>>38189639Just managed to get through Victory Road... almost. In the last trainer encounter I lost Crobat. I don't even know how it managed to evolve and it got knocked out. So with another loss on the board, I double-backed to the Sevii Islands and grabbed my last-minute addition in Exeggcute. Hours of grinding later, I've got my team just about finalized.
Pretty sure I've got Lorelei thoroughly covered; every team member has got something for hers. Unless I purposefully fuck up somehow, I don't expect much out of her. Bruno's boys will likely be easy too. I'll primarily tap Shaman, but Paladin and Fighter will be on hand to provide back-up. Cleric's got Agatha's ghosts dead to rights, with Paladin and Shaman for clean-up. I don't think Lance will be much of an issue, Paladin seems like an effective dragon-slayer, but if he should fall I've got Cleric for ice-spam. Rival fight will likely be touch-and-go as I'd expect. Most of the opposing team I've got multiple counters for. Alakazam I would normally be fearing, but if Cleric or Paladin are still in by the time we get there, think we've got it.
We'll see how it goes. Once more unto the breach.
