The catch for Eterna Forest was KOd by Cheryl; once I left, however, I was able to catch a Yanma, Macaroni. I trained east of Eterna and caught a Growlithe, Basil. The catch for Mt. Coronet was a Diglett, which the now-evolved Nimbus KOd.
I planned on training Basil and Macaroni by using the Lucky Egg and Exp. Share at the Eterna Gym, which I had just recieved from the bike route gate. Basil performed well, as he was a fire type. I also decided not to use Nimbus as he was overleveled for the gym so Basil and Macaroni would get the Exp.
In retrospect, I shouldn't have done that, since in the battle with Gardenia, Basil got his HP down to yellow and was badly poisoned. I was afraid he would faint, so I switched to Macaroni. Macaroni fainted to Cherrim's Weather Ball, after which Cherrim used Toxic Spikes.
I do not know why I acted so rashly...I impulsively switched to Palladium, reasoning that poison had no effect on steel. The Cherrim used grass knot; as he was very heavy, Palladium was OHKOd. It was a very sad moment.
Now that I have Cut, I shall visit the Old Chateau. I am hoping to get a good ghost type pokêmon.
