Well, first gym cleared...and a loss again. Not my starter, but it was a blow nonetheless.
I was kind of in a bit of a hard spot - only Parfait and Cupcake were on or around the level of Roark's dreaded Cranidos. Problem was, after expending the only potion I had on keeping the former in the fight, since I'm trying to use mostly what I salvage from the overworld, she was outsped and hanging on by two HP, though not without getting Cranidos down to half health through Bubble. Thing was, few members of my party outsped Cranidos, and those that did - Rumtopf, Battenberg and possibly Eclair - had no damaging moves and no effective moves, respectively. Cupcake was also pretty weak in physical defense. I could have possibly tried for Astonish flinching, but that's related to luck more than anything else, and Zubat is mighty frail.
So I turned Huckabuck, and I hoped that she would at least get a Rock Smash in to perhaps leave an opening. Absorbing a Headbutt well enough on the switch, I thought she would last long enough to fire off that shot...but I was mistaken. Cupcake was sent out to hopefully avenge her, and although I feared the worst when another Headbutt connected, she missed out on flinching. Mega Drain was more than enough.
Currently flying missing man formation, of sorts. Cleared out Floaroma and slathered some honey on the tree there...hopefully what I get is good.
Sorry, Huckabuck. You deserved a better exit than that.
