This thrilling nuzlocke update brought to you by the world's dumbest idiot. Badge 5, 6 and 7 acquired, but not without suffering some heavy losses along the way. I did the Rocket HQ early so that I could get Thief, wanting to do an honored tradition of getting Steelix early by stealing a Metal Coat from a wild Magnemite, but just as I was clearing out the Electrode at the very end Granola was hit with a Sonicboom at 19HP. This was entirely my fault, I knew they had Sonicboom, I simply didn't pay attention to Granola's remaining HP and more or less let him die, right before getting to turn into a Steelix. The only saving grace is that Grape Drank didn't have to mourn for long, as he died against Jasmine's Steelix. I thought Fire Punch would be enough to clear the gym out, but Steelix survived and retaliated with a crit Iron Tail that took Grape Drank down from full HP. That one I don't blame myself for too much, I can't imagine a non-crit Iron Tail would do more than about half, but apparently it was just enough. Chuck and Pryce were negligible, D'Lease took out the former without getting hit (Poliwrath missing a Dynamicpunch) and Pryce falling to Babybel's Stomp and Dynamicpunch combo. Team is still looking good, but these are some big holes to fill for sure.
