Misty was not a pushover, but not too scary due to Ricardo's sheer power. Let's be honest though, the real challenge of Cerulean City is Blue, who was a tough battle but didn't kill anybody.
Backtracking a bit, I caught Beakface just before Mt Moon but unfortunately he was not long for this world, getting brutally murdered by the last Team Rocket guy (is he an admin? idk), along with Elon Musk who had to be sacrificed so Ricardo could live. Picked up a Moon Stone, and a Zubat named Nosferatu. This playthrough seems to be turning into a poison type mono run.
Ricardo and Birdbrain evolved while training on Route 4, and Spiny Jeff evolved in the fight against Misty. Should I use the Moon Stone to evolve him into a Nidoking ASAP or are there any moves worth keeping him as a Nidorino for?
