Ice Day 5: You Have Selected "Power Grind"

Current location: Refreshing the Battle Chateau so I can build up some of dat money money, yeah yeah. Current team has L46 for Byakuya (who picked up Frost Breath over Aurora Beam) and Kyoko, L45 for Chihiro (now a Mamoswine, Rock Tomb in play), Monokuma and Asahina (who alsoh has Frost Breath). The 6th member is Hakagure the Abomasnow, L41 and actually not holding Abomasite yet (see: money money) with Ice Punch, Ice Shard, Wood Hammer and Rock Tomb.

Running 15/16/Frost Cavern to catch the new 3 up wasn't too bad, though I did have to use a few Ethers as I was running out of PP for key moves such as Dig. Chihiro got way stronger there especially by evolving and taking a few levels in badass.

The fun part (air quotes) was Frost Cavern, discovering that Honey does work in caves, and getting nearly wiped by a Brains and Brawn->Black Belt->Battle Girl triple shot. As I said on Twitter during the course of the day... GameFreak, for the love of Goddish make Snorunt available prior to Friend Safari (preferably as close to Route 8 as possible with an accessible Dawn Stone) so I can use Froslass in future runs and not have to worry about this.

After Frost Cavern was cleaned out and Frost Breath obtained - amazingly, I don't think I've actually used it yet - it was down to Route 17 for Snover harvesting. And after a few soft resets I finally came down with a good (enough) Snover - Naughty, mind, but still usable. Went broke again doping it up on cat drugs, and had to use a few Rare Candies/go through another round of ST, but it's now ready to rock and I'm punting the Battle Chateau in the vain hope that it can get at least to 44 before Olympia. I just made Earl, so we'll see how that goes.

Tomorrow is all about getting through gym 7 and Team Flare, if I somehow manage to get to say, Snowbelle I'll call it a massive win. Or it will have been absolutely dead at work.
