Current location: Saved outside Glittering Cave, just caught Mawile and have to ST it, then go back for Ferroseed. Current team:
L22 Lucario "Lilly" - Docile nature, Steadfast, maxed Attack, rest split between Speed and SA. Moves: Return, Quick Attack, Power-Up Punch, Bulldoze
L22 Honedge "Trina" - Brave nature, maxed Attack and Speed (for whatever that's worth). Moves: Rock Smash, Aerial Ace, Shadow Sneak, Pursuit
L15 Mawile "HelloInsertNameHere", female, Hasty (+Speed-Def), Intimidate, will max Attack and Speed. Moves: Whatever Mawile comes with, except sub Astonish for Rock Smash
It took about twenty minutes on the 8th soft reset to find Riolu, train it up, happy it up and evolve it - I actually did all but the last bit last night but had no Gym progress to report. It took a lot of skating that loop from the restaurant in Santalune to the first turn on Route 22 to get the happiness up to the point that it would evolve... but it was worth it when Lilly no-sold Infestation in the gym and wiped out Vivilion with two Quick Attacks.
After that, it was the mandatory skating session to route 6 to get Trina, which in itself took about ten soft resets before I got one I was happy with (or could put up with). Got it STed through the new method, and leveled it up with the trainers I bypassed starting on Rt 22 and going all the way up to 6.
That double Furfrou fight is quite satisfying when you have one Pokemon that's SE against Normal wasting them with type bonus moves while the other Pokemon can't touch it, actually. Shame I won't have Honedge again after this, it's quickly becoming a favourite of mine.
In the grand victory for irony, I actually managed to catch Snorlax on a Quick Ball. Heh.
After running the Route 8 complex, we hit Glittering Cave and only had to loop the route once before we got a Mawile, and it was an easy catch this time. Still have to ST it, but then we get to Ferroseed... and I suspect I'll be using that Rocky Helmet I just picked up on Route 9 for maximum trolling.
