Current location: Dendemille Town, visited the Returner.
Current team (L44):
Rude - Low Sweep, Seed Bomb, Dig, Rock Tomb
Anderson - Aura Sphere, Metal Claw, Shadow Claw, Dragon Pulse
Zbyszko - High Jump Kick, Crunch, Poison Jab, Rock Tomb
Austin - High Jump Kick, Zen Headbutt, Fire Punch, Thunder Punch
Eaton - High Jump Kick, Fly, X-Scissor, Rock Tomb
and newcomer Dangerously the Poliwrath (Modest, Damp, SA/Speed) - Low Sweep, Surf, Mud Shot, Poison Jab
We picked up in Lumiose, grabbed a few extra items for the road and had our third rival fight to open. The Cruncher (Zbyszko) took out the two Psychics on the team to earn a much needed evolution, and then it was up Route 14 to find Poli Dangerously.
Thankfully, we found a quality Poliwhirl fishing on about the 4th try - only complaint is no Water Absorb, but I can deal. Also, it helped that Dangerously came at L35, so it only took a few rounds in the Laverre Gym to get him caught up.
As for Valerie herself... turns out Adamant and Poison Jab does mean you can sweep Valerie with a Pokemon 4x weak to Fairy. The Speed+ O-Power saved him from using an X-Speed, allowing High Jump Kick to OHKO Mawile for a Moxie +1, then two Poison Jabs put down Mr Mime for the duke.
After the Poke Ball factory, we went to Route 15 and I decided to clear the 15 and 16 areas before going into Dendemille. There were no problems there, and the team got to L44 right as 16 ended. Back in Dendemille, it took all of the Heart Scale supply to get Anderson and Austin outfitted, but we're ready to go for tomorrow.
Tomorrow's goal: At least get past the Flare event.
