Alright, it's time to start Ultra Moon. It's a very Dark-type heavy early game, isn't it?
Rolled a Popplio as my starter and it's actually a girl which pleases my autism. Sign of good things to come because we started off shockingly well thanks to some amazing encounters.
Turns out Inkay is a ridiculously strong early catch. Between Contrary and early Reflect + Foul Play it's genuinely broken. Kraken singlehandedly put Ilma to shame and with Tubby the Makuhita behind a Reflect (and the Brick Break TM conveniently placed in the trial site) Totem Ratticate didn't stand a chance either. Didn't even matter that I couldn't use Mermaid because she went over the level cap during the trial.
Already going better than anticipated, I did not expect to get through a trial without a loss.
>>55353654Yeah there's quite a lot of dragons available in XY, especially near the end.
>>55353409Water definitely sounds like the better option with stuff like Gyarados, Vaporeon and one of 3 water/ground types.
>>55353668You could always get both a Heatproof and Levitate Bronzong lol, but I'm not sure how useful that would be for the rest of the run.
>>55353068I had a Dustox in Emerald and it could really pull it's weight as support. Unfortunately I lost it to a Baltoy self destructing in the desert, would've liked to take it to the end.
