I always always always lose Oshawott. Right when it was about to evolve too. The Cheren/Plasma fights were rough so I'm going to go through insane lengths to grind the new team up. I'm not proud of what I have but at least it's not stuff I've used before. Having a FWG is also neat I guess.
>>37192172Thanks. I always instinctively switch to things like Graveler against Explosion mons like Koffing but obviously it's risky if you're against other Graveler that might have EQ.
I would personally go for Slowking, mostly because it's not something I use a lot. I would wait for your sixth mon though Machamp is very solid too.
>>37192318Trades are generally pretty unreliable though the boosted EXP makes grinding easy. I assume Brown is Gen 1 only so chances are you'll be able to trade with some of them eventually, if there's a lot of them.
