>>36983831Ok! Broly's down. Got scared of crits but thankfully none happened. Flannery's gym is gonna make me shit my pants, I know that much.
>>36983837Actually wasn't too terrible I'll be honest. Slapped on like three X-defends for Machop and powered through. Had do go full offense on Meditite because it has focus punch for some reason. Legitimately got scared of Makuhita because one in the gym almost killed me with an arm thrust (left me on 1 hp and could have gotten another hit in), but I'm thankful vital throw didn't crit this time. Fake tears + bite is a decent strategy that I never thought I'd use in my life, but it can;t really sweep so every mon has some setup where I fear criticals.
X-defend feels a bit cheaty so I'll probably limit my usage of that from here on out (or maybe that's just because Mawile's shitty stats are still good at this point in the game)... but eh, there's no X-special defend to keep Flannery from kicking my ass, and most of the gyms from here on out are special attacking types in Emerald anyway.
