I've been playing this run for a while now. Just beat the last gym and about to board team Plasma's ship.
It's honestly been a very strange run. I skipped my encounter in route 2 until after the gym just so I could have a chance to catch a Venipede. Luckily it worked out but it could've been my undoing, as I had a near wipeout at Cheren's gym (I don't exactly remember how Azurill survived that). Then I had an incredibly stable midgame until dropping the ball after Skyla's gym. Azumarill, Scolipede and Excadrill are basically my core team, since they've been on board ever since they were caught.
