>>51426914Didn't play all that much today, but I did get some pretty solid encounters.
>Crobat>Staraptor>A Backup Fire-Type in a Sinnoh Game>An alright Water-Type just when I needed oneThe Roark fight went as well as could be expected. Psyduck cleaned house. I' a little peeved about not nabbing a Kricketot (I want fodder against that fucking Purugly) on Route 204. It broke out of all 16 of my Pokéballs. According to its catch rate, that had about a 1 in 43 Million chance of occuring.
My luck is normally abyssmal, but that's a bad omen if I've ever seen one.
>>51433755A lot of great things in that box. Tentacruel's probably a better answer than I had for Lance's Dragonites since it naturally outspeeds them (Glaceon doesn't).
I'd go at the Game Corner grind to give it Ice Beam though. Blizzard is too unreliable. Crobat is also a monster. If you're bringing it into the League, I'd replace Leech Life with U-Turn.
Steelix is another beast. A tip: If you're willing to farm Heart Scales in Cianwood, It's probably a good bet to give it Ice Fang. That thing can stand up to a lot of Outrages. Give it an Occa Berry though, the big Dragonite has Fire Blast. At level 48, Dragon Rush from the other two Dragonites does 6 damage. Six.
