Beat Maylene! On the way there, tragically, Gale got crit by a trainer's Murkrow when I thought it was surely out of KO range. Really undersold Murkrow's attack, thought it was much lower. At least it was able to be laid to rest where it fell; rest in peace ol' girl.
One new addition steps in, Jubilee the Blissey. If I can hold onto Blissey until I get Toxic, this run will be made a lot easier so people might object to using it, but hey, my run and it's banned after this, so fair game I say.
As for Maylene, her first two Pokemon fell quickly to Luna, but some Leer defense drops made me have to switch around. I swapped to Sidd once Lucario came in, but a Bone Rush almost killed him. I then swapped to Atlas, and some Curse boosts allowed Atlas to tank the Lucario; a swap to Supa Soaker and an Aqua Jet is enough to bring it down. Badge secured!
>>53725831RIP to Aipom, at least it's saved for Gen IV and onwards. Great team, another anon understands the power of Johto Golem.
>>53725400Saving Pokémon just to evolve them later never sits well with me, but that's probably the right move to do so. I just don't like to play that way if I plan on using it regardless, but I know that's needlessly risky. Consider it a handicap. But at least Garchomp is one of the earliest evolutions of the pseudos; you can actually use it at the 8th gym!
>>53724740>22 deathsHold the faith anon, my Yellow run was a massacre.
