That's Gardenia taken care of! I was a little worried going into this fight because of our low levels, grinding against wild Pokemon with Natual Gift is a chore however, so I decided to run it and gun it. Her Turtwig goes down easy enough, Mercury sets up two Leers as we wait for Turtwig to set up Sunny Day, which allows our 70BP Fire Natural Gift to hit even harder. Hippolyta comes in against her Cherrim, taking negligible damage as another Sun-boosted Natural Gift demolishes. Roserade is a bit scary as not only is it fully evolved, it is 4 levels or more above our entire team, which can be quite troublesome with both Mercury and Hippolyta lacking a way to attack at this point. At least Hippolyta is able to fire off a Leer first, taking little damage thanks to her naturally high Special Defense, before switching off to Dark Amber who sadly takes a Stun Spore directly to the face. Magical Leaf does a worrying amount of damage, a second one could spell the end for us, but thankfully Dark Amber manages to ignore the paralysis to fire off a 70BP Flying Natural Gift which is just barely enough to finish off Roserade, nabbing us the win.
Coming up are some worrying fights, Jupiter's Skuntank and Fantina's Mismagius in particular are some big worries, but at least we'll have access to the VS Seeker soon which will be a huge help with grinding at least
