Huge blog post incoming about my blind nuzlocke run so far, and I really do mean HUGE. Don't bitch!
First of all, this is a blind nuzlocke. I do this shit with every pokemon game, since you only get 1 shot at a BLIND nuzlocke run, and they're fun as fuck.
Battle on Set and only 3 potions per encounter allowed. I used to disallow potions in battle altogether but that shit is too difficult, especially for a blind run.
Anyway, I was doing relatively good on my run, had a solid team and barely any casualties (Literally 2 to be exact, one being a Rattata and the other being a Fomantid, which I actually said to my friend who I was talking to earlier that I didn't really mind that Fomantid died since Lurantis is extremely sub par in terms of stats, despite me loving its design)
At this point in the game, I had successfully destroyed all totem pokemon fairly easily.
Totem Raticate got 1 shotted, Totem Wishiwash (which I was originally shit scared of) got 1 shotted due to a crit. May have dodged a bullet there. Totem Salazzle was interesting and almost managed to kill my Wishiwashi actually because I foolishly forgot to equip the Waterium Z, but in the end I came out of that fight unscathed too.
Now then, imagine my surprise when I get to the grass trial. History a weak type, usually very easy gyms no matter which gen they're from, and I already knew Lurantis was the totem pokemon, a pokemon that I've seen the stats of, and they're really nothing special. Quite bad actually.
But what could go wrong? I have Torracat equipped with the Fire Z stone, I have Trumbeak, I have Charjabug. 3 pokemon right there capable of dealing super effective damage. My other 3 pokemon are Wishiwashi (Who is a powerhouse which unfortunately can't really help out much against a grass trail), Alolan Persian and Alolan Diglett.
I'm going to cut to the chase, this Totem battle fucking ruined me. It can be brutal, and I know there's going to be somebody who says he 1 shotted it or something.
