>>46943429I love the Oddish line and I use Zubat and occasionally the early bird mon as well, and once I add them to my team I usually keep them the whole time. It just kind of depends on which game I'm playing and if it's been a while since I've used that Pokémon. I never use Rattata/Sentret/whatever the early rodent mon is though, it just never seems worth it even when I like the Pokémon.
>what about when it comes to Pokemon like Geodude, where it's a pain to get to its final stage? Does this put you off actually using one on your in-game team?It does, but I still do it occasionally. I used a Golem on one of my GSC runs and it was okay but generally I avoid trade evos just because they're annoying and I automatically disregard most of those Pokémon
