Here we are, at the Indigo plateau once again. Chikara and Bakuhatsu were replaced by the cattle couple and there was no way for me to let the pink Furret out of the team, so Tsubasa got the bench. I remembered Green has a Pidgeot, so Pidgey can't be caught in LeafGreen may trade a Dratiny I got from some old fart for a badass Dodrio in case I need a Flying type (I have to evolve the Dratini first, though).
>>43654321Plan ahead, Anon, you can get some good catches on route 35 if you go there in morning hours: Skarmory, Phanpy and Donphan. Gligar can be decent and can be evolved after you win the league (just go to the Battle Factory for easy, 0 risk BP, you don't use your pokemon and you don't black out). Don't go into the cave or some blue punchingbags will hug you and will not let you go.
>>43651588Torchic is like poor Chikorita: a good pokemon stuck in a region that absolutely wants it dead
>Chikorita can get murdered by Falkner, Bugsy and Pryce, Is not very usefull or effective against Morty, Jasmine and Claire. Most mons in Chuck's Gym know elemental attacks. Whitney is Whitney.Torchic: Killed by Roxane, Winona, Tate&Liza, Juan/Wallace, routes filled with water/flying mons. Mildly usefull against Bawly because it learns Peck. Usefull against Norman (until Slaking says hi) and watson's Magnamite/Magneton.
