>>45006457Took on the Driftveil Gym.
The Slow Exp Cap is actually 33, but Roxanne leveled up to 34 within the gym and learned Flamethrower(the main reason I was keeping Roxanne a Growlithe), so I had Arcanine instead of Growlithe by the time I fought Clay.
>Vs ClayI start with Roxanne for the Intimidate(and to keep my main Anti-Clay mon from being Intimidated).
I then Switch in Yukimura on a Bulldoze.
Krokorok Crunches Yukimura, then falls to Razor Shell.
>OnixIt causes a flinch with Rock Slide.
Another Rock Slide meets Water Pulse, bringing Onix down to Sturdy.
I don't want to risk an Explosion, so I go for Aqua Jet despite suspecting a Hyper Potion. It ends up being the potion, but Aqua Jet hits Onix likes a truck and sends it all the way back into the red(I was thinking Onix's huge Defense stat might prevent this).
Another Aqua Jet and the snake falls.
>SandslashIt Hones its Claws, giving Yukimura free reign to take it out with a Water Pulse Crit.
>ExcadrillAqua Jet does slightly less than half of Excadrill's health, and it hits back with Metal Claw.
I go for another Aqua Jet(activating Excadrill's Sitrus Berry)- I desperately do not want to get flinched by Rock Slide or something along those lines. However, as if to punish me for this, the game has me grit my teeth as Rock Slide scores a Crit and Yukimura's health ticks all the way down to 5 HP.
With that final scare over, a final Aqua Jet takes out Clay.
