Aw man, I was just thinking how nice it was not having to worry about my Pokemon fainting. Now I needed to be careful.Energy Leak - For the next segment, every time a Pokémon faints, it loses 5 levels from its level limit.
In this case this rule is in effect until you get Badge 2.
I really needed Vespiqueen for the 2nd gym, so I had to make sure it didn't faint twice or I wouldn't get it, preferably not faint at all.
Gym 2 Defeated
I had a few close calls with Queen getting real close to fainting, even got to 1HP at one point.
The new rule made it more intense, but ultimately didn't change anything since no one fainted.
Queen swept the 2nd gym no problems, but the lvl 20 Haryiama did scare me for a bit because I know it could've had a rock move. Hopefully I can keep Marshtomp for gym 3, but he'll be severely underlevelled.
