Quick secondary update before I go to bed. Yes, I know, it's like 4 in the morning and I should've gone to bed about 2 hours ago. I got distracted. lol
At any rate, I went through route 22 to level up through trainer battles. Other than that, I've mostly been grinding in the grass (which incidentally, is also helping me fill up my Pokedex).
Lilo & Sernin evolved!
Lilo is currently at lvl 17, knowing moves Mist, Fury Swipes, Absorb, and Nature Power. I find Nature power to be a really interesting move and am unsure why it's listed as a Normal type rather than a grass type move. Lilo also knows Rain Dish and is evolved into Lombre.
Sernin is at lvl 20 (yay! 2/3rds of the way to level 30!) and knows Leaf Tornado, Leech Seed, Vine Whip and Wrap. Wrap is one of the best moves to use in the beginning of an encounter, but only if you plan to keep the Pokemon in the battle for more than one or two turns. Sernin has evolved into Servine and I'm quickly falling in love with ALL of Seperior's evolutions. Snive is really beginning to be my favorite Pokemon as a whole. Ugh, how do I decide? I'd like to build a team with Sernin, Bulba & Leafeon one day but that's another play through... Sernin also knows Contrary, which makes stat changes have opposite effects. Which is convent.
The others haven't changed much. Fee is still Snover and I really enjoy using him as my last-chance type of Pokemon with his Snow warning. I dislike mist, although it's useful in group battles. Powder Snow is my favorite ice attack while I enjoy using Razor Leaf as the grass attack.
Pumpia is still Pumpkaboo at level 10 and kinda useless save for one or two moves. I use confuse ray the most, but I have the feeling she'll come in handy more later on in battle.
Mane is still Chespin, at level 11 and knows bite, growl, rollout and vine whip. I enjoy learning how to use Rollout the most, with Vine Whip being my close second go-to.
Foonias is still Fungus, but Effect Spore has come in handy a lot. At level 10, Foonias knows 3 moves (absorb, growth, and astonish).
I'm not really sure why these Pokemon are able to learn ghost moves, when only one is a ghost-type Pokemon. Chespin's ability to learn bite really confused me too. They were all bred with the same Ditto so I'm not really sure whats going on? Either way, it creates interesting interactions.
I'll be playing throughout the week, but big updates likely won't happen until next week on Tuesday & Wednesday (my days off). Happy challenge guys! I wish you the best of luck! I'll still be checking in, so feel free to post questions or updates as you go through the different stages. I'm still currently on stage 2!
