like, you planned the team ahead of time? (Ninoop) An NPC will call you a fag for getting carried by Wonder Trade 'mon, but I'll spare you that. Looks fun! First runthrough I used Vaultevour (well, Chompest and didn't find the Metal Coat until I had benched him) but the Elemental Fangs w/Strong Jaw (or Stockpile I guess?) Cheerly is fun but I also benched her, Marleyzard was too slow for me period, but make your own opinions. Haven't used the bird, throw Softboil on Condoom w/Black Sludge for the bulk you're talking about, should have Toxic Wave(?) or something by now.
You have to do both Rocket events - Silph Co., then go to the Sewers and complete the underground base (Watch out for the kid, his ace is no joke) to open up the /b/hive Gym, and progress towards the longest roadblock in the game. Personally, I think your team MIIIIGHT struggle with a fight after gym 5.
I beat the E4 once, then lost the save and currently am sitting in the first half of the postgame. Once you get a system going I think the game isn't too unfair. pic is my pride, though his IVs are just awful. I could rebreed with my perfect Blobbos for Dragon Dance but sometimes its abut more than that.
