>>31824491>>31824325I actually lost to her
18 times in a row once.
I had a set team planned, and the only Pokémon I could use until Castelia were Snivy and Sewaddle, and her Venoshock will absolutely fuck you up.
I just kept trying to brute force the fight, hoping to get lucky RNG, stubbornly refusing to grab a Magnemite.
She is IMO one of the hardest Gym Leaders unless you specifically get a Pokémon to counter her. Seems like a no-brainer, but Nuzlockes and grass mono-types can get fucked by her, and even neutral Pokémon can struggle against the Venoshock strategy because it's like she is critting every turn. If you don't have Growlithe/Magnemite/Tepig she can be the first real challenge milestone of the game.
