>>49203269Had some bad luck with my Motostoke Riverbank and Stony Wilderness encounters. Both Sigilyphs broke out of their Quick Balls and Whirlwinded me away.
Also, took on Kabu!
>Vs Kabu>NinetalesIt Will-O-Wisps Suzie Glatz, who sets up Stealth Rock. Also, I equipped Suzie with a Shed Shell in case of a Fire Spin.
She takes an Ember, as I also have her set up a Reflect.
Once that's done, I switch in Ristar on another Ember, and Ristar proceeds to...
Miss a Hydro Pump and get burned by Will-O-Wisp. Whoops.
Second Hydro Pump hits the target and blows the Ninetales away.
>ArcanineIt falls to Hydro Pump as well. The Reflect fades, annoyingly.
>Gigantamax CentiskorchThe Stealth Rocks cut the Centipede's health bar in half, and then Power Gem finishes the job.
I'm not sure I actually needed to set up the rocks here, maybe Expert Belt Starmie would have done just fine on its own, but I didn't want to take chances.
Not exactly planning on having Ristar on my main squad, but a really fast Water-Type packing Hydro Pump and Power Gem was very much in demand for Kabu.
