I made some poor tactical decisions and lost two of my best all-rounders in the process. Not been so bad though - caught Voltorb while stopping off in Mauville, and on the way over to Fortree got it and Gulpin to evolve. Following that though, I felt like doing some extra grinding in the lead-up to the gym fight. So I got Marshtomp to become Swampert, and paid a trip to the Game Corner. Thought if I could get it bulky enough to weather an Earthquake or two from Altaria, I could use Ice Beam to bring it down. Also handy as a back-up in case anything happened with Electrode.
Though, I might have overdone it as we had no real problems. Six badges down, two to go. Will likely do a little exploring now, see if I can't find any new captures to fill the vacant slot on the team and bring the others up to snuff.
