Thanks, luck, that's exactly what i'll need....
Well, i reached Goldenrod, gave my Unowns some stupid nicknames so i can distinguish them better. Replaced my Water Unown by another Water Unown, because my first Water Unown's Hidden Power had a horrible Base Power, i didnt notice that before because i only used it against Geodudes, Onixes and Sandshrews. Grinded to Level 22 and attempted Whitney.
Started off with Hippie, the Grass Unown, it has a pretty high Base Power and i wanted to save my Fighting Unown for later. Clefairy was piece of Cake. A crit did even 2/3 to Miltank. Hippie died, and many others of my team died too, i hate Rollout. Hydrant the Water Unown did some damage, but not much. At the end, only Psychopath the Psychic Unown was left. I was lucky that Rollout missed and HP Psychic did enough damage to kill Miltank.
Sudowoodo will be the next miniboss, it won't be that hard, since Grass is one of my better Unowns.

:t201-h: Hydrant / Water Unown Lv. 22
UPDATE:
Sudowoodo wasn't much of a problem, Hippie 2HKOd it and even the Eeveelution Girls were not that hard, not even Umbreon. Rival was easy anyway, since my team is ironically a lot better against well-balanced teams than against monotype teams.
But that wasn't everything, i was even already having the opportunity to say something like:
"Im so awesome, i beat Morty", in fact took me only 2 Attempts and that at level 26!
On my first attempt i wanted to get rid of the Gastly and the first Haunter with Psychopath, but Psychopath got paralyzed and KOd by Gengar. Rest of the team was helpless against Shadow Ball, but it didn't OHKO my other Unowns that were at full HP.
Second attempt: Started with Hydrant, which also managed to kill Gastly and Haunter, and also fainted against Gengar. Psychopath came in, survived, got a crit. Gengar had a minimum of HP left, Rockstar defeated it. The second Haunter killed Rockstar, killed Polaris and had maybe 1/3 or 1/4 left. I switched in Barbarian, hoping that that thing was stupid and uses Curse, which did of course not happen (but at least i felt better than if my last Pokemon would have been Barbarian). But Hippie, my last Unown, managed to defeat Haunter somehow, even though Haunter resists Grass.
That battle was a lot easier than i would have ever dreamed of (ok, ok, i got extremely lucky with that crit, again, but...). Hopefully Karen will be similary easy, but i'm pretty sure that won't happen...
Unowns are all level 26, Hippie is 27, it was already almost 27 when i challenged Morty.

I attempted Chuck with my Unowns in the high 20s and lost. Went back to the ruins and catched a new Ice and Fighting Unown, the old ones were too weak. The new Barbarian is definetely better, about the new Polaris, i don't know, didn't use it a lot yet.

Yes, i did unlock more Unown forms, for more diversity in the team
But i failed to solve the Charizard puzzle, maybe i'll try again later
_______________________
That thing i thought of to be a Charizard turned out to be Omanyte, no wonder i couldn't solve it. But i'm pretty sure some years ago i read that the puzzles show Kabuto, Aerodactyl, Ho-oh and Charizard...
Caught two more Unowns afterwards, another Ice one (but the second one turned ot to be the best), and a new Rock Unown (that has the same form like the old one), old Rockstar was pretty decent, but the new one is slightly better. Did a lot of grinding. Beat Chuck, he was easy with the new, better Unowns. Probably i'm gonna find a new Psychopath too, since, with STAB, it only does slightly more than Hippie or Barbarian, the strongest ones, on a neutral hit. Beat Red Gyarados (After 2 Dragon Rages Rockstar had 1 HP left, whew...), beat Rockets (the Murkrow wasn't able to cause problems, either Rockstar or Polaris OHKOd it.) and beat Pryce, with ease, since he is probably the weakest gym leader ever. Saved.
Both battles were not as epic as the ones above, so no screenshots.

OMG Jasmine was so easy, Barbarian OHKOd both Magnemites, took of 2/3 of Steelix HP (one normal hit, one crit), died, Hydrant came in and destroyed the weakened Steelix. ...and with balanced teams i was always having huge problems with her, why?
Still no one? Well, i beat my rival in Goldenrod now. I have already been at Blackthorne and defeating trainers on that annoying Route south of Blackthorne. Caught a new Psychic Unown and it's incredibly powerful, the base power must be around 70, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to OHKO a level 7 Bellsprout at Level 5, at least if my calculations are right. New Psychopath had no problems with the Koffing guy, but my rival's Golbat and Haunter completely destroyed my Unown team, at the end only Rockstar was left, survived with low HP and it defeated Haunter. I'm already asking myself how long i will have to grind to defeat that guy with the Houndoom...
UPDATE: The Houndoom needed some attempts to be beaten, but with Quick Claw on Barbarian and Hydrant surviving one attack, i was able to defeat it.
Before entering Clair's gym, i first grinded to level 40. Beat the underlingas quite easily, mostly using Polaris and Hippie, but i needed 3 attempts for Clair herself. Polaris was able to take of the first two Dragonairs, against the third one, i sent out either Rockstar or Barbarian, since the other two are resisted and i needed Psychopath against Kingdra since it's my best damage dealer. At the end of both of the first two attempts, Kingdra had just maybe 5% HP left, in the 3rd attempt, i had maybe one attack less missing, or a Hyper Beam from Kingdra missing, i'm not really sure about that, but i won. Next i'll have to decide who i'm going to deposit for they way to the Indigo Plateau, since i'll need my Slave to get there. Probably i'll deposit Hydrant for that time, since there are a lot of water trainers on the way, and it doesnt cover any of my rivals Pokemon (argh, i'll meet that annoying Golbat and Haunter AGAIN....)

I think my team can stay like this now, all my current Unowns have Powers between quite decent and extremely good
And yes, i know that the Blackbelt and Hard Stone items are not 'legit' and i changed to date to obtain them, but i wasn't in the mood of waiting to get them
