After grinding Medusa (and the Slave Zigzagoon to evolve so it can learn Strength) to level 16, I decided to challenge Brawly
Missed screenshot, but I managed to defeat Brawly after inducing Burn to everything and just Roaring the heck out of it so his Bulk Ups don't stack. Seriously. A move that raises Atk and Def in a generation where I can't differentiate between Special and Physical types is driving me nuts.
Temporary has degraded into an HM slave as well! Poor little fella.
And so we enter the Granite Cave. Here I'm hoping to score an Abra just because it's rare. Yeah, I'm that type of person.
Maybe this is a bad choice for me (since Supersonic has a measly 55 accuracy. HOW DO ZUBATS DO IT?), but it's not like I need confusion after I reduced their attack stat. :/
Reached Steven after nearly having Medusa killed because of the Sableyes. Handed him the letter, providing me access to Slateport.
Reached Slateport. I immediately went up to Route 110 to catch an Electrike. Not even sure what this name means.
Went back to Slateport. Handed him the Devon Goods. Maybe I'll backtrack for the Exp. Share, but nah. The traditional way is good too.
Encountered Brendan on my way to Mauville. Apparently he traded away his Marill to nab a Marshtomp. Dang, now all three of my party are weak to its Ground-type moves. Good thing I used the burn and confuse strategy. It was a fight I barely could've won (because his Shroomish paralyzed everyone >_>).
Picked up the Bike. I'll probably cruise the Cycling Road for some exp. later.
Cleared my way into Mauville Gym first. Rakurai did everything himself. :3
At route 117 I went and caught my 4th member: Marill. I know my challenge results mentions Azurill instead, but what were you expecting?
And a mere 5 levels later, he evolved into Azumarill. Well, that was fast
Currently going to go up against Wattson. But first... I think I should grind again. That Self-destructing Voltorb is ruining everything. >_>
