>>50422488In my first nuzlocke on Crystal, I was relying on a Golbat to help me take out Morty, but I made a dumb mistake (kept her against the kimono girl's Espeon) and lost it before the gym.
Resulted in almost wiping at Morty, with only my starter surviving. Thinking I'm fucked for the rest of the game, I immediately caught a rare Miltank that saved the run and went on to become the MVP.
