FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
Finished up the stupid Zetta/Dimensional Rift Galvantula battles, both were going so well UNTIL fucking venam at the end decided to use bulldoze with her seviper at the end to take out ryuji (didn't even take out the galvantula, either, the new kumatora the sandslash had to fill in). and there goes one of the few intimidate mons i'll likely get and one of the biggest things i was saving for the next gym leader.
this especially sucks because it SEEMED like the partner AI in this game is good enough to not go for everyone-targetting moves if the mon you have out was strong enough to shrug it off (melia's stufful wouldn't use brutal swing with my hoggmeister out, but would if i had crono out which it did barely anything to). this is a REALLY damn good slap to the face that partners are fucking dickheads in this game, great to know earlier than later.
the actual fights themselves were pretty uneventful, crono ripped zetta a new asshole again and i swapped in ryuji to spam baby doll eyes once type null came out then swapped to kumatora to soak up weak crush claws, i picked venam as my partner for the zetta fight but it really didn't matter as she did nothing. dimensional rift galvantula actually is a joke if you have decent special defense and don't rely on special attack to get around the struggle bug spam (which ryuji satisfied) and the actual galvantula itself is electric/poison so if venam wasn't retarded i would have just killed it with kumatora's magnitude after ryuji facetanked and killed off all the joltiks.
next up is sheridan, which brings a lot of new captures thankfully, so that'll be nice. still salty as fuck though
