Everything started off well. Luces went out at first, and destroyed Trubbish, but not before toxic spikes were laid. Koffing went down just as fast, but used a Fire Gem boosed Incinerate to weaken Luces. Croagunk came out next, and Confusion 1-shot it.
Then, I had a brainfart. I had to choose someone to sacrifice, since Luces' survival was important and it needed healed. Without thinking, I elected Calypso, my new replacement water type. I should have just gone with Prompto, who will likely be solidly useless the whole game now.
Calypso went out confidently. But, that confidence quickly faltered once the toxic spikes poisoned her. One Whirlopede steamroller later, and Calypso's shell was shattered.
Luces went back in and cleaned up, coming dangerously close to dying. Without Calypso's sacrifice, many more would have died.
