Flannery and dad both had close calls, but no losses. Pelipper is surprisingly great.
After clearing the water routes nearby, New Mauville, and getting the Ice Beam TM from the Abandoned Ship, I had to dodge most of the trainers from Route 119 onwards in order to not be overlevelled for Winona, and even then I was at level 34. Unfortunately, I did lose Amy the Dustox on the way up to Fortree. Fucking Counter on Breloom killed her. Luckily, I got Absol on Route 120 (mild nature isn't too bad in this generation either), who took and still has the Exp Share in order to catch up while slowing the growth of everyone else. It's like I can't have a full team - apart from a shitty natured Voltorb, almost all my captures are either shit, redundant, or weak to Ice which means they'll have no long term utility. I'm honestly hoping for Meditite at the tower's summit. Glacia looks like a problem!
It's also this part of the game where I start to run out of non-Water type captures. Maybe I can get myself a Spheal in Shoal Cave. The Game Corner at least could be a source of another Ice Beam TM.
Winona was piss easy with Shock Wave and Ice Beam on Pelipper alongside Overheat Camerupt. I even froze Altaria and she only has Hyper Potions and not Full Restores.
