Finished up some remaining captures. Once you get Surf in this hack, you get access to the best EV training spots in the game plus the Power Items, which is super nice.
As I was doing my catches, I realized that I had never fought Chuck, and my catches would do exceedingly well against him. And, well, he was a bit of a joke lol. One thing to note is that his levels, and presumably all optional bosses, scale with yours.
>PoliwrathRosso walled and killed it
>Gallade-MegaWas a bit scary as it could Bulk Up, but even with crit +1 Psycho Cuts it wasn't muscling through Strength Saps
>HitmontopRetard AI just spammed Sucker Punch, Rosso killed it
>BreloomDunno why he didn't go this first, but anyway I sent in Horace, mega evolved as it tried to set up Subs then one shotted with Sludge Bomb.
After winning he gives a Focus Sash (thank god, love this item), Drain Punch, and a choice between Crabrawler and Clobbopus, Crabrawler seems better if I need Trick Room strats and potentially for gym Giovanni/Lance
>>45031931that's sad to hear ;(. sucks that it was a double battle too and there's barely any way to mitigate selfdestruct from being a hazard in that situation
>>45031632honestly one thing you can do if you're really worried is just wait til late game then catch stuff from the final water routes/safari zone/route 13/14/15/cinnabar mansion and then abandon what you had before.
FR/LG are some of the easier games in the series, so don't sweat too hard.
>>45029529that really fucking sucks.
learn from it, though, and prepare for him better in pearl.
>>45029111good job! def a very rough game
>>45028908early game is fast enough to where you can probably just reset if you don't get shinx/rockruff/wooloo/whatever, desu
