Totem Raticate fucked my shit up. Led with Lioc to get off Intimidate, and actually managed to poison it with Poison Sting, but it had a fucking Pecha Berry.
Tried to pivot into Magnimum to paralyze with Thunder Wave, but it flinched me with Bite, and then I learned that its little Rattata friend had Pursuit, so I had no choice but to lose Magnimum.
Eventually I was able to poison the Raticate with Lioc, having to use Insanity as death fodder. Thinking he was safe when the Raticate was at -3 Attack and I wanted to set up Barriers, I switched in Sillusion, but he died to a critical hit.
Using a mercy rule I allowed myself to catch a Rattata in Verdant Cavern, and then I got a Mankey on Route 3. More Kantomons ahoy
