I FINALLY caught a semi-decent and fun mon to fill out the fifth spot: DINGLE the stunky. He still needs some grinding to be worthwhile. Byron was defeated with BLOOP the bronzong, which he has surprisingly little counter against.
As mentioned, Riley killed off a shiny onix on Iron Island, so that kinda sucks. Also caught some other stuff after i got Surf, but nothing amazing. Catch diversity really is a joke in Sinnoh. Every single grass area has a bibarel, a staraptor, and/or a graveler ass the most common encounter, and every single cave has a golbat, graveler, and/or machoke as the most common encounter, and every single water area has wingulls and tentacools as the most common encounters. Even interesting thematic areas like iron island literally only has 1 (one) single steel-type encounter with a 10% encounter rate. Sad!
