It so suprising that I haven't posted in my blog in a long time. I think it's time to update it with a Heart Gold entry. (gasp)

So, today, I defeated Morty. He proved to be quite a challenge but I was up for it. He started off by sending out his Gastly while I sent out Yanma. I knew Yanma was at a type disadvantage, however, I wanted it to gain some experience so I quickly switched it out and replaced it with my Croconaw - who dealt with it using Bite.

Next, he sent out his Gengar and I responded by sending out Yanma again - experience is good. I quickly switched back to Croconaw and he uses Shadow Ball. It hit hard, taking Croconaw's HP down to the yellows and reducing my special defence. I knew it was done for and I couldn't afford a Shadow Ball critical hit if I switched Pokemon, so I let Croconaw take the hit. With the score at 1-1, I decided to bring in my newly evolved Crobat. It OHKO'd the Gengar with three bites - two bites took it down to red and then he used a hyper potion - the third was a critical hit, yay.

Finally, he brought out his last Pokemon - another Haunter. I decided to bring out Gastly to see how strong it really is. He starts off with Sucker Punch but I used Hypnosis so it failed. Once his Haunter fell asleep, I used Confuse Ray to really annoy him. It woke up on the third go and use curse. Oh noes. D: However, I got lucky and it hurt itself twice due to confusion. Then, I finished off with Night Shade. Game, set, match.

Forgive my ignorance, but how is Yanma at a type disadvantage against Gastly? An offensive disadvantage, maybe, but only because Poison resists Bug. You should have been OK.

To be fair, Whisper, Yanma has quite the pathetic movepool early on, thus making it hard to do much in battle anyway. So it's understandable that it didn't do much here. (it learns something non-normal/fighting at LEVEL 30, aka Pursuit)

@Whisper: Refer to BeachBoy's post. It doesn't have a great movepool and I was trying to get it's level up. XD;

@BeachBoy: SPOILERS ARE GOOD.
