>>26802761 here.Here are my experiences with the gyms so far:
>1I didn't have trouble with Magby because Numel killed it the turn it used Belly Drum. I could definitely see it killing entire teams though.
>2Chansey was really annoying. It's not particularly dangerous, because it's weak and will run out of Dizzy Punch pp pretty quickly, but it's really tough to kill. I got lucky and was able to kill it with a crit Magnitude from my Geodude, but otherwise I might have had to wait until it started struggling. Imo Munchlax was already tough and a good choice for an ace, and you can just add some third pokemon.
>3This one was really easy for me. I went to the mines before fighting the gym, so I was overleveled. Roserade soloed the gym.
>4I figured that this gym would be really easy with Roserade and two water absorbers. I was wrong. Swanna is really strong. The situation I ended up in was that Swanna could outspeed and OKHO 4 of my pokemon (Darumaka/Gligar/Machamp/Roserade) while being able to 2HKO my other two mons while they couldn't do significant damage back. I ended up having to cheese it by spamming healing items on Quagsire until it ran out of Hurricane PP. This my just be a team composition error on my part because I don't have any flying resists though.
>5Darmanitan killed 3 mons before dying, and I cleaned up the rest without much trouble. I think running multiple focus sashes is kind of cheap, but maybe not. Also, Mamoswine should have thick fat.
Also, Chris's Gliscor doesn't have poison heal.
Did you increase the shiny rate from the base game? Because I found a shiny Klink, which makes it the second shiny I've caught this run (excluding the ones in the mines).
Pic related made me laugh.
