>>35499260Reluctant post-Flannery update spoiler alert
I fucked up:I went into the gym thinking it would be a breeze with Lil B since he just learned Bubblebeam the team was between level 24-26 and I iddn't think the grind would be worth it to have them closer to lvl 28 like her Torkoal.
After getting through the trainers I thought fuck it Lil B's got this lets just challenge her and then everyone died. I started with Lil B of course whose bubblebeam was unable to OHKO her Slugmas and she used her potions on both of them luckily but it meant i had to do some switching around to get them knocked out weakening my team. When the turtle came out I figured I would switch to Mightyena to intimidate it but I forgot it had clear smoke and it one shot my pupper with overheat.
I threw out my Swellow next thinking I could cheese it with double teams and only got two up before it was killed from body slams. I switched in my started so I could heal my squid back up and he used overheat on Flylo not doing much and lowering her sp.atk more which was good so I switched back into Lil B and he got OHKO'd by body slam. With my starter low desperate times calls for desperate measures I sent out Dustox and starting spamming confusion which barely did any damage but it confused itself and even hurt itself making the gym salvageable. I kept using confusion and tanked a body slam but when I went to heal she crit me from full with another body slam. Luckily enough Dustox had worn it down enough where Flylo finished it off with a double kick but the damage was already done the mons i had grown and trained with had perished due to my laziness.
And now I must pay with the mons I have gathered after the gym it will take a good amount of time grinding before I'll be ready for Norman and his monstrous team. Not all hope is lost we still have Flylo but my dad will have to wait a little longer for my challenge...
