misty went...oddly well. i think doing a bit of ev training and muscle/genius/speed wing abuse from the raids before the battle definitely helped.
>frogadierwas taken out by bronn's bullet seed.
>starmieher ace, of course. it outsped a fucking jolly, near max IV 130 speed EV bronn and landed an icy wind (thank god it wasn't beam, i so thought it was going to be beam), bringing him down to low yellow. landed a 2-hit bullet seed as it popped a sitrus to go back to green. i said fuck it, then sent out cain to bite and accelerock it. oddly never went for a water move, only going for psybeam on cain - i guess it could tell i had a passho berry?
>floatzelthought it was physical so i sent in the new guy, felix, to soften it up. turns out its special, VERY specially strong at that, and it landed a huge water pulse that nearly took felix out. just sent in horace to beat it down, thankfully the only other attack it seemed to have was swift.
and (relatively) easy cascade badge. poster below my last update said i should probably use raid mons so i'll distinguish them from the regular captures.
>>44929820as the rest of the posters said, it's really up to you. in a sense, doing platinum first will probably make diamond and pearl whenever you feel like getting to them easier.
>>44930299staryu is extremely strong late game, and bulbasaur + maybe a diglett for surge cleans up most of early game quite nicely.
