Got through Roark without too much trouble, besides forgetting that Cranidos hits hard as fuck, would've teamwiped me if I had lost Frank there.
Caught a Buizel and have been training him after accidentally gibbing the one I found at the Windworks. He nearly got instakilled by a Pachirisu Bide, but he managed to hang on at 1HP. Could've been a costly lesson, but that's what I get for mashing A mindlessly. Heading to Eterna Forest there, taking a while there to abuse the partner fights to grind my Pokémon - something tells me I'm going to be having Polaris take the reins during the next gym.
>>39519151This is the 4th time I've played Sinnoh, including a savefile that I played way past 999:59, so I don't really want to use Pokémon I have used before. Besides that, Simple Bidoof is too risky for a Nuzlocke and I think Graveler is ugly.
