Current location: Cyllage City, just beat Grant and got the most important thing of all: STAB for everybody!
Let's meet the team, shall we?
Zappa the Lunatone (L25) - Naive - Confusion, Rock Slide, Hypnosis, Psywaye
- Psywave is actually proving to be quite useful right now, it's actually outdamaging Confusion. That'll change as the SA stat increases, of course.
Steven Tyler the Binacle (L24) - Clamp, Rock Tomb, Shadow Claw, Slash
- Those last two moves are doing way more damage than they should. Thank you, Sniper.
Tori the Dwebble (L24) - Bug Bite, Rock Tomb, Bulldoze, Cut
- First Pokemon stuck with an HM, first one to evolve, and the first to have lunch with Bug Bite.
Denver the Tyrunt (L24) - Brave - Rock Tomb, Strength, Bite, Bulldoze
- Second Pokemon stuck with an HM, I wish his other Strong Jaw moves didn't require breeding. Voted "Most Likely To Not Use Bulldoze".
Madonna the Amaura (L24) - Mild - Aurora Beam, Nature Power, Icy Wind, Take Down
- Same as the Ice run, except now it has five teammates off the hop.
Skynyrd the Aerodactyl (L24) - Naughty, Pressure - Rock Tomb, Bite, Rock Smash, Bulldoze
- About to pick up Aerial Ace for a secondary STAB, which will be quite abused in the upcoming Gym.
Basically, it was "get everyone up to speed, then go beat Grant" day. And it worked out well, as the early availability of Bulldoze/Rock Smash means it's easy to beat down a bunch of fellow Rock types. For what it's worth, I got Lightningrod / Adamant Rhyhorn and Sturdy / Rash Nosepass if for some reason I want or need a B-team.
The Grant fight was a Madonna sweep like the last one, bar the Amaura surviving Power Gem (it was 2 levels down from the Ice run, you might recall) and managing to squeeze off a T-Wave. Tyrunt still got one-shot, though.
Tomorrow's plan: Unlock Mega-Skynyrd. Anything else is cream cheese.
