After accidentally levelling Eevee too high and losing out on his first stab move on evolution I decided to box him for now. My only legal encounter on route 4 was Trubbish, and since I ended up catching one outside Nimbasa I caught the Mandibuzz instead. Giving the player a Mandibuzz/Braviary to use before the endgame is one of the most overlooked neat little things in BW2. Those 2 are way too mediocre to evolve at level 54, no idea what they were thinking.
I also got one of my favourite pokemon of Gen 5 in the desert resort, which I then promptly wasted in a double battle against two Scrafty. I genuinely expected it to just oneshot both with an Air Cutter, instead I got a Revenge to the face. Lost my motivation to play for a few days from that but it is what it is. Not sure if Trubbish is gonna be a placeholder or an actual teammember yet.
Oh yeah and Heavy swept the gym after one Hone Claws, then evolved from all the XP. Team's full of heavy hitters now.
>>58726075Emerald Flannery is one of the toughest gym fights in the franchise imo. Overheat in the sun will just melt even the tankiest stuff at that point in the game. Don't think I've ever cleared it without a loss.
>>58725116Sounds like a fun run. Flamethrower is one of those moves that is learnt by some absolutely insane things. I remember fucking Geodude and Machop get it. Gen 1 was wild.
>>58722152Not anymore but I remember we always used to play pokemon coloseum on our cousin's N64 when we went to their place for christmas growing up. I remember how mindblowing seeing pokemon in 3d games was, good times.
