DO YOU WANT SOME TRAIL MIX? I HAVE SOME GOOD BERRIES. MAKE SURE TO WAKE UP EARLY AND HAVE THE RIGHT SUPPLIES. WE'RE SUCH GOOD PALORINOS <woodpecker chuckle>. Actually made me see why Silver is so frustrated with him.
And not only that, but he's just not good. Eruption loses a huge amount of power as soon as he takes damage, requiring you to heal the minuscule bit you lost from an AOE move and wasting most of that regained HP. Not only that, but buffing Speed and Evasion (BY SINGLE STAGES NO LESS) can only be done by wasting your healing, meaning you can't even benefit from the tiny boosts until you've already taken damage. He's faster in sunlight? Guess you're forced to waste another slot on Blaine just to make Ethan somewhat usable, or you're forced to use Silver and wait for sync to get sunlight. It takes two bad characters to be as good as one decent one.
