.  You definitely aren't too spoiled for choice after the first gym, even knowing better mons are on the horizon.

I used Medicham and Vivillion until the end of Ep 10's story (in my first save which stopped in Ep10) with Medicham being the main MVP of that file, and D-Lycanroc is one of my most consistently performing Pokemon in my Ep 11/12 save,    so it's perfectly possible to be keeping them for quite a while.
