Jesus, this was a bad split. Aaron actually went pretty okay all things considered, with Akihiko overleveling mid battle and the only real casualty being just an unlucky crit. But I realized that without really stupid cheese (which I could do, I just didn't want to) there was no easy way to tackle Fantina and her dreaded Ghost/Fairy Mismagius. At least it didn't Calm Mind spam, and she didn't end up burning half my physically oriented team that I didn't have Rawst Berry for, but at the end of it I had to basically decide who I felt had more worth going forward and who had to die. I do try to minimize deaths for these and it is a bit of a shame I'm so sloppy this playthrough. Haven't done it in a while I guess
>>46083923nice job anon. been meaning to play emerald final myself some time to see if it's any good
>>46083880F. what's with your team levels, though? marshtomp eats roark for breakfast
>>46083824sudowoodo is lowkey an extremely based mon. it's capable of eating a surprising amount of hits and is capable of doing quite a lot of damage (at least in later gens with shit like head smash, but you can still get a lot of mileage out of it in gsc i'd imagine)
>>46083981honestly chadlocke anon gastly isn't bad to catch at all. i think it's something like a 50% chance to get if you just chuck an ultra ball at it from full. people make the mistake of hitting it below half so it kills itself with curse
