Tragedy strikes in the Burned Tower, lost my Pidgeotto AND my Sandshrew to my rival's Quilava; critical ember offed sandshrew and some spam wiped out pidgeotto
Replaced them with an Abra and a Staryu (Good rod is my friend)
Grabbed TMs for Fire, Ice, and Thunder punches and dumped them on Abra, given their special nature in this gen. (Also taught it to Geodude for a little coverage if I'm stuck against something grass or steel)
