after losing my flyer and surfer, had to fill those slots. shellder was a guarantee encounter because of my retired tentacool line. trained to 49 to learn ice beam and then grinded out points at the pokeathlon for a water stone to evolve. clement is ready to rip.
my only options for a flyer pre-kanto were skarmory and lugia. i generally try to avoid using legendaries, so i hoped for the best in getting skarmory (5% encounter rate) over teddiursa (10%) with the geodude line retired. got lucky and caught maverick, who im excited to use.
clair was surprisingly uneventful. grim and jupiter did most of the heavy lifting.
this is the team going into the elite four. im nervous about my movepool's lack of coverage, but im gonna ride whats brought the team success.
