>>53927176Personally i prefer Kecleon for L1. Alakazam starts great, but falls off incredibly hard due to how heavily level affects damage in the original. Playing Alakazam is basically begging for the game to give you a Warp Scarf and Frustration TM's, since Confusion won't do shit a third of the way through the dungeon.
or you could take the coward's way out and use a manip route
