Everything that could've went wrong went wrong against Elesa. Basically Galvantula was the main threat but I repeatedly missed Sleep Powders and Leech Seeds until I got crit. And then Galvantula was free to spam Thunder, get many crits and paralyses, and kill my two best team members.
And obviously with my grass counters gone Cheren got to snipe me with his stupid Serperior that has Contrary but can still boost up with Coil because that's fair.
Time to do lots of (safe) grinding before getting to anything else.
