>>44117076Congrats on finally clearing Emerald Genesis! Man Xanthos, what a bro.
Made my way back to Celadon and finally opened up Saffron City. Banjo and Pey'j made quick work of the Fighting Dojo; I decided to give Banjo Petal Dance even though it's risky because the sheer power it offers once I beef up with Growth.
The one last piece of preparation I'm going to do before I take on Silph Co is to head back to the Move Deleter and take Cut off Ridley and replace it with Metal Claw again, with the ultimate goal being giving him Fly once he evolves so I finally have a flier.
Beyond that, I'm all stocked up for Silph. I've got Hyper Potions, Full Heals and hopefully enough Rockets to own that I meet my level goal of 40 by the time I face Giovanni. I'm not thrilled about not having a good answer to Khangaskhan still; my best bet is probably going to be a Growth x2 Venusaur's Petal Dance, that or Yawning her with Daisy.
Wish me luck bros! Silph is going to be the first *real* test for my ruleset, I hope I can hold out.
