Well, I can confirm that Rapidash can be done itemless. Since I'm not feeling like wasting tons of hearts on the stage I just chucked a GB which fortunately clicked so there's that. Powercreep indeed got disgusting, or so I would like to say but even with a SMCX I could only get to 53 on SM today thus yet another hour lost without managing to beat it. At this rate I'll beat all the UX before beating SM once.
>>34984885Up to stage 45? Oh boy if only you started the game 2 weeks ago you would have a busted Mewtwo that could carry you throughout the entire game. I suppose you can always hold onto your items for a while and then once you have more special stages mons start swapping stuff.
