As I feared, the Norman fight was tough even when cheese strats. I ended up replacing like half the team and even then, I couldn't win without casualties. I was hoping Bug/Rock would resist all of Slaking's move but Anorith went down in the switch with a single Focus Punch.
On the more positive side, Pelipper managed to take out the two Slakings without much trouble thanks to Toxic. Also, thanks to pick up I found a Kings Rock for Combusken and got enough Nuggets to buy Flamethrower, not to mention Pelipper is soon going to get Surf so that should take care of the lack of firepower in my team. I may also get a cool Dragon in a few levels.
That being said, the big surprise to me this time was definitely Lunatone. Its my first time using one and was not expecting her to be that fast or hit that hard. The plan was to send her to die against the Vigoroth to get a clean switch but instead she took the Faint Attack like a champ and then outspeed the Vigoroth for the kill.
Overall, I am feeling a lot more optimistic about this team now.
