Current location: Couriway Town, and the current team:
Ponyo - Bug Buzz, Air Slash, Ominious Wind, Hidden Power [Water] (L56)
Sasuke - Megahorn, Poison Jab, Dig, Rock Smash (L56)
Kiki - X-Scissor, Rock Slide, Dig, Shell Smash (L56)
Howl - Bug Buzz, Air Slash, Shadow Ball, Ancientpower (L56)
Chihiro - X-Scissor, Storm Throw, Strength, Rock Tomb (L55)
and newcomer Lupin the male Durant - Naughty (meh, works for the lore), Swarm - X-Scissor, Iron Head, Dig, Crunch (L52)
We picked up in Dendemille and after a brief raid, it was on to Frost Cavern to get Shedinja back up to speed... unfortunately, the area out front isn't conducive to raising a Pokemon on 1 HP due to constant Hail. Inside, he held up against the various Fighting types and he quickly caught up to the rest, and almost would've swept the rival if he didn't pull out Flareon.
The entire Psychic gym got OHKOed except for Slowking, who picked off Shedinja with Power Gem. No big deal, as Chihiro picked up the pieces. From there, it was on to the Flare run, and Ponyo's Intimidate set up a lot of KOs from Sasuke and Chihiro. Shedinja was dropped after the fight though, because it was Durant time.
The issue is that only half of the Durant are usable, and he's rare enough as it is. The sixth Durant had both Swarm and a capable nature, and it took only about a half hour to get him STed thanks to a 200 EV booster in the form of vitamins. From there, he rolled over Route 18 and the Terminus Cave to get to his current L52.
Now that we're coming down to the end... I like the Bug type, I really do. Am I insane enough to pull out three Bugs when I go for my first Maison run? ...possibly. I mean, I have a quality Galvantula, a perfectly-equipped Heracross... just need a quality Dwebble (and by quality, I mean Adamant, Sturdy and equipped with a Weakness Policy because sure, I'll take a +4.). That being said, I'm really looking forward to getting a full squad of power 'mons next time.
Tomorrow's plan: Finish this run and move on to Psychic.
