>>38465761So we've hit our first major stumbling block. After proceeding all the way to Veilstone with very few upsets, (almost lost Hot Rod to a Geodude's Magnitude, caught Perceptor in Wayward Cave and others) we've endured some heavy losses. Skids was caught in another Geodude's Selfdestruct, and then shortly after that happened, when we were fighting trainers in the gym, a Machoke scored a crit and took out Silverbolt. Both are pretty significant I feel - Staraptor and Gastrodon were both incredibly helpful to my team towards the end of the last game, and I was really counting on SB for Maylene. I've still got Hot Rod for her Lucario and I'll be grinding up Perceptor of course, but I feel rather exposed. I might be taking out Swoop and do some power-leveling to get him up to speed with the rest of the team now that I'm out a flyer.
