Current location: Ambrette Town Pokemon Center, though I skipped ahead to grab a full team. Currently, we have Lilly the Lucario, Trina the Honedge, the still-unadorned Mawile, and three newcomers:
L18 Ferroseed: Female, Jolly, trained in Atk/Speed, moves Rollout/Rock Smash/Pin Missile/Metal Claw. Not sure what a Jolly version of the slowest Pokemon (in terms of base speed) I've ever used will do, at least until evolution. At the very least, I can't wait to do some trolling with Iron Barbs + Rocky Helmet when we go to the Chateau shortly.
L20 Steelix "Thumper": Female, Impish, Rock Head (blast), trained in Att/Speed, moves Bulldoze/Gyro Ball/Stealth Rock/Automatize. The ingame trade paid off as I got a Heart Scale off the Luvdisc and now have something that can stay behind since it gets boosted Exp.
L11 Nosepass: Female, Timid, Sturdy, trained in SA/Speed, moves Tackle/Block/Harden/Rock Throw. I still have to TM this thing and curse the fact that it doesn't evolve until Courmarine.
So basically the entire day was spent catching stuff and Super Training. Ferroseed took about 10 minutes of skating 'round the bottom of the Glittering Cave, Luvdisc-> Thumper took about thirty seconds, and then I wanted a Sturdy Nosepass with a good nature so I hatched a plan. Since Nosepass come in hordes only, and if they don't have Sturdy they have Magnet Pull, I sent Lilly out to catch them. Bulldoze clears out the ones that aren't Strudy, and from there, it's pick one at random and take out the rest.
This is all well and good when you can use Honey to draw them out... until it starts raining on the route and honey stops working. Bloody hell. Thankfully, a quick duck inside the Cyllage Pokemon Center fixed that up right quick.
I don't have to do any catching for a while, so it's down to evening out the team levels and raiding Gyms. Thankfully, Mega-Abomasnow is dropping by today so I don't have things like work to distract me.
