Pokemon Blue is a-go! Three gyms down and they all went relatively easily; Brock was slain quick as you like by Tuille the Squirtle who was then boxed right away, Misty taken down by Sixty the Beedrill thanks to Twineedle, even oneshotting her Starmie thanks to a lucky crit. Surge was a complete joke thanks to Pangolinda the Sandslash, even if Dig wasn't 100 power this gen she still wouldn't have had any issues. Natalya the Nidoqueen was a big help along the way, keeping Sixty alive until he learned Twineedle and could reliably fend for himself, but she's benched as well since I'd rather save Nidoqueen for a gen where you can't sweep half the game with a competent Psychic type alone.
>>56994624Definitely agree with giving Altaria Earthquake in that situation, Solrock would be more than fine without it, but Altaria definitely needs it to have more than just Aerial Ace or Fly as a good attacking move
>>56994527Dang, those are some heavy losses, always a sad moment when the opponent pulls out a move you didn't expect and just crushes a mon. I have a lot of bad memories of Fighting type mons in X and Y, pulling out shit like Poison Jab against a should-be-safe Fairy type
