>>34362229Followed this advice, caught a slave marill and used it to catch one pokemon in Petalburg City. That pokemon ended up being a level 32 marill. Nice, I stuck surf on it and finally started my adventure into TOO MUCH WATER.
I went everywhere I could think of to 'grind'/progress; specifically New Mauville and all the open ocean routes. Then I continued on my main quest, and everything went pretty much fine.
Majesty learned light screen, so now the only damaging move Majesty knows is toxic, which is amusing (albeit not optimal?)
Two more members were lost, however. One was to pure stupidity on my part, thinking my Slugma could tank a water gun from a (pretty low level) wingull.
Acantha was sad to lose. She fucked up a bit beforehand, knocking out a wild manetric with a crit before I could catch it... and then she got rekt. She must have been antsy, because she was so close to sprouting wings and becoming a dragon... Well, welcome back Jiggy.
Time to plan out my approach to this gym.
Or just let Kaboom go to town
