I had faced a similar issue. Read somewhere that you can get the Squirtle in rain in EP18 (didn't know it before)
Saved just outside the area, loaded and reentered the area. Bam! Squirtle right in front of me. Guess that should work for you too
@Salad Table You can go to one of the caves in the Rhodocrine jungle where you find lvl 60 Swoobats in those spots (for speed EVs)
Likewise for Sp. Atk, you can catch a train to the desert to fight Alolan Exeggcutor
I kinda skipped the 3rd gym. Faced no issues until I had to use surf for the first time in terajuma jungle (after beating 5th gym).. It tells me I need a new badge. I'm stuck! Can't go back either
