>>45498841Continuing from last night, I decide to do a clean sweep of all the ocean routes, not only taking care of all the trainers, but also grabbing whatever encounters I can along the way
After that, I take care of Archie and then head over to face Kyogre
Since Kyogre was the first encounter in the Cave of Origin and seeing as it could easily fuck up my team, I elected to just use my Master Ball, catch it, and throw it in a box meant for stuff I can't use because using Kyogre would just be cheating
Following that, I head over to Wallace's gym and despite some issues with the gym puzzle, I manage to get to him okay, but then shit gets...tense
>Strategy going in is to use Wallace's Luvdisc to set up Growths so that I can OHKO the Milotic since Luvdisc can't really fight back and Milotic could easily fuck up my team due to its bulk and power>Despite some Sweet Kiss shenanigans, set up my 4 Growths and OHKO Luvdisc>Wallace sends out Milotic who outspeeds City, hits her with an Ice Beam, dropping her to 23 health and freezing her>She then immediately UNTHAWS, hits Magical Leaf, and OHKOs Milotic>Whiscash comes out and I'm terrified of it somehow outspeeding me so rather than healing and risking it having Ice Beam or critting EQ, I go to Studio who tanks EQ, sets up a CM, and kills it and Sealeo in 2 Psychics, winning me the final badgeI then went around the world, grabbing what I could from Waterfall and grinding up the team to level 45 at the absolute minimum, figuring that that'd be the best level to enter Victory Road with
In terms of the Elite 4, I know that even after Victory Road, they won't nearly be strong enough to win, so I'm figuring I should grind the team up, but I don't know whether to go to 55 or 60. What do y'all think?
Oh, and I put 2 mons in the daycare that I figured I could bring out if I'm not feeling confident in my chances.
