god i am sucking fucking ass at this game
as part of my ruleset, i cannot use the ev training in solaceon, so i don't really get to breathe a sigh of relief, well, ever. while hearthome barry and saturn went off...ridiculously smoothly, like goddamn, i ran into a huge problem on the route before veilstone. while i wasn't new enough to challenge those infamous ace trainers to a double battle, i was retarded enough to walk in with fairly slow pokemon at not good health that couldn't switch in on or didn't match favorably against the female ace's roserade. cue some hemorrhaging of mons.
then came maylene, which should have been pretty easy even without evs since i did have good mons. ryoji handled medicham, gallade, and lucario singlehandedly, i swapped to mayuri on toxicroak to try and burn it which was kind of dumb. thought process was it's only good move to hit offensive ghosts is ice punch, but banette isn't very bulky, so i took a lot of damage. swapped to yukari but it decided to try and finish mayuri with poison jab, which did half my health - then i fucking misclicked and used sing, leading to it critting me.
after a lot of cursing, i killed it with maki, shuji beat down infernape, and machamp should have been an easy one shot with play rough - but i missed, so it got to kill me with thunderpunch. after more cursing, and swapping between mitsuru and mayuri to let its toxic orb wear it down i killed it
need to stop being dumb
>>46098340good job schizo anon
>>46098641not really. bastiodon is kind of a pain to use even if it does have nice bulk and utility (though when it works, it works), and rampardos is terrible. all depends on what you need them for, but in base dppt i don't think there's much of a point to using them
>>46098256ay based bro!
