Jupiter actually might've been able to kill the newly evolved Mel the Lopunny, her Skuntank hit me once with Night Slash to put me in range of a crit and just barely survived a second Return with use of a berry, but she only used Poison Gas. A reminder to play better, I guess.
The Hearthome Barry fight was very easy, just a clean sweep with Whitney, I thought he would have had a Staravia by now. The Ace trainers in front of Veilstone were harder, as they required me to teach Mel Shock Wave to reliably deal with the male Ace's Gyarados.
I also made sure to slather as many Honey Trees as possible and went all the way to Valor Lakefront so I could catch Girafarig (kind of hate how Platinum took away this freedom). Then I used PKHex to check/activate them because honestly fuck honey tree mechanics, and one of them was indeed an Aipom. I reslathered my Munchlax trees which thankfully PKHex shows you all four of. My last encounters now I can possibly get are Munchlax, Cleffa, and Azurill, I'll need to wait until tomorrow for Cleffa. Also definitely going to take on Wake before I take on Maylene.
>>48128289As long as you close your eyes for overworld encounters and follow

>>48129618's advice, I don't see why it wouldn't be a fulfilling nuzlocke.
>>48129856Nice team, loving that Minun and Beautifly.
I've never played ORAS but it's so funny how much better the movesets are than in RSE.
