>>58356357Yeah, I was actually looking forward to the challenge but I didn't expect to have an underleveled Monke, it's wild how little outplay room there is compared to other games. I'm completely ready to be fucked by Lenora
Anyways, update on the run
>Autistically grind everyone except Monke to Lv. 14 for Cress, coming as correct as I can >Mull over a couple different strategies for wtf I'm going to do, eventually settle on leading Milady to keep as much momentum as possible and prevent his Lillipup ffrom doing anything>I manage to 2hko Lillipup after it Works Up, I go into Panpour unscathed, moment of truth>Do a little over 1/3 of the damage with Tackle, he Water Guns and I tank it well, another Water Gun and we're both in yellow, my Oran Berry activates and I'm back up.>He Potions and I Tackle>He guns and I Tackle to knock it out, easy moneyFor all the stressing and autistic preparation I was doing, it went as well as it could have
>Off to Route 3, do some battles vs Cheren, Plasma and trainers, Hambo and Milady evolve!>Skip my Wellspring encounter for now>I decide to use Repel Manipulation like a pro gamer to guarantee a Pidove or Blitzle as Vittorio as Lv 10 at the time and they can spawn up to Lv. 11, anyways naturally I hit a Rustling tile on accident as I'm running and my actual encounter ends up being Audino>Welcome to the team Chungus, on the bright side I rolled his Lifespan at 50Do you guys treat Pinwheel Forest outer/inner as 1 area or 2? I'm generally a purist and don't use rules that would help me but they're 2 completely separate encounter tables that contain many unique Pokemon.
