Current location: Saved in Dendemille Town, packing six badges, team is L40-L41. And it is as follows:
Viscous - Grass Pledge, Venoshock, Nature Power, Rock Smash
Tree - Poison Jab, Low Sweep, Dig, Strength
Corrosive - Fly, Cross Poison, X-Scissor, Thief
Neuro - Bulldoze, Poison Jab, Shadow Claw, Thunderbolt
Thallium - Surf, Venoshock, Dazzling Gleam, Infestation
And the newest member... "D.D.T" the Drapion, (Naughty, Battle Armor) Night Slash, Poison Jab, Ice Fang, Fire Fang
Since I didn't get a chance to update last night, have a 2 in 1.
Day 3
First things first: Super Train Thallium. Once that's done, find out that it's a Slow Exp growth Pokemon... throw the Lucky Egg at it and send it onto the Route 12 complex for a round of Grind the Jellyfish.
I hit Courmarine, head to the gym, and I quickly have a Tentacruel evolution and a much needed SA boost. Ramos was quite easy, although the team's weakness to Flying was becoming an issue, Tentacruel tanked Acrobatics long enough to OHKO with Venoshock, same with Gogoat, and Crobat finished Weepinbell with Fly.
Route 13: Still a PITA.
Team Flare: Nice to have a bunch of guys that resist Poison this time, tunnel is easy. I've got the Exp Share on in anticipation of going from the low to the high 30s for Clemont, so by the time the Power Plant is done I've almost got Tree up to Toxicroak.
Clemont: It takes two floors before I decide "heck with this" and give Scolipede the Bulldoze it's needed for about a gym and a half. Successfully manage to troll the Emolga with Crobat, Neuro's sweep is stopped by Sturdy, but it's able to get rid of Magneton and Tree (now a Toxicroak) sweep Heliolisk into next month. 5 badges and Thunderbolt!
Day 4
Today's objective: Cream Rival (done, thank you X-Scissor wiping out Meowstic who doesn't have Psychic moves in one hit), then get to Drapion because Skorupi sucks.
In the process, I manage to catch a Modest Haunter. Where the hell was THAT two runs ago?
I do finally get an Attack+ Skorupi and switched up my Super Training slightly - instead of letting the bags build up I switched back and forth. It seemed to work, since I got 10 straight Attack L bags at one point.
In an attempt to have Skorupi pick on things its own size, I heard there were loose trainers around Lumiose so I skate around like an idiot trying to find them. Only one I missed was Kirila dude, but I may use those before the Gym in future runs. Also got a second Destiny Knot for some reason...
Route 14: Easy peasy, but there's not enough trainers on the route to get Skorupi to 40. To the gym, where he makes it to 39 before going down at the hands of that fiend Mr Mime. (He had Dig at that point and Mawile isn't an Intimidator, so Dig was a two-shot). Thallium finishes Sylveon and we have badge 6 - and Thallium has Dazzling Gleam, so I'm no longer totally screwed by Dragons.
After the Poke Ball factory and Route 15, I actually managed to run out of Heart Scales (never did go back for a fresh set) getting D.D.T his Fangs and Cross Poison onto Corrision for a second STAB. And here we are.
Still not sure what's going to happen with the Ice run's 6th slot, but I am leaning more toward Beartic and damn what happens with the MGarde. If I want something slow I'll just use Mega-Aboma.
