Yeah, I thought about it, but I decided I wanted to use the original Raticate, as he is the true ancestor of all the rodents. Most of them learn Crunch and, even though a stab dark move could have been handy, I decided to stick with the original decision and try, even though I think it will be really difficult ahah
In the end, I decided to sacrifice alola, even though I might add one team member later (Gumshoos or, exceptionally, Alolan Raticate).
I also decided not to get perfect ivs rodents, settling for decent ivs and a good nature only. I'm still uncertain about ev-training. Might even do a mixup, but I feel the real challenge would be to play it like a standard run, without ev training.
About Bibarel, in your opinion, moody or simple?
