>lead with butterfree. ohko snover with aircutter. 2hko delibird with electroweb, get hit once by icy wind. smoochum comes in next and outspeeds>switch butterfree for masquerian (bug/water in bb2 redux) who resists frost breath, outspeeds smoochum. smoochum either uses another attack or nasty plot, doesnt matter>shelldar is last, and due to the game failing to recognize the power of multihit skills favors water pulse far more than it should. switch masq to venonat, shelldar either uses shell smash or water pulse. if shell smash, uses water pulse before getting slept by venonat>after sleeping shelldar, switch venonat for beautifly. beautifly outspeeds and ohkos with giga drain.After Brycen we can finally enter Castelia City, which gives us access to paras, burmy, spinarak, anorith, and trapinch (the entire line changed to bug in bb2 redux). Some of them will be useful eventually. I think larvesta/volcarona is around here somewhere too. A pity I cant use the victini on victory island.
Lots to do, but I want to get to burgh without overleveling so i beeline for the sewers. the double battle against the plasma grunts is a bit scary because i am stuck with one of hughs shitters and their granbull hits hard with rock slide. i pick up a spinarak and a few items while there. butterfree carries both in the sewers and against burghs gym trainers, but i have to shuffle around pokemon a lot to keep butterfree from breaking lvl 29. after way too long looking for burmy in castelia park i give up and try fighting burgh. It goes poorly, as expected, and I will try some more tomorrow.
