>>56097698> Just outside the gym's city, you can catch Magnemite, a steel pokemon that is immune to poison type and is a hard counter to the gym leader's strategySpeaking of which, I'm doing a BW2 playthrough right now and there is a NPC literally spelling this out for you just in case. To be fair I think Elesa is always worse when it comes to early game gyms, but the game allows you to cheese it with Sandile, making it impossible for her to land Volt Switch exactly like you can deny Venoshock with Magnemite.
Anyway, you are perfectly right, but you are talking about a shitposter who will fixate on any stupid point as long it gets to derail threads or somehow prop up XY/USUM in his mind. That's the only reason anyone is arguing difficulty here, while the previous BW2 playthrough thread was mostly about OP's team choices or unlucky happenings like him getting bodied by Ghetsis after 3 crits.
